    Night time
    Shanna N.

    My experience here both times for lunch and dinner was great! Food is always hot and fresh! Tastes great! Service is good! Seating indoor and outdoor! Clean and open! Definitely will be back!

    Lobster and shrimp salad, fish tacos, French dip
    Jasmine I.

    The food was just okay for the price of lunch in Waikiki. The wahoo was unavailable and subbed out with mahi mahi. The French dip was not too seasoned and the shrimp and lobster salad was a little lacking in toppings. Our server was nice but it was hard to get his attention when we were ready for the check. It's a very relaxing place to have lunch with a nice outdoor seating if you're in Waikiki without plans and don't want to worry about the crowds. You don't need to be a guest of the hotel but you do need to have a military ID. There is no valet but you can self park in the garage across the street and get validated after your meal for a discounted rate. If you're in the area and looking for a simple meal without a huge crowd, this is a decent option.

    While staying at Hale Koa for 10 days I ate here often! Lunch & dinner was always scrumptious yummy with awesome staff service. I love their French onion soup so flavorful, I had that often also the salad with papaya dressing was amazing delightful to my surprise I wanted to lick the plate clean! Never disappointed here the staff was so kind too!

    Crab cake

    The food is mediocre here, although the service was pretty good. The chairs are really uncomfortable and there's not much of an ambiance here if you dine inside or out. It was reminiscent of an upscale cafeteria. I could see dining here if you really didn't want to leave Hale Koa grounds, but there is much better food in Waikīkī and the surrounding area. My family wanted to eat here on a whim and we hadn't been in over 5 years. I did enjoy the lobster! It's was perfectly steamed and not overcooked. The filet mignon was very tender but not juicy. There was just something about it that we didn't enjoy.

    We had lunch here lobster shrimp salad with French dip sandwich and Hupia cake that was excellent. Great service fast clean good food.

    King Crab and Filet special

    Bibas Courtyard Grill at the Hale Koa Hotel offers a convenient option to grab traditional American favorites to fresh signature dishes with local ingredients. On this weekday visit it so happen to be the 50th anniversary of the hotel and they had the 50th Anniversary Special - King Crab and Filet Mignon. 1/2 lb King Crab Legs paired with Grilled 6oz. Beef Tenderloin, finished with a red wine reduction. Served with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetables. I just had to select this over all other option as I thought it was a good deal and who doesn't love King Crab. The portions were generous with about a couple of king crab legs and a 6oz tenderloin. It was definitely a good choice as I was completely satisfied. The service was good and attentive and the wait was not long. Bibas Courtyard Grill is an excellent option for fine dining when staying at the Hale Koa Hotel.

    Macadamia crusted red snapper @ Bibas
    Maria C.

    I really enjoyed the food at Bibas Grill. I found their menu selection had a good variety to choose from. The lobster and shrimp salad was very refreshing with a unique papaya flavored dressing which we had for starters. My favorite main dish this evening was their braised beef boneless short rib prepared in a red wine demi glace. It was so tender, rich in flavor, and just melts in your mouth. I also tried their macadamia nut crusted red snapper fish served in a lovely mango butter sauce which was delightful. For dessert our family shared a mango cheesecake as well as their seven layer haupia cake which was a nice way to top of our meal. The only item on their menu that I was not blown away by was their Pina colada beverage. There was nothing special about it in flavor or in its presentation sadly. Other than that, I will say that this restaurant is very decently priced for their menu items and conveniently located for guests at the Hale Koa hotel. The setting in the courtyard, ambience, and staff was great. I will definitely return again my next visit.

    Ribeye
    Nanea W.

    Ordered the ribs and tenders. The ribs were juicy and fell right off the bone, which was definitely the highlight. The tenders and fries were just okay. Service was a bit slow, and while the food was decent, it wasn't anything particularly special. Probably wouldn't come back again.

