    This place was such a delicious surprise! It is located at the shopping/outlet area of a beautiful hotel (I believe a Hilton chain?) it’s literally a hole in the wall and has ten tables for 20 guests to eat outside at the patio. The food is well priced, portions are big and food is delicious! We got the pineapple smoothie, garlic shrimp appetizer and coconut shrimp appetizer. The real knock outs were the coconut shrimp and pineapple smoothie. Everything was beyond fresh! It’s a bit of a wait to get your food but the atmosphere on that patio is wonderful so soak it up!

    Best food and best value by far in the resort. The food is delicious and they are very consistent. They also have great customer service. One of the few places where your plate looks exactly like the photos on the menu, if not better. We stayed a week and ate there 3 times.

    Good food and great spot for take-out! This place is usually really busy so ordering ahead is a much better option. The Ahi had a great flavour but unfortunately it was overcooked. We also tried the Hawaiian BBQ Guava Chicken for the first time and really enjoyed it. I would also recommend the Calamari Steak if you are looking to try something different. The rice that comes with each meal is always perfectly cooked and the corn is a nice addition. All in all this is a good spot for seafood and BBQ meals.

    We were expecting to pay too much for too little, poor quality food. Boy, were we surprised with what we got. Prices ranged from about $15 to $22 for a large-portion dinner. The food was above average, but not quite high-end restaurant quality. We had the Steak & Shrimp, Hawaiian Chicken, Poke, and Red Snapper. All came with sides of rice, corn, and salad. Though you order at a counter, the friendly service staff makes sure you get a table and brings your food and drinks to you. And everything came out rather quickly. Overall, this was a good value for a place that is conveniently located in the Hawaiian Village.

    We got the garlic shrimp and the scallops as take-out. Flavor-wise the food was amazing, absolutely no complaints. However the garlic shrimp was almost impossible to eat. It's not peeled, full tail & legs on, and completely covered in garlic butter sauce. The menu doesn't state this, or else I'd have ordered something else. Peeling the shrimp was not possible with the plastic utensils provided, and not very pleasant to do by hand.

    The shrimp and calamari here were amazing, my mother tried the grilled chicken and loved it. Food looks beautiful and tastes just as good. Definitely recommend stopping here if you are after garlic shrimp or local tastes for good prices, friendly staff. Great environment

    Good food at very reasonable prices near to the Hilton Beach Resort. Decent portion sizes. We ordered the spicy shrimp, chicken quesadilla, garlic bread and the pineapple smoothie... liked all but the smoothie and shrimp definitely were favorites. Only downside is that there are only a handful of tables (~8-10) for dining in and there did seem to be a big queue for pickup orders.

    Huge portions, super friendly staff. We had the Hawaiian BBQ chicken (our FAVORITE), calamari steak, spicy garlic shrimp, and coconut shrimp. Each dish was super fresh and was perfectly seasoned. We had a pineapple smoothie - comes in the actual pineapple itself. We also bought an Ube cookie (available at the front) and it was super good! Tasted like a soft sugar cookie. Best restaurant we’ve tried so far!!

    Wow the food here is really good! I honestly wasn't expecting much, it is a small shop that didn't look like much on the outside. The food we got was amazing! I had the BBQ pork ribs (pictured) and my sister got a chicken dish. They were both cooked perfectly with great flavor. The meat on mine was literally falling off the bone, I could use a fork to eat it. My cousin got the fish which she loved as well. We were all pleasantly surprised by the place. We got take out because the dining area they do have is so small, most people were doing the same. The food was hot when we got it so they are efficient and serving it so it's not sitting on a window. A great experience, I would highly recommend.

    Heads up, I was a little difficult for us to find. So to make it easy for you, walk to round table, there’s a restaurant to the right of it, go past that one and it’s tucked away in the corner behind a store so you can’t really see it from the main path. Food was delicious, the staff were super helpful. They were even apologetic for the rain that started during our meal. (Outdoor seating only). Fish and chips…. Probably the best I’ve had according to my pallet because I’ve had many styles of fish and chips. I got the Steak and Shrimp (spicy) and I was all all good to me. The steak was a med-med rare which I’m all about. I did dip the steak in the spicy garlic sauce to help it out a bit. The cheeseburger I could have ordered and been happy with also since I got a sample when I had to help my daughter finish it off.

    First time visiting Honolulu and will definitely be back!!! So many tasty choices, however, the boxes of stacked fresh pineapple and the aroma of fresh cooked food made me stop! The seafood plate special caught my eye and it did not disappoint! The seafood was well seasoned, fresh pineapple smoothie was tasty, and amazing quality service! Great food at a affordable price. I will definitely be back!

    Great experience! Staff was outstanding and was very attentive even during the rush. Food was very flavorful and not overcooked. Our family tried the garlic shrimp, coconut shrimp, and snapper, and pineapple drink, all delicious. Highly recommend stopping in for a meal.

    Aloha, Found this tucked away alfresco dining area while shopping. Customers order @ the counter and the staff bring the food and beverages to you. There's about 6 or 7 tables with large umbrellas for shade. The customer service with a smile or a response was non existent until I gave her a $10 tip for $60+ meal. Anyway, we ordered the poki entree, garlic shrimp w/ shells and bbq chicken rice plate. The poki was fresh but it was too salty! The chicken was grilled perfectly and the shrimp was fresh with lots of flavor. Overall, I would not go out of my way to eat here. I was looking forward to eating some Ono poki. My other go to restaurants are closed today, Mondays.

