Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Kuleana Rum Shack offers an inviting and casual atmosphere with "amazing" food and a variety of cocktails. Highlights include the "excellent" vegan coconut curry, seared ahi, and Kalua pork nachos. While service is generally "great," some guests note inconsistency. The unique rum blends and delicious malasadas are not to be missed.

    We had an early dinner with some pupus and two mains last night. Our server Colin was great. The drinks were very tasty and we had a very relaxing time overall. The place is very casual and has a good vibe.

    There was a total of 8 in our party. It was a last minute reservation for a group of agents that I was hosting. It was a perfect spot to host weary travelers on their first day on the island and to break bread w/them. We had the following food: - Kalua Pork Nachos (SOOOOO GOOD!) - Lumpia, not traditional Filipino lumpia, but what a great interpretation. Entrees: - Vegan Coconut Curry, I had this and it was EXCELLENT - Seared Ahi - Burger - Wedge Salad w/a side of Fries - Poke Bowl Desert: Malasadas - the overall consensus was that they were even better than Leonards! All of the food was fantastic, great quality and super tasty. Service was awesome! Our Server was wonderful and support staff too. Everyone was warm, welcoming and friendly. Mahalo Plenty for helping me to make quite an impression!
