    Spam Musubi for $3.50
    Jin Y.

    Love the breakfast option. You can purchase a breakfast bowl, breakfast burritos, fresh fruit, and more. Great way to start the day with a quick bite. Service was excellent. The staff behind the counter worked tirelessly to fill the orders so the wait time was extremely small (1-2 minutes). The cashier promptly assisted each person so you were put the door in less than 1 minute. There are limited seating outside but you can use the tables at the Barefoot Bar. There are large trash collection points conveniently located with walking distance.

    Vanilla ice cream cone $3.75

    This review is only for their snack bars incredible ice cream. I've been coming to this snack bar since I was a little girl for their ice cream cones. It's my favorite vanilla ice cream. It's kind of icy, yet creamy at the same time. I love the flavor so much. It's gone up in price over the years but it's still cheap for ice cream in Waikiki at $3.75.

    Still a great place to go for lower-priced good food. No tax too. Located inside Hale Koa property. This place is available to public. We always eat breakfast here. Breakfast bowl has eggs, hash browns and choice of meat (bacon, sausage or Portuguese sausage). Starbucks drip coffee available. They have fruit, and breakfast sandwiches too. Lots of kid friendly food they will eat. Service is super friendly. Plenty of seating. You can even sit at Barefoot Bar and view the ocean.

    Happy's is a really affordable place to grab a quick bite to eat if you're staying at Hale Koa. My family frequented Happy's for their breakfast bowls and fresh fruit during our stay. The serving sizes are decent and prices are fairly low compared to prices you'll see in the area. They are open really early too which is great if you're a little jet lagged. This isn't really a restaurant more of a convenience store with outdoor seating. Depending on the time of day there might be a short line but don't worry it will go by quick.

    Best place for fast snacks, ice cream and dinner if you don't want to walk 10-15 minutes to McDonald's, Subway or anywhere else. Breakfast, lunch and dinner food right down the stairs.

    Was passing thru this place and it was getting crowded. The food here is ok but I can tell you a great deal if you are on a serious budget!

    Great place to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack. Perfect service! Eat outdoors and enjoy the fireworks on a Friday night.

    We got a breakfast bowl and it was so much food for under $9. It's so nice to have something reasonable in the area in case you need a bit while on vacation. They had lots of coffee and fruit to supplement your meals. It's a serve yourself kind of place so don't expect there to be waiters or waitresses. There are a lot of birds and seating is all outside and there isn't a ton of it.

    Breakfast bowl and coffee.

    Decent food for a great price. Their menu is a lot smaller now then a few years ago but still several choices. Just no poke. My favorite breakfast item is the breakfast bowl. It's $7.50 and comes with choice of meat, scrambled eggs, cheese, and tater tots. For lunch I had the bbq pork with french fries. You usually can't go wrong with pulled pork! They are great with covid precautions reminded someone right away to put their mask on. The floor is marked with stickers every 6 feet. Vaccine proof currently not needed since you can't eat inside. There are several tables with umbrellas outside.

I love being able to grab my own banchan and sauces. Our server, "Kai", was very attentive and helpful to my family and I. He constantly picked up our plates and trash and always checked on our table. :) The butcher cuts and kitchen food selections were quite fresh and well kept! Most of the time, the shrimps at most restaurants are spoiled without them knowing, but these shrimps were great! Great place for a group dining or with friends and family that doesn't mind the "pub" vibe and lively atmosphere. Inside is a bit warm because of all the grills so I'd dress light. The restaurant playlist had so many throwback songs so we loved that too hahaha Will bring back more friends next time!

I'd definitely recommend sharing so you can mix and match and try a few different meats. The Wagyu was a standout -- incredibly tender, flavorful, and such a fun experience since you get to cook it yourself right at the table. The tonkatsu was perfectly crispy on the outside while still juicy and tender inside. I also loved how kid-friendly they were! They had kid dishes and utensils ready, which is always such a nice touch when dining out with little ones. Great food, generous portions, and a fun experience for the whole family. Definitely a spot I'd come back to next time we're in Oahu!

    I've been coming here for quite some time. It originally started as a Tonkatsu restaurant right…read morenext to a Soba spot. Later they took over the Soba side and opened the Yoshoku section, and now it seems like they've merged everything -- though the menu feels mainly Tonkatsu-focused. I made a mistake this time and didn't order my usual Pork Tenderloin Katsu. I tried the Oyster Mix Katsu (Oyster, Shrimp, Pork Loin), and the seafood pieces had way too much breading -- the actual seafood was maybe half the size of the whole piece, which was disappointing. My partner ordered the Bairin Mix Katsu, so I got to try the Minced Pork Katsu, and that was amazingly delicious. Service was great, and we got a 20% Kamaʻaina discount plus parking validation for the Bank of Hawaii lot for 1.5 hours. One lady made it sound like she was giving us extra time, but the website says 1.5 hours anyway. Note to myself: stick with the Pork Tenderloin Katsu or the Minced Pork Katsu next time.

Some of the offerings are: From the bakery: scones, muffins, bread puddings, cookies, cupcakes, bread, pies, and mochi desserts! The selections vary day to day. I highly recommend the banana-chocolate chip muffins, the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and the scones. If there's fried poi mochi you better jump on that! From the kitchen: the breakfast specials are always on point. Buttermilk pancakes and breakfast crostinis are really quite delightful. I generally go with the fried rice loco moco because it's so filling. Bacon seems to be very popular in this place so make sure you leave room for that! Special events are great! The Table has themed gatherings that are invite-only and the food is plentiful (as well as the laughs). So far there's been a taco bar, a breakfast bar, and one day we had freshly made Rosemary lemon garlic focaccia bread with a spread of the Italian meats and cheeses. The only thing missing was the vino! I understand that The Table is working on their liquor license and they don't recommend BYOB yet as there are some restrictions based on the location. I love this place. Highly recommended!

    Marugame Udon is the perfect spot to hit after a long, draining flight. A warm and comforting bowl…read moreof udon will heal you pretty quickly. We rolled up around 6:30 PM last Wednesday, and the line was quite long. Despite this, it moved quickly since the ordering process is essentially fast casual. Marugame Udon has their signature udon options, or you can build your own bowl and add on different tempura sides. NIKUTAMA UDON (REGULAR) - 12.95 With no brain cells left to think, I ordered one of their two most popular options. While the bowl was a tad small, it came topped with sliced beef, fried onions, scallions, and a soft-boiled egg. The broth was sweet and savory, paired with the tender, sweet beef and onions. The udon itself had the perfect chewy texture and soaked up all that flavor like a sponge. Absolutely delicious, I killed that bowl in less than 5 minutes. Marugame Udon isn't a luxurious experience, but it gets the job done. For the price and convenience, the udon was savory and hearty. Great option for a quick meal and worth a short wait. Definitely one of the better udon options in Waikiki.

This was our first dinner and our first night in Waikiki and I'm already thinking about going back for all of the rest of the nights. We're here that is how good it is. There's always a line, but it actually moves really really really fast, and by the time you chitchat with your companions you'll be at the front in no time. It moves cafeteria style. I got the nikutama, savory beef with chicken Katsu, shrimp tempura and a fried zucchini cause I wanted to feel a little healthy but honestly, I could've just skipped that. My very picky father-in-law even liked it a lot as well 10 out of 10 place. Can't wait to go back.
