Choak O'Connell: Try the deep fried calamari, tom yum soup, chili sauce fish & stir fried glass noodles.
Kate Boyko: This is a place to go for a really really good food! Go for spring rolls with shrimps and seafood in garlic sauce. Actually, go for anything on the menu! You won't regret!
Amber M.: Order the Chicken Panang or the Drunkard's Noodle. Thai hot is a great way to order here!

Caroline: Bucca's Fried Calamari is so yummy!
*🌴Cheryl G🌴 🌸😍🌸: Great place to celebrate your Birthday, they make you feel special with all the singing & applause!
HONOLULU Magazine: Try the cheese manicotti, which oozes ricotta, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses from its large, tube-shaped pasta shells. It can easily feed two people. Featured in our annual Restaurant Guide!
Susan Yee-Loh: Lobster in 3 different flavor styles ...They are very good and consistent in their preparation....the deep fried stuff tofu is very good as well...do is their pepper salt deep fried calamari
Kevin Tak: Good for two or parties. Oyster and shrimp are so good and very reasonable price for all dishes. Please share the plates with four or more people, so you might have variety of seafoods.
Bixby Ho: Awesome service with a smile. Always something new to eat!
rabid squirrel: I liked the Uncle's Special Donburi. Fresh ahi, hamachi, ikura, spicy tuna, fried calamari over sushi rice. Yum!
China Anderson: Great place to pop in for a causal lunch or dinner to get fresh seafood. Fresh Oysters on the half shell and live local entertainment!
Anela: Their Ahi Belly plate is to DIE FOR!! And if you're looking for dessert, 'cause doesn't have any on their menu at the moment, just head over to Niko's next door for a cheesecake (the lilikoi is ono).

Christelle Cenatiempo Jorda: Exceptional Shabu Shabu! I loved it... Every ingredient was tasty, the Kobe beef was a great deal, the vegetables : perfect, even the rice was delicious! Green tea was great too. I highly recommend!
Electric Bamboo: If you have a friend named Ricky, you can make jokes about skin discomfort with him over here. Works with women named Rikki too.
Agatha Viernes: It's known for their nabe but a friend told us to come for their sukiyaki and it was sooooo good! Did not disappoint! The meatballs are so tasty and the prime beef dipped in the egg wash is yummy too.
nai nai: kushiyaki from the friday/saturday izakaya menu: in dish, oysters. also, chicken (foreground) & quail eggs.
Jonathan Tashima: Only 25 servings if Kurobuta pork katsu are available each day. If they still have it, jump all over it. You will not be sorry, nor will you ever have better tonkatsu!
Keiter S: No.1 Japanese food in Waikiki.
Brendan Goldfarb: All of the fresh fish are amazing and super tasty. I like the blackened and Cajun preparations. Fish tacos are another good choice. Prices are reasonable for the location. Highly recommend.
Muriel Ancheta: The Mahi Mahi Burger is grilled to perfection. Portion size is huge! worth the price!
Rachel: Oahu offshoot of original Maui fish spot in Paia. Bigger and shinier, with same customizable fresh catch options.

A Y: In addition to a stunning meal, do save room to try the tiramisu! It is positively wonderful, deliciously creamy, and decadent..... maybe worth a trip into Waikiki for desert alone!
Sebastian Ko: The squid ink spaghetti was seriously delicious... better than I had in Venice, even. Try it with a glass of pinot grigio.
Jennifer Lieu: Uni Pasta FTW!

Diner · Ala Moana - Kakaako · 93 tips and reviews
Mike Folkert: Get the pork chops, kimchee fried rice, and the steak. You will leave happy (but waddling)!
Nathan Kam: The pan fried pork chops are to die for here...but so is the fried butter poundcake. You've been warned.
Epicurious: A restaurant's ultimate 5-star review is the presence of off-duty chefs eating at its bar. Classic dishes are supplemented by more unconventional dishes to form a well-rounded, delectable meal.

Jenny Ching: Ahi tuna salad or burger (get the burger on a soft bun). Service is super fast even though it was busy!
Diana Jeon: Great pesto shrimp
Nathan Kam: You know that saying, patience is a virtue? Expect to test that saying when you lunch here. It's busy as hell on most days, but the food is worth the wait.
Casey Lau: If you only have room for dessert this is the place. Sure it's a chain around the US but it's selection of cheesecake by the slice is mind blowing. Right next to the Waikiki Apple Store.
Catherine Maisonneuve: Wait to put your name on the list so you can wait to get the pager to wait some more to get your table... but we'll all do it anyways
Noelle Relles: You can go here in any major US city, go somewhere local and unique!
