50 Best Seafood Restaurants in Honolulu

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

“Icon scene on Waikiki Beach! Top notch service. 🌺“

“ハワイで一番のオリジナルが素晴らしいお寿司屋さんです🍣“

“My now husband and I had our wedding rehearsal lunch here on Sunday, September 8, 2024. Their restaurant was my first choice and they were so accommodating! We had a private indoor space with an oceanfront lanai to mingle on. Jenni, who is the manager, and her employees went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The plumeria buffet was delicious, the drinks and souvenir cups were amazing, and the restaurant had such a relaxed ambience with such a beautiful view for pictures on the patio! Jenni and her team were outstanding, and the venue is highly recommended!“

“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 appetizers and drinks!“

“It's a small low key store with not much of a storefront that always have a long line all the way outside on the street. If it is not for the long line I wouldn't even have noticed the shop existed. The poke they're selling however is just exceptional. It was so good in fact that I recommended other people from other hotels to go get the poke bowl. The fish they use are fresh, they don't oversauce, and they mix the sauce in only when you put the order in. None of those fishy watery poke that you see in other shops that uses pre-mixed poke. You can custom mix and match fish type and sauce type, or go with one of their preset bowls. I personally highly recommend the preset "spicy spicy" bowl + a scoop of ikura (salted salmon roe) topping. Incredible! It's a takeaway shop so there's no service to speak of. They have a eating area next to the ship by side of the road, street food atmosphere.“

“so good!!!!! best lobster roll strongly recommended first time trying and i really like it“

“Incredible flavor & huge portions! I had the Garlic Parmesan Crusted Ahi over brown rice. I’ll absolutely be back!“

“The freshest Poke on the Eastside, hands down! Mahalo“

“Best garlic shrimp I’ve ever had! I’ve been to 15+ eateries ordering the same dish on the mainland and the Hawaiian islands. The guava fried chicken and Lilikoi Pie were epic too! �“

“The wait was long and more crowded than I would like but it was worth it.“

“We came for lunch the food was delicious! For appetizers we had the frying dragon roll, parmesan brussels sprouts, and mesclun mix salad with blackened ahi. Our main lunch was the chirashi. We love coming here and listening to the live music. It's so relaxing! We'll definitely come back again!“

“One of the Best places for Poke AND Seared Ahi encrusted with Furikake.

It will take time to make anything cooked, but they have plenty of varieties of poke and rice if you just want to grab and go!

Parking is 15 minutes in 5 parking spaces.

They have a counter and one bench that you can eat inside at, but really it's more of a take out place.“

“The best High Tea we've had, including The Fairmont in a few key cities. Excellent!!“

“Usually order the butterfish, always great, but 3 of our 7 guests had the amberjack sautéed with the scallion ginger soy preparation. Out of this world. Been eating at Roy's for 30 years. He's phenomenal in all his restaurants serving the tastiest fresh creative meals. Can't go wrong with any selection. Never made a bad choice in 30+ years. And I'm a restauranteur.“

“Kimchi fry rice is amazing and the poke is fire, definitely on my list of top grinds.“

“There was a long wait for dinner when we visited, but they had an open seating section where we were able to grab a table within 10 minutes. If you are vegetarian (like us), expect the options to be limited at a seafood restaurant. However, we tried the Macadamia Nut Hummus and vegetarian Nachos and both tasted great.“

“Hawaiian seafood restaurant“

“Ordered uber eats
I was happily surprised, the fish was GREAT!!! ordered poke bowl 2 choice (salmon+spicy ahi).

Will definitely be ordering here again, and excited to try other dishes! Also shoutout to being open until 8pm! I didn’t feel like cooking dinner and wanted something healthy yet filling. Glad I took a chance on this place, definitely recommend!

It’s also comforting knowing you’re supporting a business that supports compostable packaging!!❤️“

“The freshest Poke on the Eastside, hands down! Mahalo“

“Love this place! It’s always a must when I’m in Waikiki. They have something for everyone, from their delicious, juicy burgers to their perfectly seasoned, scrumptious garlic shrimp. The service is warm and friendly, the food quality is consistently excellent, and their portions are generous. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The staff is super nice and their prices are much better than I had expected, especially in these times. As a note, they will put whatever critters you are getting into boxes so you can keep them refrigerated until your ready to grill, boil and enjoy the freshest seafood possible. Will be back“

“My significant other and I live in Las Vegas so we have ample options for fine dining! BUT apparently we’ve been missing out! By far the best meal both of us had ever had!!! I strongly recommend dining here! You’ll be sooo glad you did!“

“Everything was great from entering the restaurant till we left stuffed. Ventilation is great knowing how the cooking is table side. Though as entertaining as it was throughout dinner, set up leaves little opportunities for conversations cross table, but that's not why you go there for. Larger parties should definitely consider the private dining area available. Overall very nice dining experience.“

“I was hesitant because all the reviews looked written by tourists (no offense), but we were doing a staycation at the ilikai and were too lazy to go Ala's Foodland.

The poke bowls were really good! Wayyy better than I expected. I'm not a poke snob, but it's better than Foodland... It's on-par with "Red fish", which I know is technically Foodland.

I got the spicy ahi and garlic tare, and wife and kids shared the Hawaiian bowl with limu poke. Everything was good... Portion was good enough for me; my two choice bowl was enough that I felt full, but not overly stuffed. Hawaiian bowl fed my wife and two kids.

