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.

matt our our server was amazing. We plan to go again and specifically request him to serve us again. The food was amazing. It is probably the best meal we've had here so far.

We love Manalo Lounge for laidback vibes and go at our own pace shareable plates. The gyoza special should def be put on the menu full time (respectfully, Chef!). Really enjoyed the Laurent Perrier Rosé Champagne! We've been twice and will def be back again!

The staff was kind and welcoming. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they made it feel special! The food was good, and the view was beautiful!

Enjoyed the small plates vs a full 2-3 course menu. There was a bit of miscommunication and all of our food was brought at the same time vs being coursed out. Ahi was good, but not the same excellent quality as Roys. Seating looks like it would be comfortable but the low tables and couches are not comfortable and awkward to get in and out of.

We dined here early (5:30pm) on our arrival day. We had an old fashioned and a mai tai to start; both were very good. We also shared the Sunset Roll and the SNAKE RIVER FARMS SPICY WAGYU BEEF skewer (sorry for the cut-and-pasted all caps!). Both were also very good. Had a couple of beers with the food. Excellent service and setting! Great for an early arrival day dinner.

Best anniversary dinner!! The staff was so wonderful and accommodating, and treated us to such a wonderful dinner. It was very special night we won't forget

The food was tasty and pleasingly different than the normal fare. Service was excellent but that view of the ocean was amazing.

The setting cannot be beat. You are overlooking the cove/ocean and the pathway. Food was very good. Seafood and sashimi were fresh. A little pricey but what do you expect?
They gave my girl peanuts even tho we warned them of her allergy ASAP. So it took long for her food. Went here right before I engaged. Food was amazing except the dragonfly hand roll. That was kind of gross and got stuck in my throat multiple times. Nasty consistency. Everything else was absolutely delicious. Portion sozes are as small as they can get away with so you’re left hungy and having to order more. For myself and my now fiancé I spent $250. We even waited 15 minutes for a Coke Zero. I enjoyed it overall but there was much that could’ve been better. Also since it’s a lounge the seats were odd and uncomfortable. I had to lean back FAR. I mean super far just to have my back against the seat rest.

Birthday vibes in full tropical effect! 🌺🌅 I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect evening with sunshine, ocean breeze, and the kind of golden-hour glow that makes you feel like you’re in a dream. We dined beachside soaking up that luxe island energy with every bite. Yeah, the food leans $$$ (hello, $90 uni roll 😳), but honestly? You’re not just paying for the dish, you’re buying front-row seats to paradise. 🌊✨
Even if the uni didn’t rock our world, the view sure did. From sunny skies to a sunset that melted into the waves, chef’s kiss. And the bonus? Free 4-hour parking validation when you dine at the resort, so no valet drama. It was a beautiful, breezy, star-studded kinda night (low-key hoping for a celeb sighting 👀), and I felt nothing but gratitude. Truly a blessed birthday in island-style luxury. 💫🌴🍣

The service and atmosphere are good. We didn't have reservations on a Wednesday night and we got a table right away facing the lagoon. We ordered the sunset roll, A5 wayu on hot stone and the seafood ramen. The roll and wayu beef are great, but the seafood ramen was not my favorite. This $68 ramen noodle soup is no match to the 1500 yen ($10) one in Ginza. The broth is bland and has a bitter taste, because they have cooked the Gai lan veggies in the soup. Raw carrots sticks and beans sprouts in the ramen, they are not a good addition. I wish they could use bamboo shoots and corn. Anyway I have high hopes for this restaurant but it turns out not meeting my expectations.
