The Shor is located inside the Hyatt Regency (3rd floor) and it is a convenient place to eat if you're staying there. The place offers a great view of waikiki beach with seating areas that at both indoors and outdoors. I've only tried the breakfast here. I tried the loco moco, acai bowl, continental breakfast, and eggs Benedict. Everything was decently good. All the food items are what you would expect. The only noteworthy (or different) item is the loco moco. It has spam fried rice instead of just plain white rice. This makes the dish stand out from the other loco mocos I've tried. It's very good especially if you like spam! The service is good too. Everyone here is friendly and makes an effort to make your dining experience enjoyable. In summary, this is a no fuss place to come eat if you're looking for dependably decent food and a great view! read more

I normally avoid writing negative reviews but unfortunately the food was mediocre and did not meet the price point. The staff and service were great which is what the two stars are accounting for. read more

SHOR - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Don't order Buffalo chicken wings. You'll get orange buttery oil instead of hot sauce. I don't even know what I got!

Bland as all hell. So I came here night one of my stay before PCSing back to the mainland. Everything was bland and shitty. Crab sux. Oyster sux. Shrimp sux. Poke sux. Spaghetti sux. Meatballs sux. Poached fish horrible! Lobster Mac and poop. Heirloom salad sux. FREE BREAD sux. Caesar salad..... Good. Chicken something er other. Decent. Go to walmart and buy a bag if all this and enjoy it at home. Shame Shame. SHOR not because the location SHOR because it falls SHOR..T of ramen noodles EDIT: I'll bump it up to 2 stars because I did forget the staff was friendly and decently paced. read more

The lines can get really long in the AM. Check the Buffett before you order, I wasn't that impressed. The service was good which u always appreciate. I ordered the Moco Loco. The sambazon bowl is a good choice too. It's served like sievert and melts into the granola and yogurt. Ask to sit at the high tops outside, it offers the best views of the ocean. read more

Really good food, great service, nice outdoor atmosphere. Would definitely come back!

We sat outside and had a great view! The food came out very quickly and was delicious. The restaurant was very empty. read more

Breakfast was phenomenal. Price is a little high, but the Quality surpassed my expectations!!! Very Impressed!! read more

This is the worst breakfast I have ever had. Food was cold. Service was pathetic. We kept waiting for server to show. Taste was so bad that I could not eat. We were told that there is no fruit left in buffet. If you don't want to waste your morning, find better option. read more

Our waiter, Karsten, was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious - I had the pesto pasta, my brother had the swordfish (catch of the day), and my mother had the burger. We had great views of the beach, and a relaxing ambience. read more

My fiancé and I had the best experience here! We were able to make a last minute reservation online and we were sat as soon as the restaurant opened. The views were stunning and service was pretty good. We got the garlic wings (so crispy!!) pepperoni pizza and coconut shrimp. We loved all of it and would definitely come back again. Prices not too bad either and they had live music. Such a good atmosphere! read more

Great atmosphere and food. Great service. Live music at a nice volume. Nice view.....

Went here for the first time the other night. The service was outstanding. Our water glasses were never empty because the waiter catered to our needs on a constant basis. The chef came over and talked to us and gave us great suggestions about what kind of sauce pairs well with our meals. The ambiance was great, very classy, and not snobby. The food was very delectable and full of flavor. I had the seared fish of the day, which was marlin, and it came with a macadamia pesto sauce drizzled around it. The way the fish was cooked kept it moist. It was light and delicious. I also ordered a side of the kimchee fried rice. I had never had fried rice cooked that way, but it had a variety of ingredients that blended so well together. I was surprised at how big the portion was for just having it as a side dish. I could not finish it, so I took it home and had it later as a midnight snack. It was still good even out of the fridge. The dessert was great. My family and I had the cheese cake and the chocolate hopia cake. I liked the chocolate hopia personally, but both were very sweet and rich. I highly recommend coming to this restaurant and experiencing the food and the service! read more

Came here for dinner the first night of our trip. There's nothing better than an incredible view and amazing food! Jimmy was our server and he really out did himself with the best service. A big plus was the live music they had starting at 6pm!! 10/10 would reccomend shor. read more

The service was amazing! Short wait even though there were families lined up, efficient teaming, and wonderful waiters. My family had this waiter named Nathan and he is the sweetest, he truly made our experience in eating breakfast homey and comfortable. The food was fantastic, and everything was clean. I definitely recommend going here and I'm 100% coming back read more

