Came here for our 8 Year Anniversary and it was Amazing!!! We were deciding to do a steakhouse or Buffet and i'm so glad we did the buffet instead. $89.99pp is on the higher side but it has all the spread. As you can see from all the pictures everything was high quality and had all kinds of Assortment. FOOD: High Quality Ingredients, from cold, hot, desserts, sides, and even toppings! My favorites were the oysters, steamed and hot crab legs, Marinated Kalbi, and Tobikko Temaki (Hand-roll) I went around 3 times grabbing all the good stuff!! even my wife that doesn't eat much kept up with me! Props to the chefs and the establishment for having a good variety and upkeeping the quality. SERVICE: It was on a slower night so had many open tables. Came in at 5:30 with a reservation and got sat right away. Hostesses were very friendly and informative about the restaurant. If I had any questions, they would answer confidently. Our server was also amazing, came with waters, took our drink order, cleaned our tables many times (sorry, we're messy eaters). renewed utensils as needed, water glass was always full, and had small talk with us as well too. He also timed our dinner perfectly to bring out an anniversary cake for us when we started on desserts. 5/5 for service it was our first time here and i'm already trying to find another occasion so I can come back here!

They have a salad bar, dessert bar, Ice cream, chocolate fountain Beautiful casual location overlooking the Waikiki Beach... indoor or outdoor seating. We love the buffet. read more

From answering the phone with a bad attitude, bad service, bad environment, food only prime rib n crab is good. The 2 or 3 hosts in the front. Don't know a thing about customer service. Talking loudly amongst themselves, but loud enough to where it was hard to enjoy meal. We had pile our used plates, for them to notice. Had to walk in n out the restaurant area to get to buffet line. Sushi, don't eat it, Lechon skin hard as a rock. The prime rib guy complain to me a customer, about work. Crab guy practically tossing the crab legs on the plate. Had to ask a few times for water to be filled. 9 of us, paying over 100 each. Service, food, n environment just didn't match up. Was more important for them to pack food for each other. While we're still eating. No class! I did tip them more than what they deserved.....sad read more

Made an easy online reservation last minute for our anniversary and had the absolute best time! We were greeted by a friendly hostess and sat ocean side with the most beautiful view! Our waitress, Pam was so sweet and attentive and made our night so special! (Thank you, Pam)!! The food was great for a buffet in my opinion! They had a great selection of good quality seafood. For $90/person you really do want to get your moneys worth and between the crab legs, oysters, prime rib and assortment of fresh fish you do!! read more

We spent my birthday meal here and I was so ecstatic! First, this place gets really crowded really fast. I strongly recommend making a reservation. Second, the options are more limited but the quality of the food is really good especially if you are here for seafood and meat. The vibe is nice too - more intimate with smaller tables. Not much of a group setting but great for couples. My favorites: Snow Crab!!!!: it was so fresh and succulent. You can grab a cracker and a tool to take it out but honestly it comes out super easily. It was perfect with butter but honestly didn't even need it because it was so juicy. Would go again to eat crab. Galbi: Freshly grilled and perfectly marinated! The smell is always wafting throughout the hotel because of the open air atmosphere but it was so good. Galbi in Hawaii tends to be sweeter than what I'm used ot but you can't beat freshly grilled galbi. Sashimi/Sushi/Poke: All were good! Not my favorites of the night was still good. The sashimi was the best part, the sushi and poke were just okay. Honestly, I loved these 3 items so much that I would love to come back just for them! read more

Easily one of the best buffets I've ever been to. Everything was incredibly fresh and clearly top quality, from the appetizers to the main dishes and desserts. Nothing felt like it had been sitting out too long--every item tasted like it had just been prepared. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want a buffet that actually lives up to the hype. Service was really fast. read more

The buffet is a little bit hard to find. It's located in the Hyatt but all the way towards the top and top the back so it can be confusing. I had to ask someone for directions to get there. If you plan on coming make sure to make reservations otherwise you may not be able to get in. I didn't have one but told them I'm willing to sit at the bar, luckily she said she had a table but it was right at the front by the podium. I didn't mind. At first it doesn't look that big but they have several areas they can seat people. It was loud but not too noisy. I was seated right across a group visiting from Japan so it was entertaining to watch them drink and eat. My server was really nice, addressed me by my first name and came by often. I made sure to tip him well. There are several stations to get food from so you'll have to walk to different places. The roast and cutting station is closer to where you check in, seafood, sushi, and crab kind of near it, then you have the cold buffet area and a separate salad, fruit, and dessert area. The quality of the food and seafood was really good. I will totally come back. Really good deal of you get da discount. read more

