“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.”

Māze

Māze 604 Ala Moana Blvd, Honolulu American • $$$$

“A wonderful experience at Maze in Honolulu, largely thanks to the exceptionally warm service, strong flavor and sauce work, and consistently good dishes from beginning to dessert.

What sticks in our mind were the oyster (meaty oyster that didn't feel powdery as some larger ones do, balanced but not overwhlemed by the sauce on top), the basil jook that came with the scallop dish (so well developed), the Washugyu and daikon broth that came with the main.

Also want to compliment the pacing of the meal as we never felt like we were waiting for a long time for any of the dishes. Pretty much perfectly well paced for preferences.

Overall, adding in everything into the experience would not hesitate to come back here again.”

Senia

Senia 75 North King Street, Honolulu New American • $$$$

“Senia delivers an exceptional dining experience, with attentive, polished service and an intimate ambiance—especially with the option to sit at the chef’s counter and watch the kitchen at work.

The ahi cigar and triple-smoked salmon were highlights. The interplay of textures, aromas, and contrasting flavor notes throughout the meal was thoughtful and beautifully executed. There is a clear sense of creativity and technical precision behind the food.

One minor refinement: some dishes leave guests to construct their own bites. A more controlled composition could better showcase the chef’s intended balance of flavors and textures. Overall, an inventive, refined, and memorable experience deserving of five stars.”

Turned around and it looked like time with her mom and dad... at least I had the chair in front of me... #godsseat... I miss my parents. They both alive. They just chose to not be in my life.

We sat at the sushi bar this time which I think made the experience more fun since it basically felt like an omakase style meal despite us also ordering a la carte. We're more into the casual but excellent fish quality vibe anyway... thanks jeff and to the staff for being welcoming!”

“The Zaru-soba sauce was perfect...the soba itself was good, but the sauce is amazing. I haven't had sauce like that since I was in Japan.

The hamachi carpaccio was a little sad looking, but the salmon with yuzu was really good. There were other dishes I wanted but they were out of it when I went.

Quail eggs were nice, the eggplant tempura was really good too...didn't care much for the grilled tofu. I guess it was because it was harder and dryer than I thought it was gonna be even after letting it sit in the sauce (i poked holes in it to help it absorb more of the sauce, but that didn't work).

Overall this restaurant has some really amazing food, as well as some not so amazing food. But overall I enjoyed it there. But for sure I'll be back when I want zaru-soba and salmon.

One interesting thing that happened was we asked if we could sit at the bar and we were told no. There was plenty of open seating at the bar, and there were only 1 or 2 couples up there at the time eating. I guess we were not good enough for the bar seating for some reason.”

“I made a reservation specifically to enjoy the fireworks, and I was so excited for the evening. While the hostess was extremely polite despite looking quite flustered, the management experience fell short. The manager (or bar manager—she was wearing a headset) and the gentleman behind the bar came across as notably abrupt. Having worked in the industry for many years, I completely understand the stress of a busy night, but this felt out of place for an establishment of this caliber—especially being at a Ritz-Carlton.

Onto the food! The drinks were fantastic and the meal itself was delicious, though I was a bit disappointed to find some old, wilted pieces of lettuce in my salad. Otherwise, no complaints!

A special shoutout to our amazing server (a redheaded-woman whose name I unfortunately didn't catch)—she was wonderful. And the view for the fireworks? Absolute perfection. 10/10 for the view and the server!”

The other touches like the authenticity, the ambience, and the service were also great. The chef was quite friendly and the staff was great. They do have an added, automatic gratuity of 20% but it is well earned and deserved. It may be better framed as a service fee or baked into the price, but that would be my only mention to set expectations. Other than that, every single option we chose on the menu (as a party of 2 we ordered 9 different items and each was a delight) not only reads well but is delicious! Their house made soy sauce served with a brush-tool as well as the wasabi in rice was a first time, unique culinary experience for us, and it was nothing short of phenomenal.

