Maria Bonita Lunchwagon

👍👍 Old food truck run by what looked like a father (super nice) and son. Food was great and so were the prices considering how expensive ingrediants are right now in Hawaii. Just 6 min from the beach and 3 min from the main part of town. We tried the Taquitos, Spicy Burrito and Fish Tacos. Not disapp...

Leilani's Island Tacos
Fast food restaurant
👍👍 Not pictured: my boyfriends Caribbean jerk chicken—it was out of this world 🌎🌍!!!!! I had the fish tacos (pictured) and they were great too. But the jerk chicken tacos are a must if you love spice and heat! The spice level is no joke. Please try this place and thank me later!!

Off the Hook Poke Market
Hawaiian restaurant
😠 Not sure why there's such a huge hype here.. a 4.8 rating in September-22. I found this place with Google's recommendation and the experience was a total disaster. If you’re going based on the google rating, I advise not!
I didn't enjoy any of the food here. Staff recommended the cold ginger ahi...

22 Kailua
Sushi restaurant
👍👍 Wow- go with an empty stomach and enjoy traditional omakase in an intimate and cozy setting. I think this place seats ten at the most. So much food and such amazing quality! BYOB I suggest sake or Asian beer. Not a rolls place, this is for serious sushi lovers.

Guava Smoked
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 Restaurant is on the second floor. An elevator is available from the parking lot in the back. We had the smoked duck, and "spicy" smoked pork. Both were delicious, though the duck was on another level. The pork wasn't spicy at all. We had kimchee as a side. It's a bit on the small side and not very...

Paia FishMarket Kailua
Seafood restaurant
👍👍 I got the snapper burger. The fish is excellent, the bun is cheap and sweet. For my taste, grated cheese and coleslaw are not ideal with fish. Overall, I quickly received a good piece of fish for a reasonable price.
