I have been coming here for four years for breakfast, it is in a great location and the price is right! I just found out that parking is 50 cents for the coffee house guests, just to the right of the ABC store around the corner, get your parking pass validated! We loved the marmalade French toast and the pancakes... More

As a guest at the Aqua Palms (excellent value) I was pleased to receive a discound on my meals at Wailana. Open round the clock, I found it most convenient and enjoyed the all you can eat salad bar. A very busy place but the atmosphere and decor pleasant. More

Can't count how many times we've had holiday meals here. Good food, wait staff has been there forever but they are good, great specials. Close to Hilton Hawaiian Village. Sometime has long lines. More

The first time I visited, two years ago, I wondered how the place got such good reviews. I went for breakfast last week and had a very different experience. The service was good and also quick, as it was last time. This time though, the food was quite good. I had the giant, Belgian waffle with fruit and whipped cream.... More

Went in for a late dinner. Kind of diner food feel. Easy to pick something to eat, but I wouldn't go there for something healthy and light. Easy to eat and not very expensive. More

My husband and can always get a good meal here. It's comfort food. Nothing fancy. The service is spot on and they don't pretend to be what they aren't. The egg foo young omelet is my favorite late night meal. More

Wailana is the last stop--or first stop to begin your day. You can get a decent price for a decent meal. More

When looking at the Wailana from outside...it looks like a really old restaurant...like before Denny's came to town!...and when you go inside, it's very dated & you may want to turn around & walk out...but DON'T! The service & food are good and nothing to be afraid of! Enjoy a cuppa joe & some eggs, rice & portuguese sausage! More

This is one of the places that has been here forever. You see it every now nad then on Hawaii 5 0, so why not experience it? For sightseeing it is worth it. But the food is greasy and service slow/variable. Often there is a line to get in and frankly there are better places with a better view. They... More
