“Leilani & Will of Leilani’s Island Tacos catered my daughter’s wedding last evening. Our guests raved about the food and excellent service! We are from out of town and Leilani was so great to work with, arranging everything by phone & email. I highly recommend them! Mahalo Leilani & Will!!“

“Wonderful experience, Korean Steak entree was amazing and Fresh Fish entree with macadamia nut pesto was delicious. Excellent service and vibe. Highly recommend.“

“We found this spot just driving around and we were VERY glad we did. Ordered the yaki soba pork and yaki soba chicken- the portions were HUGE and so delicious! We also ordered the pot stickers and had to get a 2nds. I’d go back again if I had a chance!“

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!“

“We've driven by Roy's for years, and decided to go there on our “date night.” The restaurant is nicely laid out and we dined in the second floor main dining room. The view of the mountains and ocean was a wonderful complement to the evening. Our server Luke was attentive and helpful with my wife's gluten allergy. She had a broiled swordfish with butter, garlic and their lobster cream sauce - perfectly cooked and delicious. I had the fish trio and all I can say is “Wow!” Ahi was amazing, the macadamia swordfish was perfect, and the butterfish, well, you have to try this!! Delish!! We finished this meal with their molten chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream - another amazing taste treat (a lava cake but who's complaining?!). All in all, a 5 star meal which we'll remember for our next island visit.“

“Fabulous Food and wonderful staff !! Wine list is also terrific!!“

“They are the BEST!!! My favorite is the garlic chicken! Everytime I come home for a visit I HAVE to come and eat here ❤️❤️❤️“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“Great food, great location, great happy hour wine pours! It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I’ll be coming back.“

“This is now my go-to pasta place. The taste of the food is great. Food is delicious and not salty.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Families bring their kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: ADA accessible with ADA parking in front.“

“My first time here after seeing them on tv. So glad the worker tied the bag of my 3 plates tightly and that they use strong plastic containers. I took a sharp turn and my bag flipped to the side. My food shifted a little in the container, but at least it didn’t spill out or leak out of the containers. Love the hamburger steak with crispy onions! Omg, the special parmesan chicken was huge!! This was ono too. Will definitely go back there again. ❤️“

“Curry shrimp was amazing!“

“Food is so delicious and staff extremely helpful and attentive“

“My son and I stopped here to grab lunch. He got the popcorn shrimp and I got the shrimp sandwich. He also ordered a passion pineapple with jellies. It was good lunch on the run. And. The woman taking orders was kind and friendly!! I don’t eat chicken so I was so grateful for the shrimp alternative!!“

“Soooooooo good!! Can’t wait to go back! Gonna be dreaming of the oxtail soup for days!“

“This has no business being as good as it is in a mall food court. So much flavor! I got the shrimp pineapple curry with blue rice. It also came with half an egg, cucumber, peanuts and little dried fish. I didn't quite finishe it, so it was more like a meal and a half for me. This white girl can't handle spice so I appreciate that it was not spicy but still had so much flavor!“

“Had a celebration of life at 3660 on the Rise. Coordinator was so easy to work with and gave so much information and was in constant communication. The staff were all so helpful with set up, service, tending to guests and clean up. The food was really good too! Had a heavy appetizer "lunch" and everyone went home filled. The crab and cream cheese won tons, garlic chicken and meatballs were standouts of the line up. Construction was going on on the outside of the building so the view was a little obstructed, but inside the building was well maintained, great temperature, simple A/V set up. Dedicated parking structure with validation made it easy for guests.“

“This is a great place for a special night out. We were both hankering for a great meal. They delivered in style!“

“Straits hosted us for a large group gathering (~20 people). They were very accommodating in making the reservation. The service was excellent and all the pupu's were delicious. Many of the group participants mentioned they had a great time and were all impressed with the venue. I highly recommend Straits Hawaii as venue for both individual dinners and larger gatherings.“

“My husband is traveling for work and staying at the Marriott where this restaurant is located.

He stopped in for dinner yesterday. The restaurant is well appointed and very clean.

The staff was friendly and attentive. He ordered the spicy ahi poke bowl.
He said it was very good

The portion was enough for a meal, but he didn’t have any leftovers. However, I think that is OK considering he’s in a hotel anyway.

He said he will definitely be back again during his stay. The restaurant is convenient because it’s located in the hotel, and the food is good.“

“I love Marugame Udon! The location was great, there was no line, and the food was made instantly. I got the BK sauce ontama with an extra egg and it was only $10! So filling, yummy, and decently priced. As a broke college student struggling with the prices of O’ahu, this restaurant is a blessing. Will be back 100%.“

“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!“

“I can't say it's very delicious
The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice.
They provide refills for coffee, and the quantity is plentiful. It's a good place. Recommended for those who want a pleasant meal“

“Delicious healthy charming garden deck in back. yummy 💖“

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

“A cozy little Vietnamese cafe offering a wonderful variety of dishes. I enjoyed the Pho` Combo. Good size portion at a good price. The broth was delicate and delicious served piping hot. I have some concerns about black pepper in the broth but it didn't stop me from enjoying it all the same. The staff was friendly and eager to please. I can see myself making a detour to have lunch here in the near future.“

“there’s no shortage of good poke bowls in honolulu. this place is above average definitely but just short of special. its a solid takeout counter with very limited seating. i love that they give you miso soup on the side, which is awesome. i got the crunch bowl, and appreciated that they fresh fried the ebi tempura, instead of a big batch that sat around. so the owners really care about quality and presentation. i also like that they didn’t drown it in sauce. i think some may balk at the smaller portions, but it was just right for me. good choice if you are in the area“

“Love the food. Delicious. Fresh and hot“

“The appetizers of zucchini and pita were both unique and very tasty wanting us begging for more! The fish trio was sensational, perfectly cooked, and the sauces and accompaniments just delicious... enough for two to share. Jeremy, our waiter provided exceptional service and made sure our wedding anniversary celebration exceeded expectations.“

“Let me start with a confession:
I'm not a big kale fan. I've on occasions, dutifully gnawed through it post-gym while questioning both my life choices and the meaning of joy. But my brother loves kale and asked if I would share a kale salad, with him. After a couple glasses of wine, I'm pretty agreeable to most things except giving up wine.

