Restaurants in Honolulu

“These guys take creative to a whole new level! Well done!”

“Very good food.”

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!”

“Found this place near closing and they still politely sat and served us with great attitudes. The attention to detail was amazing and the Japan and Mai Tai beverages were fantastic.
Reservations recommended I hear they get busy.”

“Absolutely excellent. Wonderful meal, friendly and professional service, entirely a delight!

A second meal with friends a month later was equally amazing and delicious. Terrific!”

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.”

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.”

“We ordered multiple dishes, started with zucchini tots, and had smoked ahi cigars, scallops, bone marrow, etc. All taste just right. Not plain at all. It is balanced and cooked thoroughly. The cocktails are really good, too. They must have great bartenders. The Freddie, the 007, and Dressed for success. Try.
We didn't try any large dishes, so no comments on that.
Glad to find a favorite restaurant. The servers are informative and nice, too.
We had a really good time. Very Satisfied.”

“🍽️ Bara chirashi (x2) for takeout
💵 $80

Fantastic bara chirashi using freshest of quality seafood (includes uni, toro, ikura, tamago, octopus, mackerel, and more), cooked with authentic Japanese methods and the restaurant’s unique twist on the dish.

Beyond excellent for the price and a must-have if you are a sushi lover in Waikiki. One box is a perfect amount for one diner.

Note that this must be booked several days if not weeks in advance (can be checked through their booking platform). Pick up is strictly at 4:30pm at the Sushi Sho storefront inside the Ritz-Carlton. Food is recommended to be consumed within the same day.”

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!”

“Such a fun place. They have swing chairs at the bar. love it!!”

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.”

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.”

“We RAN to Waffle and Berry after the zoo. We showed up 15 minutes before closed and they were quick to calm us. As long as we ordered by 2 minutes before close, we would be served. And then they showed up with a snack plate for our toddler. He absolutely loved it!! We absolutely loved our dessert. Crispy, warm waffle. Sweet ice cream and berries. Unbelievably welcoming environment.”

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。”

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️”

“I am foodie from Japan, enjoy once or twice a month hotel buffet in Tokyo. But Orchids Sunday branch menu was the best ever. Not only does it taste good, but it also tastes good, fine scenery, number and placement of staff and their diligence noteworthy.”

“I visited Arden Waikiki and it felt noticeably different from many of the restaurants along Kalākaua Avenue. While Waikiki has plenty of casual dining spots, Arden offers a more refined and modern dining experience that focuses heavily on presentation and thoughtful preparation.

The restaurant has a contemporary interior design that feels clean, elegant, and relaxed at the same time. The lighting and layout create a comfortable atmosphere that works well for a longer dinner experience rather than a quick meal.

The menu emphasizes carefully prepared dishes that highlight high-quality ingredients and balanced flavors. Each plate feels thoughtfully composed, with attention given not only to taste but also to visual presentation. The dishes reflect a modern approach to dining where technique and creativity play an important role.

What stood out to me most was the overall pacing of the meal. The kitchen clearly focuses on delivering courses in a way that allows diners to appreciate each dish rather than rushing through the experience. It creates a more intentional dining atmosphere compared to many of the fast-paced restaurants in Waikiki.

Service during the visit was professional and attentive. Staff were knowledgeable about the menu and maintained a smooth flow throughout the meal.

Overall, Arden Waikiki offers a more elevated dining experience in an area that is often dominated by casual restaurants. If you are looking for a modern restaurant in Waikiki that focuses on quality ingredients, presentation, and attentive service, this is definitely a place worth visiting.”

“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.”

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!”

“My all itme favirite restaurant. Excellent food and service. Reknown for their chirashi.”

“This is the ultimate Hidden Gem of Honolulu! You can find me on the dance floor whenever they have DJs on weekends. Perfect place to chill and take your date for an intimate and quiet time. As quiet as a bar can be I suppose. Must visit for your bachelorette party or post wedding celebration! Bianca and the staff are very warm and very professional ♥️”

“We LOVEEEEE Egghead Cafe!!! Every time we come in they are so friendly, welcoming of my little ones, and quick! I've never had anything bad. Their coffee is delicious, my favorite is Tiramisu Latte! Definitely visit, it will be worth it!”

“So delicious”

“Delicious, inventive, fun, intimate and so enjoyable. We did the 150 omakase. We were really full at the end. No bad dishes at all and some really were delicious. Yes it was a little difficult to find the restaurant after parking and no we didn't see any flying bugs that a few other guests mentioned. We had an amazing time.”

