Let's just start by saying I ate lunch here, then went back for dinner. That's how good it was!! I got the loco moco. I recommend asking for potato salad (delicious) and ask for extra gravy (they do not charge for it). The rice is yummy, burger is HUGE, and gravy was perfect I also got the fish tacos. They were average. I wouldn't get those there. I might try the shrimp tacos next time. A lot of people were getting those. Follow the locals, they know what's good. Get the Pineapple Smoothie. Nothing better in Hawaii. You drink it right out of the pineapple just like in the movies. read more

Fast service Steak was not cut against the grain therefore it was very chewy. Couldn't eat it. Shrimp (large, tail on) smothered in a sauce that wasn't very flavorful. Room temp Rice was not cooked through. Was nutty. Cold Corn was corn. Nothing added. Cold Potato salad was okay The ribs were oven baked, tender, meaty and well spiced with bbq sauce The pineapple smoothie looked delicious. It tasted of pineapple smoothly blended with no other ingredients. It wasn't cold. Room temp. read more

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant as soon as we landed in Hawaii, but unfortunately, the service was extremely disappointing. We came around 1:00 PM on Sunday, and the woman taking our order was very rude and impatient. Her attitude made us feel completely unwelcome. I really don't understand why a restaurant would allow this kind of customer service. While we were standing off to the side waiting for our food, she even told us to move outside and wait under the hot sun. Other customers nearby were also commenting that it felt like this place only cared about takeout orders and didn't seem to care much about the experience of customers who were actually there. I hope the owner sees this review and takes the service issue seriously. We were excited to come here, especially right after arriving in Hawaii, but the experience was very disappointing. read more

First come first serve. Got seated right away. Located in a small shopping strip. Food was cheap and very good. Crispy shrimp. Well seasoned rice. read more

Craved garlic shrimp and not quite Giovanni's but hit the spot. The tuna pole was decent, servers friendly and the pigeons are a bit aggressive. More of a place to pick up food and take to the beach. Convenient location in Hilton Hawaiian Village. read more

What's better than eating by the beach? Eating some delicious garlic shrimp next to the beach would be a great answer! Blue water shrimp is right there and is an excellent choice if you're staying in the Hawaiian village. They have a variety of combo plates, but we got what they're known for, and weren't disappointed! There's a space outside the shop for quick eats, or you can simply walk 5 mins towards the beach. Service was great and food came out quick :) read more

Walked right up and ordered food and were given a table immediately. The bbq chicken plate was amazing with a pineapple salsa on top! BBQ ribs were equally as delicious. Slice of pineapple on the plate was fresh and sweet! Portions were big and we ended up bringing home leftovers which is always a plus. Nice outdoor seating in the shopping center which was nice and cozy. read more

Found a true hidden gem. The menu offers a great variety of Hawaiian dishes, and we were in the mood for a burger. Hands down, it was the best burger we've had in Hawaii. I can't wait to try their loco moco and steak garlic shrimp next time. This place is such a vibe. Fresh pineapples everywhere, friendly smiles, and shaded outdoor seating tucked away in the alley behind the Hilton. Service was excellent. We ordered at the counter and assumed it was self-serve, but once we sat down they brought water and silverware, and our food was delivered straight to our table. We'll absolutely be back. This is now a must-visit every time we come to Hawaii. read more

After traveling all day, my son and I didn't feel like venturing too far out of our hotel or driving anywhere for dinner. I wanted seafood and saw that Blue Water Shrimp was in the village just steps from our hotel. The restaurant was super busy and all the tables were taken, so we decided to get takeout. We were greeted as soon as we got to the counter and ordered the grilled mahi mahi, $25 from the gluten-free menu for me and the BBQ pork ribs, $24 for my son. We walked around the village while waiting for the food. Our buzzer buzzed in about 15-20 minutes alerting us that our food was ready. We took our food and headed back to our hotel. We were pleasantly surprised by the portions. They were a good size, especially for the prices. Even though they were to-go, the presentation was still nice. My son enjoyed his pork ribs, they seemed to fall off the bone. My grilled mahi mahi tasted fresh, but lacked flavor. I still are every bit of it, though. Both of our entrees came with a side of rice and small salad. read more

BWS is conveniently located inside Hawaiian Village where we are staying. Ordered online, picked up in about 20 min. One order of Opakpaka-- overcooked the delicate pink snapper...had perfectly cooked ones in Merrimans, so dried out not even sure if it's opakapaka fish? $1 for tiny 1/2 filled tartar sauce. Hubs had the Brazilian lobster tail-- he said it's not rubbery or chewy. Better stick with a more forgiving thicker fish filet like mahi-mahi or salmon. The shrimps look ok too. Their pineapple and coconut drinks are on most tables...we'll dine on site next time. read more

the fish and chips and ahi were delicious!! the lady handling the tables for dine in was stellar! staff was friendly.