    I like Biba's. Excellent menu selection of seafood and turf choices. Nice appetizer menu too with suggestions for pairing wine too. Special shout out to the bartenders for a well crafted Old Fashioned, not a usual Hawaiian cocktail but well prepared. The red snapper was excellent with the creamy mango sauce. Highly recommended. Will definitely return.

    Crab Cake
    Jin Y.

    Terrific experience. My son's and I tried our favorite dishes. We were not disappointed. Bibas is located on the ground floor of the Hale Koa Hotel. Parking is available across from the hotel. Reservations are not required. A hostess will sit your party. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Since outdoor seating is popular, I recommend arriving early if you choose sit next to the man made pond. Waiter service was excellent because our server was attentive. We elected to order the Mahi Mahi, Shrimp Scampi, and the Salmon. All dishes had great spices and abundance of food. I highly recommend Bibas.

    Fish tacos
    Tan P.

    Very convenient dining option in Hale Koa. Hardly a wait for lunch on a weekday. Seated very quickly outside. The service was average for speed and friendliness. The ambiance is nice because seating was in a nice hotel lobby, they also have a bar where you can watch tv and order take out. The food was the worse part of our experience. The fish was dry in our fish tacos an fish/chips. The salad was okay. The kid's spaghetti might have been the best item on our table because the meatballs were good. Price was good for Waikiki.

    Brendon was one of our favorite bartenders at the Hale Koa! He is hilarious and very fun to talk to!
    Lori S.

    We ate here several times during our stay at the Hale Koa! The service was top notch and our meals were absolutely delicious every time we dined here. The atmosphere is great and you can feel the nice breeze whether you're sitting inside or outside. The servers at the restaurant are great and the bartenders at the outside adjacent bar are amazing. We can't wait to come back and enjoy the food again, and see the friends we made at the outside adjacent bar.

    Bibas at Hale Koa = vacation vibes, full bellies, and food comas in the best way possible. I ordered the rack of ribs and WOW. I wasn't prepared. This thing was enormous -- like "Fred Flintstone could've shared it with his pet dinosaur" enormous. I had leftovers for two days and honestly, I wasn't mad about it. Tender, saucy, and fall-off-the-bone delicious. We came with friends and kids, and everyone was happy with what they ordered (a rare and beautiful achievement!). The menu has something for everyone, and the portions are no joke. And let's talk about our server -- hilarious! He had jokes, great timing, and just the right amount of sass to keep the energy fun and light. Seriously made the whole night even better. We were cracking up between bites. I wish I remembered his name The courtyard setting is chill and tropical, with just the right breeze and twinkle lights. It's the kind of spot where you linger a little longer just because you're having a good time. Bring your appetite!

Its a few cents more expensive and the portion feels just a tad bit smaller but its still one hell of a deal.

They serve both their lunch and breakfast menu at open but i havent tried their lunch items yet tho seeing from pictures ahhh def gonna try em before i Judge em. They also ask to preorder a day ahead if you want more than 5 Bentos. Cashier always friendly and just like K&M they tap the no tip option before asking you to tap your card A+ on that. They have a tip jar for cash tips if you want to. I though i should mention this too but just like K&M their spam and sometimes their other breakfast meats in the bento just have a weird funk taste to em. maybe its a different brand? Unsure so I dont get them as much any more but if its actually bad im sure someone would have complained or gotten sick. I had their spam omelette and it tasted just fine. So very weird.

Everything was tasty, but if I had to pick one dish to order again, it would definitely be the kim chee fried rice, as the portion was huge & tasted yummy. We also shared a few bottles of mimosas, and the iced mocha was delicious and perfectly chocolatey. One thing to keep in mind is that it can get pretty warm, especially during the summer. They have a large covered area and can cover portions of the restaurant that are getting direct sun, but if you're visiting during the daytime, I'd definitely recommend bringing a portable fan. You could also call ahead and request a table that isn't directly in the sun. Overall, we had a great brunch experience and would definitely come back again!

    I had the chance to dine at Scratch Kitchen in Kapolei back in 2024 for a special Mother's Day…read morelunch with my youngest daughter. I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.