“The food was very good, wife love the ice cream on her French toast.”

“Absolutely one of the best dinners my boyfriend and I have ever had in our lives. We travel and love experiencing good food, this was beyond that. This exceeds 5 stars and is a must try. Maki is an amazing server. What a pleasure you all were. Thank you so much. MAHALO”

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

“Couldn’t have had a better experience while on vacation!!”

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.”

“looking forward to this service.”

“Strawberry Watermelon Shoju was Yummmmm! Cool staff! Good pupus!”

“My kids and I really love the french fries...😋😋😋 freshly cooked and available anytime👍👍👍👍”

“If you're hungry and want to satisfy some local comfort cravings, stop by Diner's by Upscale Hawaii in Kalihi. The food is so good and tender, portions are big and definitely worth the price. I love thet they open 24hrs.

I do wish they improve the customer service. Also the waiting is long.”

“I think they work great as a team and their people persons”

“That's great..I love it,I love the buttery jack it's so good”

“Order Ala Carte 1/4lb patties with cheese! Save lots of money & skip the unhealthy stuff! #thecarnivorediet”

“Great service and awesome workers. This mc.donalds was extremely busy, i went inside because i thought the drive through would take to long and they still got my order out fast and efficiently and the workers were still happy despite working so hard so early in the morning 😁”

“I dunno but when I ordered the fried rice in the morning it was disgusting tasted like wet sponge or a dirty rag 🤮 other than that the side salad was great 😃 👍🏾”

“Late night drive-thru and also Kudos for giving out free meals for all Healthcare workers. Thank You for your support to our front-liners🤙🤙”

“Excellent food at McDonald’s Salt Lake Shopping Center. The hot cakes and sausage were delicious and just the right portions. Great to sit down and enjoy our breakfast. Mahalo McDonald’s Hawaii.”

“The best on the island. 100% confident worker bees here. The flavor of these jack in the box sandwiches is the very best of the best. Thank you for awesome, perfect orders.”

“There needs to be a variety of McDonald's we can choose from in the area for delivery. Kaimuki takes advantage of the monopoly by the rate they mess up the orders. They don't care because they're the only McDonald's used for to long a radius. Like they just throw anything into a bag before they hand it to a Dasher till it feels a bit filled up. Apparently it was Bacon Day and I didn't know. Everything was taken over by bacon in our bag, I guess they ran out of other breakfast meats. I detest bacon. so my son walked away with a double breakfast while I walked away once again with nothing. I really enjoy walking away with no breakfast Kaimuki McDonald's. Thanks a mill.”

“Tonight (Monday, April 13, 2026 at around 10pm) I had a horrible experience with the lady in drive thru. This is the second time I've dealt with her and both times, she was not nice. I always order on the app. The app doesnt have the option to get Coke Zero, so I order it as Diet Coke, and when I get to Jack in the box, I tell them to change it to Coke Zero. I've never had a problem when I go to the same location during the day time or any other location... but this lady, always tells me that its too late to change my drink because she already made it. How early did she make my drink? Why couldn't she just dump the diet soda and use the same cup to put Coke zero. She said I should've ordered it on the app as Coke Zero because other people order it. She was arguing with me. She has really bad customer service. She is the reason why I wont go back to this location. Or ill just go during the day, where they dont make the drinks until I get to the window. That lady is horrible. No wonder there was no line tonight. Maybe everyone knows how she is. She needs to work on her customer service or be fired. She will bring down that restaurant with her attitude.”

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.”

“Good not great, matcha is pretty solid quality but the hojicha is just okay. It feels like more of an afterthought as it’s the less popular of the two. I do think the desserts are something I’d like to come back for though. I hope they source a better hojicha powder in the future for their lattes. Plenty of seating as well.”

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.”

“Tempura Kiki was an amazing gem in Waikiki - the tempura was all cooked to order and presented with utmost precision and care. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive and couldn’t have been better. Such delicious foods and great people. I’d highly recommend coming here!”

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.”

“This place was recommended by a foodie friend of mine so I expected it to be good, but no, good doesn’t do it justice. The oat milk latte was glorious and the mango scone delicate, very lightly sweet and the perfect accompaniment to the latte. Service was friendly and helpful.”

