“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!”
“It is rare to find a place that has great food, an upscale vibe, and is family friendly. Noe met all these things and exceeded our expectations!
I reserved an early dinner here a month before our trip for my husband’s birthday. Our 13 month old was fussy and I was worried she would disturb the peace of this place but the staff and other guests were SO nice. They gave her a coloring book, offered guests umbrellas when it started to drizzle, and we never felt rushed during our entire dinner. This was one of the best customer service experiences we’ve had- it was just a lovely experience.
I loved the our server’s wine recommendation. The signature pasta was amazing as expected, the ahi as well. And the BREAD/olive oil/tapenade was so good. I probably could have done without the farm salad I got though- it kinda had clashing flavors.
We would love to come back here in the future- the ambiance and experience were wonderful.”
“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”
“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!!”

“Great little sushi place in Kapolei. Comparable to other local on-demand sushi spots, Sushi Bay has great food, service time, and seating when we went. The selection isn't quite as large as some others, and a few items were just a little lacking, but still great. Would visit again. Mahalo”
“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”
“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 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 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.”

“Love having lunch here! Amazing service and friendly laid/back vibe. MarilouA was beyond wonderful, we came here multiple days for lunch during our trip, the food was delicious, views were perfection overlooking the lagoon and we can’t wait to come back next time!”

“Small shop in a shopping center. Typical low-rent decor and layout. Incredible banh mi. Best I've had since living here, and I'm kind of obsessed with them. The BBQ pork is flavorful, the filings are balanced, and the bread is perfection.
The summer rolls were good, and the peanut sauce was top notch. My husband loved his pho and combination bahn mi.
Highly recommend for the food.”
“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.”
“Really good food and great atmosphere. Only issue is pizza little pricey. Don’t get me wrong, great quality taste and everything but just a tad high. Would definitely eat there again.”

“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.”
“Favorite place to go on island for drinks. Always keeping it classy 🍻 Great prices and great selection of games to play too.”
“Assaggio in Kapolei always has delicious and visually appealing food. The service is courteous, and they strive to provide a friendly atmosphere. The Bread is unbelievable I have to stop after the second basket due to the food I ordered. I tried the New York steak medium rare and the Shrimp Scampi. Everything was great and I definitely recommend them for your dining options.”

“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.”
“It’s tough to find truly good Mexican food in Hawaii, but Taqueria El Ranchero in Kapolei was a total win! We started with chips and salsa along with the chorizo queso – both were full of flavor and a great way to kick things off. For our main dishes, we had tamales, tacos, and elote. Everything was delicious! The tamales were just a little overcooked, but still really tasty and clearly homemade.
What really stood out, besides the food, was the service. Even though the restaurant was busy, our young waiter (I didn’t catch his name) was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Our food came out quickly, and the whole experience felt smooth and well-managed.
On top of all that, the prices were surprisingly affordable – such a great value. We’ll definitely be going back. This place is a must-visit if you’re craving authentic Mexican food on Oahu!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Delicious with an amazing view! If you can score reservations just before sunset it’s magnificent to watch. The wine pairing option was the way to go!”
“I really love the sushi here especially their lemon drop roll, the only problem I have is that its just a little cramped in the restaurant making walking by other guests a little hard.”
“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!”

“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??.”
