There's a short wait to be seated but it moves fast. They get your name and number and then text you. The Ono Kalbi Breakfast Plate with eggs and potatoes was amazing. Tender big chunks of boneless Kalbi. Nicely seasoned breakfast potatoes. The side order of country fried steak with gravy was great. The flight of 3 different kinds of pancakes was fine. I swapped the Lilikoi for the Malasada topping. The other 2 were the default Cookie Butter and the Taro-Haupia. None of them particularly wowed me. I saw somebodyb else order the actual Malasada Pancake and it looked to have a nice sear to it or something. Maybe I'll only get that next time. There was plenty of Kalbi to steal from my wife's plate lol.

This review is for their sunday brunch buffet. Reservations…read moreare a must. I wasn't able to book it directly through their site but if you call in sometimes they have additional availability that isn't bookable online. There are so many options here. The best part for me is the poke bar. The fish is so fresh. Although i'd skip the oysters and crab legs as the crab legs were tooo salty and the oysters weren't very sweet. The lobster however was great! The view from the restaurant is of the pool so it could be a bit loud but aren't all buffets? Included with the dining is a parking validation for 4 hours. You can walk around the beach area after which is nice !

The July 2026 version of La Hiki's lunch buffet was, sadly, a disappointing experience. At $135 per…read moreperson, here's the good and the bad so you can decide for yourself if it's worth the splurge. The GOOD: unlimited steamed lobster, snow crab, fresh poke, oysters, decent service, and lovely live music. The BAD/AVERAGE: - We were told that some of their ceiling fans weren't working so it gets pretty hot if you're seated by the pool/live music area. Our table also rocked back and forth throughout the meal. It's starting to feel outdated. -There were flies around some of food -The prime rib was the driest/overcooked I've ever had at a buffet, and the lechon was mostly dry as well with some parts were hard crispy. -Compared to previous visits, there was no sashimi station or steamed dim sum, which was a huge disappointment, especially since they had already done away with the pan-grilled lobster. -For the cooked/hot dishes, there were egg foo yung, stir fried veggies, one chicken dish, one lamb dish, and noe pasta. Also were average taste, and just very limited options compared to other brunch/lunch buffets! -There was also a whole cooked fish sitting on the opposite side of the buffet, away from the seafood station, with no label at all. It was completely untouched the entire time we were there, which honestly said a lot. -The ramen bar is a cool concept, but the broths don't taste good and had odd topping choices. -The dessert selection felt limited, and the vanilla ice cream had a strange texture that fell apart instead of being creamy. What frustrates us the most is that the price continues to increase (3-4 times), yet nothing really stood out or added to justify it. If anything, it feels like there are fewer options than before. We've been coming here since the good old days too and it's apparent that it's not as amazing as before. The unlimited lobster is really the only thing that sets this buffet apart, and while I understand you won't find that at most other buffets, it's still hard to justify $135 per person for the overall experience we had. We won't be coming back.

Had to check out the cafe inside the 4 Seasons because they have Cold Brew and we wanted to try…read moresomething other than Starbucks. This cafe is best to enter through the lobby (if you're not a guest there) The staff is nice and at 7am, there's not really a line so I would suggest going early. They have your usual selection of drinks and definitely a little pricier than Starbucks but I think it's convenient if you're staying at any of the hotels at the KoOlina Bay. The main thing to note about this cafe is the ambiance. 10/10 views and it's so relaxing and calming just sitting on the chairs that overlook the ocean.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

We came at 7am which was so nice because it wasn't crowded. We got some extra time with Mickey Mouse in the beginning and since it wasn't crowded, the characters visited our table 2-3 times. The food was great too! We loved the donuts, omelets, lox and bagels, and gluten free minnie mouse waffles! They were SO kind in having gluten free options (gluten free waffles, fruit, gluten free muffins). The gluten free food was delicious. We all loved our food and we really had a great time! Beautiful view and environment too! Dinner- This was absolutely the best dinner we had during our trip. It's a 3 course meal and you get to choose off of the menu. I got the corn chowder, prime rib, and pineapple dessert. My date got the tomato soup, seared ahi, and pineapple dessert. All of the food was amazingggg! We also LOVED our drinks we ordered. We ordered an old fashioned and then our sweet server had the bar whip me up a custom drink! Both were so good! For both meals, the service was amaaaazing! They are so kind and go over and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. They constituently checked in with us, gave us great recommendations, and got us everything we needed. I wish I remembered the name of our waiter at dinner, he was absolutely amazing! *Dinner does not include characters* I would give our experience for both breakfast and dinner a 100/10!

Fun fact: The waitress told me on my last visit that the owners actually live on the Big Island and they have a location in Keaau too! Love that they're spreading the aloha.

I told the cashier I wanted to substitute but she recommended I just do the eggs and potatoes a la carte as it's cheaper and I don't have to buy food I can't eat. You order at the cashier and then sit outside and wait for your food. Since it's outdoor seating there are dozens of wild birds on the tables looking to get some crumbs. There are signs that say not to feed them but plenty of people do and as a result, they never leave. After a few minutes I received a huge portion of potatoes and eggs. The potatoes were seasoned well and tasted freshly made. It definitely wasn't frozen but chopped and fried locally. The eggs were okay, nothing to write home about but with the right amount of salt, pepper, and hot sauce I found them pretty good. I ended up not finishing the eggs because of how large the portions were. I ended up getting a chocolate croissant to go which was delicious. I would have eaten them all week if they weren't $8.
