“By far one of the best meals my family and I ever had. The canoe appetizer was off the charts and the meals were even better. The ahi tuna and both the 16 is cab steak and the wagyu A-5 6oz was incredible and the desserts were even better. Highly recommend”
“I booked this restaurant for an after proposal celebration with my now fiancé, the staff at this restaurant was honestly so amazing and I couldn’t have asked for more, they seated us in a private section near the pond and instantly supplied us with a glass of complimentary champagne and multiple congratulations to us, at the end they supplied a complimentary dessert showing congratulations on it, the food was amazing and the service was top notch. I could not have asked for a better experience at this restaurant.”
“We loved everything about chiefs luau! It was highly entertaining with the stories, humor and dancing! They all are extremely talented! The food was fantastic! This luau is one of the highlights of my vacation!
We used their transportation and it was great! The guide was so good, she was funny and entertaining! She had a lot of good information and taught us a lot of Hawaiian words!”
“Took family for first time here! Food was excellent. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. They have an incredible takeout business. The food was fresh well presented and delicious.
We only ordered two meals and shared them, and there was plenty of food for four people
We even topped it off with Rotee for dessert with vanilla ice cream and Tapioca with ube! Everything we ate was nothing I had ever had before, and it was all very delicious
Kid-friendliness: There was a family with children next to us and they had no problems finding yummy things to eat
Wheelchair accessibility: We had one walker and one cane, and there was ample parking and easy access to the table”

“Make no mistake about it this place is going to give cookie corner a run for their money. From scratch! Made with love! Fresh baked! What else could you ask for from a bakery such as this. Being a Chef i have a certain standard about food establishments and Crumbl sets the bar high. Yes I am a big fan of the former mentioned place, but Crumbl is unique. Here they have a rotating menu and aren'tass producing anything which I can highly appreciate being a farm to table Chef transplant from California. No question about it I will be back. If I may make a suggestion or requests make peanut butter cookies with peanut butter chips, and make peanut butter thumb print cookies. Nobody does these anymore. And lastly, from scratch, no bake cheesecake but use your cookies instead of the "graham cracker crust" thank me later. Keep up the good work. Highly recommend for any sweet tooth!
PS if you need a fail safe receipt let me know. I was featured in Sunset Magazine.”
“Having a hot pot after snorkeling is definitely a good choice ??? i like the atmosphere when I came in all staffs are nice just like you are visiting your aunt's home.
We ordered curry and beef pho base, they made by many ingredients makes both more flavorful.
There are many choices of broth and ingredients. You can make your own style hot pot!!”
“They have a lot of interesting Foods. I tried several and took them home and most everything was good but some things I had no idea what they were. But my son was with me and four of his children are Japanese American and they know what they are and so does he he spent probably 10 years in Japan. So it was a great experience. And I would highly recommend.”

“while in Oahu if you can get to Kapahulu worth the trip to MY CAFE! great food and service, the Maladsda hopia pancakes are to die for sweet great crunch outside inside light and fluffy!
Vegetarian options: there are lots of options and items you csn tweak to make your own”
“*Parking: Parking available
*Overall review: Waiting time for weekend lunch is 40-50 minutes. Ingredients are fresh and plentiful. Seasoned food is okay, but I recommend eating it as sashimi or sushi. 100% intention to revisit
There aren't many seats at the restaurant, but it's popular so the wait is long. There are a lot of take out orders as well.
Come with miso soup or hot tea before ordering!
I waited a long time, but it was great value for money, it was delicious, and the food came out quickly!
I was surprised that the sashimi was 2-3 times the size of other places, and the fish was so fresh that it melted in your mouth. Highly recommended!
What was disappointing was that the Spicy Ahi don had a strong sesame oil taste, so it was a bit greasy.
I recommend ordering mainly sushi or sashimi where you can taste fresh ingredients rather than seasoned ones :)
-Hamachi Sashimi $8.95
-Salmon Sashimi $8.95
-Spicy Ahi Don $12.95
-Dynamite Roll $7.95
-Soft-shell Crab $7.95”
“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...”
“We highly recommend Moani island Bistro.The owners have created a wonderful choice of food and all of the staff are awesome! Their food was delicious and the wait staff especially Raina and the two brothers that work the bar were so much fun. The owner came out and introduced herself. We loved it so much we went three times on our stay! 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This was such an excellent surprise. The atmosphere, the lighting, the drinks, the service and of course the food. It’s been 2 weeks since we’ve dined here, and my husband literally dreams about the truffle gyozas. They’re an absolute must try!!
Every dish we had was great, the bibimbap, the bao buns, but the gyozas topped the cake!”
“Go for.the atmosphere. Food is OK, some.of.it good. Some.of it unplayable for a southern taste from the southeast. Expensive for a family of six but glad I went. Disney service all the way.
Brought kids plate out first which made adults going to buffet easier. Server came by frequently checking in on us.
Plenty of time for food and they don't start show until 1 hour after food getting starts so you don't have to rush and miss any of the show.
Perfect timing of everything.
Quality is excellent. I'm just not a fan of the kind of foods.”
“The food, service and atmosphere was really good. They were accommodating for our group. I got the Spaghetti and Meatballs only because I tried the meatballs the last time we went and it delicious! Juicy with the perfect amount of seasoning. My only suggestions are: - Must have bread to go with Italian meal. - Get Tiramisu as dessert then ask for takeout container. I bought a slice to take home and it was about 2/3 the size of what was served at the table. And I even tipped them even though it was only a dessert. Very disappointed but it is delicious. Definitely would go again and I recommend eating there.”
“The Sunday Buffet was amazing. The service and food are amazing and theblocation outside with music was perfect for a breakfast in January. Will definitely go again when we come back to the island.”
“It's fun and kids love dancing with Chuck E. Cheese & with awesome food.”

