Right on Poka‘i Bay. Bands frequent here. The restaurant is on an Army base so if you do not have either a CAC card or military ID, you'll have to park outside of the guard shack and walk in. The guards will require a driver's license or other government-issued ID to get in. Not a huge deal.
The menu seems to change here and there. The food is always tasty. Pretty sure they'll cut up your catch and cook it however you want.

Another cash only place. Not much fluff here but the food is good and the portions are lolo. If you have a big appetite and are low on funds this is the spot.

Casual place to eat in the Disney Aulani Resort. Nothing is cheap here - it's a Disney resort. If you're in the mood for a lobster roll, this is probably the closest place to get one.

Next to Barbeque Kai. Everything is good here imo. Faves are sunrise tea, sunset tea, honeydew shake, mango li hing mui shake, taro pudding & macarons...
Fancy drink shops are plentiful around the island but this one is close to the condo.

It's a chain for all kinds of Hawaiian plate lunch. Portions are big but I think Barbeque Kai across the street's are bigger. They're both good. L&L's garlic chicken, bbq chicken sandwich and teriyaki beef sandwich are tasty among everything else.
