Plate Lunch · Kapolei

Rainbow Drive-In

A beloved O'ahu institution bringing their legendary mixed plate and gravy fries to Kapolei. Comfort food that locals swear by.

Poke · Ko Olina

Monkeypod Kitchen

Farm-to-table dining with killer poke and handcrafted mai tais right at Ko Olina. The sunset views are unbeatable.

Ramen · Kapolei

Rich tonkotsu broth simmered for 18 hours. One of the best ramen spots on the west side — locals line up before it opens.

Coffee · Kapolei

Kona Coffee Purveyors

Single-origin Kona coffee done right. The pour-overs are worth the wait and the açaí bowls are some of the best on the west side.

Mexican · Kapolei

Cholo's Homestyle Mexican

West side staple for over a decade. The fish tacos and carne asada burritos are massive, fresh, and incredibly affordable.

Sushi · Ko Olina

Disney's Aulani resort restaurant — fresh island-caught fish, beachside atmosphere, and the most beautiful setting for a dinner on the west side.