Been there about 4 times and the food, the service and ambience is good. They refilled or beverages often, very friendly and efficient waiters, took our empty plates often. The family enjoyed the crab legs galore! We always have a great time there. Lots of variety of foods. So no complaints! read more

Omg love this place! Came here for me and my bf's anniversary and my mom's birthday recently. If you reserve online there's a cancellation fee. I can't remember how much it is but I think it's around $35 if you don't show up. I haven't tried walking in but I'm sure you can. It's never really packed. I love the food choices, you have Hawaiian food, Korean food, seafood, crab legs, oysters and even a self serve ice cream spot. They also have a hand roll station! I'm not too big on crab legs but for anyone that loves that, this is definitely the spot! If you're celebrating something they do provide a cake or something that says happy birthday/anniversary! Which is really sweet of them. The waiters are super sweet and kind. The first time we went, our waiter had a German accent and he was amazing! The second time we went, our waiter took our picture and even set up the scene for us which is so awesome. It's partly outdoor and indoor, and I love the outdoor seating area because it's more of a vibe. It can be warm so dress lightly. I would say super casual is the dress code. But my family likes to dress up for special occasions. Parking can be an issue. When my bf and I came, we self parked and it was an adventure to find the place. When we came for my mom's birthday, it was a weekday so there was a line for valet, self park was full and we were scared we were running late so my bf stayed with the car until they were able to valet. So plan ahead if you're going to do that. 10/10 recommend and would definitely come back! read more

We had such a wonderful experience. The food was exceptional and our server, Jun, was so attentive. We went to celebrate my birthday and because we made note of that on our reservations they had a WONDERFUL table with the best view of Waikiki Beach for us. In addition to the celebratory slice of cake they gave (so good!), Jun himself gifted me a beverage to say "Happy Birthday"! So nice of him and I was so appreciative! We can't wait for another reason to celebrate and go again! The 20% discount for Kamaina was great, and they validate self parking for up to 2 hours! They also validate vallet parking for $15. So don't forget to ask for both. read more

First and foremost, I want to preempt my review by stating the staff were very helpful and friendly. With that said, here is my review of the rest of my experience. The ambiance is stunning with a beach view. The sunset was spectacular. Now, on to the food. They have prime rib, snow crab, and oysters on the half shell as the stars. The prime rib was good, cooked well with horseradish and au jous available. Oysters were fresh and tasty with a vinegar sauce available. Now, for the major disappointment, The crab were large and looked good. One bite, and I felt like I bit in to a Himalayan salt block. It was so salty to the point of being inedible. The sides were just ok. They also had Korean short ribs which were tender, but, tasted like they had been marinated for a week. Salty and way over seasoned. My wife and I were very unimpressed. Finally, the cost...2 adults, 1 adult beverage for my wife came up to $200! Outrageous! I tipped our waitress $40 as it really wasn't her fault and she was very attentive and friendly. $250 bucks for 2? Never again. Avoid this place at all costs! read more

The Buffet At Hyatt - The sunset from the buffet. - Buffets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Service and food is great. $89.99 is on the cheaper end off Buffets on Oahu that include crab legs nowadays!!! Every other buffet is $100+ and Hyatt actually gives a generous Kamaaina discount 20% off. The only downside is it is outdoor seating so it can get Hot depending on you, but besides that NO complaints here. read more

