This is my parents go to place when in town-you know I worry about them when they go out to eat esp. nowadays.

We sat down and Kaira ( may be spelling it wrong) is one of their regular servers and said " the regular"??? This warms my heart. Always love it when others looking out for our kupuna! It's a very homey feeling here and food is fresh! Don't be sidetracked by the prices -everything has gone up but the smiles and spirit of aloha lives well here!!! Mahalo staff!!!!

The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you arrive. While it can get busy, the line moves quickly and efficiently. The coffee is rich, flavorful, and full-bodied, and the açaí bowls are fresh with ingredients you can tell are high quality. Everything we tried was consistently excellent. Needless to say, this is one of the places we'll miss most from our trip, and we're already planning our next visit.

I hadn't been to the Kapolei location in quite a while, and I noticed they now have a new ordering…read moresystem. You can either stand in line and order as before or grab a table, scan the QR code, and order and pay directly from your phone. We decided to try the mobile ordering option. I ordered the Original Acai Bowl. As always, the presentation was beautiful, but the acai itself was disappointing. Instead of the thick, spoonable consistency I was expecting, the base was more like an acai smoothie. If I wanted a smoothie, I would have ordered one. The toppings were great, but the consistency of the acai really changed the overall experience. Service also felt minimal. Since we ordered and paid on our phones and had to get our own water, the only service we really received was having our food brought to the table. We still tipped around 20%, but it didn't feel like the level of service matched the tip. Overall, this visit didn't live up to my previous experiences here. While I appreciate the convenience of the new ordering system, the change in the acai bowl and the limited service make me question whether I'll be returning anytime soon.

Our server was absolutely wonderful and so attentive, which made the experience even better. And the buffet... WOW. Normally buffets can be hit or miss -- where a few things are great and the rest fall short -- but everything here was so flavorful and well done. Every dish we tried was delicious. Of course the crab was amazing, but one of my favorite surprises was the ramen station. So good. Such a great night and we will definitely be back.

My favorite was of course the snow crab legs and their clam chowder, poke and their catch of the day! I went back for seconds on the snow crab legs because I can never get enough of it. I was not thrilled about their prime rib, pancit or ribs because the pancit and ribs had that 5 Chinese spice taste and I'm not a fan of that at all. I want my pancit to taste like pancit! However, their service was nothing short of fabulous. Their waitstaff was so attentive and helpful knowing that it was my first visit. Highly recommend checking this place out and going to the driving range afterwards to digest your food :)

The atmosphere is open, breezy, and always buzzing, especially when the band starts up. It's the kind of place where you can roll in with family, friends, or your whole canoe crew and feel right at home. The menu leans heavy on local comfort favorites appetizers, island‑style entrées, and cocktails that go down easy. Portions are solid, flavors are consistent, and the drinks come out fast even when the place is packed. Moani's happy hour is one of the best parts -- perfect for grabbing a drink before dinner or chilling after shopping. Based on current listings and typical offerings at Moani's Kapolei location, happy hour usually includes: Discounted signature cocktails, Beer specials, Reduced‑price pupus like wings, fries and more. Moani is known for its live music, featuring local artists almost nightly. It's lively but not overwhelming -- you can still talk story at your table without yelling. The crowd is a mix of families, couples, and groups celebrating something (because someone is always celebrating something at Moani). Moani Bar & Grill is a solid Kapolei pau hana spot -- good food, strong drinks, live music, and a happy hour that makes it easy to unwind without breaking the bank. If you're already cruising Ka Makana Ali'i, it's one of the best places to stop, chill, and enjoy the West Side vibe.

We came here based on a suggestion from our hotel staff they said it was great "local food" we were…read moreinterested and saw that they had fried rice on their menu so we were excited to try it. The vibes are good with live music but the music is LOUD so be prepared you have to talk pretty loud to hear the people at your table. The gluten free menu is available but it is limited. The server was fantastic about answering questions and honestly she was the best part of the meal. I ordered the edamame and shrimp fried rice my mom ordered the Caesar salad. The portions are LARGE plenty for 3-4 people to split let alone two. Caesar salad was standard and good from what my mom told me. Edamame- I probably would not order this again. It was fine, but I didn't love the seasoning blend on it personally there are other things I would be interested in trying. Shrimp fried rice- I was really excited to try this and I was really hoping that it would be excellent and it was OK. The shrimp was cooked well and the fried rice just felt like it needed some more butter and it was lacking some of the things that make fried rice, fried rice like a fried egg so overall not my favorite dish. The gluten-free menu was pretty limited on options for me to try so I would probably go to somewhere else to try and get fried rice in the future.

But, the one thing I will not recommend here is the hamburger loco moco - the patty was super hard and had no flavor at all. The gravy was also bland and a bit too thick/gelatinous in my opinion...definitely SKIP! If you order takeout check your food and make sure you have all your condiments. I asked if they put syrup and butter in my bag and drove all the way home to find nothing inside :/

We got the banana pancakes, corned beef hash moco, and Vinha D'Alhos. All were comforting, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a local breakfast spot. We ordered five pancakes thinking we'd finish them but only made it through three. The aunty at the counter knew better and served it in a to-go container. She even brought us extra plates because she knew we were going to share everything. That kind of thoughtfulness really stood out. She asked if we wanted the corned beef hash crispy and of course we said yes! The banana pancakes were hot, soft, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The Vinha D'Alhos was hearty and satisfying, perfect tang alongside the pancakes. The aunty working the counter was filled with aloha, and it was obvious she was adored by both the staff and other patrons. They were in the middle of cleaning when we arrived, but it didn't hinder our experience at all. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and we genuinely had a good time. This place feels like one of those spots where you're treated like family. Definitely coming back.
