I came for breakfast, so this is strictly a breakfast review…read more The inside of this place is on the dark side, so I opted to sit outside where there was a breeze, but also light. On the inside that's in front of where they cook the food had an odd, distasteful smell. Sitting outside was perfect for me--no smell, light, and a breeze. The outside is covered with a net, but the birds know how to maneuver and find the entry points to get in. The food is served quickly so there wasn't much of a wait time to receive my food and the pricing of the food was actually pretty good compared to other places in the area.

SIGN ME UP! Hands down, this is the way to go if you're looking for the most bang for your buck. 4 appetizers for 40 dollars...by the second order of appetizers, we were all full! Popcorn Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp, Ahi Tuna Tataki, Hibachi Steak, Hibachi Chicken, ShoreFyre Fries, Loaded Fries, Tropical Shrimp Ceviche, or Fried Brussel Sprouts. Between my fiance, myself, and my two teenagers, we were able to sample literally everything from the happy hour sampler menu. We enjoyed it all! This is a great place for happy hour with very attentive staff. Thanks for the fun times, Paige and Chad!

After a long flight, my family and I were able to put our luggage down in our hotel room, and we…read morewent downstairs and came to this restaurant. We ordered off their dinner menu, they have some fusion mixtures of pastas and Hawaiian dishes. My sister and I shared the ribs for two. It was more like ribs for 3 It came with a side of vegetables, and a bowl of french fries. For tip and taxes we paid about $50. We had even enough to take back to our hotel room. And we ate it on the beach the next day. This restaurants in a great location at the Hale Koa hotel. This hotel is a great spot for military and service members. The restaurants are open for non guests as well.

The ambiance is casual with indoor and outdoor seating. The menu has nice selections from short rib and ribs to pastas. They offer a kids menu too with spaghetti and chicken strips. I ordered the Maine lobster and shrimp pasta. The chunks of lobster were rubbery. The white wine sauce was lacking flavor. It would be better with more garlic or lemon like a scampi. The alcoholic beverages are pretty cheap though! The mango flow was a spin on a pina colada for $10. Nice presentation. Not very strong but sweet and creamy. The food is average tasting and the prices of the entrees is a bit high for the flavors, portions, and ambiance. However, go on a Friday and enjoy the fireworks after Nextdoor.

We always enjoy our visits--the food is delicious, the service is amazing, and the staff always treats us so well. The restaurant can get busy, but reservations are available through the OpenTable app, which makes planning ahead easy. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a nice bar area. We have children, and they always enjoy their meals as well--especially our picky 7-year-old eater, which says a lot! It's wonderful finding a place where the whole family can enjoy a great dinner together. We're already looking forward to our next visit next year!

We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village this past April for Spring Break and we ate at this…read morerestaurant a few times and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SPOT for Dinner (see review) and for Breakfast (see review) Service: The Service all three times we went (twice for breakfast and once for dinner) was GREAT. Ambiance: It is clean and very nice inside and it overlooks the lobby/driveway at the heart of the property. BREAKFAST ========== I took my two sons here for breakfast and it was a very satisfying and TASTY experience. Here is what we ordered: * Loco Moco: My younger son loves Loco Mocos and his was a nice size and it was tasty (he finished it); I had a bite and I agreed with him. * Two Eggs/Bacon: My older son got the basic breakfast - two eggs scrambled with bacon and toast and he thought it was good. * Veggie Omelette: I got the veggie omelette and it was delicious and I had it with the potatoes. I would recommend this for the veggie lovers and for those like me who don't like meat with their eggs. DINNER ======== The four of us went here for dinner on one of our last evenings and I have to say it was AWESOME Italian food. * Pasta Alfredo: My older son (who is a picky eater) got this and he enjoyed it. The portion was huge so he couldn't finish it. * Spaghetti and Meatballs: My younger son (who is NOT a picky eater) got this and loved it...but the portion was huge and couldn't finish it. * Caprese salad: My wife and I shared this and it was a good size to share. * Rigattoni Aranciatta: My wife and I shared this thankfully and we finished it between the two of us. Sorry no photos for dinner. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this spot for breakfast and/or dinner. My only comment that is negative is that for breakfast it is PRICEY!

I was tempted to walk out, but decided to give it a chance. The pizzas looked good and I didn't want to go searching for another pizza joint. Not sure if the pizzas were made fresh, but they took a slice of the Hawaiian slice placing it into the oven. The portion wasn't worth $10, but I was hungry. When I took my first bite, it didn't hit the spot. It didn't taste anything like a Hawaiian pizza. So sad because my cravings weren't fully met. I just finished it to not waste food.

OMG I wish we had discovered this place earlier in the week!!…read more Deli is located inside an ABC store (my daughter wanted to walk into every ABC...good thing she did or we wouldn't have found this!)

For $15, you get a fresh pineapple halfway hollowed out and filled with a delicious smoothie. While the smoothie itself isn't a huge portion, it was one of the best I've ever had. It was refreshing, perfectly whipped, incredibly flavorful, and exactly what you want on a warm Waikīkī day. The best part? The pineapple itself! It was perfectly ripe, sweet, and juicy. I took the leftover pineapple "cup" back to our Airbnb, cut it up, and ended up with plenty of delicious pineapple to enjoy the next day. It honestly felt like getting two treats in one. At $15, it may seem pricey at first, but I'd absolutely order it again because it was that good. My biggest recommendation: don't throw away the pineapple! Take it with you and salvage as much of the fruit as possible. Even your garbage will smell nice for days.

HI. We had friends who raved highly for this place. Just…read morehappened to be at that end of Waikiki on the 4th. To our disappointment, the person taking the orders was not friendly and did not understand what I was asking. Asked to have the hot dogs extra charred which did not happen. I waited exceptionally long for order and a garlic fries. The wait was over 45 min but during this time, others who ordered after me were getting their meals. After asking, the ordered arrived. The hot dogs were not extra charred, actually not charred at all. The garlic fries were literally sitting in pool of oil which made them soggy and horrible. (no photo-too disgusting looking to post here) Very disappointed in the entire experience. Would have given a 0 but that is not possible. On a positive note, there was a girl who was doing all the menial work and was a very friendly and engaging worker - unlike the others. will not recommend.
