    We stayed at this hotel, Hilton LXR Ka La'i Waikiki (formerly Trump Hotel), and wanted to check out this restaurant to use our daily $50 food and beverage credit for having a status with Hilton. Anyhoo, we knew the prices will be higher than the outside food vendors and that is to be expected at any restaurants based within a hotel. We still wanted to try their breakfast as the outdoorsy atmosphere was very pleasant. You can either opt in to get the full breakfast buffet but that was about $50 per person. We chose to order a la carte and ordered breakfast omelette and mochi pancakes. Service was friendly but slightly delayed as we were mixed in with the buffet customers. But they were very professional and friendly nonetheless. Mochi pancakes were pretty spectacular, I must say. It had a slightly chewy texture, truly mochi-like, and the combination of the Japanese influence with the American pancakes was very well done. The fruits on top of the pancakes were very fresh and the whole dish was very tasty. I want to go back just for these mochi pancakes. Omelette was also very good and the toasts were heavenly. Now, would I be willing to pay full price for this breakfast? 4 stars out of 5 is my answer.

    Shucks didn't read Yelp good enough! Check in for 15% off on your bill totally missed this. Just went to get a little side thing for the baby so got the scrambled eggs bacon and potatoes for take out and we had to wait 15 min for it and then was charged 18% gratuity for take out :/ Also the breakfast potatoes had rosemary very strong seasoning flavor for a child's breakfast. Should've checked in to save on that gratuity!

    Have a memorable breakfast experience at In- Yo Cafe the open-air restaurant with stunning ocean and city views. The chefs prepare savory egg dishes, served alongside fruits and pastries. Order your favorite coffee or sample a variety of fresh local juices. In-Yo Cafe allows for you to enjoy family-style and made-to-order options. I went with the made to order three egg omelet, which included toast and breakfast potatoes for $23. Looking forward to trying the 'Ohana Breakfast Buffet next visit!

    Check in on YELP and get 15% off, not that's going to help you at all when you get the bill...(insert maniacal laughter here). Just make sure you check your bill because the server forgot to give us the discount, NOT that it helped...(insert maniacal laughter here). We skipped the breakfast buffet because we took a "pre-buffet tour" and looked at all the foods, and it was $40 for cold items only. Not a deal by any chance. The food was just OK, wasn't spectacular or memorable, just was OK. The only cute things that I really liked were the small jars of individual jams, jellies and honey that I put in my bag...(insert maniacal laughter here). Of course, I did ask the server if it was free and he said yes. I will take all the free things I can get because spending a $126.00 here for a breakfast of 5-persons was hurtful, and the $50 a day credit you get as a Kama'aina for the Trump International didn't take the sting away. The next morning, we walked over to Duke's Waikiki for the all-you-can-eat-breakfast buffet for $23.50 a person. RETURN FACTOR: $30 for five cups of coffee. NO if I was paying. YES if you were paying.

    We were not sure what to expect for breakfast given the mixed reviews, but I'm happy to report that they are now back to serving a full breakfast buffet! Apparently they recently made the change because when I called the restaurant about a month ago, they still had the ohana option. It was absolutely fabulous and we were very impressed. Everything was so well done with the finest selections of hot foods especially. There is a whole array of different choices. Cost was $40 and don't forget to check in on Yelp for a 15% discount. Pls note they add a mandatory tip of 18% to all checks.

    Came here around 7:30am, and surprisingly had to wait about 15 mins for a table. We got the Ohana breakfast, which includes yogurt, assorted pastries, fruit, potatoes, breakfast meats, and a choice of an entree. Service was ok here - took a long time overall, and they forgot about the potatoes/meats until we asked them. The side items were all solid and nicely presented. I got the salmon benedict, which was bomb! Definitely 5/5 for this dish! Everything was perfection about the benedict. The egg was perfectly runny. The toast tasted like it had some butter on it. The dish was nicely salted, and the arugula added a nice pop of flavor. The salmon was delicious. I checked into Yelp after leaving the restaurant and sadly missed out on the 15% off deal, so definitely check in to Yelp to take advantage of the deal (if the restaurant honors it).

    Three Egg Omelet
    Riese L.

    Conveniently located in the Trump hotel right below the pool so the parking is free and it's valet. The eggs Benedict was scrumptious and a perfect portion. The three egg omelet came with ALL the fixings, they didn't make you chose only a specific amount of meat or veggies and add everything at additional costs. The buffet was kinda pricey for a breakfast buffet but it was still yummy. service was great too. Very attentive. Would go back again!

    The best part of this place was the PEOPLE- they wait staff were unbelievably friendly, kind, wonderful to talk to. They had all been with the hotel for multiple years- showing their commitment to the place. They never had a tone, were never rude, but always willing to chat, were so so friendly and kind. The food was good, not over the top amazing, but definitely good. The frittata was a bit dry, but still very tasty. They had a ton of options for different types of eaters: egg white, beef, fruit, oatmeal, etc. so you can bring any type of eater and they can find something on the menu. The seating area, table and outdoor area was very nice, very pleasant place to eat. The chairs and tables were perfect for a mid-morning breakfast / brunch. Nice and big and sturdy wood. If you're staying at the trump hotel- definitely go for a morning bite!

