A popular local choice is called the plate lunch. The plate lunch consists of fish, meat or poultry entree, two scoops of sticky rice, and some macaroni salad. The price is usually very affordable and you'll probably get more food than you can eat.Because of Kailua's eclectic residents and visitors, you will not only find Pacific Rim cuisine but some of the best Italian, American, Mexican, and Middle Eastern food available.
