Restaurants near Sand Island

We took my mother-in-law to Hula Grill to celebrate her birthday. There were six of us, and we ordered a variety of dishes to share: Caesar salad with grilled chicken, seafood chowder, guava BBQ chicken, Korean chicken wings, mushroom cashew ravioli, Localicious salad, and focaccia bread. The highlight of the meal was definitely the focaccia bread, paired with their famous chili pepper water mixed with olive oil—absolutely delicious! While the guava BBQ chicken was a bit dry and the mushroom cashew ravioli overly salty, the bread and our amazing waiter, Paco, truly made the evening special.

“Tii” (aka: Tida) is the best server. She is full of energy and super bubbly. Funny too. Wife and I had a great time here. Enjoyed the food and view. It is literally right on the beach. Food delicious and drinks outrageous. You use stop in.

Excellent on all counts. Outstanding Pork Belly dish, as well as Ahi with natto, okra & Yama imo. Beets (salad) perfectly cooked, corn beignets light & delicious. Note: You don’t have to be a drinker to enjoy a meal here, altho menu is Izakaya style. Service attentive & unobtrusive.

We’re having a nice honeymoon trip! All servers are really kind and nice. They care all of our dinner.

This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.