    Convenient if you stay at the hotel. We had breakfast here 3 days in a row as it was so convenient and we had a hungry 8 year old with us. Food is just normal breakfast stuff, coffee was good, staff are consistently friendly.

    Some food from the cold buffet
    Ashley T.

    The selection of food for the breakfast continental buffet is really great. From overnight oats to a variety of fruits to smoked salmon and prosciutto, everything is always very fresh and delicious. The sweet papaya, smoked salmon, and zucchini bread were definitely the highlights of my breakfast every morning! While the coffee is pretty mediocre, the food and other beverages they offer here are perfect for a good meal to start your day.

    Excellent service! From when we first sat down until the end. Our server Roxanne was very attentive and so kind. She assured that we had no problems with the food and always checked to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious. We got the ohana buffet and it came with yummy pastries, drinks, meats and fruits and I also got the eggs Benedict with a side of hollandaise so good!

    These stick donuts were so yummy!
    Nadia K.

    Our party of 10 was made up of 5 adults, 3 kids, and 2 crying babies which didn't make for the most relaxing breakfast buffet. But being situated outdoors, in the beautiful Trump International Hotel, we managed to enjoy a delicious breakfast. The buffet spread includes pastries and some of the best stick donuts in town, as well as a made to order omelet station. Yogurt, fresh fruits, waffles, miso soup, somen, and standard items like scrambled eggs and bacon are also on all you can eat status. You can also order items if they are not on the line that day like French toast, pancakes, breakfast meats, and oatmeal from your server. The kids loved ordering smoothies that were included in the buffet price. What really stood out to me was the service. Our servers were amazing and always on point. It made our experience outstanding. Adults are $33 and children 6 and over are $17. The breakfast buffet is served daily from 6:30-10:30am.

Out of respect for decapodas I have decided not to speak on behalf of what occurred with the crab . Ahi Poke Nachos. There are all kinds of potato chips on the plate, all the ones you see at the grocery store, if you've been wanting to sample a lot of different kinds of potato chips this would be a way to do it without over committing to a whole bag. If you have siblings you will not like the freshness of the chips because you will just inherently think your sibling left the bag open. If you were to order a chicken sandwich at Subway and they were to add three different sauces from the squirty bottles and you liked it then you should definitely order this dish. Like a 6 inch yard bird Sammy from Subway with extra hit of low fat BBQ and a drizzle of the honey mustard also hit me with the zero fat ranch. Wait can I also get a dose of that ballsamic. That's what's on the chips. If you have never in your life had fish, like you come from a place on earth with no bodies of water and zero import infrastructure yet you've enjoyed nibbling the end of your pencil, you would gravitate towards this dish. The chips and sauce do come with eraser morsels. The staff isn't pretentious or condescending or anyone that would give you snobby vibes they're very relatable super normal folks. Like you would want to be friends with them if they were friendly. They are genuinely bewildered. No other way to explain each staff member other than bewildered. All of them. Not rude. Each person employed is confused and just reallllllllly confused about a lot of things. Before we could warn our friends who were also in town, they went to 100 Sails for one of their birthdays, a work trip but trying to celebrate, ugh so sad. They made note of the birthday while making reservations and the husband mentioned it in person and ZERO mention by any staff. Zero acknowledgement. So if you really want to have a sad birthday, this would ALSO be the place.

To be fair, we feel the brunch is good, but dinner is overpriced and the portions are much too small when ordering from a set menu. We hosted a large party with 2 tables and we met with Orchids marketing 4 times on the positioning of the tables and when we arrived for the dinner the 2nd table was not close to the main one at all so we were not able to celebrate with both tables. The salad was fine, but honestly, it was a serving portion fit for a toddler. The bread was okay, not great, not freshly heated, a bit stale. The tomato bisque was too concentrated, though tasty, it should have been thinned before serving. The crouton was fine that topped it. The main entrees of seabass were tiny and dry and not enough sauce to offset the dryness --he steak was just okay, and very, very small. The proteins were not served with anything else on the plate which exaggerated the tiny portion and I heard guests laughing at the tiny portion in the middle of the large plate. Why not serve a green veggie or potato serving with the main? That is cost effective and the guest would have more food. I am a very small eater and I was appalled that the average person there would not have enough to eat. Then the coconut cake came. Tasty, but tiny, again. They cut less than half of the cake that we ordered and boxed the rest up for us to take home! Ridiculous! Should have cut bigger slices the first time. The math was easy and the guests were starving. What an extreme disappointment for almost $4000 after tax and gratuities! Come on, that is a terrible value and I suppose that is a venue tax for having a great view while dining on tiny, tiny portions. We entertain quite a lot and we will not book another dinner here as everyone had to get something to eat after the meal to fill up. I was totally embarrassed and pissed off simultaneously. Save your hard-earned money and go anywhere else and do not host a special dinner here!

