Great upscale food, and service. Good cocktails. Fun shopping after dinner in the grocery store it's located in/next to.

The food is excellent. Service is exceptional. Located inside the market. Everyone is friendly. We got the chili crab noodles. Excellent. Beef tartare. Excellent. Cream of mushroom soup. Excellent.

Yelp suggests a reviewer consider food, service and ambience in crafting one's review. Olili hits all three. It is off the main beach walk so somewhat less crowded and it's a bit hard to find. But pet the three criteria, you can't go wrong eating here.

Service was excellent 5 stars. Food was good 4 to 4.5 stars. Parking is limited in the garage next door with validation, so 3 stars there. Being limited mobility, parking close to the restaurant a must. There was only 1 space in the garage remaining when we arrived. All staff was friendly, especially our waiter. I would suggest the chili dungeness crab noodles have a little kick to it since it's called "chili crab" noodles and not chilly crab.

Exquisite experience all around. Nestled in the back of the Waikiki Market, you'd be shocked at the culinary genius happening within this corner of the market. The staff are extremely passionate about the super unique flavors being created here. Bravo to chef and owner!

Great service, food was delicious. Presentation was top notch and the food and drink were the best we had on our trip. Lovely atmosphere with the market in close proximity so we could shop after dinner. Highly recommend checking them out!

It took an hour for the kitchen to make our food. It was pretty good tho once we got it. Or maybe we were just hungry.

Located upstairs inside Waikiki Market. Go upstairs, enter the market, and restaurant is street facing. It's my new late night dessert place, open until 10 pm. They have a selection of coffes/drinks. The matchagato was a yummy matcha drink with ice cream and cinnamon. The lava cake was fun, fancy, with a raspberry filling. I'll come back to try the entrées.

Fantastic. It's inside an upscale grocery market but don't let that fool you, the meal quality and drinks are top notch. Best meal we had on Oahu. Favorites: Kanpachi Portuguese soup, kanpachi crudo, show you smoke

Exceptional service; exceptional food. We were well taken care of. That crab noodle dish is on another level
Very good service and the food was spectacular. I got the Crab Chili Noodles and enjoyed it very much. The duck and beef tartare were amazing and I tried some of the NY Strip as well, it was pretty good. One Con is it is in a peculiar location that may be somewhat hard to find. Overall, very good experience and food 4/5.

One of the best meal we had here in Wikiki! The staff was nice and professional, explained every plate and ingredients origin. The location is easy to find, near the main shopping area but far enough not to feel the crowd. Nice, quite ambience, chic but casual. Presentation of plates was as exceptional as the flavors in every bite. Be sure to leave some room for dessert: they are definitely worth!

This hidden gem has the friendliest staff and food with the biggest flavor. It's a little hard to find, it's inside the supermarket but once you take a seat you're transported to an upscale dining experience. Bold bright flavors in the garlic shrimp rice; decadent richness in the bone marrow. The mud bar was a recommendation from our waiter and it exceeded all expectations. All in all, don't miss this culinary experience!

This place is going to be a sensation. The menu is fairly compact, but it's clear that a lot of focus and attention go into the preparation of each dish. We tried a family style approach which worked well. Every server could explain each dish with enthusiasm and gusto. Desserts were just as good as the entrees and the pupus. Cannot recommend more highly!

Wow! This place was awesome. It's in a nice grocery store but you immediately forget this upon the great service. Food was so fresh, unique, and delicious. Highly recommend the crab noodles! It was also my birthday and they brought me the rainbow cake with a candle, so sweet!