We struggled getting reservations for a Friday night dinner. My husband found this place last minute and it was a most pleasant surprise! The food was incredible, service was awesome, and live music was fantastic. I am shocked that more people don't know of this place. Definitely a wonderful way to kick off our trip. read more

Great view and servers overpriced and bad food. Moderate experience for an overpriced meal. Ordered the steak medium rare only to receive a well done steak, added shrimp for a salad received vertically no shrimp. Very underwhelmed read more

My cousin and family chose Shor while they were visiting Honolulu for dinner. We were greeted well and staff very friendly and it was a very nice atmosphere. We met a chef from Guam, Joseph Almoguera, and he prepared a delicious spread and greeted us and it was a perfect evening! Mahalo and Si Yuus Maase! read more

Very disappointing experience. Customer service was lacking. Food was bland & vegetables were undercooked. Only one refill for iced tea. Limited menu -- expected more at a Hyatt Regency Hotel! read more

We stayed at the Hyatt for our honeymoon. We had breakfast at Shor and it was really good. The Buffett style made it well worth the cost so we could have a full, hearty breakfast read more

no stars as we did not even go in. was told we could order a pizza and wait 40 min to take it with us. cocktails were offered in cans for a to go option. for their options I could go to ABC store and buy a bottle of liquor and order my own pizza from a delivery place, read more

Ok Shor, you're up next in my s*** list of my Waikiki staycation. I'm an angry girl this Monday because tons of money was spent on my staycation and really the highlight was... well... NOT Shor. We got a coupon for a 2-for-1 breakfast buffet at Shor from the front desk when we checked in, but our friend who checked in on the same day didn't. We went back to the reception desk on Sunday morning to see if we could get another one so the four of us could go and have a nice filling breakfast before we checked out. The lady tells us that they ran out, but that we can just go to the buffet and get one there. We get there and the host tells us that there will be no problem getting another 2-for-1. Yay! We decide to sit and eat since we were saving a total of $60. What a deal! WRONG. The manager comes back to our table after we've already started eating and tells us that the coupon we have is expired and that neither of our rooms comes with the 2-for-1 deal. WTF. He called the front desk and they too cannot find where we were supposed to get the 2-for-1 coupon. It's a special package that we supposedly didn't pay for. He cannot honor it. He tells us this in the beginning of our meal, thus RUINING whatever appetite we had. In short, I found my 2-for-1 email on my phone, to which they honored after much shenanigans, and they gave us 10% off of the other two meals. STILL the tab comes out to $85+. This would not have been a big deal, BUT: -no prime rib -no crab -very limited selection $30 is regular price for this rip-off. There's no way you get your money's worth, just skip it and have a breakfast at Starbucks. This place is just as worthless as the hotel itself. We spent over $2000 at this hotel alone in TWO DAYS. You'd think they could make a customer happy and just give us the extra meal at no cost. There's no way I ate even $10 worth of food. Shor, you need to take a lesson in customer service. IS IT WORTH IT TO LOSE $2000 IN BUSINESS FOR A $30 MEAL? Thanks, I think I'll cancel our Hyatt San Francisco stay. Way to go, Shor, way to go. read more

My parents called me randomly this past Saturday and asked if we wanted to go to dinner with them... I thought the world was ending! The signs were everywhere - a crazy lady was nice to me, work was calm, and then my parents asked us to dinner in Waikiki no less! My mom called to make reservations and it wasn't really necessary but I am sure if it was later on, then probably it would be a good idea. We arrived on time for our reservation but it still took them awhile to set up (even though there were a slew of empty tables). However, they actually gave a nice table that overlooked the water. I should note that if you want to sit by the water, make sure the forecast doesn't include rain. I got sprinkled on throughout dinner, nothing too heavy but still. While we were perusing the dinner menu, the host or whoever he was, came up to us and said "oh, you need to order the lobster. Lobster oishii!" I don't know if he thought we were tourists or what (even with my haole husband in tow) but he kept telling us to order the lobster. My dad asked where the lobster was from and the guy was like "oh you know between Florida and South America and Puerto Rico." WHAT? I don't think he knew and his BS-ing was TERRIBLE. My dad was like oh so it's not fresh and the guy was like uhhh. If you don't know where the lobster is from, please don't try to pressure your customers to order it. Our actual waiter was nice and he was more knowledgeable. He told us to order the set menus, which were actually a decent price. However, don't expect anything spectacular from the salads. The ceasar lacked taste and my mom's pear/mango salad was not worth it either. So maybe only the steak and dessert were worth it in the set. I had set #1 and my mom had set #2. My mom's filet was so tiny! My husband and father both had the ribeye. They both said it was good but no Ruth Chris good. My dad also got the poke and he said it was just ok. The desserts were nothing to write home about. Our waiter gave us an extra dessert of apple pie/cobbler but it was just okay and some parts were salty because of too much cinnamon. Overall, I wouldn't come here again unless it really is the end of the world and my parents want to invite us. It was priced the same as anywhere in Waikiki for a "decent" meal but I would rather go somewhere else because the food wasn't spectacular. Come here if you want a good view of the beach but not if you want good food (or just order the ribeye). #08/31 read more

