    We had never experienced a luau before. We didnā€™t want to drive far from where we stayed. We booked literally two days prior. That said, My family really enjoyed the entertainment. Canā€™t give it a 5 star for several reasons. This was held at the center of an outdoor mall. Many spectators stood around and saw the same show we saw without having paid. The drinks were inexpensive, but the drink menu was limited. The food was very good and they served very large portions. It was nice that they included the option to stand up for seconds. My daughter went back for more chicken. Dessert wasnā€™t too good. Everyone put on a great show. We loved how the hosts came to each table, adding a personal touch to the experience. We purchased seating at the 3rd row and saw everything perfectly fine. No need to pay the higher price, which from what we saw, included a very nice lei, and maybe a few additional free drinks.

    This luau is in the middle of a public outdoor mall. With the setting they have selected, it is clear they made every effort to make it a nice luau. Until the food came. For a ā€œall you can eatā€ you can imagine the defeat in my face when it was our turn to get food and they were all out of meat. The remaining food was the biggest disappointment imaginable. A mediocre salad, pasta salad, noodles, and white rice. For $100+ they served meals worth less than $5. For the lack of food in an all you can eat, they attempted to serve alcohol as a replacement. After the day I had running a spartan race I was looking forward to regaining my calories eating good and enjoying a good show. Decided to leave shortly after getting the disappointing plate they called a meal. During the show they also had technical issues and the like. Didnā€™t stay long enough to truly give a review of their show but I assure you, you can find a better place to have a luau than hereā€¦ in the middle of a mall.

    My husband an I were in Hawaii for the first time, we were celebrating our 11 year anniversary and though what better than to go to a Luau, I mean who knows when we would get another chance ya know. We had a great time. Everyone involved was amazing so nice and kept everybody involved very personal. It's not like those big Luaus you see on TV were you just go, watch the people, eat and leave, no they make everybody apart of it. Would Def come back again if we could. Food was great and the drinks were good as well. Got a beautiful Lai as well!

    My husband and I were so happy with our first luau experience. We read the reviews of this luau and other luaus close to Waikiki. Although we could have chosen the one at our own hotel with a beautiful sunset, the reviews for that one were not so glowing. I wanted to be entertained and not bored for 3 hours, so we chose the Queens Waikiki Luau, and Queenā€™s did not disappoint. There were many costume changes, the dances and women were beautiful, the main guy (Thomas?) was able to get the crowd going, and the mother-daughter duo sang songs that I grew up listening to from my dadā€™s Nora Aunor Hawaiian album. The experience I thought was intimate, personable, and amazing. I would highly recommend and see it again!

    My husband and I had an amazing time! The performers were warm and welcoming and put on a heck of a show. It truly felt like they loved what they do and were happy to share their culture. The host MC was funny and was definitely in his element. The location is centrally located in Waikiki and small enough that everyone was able to get dinner quickly and participate in the hands-on activities available before the show.

    We enjoyed every moment! The live music was lovely while we sipped our drinks and watched the sun set. They even showed us how to braid leaves and hula dance. Then the main show started and it was incredible! The performers gave it their all and made this experience amazing. I would recommend this to anyone going to Waikiki!

    The luau experience was top on my list for my Waikiki vacation. I found Queens Waikiki Luau and after reading the reviews decided to go with them, being across the street from the hotel was a major bonus. The reviews were right. The staff was very friendly and so welcoming. The MC broke the ice and got all the attendees involved. The performances were so kind and TALENTED. Dinner was delicious but what I loved most was the intimate setting, just like a family barbecue. I can not recommend them enough! 10/10

    Aloha, Google Maps! This was my first luau, and it was a party that I will remember for years to come! Sight, taste, touch, hearing, and smell were all stimulated at once during the luau, and it was an amazing experience. Dancers from across Oceania came here to show off their wonderful culture, and their equally wonderful dances, all straight from the Pacific Ocean. Whether you're a luau newbie, or a seasoned veteran, this luau is definitely for you!

    This luau was one of the best I have ever attended. It is spirited and interactive. The food was delicious. The entertainment was stunning! This is a fun intimate setting. We took a business group and they were delighted with the evening and trying fire-stick twirling (without the fire, of course), dancing the hula, and twirling poi balls. The professionals made it look easy. Wonderful music and entertainment in a lovely open-air setting. You canā€™t help feel the spirit of Ohana at this luau!!

For anyone visiting ignore the background of the location focus on the history and performance listen to the great music from the sisters, it is a small crowd and that I think is what makes is so special you are able to talk one on onešŸ¤™ Mahalo

    What a fabulous show!. The atmosphere, music, the food were wonderful. It was my first luau and a very special one I won't forget.. My boyfriend secretly told them he was proposing to me. They had him come up on stage to dance. He was announced the King of the luau, and wanted his queen to come up on stage. He got down on one knee and proposed! It was a beautiful surprise. All the dancers and MC were amazing! Mahalo!

    Awesome experience! Easily accessible from the Waikiki area. Food was delicious and drinks were great. Performers were very friendly and put on a fantastic show! I would definitely recommend coming to the show for anyone spending time in the area.

  • 4/5 Margaret G. 1 year ago on Google
    The show was fantastic! Interactive and well paced so that we didn't miss out on any of the show while getting our dinner and drinks. We got to try out poi and fire sticks (without the fire) and were entertained with great music from all over Polynesia. The band members, the MC and the performers were all wonderful. Food was mediocre but everything else made up for it.