“Some of the most delicious pastries and best cuts of meat on the island. One of our go-to spots for getting fun breakfast and planning a scrumptious dinner. Harley and Jason are awesome and this place is an absolute gem!”

“Had such a great food experience. Everyone was friendly. For being complete outsiders, we were made to feel like family.”

“Ordered a sushi platter online via clove for pick up in 30 mins and it was ready when I got there. There was ample parking in the self storage lot. Looked very presentable to bring to a party and tasted good!”

“Kimchi fry rice is amazing and the poke is fire, definitely on my list of top grinds.”

“The Best Rockstar place on Oahu!”

“Food is ALWAYS delicious and the staff is so kind and attentive! Katsu-san creates the most beautiful sashimi platters and omakase sushi!”

“We were in Hawaii for 8 days and ate at Poke Fix three times. The food is great, the people are friendly and they get you in and out quickly. I would recommend them to anyone.”

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))”

“お蕎麦はもちろん今回は雲丹、いくら、帆立の海鮮丼がとても美味しかったです。 ランチセットがリーズナブルです👍”

“best açaí bowl there is...beats açaí republic by a mil. $14/acai bowl is reasonable. please do not increase the price anymore, if you do, I will not be able to afford it”

“Truly feels like walking into someone’s house everytime. Aunties give each customer so much love and care and you can truly taste that love in the drinks.

Got to Mango Papaya Milk and Coconut Lychee, hits the spot everytime especially on those hot day!”

“This has been our go to brunch spot for the last several years. The food is amazing - the Oscar Benedict (crab/corned beef) is one of our favorites! The coffee w/cookies and especially having the milk/cream warmed is the perfect way to start the day. The peaceful atmosphere with its view of the blue ocean and Fort DeRussy park makes this a truly special place. Most of all, the staff is amazing… Summer, Feliciana, Chris, everyone! They have truly imbued the spirit of Aloha.”

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

“Best coffee, best toast. Best experience!”

“Great food and great staff!”

“Authentic Japanese food! It was great to be able to have it while vacationing in Hawaii. Brought back so many memories of living in Japan!”

“Was craving a late night bite and stumbled on this smash burger food stand and wowow one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! (I’ve had everything from McDonalds, In and Out, Five Guys, Shake Shack, Dick’s Burgers, you name it!)

Guys working there were super friendly and accommodating, wait for food was less than 5 mins. 10/10, highly recommend, no other notes”

“One of the best culinary experiences I’ve had in such a long time. The tasting dish was so full of life and made with such care. Everything was delicious.

Even though we were 20 mins late to our resy, chef Aung was so gracious and welcomed us anyways. The vibes, the music, and the fact that we all were just hanging out made the experience something unforgettable.”

“Hands down the best sushi place I have ever been too! From the beginning we walked in with my family. We were greeted with a huge smile and got seated in a private booth. The service, the staff and atmosphere there is really nice and kid friendly! After we payed our meal. The host/server gave my son a free toy. Thank you so much for not rushing him because he couldn’t decide what to pick. We had a great time here and we can’t wait to be back again!!”

“Their sushi cake exceeded our expectations. It was so delicious and almost too pretty to eat! The 2 guys working when I picked up were awesome! Super friendly and one even took the time to show me the cake and gave tips on how to cut and eat it! Their customer service from ordering to pick up was exceptional!”

“Incredible flavor & huge portions! I had the Garlic Parmesan Crusted Ahi over brown rice. I’ll absolutely be back!”

“Very comfortable atmosphere and great food. The honey toast is definitely for those who want a challenge (or you can be smart and split it haha). Chastiny was a great host and helped answer any questions we had.”

“Cute place! The packages were really fluffy and delicious, it’s just two guys, but it’s amazing how quick they work. We came and there was already a line! Forgot to take the picture with how hungry I was but will definitely come again in the future!”

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!”

“Our family had the best time. Luau was authentic and in a spacious venue with breathtaking views. Staff were friendly. Performances were unforgettable. Activities were engaging. Definitely the best luau I’ve been to. Mahalo Experience Nutridge.”

“Everything was so beautiful and intimate!”

“We did delivery, they have a limited menu on DoorDash. It was really delicious, exceeded my expectations! The wasabi was really premium, the chirashi bowl had lots of flavor and a good portion size, and the salmon is so creamy. We especially liked the tamago and roe. Wonderful flavors!”