We tried to wave the meat cutters by, but they serviced the other table around us and skipped right over us. However, when some of them finally made its way to us, it was good in flavor and texture. We didn't see the ribs until the end of the night. Wish we could have tried that. But it was not offered to our table. Food is good, but being misinformed about dessert, and the waiting for food and our overall bill for the little we were able to eat... I feel cheated on the experience.

The restaurant is below ground level and you can enter it from the steps to the right of the main entrance to the hotel. The view is stunning as always. Everyone from the hostess to the waiters and waitresses were all kind and helpful. We went directly to the food that was offered. They had prime roast and omelette station. There was one person working it on a Sunday so the line was quite long. Possibly two people for a weekend brunch might help more. The food wasn't anything extra nor were the selections. We were quite discouraged for what they charge and what you get. Hotel food is a lot like airline food, however it would be great to have better choices. As I said, the view is what you're paying for and the service. Kahala hotel isn't what is used to and had lost a lot of that splendor and top of the line classy feel. I didn't take any food pictures but I'm sure you can find a lot with other yelp reviews.

I see the new huge poster out front, every time I stop at the bakery next door, the family meal with 6 items sounds great, reasonable. I decided to make it easy for me with few stops to grab this for Super Bowl Sunday. I called that morning to place my order. There are no photos of the family set on Yelp so Your welcome, if you decide to order this set, Please think twice, it sounds like a great deal but not. I/my family was very disappointed. I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke!

The Spring beans were cooked just right not over cooked and the flavor was different, but very good and the pork was sliced and the taste was really good. You can bring in your own BYOB! The restroom are outside of the restaurant and shared by all the business there, sadly in the men's restroom looked like a person was living there with some clothes and a dog bed and a packages of personal belongings scattered all over the bathroom floor. They said the tell the management and custodians, but somehow cannot keep who ever is living in there even with a key system they have to use the restroom. Overall the food is great!

    9/5/2026 My nieces and nephew were visiting from California…read moreand Colorado always request to have dinner here when they're visiting family. We were seated 30 minutes after we checked in around 4pm. The Last time we dined here was 2023 and everything looked the same. Luckily we were seated by the railing with some epic views. Kristy was our server last night and she did socks and amazing job. She had this beautiful warm smile. She was friendly, knowledgeable and very sweet. Everything was amazing from start to finish. Hopefully when we come back Kristy will still be here so I can request for her. Thank you HJ and Kristy ! We will definitely be back soon !

    After walking through the Byodo-In Temple about 10 minutes away we decided to have a great dinner…read moreat Haleiwa Joe's. This location opens at 4pm and does not take any reservations but we had very little wait, 25 minutes, even arriving at 4:05pm with a line already formed. While waiting for our table we made our way down to the garden and walked around and enjoyed the turtles and fish in the little lake they have. This is a great photo opportunity. Once our table was ready we were seated and our server came over quickly to get our drink orders and any appetizers we wanted to put in. Their poke and island ceviche were delicious. They also provide complimentary bread with guava butter that was amazing. Since I was celebrating my birthday I decided to go for the prime rib that many have compared to a steak out of the prehistoric era. It was cooked perfectly and the potatoes and green beans were great sides. This will definitely be a place I return to with friends and family due to how great the service was and the beautiful view and delicious food. The best part of the night was the Liliko'i Crème Brulee. I cannot wait to go back for more.

    My first time eating at a shabu restaurant and let me say I've been missing out. This is a perfect…read morerestaurant for a group who enjoys different aspects of a hot pot. The buffet allows you to eat at your own pace and you can also order hot dishes as a side. We enjoyed the volcano and regular karaage chicken. The food quality was great and a perfect selection. Restaurant is clean and the customer service was fantastic! Between cooking the food and the upbeat music, everyone in the restaurant seemed to be enjoying themselves and I noticed that almost no one was on their phone.

    I'm torn on what to give this place, because if you show up with 2 people during a week day or a…read morelunch, you get to order up to 8 plates of raw meat at once with servers a plenty. But if you show up with 4 adults on a Saturday night when it is packed, you still can only order 8 plates of raw meat at once (akin to 6 very thin slices of meat per person) and a server you see again maybe once or twice more for the entire night. I would think it actually would make sense to me that they allow more orders to get placed at once (and just charge you extra if you don't end up eating it... like other places do) in times they are swamped, or at least up the portion per person (it makes no sense that the limit is the same for 2 people as it is for 4 people). It would have actually earned them more money tonight as we wouldn't have sat there hungry, staring forlornly at other table's plates but would have eaten quickly and left, allowing them to turn our table quickly. So yes, come here when they aren't busy.... But find another hot pot location to eat at on Saturday nights! Also don't come here if your kids are not height challenged. My 7-year old barely eats and is super skinny. But he is over 50 inches so we have to pay the full price adult cost for him.
