What a wonderful brunch to go to where it's not overwhelming in noise levels and being rushed out the door. After the hostess took a while to find my reservation, I don't know why, the rest of our time there was exceptional. The wait staff was friendly and service was great. I loved all the menu items I chose - specifically the grilled lobster tails which our waiter suggested in lieu of the cold lobster tails with cocktail sauce. The prime rib with Au jus sauce, sashimi, crab legs and every dessert was yummy. I can't wait to go back.

We were staying at the hotel to celebrate multiple family member's birthdays. When we arrived we were sat at a table near the front with a pristine view of the ocean. We even got to see the beautiful sunset. Major points right off the bat for this. Service was prompt and excellent. The server engaged with all of us but especially my 5 year old daughter. He made her laugh and feel special by bringing her food first, and even provided a sweet treat to end her meal. The food was on point. My uncle and I had the salmon and the rest of the party had the short ribs and pasta. Everything was artistically presented and delicious. The only thing that could have been better was the portion of the salmon. The kids portion and adult portion was nearly identical. Again, overall everything was great and we will be back. I work in the restaurant industry and understand how costs are ridiculous right now. I also enjoy great service and ambiance, which were above 5 stars!

We had a wonderful time. But I was dismayed when I learned the coffee and iced tea drinks were not included with the meal for $110 per person. I know the people in our group did not eat $110 worth of food. All in all, the experience was wonderful. Thank you for the window seat. Momi Clark

Outstanding experience. Menue, service and ambiente were perfect for our wedding celebration. Thanks and Mahalo for everything
We got married at The Kahala Hotel, now we always make it a point to come back to Hoku's for our Anniversary dinner! It is always guaranteed good service and eats, hands down 2 thumbs up!

Hoku's is a great place for a special occasion. The grand tasting menu is a reasonable deal when compared with other prix fixe places like l'atelier or Gary Danko. Only suggestion I would make to the restaurant is to bring back the whole opakapaka fish dish as an ala carte item.

Been here many times, unfortunately quality of the food is not the same the pork was very dry and scarce. Poke was not fresh. 
Opentable Diner
The overall experience was delightful. The ambiance was relaxed yet contemporary; Charlotte was very friendly as was the gentleman who was assisting her; the food was superb. The lobster/chicken ala carte, short ribs, and the salmon were all prepared to perfection. The mayo/cream fraiche dip was outstanding.

Hoku's has been our go to restaurant for the best Buffet. We were very sad when it was discontinued during the Covid outbreak. However now that it has returned, we are extremely happy with the food and the staff, many of whom have been with Hoku's for decades.
Fantastic buffet, outstanding view of the ocean, friendly staff, and wonderful seating.

I highly recommend the lobster risotto! Better than Gordon Ramsey hells kitchen. I loved the service and complimentary bread and spread. Drinks are fabulous. Great views Free self parking and valet service with validation. Salmon dinner entree was great too. I'm not a fan of pre fix menus bc too much food for me. They do have Ala cart menu. Desserts too.

We did the grand tasting menu to celebrate our 25th anniversary; and at one point we both looked up at each other and asked “is this the best meal we’ve ever had”? And spoiler; it was. The staff is amazing and the Chef should be made a national treasure. We loved it so much we are going back to celebrate tonight for my birthday with my the visiting children. Amazing meal, amazing service, amazing views. Absolutely could not recommend more for a phenomenal experience.

Our expectations exceeded the delivery of an excellent culinary experience. First the service and atmosphere were excellent. We had the grand tasting and tasting option. There was a very heavy emphasis on milk fat on most courses. The creativity of any flavors were drowned by cream or butter. The wagyu was excellent- (and dairy free)! Overall, we hope this was a one off experience- the table next to us had similar feedback. We had better meals at other fine dining restaurants on the island..

サンデーブランチで行きました。ロブスターやプライムリブが最高でした。また静かでした。 お祝いですか？と最初に聞かれ、結婚記念日と伝えたらフリーでケーキくれました。 ソフトドリンク、コーヒー、ティーはお金かかります。
