    I ordered a Thai Crunch salad and this cake with ice cream on it. It's super delcious! The cake was chocolate and warm and the ice cream was vanilla flavored. Its a great combination of chocolateand vanilla and hold and cold. highly recommend it. The waitress was very helpful and polite. This place does not offer military discount. Overall. I would come here again.

    They ruined my dinner date. Ordered veg pizza and it was fully burnt. Complained to the manager and we got a second pizza which is as shown and was the same as the first one. Later we walked out thinking 7-11 frozen pizza would have been much better than what we had here. If you still plan to visit after this review then try it under your own risk. Look at the pizza we got. Please don't laugh but we have tried several CPKs in different locations but this one was the worst and absolutely not acceptable.

    (Translated by Google) There is a store in Lazona, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture in Japan, but if you come to Hawaii personally, you will want to stop by for some reason to eat garlic cream fettuccine. There is also a Japanese menu. Also, the soup may change daily, but the soup is delicious, so be sure to order it when you get the hang of it. (Original) 日本にも神奈川県川崎市のラゾーナに店舗がありますが、個人的にハワイに来たらガーリッククリームフェットチーネを食べに何故か立ち寄りたくなるお店です。日本語メニューもあります。 あと、日替わりかもしれませんが、スープも美味しいので、ピンときたら是非注文してみて下さい。

    Food & drink was fine. The hostess idea of clearing tables was just moving dirty dishes to another table. We were there between lunch and dinner at a time when they were not crazy busy and there were dirty dishes everywhere. We ended up begging our server to at least clear the table opposite ours, so it was at least out of our immediate sight line. DISGUSTING. PS one note on whomever cut our pizza was either drunk or blind. That bad!!!

    Food was good but not great. Service great. Prices too high.

  • 5/5 googly b. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent service and great tasting food. A little wait during dinner time but it's worth it.

  • 4/5 Ivonne R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service and the atmosphere was overall really pleasant. Even though we walked in on a Friday without reservations the wait wasn't so bad. My only issue really would be that when the pizza I ordered came out, the bottom of it was semi covered in what I'm guessing to be excess flour that turned black while it was baking or from the multiple pizzas they bake throughout the day. The wine was great as always, and so was the spinach artichoke dip. 10/10 if you can get the dip, get the dip. Sibling had this banh mi power bowl and that was good too, but also semi spicy. If you want something light but filling with a bit of spice, get that. She got a tropical mule too, and that was dangerously good. So if you're looking for great food and other adult beverage choices this is a good place to start with.

    Chicken sandwich was okay. There wasn’t too much chicken in it more veggies. The bread kept on breaking apart so I ended up eating what little chicken I had. I wish they had put more chicken in the sandwich to cover the entire bread. The cucumber drink was good. The red velvet cake was delicious.

    CPK always delivers consistent high-quality service. They have lots of options on their menu. I had the Jambalaya Linguine, which includes chicken, shrimp and sausage. A large serving, delicious and spicy! The drinks were good and not too expensive. My wife liked the Hawaiian pizza but said it wasn't great.

  • 5/5 Joan L. 3 years ago on Google
    Good service. Try their cauliflower pizza crust. Delicious and low carb.

  • 4/5 Steve I. 2 years ago on Google
    We were looking for a light Sunday night meal and decided to get a pizza. The wife loves California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) and often buys the frozen pizza because there is no CPK where we live. The pizza is really meant to be a single person meal but we eat small meals so the pizza, bread and a drink was filling. My favorite meal at CPK is the Kung Poa Spaghetti with Chicken or Shrimp but I was not hungry enough to eat that much food this time. This is one of our “go to” restaurants in any city!

  • 5/5 Rochelle D. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was good. But what really made the experience was the people. I got lost looking for the curbside pickup, the girls were super understanding. Then when Dave ( curbside pickup delivery guy) found me he was super nice, understanding, and thoughtful. There was a bit of a hangup with the checking out process but nothing that terrific customer service didn't solve. Thanks everyone. And a huge shout out to Dave. I highly recommend CPK Ala Moana.

  • 4/5 Wacomoley 3 years ago on Google
    Better than expected, had the creamy garlic fettuccine with chicken, done really nice, some of the pasta was a little too aldente, but overall great experience.

  • 4/5 우유바나나 2 years ago on Google
    The food was great! the only thing was when I got my avocado egg rolls it was really soggy as if it was sitting for a bit. HOWEVER, all the salmon was great, the mocktails were refreshing, and the pizza was great.

