Kalo Hawaiian Food by Chai's is a restaurant located on the street level of the Courtyard by Marriott in Waikiki, offering Hawaiian cuisine. The restaurant is independently owned and operated, and has both indoor and outdoor seating.
The restaurant offers a variety of dishes, including the Kalua Pork with hoisin in Chinese Buns, Ahi Poke, Samon Sashimi, Kalua Pork, Beef Kalbi (Short ribs), and Misu Seabass with lobster sauce. The portions are generous and the ingredients are fresh. The Kalua Pork and Ahi Poke were standouts, with the pork being tender and sweet, and the poke having great flavors. However, the short ribs were slightly dry and the lobster sauce in the sea bass dish was simple and "flatter" in flavor profile.
The restaurant also offers a Hawaiian Platter, which is a great option for those who want to try a variety of locally made foods. The platter includes Ahi Poke, Samon Sashimi, Kalua Pork, Beef Kalbi (Short ribs), soup and white rice.
The service is excellent, with the greeter also serving as the server. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming. The restaurant also offers a Haupia Pie for dessert, which is worth trying.
Parking in Waikiki can be difficult and costly, so it is recommended to walk from nearby hotels or take the bus which stops nearby.
Overall, Kalo Hawaiian Food by Chai's is a great option for those looking for delicious Hawaiian food and excellent service in Waikiki.
