About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Vegetarian-friendly
Welcome to Kapa Hale!

Kapa Hale has a modern influence on Hawai'i Regional Cuisine. We promote local products and combine them with familiar ethnic influences that showcase a cuisine that can only be found in today's Hawai'i.

We can help to celebrate life's special events -- whether it's a large party or an intimate prix-fixe menu. We can accommodate different styles of events -- cocktail reception, sit-down family style menus, etc. Chef Keaka Lee was recently recognized as a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef in the Northwest and Pacific. And finalist for the Vegetarian category for the local Hale 'Aina Awards by Honolulu Magazine.

We're located next to Olive Tree Cafe, outside of Kahala Mall. We have a small, private parking lot.

    This is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot of the top restaurants in the world. The menu is inspired, everything - I mean everything, we ordered was top notch. The service was also impeccable- the chef spent some time talking to us which was really special as well.

    Delicious food, tasty drinks, comfy environment, and friendly service. Parking outside restaurant can be an issue but there is parking in the mall. Just a short walk away. Had dinner here and plan to return one day. Next time for brunch!

    Never disappointed by the food - always delicious. Our table ordered the Green Eggs & Ham, Croque Wahine, 2 Loco Mocos and the Burger. On this particular day, service was a bit slow (shorthanded) and it took a bit for our food to come to the table. However, we were meeting up with friends who flew in for a brief visit so it gave us more time to talk and catch up - so not removing any stars for that. Chef also sent out an appetizer for us while we waited. The food is worth the wait. Based on this visit (brunch) and my last visit (dinner), if you are not in a rush and want to spend time with those dining with you, the wait is not much of a bother. Better than being rushed out in 90 minutes so that the next reservation can be prepped.

    It was one of the most enjoyable meals All dishes were ono. We had these Arecibo rice balls that were crispy with a flavorful filling. The zucchini appetizer was thin slices with a tasty sauce My entree was the oxtail luau. Meat came off bone with a spoon and the luau tasted so rich. It was accompanied with couscous… wonderful as it complemented the dish well My husband had the prime rib … thick slice and oh so tender Dessert was the lemon dream and guriguri Service was attentive and chef came out to chat for awhile. We patronize this restaurant because the food is always good but this dinner was the best

    We had a lovely meal for 4 adults and 2 children. The naan ya business and corny bread were wonderful starters. We also enjoyed the brussels, 'ulu, and lei po'o salad before the Where's da beef entrees. The unique and tasty cocktails were great, too. Our server, Ethan, was polite and attentive. We definitely plan to return soon.