Water and drink order is perfectly timed. Whether you order teishoku complete meals or sushi, the flavor and and portions are spot on. If you choose to sit at the sushi counter, the spread is just amazing. From white fish, tuna, to shellfish and sometimes even a fruit or plant to cleanse the pallet. I would recommend reservations as this place is always busy. Takeout is also very good!”

“I've been to Gyoza Studio Kubota a few times since it opened, and it's become one of my favorite ramen shops in Honolulu!

Their chicken paitan ramen is hands down one of the best. I love a broth that isn't overly rich or heavy but is still packed with that deep chicken flavor. It's so easy to eat while being super satisfying. Honestly, it's the perfect ramen for a rainy day... or any day for that matter.

And obviously, you HAVE to get the gyoza. It is Gyoza Studio after all! The gyoza was delicious, with perfectly thin wrappers and a great meat-to-skin ratio.

The staff is super nice, and the whole restaurant has such a chill, laid-back atmosphere. One of the fun things I love is that they let you draw on the walls, so naturally we had to add a masterpiece of our own.

Overall, one of my favorite spots in Honolulu. Great ramen, great gyoza, great vibes. Can't wait to come back again!”

Aina Steak and Seafood 342 Lewers Street Suite 2f, Honolulu Restaurant • $$$

“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.”

“We came in to celebrate our daughter's birthday over the weekend. I was fairly busy and they placed us really close to the kitchen. The kids thought it was so cool to see them sort of cooking the food. Our server was Brooklyn and right for the start she was very nice and friendly, was always checking on us. Food came quickly with only one order that took awhile, which was the birthday girls meal. Peter the assistant general manager came by and apologize to her that her meal was taking awhile and that it would be out shortly. He asked her if she would like an Icee or milk shake while she waited. She said no, and then he left, about 3 minutes later Peter brought her meal to her and thanked her for her patience. He gave her a power card as a thank you and for her celebration., He took her meal off our bill and by then the kids were off to play games and the adults remained at the table for some adult beverages. Peter and Brooklyn really made her birthday special!, later come to find out that Peter is from the same part of the world that we are from, Loved the attention and service that we received on our visit.”

“So, we went there twice. One for dinner and for late lunch. Not dropping names. First, dinner. Service was great and personable. My wife had the macadamia nut crusted fish. She said it was great and tasty. I had the huli huli chicken. It was, eh. The flavor was decent but not a whole half a chicken. There was a breast, leg and very, very small part of a thigh, which is my favorite. Breast
was also kinda dry. I think breasts are very difficult for chefs, happens a lot.
Lunch. Hot wings and cheeseburger. Wings are large and there are 6. Not fried crispy. More of a soft exterior. Personally, not the way to do wings. The flavor was good and unique. Server was young but nice. Difficult for her to look you in the eyes. Overall experience was nice”

The other touches like the authenticity, the ambience, and the service were also great. The chef was quite friendly and the staff was great. They do have an added, automatic gratuity of 20% but it is well earned and deserved. It may be better framed as a service fee or baked into the price, but that would be my only mention to set expectations. Other than that, every single option we chose on the menu (as a party of 2 we ordered 9 different items and each was a delight) not only reads well but is delicious! Their house made soy sauce served with a brush-tool as well as the wasabi in rice was a first time, unique culinary experience for us, and it was nothing short of phenomenal.

RM. 38 205 Lewers St, Honolulu Bar

“I wish I could give this place SEVEN stars, but apparently Google Maps is run by cowards.

RM 38 is, without question, the best bar on the island. And it’s not like the island is out here serving sad gas-station margaritas—there are plenty of world class drinks around. RM 38 is just that far ahead of the pack.

The staff is amazing. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, which makes sitting at the bar feel like dinner theater, except everyone is cooler, the plot involves cocktails, and the ending is always “wow, I need another one.”

The menu is awesome, but if you are overwhelmed or indecisive, just let them work their magic. They will make you something better than whatever you thought your favorite drink was, then casually drop a fascinating story behind it like they are part bartender, part historian, part wizard.”