  • 3/5 Esther L 4. 1 year ago on Google
    My complaints: Waiting for my food for over 30 minimum setting down. And still have to wait longer, Too cold 🥶 my lunch and have to ask for reheating again reply. And the pizza 🍕 take home special, after I have to cook that, not even taste good & was very tough chewy on period. Plus the food was over priced. This is my first time, since my last trip over 17 years ago. Used to be was very good, now time has change. The waitress young lady she is more focused on the larger table than my table . Take Forever bring my food & no napkin, no knife, and no cheese, I had to keep asking the bus boy to help me. I guess she think larger table she will get more tips. Well bad for her. I only gave some tips to the bus boy but not for the waitress and the cook. Only got great view on my table. That's why I gave it three stars.

  • 5/5 Iyke I. 2 years ago on Google
    The personel was very nice. Food came fast but quality was still excellent. Benjamin was our server and he was very attentive. The Sangria Flight was delicious, highly recommend the berry or honey sangria. Very flavorful. The Jambalayan pasta was very good: pasta was at the perfect level of cookedness and it was overall very tasty. Very satisfied with this place. I would truly recommend.

  • 5/5 johnathan r. 1 year ago on Google
    Got right in around 3 PM on a Wednesday for late lunches after walking around a big mall for a couple hours. We had a chip and guacamole appetizer, two pops, and two smaller portion sized salads (Chicken Caesar and Italian Chop). Service was great, food came out quick, looking good, and tasting really good. Bill with 20% tip was $44.40... Would absolutely eat here again, maybe try the gluten free pizza.

    I did a take out order of margarita pizza n Mac & Cheese for dinner. The girl who wait on us was very polite,kind, n courteous. Great costumer service. She was local asian in a white checker strip blouse. Thanks for the great smiles .... keep up the great work 🤙🙏

  • 3/5 Juergen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Like any California pizza kitchen - acceptable, budget and what is missing is to be able to build your own pizza. . I go there for the pea soup but add vinegar. - love it.

  • 4/5 Vincent L. 8 months ago on Google
    A great CPK. My friends and me could have a hot meal since It opened till late. The pizza was baked freshly and tasted great. I love both bbq chicken and mushroom pizzas. The chip and salsa was also impressive with two colors of chips. Their complimentary breads were great with dipping oil. One problem was that their restroom was out of use.

    *Kids eat free thru 7/31/23* We visited on July 3rd. Delicous pizza with Great service! We arrived somewhat close to closing time and they happily served us without rushing us. Our server made sure to get our order right and she took my pizza back when she realized they had included onions after I requested "no onions". With that said, the Carne asada pizza was great! The green sauce added a good tangy flavor. Hawaiian pizza had a high-quality ham with sweet pineapple. The kids loved the kids' plain cheese. The cucumber drink was refreshing, with a fresh mint flavor, almost like a mojito minus the alcohol 😋

  • 5/5 Kim “Kimber808” D. 6 months ago on Google
    We went about 330p and found out that all alcoholic drinks were half price for happy hour! My bf loved it and ordered the top shelf margaritas. We had the egg roll appetizers and the works pizza. Bill was only 50.00 with 3 drinks ordered

  • 4/5 donna h. 3 years ago on Google
    Really great pizza. If you want a true pizza experiance... then you have to try the Margherita pizza here. Too die for!!

  • 5/5 Gary W. 3 years ago on Google
    The pizza is still as good as I remembered and it still taste better with beer! The service is friendly and just awesome. With social distancing, there's far fewer tables. It felt kinda eerie inside. I saw a lot of people ordering takeout. I'm glad that there's that option. But you can't beat the ocean view at Sunset on a beautiful day. It made my dinner that more delicious.

  • 4/5 Joanne B. 3 years ago on Google
    Carne asada pizza & sticky Asian cauliflower ❤💕

  • 5/5 Bernadette K. 3 years ago on Google
    Didn't have to wait long. They never disappoint.

  • 3/5 Todd D. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm not sure why this location has much slower service than all the others. Over the years, even when the restaurant was slow with less than half the tables occupied, I noticed it took a while before I was able to order. The food also took significantly longer to come out than compared to the other CPK locations regardless of how busy. But I have noticed the hostesses are always extremely polite at this location.

  • 5/5 Julie O. 3 years ago on Google
    Always my husband and my go-to place when we're just hanging out. My favorite is the grilled veggie salad with salmon and a glass of wine. So ono!

  • 1/5 Veronica J. 3 years ago on Google
    I usually love California Pizza Kitchen but our food tasted so old and stale. The lettuce in the salad was almost bad and the pizza was cold. Quite disappointed for a $50 meal. I will probably choose to get elsewhere next time.

  • 2/5 Joshua E. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a BBQ chicken pizza. The pizza was less than my expectations, there was too much BBQ sauce, the crust was good but not evenly spread, and poorly cut. The booth I sat in smelled like a indoors McDonald's playground.

  • 5/5 Adam Blue S. 3 years ago on Google
    Better than buying from the store and heating in oven at home. Mexican street corn very good
