Kapiolani Coffee Shop-Waimalu

Beef stew was one of the best on island. Beef was tender and the potatoes and carrots were cooked perfectly too. Kalbi was tender and nicely seasoned. Char siu ramen was good - char siu was really tender. Great friendly service.

The service is always quick and staff is very nice and helpful. Try to go here after rush hours so the wait time to get a table would be shorter. I always get their Kalbi Fried Rice, or Loco Moco, or Oxtail soup, or Teriyaki Chicken, or Ramen.

Not a local but been coming to this restaurant forever. I never waiver and only order their oxtail soup. This is my comfort place and can eat here everyday. Service is excellent and the young ladies tending are awesome.

11/20/2021 Hubby was craving Kim Chee fried rice. He remembered that he saw a sign posted some time ago so we came here for takeout. He ordered Kim Chee fried rice with two eggs and got me a bacon & egg sandwich. He said his rice was had a good flavor and had a lot of Kim chee in it l. I loved my sandwich! I'm picky about sandwiches and this one had all the parts right. Great bread, bacon was cooked crispy, scrambled eggs were fluffy, and the lettuce was crunchy. There was a perfect amount of mayo. Simple and awesome!

I would highly recommend to stay away from the garlic shrimp. I've been having diarrhea/blood for 2 days and it's the only reason I'm writing this review.

Get what there known for: oxtail soup. That's where it's at.

This is one of the best place to get ox tail soup....highly recommend it....also you can change regular to their fried rice..... lup cheong fried rice is so ono....almost finish the whole thing.....don't let the name confuse you they have good food....

Home to one if the best oxtail soup. For over 40 years from what I can remember the soup was the best. Naturally over time people improve and n my age it better.

They have a full array of local food items. I actually love the stew and Mac salad.

Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. This is one of my "go to" spots for good local comfort food.

Seriously our first time here. Oxtail soup was our main reason to go. It was served with lots of cilantro, minced ginger on the side and a couple scoops of rice. It was filling and tasted good. Hit the spot for craving of oxtail soup. Staff were friendly.

Favorite place to eat Oxtail Soup the best on island and i tried alot of other places but the price of Oxtail soup is getting expensive...
