Jolene's by the Bay

Jolene's Hawaii has been a popular spot for seafood lovers ever since it first opened in Chinatown in 2019 right before the pandemic. Known for their affordable and delicious lobster rolls, the restaurant quickly garnered attention and expanded over the years. With three locations now— airport area, Ewa Beach, and Kaneohe—Jolene’s has solidified its place as a local favorite. While it’s sad to see their original Chinatown location close, you can still get their delicious lobster rolls and 18-hour smoked brisket at their new spots more than makes up for it.

We recently had the chance to visit the Kaneohe location, which is nestled at the Bayview Golf Course. This location boasts a stunning view of the lush green golf course, but what’s even better is that the entire restaurant is open-air, so you can enjoy the breeze while taking in the beautiful surroundings—making it a perfect place to unwind with some great food.

Of course, we couldn’t visit Jolene's without trying their signature dish—the famous lobster roll. It absolutely did not disappoint! Generous chunks of fresh lobster are packed into a soft roll, and every bite is bursting with flavor. It’s the kind of lobster roll that makes you feel like you’re getting your money’s worth with every bite.


But there’s more to Jolene's than just their lobster rolls! We were also blown away by their braised brisket. Whether you choose to have it as a sandwich or plate, it’s absolutely divine. Tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, it quickly became a favorite with the boys at the table. If you’re a fan of hearty, savory dishes, this one should definitely be on your list.




To round out the meal, we couldn’t resist trying their bubble drinks. These refreshing beverages are the perfect complement to the rich and savory flavors of the lobster roll and brisket. Plus, who doesn’t love a good bubble tea to sip on while enjoying the view?



From the generous lobster rolls to the mouthwatering braised brisket, there’s something for everyone on the menu. And don’t forget to add a bubble drink to complete your experience!
