“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!!“

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

“This was one of the most perfect restaurants I have ever been to. Absolutely lovely atmosphere, great tunes, spacious seating area but doesn’t feel sparse, very tentative staff who had our food and drinks ordered and served within minutes. The food itself was outstanding; I can honestly say it was some of the best food on our trip! Would highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Icon scene on Waikiki Beach! Top notch service. 🌺“

“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.“

“Great food and wonderful service!“

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

“Great food and wonderful service!“

“Clam chowder was very good and came out hot. Hen of the wood mushroom salad was very good also. Smoked prime rib was a little tough, not much smoke flavor but portion size was good. A group of women were seated on the same table as us next to the window and even though there were on the other end of the table, they were so loud talking and laughing it was quite distracting.“

“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“

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

“Lunch at Mariposa is usually a good choice for a business meeting or lunch with the girls. It's convenient and view is relaxing. Audrey serviced us well and was helpful and considerate. Food was always good. Love my laksa curry! Room was little stuffy and warm. We are not sure if the windows needed to be opened for more breeze to come through. Love the location and restaurant.“

“One of the best values in Honolulu dining. Start with the Happy Hour 4:30-6:00 PM $4 well drinks. Continue to their delicious furikake chicken and beef & pork sliders pupus. If you still have room any one of their main dishes will do it. With live music on Fridays this place is a Chinatown gem. Have fun. They deserve your business. Easy underground parking across the street.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“We started with a share plate of one night in Bangkok spicy shrimp. These were divine with just enough spice! Following this we had the grilled salmon. The sweet and spicy mustard glaze was delicious. Would have like a little more of this. We dined here twice during our stay in Waikiki. Our waiter, Tyler was very attentive and provided excellent service. The atmosphere was great with some flashbacks tunes playing in the background.“

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

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

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.“
