“No dine in, no tables, no other staff. Just yummy breakfast plates and plate lunches. They do take card but we paid cash. No bathrooms. The shopping center has chairs and tables aligning the store fronts. Ordering is super easy. The pancakes were really really yummy and the kalbi was delicious. Great for grab and goParking: Parking lot is in the shopping center“

“L & L is hands down one of my all-time favorite spots for a plate lunch! I ordered the BBQ chicken plate with rice and Mac salad, and every bite was a taste of pure joy. The flavors are always on point, and the portion sizes are generous, ensuring you leave with a satisfied appetite. But what truly sets L & L apart is the impeccable service provided by their staff. They are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit a delightful experience. I can't wait to be back for more of their mouthwatering dishes! If you haven't tried L & L yet, you're missing out on some seriously good eats!“

“When driving on Oahu, I stopped in front of Kailua.Two big cheeseburgers and a drink at the store for $10! I ordered this with emphasis on cost performance. We ate the finished food in the eat-in space next to the counter.The most important cheeseburger was mediocre. I think there would have been some special impressions if the sauce had been solid, but isn't this something like a sauce? The taste is just patty, cheese, and a slightly salty taste. My honest impression was that the second one was a little hard to eat.The atmosphere is Hawaiian loco! That was nice, but honestly it didn't feel clean.“

“Mud Hen Water had one of the more unique menus out of all the places we ate in Hawaii, with dishes that were an interesting fusion of Japanese, traditional Hawaiian, and many other cuisines.My favorite dish was the handmade pasta with venison, which was absolutely delicious and caused my wife to almost abandon her meal to try and eat mine. Hers was also fantastic, a crispy chicken dish that was tender, well-seasoned and really juicy.With excellent service, great food, and a laid-back atmosphere, Mud Hen Water is a strong recommendation for anyone in the Honolulu area looking for a unique dinner spot.“

“My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Haleiwa Joe’s for our anniversary! We arrived at around 3:30 to wait in line. We were seated right at 4:00 and had an amazing view! Great service and delicious food. We loved the luau crab dip and our main dishes as well. Will be returning in the future and bringing guests, too! Overall a lovely experience, and we’ll look forward to coming back.“

“This is a place that you need to plan accordingly the wait for our order was 50 minutes and they have no seating so we called ahead and planned a beach day where we could enjoy our lunch. On the website they do caution you that it’s not fast food and normally takes 40-50 minutes so don’t expect great food to be ready in 5 minutes. It’s definitely worth the wait since everything we ordered was excellent! I can’t imagine how good it would be if we ate it after being freshly made.They make their noodles so everything is cooked fresh and made to order. You can even see the noodles being made in the shop. We ordered the Garlic Ulu Portabello, Lechon Malunggay, Adobong Lechon Kawali and then made our own pasta where you pick the noodles, sauce and protein. Servings size are huge so we all shared and got to try a lot of food. My fav was definitely the Lechon Malunggay. Lechon was so crispy and the noodles so tasty. But everything was sooo deliciousThe lady at the counter was so friendly.“

“Absolutely recommend Orchids at Halekulani! This is an incredible brunch experience overlooking the ocean. Tony, Benjamin, and the entire staff that waited on us were amazing -- they truly made the experience! We had a special request, and they listened and made it happen perfectly. The food was exceptional. Compliments to the Chef and staff!“

“You won't believe the amazing 60th birthday party my uncle had at this place! The food and ambiance were absolutely incredible! We had live Hawaiian music played by my boyfriend, and our entire family danced the hula all night long! And let me tell you, that roast pig was to die for! It was so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside...you have to check out the video I took! The location is unbeatable, right by the ocean and next to the Prince Hotel in Waikiki. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on this incredible experience!“

“Delicious food, great service! The signature martini (pineapple & coconut) were too easy to drink (a bit steep at $19ea!). The dragon roll was amazing, as were all our entrées (Butterfield, based short ribs & whole snapper). I appreciate the half servings available for some entrées (I didn't even finish my whole dish).“

