“Out of the way from Honolulu but worth the trip. Entertained from pick up to drop off. Performance was very well done. The dancing, food is amazing and the fire finale was the icing on the cake. The really make you feel like family and share their culture with you”
“Aunty and her employees are always so nice and welcoming. As the face of the restaurant, she doesn't disappoint with her constant smile and infectious laughter.
The restaurant has converted to an AYCE menu wich is reasonably priced and they kept their more famous appetizers on the menu as well.
Can't forget to save room for that shaved ice at the end!”
“It's fun and kids love dancing with Chuck E. Cheese & with awesome food.”
“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⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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”

“Amazing burgers! It’s also nice to have a beach view and friendly service. A bit pricey but that’s Disney.”
“Great Kahlua Pig and Huli Huli Chicken. Great Show. Big Kahuna Approved!🤙🏻”

“Amazing, fun, exciting experience! The show was spectacular! Such a great way to spend an evening in Aulani. The food was not bad, they brought a bento box for my daughter so that was great. The drinks were really good and the bartenders were friendly, approachable, and even remembered my drink order after the first time!
I believe you can start making reservations as early as 6 months. We did the preferred seating, your seats are already assigned. Meaning, doesn't matter how early you arrive you won't get a better seat. Seating goes by when you ordered your tickets, so purchase the tickets as soon as possible. We did get front row seats so it worked out. We also did get there early and we're first in line. There are a few activities that take place so getting there early is probably the better idea.”
“Everything at Manalo Lounge was fantastic. We had drinks, the Ora King salmon sashimi, Dragonfly hand roll, crab fried rice, and the Ora King salmon large plate — each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The standouts were the salmon sashimi and the salmon large plate — just wow. Both were prepared perfectly and absolutely melted in your mouth. Service was attentive and professional, and the cocktails were creative and well balanced. The atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed, and even our tough crowd was thoroughly impressed. We'll definitely be back.”
“We stumbled across this gem in Kapolei on the 4th of July. Attached to the Embassy Suites hotel, it's very cute & well maintained with nice decor. But the food is why you come. We had wagyu steak so tender & beautiful it was an experience like no other. The poke was fresh & delicious. The service was attentive. We enjoyed it thoroughly. Can't wait to try it again!”
“This place was highly recommended, and the service we got was fantastic. Amanda (Tabs momma) was an absolute gem of a human, and this is by far the best anniversary dinner we’ve ever had thanks to her ❤️ Would give a million stars if possible!!”

“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.”
“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is a nice place. Casual and nearly always busy since it's the main dining spot at Marriott KoOlina Resort. I'm posting this review because I have eyed a certain dessert item on their menu for a couple of years. It's called Caramel Knowledge. A cool sexy name that piques one's imagination. Well, don't bother unless 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with average caramel sauce, chopped macadamia nuts (so far okay), but then surrounded by friut salad (like a Denny's diner fruit cup, blech!). Where's the sexy? Where's the imagination? The dessert get 1 star.
Where's the chef's knowledge of caramel?
How about Dulce de Leche ice cream, dark caramel sauce, perhaps brûlè some fresh pineapple tidbits, toast those nuts, and add a crispy brown sugar tuille. And for heaven sake, omit the dopey fruit salad.”
“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.”
“Would like to thank Raye for her awesome recommendation..she is the best waitress I ever encountered.”
“Outstanding food. Good enough to convert a member of our party to a ramen lover, and he didn’t stop talking about it all week. We all highly enjoyed our bowls. The tonkatsu was extremely delicious.”

Cheap Eats
“This was a recommendation from our hotel and we came back two more times. It is a pleasant quiet neighborhood. We ate inside twice and outside once which I we preferred. My wife enjoyed the “Westside Burger” which she enjoyed. On other nights she had the excellent fish and chips and a very good pasta dish. I had some rather disappointing fish tacos but the next two nights I really enjoyed the “Bouillabaisse “! Our servers were excellent. The only disappointment was our passing up the great Bakery items on display.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Best food truck I’ve ever eaten from! I’m a western New Yorker, we cook and/or put hot sauce on everything. Not fully understanding all of the menu options, the owner, was so friendly, offered information about the types of fresh food he had and even offered us samples of the Ahi poke. Once a nay sayin skeptic, I’m now a true believer in raw fish as an amazing meal. I can’t say enough about how tasty this food was. We also had the Shrimp Tempura, Ahi Katsu and Limo Oi’o. All were absolutely some of the best food we had in over a week in Hawaii.”
“Nice tea flavor. Boba had a good texture. Even though only 1 person was working, our drinks came out relatively quickly. We got 75% sweet because we don't like it too sugary, but I think the drinks would have actually been even better with the normal 100% sweetness.”
“Best non-chain pizza place I have had in a long while. The Hawaiian BBQ pizza was exceptional with the fresh chicken, crust, and housemade BBQ sauce. I will be coming back and recommending this place.”
“In the stress of moving off island and living in a hotel room with my two animals this restaurant is the highlight of my day. Everyone is extremely friendly, the drinks are amazing, and the food is delicious. Thank you for being my haven!”
“We had such an amazing time at the hotel in Ko Olina! The service there was truly exceptional, exceeding all our expectations. We're already looking forward to coming back for another visit!”

“We recently tried Kazoku and had a great experience. I ordered the Red Dragon roll and fried shrimp shumai. Everything was really good.
The service was friendly, and it’s a super small, family-owned spot. I loved that the chefs handed the rolls directly to us at the table once they were ready. We were really happy with our experience.”

“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!”

“I went to El Ranchero for dinner right before their Friday event. The ambience was nice, the restaurant has a vibe. A lot of people at the bar enjoying their pre party prep 🙃 I ordered beer and their birria tacos! 🌮 It was delicious! They serve chips and salsa as well. I didn’t stay for the party but I have heard good things about their events, so I do recommend! For chips&salsa, a glass of beer and the tacos my bill was $29. Not bad at all!”
“Don't get me wrong, 4 star on food is just because seems weird to rank fast food at 5 stars. Maybe if I could rank 4.5...
Anyhow, great service, chicken sandwich was ono, waffle fries and Chick-fil-A sauce always enjoyable. I dined in; when I was there it was a nice and chill atmosphere. For generally being younger, workers are pleasant and polite.
I shoulda got the shake, shucks...”
“For this visit, I went there and had myself a vanilla ice cream cone. What I like about this particular location is how quickly the drive-through works. They are basically a well oiled machine here and that is exactly why I come here. I use the drive-through every time.”
“Delicious food, excellent service. I loved how friendly and accommodating they were with our three kids! It's a nice restaurant but they made them feel welcome!”
