If you're craving line-caught, straight-from-the-market fish, Paia Fish Market Waikiki is perfect!…read moreWe stumbled upon this place while exploring Waikiki, and it turned out to be exactly what we were hoping for--a spot where the seafood is fresh and cooked to perfection. The place was totally packed with locals and visitors alike, which is always the ultimate green flag. I ordered the Fresh Catch plate with Charbroiled Ahi Tuna paired with rice and potatoes, while my husband went with the Blackened Snapper. Both plates were huge, super satisfying, and hit every single flavor note. Choosing what to get from the menu was tough because everything looked incredible--the sashimi display was calling my name, but we were way too full to add anything else! The servers were super sweet, knowledgeable, and helped guide our choices effortlessly. Easily one of the most satisfying seafood meals of our trip!

Traveled to Hawaii recently and one of our couple friends invited us to this place! I'm really glad…read morewe got to try the food because it was probably the most reasonably-priced meal with excellent quality, and it was seafood! My friend and her husband got seafood burgers (didn't get a chance to photograph their food), my husband got the salmon burger and I got the seafood salad which you can pick from Mahi or Ono fish and it came with pieces of shrimp. The service was simple and quick; our food came out at a decent time. And the ambiance was bright, well-lit, appeared to be clean. We were so busy catching up with each other that all I can remember was that it was great food with great company. Next time we are in Hawaii, we will for sure be back! Thanks to Paia staff. They were friendly and helped with questions I had about the menu. Mahalo!

My friend and I really liked it. We also got the açaí bowl with passion fruit which was delicious but a tiny bit too sweet for us. They have seating out front and it's a super casual spot.

Our favorite coffee spot in Hawaii! We arrived at 7:30am and the line was already out the door…read more Thankfully the service was speedy. Here are our favorite recommendations: - Pandan Iced Latte: omg! This drink is da bomb. It was so good I came back the next day to order it. lol - Liliko'i Moana Bowl açaí is a must. We ordered a small and it was large enough to share. - Ube bagel with Ube cream cheese. Wow sooo good! Perfect with our coffee. - Hawaiian Honey Latte is perfect. Not too sweet but a perfect strong balance, I learned hawaiian honey is darker and more complex than regular honey so it's less one-note sweet and more layered. So good! It gets pretty crowded early on so I'd recommend arriving when they open or after 9 am. The ambiance is busy but there is plenty of available seating outside and around the edges near the balcony.

We came upon Heavenly elevated entrance and its interesting seating and decor. I was joined by my wife, our son & his girlfriend as we as my wife's intern & her boyfriend for a group of six.

Of course given our University of Hawai'i at Mānoa seniors were of drinking age, we all showed our IDs and ordered creative cocktails. We ordered the guacamole & chips, Garlic shrimp, Fish tacos, loco Moco, cheese burger, Poke bowl and other beautiful dishes. Highly recommend Heavenly!

Conveniently located near Duke's, there's one outdoor table nearby, but really, just pick up a sandwich and take it to the beach! Staff was very friendly. Plenty of options for sandwiches and salads (and maybe more options, just what I noticed). I got the tuna sandwich and added a slice of pepper jack. I said no mayo or mustard, though I'd probably recommend mayo. There are so many veggies that it needs a little sauce. The veggies make you feel like you're eating something super healthy! There wasn't a ton of tuna in the sandwich, but half was filling enough for me. I'll save the rest for tomorrow.

So delicious, I had to go twice!…read more It's not a Hawaii/Oahu trip without some delicious poke! I really wanted to hit up foodland. But since I didn't have a car and I didn't feel like walking one mile to foodland, i decided to walk around and check out the closer spots. And there i saw it. A poke spot that had a short line going inside. Hopped on Yelp to see what people said and... Looks like i found my poke spot! I got a Large Special Rainbow - comes with tuna, salmon, and bluefin, white rice, the rainbow sauce (spicy mayo and teriyaki mix), and cucumber and seaweed salad. So fresh and so flavorful. Highly recommend. Washed it down with a hawaiian sun. Price: $24.73. Worth it! Service: Friendly. They'll have your food out in no time. Pretty narrow spot. After you're done ordering, you wait on the side for them to call your number. And there are a couple tables and chairs right outside their store, and an eating area just around the corner. But like i said.. had to get it twice. So good! I miss it already. Will I be back? Oh heck yes! I'm still thinking about that poke bowl. I'll see you when I visit Maguro Spot!

Food is great and reasonably priced and served in good portions too. Because many other Waikiki restaurants would jack the prices up simply because they could, the fact Deck's price points are lower than the most and the quality is better than the most is awesome. Highly recommend it.

The background music was not so loud that you had to shout at each other, but it was windy and lots of people in and outside the pool. So that was noisy, but the volume was just right . Looking forward to going back!

Was just walking around and happened to walk inside of Duke's Lane. And there I see it... A sign that says Prime Rib. Well.. That sounds bomb! Looks like I have my restaurant and what I'm going to eat. So once dinner time hit, I head over to Basalt! The Prime Rib was delicious. Perfectly cooked and tender. It comes with mashed potatoes, vegetable medley, and creamy horseradish and au jus sauce. Ah everything was delicious! I finished it all! Washed it down with a Basalt Mai Tai! For dessert - I got the Mochi Brownie. Mmm.. Mmm.. So good! Also got hooked up with a scoop of vanilla gelato! (Make this a thing! Lol). I was stuffed and had to get some steps in before heading back to the hotel. Lol. Service - Really good and friendly. I sat at the bar and Mykah (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) was awesome and gave some good recommendations. Price $45 for the prime rib. Can't beat that! Will I be back? Oh heck yes! See you when I see you Basalt!

PICTURED 01. citrus-cured salmon toast: country bread, lemon-cream cheese, scrambled eggs, capers, red onions, chives, waipoli mixed greens ($22) if i could eat this for breakfast every day, i could envision becoming a morning person. i loved how the citrus and capers brightened every savory bite. the bread was perfectly toasted and the vegetables were wonderfully crisp. 02. crab cake benedict: english muffin, kale, two poached waialua eggs, hollandaise, yuzu kosho honey mustard, sidewinder potatoes ($28) this was a refreshing take on a classic breakfast item. the crab cake and potatoes were salted just right! 03. charcoal buttermilk pancakes: guava strawberry sauce, ash whipped cream, berries ($20) these pancakes were a DREAM: fluffy and accompanied by sauce that was not too sweet!

It felt a little cramped, and you could hear the neighboring parties conversations quite clearly. After a while though, getting into our own conversation, it didn't bother me. Our hostess, I wish o remembered her name, was fantastic! Petite young lady with blonde hair and she wore glasses. She checked in with us as soon as the last member of our party arrived, and gave us the appropriate amount of time to look through the menu. She even came by to let us know she was going on a break and pointed out who was going to temporarily take care of us. I ordered their version of a high-ball and it was delicious! My friend had an oat milk latte that he drank in no time! My other friend had another coffee drink that she also enjoyed. Their coffee drinks are really delicious. For pupus we ordered their fries topped with poke and their original açaí bowl. The poke was fresh, and the fires cooked perfectly! It was sooo good! Island Vintage is also known for their açaí bowls, and they did not disappoint. So refreshing, and not too sweet. Ours came in a huge cappuccino cup and we split it amongst 3 people.
