“The staff are wonderful and my twins 👯‍♀️ got to order pizzas to bake at home 🏠 it made them really happy“

“Husband & I was very pleased with our waitress. Wished I knew her name. It’s our 1st time eating here & she recommended some plates. I had left overs so I signaled her for a box & she came back laughing because I looked like I was doing “baby shark”. She made my day & I will not signal baby shark again at any restaurants. **sigh** Anywho… We will go back to try other plates. Yummy food, Awesome service & perfect atmosphere!!“

“Sunset Lanai ia a great bar with an awrsomr view. They have a really nice bar area and outdoor patio that overlooks pearl harbor. The bar tender was very friendly and prompt. The wings were great, just crispy enough. The fries were really good, seasoned well, and crispy to perfection. Defineftly would go back.

This place is on post.“

“We have been to Senia before and it is always a great experience. The four of us pick several snacks from the top of the menu and fill in with various sides. We have never been disappointed and this time we tried the Roasted Bone Marrow, what a treat! Josh, our waiter said we would pick this every time we come back and he is right! We also loved the mushroom and cheese tarts with the gruyere foam and mushroom powder. There was a discussion about another order but, we had several more dishes coming. Kabocha Squash Agnolotti is a must for the many flavors. Yikes everything was great!“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“I stopped in at Yard House and ordered the small chicken salad along with a side of sweet potato fries. The “small” salad was actually quite generous in size — fresh, well-prepared, and flavorful enough to feel like a full meal on its own. It had a good balance of ingredients, with the chicken cooked just right and served in a way that felt both hearty and light.

The sweet potato fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and they came with a maple syrup dip. That was a first for me, but it turned out to be a pleasant surprise — the sweetness of the syrup paired nicely with the savory fries and gave them a unique flavor profile compared to the usual ketchup or aioli.

Service was another highlight. The staff was friendly, attentive without being overbearing, and seemed genuinely welcoming, which made the overall experience more enjoyable.

The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable enough for conversation, with the upbeat energy you’d expect from Yard House. It feels like a great spot whether you’re there for a casual bite, watching a game, or meeting with friends.

Overall Impression:
Good food, unique touches like the maple syrup dip, and excellent service make Yard House a solid choice. I’d definitely come back to try more menu items.“

“This place is seriously the best for breakfast. The service is so friendly, and the whole restaurant is spotless. I love the chill vibe; it's perfect for a relaxing morning. And the food? Absolutely amazing! I highly recommend checking it out. Plus, there are no birds and insects.“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Lovely people work there!“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“Amazing dinner and friendly staff from bar to dining room! Our must every time we visit Oahu!“

“Good food and staff Great service“

“Great food ! Our server Elaine was exceptional!“

“TLDR: Melissa is AWESOME! But, if you are gluten free (ie no soy sauce with wheat) or allergic to mushrooms, you can’t eat here.

My husband and I combined have those allergies and Melissa was very kind to ask the chef if we could be accommodated. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Melissa was so respectful of how she informed us - aaaaaaand then offered us a complimentary cocktail (which was on point) and a reservation down the road at a nice restaurant that she knew could accommodate our allergies!

I don’t envy her for effectively having to kick us out, but she (and the entire staff) were so gracious to us. Thank you Melissa!“

“So welcoming ❤️ simple dinner or a drink at night next to the beach, priceless“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great atmosphere great food“

“Server Paul was excellent with many helpful suggestions. Food and drink arrived promptly. The Lobster Pot Pie is great. The Montenegro was fun. Hona World was fun. Desserts were chocolate tent and the lime cocoanut sorbet; both delicious. Outdoor dining is a quieter vibe and my family group of six prefers it.“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“Great food, run by some great people“

“Simple Joy Vegetarian Cuisine truly lives up to its name. The food brought me so much comfort and flavor during my time in Honolulu. I had their crispy vegan egg rolls and fried rice — both perfectly seasoned, light yet satisfying, and full of texture. It’s one of those spots where you can taste the love and simplicity in every dish. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving soulful Asian-inspired vegan eats.“

“Brunch was very good as we had the Prime Rib dip sandwich. Service was friendly but, with only one server and one cook- it was slow service. The biggest issue with the ambiance is that they need to have better upkeep. Bathrooms were pretty filthy and disgusting- they need to be refurbished. I think it could be a great neighborhood restaurant with a spruce up and more help.“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“My Friend and I ordered corn beef hash. DA Bes in town. Friend wanted his eggs soft scrambled. Our waitress, Rhea, knew exactly how it's made as many establishments overcook them. She said she would inform the cook. They were served exactly as my friend, Bob, wanted. Great service even with a full house. We will become regulars for sure!!!!!“

“Great service and delicious food! 🩷“

“Hall is renovated and is beautiful! Love going to live music events there! Great staff...Allie and Daryl are very helpful!“

“Great place. I stop in most days. Very friendly employees that remember you. When I have large orders for work, they get it done pretty fast too! :)“

“I’m beginning to learn that some of the best diners are located on a golf course. This one was no exception. The menu was quite extensive consisted mainly Hawaiian, Western, Korean and Japanese. I had the “seasonal special” of deep fried butter fish bones that came in a sauce akin to Chinese steamed fish sauce with Chinese cabbage and rice. It was delicious, the sauce was on point. It was better than other butter fish I have had on the island. The other dish we tried was the Waikele fried chicken with all dark meat. That was also very tasty as well. The service was very good and the sitting area was a bit dated, but still comfortable with a nice view of the driving range.“

“Excellent food and service. My wife and I were there for the Navy’s 248th Birthday Meal. The beef, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, corn, vegetables, and salad were delicious. Good crab legs though a bit salty. Very clean and pleasant atmosphere.“

“Highly recommend this bar! It's in the Hilton Waikiki. The drinks are phenomenal and the bartenders are top tier! Shout-out to Dana, Blake, and Massimo. Great conversation, great live music on certain nights. And you can order good food from the restaurant next door for the bar. Happy hour specials and great mixed drinks!“

“The food, service and value is REALLY good!“

“this place is a Crazy Rich Asian vibe and i love it. Chef Anthony and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. A family style, off-menu 9 dish dinner was delicious. i was full by dish 7 and barely had enough room for dish 9(desert).

BTW, this place is PERFECT for private events!“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“Awesome people, great food, cold brew, and tasty cocktails! Love this place 😋“

“美味しくいただけました。日本語メニューがなく無難なものを選ばざるを得なかったことが残念でした。 世界中から来店あると思うので、コストがかからないサービスは改善の余地があると思います。“

“In Pearl City... where else can you find five -star dining? Where else can you find a menu that is unpredictable, but in a delightful way? Where else can you find such youthful intensity and exuberance among the "staff"? Try The Pearl.

Parking: Several minutes walk from parking to the restaurant entrance.“

“there’s 5 palm trees at paradise palms (I counted with great difficulty) but the food is great for a quick pick up in between classes. don’t expect michelin stars here.

there’s construction to the south of this place as of writing (Oct 2025) so beware of the noise.“

“I've seen Chrisette Michele and Raheem Devaughn and both artist put on an incredible show. The venue is intimate and nice. There is no bad seat in the venue because your view of the artist will be good. The venue is first come first serve so I recommend arriving early to select your preferred seating arrangements.

The food in my opinion is however over priced but hey, you get what you get.

Otherwise great venue to see your favorite artist.“

“Friendly staff, food was amazing and the prices were very affordable. 5 stars.“