The catch of the day was marlin and it was amazing the sauce was outstanding. My wife had the steak and it was delicious also

Imagine my anxiety when I needed to make restaurant reservations for my two daughters' joint birthday dinner -- checking on Open Table for its listing of restaurants, Googling other restaurants, and cold calling even more, just a few short days before December 24, 2011, Christmas eve. Procrastination . . . . yet, in this case, my last minute efforts paid off. The food at Shor American Seafood Grill at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Waikiki was excellent. One birthday daughter (E.) ordered the filet mignon; at 7 oz., it was thick and grilled to smoky perfection. The other birthday daughter (N.) ordered the Grill Em + Fire Em locally caught monchong, with pineapple lemon salt on the side; the fish was so good that the seasoning almost seemed better suited as only a garnish. One other guest (Grandma J.) ordered the roasted monchong, with tinkerbell peppers, lemon chive potato puree, and asparagus salad; I can only assume it was divine since I heard periodic oohs and aahs from grandma's end of the table. The other two of us (C. and I) ordered the special, an opah fillet topped with two small prawns that were grilled and so sweet that they must have been amaebi, I swear; this dish was, in a word, "great." The two desserts we all shared were unique and a fine way to end our meal. We ordered the chilled mango soup with seasonal berries. The mango puree was creamy but inexplicably light, with a hint of ginger that beautifully balanced the mango's sweetness. We also tried the house-made ice cream sampler -- a trio of bacon buttered popcorn, ginger lychee, and coconut sorbetto. The consensus was that the bacon buttered popcorn ice cream was the most interesting of the three, surprisingly good despite the image the name may conjure, and that the coconut sorbetto was the best. There were only three negatives: First, the five of us were seated at a table designed for only four, so daughter N. had to position herself awkwardly at the corner between daughter E. and Grandma J. Second, the workers just could not figure out how to keep a nearby door leading to the lanai (which was closed off for the evening because of weather) from opening and shutting in synchronicity with the gusts of wind. Third, while I really cannot explain or articulate the reasons for my feelings, the employees just seemed to be trained and better suited for a hotel coffee shop (which was the previous venue in the same spot), rather than for a higher-end restaurant serving entrees in the $30-$60 range. They lacked the panache that I expected from a restaurant of this ilk. Overall, despite the three negatives, I give Shor American Seafood Grill an enthusiastic thumbs up!. read more

I dined solo here while traveling for work. While reviewing the menu a member of the staff jumped in my face insisting I order the $65 4 course lobster dinner. Clearly trying to up sell here. Fish was average and ice tea was bitter. I had to wait 15min despite the place being half empty. Won't be back! read more

Almost walked out of this one before food even arrived. This is a skip. SHOR's service was undesirable. Had reservation at 8:30 (got seated at 8:10).... Didn't get even appetizer until 9. Chicken was cold. Frankly food wasn't even as good as the to go food in the Hilton Hawaiian village market. If you are looking for good atmosphere, excellent food ... head to Dukes. Way way way WAY better. read more

