The food was amazing and a welcome respite from the other tourist trap restaurants along Ali'i Drive. The waitress even recommended other local restaurants to try while in town. We did and they were all great. Great value for the quality of the food too. It's a steal considering the usual prices.

This place is easy to miss, tucked away at the back of a little mall. It's a small bistro type restaurant with fresh food and a good menu. Great value, lots of food.... 2 entree's and 2 beers...$44!!!

Probably the best restaurant in Kailua - we love the range of options and the freshness - staff was pleasant. We had Gado Gado (vegetarian) and fish of the day Ono with stirfried veg and coconut rice. Amazingly good!

The chicken curry dish was pretty good, but I had a little food envy over the steak special and the paw paw chicken my friends got. Service was great, nice quiet atmosphere. very small and cute.

Though tucked away in a cheesey little strip mall type thing this place was awesome. I had a combo with the chicken satay and shrimp stir fry and my girlfriend had a beef stir fry thing and both were great, full of fresh veggies and lots of flavor. You shouldn't miss this place.

I love the fact that it's a small family-owned restaurant that take advantage of the fresh produce from the big island with reasonable price!! Very glad that we found this place!!

I joined two friends for lunch, expecting great food (from TA reviewers), but I thought the price would be much higher. There is a lunch menu with very good prices for Kona. One friend & I each ordered the lunch special with chicken done two ways, house rice, and spring rolls. $6.99. I had a hard time choosing which chicken... More

If you liked Sibu (which used to be at this same location) then you will like Rapanui ~ reportedly now owned by the former cook at Sibu, the menu is quite similar ~ Asian/Indonesian influenced ingredients and preparation and all very tasty ~ friendly service ~ perhaps a little on the pricey side for the atmosphere ~ but, I keep...
