    There aren't that many Hawaiian cuisine restaurants here in WNY, so it's a delight to have one here in Elmwood Ave. Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlets) is a favorite food of mine and I am glad that they cooked it very well and I enjoyed the sauce that goes with it. Goes great with shredded cabbage, warm macaroni salad, and rice all included in the order for just under $12. My only real complaints are that the inside of the restaurant is awfully bland and could use a good decor to make it more pleasing and relaxing to dine in to. Also their website so far can't accept online orders at this time.

    Staff was super friendly. They have a lot of great food options and I was very happy with what I got! I ordered Spam Musubi and Chicken Katsu. They also have good bubble tea.

    Always a great experience! Food is always fresh, delicious, and consistent! I couldn’t be happier! Took me a long time to find my go-to place for a Salmon/Tuna Poke bowl! Hands down the best place for it in all of Buffalo! I can’t stop ordering - that’s how delicious it is every time. I referred all my friends here, and will only order from them. Give them a chance and try the poke bowl, you won’t be disappointed! Thank you so much 😊

    I got the pork katsu and galbi rib tips. Thought it was pretty good. Wish I got more rib tips or just meatier ones. Also wish the “salad” was more interesting but it’s just cabbage. Mac salad was good I would get extra of that next time!

    Was open during the blizzard of ‘22. Super nice hard-working staff and amazing food! Great lunch deals and $10 Ramen Wednesdays

    Very good! A little walk away from the heart of Elmwood, but portions are generous and food is delicious. I liked my build your own poke bowl.

    My husband is from Hawaii and absolutely loves this place. It has probably the most flavorful ramen I’ve ever had and is really awesome for the price. Has lots of classic local still Hawaiian food that is delicious and definitely worth a try!

    We tried this place for the first time today and we love it. It is reasonably priced and very good size of portions. It was so much that I couldn’t even finish my poke bowl. One thing they could change it up is the decorations. It is kind of bland or looks like more of a take out place than dine in. But other than that it is fresh and quick food.

    Delicious food with healthy ingredients! Service was incredibly quick and friendly. Only feedback I could offer is to clarify which ingredients are vegan, like dressings or mix additives. Look forward to eating here again.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in Buffalo! All fresh ingredients, lots of options for customization, and you get a lot of food for your money. One bowl will easily feed me for 2 meals.

    Very big portions, and absolutely delicious. I had one of their "build your own" poke bowls. I can't wait to come back again, and I highly recommend this place to anyone who's curious to try it.

    Ordered take out (poke bowls) from here and it was delicious. Everything was very fresh and colors of the bowls were very vibrant. I like that they chop up the poke bowl so it has a shredded texture. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.

    Love Hawaiian food especially poke. Saw this place Great Wall and thought I would give it a chance. My fiancé and I both ordered poke and some appetizers. Everything was perfect. All of the hot food was fresh and delicious. The poke was portioned perfectly and the staff were friendly. If you check my review history you’d see I tend to be a bit harsh. This is because I’m a realist. That being said I’m happy to rate Waikiki Poke and Grill 5 stars.

    Expansive menu and everything we've had there so far was super fresh and very tasty. It's rare for a place to have so many options and deliver on every one of them, especially when it's a unique cuisine like the hybrid Japanese-Hawaiian cuisine they feature here. Great to have something like this right in the city instead of only catering to UB students in Amherst.

    Tried the vegetable spring rolls, cream cheese wontons, and vegetable dumplings. Everything was good, as were the sauces.

    Their plate lunches are the closest to Maui I will get again for a while lol. They are also so sweet, I ordered on Uber eats, and told them I wished they had a “extra Mac salad” option, and they loaded my order with Mac salad. You guys are the best. Thank you for bringing some Hawaiian style cuisine to Buffalo!!!

    I came in for business reasons and grabbed some food to go. They set themselves apart from other Asian-mix style cuisine. Very nice people! I would definitely stop back in to dine-in. I prefer fresh unprocessed veggies and they deliver that and more!

    Stopped in for a dinner and quite frankly it was very disappointing. I got the two protein option with chicken Katsu and beef ribs; this came with rice, macaroni salad and raw cabbage…no dressing or nothing. The Kay’s was good but that was it. The ribs were undercooked and extremely bland. I asked for some sauces and was surprised to find they had diluted these as well. For 16 dollars, they could at least provide the sauce in its full potent and do better cooking the entrees.

    Seriously yum!!!! We stopped at this new restaurant today for lunch, and had a great time! The fish is fresh and delicious, and they have great toppings. Our lunches were delicious, and the people working behind the counter were friendly and happy to tell us about the sauces. So glad to have this great poke restaurant in Elmwood Village! We will definitely be back!

    REALLY. GOOD. FOOD. I drove by and saw this new spot in an old place I use to visit and was very intrigued. So I googled the menu and saw they had lots of Hawaiian/Japanese cuisine I’ve always wanted to try and so I turned my car around and immediately bought a bunch of foods to try! I got the Hawaiian plate with pork katsu, Spam musubi (SO EXCITED FOR THAT!) Takoyaki, Seaweed salad and Doughnut balls. Let me tell you, everything was SO good! My niece who’s a VERY picky eater even liked some of the foods although she wasn’t fond of the Takoyaki but that’s ok! More for me! 😋 I will definitely be going back again! Friendly, fast and efficient staff and a bright fresh makeover to the inside makes this place one of my new favorites and a must for everyone!