Stopped by on Wednesday mid afternoon after a long morning of swimming and was starving! My sister found this place on Yelp and it was a 20 minute walk from where we were staying. This restaurant is tucked away in such a cute little village -esque area which adds to the charm. There is seating outdoors but BE WARNED. THE BIRDS ARE CRAZY RUTHLESS. While enjoying my meal, I was ducking and dodging so many birds flying around the tables. The storefront is where you order your meal and then a staff member will walk everything over to your table. My family ordered the ahi tuna, loco moco, seafood platter, calamari appetizer, and bbq chicken. Each meal comes with a scoop of rice, green salad and corn. My little sister enjoyed her bbq chicken with a side of salad and it looked really juicy. The loco moco was on the drier side while the seafood platter offered a decent variety of different seafoods which my mom really enjoyed. The calamari appetizer was perfectly breaded and we all loved it! I enjoyed the ahi tuna but I wish there was more flavor to the fish. The fish was nicely cooked and a paired well with the rice and salad. Since we walked to this restaurant, I didn't get a chance to see where parking was but I assume hotel parking is used for this establishment. read more

BWS is conveniently located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village. We got the garlic shrimp to share. Each plate comes with corn, rice, and salad. The corn really tastes like canned corn... However, the shrimp is pretty good. Garlicy and creamy/buttery. Service is really quick, they take your order at the counter and then will find you a seat. Taking one star off as I feel like the menu prices are quite steep... I think our place was close to $30 after tax and tip which is a lot. Their pineapple fruit and smoothies look super tasty but also run $10-15 which is kinda a lot. All good though, great option if you're staying in the village. read more

Cute lunch place in the Hilton. It's a bit Byzantine and hard to find but worth it. The fish and chips were the best we had. After you order they seat you at one of the outdoor tables. Great place for a break after swimming in one of the very nice pools here. read more

Blue Water Shrimp was our first stop after landing in Hawaii. Originally we were going to eat here, but it was packed so we opted for to go. No biggie since our hotel, Hilton Hawaiian Village, was walking distance. We ordered the coconut shrimp, scallops, and BBQ chicken (kids meal). All the food hit the spot. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the rice paired really well with the main courses. We devoured everything and our stomachs were very happy that night. read more

A local recommended Blue Water Shrimp to us for dinner, and I'm so glad they did! We ended up eating here TWICE during our stay in Oʻahu because we loved it that much! The garlic shrimp was definitely a favorite so flavorful and buttery, and the plate came with rice, corn, and salad. We also tried the coconut shrimp, which was crispy with just the right amount of sweetness, and the surf & turf, which was another hit. Everything we tried was delicious, the portions were filling, and it was such an easy, casual place to grab a really good meal after a long day of exploring the island. You know a place is good when you're on vacation with SO many restaurants to choose from and you still decide to go back a second time! Definitely one of our favorite food stops from our Oʻahu trip and a place we would absolutely eat at again. read more

A great place for a casual lunch with great seafood options. It's a must place for my family and I when we visit Waikiki. The service is efficient and they have a few tables. We normally take it to go and enjoy it by the beach. Truly a hidden gem. read more

Blue Water Shrimp - Fresh coconut, and sitting area - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Food: very large portions, prices are very low for the quality and taste. I got the poke raw tuna, and the amount of tuna in that plate was shocking. I finished the rice, salad AND corn before the tuna, incredible. The only thing is their pineapple smoothie costs $18, which IMO is not worth it, getting the $8 pineapple slices is better. Service and Ambiance: food comes reasonably fast. With an outdoor designated seating area, the staff will get you a table upon ordering, but finding seats can be harder with long queues. On sunny days umbrellas won't have full coverage on some tables. overall 100% justified. 5/5 score read more

Great spot in Waikiki! We were staying at the Hilton and decided to come here for dinner on the first night of our stay. It was super busy but we were able to get a table without waiting. (You need to order first, then their staff will bring you to a table. If there aren't any tables available they have you wait on the side until one becomes available.) Ordering was quick and I would say the food came out relatively quick as well. We were all pleasantly surprised at the portions and quality of the food for the price we paid! I got the Surf and Turf, and everything was delicious! Meat was cooked perfectly and the garlic shrimp was SO good - large pieces too! We actually ended up eating here again on a Friday after the fireworks. I got the Surf and Turf again, but my husband got the BBQ Pork Ribs to-go. Once again, the ribs were a huge portion and were pretty much fall-off-the-bone tender. This is definitely a must try if you're in the area! read more

Blue Water Shrimp was our first stop after a grueling 8 hour flight, and I am happy to say that we 100% choose the right restaurant to bring us back to life. I'd never had Hawaiian food prior to this and authetic or not - this place was DELICIOUS. UGH. So good. It's not fancy or high-end, but the humble ingredients boast of color, aroma, and most importantly: flavor. Just look at the dishes - they are beautiful and taste just as good as they look. In the spirit of being on vacation in Hawaii, of course we had to order pineapple smoothies as well. They literally carve out a pineapple, blend the meat and serve it back in the pinepple. Another nail on the head. Super refreshing, very sweet, all natural. This restarant was also conveniently located on our hotel grounds: the Hilton Hawaii Village. Check, check, check. This was a great way to start off our vaction and remains one of my favorite restaurants we made it to on Oahu. read more

Stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village where this restaurant is located, and it was a great find to get seafood for a very fair price. It's a fast casual establishment, where you order at the counter and they bring it out to you. Very cozy spot with outdoor tables for you to enjoy your food, and the food is fresh and delicious! I got the surf and turf was not disappointed. Their service is also great and flexible--a friend changed his side from salad to fries, and they did it without an issue (also not a listed option as a side either!) They also have fresh coconut as a drink! read more

My friend and I had just arrived in Waikiki, Honolulu, and had been looking for some good food to start out our vacation. We didn't stray far since we were looking to check-in to our room, and thankfully we found this cute spot within the Hilton Hawaiian Village. This place featured pictures of all their dishes, which I always appreciate. Better yet, the service was very fast, fresh and friendly. I went with the BBQ chicken and it was absolutely delicious. the chicken itself was so flavorful and left me wanting more. My friend ordered the Loco Moco, of which he also enjoyed, but had remarked that it needed more sauce on it. Other than that, loved the outdoor space, but who wouldn't when your out on a tropical island. Definitely recommend if you're wanting some quick, local flavor. read more

This little outdoor restaurant is hidden inside the outside shopping area of the Hilton. All tables are outside but they have umbrellas to keep you away from the sun. The service was great. The cashier and waiters were friendly and the food came out quick! We ordered the Mahi mahi, salmon, loco moco, and the sirloin steak with shrimp. All of us loved our food! Especially the steak and mahi mahi, they were very flavorful. The pineapple smoothie was also 10/10! read more

Blue Water Shrimp became one of our favorite casual spots. We ended up getting meals to go several times during our stay, and both the garlic shrimp and fried fish were consistently delicious. One of the things I'll miss most is grabbing food to go and eating it on the beach while enjoying the ocean views. Simple, fresh, flavorful, and exactly the kind of meal that makes a Hawaii vacation special. read more

We grabbed food from here several times during our stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village. Loved our it was literally steps from our tower so the food was still piping hot even after taking it up to our room. All the fish entrees were soo tasty. My fav was the fish and chips. The fish was soo tender and juicy. The Mahi Mahi was was really flavorful and tender. I would stay away from the ribs. That wasn't as tender as we had hoped. They have fresh whole pineapples, cut daily that were insanely sweet and delicious. We ate so many of them during our stay. read more

A true hidden gem! We make it a point to visit every time we're in Hawaii. It's always busy, which speaks to its popularity, but the food and generous portion sizes make it well worth the wait.

The food was good. The garlic shrimp had no flavor, not sure why garlic shrimp is such a big thing in Oahu, but none that we ate was good including this place. The fish tacos were on the dry side. The service is great, very nice group. The seating is not bad, however be prepared to get attacked by pidgeons constantly. read more

Located within the Hilton Hawaiian Village, casual dining. Order at the counter, and find a table or take your food to go with you. The tables fill quickly for lunch and dinner, and you can order online through their website to avoid the line at the counter. We have been here several times (due to convenience during an extended stay at the Hilton) and have tried just about everything on the menu. The Mahi Mahi is my favorite! The sauce is rich and buttery with capers, and pairs well as a nice dressing for the mixed greens and corn on the plate. Four stars instead of five due to the hospitality, or lack there of. Servers are not the most kind, but service is quick. read more

Blue Water Shrimp - Grilled Mahi Mahi with lemon butter caper sauce, mixed greens, corn, and rice- excellent! Ribeye steak in the back- just okay, very fatty. - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mahi-mahi was overcooked and not well seasoned. Shrimp was ok as well as potato salad.

The food and service was amazing. Server/staff, asked if we were going to order and he was able to get us 2 tables together to seat 7. This spot you order and pay at the register, and they bring the food to you. Food was delicious, our group ordered steak sirloin, BBQ hawaiian chicken, poke, and garlic shrimp. All the items were yummy and we had a wonderful time. They also gave us unlimited water. but they also had bottled drinks and coconuts and pineapple to order from. Would definitely recommend. read more

This restaurant was an instant hit. Tucked away in a small area of the resort, but impossible to miss because of the incredible aromas coming from the kitchen. Between my fiancé and me, we tried about nine different menu items, and every dish impressed us. The Hawaiian BBQ chicken was hands down the standout dish, and the snapper filet was absolutely amazing. The banana bread is a must-try. The staff was knowledgeable, courteous, and welcoming throughout the entire experience. Melanie was nothing short of a superstar -- kind, respectful, and incredibly informative about the restaurant and menu. Easily one of the best servers we have ever had. We will definitely be returning, not only for the restaurant but to see Melanie again as well. Great job, Blue Water & Melanie! read more