    Went there twice to eat during our stay. The first time was with family ( who happened to be there as well , overlapped one night with our stay). A lot was ordered on the table and we were not able to grab all the pictures though the ones in here are a few of those from that dinner. The food was good and seemingly there was no wait since we ordered right around 9:30 PM and it came out fast as well. They were out of the coconuts and someone on the table did definitely try the pineapple slush and it did come out great. 4 stars is because of the second time when I went in there to order and pick a meal and had to wait for 47 Minutes ( was told 45 initially) and the food looked to be done in a rush as well which anyways was too late for me to react to it since I was eating it in my room in the tower. Otherwise a good spot to come by and grab a bite though beware of the wait times in the evening hours.

    This place has great food and I loved the open air eating. The presentation is perfect. They are reasonably priced for the location. It is busy but you will love the food and understand why. We came at some off hours to avoid the crowd. My wife and I love this place and all they offer. I highly recommend multiple trips to try all the different meals. We had a great time.

    I love that you can order online and pick up. We had a long day and it was so nice to click a couple of buttons and get our food to take up to the room. Don't let the price tag scare you, there is a lot of food in this box! I loved that there was a protein, starch, grain, and vegetable in there. My husbands salmon was delicious and my garlic shrimp were decadent. It's definitely a nice little "treat yourself" meal.

    Nice atmosphere and very short waiting time when we went there. Prices are reasonable given the amount of food you get and the location of the restaurant. However, they are not consistent with their dishes. We ordered three surf n turfs, and one of the plates only got dry corner pieces of meat. The fish was really good! And the shrimp was perfect! Service was okey!

    This place had a nice menu selection, and the food we got from here was good. We enjoyed the coconut shrimp, garlic shrimp, fish and fries, and the Hawaiian chicken. The wait was not that long for the food. The only drawback is no indoor seating and the birds something they can't control.

  • 5/5 Hafsa S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a hidden gem in Oahu. Their fish and chips and garlic shrimps are super delicious. Love their crispy sweet potato fries! Serving is generous and not heavy on the pocket. They are the ones with the famous pineapple shake served in a pineapple. The perfect Hawaiian drink. Its located in a very tight corner in the Hilton village and is mostly super busy and you have to wait to get a table unless you arrive at an odd hour. Sitting is outdoors in partial shade and you will have some birds at your feet hoping that you drop some of that delicious fish or something! Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Lauren O. 5 months ago on Google
    It’s unreal how good this seafood is - especially for how well-priced it is. The mahi mahi and the tuna are perfection. We came back here multiple times while staying at the village. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Chris P. 1 year ago on Google
    There are two bad things about this little gem - finding it and limited seating. But the food and prices make those problems inconsequential. This an informal place. Order at the counter and then find a seat. Seating is outdoors. The place is tucked into a small corner of a courtyard inside the Hilton complex. If you haven’t been here, you will probably need to ask someone for directions. The seating was comfortable and felt cozy, but I wouldn’t want to eat here in the rain! Still the service was exceptionally fast and the food was excellent. Refer to my pictures.

  • 5/5 Lisa D. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village center. They have good seafood and excellent value. Each of the entrees we orders was really good and has a sizable portion. We ordered the steak & shrimp combo and calamari steak entrees that came with salad, rice and stream corn. The presentation on the plate looks beautiful as well. The place was packed, but the service staff was very efficient and friendly. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 Shannon P. 1 year ago on Google
    First day we got into Hawaii we hit this place up and we were not disappointed! Food was sooo good! I could have dined there all weekend but we had other places to try! Chicken was the best and the clams yum! Service was impeccable. Outdoor seating only. As with any eating in Hawaii you won't be able to find much under $15-$20 for cost for food.-but well worth it!

  • 5/5 K L. 1 year ago on Google
    Situated in the heart of Hilton Hawaiian Village, this gem of a place is our favorite when we visit Hawaii since many years ago when they were at the International Market Place. Their Garlic Shrimp is a must-have! Tried their Poke and the Chicken BBQ for the first time and it was just as delicious. Loved the ambience and the service. Would always return to this place.

  • 5/5 Shabi R. 2 years ago on Google
    This place serves up some amazing dishes. Anything you get would satisfy you. Portions are good… just don’t worry about prices, you are in Waikiki. Mahi Mahi and Fish and Chips are at the very top of my list.

  • 5/5 Oliver F. 2 years ago on Google
    The Ucapaca ( i think that's how it is spelled) is so delicious. The fish and its taste create an explosion of your taste buds. I will highly recommend it.

  • 5/5 Logan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious loco moco (at least the two bites I had of it since we got it for our son). Courteous, friendly woman took our order. Only complaint is of course the price ($17 or so). But if course this is in the middle of a Hilton complex in Waikiki, so the price is more or less par for the course. Small, pleasant outdoor seating area.

  • 5/5 Danielle C. 2 years ago on Google
    I ate here several times during my trip. They serve the best fish and chips I've ever had in my entire life. Highly recommend calling in ahead and picking up your order due to how popular it is, but it's absolutely worth the wait.

  • 2/5 Shane T. 2 years ago on Google
    Food looked great ..tasted pretty dang good, but you get better value for "hawaiian style" food anywhere else on island. The girl at the counter was extremely rude and not knowledgeable of the new covid guidelines. Children 12 and under are exempt yet she demanded id for the child...he 10 he doesn't have an id. Then added that they would find us a table after ordering, but didn't, and gave attitude when we sat at the next available since everyone was walking up and just taking them. Definitely not a restaurant that deserves to be in the Hilton Village.