I enjoyed my evening at SHOR and I gave it 3 out of 5 for various reasons. The decor follows along the lines of Shokudo. Contemporary, informal, light, airy and comfortable. The menu's description was intriguing, but the execution was hit and miss. The Tarragon Hollandaise sauce (more like a Bearnaise) was pretty insipid and didn't add any dimension to my salmon so I ended up just eating it with lemon, salt and pepper. The baby Kona abalone with garlic herb kukui nut butter was pure perfection and is a must try. The Truffle Mac N Cheese was good and bad. The cheese sauce was very rich. So rich, in fact, that it needed something like bleu cheese or sharp white cheddar crumbled on top to balance it out. Unfortunately, the mac was SERIOUSLY overcooked and I suspect it made the cheese sauce runny. But the au gratin topping was the best I've ever eaten. Fluffy as new fallen snow (I'm thinking panko and Parmesan?) and extremely tasty. I'd like the chef to make me a huge bed-sized pan of this stuff so I can lie down in it for a nap after eating my fill. I'm getting hungry just thinking of it. The Coconut Sorbetto was garnished with a thin slice of fresh coconut. It was very creamy and light with a nice mouth feel. The texture was like a velvety soft serve ice cream. I'll try the ginger lichee next time. At first I thought SHOR was pricey for the level of food served, BUT one has to remember the restaurant is on some of the most precious real estate in the world with an enviable view of the ocean, beach, sunset , fireworks, etc. And our extremely attentive waiter (Nathan) is a shining example of what visitor industry service should be like whether it is in a restaurant, front desk or limousine. read more

The Hyatt has done some fixin' up of the former Terrace Grill. They have added wood touches, nifty tables and chairs to give the space a pleasant modern and warm tone. SHOR is a chain and the menu is a little gimmicky. Categories called "Grill 'Em", "Chill Em", etc. Basically a seafood spot. You order your protein then add your choice of seasonings and sauces. Everything is ala carte. My fillet was a tad overcooked, but still flavorful and tender. My dining companion's lobster tails were fine. The Caesar, meh. We started with 6 Kuromoto oysters at $4 ea. Owie. Overall, lovely atmosphere, decent food, sometimes pricey. Service was attentive, but I got the feeling the staff were former Terrace Grill staff, not necessarily fine-dining staff, so a little clumsy at times (tho super friendly). The question... Would you go back? Yes, if in Waikiki to sit at the renovated bar or to hang with friends and have a few small plates on the terrace, enjoying the trade winds, sunsets, etc. read more

I REEEEALLY want to give this place 2 stars because our server was so amazing, and the ambiance was incredible, but I don't want to mislead anyone to coming here for the terrible food. My husband and I were staying at the same hotel this restaurant is located in (Hyatt Regency). We thought we would just hop in for a romantic dinner, but when we arrived, they said there was a 45 minute wait. Fine, this is a pretty fancy restaurant, a wait is understandable. Except when we came back and we were finally seated, half the tables were empty. Not exaggerating. I counted. HALF the tables were empty on purpose. I admit that it created a very exclusive and private atmosphere, but I would recommend you MAKE RESERVATIONS. We had the crab cake appetizer, which was very good, but I wish it had been hotter. The temperature was lukewarm bordering on cold. We also both ordered the 8oz filet mignon with loaded baked potatoes. My husband and I are from Texas, so I admit we eat steaks on the regular. So perhaps were are a bit spoiled/biased, but these were NOT filet mignon quality steaks! There was a bunch of gristle, and the steak was flat out hard to cut. The steaks were were also lukewarm, and I asked for medium, and they were cooked almost well done. The waiter heavily emphasized several times that the meat was from "grass-fed, organic, humanely grown, etc etc." cows. A lot of good that did! My husband said he kept expecting the guy from the Walmart commercial to step out and say "these were Walmart steaks!". And the baked potatoes tasted like Wendy's baked potatoes. After tax and tip the meal cost us more than all the meals we ate in the past 2 days combined! What a waste of money. Please, save your appetite and your wallets. read more

Fact about SHOR---- BEST EGGS BENEDICT IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD. Theory---- If I could start every Sunday eating SHOR's Eggs Benny, for the entire following work week I would be in such a happy mental state that I may not actually mind taking complaint calls at work--- Caller: When is this construction work gonna stop?! I want my view back!!!! Me: (singing in head 'lalalala....man SHOR's hollandaise was amazing....i wonder how they made that....') Caller: ---you know you people have no idea how to--- Me: ('mmmm and that ham!') --- you are absolutely right, sir.... 0:) Anyhow, leaving lala land, I am here to say that SHOR has all of the above brilliance, and a GREAT morning staff. It's refreshing to have Waikiki service that shares the aloha spirit with LOCALS too. Our waiter, Chris, made us feel right at home and included Kamaaina discount with our meal- an act which some restaurants will not include unless you ask. So this generous and thoughtful gesture was much appreciated, in addition to all other considerations Chris had provided us. Moreover, SHOR has a beautiful location out there on a balcony with the sun shining above and fresh ocean breeze. I would happily come here for breakfast for all of the above. read more

Great food and nice service. You can watch the sunrise while having breakfast. Good vibe!

