“I’ve been twice and I really love the Pretzels. I usually get cinnamon bites and I was kind of sus about the way they made it because it didn’t look like the cinnamon sugar got on every pretzel but was so surprised when I ate them all and they all had cinnamon flavor on it. It’s super yummy and the people that rung me up have been super kind. Really love it!!“

“Big City Diner is a great spot for a satisfying breakfast with a relaxed atmosphere. The food is quite good, offering a variety of classic morning dishes that are tasty and well-prepared. Everything feels fresh, and the ingredients seem carefully chosen to start the day right. I also appreciated how clean the restaurant is—tables, floors, and even the counters are spotless, which makes the dining experience pleasant and comfortable.

Service is another highlight. The staff is friendly and efficient, taking orders promptly and serving dishes quickly, so you never feel like you’re waiting too long. Despite being a popular place, the team keeps everything running smoothly.

The space itself is bright and airy, with plenty of natural light and good ventilation, creating a welcoming and open environment. Overall, Big City Diner delivers a solid breakfast experience with good food, quick service, and a clean, spacious setting.“

“Get the huli huli chicken and the kalua pork! Both were tender and juicy! Huge portions, great value“

“This is, hands down, the best restaurant in Hawaii. My wife and I first came here two years ago right after I proposed—it also happened to be her birthday—and we’ve made it our annual tradition to return for her birthday ever since.

​It never disappoints. The Ahi Cigar is a mandatory starter, and the Grilled Romaine is a total sleeper hit—a very pleasant surprise. If you’re a fan of rich flavors, the Bone Marrow is absolutely delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but it’s the consistent quality and memories that keep us coming back every year“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“awesome food, quick courteous service, friendly, good prices, busy but organized, could see the teamwork and they all danced in unison 5.0 stars“

“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.“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“We had a really good experience at Yard House at Waikiki Beach Walk. The food was solid, not over-the-top amazing, but definitely tasty and worth coming back for. We ordered the carnivore pizza, orange chicken, crispy Brussels sprouts, and a few drinks, and everything hit the spot. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and service was friendly without feeling rushed. A great casual option in Waikiki when you want a reliable meal and good drinks.“

“Nice place for breakfast. They have delicious food and friendly service. The prices are a bit higher than in other places, but there is no line here. Portion size is big, so we shared. I liked the papaya boat with granola and berries a lot!“

“Amazing , delicious, out of this world“

“As usual, the Tasting Experience menu option was outstanding! Perfectly paired with uniquely concocted libations of botanicals, fruits, and spirits, each course was a delightful original experience we savored and wished would never end. The impeccable service continues to exemplify the highest standard of how dining out should be — timely, personable, educative and mutually respectful. Hats off again to Head chef Ki Chung and his perfectly choreographed staff, shout out to Jason and Jared!“

“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.“

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

“Delicous, made to order, Vegan meals. Quiet location with a vast menu. Server very polite, suggesting food items while explaining others.

Broccoli, Tofu, Sicilian Chicken Pasta, Lemongrass Tofu, Strawberry Smoothie, Avocado/Banana Smoothie. Everything was flavorful, walked away full. The parking lot is small, however there is parking options near by.“

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

“The restaurant is somewhat small and very rustic, perhaps a bit more rustic than I anticipated.
Five of us for dinner and everyone was completely satisfied and very happy with their dinners. They even had specialty soft drinks for the kids.
I have never been a fan of smoked meats but I did have the smoked prime rib based on the reviews. It was amazing! Juicy, flavorful and tender. My son had the rack of lamb for the first time. He was also very happy with his choice.
Our service was easily as good as the food. Our server was always available, attentive and very pleasant.“

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

“While visiting Hawaii my wife and I decided to try this place based on all the previous suggestions and the views. Upon walking in we were immediately greeted and told us it would be a short wait and it was. The decor was beautiful and there was a live musician playing the acoustic guitar on the side which gave the place a very relaxing vibe. We were lucky enough to get a balcony table. I’d suggest this so you can have a spectacular view of the ocean and the sunset. My wife and enjoyed the warm bread brought to the table served with this delicious strawberry butter. It wasn’t very heavy either. The drinks were really good as well. Our server (actually all of them) Tony was extremely good. He came and checked on us and made sure everything was good with us. When I go back I will definitely look for him. If you’re interested in something relaxing with a classy vibe. I recommend this place.“

“Great service and delicious food! 🩷“

“Great food and great service!“

“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! :)“

“The food, service and value is REALLY good!“

“The pink pancakes at the Pink Palace of the Pacific, what more could you ask for on the world’s most famous beach?

This was an absolute delightful breakfast. We saved it for our last morning in Waikiki and looked forward to it all week. After an early morning surf, we hit the restaurant and enjoyed three orders of the Pink Pancakes. They were garnished so beautifully and had all these fancy little touches.

Take a little bit of the magic home with Pink Pancake Mix from the Royal Hawaiian Bakery further inside the hotel.“

“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!“

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

“Breakfast Buffet located at the Hale Koa Hotel. Affordable, for military and retired guests and hotel guests, less than $30 with ocean views and your common breakfast buffet. We came at the perfect time on a Friday morning before 8am and before the rush arrived. We got a nice outdoor table with the views of the ocean and outside, there are nets so birds can get in. You can order drinks and smoothies for a charge. There is an omelette station and I think you can request special plates, but overall it’s a traditional continental breakfast buffet with salmon eggs benedict, French toast, and some Hawaiian dishes too. Located at the Kalia side of the towers on the side where check in is. The parking garage is across the street from the hotel. You can also charge to your room or pay there, I think my parents got a senior citizen discount. Convenient if you’re staying at this hotel.“

“there’s 5 palm trees at paradise palms (I counted with great difficulty) but the food is great for a quick pick up in between classes. don’t expect michelin stars here.

there’s construction to the south of this place as of writing (Oct 2025) so beware of the noise.“

“Stopped by LBLE bar twice on our NYE trip to Waikiki.

The 1st time, we stopped by for a drink, waiting for our room. We were able to catch the Saturday afternoon football game on the huge TV, grab HH drinks and some lau lau nachos.

The 2nd visit, we went to watch the week 18 49ers vs Seahawks game, we ordered HH drinks and was able to order from Blake's secret menu! Blake went out of his way to make us a rootbeer float.

The great service from Blake the bartender is what drove us to come back for a 2nd visit. We enjoyed our time spent in LBLE Lounge and will definitely visit again when we are in the area. Shout out to Blake for making our visit enjoyable.

We definitely recommend the Guava cooler and the secret menu item rootbeer float!“

“It's my neighborhood so I use it often.This is a Whole Foods store in Kahala Mall, right next to Whole Foods, and although it looks like a pub at first glance, the food is delicious. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy just the food without having to order alcohol.The daily menu is a great deal!I often go on ?Taco Tuesday on Tuesdays. The store opens at 1pm in the afternoon.“
