Everyone who worked there from checking in to the crab guy was very friendly and helpful, but Karsten our server was more than exceptional, he definitely made our evening and experience so much better than we had expected. Truly a memorable evening. Mahalo Nui Karsten for being so kind and generous helping us celebrate our anniversary. read more

If a buffet is advertised as having Korean BBQ and seafood, those are major selling points and a big reason we were looking forward to eating here. Unfortunately, for $89 per person, the food was extremely disappointing and felt very low quality for the price. There was not a single Korean dish available, which was especially frustrating given that Korean BBQ is part of what drew us to this buffet in the first place. The all-you-can-eat crab legs were really the only thing that somewhat made up for the experience. Other than that, the selection and quality did not come close to what we expected for $89. Overall, very disappointing and not worth the price. If Korean food is advertised as part of the experience, I expect there to actually be Korean food available. read more

Best crab on the island! I absolutely loved it! And you HAVE to try the strawberry ice cream with the crunchy cone--it's so good! It can get a little warm inside, so just keep in mind that it's definitely a tropical, outdoor-island kind of vibe. The atmosphere is beautiful, though! I'd recommend dressing nice and cool and avoiding long sleeves. Definitely worth the visit! Ps: Don't forget to tip your valet and your waiter! They work hard to make your experience a great one. read more

The Buffet At Hyatt - Hot crab legs, butter, and cold oysters. - Buffets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Solid buffet, especially if you're coming for the crab legs, oysters, and hand rolls. The crab legs were perfectly cooked and available both steamed and chilled, which was a nice touch. The oysters were too big for me but other people enjoyed them. The made to order hand rolls were generously filled and tasted great. The hot food selection was just okay. Nothing really stood out, and there weren't a ton of options. Unfortunately, the ice cream machine was broken during our visit, so the dessert selection was a bit disappointing. The creme brulee ended up being the highlight of the dessert station. Overall, I'd definitely come back if my goal was to eat as much crab as possible. It's a solid value, especially if you're kamaʻāina and can take advantage of their 20% off July promotion. read more

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

Definitely not as good as when they first opened. A lot of their food was not hot or up to temp just like past reviews were talking about. I think if you come to this buffet the best things will be the crab legs or the oysters. Sashimi, poke, and nigiri sushi didn't look fresh. The prime rib had a mixture of chewy and very little tender pieces. Overall we were glad at least the servers were sweet and tentative because the food was not super great. Kamaainas get discount at least but to pay $70 per person I wish the food quality and temps were better. read more

Despite what I've read here, our experience was nice. Great snow crab, plump shrimp, fresh sushi, delicious asparagus, tasty oysters; we really enjoyed just about everything. Only a few items were meh, which is subjective. Not a huge buffet. Nice setting with available outdoor seating. Service was excellent. Ridiculous price, though! read more

came here for my birthday celebration and was not satisfied.. made res at 7pm. Got here at 7pm, didn't sit until 7:20pm. there's 2 hosts at the stand, one host was helping us, the other was helping another party, our host told us to wait a minute as we were standing next to the host stand. The other host said "you're in the way, move that way". It kinda made my blood boil a little when she said that. I didn't say anything since we were there to celebrate my birthday. 2 seconds later our hosts comes back and takes us to our table, the same direction I was standing and just been told to move..... Our server an older lady, was very nice and kind. She also had a very nice smile! I complained to her about the host and she said sorry on that hosts behalf and gave us complementary drinks which was nice of her to fix the problem. As right now near 7:30pm, they don't really bring out new foods, it's just whatever is left at the stations, which I didn't care for as long as the oysters and crab legs are filled! oysters and crab legs were fresh, the others were alright, didn't care for it. The ice cream machine only had vanilla, other flavors were out that day. I loved celebrating here, but after this visit, not too sure anymore. They need to fix the hostesses attitude, fill up the hot food stations, and seat people with reservations quicker. P.S. validated self parking free 2hrs (across the street up the ramp) floors 6-9 only Paid $10? for validated valet Best time to come is 5:30pm, don't come after 7 Restaurant is on 3rd floor, 2 escalators up Uluniu St. Side read more

The Buffet at Hyatt took away the one differentiating factor of their buffet, which was that it was a Korean themed buffet with galbi, ssam, and other specialty dishes. Imagine our surprise when we arrived and saw that they had changed their theme 10 days prior without any notice and had taken away most of their specialty meat, replacing it with prime rib. The meat table was half the size and the options were sparse with no change to the price. The rest of the food was so mediocre and there was nothing we ate that stood out. The sashimi and poke were not fresh, the raw oysters were unappetizing creamy. The hot crab was good but wasn't available until near the end of our meal. The desserts were also not great and the ice cream they have in the container were all melted. Service was amazing as usual at the Hyatt Regency and was the only saving grace for the underwhelming food. All in all, this was a very disappointing experience. read more

There are two kinds of buffets. The first is where quantity is the attraction. The second is where the food convinces you to forget you're at a buffet. At over $100 a person, I expected this to be the second. We came here to celebrate Father's Day, my birthday and our anniversary. For an occasion like that, expectations are naturally a little higher. The setting is undeniably beautiful. Watching the sun set over Waikiki with live music in the background is the experience you'd hope for. If you're paying for atmosphere, this place delivers. The food was much more uneven. The sushi was surprisingly one of the strongest parts of the meal. Fresh, well made and worth going back for. I also appreciated that the shrimp cocktail was properly cleaned and cooked. Desserts across the buffet were mostly forgettable, but the complimentary anniversary/birthday cake they surprised us with was genuinely excellent and a thoughtful touch. The disappointments were unfortunately the items most people come here for. The prime rib looked beautiful but ate tougher than expected. Even the rarer slices lacked that buttery texture you hope for and the au jus was so thin it tasted more like seasoned water than a proper jus. The snow crab was the biggest letdown of the evening. It was overwhelmingly salty, to the point where the natural sweetness of the crab disappeared almost entirely. After a few legs, I simply stopped eating it. Service landed somewhere in the middle. The hosts seemed a little disorganized when we arrived and there was some confusion around our reservation. Our server was polite enough, but the experience felt transactional rather than warm. Drinks occasionally sat empty longer than they should have and for a meal at this price point, those little details start to matter. I left thinking this wasn't a bad buffet. It just wasn't a memorable one. For the money, I expected ingredients that spoke for themselves rather than a buffet built around volume. The view is wonderful. The sushi is legitimately good. But if the highlights of your buffet are supposed to be prime rib and crab, those need to be exceptional not the weakest part of the meal. I'm glad we tried it, but I don't think I'd choose it again for another celebration. 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

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

** 5/5** The Buffet at Hyatt exceeded every expectation I had. From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine aloha and made us feel welcomed throughout the entire experience. The service was attentive without ever feeling overbearing, and our drinks were always refilled before we even had to ask. The food selection was outstanding. Every station was well-stocked, beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh. From the seafood and carving station to the local favorites, salads, desserts, and everything in between, there was something for everyone. You could really tell that quality was a priority, not just quantity. One of my favorite parts was the dessert selection. Everything looked amazing, and each dessert tasted just as good as it looked. It was the perfect way to end an already incredible meal. The atmosphere was clean, relaxing, and had that classic Hawaiʻi hospitality that made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, treating family from out of town, or simply craving an amazing buffet, The Buffet at Hyatt is absolutely worth it. I'll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for one of the best buffet experiences on Oʻahu. Mahalo to the entire team for making our visit so memorable! 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

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

Nope. It was so lame. Oysters were horrible. Selection minimal. Pay extra for 100 Sails because that's one hundred times better. NGB read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
