“Forget the the Food Trucks in Oahu , the Garlic Shrimp here is unreal , eat with your bare hands,it melts in your mouth.“

“The Pancakes are THE BEST!!!“

“Wow! Loved the tasting and the information that Ricardo shared. So much fun! Go and enjoy!“

“My family and I decided to hop down to this restaurant and the vegan curry was AMAZING!!! I was feeling like something a little less dense than a burger and I’m so glad I chose that dish! The ulu was lightly fried so it had a wonderful mouthfeel! 10/10 going back soon just to get that dish again! The peach cobbler and strawberry cheesecake were also yummy!“

“The lagoon grill restaurant at the Hilton Waikolia resort is exceptional, offering the best food I've ever experienced. The team truly excels, providing an amazing selection that caters to all tastes, and the freshness of the ingredients stands out. It's a fantastic dining destination for everyone.“

“Hawaiian style cafe offers a wide selection of options for you. Pancakes are always so large and a plate come with 3 pancakes with butter. So be mindful of the size before ordering. Hash brown portion is a a little big as well. Although the pricing is so reasonable, there is always a chance that you'll waste food. The wait time can be a little long depending on the hours. Service is quite quick. Would definitely love the food and staff. This place only accepts cash. They do have an ATM onsite.

Parking: The place is so famous. Hence it might be a little difficult to find parking. But overall there are planty of parking space around the cafe.“

“delicious calamari and curry mussels appetizers, rib eye entries a must and for dessert brownies with ice cream and fried banana“

“Love the coconut curry with shrimp. Also a fan of the Korean ribeye & Teri chicken.“

“really good chicken! Mahalo.“

“Stopped by for my birthday dinner with the Hubs and loved the setting and atmosphere. Refined, lively, with a touch of relaxed Hawaiian vibe it was the perfect place to be seated outside on the terrace with dimmed lights. Although I did find it slightly too dark but it was still romantic and a lovely table.

Service was professional and Engaging. Felt very celebrated but also gave us space to have a nice dinner.
As far as food goes, the daikon salad is a must fresh and crisp just perfect to open up the palate. Star of the evening was the grilled lobster. Rich in flavor covered in spiced coconut sauce, delicious. We found the steak a bit underwhelming nothing special.

All in all, great spot to celebrate something nice or just come for a evening out.“

“Freaking amazing food!!!! Need a brick and mortar place because this place bangs it out!!!! Guava chicken and Terri Pork... I’d fly here just for it!!!“

“We picked the perfect restaurant to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. Service was top notch from beginning to end, food was delicious, and ambience was fantastic to include live music and the sunset. We are grateful for the amazing experience!“

“Great experience. Very nice owner and Simple place but the food was delicious. I ordered the ahi tuna and sushi bowl with sushi rice and added their chilli water on top. It was very fresh and no “fishy” taste. Wish I could eat that every day!“

“They serve breakfast as well as the everyday faire of food. I had the French toast for my early breakfast one day and the chili spaghetti on a separate night visit. The Chili needs a little more flavor because it is fairly bland with no heat at all. Just some salt would help.

Parking: Shared lot with other businesses .“

“I loved the food. We ate at the bar and enjoyed the conversation of bartender Brandon. He was entertaining and attentive. We had the lobster tacos, poke bowl and shrimp cerviche. All were delicious. The margarita was a scrumptious desert. The lantern ceremony was also beautiful.“

“Absolutely, the food was delicious and service and restaurant were amazing !“

“We celebrated our 29th Anniversary last night and the food and service was excellent. The hostess gave us a special Happy Anniversary card signed by the staff....an unexpected and memorable surprise. Everyone, especially our waiter was attentive and very accommodating. We'll definitely be coming back. Sandra & Robert“

“Great find, and good service, had the organic tofu stir fry, they allowed me to order it mild 🌶️, even had some interesting local greens. Only thing I would change is less salty, but that might just be my own taste. One thing to be aware of is they don’t have a public restroom. Updated from previous review on 2025-08-30“

“I brought Chef Allen Hess my freshly caught fish. He expertly prepared it into culinary art! The atmosphere and service is top notch, as well as the flavors and presentation. Do yourself a favor and order a few oyster shooters as well. 🤤“

“Island Breeze have been Rated the Best Luau on the Big Island of Hawaii!“

“Better than a broadway play! Sunset on the water perfectly timed to a well crafted show. Pig roast from traditional sand pit that we were all invited to witness the digging and unwrapping. Made us all feel like honored guests greeting us as we checked in on the lawn with puka shell lei from preformers in the show & Mai Thais. The emcee went above and beyond bringing a tear to my parents eye announcing their 45yr anniversary we were there to celebrate. Out of all the Lū’au’s on the island this one stands alone as the best! Bonus on your way out you even get to see Manata Rays feeding from a point on shore as you leave. The food was fantastic and so much of it we all got full. The preformers and storytelling were fantastic. The fire juggler was amazing, wasn’t sure how he didn’t light the place up, we could feel the heat from the flames! HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for a fantastic night with the family, truly a night we’ll remember forever. Thank you Mauna Kea!!!“

“This is a wonderful place to eat for breakfast, with the most breathtaking views! Try the island fried rice, it’s worth the upcharge! My servers were all great, but my favorite person was Ginger who was the hostess. She has the best personality and is quite funny! Thank you for the great experience!“

“Love, love, love! Must do in Waikiki.“

“Probably the only affordable place in the entire Waikoloa village district. You can always count on l&l to give you a ton of food for an affordable price. The banana lumpia was amazing. We came here like 3 days in a row because we just refused to pay $80 for a pizza at Hilton Waikoloa.“

“The meatballs app. The Red Water Martini: delicious!“

“Great service, but kitchen was meh. I ordered a NY steak and kitchen brought out a ribeye. Didn't bother to tell me they don't have NY. I had to point out that food delivered was not what I ordered. Other than that, service and ambiance were great.“
