Breakfast buffet - overpriced, even for Hawaii. $31. for a continental breakfast, which includes the omelet station or $48. for the complete buffet. The omelet was great, everything else was just average. It took 8 minutes to get a cup of coffee after I sat down. The coffee cups are also very small, and it is difficult to get a refill. A highlight was that I go a to-go coffee.

Breakfast was delicious ! Didn't have a chance to try the buffet, but the Big Kahuna Breakfast and Egg White with Sausage was the perfect amount of food.

The food was good and very fresh. The Pancakes were excellent. Our server Lok was attentive and made sure our coffee and waters were full. The chef at the omelette station was great. However the restaurant manager Patricia and hostess Trisha were really rude and had zero aloha which is unfortunate because their attitude ruined our experience. I’m sure we aren’t the first guests to encounter their unwelcoming attitude. It also seemed like the staff were afraid of Patricia. The staff are all so hardworking so it’s unfortunate they have to work for such a manager.

I recently dined at the Kuhio Beach Grill’s buffet in the Marriott Waikīkī, and it was an absolute disaster. The au jus steak was completely inedible—the meat itself was so fatty that it couldn’t be enjoyed at all. For the price charged, this level of quality is unacceptable.
The turkey was no better. While I avoided it, my husband ate some and ended up feeling sick later that night. It’s alarming that a meal from a well-known restaurant could cause such discomfort.
The desserts were just as disappointing. The selection was uninspired, and the flavors were bland and forgettable. It was clear that no effort was made to offer guests a proper dining experience.
The only positive aspect was the service. The servers were attentive, friendly, and professional, but even excellent service couldn’t make up for the subpar food.
Given the exorbitant price of this buffet, I cannot stress enough how much of a waste of time and money this was. Avoid Kuhio Beach Grill at all costs—you’ll thank yourself for choosing somewhere else.

Good breakfast buffet with omelette station BUT beware - the price seems to increase year by year and has reached ridiculous levels now (2024) - $50 per person. Also, for $50 you’d expect at least decent coffee but if even Starbucks tastes better than the stuff they serve here, you know you’re being ripped off.

Kuhuio Beach Grill is located within Waikiki Beach Marriott Hotel. We had breakfast buffet at the restaurant. While they do have a wide selection of food, the price was quite steep - $48 plus tax ! (In 2024). Hey had omelette station. Sticky Bun we were told to try was delicious; but a little too sweet. Daisy who took care of us was friendly and helpful.
Vegetarian options: There are plenty of vegetarian options are available.
We went here on our last day and it was fantastic. All the things I had been looking for in a breakfast platter and I was able to build it myself! The waitress was wonderful and the coffee hit the spot! We loved it and only wished we had gone from day one as opposed to our last day!

If you are an elite Marriott bonvoy member, breakfast is free for higher levels.We had breakfast every day while staying at hotel.Our servers kept our drinks filled and empty dishes clear from table. Kudos to that staff of servers, Daisy and Madonna. Exemplary service from our omelet chef (Chuck)after the first day there, knew exactly what we liked and would cook the dishes without us asking and bring it to our table.
Parking: Across from Waikiki Beach so understand only parking to be found is metered parking or paid parking garages

I used it for breakfast. As a Japanese person, it didn't sit well with me. The rice is on the edges, but it's dry and dry, so I don't recommend it. Scrambled eggs are also bad. You can have an omelet on request, but that was the only thing I could eat.I couldn't believe it was a place where I paid $48 per adult to eat. Drinks were also charged separately. Queen's Break at the same hotel was very delicious for dinner yesterday.

My husband and stayed at the Marriott and we had the buffet as a total of 3 times. Depends on how you look at the price, it is a little expensive for a breakfast buffet but we filled up enough to push us through till 6-7pm. If we were to get breakfast and lunch during the day it’s actually more money in comparison to the buffet.The staff are amazing, we had the sameOlder lady every time and she was the kindest lady! We joked around, learnt about each other and I wish I got her name! Her service was amazing, on top of our coffee without having to ask. She 10000% made this experience perfect, everyday I prayed we had her as a waitress!! When we left, we hugged each other and laughed together. I would come here everyday!! The food was good, omelette bar, fresh fruit and the star of it all was the crème brûlée!!!

Very very expensive. Food was good but not $48 a plate. That was just too much money for what you get. Much cheaper better options to choose from on the island.