“The fish was incredible, the hostess was awesome, and it was one of the best meal experiences of my life! Reserve a spot at their omakase and you will have the meal of your life!”

“Great sushi just a quick walk away from the airport during a layover”

“The overall experience and vibe at the sushi counter is excellent here - highly recommend going for that specifically. I got a walk-in spot when they opened, but since it's a fairly small space, it's probably best to make a reservation.

I like the way they do omakase here - your nigiri comes out one piece at a time until you say stop, whether that's only a handful of pieces along with other stuff you order, or a large course.

Bearing in mind that this is more of a casual-ish spot it's not going to be the fanciest preparations, but generally good and quality fish. Great variety of what they have on hand; definitely significantly above and beyond what you'd typically find back on the mainland! Variety goes a long way toward a good experience.

Easily recommended.”

“This is one of the world’s great restaurant. The food is amazing, the ambience is incredible and the wait staff is one of the most knowledgeable I have seen. The guest is treated like royalty. I highly recommend this restaurant”

“Hihimanu Sushi is hands down one of the most unique and memorable dining experiences on Oahu. Chef Ray’s omakase is absolutely incredible — every course feels like a work of art. The fish is unbelievably fresh, and you can truly taste the quality in every bite.

What makes this place so special is that Chef Ray’s menu changes based on the freshest ingredients available and the season, which makes every visit a completely new experience. His creativity and attention to detail really shine through in each dish.

If you appreciate true omakase and want to experience sushi at the highest level, Hihimanu Sushi is a must. The atmosphere is intimate, the quality is outstanding, and Chef Ray’s passion for his craft is evident in every creation.”

“I walked passing the center this morning what I found. They start putting up Christmas decorations in the beginning of October.. are you kidding me? It won’t help your sales if you looking for that goal. It would make many people though you are crazy. I am not sure the marketing or what so ever department does not knows well what exactly what is they doing. Instead of trying doing that you should focus on the coming event. Such as Early access sales campaigns it will be boosted traffic Not Christmas decorations in October.”

“You will never be disappointed. The chef’s creativity in every dish shines through and is phenomenal every time. Makes me cry good tears! The best sushi on Oahu and a memorable, friendly atmosphere!”

“Amazing food and atmosphere every time. I highly recommend this restaurant”

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!”

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

“I have been coming to Oahu for more than 15 years, and this was my first visit to Original Roy's. The location was excellent, easy to find, and provided a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The staff treated us like family and made us feel genuinely appreciated as guests. The wait staff was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. They struck the perfect balance between providing excellent service and allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed or pressured to move on, which is increasingly rare in many restaurants today. They offered several recommendations and shared their personal favorites from both the seafood and meat selections. The only challenge was deciding what to order because every recommendation sounded outstanding and depended entirely on what you were in the mood for that evening. The desserts were exceptional. Both were served warm, required approximately 20–25 minutes to prepare, and were absolutely worth the wait. They provided the perfect ending to an outstanding dining experience. The overall experience reminded me of Jamison's on the North Shore before it closed several years ago. That restaurant was known for its upscale service and welcoming atmosphere, qualities that Original Roy's clearly continues to provide. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience, and I will definitely be returning to try another one of the seafood specialties that were recommended to us.”

“The Tomahawk steak is outstanding. No need to ruin it with A1 sauce. The stuffed chicken breast was not dry, so tasty. Everything is ala carte but totally worth it. Would go again”

“The owner was super nice and explained how everything is made in-house and which are popular. The lychee and strawberry+salty lemon are super delicious, full of fresh fruit, not too sweet, and filling. Both go super well with a scoop of ice cream! Would definitely recommend!”

“Unbelievably good food for a great price and the best service regardless of language barriers. And the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was the richest best version of the drink we've had anywhere. And those fresh rolls were absolutely stunning.”

“really good, and the lady is very nice :D the only thing is its not always open during the listed hours, but when it is open its quite yummy ! kids size was plenty for me”

“Kimo is such a great guy. My Hawaii trip had taken a turn for the worst and I admittedly went to his beach bar to drink some sadness away. Ended up meeting tons of great people there including Kimo. On my last day in Hawaii he gave me a goody bag with some original Hawaiian treats and a nice calendar. I promised him a bottle of Canadian maple syrup next time I'm in Hawaii and I'm looking forward to sharing a drink with him again.

Beautiful views, delicious drinks for a great price, and perfect place to cross paths with some truly beautiful people inside and out.”

