“The Food Company is amazing in that it offers an expansive menu, PLUS the best service and kindness in working with special current food restrictions. The food for our recent party with guests from our islands, plus mainland cities and Australia, called for varied tastes. The Food Company offered perfect selections, getting raves!! Everything was delicious. Fair prices and excellent value!!“

“Located aboard MCBH- Kaneohe Bay. The Staff club is one of very few places on the island where they still abide by the old military standards: no covers on the bar (buy a round for the bar), no entry covered (by a round for the club), proper civilian attire, etc... There's a wall of beer steins for the regulars and amazing staff! Trivia night is on Thursdays and First Fridays are always a sight to behold.“

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“Best fresh chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! Every time I’m on Oahu I make time to get a bite to eat here!!“

“Came here for a Business Meeting Food was great Drinks were as always delicious Music was a little too loud (we had to yell over it, but our table was close to the musicians on top of Bose speakers amplifying the sound) but the music was absolutely amazing !!!“

“Fresh seafood prepared how you like it! Delicious and a must if you are in Maui. I had the Ono in white wine,garlic and butter. Served over Cajun rice. The portions are very generous.“

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again“

“It was a little confusing entering and trying to figure out if it was open seating bc there was no one to approach us for seating. There’s two selections of seating one in the bar and the other in the restaurant side. We ended up getting the restaurant side bc it was a little bit quieter. But the our waitress was great and our food was delicious ? I would recommend the pizza and the pasta ? the pizza crust was really good ??☺️ highly recommend.“

“Aside from great food, Shar who helo us makes this dinner special to celebrate our wedding anniversary and hubby's birthday. Her friendly attitude and helped us to enjoy our food.“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“The staff are very friendly. Our waitress Dede was excellent. The sunset view is breathtaking. If you are in Waikiki stop by this bar and grill you will not be disappointed.“

“I came here on 2 seperate occasions and I have a mixed rating for it.

I would say the food is excellent. Very very good stuff.... but the wait time is atrocious.

I had an aloha smash burger, a loco Dog, and a chicken sandwich on the 2 trips. The food was fresh, great tasting and the fries were outta this world tasty.

Now onto the issues. I work in the food industry and have ran pretty much every cuisine under the sun. I have done so for 15 years and I think the wait times are ridiculous. Both times I went there I literally had to wait 50 minutes one night and an hour and 10 minutes the next night for food.

I would have just gotten a refund and went somewhere else if other places were open because while the food is absolutely top notch, the wait times make it not worth it and there wasnt many people ahead of us either of those times. 7 customers first night, 9 customers the longer night.

I understand they are working out of a small area with limited resources but it seems as though they have outgrown their space. 50-70 minutes for a burger, fries, and hot dogs is ridiculous any way you slice it.

Those guys are working hard and they're ingredients are fresh but from one chef to the next, you need to expand to a new area to allow yourself to grow. Working off of a small flat top and a table top plug in deep fryer will not being able to keep up with the demand and im hoping for the sake of your restaurant, it doesn't tarnish your reputation because as I said above..The food is phenomenal and these guys can cook up a mean dinner.

Only issue is they are holding themselves back from moving to the next level with the small space and crazy wait times.

When you can only do one ticket at a time because of limited space, the current work model isnt going to work out long term. I dont mind a wait for good food but I have to admit, this was the longest wait time Ive ever experienced for food in any setting.

I hope you guys live long and prosper because you know how to cook some great food. Take the risk and jump into a bigger space, I have faith you will be successful.

Only hesitation I have in returning again in the future is placing an order at 9pm but not being able to eat until after 10pm even if the food is phenomenal.“

“So welcoming ❤️ simple dinner or a drink at night next to the beach, priceless“

“TLDR: Melissa is AWESOME! But, if you are gluten free (ie no soy sauce with wheat) or allergic to mushrooms, you can’t eat here.

My husband and I combined have those allergies and Melissa was very kind to ask the chef if we could be accommodated. Unfortunately it wasn’t possible. Melissa was so respectful of how she informed us - aaaaaaand then offered us a complimentary cocktail (which was on point) and a reservation down the road at a nice restaurant that she knew could accommodate our allergies!

