You will spend more than the average to eat here, but I believe you get more than just the food/drink, you get the atmosphere as well. One thing I will say that not too many people know about, is that they have a kids menu! Every choice on there is $10 each. When I do end up bringing my babies on Bible study nights, I order them the sausage, eggs, and rice plate or the nuggets. Portions are great, enough to feed an adult, let alone a child. On average for a date, you'd pay about $80-$100 total depending what you order. But it's worth it and it's not an everyday thing. Also check out the shaved ice and ice cream! I haven't tried it just yet, but I heard it's pretty good.

Their Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad is my absolute go-to every single time--so fresh and consistently delicious. If you're craving something heartier, the Wagyu Burger is another absolute must-have. To wash it all down, they have a wide array of coffee and teas, but you have to try their Vintage Kona Mocha--it's amazing. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that all of it can get pretty pricey, and it definitely gets super busy and crowded on the weekends. But for the flavor and drink selection, it's still worth the wait!

Great breakfast joint with so much to choose from. We were up early each day and ate mostly in our rental. The one breakfast we had to have was eggs'n things. We got there around 8 and put ourselves on waitlist. It took about a 10 minute wait to sit inside. Service was super friendly and helpful from start to finish. The food was excellent. The pancakes are as good as I remember. There is a decent amount of seating inside and out. I'm sure it gets busy but come early and you'll be fine.

First time here and loving the aloha vibes. Located in Kapolei and lots of locals come here…read more Awesome services, very friendly, and my order came out quick. When you walk in you will be greeted by the cashiers. Menu is on a screen. You order first, pay, and the cashier will give you table number if you are dine-in. Kinda reminds me of Carl's Jr or Conner Bakery. I order a small Ice Coffee coffee of the day was Kona and a Tomato Jam Sammie. The sandwich came pretty quickly, the briche was toasted, overeasy egg, cheese topped with arugula and tomato jam which had a BBQ flavor. Their prices are reasonable for a cafe style and the food are made fresh. So it's a good experience if you are in Kapolei area. This is a good size cafe with options to sit indoors or outdoors. I sat at the outdoor bar area because there's 3 TVs up. Perfect for me to watch the World Cup Spain vs Belgium. I definitely would come back to try out their lunch menu.

Much better fit for ordinary local business people.

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.

Outstanding Food, Vibes, and Live Music!…read more ​Had an amazing dinner experience at Mahi'ai Table last night with two friends! We specifically came out to support our friend who was the musical talent providing the live entertainment from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. ​Our reservation was at 5:30 PM, and the vibe was so good that we stayed all the way until 9:00 PM. Because we arrived during the last 30 minutes of happy hour, we immediately ordered a major spread of pupus from the Pau Hana menu. We shared the lechon style brussel sprouts, hand-cut fries, steamed shrimp & pork won tons, scallion bread, and fish tacos. Every single bite was delicious. I paired the food with a Hana Koa Roof Top Pale Ale from their local drafts list, which was crisp and excellent. ​After happy hour wrapped up, I moved on to the dinner menu and ordered the Half Pound House Burger and fries for my entree. The burger was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. ​Overall, the food and ambiance were absolutely outstanding, and the service was prompt, attentive, and friendly from start to finish. The noise level was perfectly moderate, letting us enjoy both the live music and our own conversation. We had a great time and will absolutely be back!

Underrated local dinner spot…read more The entry to this restaurant is so easy to miss because it's so narrow and it blends in so well with everything. I don't know if they want to keep it hidden, but I guess you could consider it that. We went in on a Saturday night with reservations and I highly recommend it since the place was full when we went in and more people kept wanting to come and eat. Service was great from beginning to end, I especially love that everyone accommodated my stroller and my baby. There were four of us and we each got something different, but to start I highly suggest the steamed shrimp and pork wontons and the lechon style Brussels - I would've double-ordered those for my entree if I could have! For entrees we ordered the garlic noodles, misoyaki butterfish, seared catch-of-the-day, and the burger. They were all amazing, and after we all started letting each other try we started making our own "flights" because everything just hit different spots and flavor profiles. In summary, this is one of those places that doesn't care about aesthetics, the decor is casual, but the food is soooo ono. They focus all their energy on food and service, and that makes a winner winner chicken dinner in my book.

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.

Disclaimer: I have a high quality preference for coffee…read more The coffee was overpriced and unfortunately made. Watery, no texture, no flavor from the beans at all. The pastries were ok.

Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

The loco moco was excellent, made with a wagyu patty, comes with a lot of gravy and perfectly cooked eggs exactly as I ordered and some pickled cucumber. My friend said the fish and chips were really good as well. My other friend said the chicken karaage was ok but felt it had too much breading on it. The staff was amazing, service was quick, drinks were kept full and everyone was extremely friendly. The ambiance is what I expect for a restaurant at a golf course. The restrooms are outside of the restaurant but also service the golf course and they have two entrances and exits for easy access by everyone. Everything was very clean and the staff was proactive in ensuring everything was clean prior to serving. I thought the food and staff was really good, I will definitely be coming back next time I play a round.

We were seated by the window, where we enjoyed a stunning view of the golf course. The service was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, and the food truly exceeded our expectations. Compliments to Chef Meghan for an exceptional dining experience. I ordered the Japanese breakfast, which featured misoyaki butterfish, steamed rice, tamagoyaki, and an assortment of sides. Every component was perfectly prepared and full of flavor. My guests ordered the French toast with breakfast sides. One of them chose it because it reminded her of the French toast she enjoyed at her wedding, which was held at this very restaurant this past February. It brought back wonderful memories and made the experience even more meaningful. Overall, everything--from the atmosphere and service to the outstanding cuisine--made for an exceptional brunch. We can't wait to return!
