Reviews for Kawaihae Kitchen in Waimea, HI
This place seemed to be really well rated on Yelp however, it is over hyped. Though the food was good; the portion size, overall... taste, wait experience and price were not worth it. Kudos to the restaurant for having atleast one vegetarian option. Read more
Food was good, and if you show up early the price is great.
Katsu chicken bento (surf bento) is devoid of seasoning. The only part of the lunch that had any flavor was the spam. The bento... came with ketchup as the sauce for the chicken, which says everything you need to know really. Read more

Total waste of time and money. Ordered a bento box. After taking my money they then told me it would be a 15 min wait. Fine, no... problem. 45 minutes later, still no food. 50 minutes...still no food. There are no tables, no place to sit inside or outside. Read more
