Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Good food overlooking the golf course

Jul 2023 • family

We went to the establishment before checking in at Turtle Bay, and we already enjoyed the beautiful view of the golf course during lunch. Interestingly, the hostess already takes the order at the entrance (standing) and then takes it to the table. We opted for the basics: Cheeseburger, Cobb Salad, Hawaiian Fresh Fish Plate, no mistake. Good service and prices within expectations.

Great Food, Incredible Service…skip roys

Dec 2023 • couples

While we were vacationing at the Turtle Bay Resort someone suggested we try Lei-Lei’s as it was our last night visiting. The food was quite good but the service was even better. Our server Chaz was so good. She even gave us some chocolate chip cookies to take home with us. If You’re staying at Turtle Bay this With the 458450 that’s John I don’t know is the first place you should eat!

Good food and views of the golf course

Nov 2023 • friends

The food is good and views of the golf course make this a lovely place for lunch and dinner. The menu is mostly American style. We ate here twice in one week and enjoyed burgers, pasta, and club sandwiches. Very casual atmosphere and choice of inside or outside dining.

Way overcharged for a cocktail

Mar 2024 • family

The restaurant and food were just fine. Things got weird when the check came and they had charged me a total of $39 for my cocktail. My husband ordered a gin and tonic for which were charged $10. For my Makers Mark Manhattan we were charged $22 plus $4 for calling a brand. When my drink came it was the color of iced tea and tasted weaker. I asked that another once of Makers Mark be added which they did. When the bill came they had added an other $13 for a double. Grand total was $22 plus $4 plus $13, a grand total of $39 … this for one drink. We challenged the cost and the $4 and $13 were removed from our bill, if a bit grudgingly. The question is why a Manhattan is more than twice the cost of a gin and tonic. And why calling a brand is another $4. I have never paid $26 for a Manhattan in any comparable restaurant. And then to add $13 because the drink was way too weak to drink was outrageous. Watch your bar bill very carefully when eating in this restaurant.

Disappointing and expensive

Aug 2024 • family

Overall pretty poor experience. The food was very expensive for what it was. I’m all for paying for a meal that was worth it but the price for what you got was definitely not worth it. The service was mediocre. We actually went twice to give it another shot since we were staying within walking distance of it. Very few menu options. Wouldn’t go back again.

I could have bought a bottle of vodka for the price of 2 drinks. No service outside except the nice guy to take the trash. The warm crab dip tasted like heated Chicken of the Sea and served in a recycled cardboard to go box. The COVID virus must have caused, not just a rental car shortage but also a plate shortage at Lei Lei's. At least they found a knife to slice the cold bread they served us so there is that silver lining. If your open, charging full prices then provide open full price service or reduce your rates and give your reduced rate service. I would rather eat at McDonald's than Lei Lei's after that experience.

Outstanding food and drinks

Apr 2022 • none

Lei Lei's is still operating under Covid protocols, with all outdoor dining, a somewhat limited menu and all meals served in cardboard containers. However, this does not detract from the splendid, perfectly prepared food, friendly service and attractive restaurant location right on the golf course. We had a delicious prime rib, yummy poke bowl and refreshing tomato salad, accompanied by great mai tais. We shared a dessert of cookies and ice cream drizzled with caramel to finish off a perfect meal.

Delicious food with a view.

Nov 2021 • family

Ordered on line. Covid, so dining room closed. Tables under the full moon sky. Food was delicious. Warm crab dip with fresh bread, shrimp cocktail got us started. Fish Caesar salad and prime rib followed. Very fresh vegetables and garlic mash potatoes came along for this delectable ride. Not a place if you're on a budget. But delicious!

Delicious food

May 2024 • couples

We recently ate at Lei Lei’s while staying at the Kuilima Estates. Our server Colin was great-attentive and friendly. Our meals were very delicious-I had the ahi and my husband had the pork chops. Everything was prepared perfectly. The only one downside was the annoying flies that kept landing on our plates. We liked the food so much that we did take out another night.

Terrific Turtle Bay place to eat and drink

Feb 2023 • family

A wonderful relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and consistently delicious food. You gotta drive up the coast and try this place! The appetizers that you must have are the Warm Crab Dip and the Calamari Steak. So good! Never had calamari so tender. The rack of ribs are great…meat falls off the bone. Great with the garlic mashed potatoes. Prime rib was cooked nicely. The seafood scampi on udon noodles was terrific! Dessert was vanilla ice cream with warm chocolate chip cookies and caramel sauce. Yum. Michael served us and was such a delight. This is a friendly place with excellent service and food. It’s worth the drive! There’s a reason the locals keep coming back.

Decent dinner

Jan 2020 • couples

We arrived pretty late in the evening and the staff were still full energy. The service was really we good. As for the food, the coconut shrimp was nice, the 14oz prime rib rare with mash potatoes was delicious and we wish we'd gone for a full rack instead of half a rack of ribs! The cocktails weren't anything to write home about though, so we switched to local beers. Great spot if you're staying at/near Turtle Bay or just visiting for casual dining that fills you up and attentive friendly staff.

Best meal of my life

Dec 2020 • couples

This place was hands down the best meal I’ve had in my 36 years on this planet. Both my husband and I inhaled our meal and then ordered dessert. Everything was delicious!! Due to COVID only the takeout menu was available but our buddy Ian helped secure a table on the golf course and we enjoyed a beautiful sunset view with our meal. Please come here if you are visiting the North Shore you won’t regret it. The restaurant is in the Turtle Bay Resort area but you don’t have to be staying at the resort to eat there FYI. Currently, the resort isn’t open.

Food, good. Service, not

Feb 2020 • couples

Ordinarily I will not give poor review for service, because I appreciate that it's a difficult job. I found the food satisfactory and the prices typical for a resort restaurant. The problem came at the end of our meal when I asked the waitress if she could split the ticket as my husband was there on business and his meal was reimbursable, but mine was not. We were told it was against policy which I found surprising given that this was a golf club restaurant right next to the clubhouse. I guess if you are playing in a foursome, someone in your party has to pay for the meal.

Surprising delicious food on the north shore

Aug 2021 • family

We went to the north shore to get away from the bustle of Waikiki and were famished by the days end. This restaurant popped up on our map so we decided to give it a try. We did not have a reservation; however, the hostess on the phone told us not to let that deter us from coming over. We were fortunate enough to be seated within 5 minutes of arrival. To say we were blown away by the food would be an understatement. Every meal my family ordered was absolutely perfect. I cannot praise this establishment enough. Thoroughly impressed by the friendly staff and the excellent food. I highly recommend.

Just OK

Nov 2022 • family

Really just an average meal. Staff was mostly friendly, but the food was truly just meh. Filet mignon had artificial grill marks. The corn on the cob was boiled, not grilled. The mashed potatoes were very tasty. Never got a single refill of my soda. We had a fine experience, but certainly not what we expected for the price.
