    Highly recommended even if you have young kids. NO LONGER A BUFFET. Excellent full service fine dining. Our Server was Norman; I have never encountered a more forgiving and graciously tolerant Man. Here we were, settled at a lovely table and ready to appreciate an excellent eating experience when our 2-year old granddaughter nocked over a glassful across a third of our table. Norman didn’t utter a sound and quickly order to our table. Later when our 4-year old granddaughter loudly objected to her specifically ordered Disney Pizza, we were not ejected from the restaurant; instead we noticed 4-year olds objecting with similarly loud sounds … it was a soundscape. With that said, the food was excellent and worthy of praise. The courteous service was aboveboard and appreciated beyond words; thank you, Norman. Dinner was more than the fixed price of $62, i.e., more than $100 per adult because we tipped generously and appreciatively for the excellent food quality and willing service. (Please click 👍🏼. Thank you. )

    We had an unexpected dinner here as our luau down the street was cancelled last minute. I'm so happy to have had the chance! No reservations here, so we got in line at like 4:45 for the opening at 5. We were second seated and ordered almost every small plate. Loved the gratin dish and bang bang fries most of all! One of our guests got the sushi and enjoyed it immensely. The service was absolutely top notch, and it's such a cool little place! Kids welcome, but if poor weather you of course will be seated inside with all high tops/bar area. We had a great time!

    The food was fantastic and overall a great experience. Live music and a great ambiance. If you call, you can normally get a reservation whether or not you are staying at the hotel. Incredible sushi and good drinks. Good for families or adults and very friendly service.

    This may have been our best meal at Aulani! We grabbed a late dinner in The Olelo Room and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere is relaxed, the live music is lovely! The food and drink are all delicious! We ordered the pork tonkatsu, bang bang fries and Peking duck roll! I also had the Li Hing Margaritas (special ordered as zero proof). Everything was tasty and great portions. Our server Kanai was super friendly and helpful. This will not be a quick meal if you’re looking to be in and out, but it is a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the evening! Loved it!

    Wonderful atmosphere with a delicious menu of authentic prestige quality Hawaiian food. The cocktails were delicious and delivered in presentation. The wait team created a welcoming experience and ensured the table was comfortable. The live outdoor music paired alongside a magnificent sunset exceeded the expectations of my family.

    My family and I enjoyed going here in the late evenings for drinks, sushi and dessert. They had the same desserts available here as Makahiki. This gives you the option to have a smaller meal so you are not too full to enjoy finishing a dessert.

    We were staying at Aulani and decided to get a drink at The Olelo Room. Jubilee, a Disney cast member, came over to our table to share some Hawaiian history and gift us some homemade Ti leaf creations. She was very passionate at her storytelling. This was my 4th visit to Hawaii, but the first time I learned so much about the culture.

    Such a great find! I didn't realize that even if you aren't staying at Aulani, you can eat here. They have the best assortment of appetizers! We tried so many different things... Peking Duck hand rolls, sliders, Asian style wings... The drink menu is fantastic. Full of cocktails, sangria, wine, local beers and even port. The live music was an awesome unexpected surprise and the staff was beyond cool! We'll definitely be back!

    Delicious but expensive. Service was perfect. Pork katsu was the best and I enjoyed the king crab sushi but at $20 for 2 pieces I can’t quite recommend.

    Had appetizers. Very good! Several cocktails. Very good! We have visited 3 times. The staff are wonderful, friendly and engaging. Great atmosphere.

    When there's live music outside, be prepared to wait. Hostess will take your mobile number & call when a table opens up but when that'll be is anyone's guess depending on weather and the moods of the people already seated. Drinks are good, strong without overpowering. Desserts are simply okay, not as interesting as their description & (spoiler alert) smaller than you'd think, too. Remember, this is the new Disney where 'less is more' & in this case it's a EasyBake Oven sized pastry. In short: sit outside, grab a drink, and save your $ and skip desert

    Great place for a drink and something light. The drink selections are great and the staff is wonderful.

    After experiencing everything that Aulani has to offer during our stay, I can confidently say that this is the best restaurant on property. It's a shame that it's really only open for limited hours at dinner. Also, there are no reservations so you'll potentially need to be patient with their wait-list. That said, it's worth it. They advertise that they serve breakfast, but the only food they had were malasadas. We ate here more than once during our stay and tried a variety of items from the menu. There wasn't anything we were disappointed with. In addition to the food, there's a great cocktail menu and they have live entertainment every evening. If you're planning to visit Aulani make certain that you check this place out.

    We enjoyed a drink and snack here around 915pm. Although it was near to closing time (10pm), we were warmly greeted by Shyann. She was so friendly and attentive, answering all of our questions and returning to check on us repeatedly. The atmosphere was perfect, with the live music under the moon and stars. My husband had the Old Koa Canoe (their spin on an Old Fashioned), which he enjoyed enough to get another of. I had the Lychee en Voyage, which smelled delicious but was a little more tart than optimal for my taste. We shared the bacon cheeseburger sliders and a coffee cheesecake. The sliders were delicious! My husband loves cheesecake, and he was happy with this rendition. All in all, we had a beautiful night cap and bite before heading to bed. I wish they were open a bit later, but its understandable since they are located amidst the hotel guest rooms.

    Let me start with the great part: the atmosphere of this place couldn't be better, especially if you're sitting outside under the stars. They also have live music daily, which makes it even more special. In terms of food, we mostly tried their sushi menu and we thought it was ok, the fish is fresh but the nigiri had too much rice, the soy sauce was a bit salty and the wasabi (in the shape of Mikey ears) was somewhat hard.

    The food was amazing. They had a live band playing some calming tunes and I love koi so the koi pond was amazing to look at.
