The 3 choice dinner options are good as well as the sushi. Try the green tea shave ice with azuki beans for dessert. We go here because its close to Aina Haina but usually i walk out very satisfied with the food.

Essentials

Much cheaper than Foodland Farms and their steak and shrimp plates are awesome! If you plan on buying a lot of groceries you can save much by driving 10 minutes further. Otherwise Foodland Farms right next door in Aina Haina Shopping Center offers quality food and is close.

Entertainment & Activities

It's often crowded but we still love the beaches, beautiful sunsets, lively night life and great restaurants. We recommend to park at the zoo and walk down the promenade. The parking is $1/hour and you can reload via cell phone. If you dont want to immerse yourself, simply drive through with windows open on Friday or Saturday night to experience the sights and sounds of street performers, lively tourists and other fanfare.

Sightseeing

One of the best surfing spots for experienced surfers because of its 'tubular' quality. As a spectator you can get fairly close to the action to take great pictures. Try to park at Ehukai Beach Park or vicinity.