Then snap... that was like not just one of the best kale salads I've ever had but one of the tastiest salads ever! The kale itself was moist, tender yet firm and didn't have the usual cardboard flavor and texture. The papaya seed dressing was bright and tangy, but the real star was the crispy garlic chips -- earthy, toasty flavor bombs that added a wonderful crunchy texture to the salad.

The oysters from Washington were plump and meaty, with that briny ocean essence followed by a milky, rich finish. They came with a couple of side sauces but I'm a purist when it comes to oysters. Just give me a lemon wedge and a dash of tobacco.

The Kampachi Crudo- Thin, silky slices of fish, cut to a nice thickness that gave a wonderful chew, with a hint of citrus and a light touch of truffle yaki. It was fresh and refreshing , clean, and flavorful -- simple but memorable. Love it when a chef resists the urge to smother the dish -- just some tasty support and let the fish do the rest.

For the main, we shared the butterfish kamameshi. The fish was slightly overcooked -- a little firmer and dryer than I'd prefer -- but the flavor was there. The seasoned furikake rice underneath almost stole the spotlight. Layered with flavors and cooked perfectly . The vegetables including daikon added texture, and those crispy bits of rice at the bottom of the cast iron pot? Total food gold.

The Service :

My brother and I sat at the bar -- always my first choice, and after more than a decade behind one, still where I feel most at home. The service is faster , the energy more dialed up . At the bar, the world comes at you with the good, the bad, and the downright messy. You learn to duck and weave, toast and cheer, and take it all in--one slurp of wine at a time. It's like having a seat at the chef's table, but instead of watching tweezers and foam, you hear the shaking of martinis and the stirring of spirits. And even now, from the other side of the rail, it still feels like the best seat in the house for me. And don't get me started about the people watching.

Huge shoutout to Sasha, our bartender for the night. She was handling drinks for the entire dining room, yet still made us feel like honored guests in her little corner of the chaos. Always checking in on us with a warm smile. It resuscitated old muscle memory from my own nights in the trenches. Respect Sasha!!

The Atmosphere:

Beautiful and comfortable interior with a laid back elegance. A blend of modern and Hawai'i plantation. Elegant enough for a date night yet casual enough for shorts and slippers. A guitar player with a Fender Strat skillfully filled the empty spaces between conversations .

Will definitely be back!
Happy Eating!!“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“this place is a Crazy Rich Asian vibe and i love it. Chef Anthony and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. A family style, off-menu 9 dish dinner was delicious. i was full by dish 7 and barely had enough room for dish 9(desert).

BTW, this place is PERFECT for private events!“

“One of my favorite go-to places on the island! The dishes are always tasty and fresh, and I especially love the combination of shiso rice, green salad, and a meat dish. The meals are well-balanced — with vegetables, protein, and light carbs — making it a great option for anyone looking to eat healthy without sacrificing flavor.“

“Very tasty food . Punjabi roti awesome“

“Hamamatsu style gyoza is awesome delicious! Ramen is great. Love those tonkatsu bites! Sapporo on tap. This is going to be our new favorite ramen joint!“

“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.“

“a bit pricey but food is really good“

“I tried their sampler. From left to right, i got:

- Holy Krab
- Tacobella
- BAE
- In & Out
- Let’s Avocuddle

The rolls were the perfect balance of a crunchy shell on the outside with softer wrapper layers on the inside. The rolls were not too oily either.

The Holy Krab was amazing. It was like a creamy crab croquette in a roll. The Let’s Avocuddle was also a stand out. I like my meat, but this vegetarian option was surprisingly good.

There was also a cheese(?) sauce, sweet chili sauce, and salsa. The cheese sauce is literal crack“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Day 6 in Hawaii...
I had a hard time eating, so I thought about it and found Korean food.
It was so good
The fried rice with pork and kimchi fried rice is really...😍I think it will be the most memorable meal I ate in Hawaii!!
It was a good meal! 👍“

“What an incredible atmosphere! The staff was so accommodating and efficient. Such a beautiful establishment. Delicious food and the best drinks!“

“We recently dined at Phở Minh Thư and had a fantastic experience! We ordered two special phở and the spring rolls with grilled pork, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The phở had a rich and flavorful broth, and the portions were generous. The spring rolls were fresh and packed with delicious ingredients.

The food was not only delicious but also great value for the portion sizes. We will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend Phở Minh Thư for anyone craving authentic and tasty Vietnamese food.“

“Great sushi spot in Kaimuki. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and full of flavor—it’s clear they take pride in using quality ingredients. The menu offers a great variety, from classic rolls to unique specialty items.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick—perfect for a takeout spot. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, making it a great value for the quality you get.“

“Amazing food everything is so so good“

“Wonderful lunch! Thank you“

“Seeking shelter from the rain on my motorcycle and found this super friendly local bar and everyone introduced themselves. Ended up ordering the cheeseburger…you get 2…and it has the most ono cheese sauce. Mahalo for the shelter and grinds.“

“May2025 Bar that is located at a local favorite spot foodie court. Had to try the interesting spiked boba drink. Pretty good.