“We had not been to Michel's for 30 years and still the setting cannot be beat. The waiter assigned to our table was busy so two other waiters, both named Michael, came over at different times to speak with us. They were personable and knowledgeable. I wanted foie gras as an appetizer and the chef was very accommodating. We shared three appetizers; foie gras, oysters, and escargot which were all first rate. Our entrees were Beef Rosinni and steak and lobster, again they did not disappoint. The reason I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is the elegance it used to have has dropped a notch and excluding the two Michaels, the wait staff lacks the finesse that they all had previously. It is still a very good restaurant and I will go back again.“
“Yelp suggests a reviewer consider food, service and ambience in crafting one's review. Olili hits all three. It is off the main beach walk so somewhat less crowded and it's a bit hard to find. But pet the three criteria, you can't go wrong eating here.“

“Last night’s dinner at Merriman’s was absolutely superb - oysters, lobster pot pie, their signature Mai Tai (best I’ve ever tasted) - then a coffee martini w chocolate purse dessert - I can’t rave enough - live music & excellent service - shout out to John.Thanks to all ~“

“Very popular stop along east scenic drive, worth a stop. Ordered Luau pig, their chicken long rice resembles Asian chicken rice noodle, super flavorful. On top of that, their sweet lady comes with a blend of ice-cream and coconut milk based dessert but not super sweet in western standards of dessert. Highly recommended chicken long rice if you are rice noodle fan and their sweet lady on a humid Hawaiian summer.“

“Lovely, smiling and friendly person who kindly explained all the vegetarian options to us and two very good tasting vegan tofu bowls. One with cold tofu, sesame dressing and the other with a garlic chili hot sauce. Generous amount of tofu and rice that was topped with delicious pickled vegetables.Small no frills cafe still when a few tables to sit down and eat. We did a takeaway and ate by the tables by the marina.“

“We ate at Uncle Bo's Pupu bar in Waikiki on the second to last night of our 3 week stay, how I wish we had discovered this place sooner! The food was amazing we ordered 4 dishes off the Pupu menu which came out slowly allowing us to savour each dish, service was super friendly and for once we did not feel rushed to finish our meals and move on, which is how we often felt in the restaurants on the main Waikiki drag! Thanks Uncle Bo's we will definitely be back and will definitely tell our fellow Kiwis about your fab restaurant. Much aroha.“

“Delicious and thoughtful tasting menu with wine pairing. Fresh and flavorful ingredients with friendly and professional service. I am a big man (6'5", 240 lbs.) and I suggested I might still be hungry after the tasting menu, so our server gave us sliders on the house, which filled me right up and were delicious. We highly recommend... Mahalo, MW! :)“

“I don’t give out 5 stars often but the Hideout gets full points. Great atmospheres, fantastic service and obviously tasty food. Prices are about average for the area. We ate here in the morning for brunch and in the evening for dinner. Both times did not disappoint. The live music is always a great touch. Typically busy and reserving a table ahead of time is recommended. Will be back when we return.“

“I’ll start by saying I have not had the gold standard of Maine lobster rolls. But I grew up in the PNW eating fresh shell fish of all kinds.This buttered lobster roll was delicious. It had a heaping amount of juicy lobster. The bun was toasted and held up well against the amount of butter. Wasn’t soggy. (I’d eat it right away though… might not be fabulous for take out.)You order at the inside window and then pick up and eat at the picnic tables on the patio. You can see it when you first turn into ward center. Right next to Rodger Dunn golf store. Food came out in less than 10 minutes.The staff was happy and friendly. After I finished eating, one of the girls asked how everything was and was genuinely happy to see that we enjoyed it.Worth the $20 for the roll. Especially considering this is Honolulu and the amount of lobster that was included.Parking: 3 levels of parking at ward center. It’s tight. But it’s free. Never have I not found a spot, even when busy.“

“Delightful dinner at Kala Hale! Every dish and every different item on each dish had distinct and complementary flavors and textures. Ahi special was excellent; holu lei salad crisp and tasty; desserts just right. Don’t miss the vanilla ice cream — often overlooked on menus but not here. And goes well with banana pudding. Friendly service, staff gave helpful information and smiles all around.“