On a whim, I came to The Buffet at the Hyatt for a weekday dinner with friends and I'm so glad we did -- I already want to come back with my family! We didn't make a reservation, but luckily we were able to get seated around 5:30pm. We got a table outside and had the best view of the ocean and all of the surfers as the sun setted. Good food, amazing views-- what else can you ask for?! Oh yeah, a Kamaina discount that's 25% off when you show your Hawai'i ID! To start off they have all the heavy hitters: snow crab, prime rib, hand rolls, nigiri, sashimi and all the fixings! They also have some Korean favorites like kalbi, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimchi and all the banchan! Don't miss out on island favorites like laulau, lomi salmon, and I really loved the kanpachi they had served whole. For the crab, they have all the tools and even put a bucket on your table to put the crab legs and/or oyster shells. Pro tip: you can get a spicy ahi and salmon skin combo hand roll! I added some crab meat to that hand roll and it was my favorite bite of the night! Service is great- they are always coming around to pick up finished dishes and filling up water / drinks. I even saw our server standing guard over the table next to us since the people had left their food unattended and birds were planning their attack haha. read more

I want to emphasize that the service is top notch!! The seats are by the beach so I can watch the sunset, which is awesome! However the reason I gave them 1 star is because the food is overpriced and disappointing. For the price, I expect it to live up to the expectations. The fish is too fishy and I could not bear to finish the portion. The prime rib is just okay-ish but the sauce that comes with it is decent. The kimchi was too salty and did not taste like kimchi at all, very disappointing! The grilled vegetables are cold and have such thick cut; the mushrooms are super chewy I just ended up swallowing them instead. The hot dishes are not even hot, they're just warm; by the time I get to my table the food is already cold. The galbi short rib was so hard to chew. The crab leg is a hit or miss, some too salty some is sweet. The dessert, I could not find myself taking a second bite. Overall, it is just alright, definitely not worth the price! read more

The Buffet At Hyatt - The view - Buffets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Saw a lot of mixed reviews for this buffet but wanted to try it out to see for myself. We just booked a reservation ahead of time and it was super easy to check-in. I'd say that the food was all decent if you're paying the kama'aina price (~$60 per person), especially if you eat a ton of the expensive food. However, I feel like if you're a tourist paying the full price, I can see that it would feel super overpriced for what you're getting. I personally wouldn't pay ~$80 for it either. My personal favorites were the rosé tteokbokki dish at the Korean station and the crème brûlée. I'm not a huge fan of crab legs, but I tried some and they were actually pretty good. At least when we went, they weren't too salty at all which I saw a few people complain about in other reviews. The oysters were also delicious and I loved that they had a big bucket of mignonette for them too. One disappointing thing though is that drinks are an additional charge. For $60/$80 per person, drinks should be included. Overall, not sure if I'll be back anytime soon but definitely worth checking out at least once I feel like. For parking there's a self park option or you can pay for valet. When we went, self-park was full so we had to do valet but they ended up just giving us valet for free which was nice of them. read more

The Buffet At Hyatt - Buffets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came here for an early Father's Day dinner. We were seated outside with the view of Waikīkī Beach. While the view was beautiful during sunset. There were a lot of birds trying to feed our fed the scrap. Whenever some left their table unattended to get more food the birds would flock the table. -Food selection was pretty good. Kalbi, fish with ponzu, and the seafood chowder were my favorite. -Liked that they had a selection of nigiri and hand rolls to choose from. -Prime rib was good, only down side was more than half of it was fat. -Crab legs were on the salty side. -I was expecting more salad options. -Lots of dessert options. Loved the crème brûlée. They even had different topping for the soft serve. Wait staff was very nice. They were moving all over the place keeping up with the rush. Our server made sure our drinks were never empty. Free parking with validation. 25% off Kamaaina. Overall not bad. read more