“best Mexican food on island, friendly service, HUGE portions - well worth it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Tasty and fresh daily poke. Some of the fish may be limited supply, due to the nature of their fresh fish procurement. The food server was helpful and straight forward. The themes were islandy and fun but there was a weird smell.”

“Stopped after seeing a review on tiktok for the coconut cloud 9 matcha. Staff were amazing and greeted us with a smile. Matcha was also delicious!! Glad we stopped”

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.”

“Nanding’s Bakery Spanish rolls are a local classic—you’ll find them at almost every potluck or office party, and for good reason.

Soft, chewy, and buttery with that slightly sweet finish… they’re best when warm, and honestly, one piece is never enough. You always end up going back for more.

Stopped by the Kapahulu location—super convenient with easy parking, which makes quick pick-ups a breeze.”

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊”

“Delicious food ,great people”

“Absolutely the best donuts we have ever had!”

“We picked up sushi for our flight. It was prepared very efficiently and well-packaged to make it through security and the airport.
I will definitely do it again for our next HNL departure.”

“Always an experience going here. Always fresh food and fast service. You will feel bloated just be aware. And don't come starving or you'll buy the whole menu.”

“This is a cozy, cutely decorated place. The clientele many are studying on their devices, so it's a quiet place. The bottom line is the drinks are very good. My 9yr old nephew insisted on coming here, and seemed to know what to order. While playing chess in the place he revealed he and his mother have been coming here after their evening walks. The plain milk tea and the ube tea is really good. For me 25% sweet is perfect.
Prices are good. You can enjoy a nice drink in a comfortable setting or take out. Open until 10pm!”

“About the Rating Stars (optional) - suggest a switch to Mandatory! Comments Illustrate as Advertised. Mr. Dolan has another location opposite Kahala Mall. One can pre-populate the Survey. Yep, (Better Be) too busy Dining-n-Enjoying themselves!”

“Shrimp tempura was awesome1 Good friendly service.”

“The food is so flavorful...the best tasting so far..The service is outstanding. Very warm and inviting. They treat all the customers as if they are family. I would highly recommend eating here.”

“Talk Kaimuki deserves a 10 rating based on its excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and special. It's our home away from home!”

“My all itme favirite restaurant. Excellent food and service. Reknown for their chirashi.”

“Since, I first tried Indian Food I fell in love with it awesome dishes Taste of unquine Dishes. All Vegetarian dishes and non vegetarian like Lamb, chicken and fish. People are so kind and welcome 🙏.”

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

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.”

“OMG! The Hauoli Pastry Poi Mochisada is DA BOMB! Light & airy, slightly crispy outside. If I had known it was going to be this good, I would have bought 2 dozen. If you only buying for yourself, MAYBE 6 is enough, but I'm a big boy so a dozen would have been perfect for me. We discovered them at the Night Market at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club and I'm so glad we did. If I ever see them elsewhere, I'm definitely buying again. Otherwise, I will have to wait for the next Night Market, but I won't make the same mistake as tonight, so gonna leave with 2 dozen!”

“10/17/25 Friendly service and delicious food. Second visit to Waialae location.”

“The Best Rockstar place on Oahu!”

“Ate at location in HLN while waiting for flight I had the Hawaiian dot long my daughter had the bbq ribs. Both were great”

“We visited Aina Steak and Seafood over the Christmas holidays and were a little bit late for our reservations. Luckily, the friendly staff still saved a table for us by the open kitchen. The kitchen and the entire restaurant, including the bathrooms, were very clean. The restaurant had a different vibe from other steakhouses on the island which was very refreshing. The friendly waitress took our drink orders and gave us an overview of some of the recommendations and specials. Our waitress was very attentive and always had a smile on her face. She checked on us multiple times throughout our dining experience. We ordered: Appetizer: Oyster platter, salad (came with the steak) Sides: Truffle mashed potatoes, mushroom medley Entrees: Prime ribeye, lamb rack Dessert: Creme brulee, cheesecake The apps were fresh and delicious. The protein entrees came with these special salts and wasabi on the side. It complimented the meat well. The ribeye was just mediocre but the lamb was some of the best I have ever tasted on this island. The sides were portioned well and very tasty. Desserts was just what you would expect to end the meal with. Overall the food was very good. Now this is where the night was sort of ruined. As we were seated near the kitchen, we could overhear the cook/manager/owner(?) berating his service staff very loudly and in earshot of us customers. We were not eavesdropping, but he was so loud that we could see that this was legitimate borderline verbal abuse. I felt sorry for the female staffers that had to endure his unprofessional outbursts in the workplace. I say this as someone who has worked in every position of the restaurant field. As a manager, I have never yelled at any of my staff ever, because you as the leader must show leadership. How do you expect to manage or control your environment when you cannot control your own temper? As a waiter, I would never tolerate an authoritarian manager. I would quit right on the spot. As HR, you might have a lawsuit on your hands if you were to abuse your workers. I loved the food, but I would only come back again if another cook or manager was working instead of this man. I cannot support a business that mistreats its workers, no matter how good the food is.”

