    Kalapawai is always a favorite for our family! We’ve been here many times and the food is consistently fresh, delicious, and the portions are great. They always have incredible specials, too, which makes it fun to try something different every time we go. Last night my husband and I both had the New York strip, which was perfectly seasoned and cooked exactly right. One of our kids had the ahi special, which was amazing, and my son always gets the De’Geevum burger, his favorite! The staff is also one of the reasons we keep coming back. The servers are genuinely some of the friendliest people you’ll ever meet, and they are always incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating with food allergies and sensitivities. My husband and I are both very sensitive to gluten, and we always feel comfortable eating here. Such a great local spot with consistently amazing food and wonderful people. Definitely one of our family favorites!

    Happy hour drinks were great — double bourbon pours filled the glass to the rim! Appetizers were fantastic, the bistecca is a must-have. And the pono pork pasta — OMG, we had porkasms! Nice sports-bar atmosphere but kinda loud.