“Mamma Mia.... Request for TIA!!!!! Probably one of the best servers will come across... the host working yesterday was super chill too. Her food knowledge was A1 and she specials spiel was very natural! I love when a server can give me a spiel on a dish and it not feel redundant or "scripted." On that note though, I would have totally got the burger of the week if I could tolerate spice... All i heard was jalapenos... I really wanted to try the seafood linguini arrabbiata pasta. However, it does comes with a spicy marinara sauce(for those that don't know what arrabbiata is). Thankfully Tia had suggested to do it with "white sauce" (roasted garlic cream). And that my friend, is why... I say she made an amazing recommendation because I will be back for that pasta! Small things I would like to mention... i wish they had noted which items were a bit spicy... maybe with a . The Bruschetta was a bit spicy for me, but the topping mix was amazing... i believe it was the peppers on top of the crostinis... On another hand, the FUJI APPLE flatbread is the way to GO! If you are looking for something sweet and savory... it WEEERRRKS! The fig jam brings a nice little sweet wander in your mind with the tart of apple and saltiness of the prosciutto... and the bite of the apple with a nice salty finish! Every bite is different honestly!!! I love the balsamic glaze too!!! (Honestly, anything with a balsamic glaze is chef's kiss). Oh yeah and it had a nite bite because of the arugula! As mentioned, my pasta was cooked to perfection. It is not easy to get all the components to be as perfect as it was. The seafood, individually and together, was perfectly cooked and not over done. It was very abundant with the fish, shrimp, and the mussels. Like I said, I want thing again when I come back. I also tried some of my friend's pua'a taco that was tasty and filling! Lastly, i love the location, by the marina! I love the open air experience! The vibe is very laid back and just a nice spot to be. We were in the corner and could see everything. And this is how I imagined celebrating my friend's birthday! I would also like to mention... they do free beer (least that's what i was told... don't hate me if they don't do it anymore) for your birthday... of course you have to be "of age"! Anywhos, thank you sooo much Kona Brewing and Tia for making this one of my best lunch experiences!“

“Fast cheap tasty. Soft fresh rice unlike other masubi. Perfect amount of savory spam and sweet glaze. Fatty beef bowl rice was good too. Plenty of sauce to coat the rice and succulent juicy thin beef slices marinated well. Ikura salmon flake bowl was a bit dry down my throat but overall tasty. Wish there was more Ikura but get that that is expensive“

“Yummy sandwiches! I really liked my Pesto deluxe sandwich. The gooey, melting cheese oozing out after a bite. Pesto was delicious and the sandwich was hot and crunchy and tasty! Friendly service and inside was very cutely decorated. A long table and several chairs looking outside, so I was able to see people passing by as I enjoy my food. Smoothies and drinks seem to be pretty popular too. People were swinging by for pickup or just to take out and eat at the Ala Moana Beach park.“

“The Hale Koa Luau was really good! The food was good and entertainment!! The dancers ( both the men and women were awesome) The young lady who was the host was a bit annoying. I know that sounds mean her voice was so nasally . She was probably all of 25 ? But was acting like a 50 something talk show host . I just don't know why she is needed in the show at all . Anyways I would go again , hopefully she will be replaced by one of the actual Hawaiian folks. fire dude was awesome as well!“

“I thought $18 for a plate of shrimp curry was a little expensive until I ate it and realized they could raise the price to $25 and I would buy it again! It's was worth every penny. The restaurant was clean and very well maintained I just wish they had a full size dining area. The service of the food was surprisingly quick and easy. I will definitely be back one day to try more items on the menu. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family 9/10. Well done.“
“Always a creative menu accompanied by attentive service. We sat outside on what turned out to be a windy Friday night. More annoying was the Mariachi band playing loudly at the taco place across the street (drowned out the pleasant music at Merriman's). We'll eat inside next time. My wife's Makai special (Kauai lobster) was superb. My peppercorn steak frite was almost impossible to cut. Sharper knives are needed! Be sure to have the anchovies with the Ceasar salad--a great experience.“
“I booked based on price and proximity to our hotel (walking distance). I didn't realise that was in the middle of a mall, which is barricaded off. It was a bit odd that people could look down at the show for free when we paid have our seat there.In saying that for interactive, my daughter my daughter love to trying all the different things, the service was amazing and it was a great experience in showing off all the cultures around the Pacific.The food was really good, as someone with dietary I wish I checked in the lead up what I could and couldn't eat. But it was all pretty delicious. The two free drinks are just soft drinks so make sure you bring money for the bar if you want to buy a drink noting they don't take cash.There was a real build to the fire aspect of the show and it was a really fun evening.Thank you for a great night, it's been the highlight of our trip so far.“