“We came on a whim and luckily we did. Everything from the bahn mi to the phõ selection was delicious and they have a huge vegetarian selection. I would definitely come back if in the area again. Service was excellent as well and there's lots of parking given it's in the shopping mall area.”

“We went here twice for breakfast while staying at Aulani. It was a cheaper option, and the food was wonderful. The bacon jalapeno fried rice hit the spot without breaking the bank. We shared the fruit pancakes with that and were very satisfied. We walked, but there were a few parking spots.”
“Best ramen on the island. I get the spicy creamy vegan. My fiance always gets spicy tanaka and in his words it's "always money." The place is small and it's cute but there's not enough room to have privacy and intimacy (that's hawaii real estate tho!) Bonus: They have hot sake! The service as always been just-enough-to-keep-us-from-complaining. There's always room for potential, but I recommend this place.”
“First time here for this local resident! I've driven past this intersection for decades and have no idea when this business popped up. Great location, parking, outdoor seating (kid and dog friendly), and a solid, healthy menu. I had the vegetarian burrito with tofu, and scarfed it down before remembering to take a picture. That's how good it was. A trickier proposition when it's raining, but that's also when the flies leave the area.”
“I went here with my husband. The food was delicious and rather large portions for the small option. Can imagine the large option is good for family style sharing. The cocktails were very good. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very clean inside. I will be coming here again.”

“My husband and I love longboards! It’s our usual go-to lunch spot when we have beach days. although, this trip was a little disappointing — as the entire time we were there, their frozen Mai Tai machine was broken and they could only make them on the rocks. The servers didn’t know when they would be getting a new machine but I hope it’s faster than they were making it seem like it would be, I’m sure it’s one of their best sellers!”

“Takeout only. Get your freshly made bento here. The price is great and it's delicious!
I got the spam musubi and the ume onigiri along with their poke bowl.
Great spot to just grab lunch for later that day.
They do have military and senior discounts on the weekends.
Overall a great spot to grab the lunch to go.”
“When I ordered regular, all the way, a very heavy burger appeared. This might have more impact compared to In n out. It's delicious.
My hands got sticky from the water from the meat juices and vegetables, so it's a good idea to bring wet tissues.
Also, there were no peanuts, so I was a little disappointed. w”
“There were 5 women expertly and efficiently running the entire restaurant. 2-3 would take orders and then one would do cashier while two in the back were cooking food. After the rush they were cleaning the beverage and dining area. Fast and efficient service. Would definitely return! A little sad that this location doesn’t offer military discount but it seems to be a lot of locations on Oahu.”
“A great choice for a quick meal. I like a two choice plate. When I want to eat healthy, I get half brown rice and half super greens for my base, otherwise I like chow mein for my base. The Kung Pao chicken and Angus Pepper Sreak are great choices for healthy eating. Sometimes I'll mix it up with broccoli beef. Service is good, rarely very busy.”
“Garlic saucy nuggets are off the chain
Parking: Kids meal is over 12 dollars and I spent 13 on myself but a wonderful meal ?
Kid-friendliness: Awesome ? expensive but awesome ?
Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect thank you Wendy s and especially to the cashier who offered to pay my change if I was short cash!!!!!!!!!!! God bless ?”
“I am a local girl, born and raised in Hawaii but live in the mainland! Just took my mainland fam to Germaine’s and would never take them elsewhere! This place offers such authentic ALOHA vibes that you can’t get anywhere else!”
“we came from town all the way here for the first time and decided to eat here as they had no wait, it was a great decision in the end because the food was 10/10. it’s a super small family owned place, only one serve and (i believe) the owner going around helping customers. service was great and the chefs handed the rolls directly to us at our table once they were prepared! super happy with our experience.”

