Salads, Wraps, or Sandwiches: What Sounds Good for Lunch?
There's no single right answer. It depends on whether you're craving something crisp and fruity, a savory wrap, or a familiar sandwich.
Here's a quick comparison to help narrow down the choices.
| If you're craving... | Try this | Why it might fit |
|---|---|---|
| A salad with fruit and seafood | Ono Island Ahi | Ahi tuna, mango, avocado, strawberries, and passion orange vinaigrette |
| A hearty, savory salad | Kamuela Cobb | Chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, and herb ranch |
| A warm, savory wrap | Grilled Steak Wrap | Steak, mushrooms, provolone, and goddess dressing |
| A sweet-savory chicken wrap | Curried Chicken Wrap | Curried chicken, mango chutney, grapes, and coconut |
| A classic sandwich | Chicken Pesto Sandwich | Grilled chicken, pesto, basil, and tomatoes |
| A meat-free option | Hummus Pita Wrap | Hummus, feta, olives, cucumbers, and vegetables |
The best part of having these options on one menu? You can order a salad while someone else chooses a sandwich, without needing to visit two restaurants.
Fresh Salads for a Kailua Lunch
Sometimes a salad is exactly what you're looking for, especially when you want plenty of different flavors in one bowl.
Our salads range from fruit-forward combinations to savory options with chicken, cheese, and vegetables. Every salad comes with pita bread.
Ono Island Ahi: A Taste of the Islands
The Ono Island Ahi brings together mixed greens, ahi tuna, mango, avocado, coconut, strawberries, green onions, and bean sprouts with passion orange vinaigrette.
The combination offers sweetness from the fruit, creaminess from the avocado, and the distinct flavor of ahi.
Our ahi is fresh, locally sourced, and never frozen. It comes through a Honolulu seafood supplier with catch-vessel traceability.
This is a good place to start if you're looking for a salad with seafood and island-inspired flavors.
Ono Island Ahi
Kamuela Cobb
Kamuela Cobb: For a Savory, Hearty Lunch
If you prefer savory toppings over fruit, our Kamuela Cobb is worth considering.
It combines mixed greens with chicken, bacon, egg, avocado, grape tomatoes, and blue cheese, finished with herb ranch dressing.
It's a natural choice when you're hungry for a salad with familiar, substantial ingredients.
Want to Choose Your Own Toppings?
Our Design Your Own Salad lets you choose your lettuce, four regular toppings, one cheese, and one dressing. Additional items cost extra.
It's useful when you have a particular combination in mind or would rather create your own lunch than select a signature salad.
You can compare these options on our full menu.
Wraps That Bring Something Different to Lunch
Not everyone wants a bowl of greens for lunch. Our wraps are a major part of the menu, with choices ranging from grilled steak to curried chicken.
Grilled Steak Wrap
Grilled steak, mushrooms, red onion, provolone, romaine, sundried tomatoes, and goddess dressing.
Curried Chicken Wrap
Curried chicken with mango chutney, carrots, cranberries, grapes, coconut, and romaine in pita.
The Grilled Steak Wrap makes sense when you're craving grilled meat and cheese. The Curried Chicken Wrap takes lunch in a sweeter direction, with mango chutney and fruit complementing the chicken.
For another seafood option, try our Fresh Island Ahi Wrap, which combines ahi with grape tomatoes, red onion, mixed greens, capers, and champagne dressing in pita.
Sandwiches for When You Want Something Familiar
Sometimes a sandwich is exactly what lunch calls for.
Our sandwich selection includes the Chicken Pesto Sandwich, Club Sub, and Caprese Sub, along with the Grilled Cheese Soup Combo.
Chicken Pesto Sandwich
Grilled chicken, pesto, basil, mixed greens, tomatoes, and mayo on your choice of bread.
Grilled Cheese Soup Combo
Havarti, cheddar, and fresh mozzarella on sourdough, paired with 6 ounces of tomato bisque.
If you're looking for a familiar chicken sandwich with the flavor of pesto and basil, start with the Chicken Pesto Sandwich.
If you're craving melted cheese and a warm bowl of soup, the Grilled Cheese Soup Combo offers something different from our salads and wraps.
More Than Salads: Other Lunch Options Worth Exploring
There's more to our menu than the three main categories.
| Menu category | What to explore |
|---|---|
| Meat-free options | Vegan Aloha Mediterranean, Vegan Mandarin Ginger, Vegan Hummus Pita Wrap |
| Keiki meals | Keiki Combo with pita sandwich, fruit, keiki drink, and organic lollipop |
| Soup | Tomato Bisque |
| Other menu items | Avocado Toast, Açaí Bowl, Dessert Toast |
| Drinks | Guava Lemonade, Kona Cold Brew Coffee, Big Island mamaki mint tea |
For guests with ingredient restrictions, it's worth checking the individual dish ingredients and asking our Kailua team about preparation before ordering. A menu item's name alone doesn't establish its allergen status.

A Kailua Lunch Spot With Local Roots
Aloha Salads started right here in Kailua in May 2006.
Since then, we've grown to six Oahu locations while keeping our focus on fresh food and supporting local suppliers.
That commitment includes locally sourced ahi supplied through Honolulu, vine-ripe tomatoes from a Hauula farm, and mamaki mint tea brewed in-store using tea sourced from Hilo.
But what makes our Kailua menu useful for an everyday lunch is the choice. You can enjoy a fruit-forward salad one day, a steak wrap the next, and a grilled cheese and soup combo when that's what you're craving.