“I and a couple of other retirees discovered Pur Sina when they opened and have been weekly customers ever since. Their small kitchen limits the menu choices, but what they offer is tasty and reasonably priced. The pleasant customer-oriented staff has made it serve as a home away from home for us, and we have always felt welcomed. If/when they leave, they will be sorely missed.”

“If you have never tried 'Namaste Indian & Nepalese Cuisine' in Honolulu - you should have no hesitation whatsoever about ordering from here - it's 12/10 delicious! I had it for the first time tonight - hands down one of the best meals I've ever had! Lamb Masala & the Rogan Josh lamb dish was phenomenal. Naan was freshly made. Meat was SO tender. You definitely can tell that the ingredients are high quality with health benefits & cooked with a lotta love. I regret not ordering more (especially the mango lassi mmm...) I honestly could eat from here everyday & not feel guilty. This is the type of food that will heal you from the inside out lol. Fresh - healthy REAL food - tons of amazing flavors - warms the soul! Just added to my Top 5 favorites on Oahu! Go order now!!”

“We ate outside with the beach in view. Perfect setting for that evening glow when the sky is on fire. The food was superb and large portions. We tried fish tacos, the outstanding Mango bbq burger, and the pulled pork sandwich. I’d say the mango burgers were the best item we had. Loved seeing the tiki torches with diamond head background.”

“One of my best meals here on the island! Love the farm to table! Love to be able to support local farmers and businesses. The frozen pina colada was the best one I have ever had and I have had some really good ones. Our waiter was great and patient!”

“We ordered the dishes we thought were the most popular, and they were good portions, enough to share between two people.

Excellent views of Diamond Head and a fairly peaceful atmosphere. We went early and didn't have to wait; the service was quite fast since there were hardly any people.”

“We had two fantastic meals here during our time in Hawaii! Looking forward to coming again!”

“We ate at Hula tonight for the first time and Levin took care of us! He went above and beyond and made the experience for myself, my mom and daughter absolutely wonderful. His suggestions for entrees were on point and his customer service was the best we had since arriving on the island! Thank you so much!”

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!”

“Looking for a place to eat for lunch and came across this place. Didn't know it was a fancy restaurant until we sat down and saw the menu prices. You get what you pay for here and they do have a lunch menu which has reasonable prices. I knew it was fancy the moment we got asked what kind of water we wanted. Good fine dining place for those taking out their significant other or want to experience high end restaurant eating.”

“Larry and Wilma give it 5 thumbs up. Great service, Great food, Great view and great atmosphere.”

“Best Steak House on the West Coast! If you stop in for dinner say hi to bro-in-law Matt! He's got great stories! just don't mention my name cause then the stories will be fiercely funny 🤣”

“Absolutely our best meal in Hawaii. The right choice to celebrate a special occasion. Our experience was so wonderful, food, wine, atmosphere all made for the best evening. Our server, Julian was absolutely top notch, extremely friendly, attentive, and was just so happy to engage ensuring the celebration was more than we expected. Kudos he deserves it. Highly recommend this place. Will definitely be back.”

“We Had the best experience with Marky she is so uplifting very personable love that she is who she is absolutely amazing ty for a special great time love you all”

“I visited today and sat at the bar for Happy Hour and had the best bartender (woman) whose name I didn't get but we did chat about travel. She was so kind! I forgot my credit card and ran after me down the street to return it to me! The food was great and the service was awesome. Thank you kind lady and enjoy your trip to South Africa!”

“Delicious with amazing service!!”