Overall, really good poke, at a decent price, and that's coming from a local bruddah.“

“Mondays are Poke Nachos day and it's for a reasonable price, under $12 with tax: generous serving of crispy won ton chips with your choice of poke, topped with furikake, unagi sauce and sesame seeds. I had the truffle salmon and it was delicious.

Parking: Free and easy parking shared with Starbucks.“

“Seafood connection has gourmet and speciality seafood items. I have purchased their King crab legs, smoked salmon and oyster. They are high quality and sold to many of our best in Hawai’i. So grateful that they sell to public. Highly recommend.“

“Came to Honolulu for my honeymoon and we were craving poke!!! Stopped at this spot and I’m so happy we did!!! The tuna was fresh and local! Which we loved! And the pulled pork was to die for!!!! Also the people there were cool as hell!!! Very cool spot! Much love from Chicago, if we ever come to islands again, we’ll be sure to visit! “

“The garlic fries and wings were delicious😋😋 Great and friendly waitress and my son-in-love enjoyed his lobster tails❤️“

“This place is solid, but we had a group of 4 adults and 3 youths and it must have thrown them off a bit. We chose the AYCE option and we were served double of some of the items we ordered. I personally judge Sushi Restaurants by the quality of their unagi. This place has good unagi. The clientele is all locals and we love finding places like that when we travel. This is a good option.“

“This is a bit of a hidden gem along the Waikiki Beach area; small, intimate, but fantastic food and service. So much so that my wife and I went there twice while we were visiting O'ahu! Oyster Shooters are a must; the sashimi was excellent and well prepared; and the garlic butter shrimp was outstanding. Highly recommended!“

“My favorite is the DaBeef & Guava Pork Belly! Pure Deliciousness!“

“Fresh tuna and salmon! It was super fresh and delicious! I enjoyed their sushi and it was so so affordable! It was such a great meal :) I would love to go back again next time when I visit Hawaii. I highly recommend this place if you love sushi. It was great and they have plenty of seats and it was a clean and nice food hall. ❤️“

“Wing Sing Seafood, which wholesale fish is a top-notch destination for purchasing high-quality fish in bulk. Known for its fresh and diverse selection, it caters to both retail customers and businesses such as restaurants and markets. The fish is sourced daily to ensure freshness, and the variety is impressive, offering everything from common species to more exotic options. The staff is knowledgeable and can assist with special orders or specific needs. Prices are competitive, making it an excellent choice for those looking to buy fish in larger quantities without compromising on quality. Overall, Wing Sing Seafood Wholesale Fish provides exceptional service and superior products, making it a go-to source for seafood in the area.“

“It was just coincidence in my view but what I ordered was found sold out 10min later or so. It would be the best if I could know that when I place the order by looking at the menu. It might be better to make a digital menu rather than on paper so that updates are quickly reflected to those menu boards at every table?“

“You can choose your own ingredients from several options. Depending on the price, you can choose from 1 to 3 main dishes (tuna, salmon, octopus, etc.), but keep in mind that the amount of rice will increase accordingly. Choose the sauce to go with the main dish (soy sauce or spicy), side (avocado, kimchi, etc.), and furikake (seaweed, flying fish, etc.).“

“Hubby saw this eatery on a local show so while in Fort Street Mall, we popped in. Loved our poke bowls, will definitely go again!“

“exceptional food, setting & service. beautiful experience“

“The dim sum was delicious and enjoyable. We ordered the hagow, shiu mai, spare ribs, and other familiar favorites. Everything was tasty and reasonably priced. The stuffed bean curd was the standout while the baked manapua was flavorful although I was not a fan of the sugar coated topping. Personally, I prefer having the cart service with steaming baskets rolling by so I can pick what looks good but that is just personal preference. The staff did a great job being attentive and bringing the bamboo steamers straight to the table and everything arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen.“

“Great little breakfast spot inside the Hilton. We had breakfast here multiple times and the Restaurant Manager Kathy was an absolute pleasure! Service was great overall but Kathy was truly the icing on the cake!!“

“It’s all about the flavor 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🎯💯‼️“

“Excellent food, had the brie appetizer and catch of the day, blackened monchong. Staff recommend wine to pair with dinner and Taylor-tini were perfect. Chef Nathaniel clearly enjoys creating his dishes which are extremely delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Great food, friendly service, great beach views, great music, comfy casual. Makes for a nice relaxing experience.“

“Seriously best garlic shrimp we have had on our trip! Just sad we found it on our last night here. We ordered 6 plates and our groups was fighting over the last bits of sauce soaked rice! Steak was cooked perfectly. Salad was great selection of crisp fresh greens with the right amount of dressing. Mac salad was plain-the way it should be! Why ruin a good thing and add tons of stuff! And the shrimp! Onolicious is the only word I can use. It was garlicky without being overwhelmingly garlic. Mahalo! Hope we get back soon.“

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

“Food was extremely delicious 😋“

“fantastic food and service highly recommend. I wish we had something this good in Torquay Victoria.“

“a must visit in Oahu...Sammy has the Best Grinds/ and Now has the Best Cocktails Poolside @ the Bamboo Hotel on Kuhio .Donnie Roxx serves up your Fave Drinks..great Tiki bar experience!“