This review was for the Thanksgiving lunch buffet. We aren't turkey or ham people, and being that there is just hubs and me, we opt for AYCE buffets which include crablegs and prime rib. All the other sides are just fluff if there is crab and prime rib for the taking. We've done other AYCE buffets and decided to give this one a try. The way The Buffet did it was you reserve your seating time, and everyone who was scheduled for that time waits in line to be checked in. (Side note: parking is crazy if you self park, some very tight corners and people in rental cars trying to navigate the tight turns--when in doubt, valet!) The line for the 1:30 seating was quite long, snaking around the corner and we were finally seated around 1:45 ish. We were seated facing the beach, which was quite lovely, but also in the full sun even though there was an umbrella above us, it only shaded part of the table. There was also a live musician, which was nice. Our drink orders were taken and we went to work. Round 1 for each of us included warm snow crab and sashimi. There was a server giving out the seafood, so it was a rather small portion, but it's AYCE, so I don't mind coming back for more. Round two was a repeat of round one and the server brought us a bucket for the shells. Hubs went for his prime rib and he looked grumpy as he sat his plate down. When I asked him what's up, he pointed at the prime rib and said "it's well done and they peeled off the part with the crust". He attempted to try a few pieces with the horseraddish and au jus. He was not a happy camper. I decided I wanted to see if maybe he just got a junk piece. I asked the carver if there was any medium rare pieces and he pointed to the meat and said "not anymore" the prime rib actually looked like roast beef, which was quite disappointing. I ended my meal with some sweets and some soft serve, and hubs was still not happy. I would possibly return for their normal service, as I understand the buffet is quite different. As for a special meal like Thanksgiving, I will likely find another location. read more

Date night done right. We don't usually do buffets like this, our usual go-to is the hometown spot with $16.95 all-you-can-eat, MSG-infused comfort food. But for date night, we dressed up and went for it at The Buffet at the Hyatt... and wow. That was seriously good. Like, we don't normally eat like this kind of good. Highlights? All-you-can-eat snow crab legs, oysters, shrimp, and prime rib? Yes, please. But the real stars for me were the fresh poke (ahi tuna) and the sushi that was super fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. And let's talk desserts. They had an amazing chocolate fountain with all the fixings for fondue: strawberries, brownies, marshmallows, the works. The tiramisu slices were soft, rich, and on point. But the real winner? The haupia. Creamy, coconutty, and absolutely divine. We kept going back for more. Easily our favorite dessert of the night. While reviews online have been mixed, we left completely satisfied and happily full. The ocean view was stunning, and our server was incredibly attentive: plates gone, water topped off, no fuss. Would I return? No doubt about it. Might even bring the extended family next time! read more

Located at the Hyatt Regency in Waikiki. This place is one of the more popular buffet places in town. Once you walk in, you're greeted with friendly staff and a beautiful set up. There's inside and outside seating with a really great setting. The buffet is full of local and Asian specialties. Sushi made fresh. A carving station. And everyone's favorite, snow crab legs. There's something for everyone. Fresh fruits and salads and delectable desserts. Waiters were super friendly and attentive. Price is expensive. You better prepare to come here. And come hungry. lol. It's great for the special occasion. Keep an eye out for kamaaina special discounts. read more

Unlimited crab legs, yes please! read more

Thanksgiving Buffet at The Hyatt - A Feast Worth Coming Back For After having such an all right experience here on Mother's Day, I had to come back and see what the Thanksgiving Buffet was all about--and wow, it did not disappoint. The spread was massive, and choosing what to try first was the hardest part. The seafood section was the star of the show. The crab legs were sweet and meaty, The seafood Chowder is the starter the sushi was fresh, and the salmon was unforgettable. Honestly, I could've stayed in that section alone and left happy. But then came the Korean station--such a fun surprise. The kalbi was tender and flavorful, the Korean rice and corn were delicious, and the bulgogi was so good I went back for seconds. Of course, Thanksgiving wouldn't be complete without the main event: the turkey. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and served with all the classic fixings. It felt like a true holiday feast. And just when I thought I couldn't eat another bite, the dessert table called my name. Cakes, cookies, ice cream--pure sweetness and the perfect ending to an already amazing meal. Overall, The Hyatt delivered another memorable buffet experience. So many choices, great flavors, and definitely worth coming back for. And not let us not forget JUN and Eugene for making this day unforgettable Marie read more