Standard hot buffet with the eggs, omelette station, potatoes, blah blah. I was very excited for three reasons: 1) tofu in the salad bar 2) kimchee in the salad bar 3) miso soup My mother never liked taking me to buffets as a child because I never ate the value of what was paid "rice costs pennies and that's what you decide to eat?"...Regardless, I loved these vegetarian options and would definitely go back. read more

I read reviews that service was slow. I thought maybe it had improved....nope. Some food items are good; baked abalone, fried oysters, Kaua'i shrimp, ribs. But there were just a lot of amateur errors. Steak in a hot dish that makes cutting difficult. Sundae in a deep bowl that you can't scoop out of. Some food not good; steak with no seasoning, opah just so-so, chocolate tart that was pretty much 100% bitter sweet chocolate only. Dinner was a 2.5 hour affair... Due to long waits. read more

While the view is alright, the food selection doesn't match their website. Also, their hostess was extremely rude. The server was decent and the food was alright but for the price, there are way better places in walking distance!! read more

Still ridiculous for brunch, so I only went once this trip and ordered a la carte off the menu. The service was improved and the oatmeal is better off the menu with flax seeds, walnuts, pecans, dried bananas, raisin's and more than off of the buffet. Coffee is ok and the guava juice was good. read more

Mediocre food , service was good though so I gave 3 stars. The fried rice and the hash brown were amazing ! Other stuff just so average. Bacon was too dry , fruits not sweet, French toast omg what a disaster probably the worst French toast I ever tasted: bread pudding was ok, miso was flavorless. Overall quality 1 star , gave 2 more stars for the fried rice and service . If you are hungry for breakfast just go grab a warm Mitsubi from the ABC store and it'll taste better than this. read more

Restaurants are always coming and going in Waikiki and we always get excited to try the new hotspots. This place seemed perfect - steak and seafood (yes, I know, how many steak and seafood places can there be on one street), but the fun part, you pick your seasoning and your sauce! Shor is located on the 3rd floor of the Hyatt, directly across from the beach. We were greeted by the hostess, who took us to a table on the lanai. The restaurant is open-air with a few tables inside. There was a parade outside, so we asked to be moved a little farther back. There were quite a few tables open, so the hostess told us to pick a table! We chose one just inside. We checked out the menu and a few minutes later a server ran by and said she'd be right with us. She seemed to have tables all over the lanai. When she returned a few minutes later she said "What can I get for you?" Being in the service industry as long as I have, I understand not getting any pleasantries at McDonald's, or any fast food joint... but this place is $40+ a person. After our cocktails came, we decided that we would start with appetizers and see how things went... We ordered the 1/2 lb of steamed crab legs ($22) and 6 oysters on the half shell ($4 a pop). After we ordered the apps, the server brought us some bread and butter. It was a round loaf, and it was delicious! The apps were good, but we decided to call it a night. The server started to warm up a bit, but the opening really put a sour taste in our mouths. I know we are haole in Waikiki but I was wearing two leis (not your average plumeria leis) and she didn't ask if we were celebrating anything (which we were). I understand being busy... I understand having a crazy section... but the restaurant wasn't busy. We will try again in the future... Hopefully once they have time to iron out the details of being a new restaurant. read more

I was very excited to come to this restaurant because of an article that was published in the Sunday paper which highlighted the use of sustainable ingredients. I made a reservation for two for dinner. When we arrived (after circling the area due to sparse parking availability) we were greeted and escorted to an open table that was at the center of the restaurant. I noticed there were about three different types of seating class: casual area by the entry (ambiance like a food court), open dining area (where the ceiling height was high), and dining at the deck area (which had the best seats in the house). There was an area quartered off due to a private event, sO I am not completely certain how large the restaurant was and how many other types of seating class there could have been. The server was very knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly. He made some great recommendations and the food was amazing. We had the coconut shrimp appetizer, the watermelon tomato salad, the kauai shrimp pasta, and the fish catch of the day. All or most of the ingredients were sourced locally and super fresh. The only downside about the food was the pricing but then again... the restaurant IS located at the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki... so maybe that's normal. As long as you get lucky with a good server and get a good table, I think you'll be satisfied with your experience here. I'd give it 5 stars, but the entry into the restaurant needs a little more thought and planning. read more
