Blue Ocean Seafood & Steak

Stay away from the seafood, i had the lobster and Mahi on Wednesday March 19th, I've been on the toilet since 9am.....the Lobster had an ammonia smell to it....I should have stopped eating immediately. The Mahi was overcooked.....I was only 5 minutes away from my hotel at the most Hyatt Regency Waikiki....so it's not as it degraded because of travel.

Purchased a few different dishes which they recommended were their most popular seafood options: Mahi mahi, Salmon, garlic shrimp, fish and chips. All of the dishes were just terrible. Zero flavor, ingredients you could tell were not good quality/fresh. It’s like they used air as seasoning and cooked it beside the sun cause the fish was so dry it was basically cardboard at this point. Although location is very convenient, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Haha please please save your money. You’re better off buying yourself food at the ABC store. I can’t tell if people are lying with their reviews cause there’s no way this place has 4 stars 💀

Unfortunately, this is not a place that I would recommend. The service was great, but food was not enjoyable. They have a huge variety of dishes. We ordered two combos (I don’t remember the exact names), but it was fish and shrimps combo and beef and chicken kebab combo. The Seasoning they use made beef, shrimps and chicken taste about the same. Beef was hard to chew on even though it was cut in small skewers. Rice was well overcooked.

Unfortunately I really wanted to like this place, it was located 2 minutes from our condo. It had great atmosphere and was relatively clean. The food looked delicious in the pictures on the side of the food truck. But the food was HORRIBLE!! The shrimp was definitely frozen and thawed a couple times to where it would disintegrate in your mouth and taste very fishy. I made the mistake of ordering the “prime rib” which is just a thin, fatty ribeye with zero taste. The salad was brown and just chopped up old Romain lettuce , 60% of my salad was the stem and wasn’t edible. Overall this another example of over priced food truck with bad food catering to tourist to make a buck.

Check your order before you leave - we got charged for 12 shrimp but only received 8. Food is fine but overpriced.

Frozen seafood. Not so great tasting. The salad was just lettuce. Shrimp kabob was ok. Not worth the price.

Food didn’t seem frozen which is why I give them a 2 * in food, fried calamari had octopus which I’ve never seen before I ate a few but not a big fan in octopus, fried calamari was a bit too chewy for me. My wife had a Hawaiian kebab meat was ok but had too much pepper. This place all in all is not bad but is far from great. Too many options makes this place a jack of all trades master of none.

ABSOLUTELY regret it. We ordered the kimchee fried rice WITH chicken and this is what we got. Zero chicken and not even half the portion they show in the menu. Completely disappointed and they should be embarrassed they served this. Not to mention it took 40 minutes to get this order.

The price is around 19~24 dollars.
While I'm worried because there are too many menus
My wallet left on the table disappeared.
I realized within 5 seconds that my wallet was gone.
I was confused... I asked the employee who was taking out the trash.
We gave it to the boss who was taking orders on the truck. The wallet arrived safely in our hands. It was a mental breakdown, but they still looked for it without having it themselves? Thank you for giving me a $1 tip. The food was delicious and the portions were plentiful.
However, if you say you will package it, they will do it, but they will not give you a plastic bag to take with you.

A lot of items on the menu, it takes more time to decide what to eat. At dinner time it could be a bit difficult to find a table. Food is a bit pricey depending on what you eat vs what is available at other places where you just grab and go.

I ate there twice during my visit to Waikiki in January. The food was fine though the second time I ordered to take home and when I got home I found the wrong food order.

Pigeons literally walking on our pizza behind the counter! But the staff was nice.

Edited: to 4 stars because they responded quickly and said they'd address the issue.

I ordered a pizza, went to check at the window to see if it was done, and saw a literal pigeon standing on a pizza crust with sauce, walking around, and eating the pizza crust next to the one it was standing on. Employee didn't see me. They just shoo'ed the bird away and then left the two pizza crust and sauce in the line up to be covered with cheese. I received my pizza and promptly threw it away.

This has become our go-to destination as soon as we touch down. We've been frequenting this place for several years now.

Typically, we stroll from our hotel to this spot. However, in recent years, the surrounding establishments have declined, making the immediate area feel a bit sketchy.

Nevertheless, the food here is absolutely delicious! Be sure to come hungry and with a bit of patience, as everything is made fresh. It can take some time to receive your order, especially during busy hours.

As with most places in Hawaii, it is somewhat pricey. For example, we ordered two adult meals, one child meal, and drinks, and our total exceeded $60.

My only minor complaint is that the tables could use a good cleaning—they tend to be sticky and not very pleasant.

Unfortunately, our dinner here was not great. I ordered the fish tacos, which turned out to be a dry, unseasoned piece of crumbed deep-fried fish tossed into a tortilla with some salad—no dressing or seasoning.

The worst part was the stinky pigeons that pestered diners non-stop. They wouldn't leave, even when shooed, and if they did flutter away, they perched above and dropped dander all over the table. It was disgusting and a health risk.

Service was extremely slow, even though we arrived early to avoid the rush. This only made the pigeon issue worse, as they annoyed us the entire time we waited for food.

I wouldn’t recommend dining here—considering the overpriced flavourless food and s-l-o-w service, better to grab a few ingredients and make your own and avoid this tourist trap altogether.