I came here with my partner on Monday night for a late birthday celebration. I called the hotel and was told that luckily, there was a 2-hour complimentary self parking (with validation) or a $15 validation valet fee. The parking is across the street from the main Hyatt hotel. Upon arrival, the hostess told us that they were a bit busy so we would need to be seated outside by the live performance (separated by a makeshift wall but we can audibly hear it). We didn't mind that and also mentioned that we were Kamaaina (25% discount). We were seated, then me and my partner got started right away. They have a decent variety of things: Station 1: - Sashimi, Limu Poke, Crab, Shrimp Cocktail, Oysters - All good ! Station 2: - Prime Rib, Potatoes, Kalbi, Bulgogi, Ttekbokki, and Sides (Radish, Kimchi, Lettuce) - All recommend, especially the Tteokbokku and Kalbi for me. Station 3: (Plenty of things but i'll mention the things i tried): - White rice, Fried rice, Hawaiian Chowder, Bao Buns, Carbonara, Vegetables, Lau lau, Sautéed Shrimp and Clams, Fried chicken - Everything above was good as well, although, the chowder was a lot of potatoes and the carbonara's noodles type was not up to my liking (hard to eat). My favorite was defiantly the sautéed shrimp and clams. Station 4: - Soft serve (mochi, red bean, and chocolate for toppings), chocolate fountain with honey dew, strawberry, brownies, and spongecake, baked brie, tiramisu, panne cotta, honey dew coconut roll, chocolate cake? - Everything was good, but the brownies were very clearly old, most of the desserts fell a bit short. - I also saw a roach run across the table where everything was, probably not the most appealing thing to see. Honestly the food was decent, nothing crazy but nothing to complain too much about. However, I personally heavily disliked the seating arrangement. We were seated outside which I didn't mind at first, but once the sun started to set it was incredibly dark. My partner said it felt like we were hiding or something. For about 30-40minutes of our meal, we were just sitting in the dark and very minor drizzling would start and end. Another thing was our table was shaky. We got that fixed once bringing that to our waiters attentions. Towards the very end of our meal our waiter did finally offer for us to move, we did as the rain started to become a bit more intrusive, but we were pretty much almost done. I'm on the fence on coming back as it wasn't an awful experience but spending majority of the meal in the dark and light rain didn't help. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect, but for the price they're charging, I definitely had a high expectation. I saw the menu and everything sounded great. Crab legs, kbbq, prime rib. The reality though was the selection was pretty limited. And I understand that seafood is expensive and they had crab legs, raw oysters, cocktail shrimp. But $84 was reeeally expensive. The other items were pretty basic, salad options, a hot cooked section. And I understand I would never eat my money's worth of food ever, but at least the Vegas buffets had fancy desserts and a ton more options of food. This was probably the smallest selection I've ever seen. Service was normal, nothing extraordinary. And we came after it was dark so the view wasn't a point. So all in all, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. read more

We made a reservation for Sunday evening. We checked in with the hostess and waited a bit to be seated. We were seated inside and our server came to introduced himself. We decided to order soft drinks which were not included in the dinner price. Also, no free refills :(. Besides that, they had pretty good selections of food to choose from. There is a sushi station, cold seafood station, hot food station, Korean station, salad bar and dessert bar. Most items that I got were pretty good. Some were meh. Our server, Jun was amazing. Very attentive, patient, friendly. We were going to leave at 7:45pm but he told us there will be a firework show at 8:30pm and that he could seat us outside if we would like to watch it. While we were outside waiting for the firework show to begin, Jun offered us water and towels since it was chilly. read more

I recently dined at the buffet at the Hyatt Regency, and while my first visit this time had a couple of service issues, I have to say the way it was handled afterward completely changed my experience. Jessica from Food & Beverage went above and beyond to make things right. She truly listened, responded with care and professionalism, and made us feel genuinely valued as guests. Because of her, we decided to return and I'm so glad we did. Our follow-up visit was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The service was warm and welcoming, and everything ran smoothly. The ambience was beautiful and relaxing, with a great atmosphere that made the evening feel special and enjoyable for everyone. A special thank you to Nova, our hostess, who greeted us so warmly, Phong, our waiter, who was attentive and friendly throughout the evening, and Shane, the manager on duty, who came to our table to personally check in and make sure we were doing okay. Their kindness and professionalism truly stood out. Jessica even surprised me with a birthday cake, which was such a thoughtful and special touch. It really meant a lot to me and my family. Jessica's appreciation for her kamaʻāina guests is something that truly stands out, and it's what keeps people coming back. The value is excellent, the price is more than fair for the quality of the food and the overall experience. It's rare to see someone take feedback and turn it into such a positive experience. Jessica is incredible at what she does, and she's a big reason we'll definitely be back. My family had a wonderful time, and we're already planning another visit when my sister and nieces come in June. Mahalo to Jessica and the entire team for such a memorable experience! read more