“Reliably consistent location to location. Hurricane, Bourbon Apple Mule, and entrees were tasty as always, which we appreciate! Our server was fantastic! Cleanliness looked like it could use a bit more attention. Monday night so not too busy. Also, service in the Rick Shop was great! Made sure I got my Unity benefits! I'd go back!”

“First of all, this is not our first visit here for me and my husband. But this time we had our 2 kids with us. We walked in on a Father’s Day weekend on a Saturday, expecting no tables for a family of 4. They were able to sit us by the bar. And it was amazing, the food is great we had the MEGAHAWK, oysters, thick-cut bacon, keiki steak plate and very refreshing watermelon sorbet. Willian and Brian were friendly and superb with their service. As always we will be back again soon. THE STEAK IS NOT A MISTAKE ON THIS ONE!!! 👍🏼💯✅- R.C.”

“The lactose free and gluten free options were great for my partner! We both really enjoyed our food - however, the cost did feel a bit steep considering the content of the dish. Was tasty and enjoyed it overall!”

“Best shaved ice in Honolulu! Delicious ice cream and syrup flavors! They also have all natural options. We’ll be back tomorrow 🤤”

“Food was fresh and delicious. The produce they used was amazing quality. They have a lot of good options to choose from and the ordering process was quick and easy. My toddler who is in a picky eating phase loved their scrambled eggs and croffles. They also have the best matcha latte I've ever had, I believe they use a pandan syrup they make in house. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning.”

“My husband and I immensely enjoyed coming here! We came on a Thursday night and it wasn't too busy. We were greeted right away and sat at a table. Our server Gueda was very attentive and took great care of us! We also had another person come by and check on us several times to make sure we were good. The various meat selections were great, and they kept coming by our table the whole time we were there. We got caiparinhas and they came in different flavors. I'm not a big meat eater, so I just had the all you can eat salad bar which was more than enough. We would come again and we highly recommend it!”

“Ordering steaks from Hawaiian Prime has become a tradition for us. The quality is consistently outstanding and their team is always incredibly helpful. It feels good supporting a great local resource and the steaks never disappoint. Correction: the steaks AND seafood never disappoint. We ordered lobster tails for the first time this year… Simply amazing!”

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.”

“This shop is always rotating roasters and coffees they offer. I ordered a pour over with notes of cherry from their adventurous section of the menu (it was very cherry) at the bar and the friendly, knowledgeable baristas brought it to where I was sitting. Good spot to try something new.”

“This is an excellent place to enjoy the art of Japanese cuisine. We had an infant and toddler, yet they were very kind in every way. I highly recommend the special occasion eat out.”

“We always enjoy coming here with the family. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming, making it an easy place to relax and enjoy a meal together. It’s also kid-friendly—especially if your kids already enjoy Japanese food—though it’s worth noting there isn’t a dedicated kids menu. Overall, it’s a spot we keep coming back to and consistently have a great experience.”

“Bikini burger was a perfect fit after a long day of vacation. Fresh, hot juicy burger that comes with seasoned fries. We also got the salad and loved the toppings (pickle, tomato, dressing). Simple but delicious. The uniquely fried Oreos were a fun dessert. My son loved them.”

“Everything 🤙😵‍💫🤙,,,,Sooo Ono ! Break away from the typical grind and find something New , this is the place !”

“Had to go back for MORE! Delicious and such creative flavors, plus eye candy.”

“Very yummy and good deal if you like nigiri! Yuzu yellow tail was great but I would skip the spicy tuna crispy rice. I’d say premium is worth it for expanded options.”

“This place is an absolute gem. If this were in any other west coast city it would be impossible to get in, but being just off the overly beaten path in Waikiki, Gyoza studio Kubota maintains some character and isn’t pulverized by tourists. Fantastic and creative gyoza and other delicious Japanese bar treats, plus legit culinary thoughtfulness going into their menu items with ingredients that show innovation with Hawaiian influence - oyster/gyoza ramen, etc. The staff couldn’t vibe any harder - awesome people. Not to mention, they let you scribble on the walls. I would be very proud if this were one of my neighborhood joints. Do yourself a favor and go get some gyoza and sake or Asahi on draft. Big mahalo for a great meal. Aloha from Alaska.”

“Fantastic bar and cigar lounge in Waikiki. It was a joy to visit after a nice dinner and relax. Service quality is out of this world and education opportunity for all other bars and restaurants. Secret treasure. I cannot recommend more for those cigar aficionados. Curtis is excellent host.”