“Loveeeeeed the food! Coming from a mainland, it was our first time eating in a Mexican restaurant and they served it!!!! ?? The staff is very friendly and polite. Nice and clean place to go with baby/kids and spacious as well. The food was delicious! I LOVED their salsa ???
Definitely give this restaurant a try, you won’t be disappointed! We are going back again ?”
“Service was the best I have seen and been in any coffee place. The person that took our order was very knowledgeable. She couldn't have been any better. The person that made our coffee was efficient and very friendly. Nothing like waking up and getting your coffee and having friendly people help you
Parking: Lots of parking it's good enough
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy for a wheelchair to get in and lots of room”
“I was at Best Buy for a while before learning I'd be waiting for techs to personalize my purchase which could've taken up to 4.5 for them to get to. Supervisor Alondra suggested I go to a Saimen place, La Tour & another place. I walked over and into La tour. The menu looked great! I saw a roast beef dip sandwich I may have chosen but when I saw a "Falafel" sandwich I was very intrigued as I never saw this on any menu at a casual restaurant in Waikiki area. OMG...that sandwich was 😍 unexpectedly⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive! 😋😋 It had noodle shaped crisp (white color) pieces of pickled turnip ( I think that's what it tasted like- please confirm or correct me?) and same shaped carrots, a perfect amount of tasty-sweet & slighty spicy sauce on a outer layer of thin crisp (perhaps it was slightly toasted?) but soft inside, square edged sub roll? I still have a little over 1/2 left! Love Falafels but am used used to the normal style of it served with a cool creamy sauce (maybe cucumber) in a toasted Pita bread. This seemed like an Asian style spin off! If they deliver in Waiks, I will likely order it again as it's Too far/expensive via car to travel there. The cold brew coffee was good also and I tried "Oat creamer" for the 1st time and liked it! Thank you ladies for the very friendly service 😊 ( I was a host at CF for almost 9yrs,😉 and also trained many hosts.) and it was my first time ever "Eating in Public" (as it also wasn't a planned adventure) and taking off my mask. People were over 10 ft away and 12 feet away from my table. more people did line up for take out as I stayed for at least an hour until almost 4pm-ish.”
“love the happy hour time during our stay at Hilton. The breakfast was also very good and fresh. Service is very nice and friendly! Our kids loved the options and have a great time enjoying the foods.”
“Favorite place to go on island for drinks. Always keeping it classy 🍻 Great prices and great selection of games to play too.”
“Would like to thank Raye for her awesome recommendation..she is the best waitress I ever encountered.”

“We had just ate at Teriyaki Madness in Newark NJ about 2 weeks ago, so when we saw it here on our vacation we decided to stop. Food was amazing, service was awesome. We got chicken potstickers, crab rangoon and teriyaki bowls. I’m very picky about my teriyaki and this was fantastic! Highly recommend!”

“We ate here for dinner on a Saturday. There was plenty of seating. The drinks were good, and the food was delicious.
We ordered the margarita flight which was a really good deal I thought. For like 10 bucks you get three margarita flavors to try and they were all really good.
The salsas were really good. They have a good spicy one if you're into spicy salsa. The green salsa was pretty good too. We ordered the chorizo queso and no one at the table was really a fan of it. It was very salty and lacked actual flavor. The guacamole though was super fresh, and super tasty. I ordered chicken fajitas as an entree and they were super good! Good flavor lots of food. I couldn't eat it all I had to take some home. My friends ordered burritos and said they were good burritos but didn't have much meat in them. We ordered tamales to go and let me just say, they are so good! They're big and full of meat and have great flavor! All in all a great restaurant, I think it's one of the better tasting Mexican restaurants on island.”

“At first there was a wait but it’s understandable due to it being a Friday night. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I wanted to say a big thank you to the staff especially our waitress Jada☺️. We celebrated my daughter Moana’s 4th birthday here tonight and we all had a wonderful time especially our birthday girl. If you guys go there be sure to ask for “Jada”. She has a great smile every time we put in an order and she’s very friendly. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Thank you GEN for a wonderful night. We will be back for sure??.”