“Tucked away in Aina Haina's shopping center, Jack's exudes culinary authenticity, particularly in their all-day breakfast haven. The homemade corned beef hash takes center stage - a sizzling blend of expertly seared corned beef and potatoes, accompanied by gravity-defying grilled biscuits. Beyond breakfast, Jack's specials beckon with the sweet and sour ribs, where pork ribs, slow-cooked to tender perfection, are drenched in a tangy-sweet sauce that promises a symphony for your taste buds. It's not just a meal at Jack's; it's a journey through flavors curated with passion and mastery, making every bite an extraordinary experience.“

“Perhaps because it's a Japanese owner, it had a Hawaiian taste, but it was very delicious with the seasoning that Japanese people like.The customer service was great with a smile, and I had a great time with my family.I'm also happy that happy hour is long until 6:30 ♪It may be difficult to find as it is on the 3rd floor of the building, but it is worth a visit.“

“The girl behind the counter was awesome. Hawaiian kindness you always hear about in full swing. I got some pork tacos and a burrito and they were fantastic. She offered some hot habinero sauce when I said I like hot food. It was not that hot but great flavor. Plus this location you can grab leonards for desert.“

“Food was great, the restaurant family was very friendly and patient with our picky 5 year old water. Grandma brought out a bunch of things for him to try, she was so kind and thoughtful. Also, come hungry or expect to bring home a lot of leftovers... The pork dishes we ordered came in very generous portions, I could only put away about half of my crispy pork belly before I hit my food wall.“

“Came here with the husband as we both had a day off. We don't normally dine at bar and grills type of place but I was craving for the works fried rice so bad. Arrived here not knowing they open at 4pm. imagine...me so desperate to eat here that I made my impatient husband wait it out for 1 hour in the parking lot while I napped 355pm. My alarm went off. Walked in, they seated us immediately right next to the TV. My kind of dining. I'd rather talk or watch tv while I eat instead of be on my phone. Looked at the menu, Spock out the happy hour menu! Cheap eats foreals! Tiffany (I remembered her name! Trust, if she's ur server when u done in - SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF U) was our server. She let us know of the portions sizes of all that we wanted to order. She recommended a few things. She chatted and joked with us making us feel like family. When the food came to our table, we didn't wait long for everything to come out but everything was nice and hot temperature wise. Pork chop - my husband was raving about this and I HATE PORK. But I tried it and was fried to perfection. Golden brown coat, seasoned well and moist. Fried Ahi Belly - I ate majority of this . Golden brown, no fishy taste, really moist and flaky in the inside. Yakisoba - we thought that it was going to have a burnt taste due to a little char BUT it was nice. Like a little Smokey taste to it. The works fried rice - the WINNAH! Even though I pluck out the pork from it, I'm in love with this fried rice! Kalbi - perfect portion since I'm the only one who eats this lol. Great marinade to it. Slight sweetness with a nice char taste from grill and meat was cooked to perfection! Fired Chicken - was the least favorable. It's supposed to be with a Korean sauce but I didn't want it sauced. I hoped for more seasoning on the coating batter. Drum roll please..........THE BEST BROWNIE SUNDAE I HAD EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! freshly baked, not sweet at all, it was like a flourless brownie and it was a velvety fudge chocolate that melted in ur mouth. I could have done without the chocolate sauce and put a little crunch on it like Oreos but man oh man was this BOMB!“

So good, and love the staff they work very hard! Mahalo“
