Welcome to Kapa Hale!

Kapa Hale has a modern influence on Hawai'i Regional Cuisine. We promote local products and combine them with familiar ethnic influences that showcase a cuisine that can only be found in today's Hawai'i.

We can help to celebrate life's special events -- whether it's a large party or an intimate prix-fixe menu. We can accommodate different styles of events -- cocktail reception, sit-down family style menus, etc. Chef Keaka Lee was recently recognized as a James Beard semifinalist for Best Chef in the Northwest and Pacific. And finalist for the Vegetarian category for the local Hale 'Aina Awards by Honolulu Magazine.

We're located next to Olive Tree Cafe, outside of Kahala Mall. We have a small, private parking lot.

    Kapa Hale always serves up great food and last night was no exception! My table ordered a variety of dishes including the arancini, cornbread w/ both the lilikoi honey butter and uni butter, the Winter set menu (the favorite from that was the Funghi pasta), the steak, the Hawaiian lechon, and many other dishes. Everything was crafted to perfection! The service was excellent as well! They gifted us an order of brussel sprouts to start since they felt the food was taking longer than normal, which was so kind of them (and the Brussels were delicious!). The chef came to our table at the end of the night to thank us for supporting and apologize again for the wait, which we didn’t think was that bad since we were lost in conversation. I guess that shows how attentive they are and it was a nice gesture for the chef to come to the table himself. We will definitely be back!

    This place has potential. I saw this was in the consideration for a james beard award. Overall value wise this place is a solid pick. Good food local ingredients. What needs improving but I think it will. The wine list was "in transition" our waitress said as the wine we chose by the glass was not available. The staff not really knowing the wine list is something to improve. The overall look of the bathrooms. They desperately need remodeled. Overall good food at a fair price. It is not fine dining. It is local dining and that is ok if that what you are expecting.

    Great neighborhood restaurant. Chef Lee came home from NYC and brought his own fusion style cuisine. It all works wonderfully.

    Very tasty fusion food and friendly service. The restaurant looks like it is a slightly upgraded mall restaurant, so not exactly elegant -- but an excellent value given the quality of the food.

    The best meal we ate on Oahu! Creative menu, fantastic cooking, excellent wine list, and spectacular dessert. We can’t wait to return to this unassuming restaurant.

    Every dish and cocktail tasted amazing! Many of the cocktails are on the sweeter side, which I love, but they might not be for those who prefer less sweet drinks. The daily specials or off-menu items were a bit hard to remember, and my parents, who don’t speak English, couldn’t understand them. But in the end, it didn’t matter because everything tasted great! They timed the à la carte and main dish perfectly, and the atmosphere inside was nice and comfortable. The prices aren’t cheap, but I think you get what you pay for—and it was totally worth it. I highly recommend this place and am adding Kapa Hale to my list of favorite restaurants!