I don’t envy her for effectively having to kick us out, but she (and the entire staff) were so gracious to us. Thank you Melissa!“

“Super nettes freundliches aufmerksames Personal Thank you Danielle T ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Das Frühstück war sehr lecker Die Preise voll in Ordnung Sterne ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Weiterzuempfehlen LG Dörte“

“Great food and wonderful service!“

“Brunch was very good as we had the Prime Rib dip sandwich. Service was friendly but, with only one server and one cook- it was slow service. The biggest issue with the ambiance is that they need to have better upkeep. Bathrooms were pretty filthy and disgusting- they need to be refurbished. I think it could be a great neighborhood restaurant with a spruce up and more help.“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“we have eaten there twice once for dinner the chicken and rice in pineapple so delicious and for breakfast a ham egg and cheese croissant the were big portions would highly recommend“

“Food is absolutely delicious!... Anyday, any special“

“Great atmosphere! Staff was wonderful! Recommend you give it a try!“

“美味しくいただけました。日本語メニューがなく無難なものを選ばざるを得なかったことが残念でした。 世界中から来店あると思うので、コストがかからないサービスは改善の余地があると思います。“

“Vandaag geweest met een vriendin We werden geholpen door bas Wat een aanwinst En het brood carpaccio ...heerlijk“

“Great place. I stop in most days. Very friendly employees that remember you. When I have large orders for work, they get it done pretty fast too! :)“

“Wonderful experience! From the friendly staff to the great tasting food I highly recommend this place!! Must try the jalapeño & bacon fried rice and all pancakes. (Had seconds of it) Olani St location.“

“Great wine pairing dinners!!!!! And always a fabulous sunset. What more could you want these days?“

“A very friendly and welcoming place, had great Kahlua pork sliders on taro buns and drinks, the owner came out and talked to people and was very nice and spent time with us talking, would recommend for a nice calm and relaxing meal and atmosphere.“

“best breakfast sandwiches and French toast I ever had! Ono af“

“We have been to Senia before and it is always a great experience. The four of us pick several snacks from the top of the menu and fill in with various sides. We have never been disappointed and this time we tried the Roasted Bone Marrow, what a treat! Josh, our waiter said we would pick this every time we come back and he is right! We also loved the mushroom and cheese tarts with the gruyere foam and mushroom powder. There was a discussion about another order but, we had several more dishes coming. Kabocha Squash Agnolotti is a must for the many flavors. Yikes everything was great!“

“I and a couple of other retirees discovered Pur Sina when they opened and have been weekly customers ever since. Their small kitchen limits the menu choices, but what they offer is tasty and reasonably priced. The pleasant customer-oriented staff has made it serve as a home away from home for us, and we have always felt welcomed. If/when they leave, they will be sorely missed.“

“First time here. Was delicious and surprised me that a good breakfast was right here at Windward Mall Ruby Tuesday. I had the deconstructed Loco Moco. The hamburger patty was spot on. Go try it out. Ask for Brandon. Unless you goin complain then ask for Nick.“

“Great coffee hash brown you have to pay extra not good“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“The best High Tea we've had, including The Fairmont in a few key cities. Excellent!!“

“Fantastic 100pet cent swim bar staff amazing service fantastic 🍹.“

“We couldn’t dine outside because it was being used for a group booking, but really enjoyed a cozy table for two inside - great temperature! Shared the steak and eggs plate - wonderful, and delicious coffee (both hot and iced!). Service was exceptional. And, thank you, Walt, for directing us upstairs! We’ll be back on our next trip!“

“Long time since I visited this place… I missed their Mix Plate with salads! It was a bit after lunch time, so I didn’t wait for long to be served. My mixed plate was chicken katsu and mochiko chicken. My friend got beef cutlet and roast pork Mixed Plate. Both is us thoroughly enjoyed our lunch plate! Asian salad was just right flavor with sesame oil and fried wanton. A little extra was chow fun under the meat. And the price was really reasonable here!! ($15 each). Parking lot is just next to the restaurant, very convenient. It was really satisfied day for me.“

“Lovely people work there!“

“Good food and staff Great service“

“OMG. Best.Tacos.Ever. Hadn't read reviews, just stopped while walking through the neighborhood. We're not foodies, not overly impressed by fancy plating or odd combos, but loved the great food and super-size portions at this small funky family-run restaurant just outside of Waikiki. The fish and kal-bi tacos were rich with flavor, the surprise of tuna in the mac salad was creamy and delicious, and the crunchy sweet coleslaw brought all the flavors together. Broke da mout', for realz!“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“First time ever to enjoy a Hard Rock Cafe and it was Great! Our server was polite, attentive and fun. The environment was energized and fun. The food was delicious and the cocktails even better! We enjoyed a wonderful band. The whole experience was super!“

“Amazing dinner and friendly staff from bar to dining room! Our must every time we visit Oahu!“
