I felt the food was average and a bit over priced for such a small amount for 2 bite size pieces ribs and polenta. Also there wasn't anything exceptional about the flavor. Although the restaurant had just opened my food was served lukewarm. On a good note , we had the mushrooms for our appetizers and they were a delicious .

We did the Sushi Night and it did not disappoint. We pretty much got everything on the menu. The stand outs were the Super Dragon Roll, Bluefin Toro Roll, and the Crispy Soft Shell Roll. We'll be back for the next sushi night !

Meal and service were superb. Staff was appeopriately attentive. Musician could have turned volume down a little.

Very convivial vibe on the patio! Excellent food- so many good fresh options! Drinks- very good. Our server was very pleasant & attentive.

Everything started out very much on island time. 15 min before anyone even greeted us or with water, but then things fell into place and our waiter was great.

It's always a great experience at Goen. We have been coming here for years. We were surprised and happy to see a Christmas lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal! It wasn't busy and we didn't feel rushed.

We dine at GOEN probably twice a month and its always a wonderful experience. This time it was Christmas day. We were treated like family and the quality of the meal was excellent. Great cooks, great staff. Thank you GOEN.

It was our first time visiting here. It's nice to have a good restaurant by Roy Yamaguchi in Kailua. The food was great and we had an amazing server, Danny, who took care of us. Will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful time at GOEN on a Tuesday happy hour. We ordered all the sides to try a variety of dishes and everyone was fantastic. The music was spot on and our waitress was friendly and helpful.
Had a solo Thanksgiving meal here and it was perfect. The intimate atmosphere and attentive service made me feel welcomed and never alone.

Friendly service, amazing Hawaiian music. Brussel sprouts and cauliflower combo delicious and sushi rolls.

Visited Goen to meet a friend and had a great experience. The space is open, big, and really inviting. A nice place to hang out and catch up. We ordered the beef with mashed potatoes, some sushi, and the fish and chips. Everything tasted good and came out nicely prepared.
We also had a few drinks, and the overall vibe was relaxed and comfortable. There’s parking available, and we didn’t have to wait for a table, which made it even better. Solid spot for a casual meal, drinks, and good conversation. Would return.
