- DDonHawaii •4 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGood food and service - we always go there when we are Kailua. Parking in their lot is limited but there are many spots on the street and I believe the meters do not run in the evenings. The restaurant is located on a street corner, so you will hear traffic if you sit outside - but it is Hawaii so we always sit outside! Mahalo and Aloha!More infoKalapawai CafePrice: Moderate• Comfort Food• Kailua•4.8
- BBrandyIdaho •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe had a wonderful time celebrating a birthday lunch! The overall experience was great - both the food and service were excellent. Our only concern was the flies, as the restaurant keeps the front door open, and we found ourselves constantly swatting them away. A simple solution, like table fans, could help with this. Other than that, everything was fantastic, and we’ll definitely be back!More infoBanyans Craft Kitchen & LoungePrice: Expensive• Fusion / Eclectic• Kailua•4.6

- OTOpenTable DinerHawaii •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoIts a fun little place. Great food!! Prices are reasonable, but We weren't expecting the fees added to the individual items plus a fee at the end of the bill. Of course now everyone charges various fees, but it should be explained. As you don't usually tip on the excise tax, but here they add it before the total amount of the bill on the invoice. oh well. That was the ONLY downer.More infoGaslampPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• Honolulu•4.7

Discover Kailua
Kailua is a beautiful city on Oahu where tourists can have a relaxing beachside dining experience. One of the local favorites is traditional Hawaiian food. Try delicious poi, poke or even Kalua pig cooked in an underground oven. The pork belly is not to be missed. These dishes are made with local ingredients and often come with a generous helping of pineapple and rice. These restaurants frequently have live luau music and traditional dance. Several Italian restaurants and Japanese hibachi grills showcase the immigrant diversity of the island. Plenty of places are open late, so you can stay on the beach until the sun goes down while enjoying a spam musubi or an impossibly fresh grilled ahi sandwich. Most of Kailua's venues have a casual atmosphere that caters to tourists while remaining laid back and welcoming to all.