Lesson learned ...never anyone's word , and he should have just comp'd us that meal ! Until this day won't go back and will not recommend to anyone. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration. The parking structure is a pain in the ass. Drove up to 10th floor in circles just to find parking in a parking structure. The food was alright. Limited selections on sashimi and sushi. The oysters were really juicy and the prime rib was good. It was not impressive for the price. The parking structure def made it unworthy for the visit. read more

The food is delicious, they have crab hot or cold,we realized you have to ask for the hot crab. All types of seafood and a variety of vegetables from salads to hot veggies. Prime rib is fabulous. This is our spot for family gatherings as they accommodate all of us. Locals get a kamaaina discount and seniors get discounts too. Service is fabulous and are there to please. Ambiance is nice with views of the beach. We valet for $15 as its much easier but get there early as it does fill up. If not you can park in the parking structure across the street. Overall this place is great and well worth the money. read more

Too expensive for the food they provide. However the view of the restaurant was good in the morning.

Pretty good buffet, just that its outdoors (maybe something tourist like, but it was hot), a little hard to find, and parking is just weird for this hotel since its across the street. Food was pretty good and the price was excellent. Bartenders made some pretty good drinks. Would certainly come back as it is a good buffet for the price compared to a lot of others. I even like that they offer both hot or cold crab legs. Would definitely come back again. read more

We had the chance to try The Buffet at Hyatt this weekend for our Friendsmas dinner. Reservations can easily be made through the website. Highly recommend parking with the valet when you arrive, which is $15. You can look for parking in the garage or elsewhere but save yourself the trouble and park with the valet. Now on to the food. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't "OMG Amazing!" either. They had a small selection of different dishes: prime rib, oysters, crab legs, poke, tteokbokki, kalbi, Korean chicken, Alfredo pasta, sushi bar, mixed veggies, a banchan bar, and a dessert bar. I think my favorite out of everything was the tteokbokki. The Korean chicken was a bit dry. The banchan selection was pretty decent. The desserts were just ok, nothing really stood out. We all left stuffed but not satisfied. If you're looking for top quality dishes and more variety, I'm afraid this isn't the place. The layout of the restaurant was a bit weird too. It was quite a walk from our table out on the lanai to the buffet area. And the prime rib section was next to the hostess stand. So it was kinda shame walking in front of all the hungry people waiting to be seated to get some prime rib. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, the food could be better. Our server kept our plates cleared off the table and our waters full. If you're Kamaaina you get 20% off your bill. read more

Love love this buffet. Definitely my favorite and for the price with Kamaaina Discount can't go wrong. No joke me and my husband ate here 3 times within the past month since the deal was soo good to pass up. Sushi, sweet crab legs, raw oysters and prime rib, yess pls!!! We valet our car at the hyatt hotel and it comes out to $15. I do recommend placing a reservation bc I've seen walk ins be having to wait way longer than expected. It super easy to reserve online and then they seat you right away. If you can catch the sunset view it's definitely sets the date night mood and beautiful way to end the night. It can get a bit loud since certain nights they have a private luau performance nearby but it doesn't bother us at all. read more

The Buffet At Hyatt - Complimentary dessert for our anniversary - Buffets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Last night on the island and my birthday. Didn't want to go out and just stay in hotel and eat. I decided on the buffet as it accommodated all our palettes. Husband enjoys seafood, Son loves Asian food and for me I'm easy had me at prime rib. The fresh seafood bar was great husband got his moneys worth eating fresh oysters and sashimi. He said for a buffet he was surprised how fresh it was. Do avoid the section where they do the rolls(across from bar). I think because the area was hot seems my son said rolls and wrap was not good. The prime rib was amazingly tender my son ate his moneys worth there too and I agree. The buffet is more Korean and did have luau food too. I gave place only 4 star as I wish the had more dessert variety and tropical fruit too also area where food is being served is in open hot area. Anyone technically can grab food and not know it. Other than that it's actually a savings even though it's $85 per person. Then again Waikiki is expensive to eat. Shout out to our server! He brought out a nice dessert for my birthday candle and all. I opt out of the birthday song! Didn't want to draw attention. read more
