    Where'd the fountain go
    Joe C.

    The Ho'okipa terrace is one of the highlight of the Ala Moana center. It's the highest open air point of the mall and Offers expansive views ala Moana beach park and magic island. There's a lot of restaurants up here, Tanaka of Tokyo, gen Korean bbq and the centrally located mai tai bar which has live music almost daily and can be heard all over the terrace. I always make sure to pass through this section of the mall to see what going on and just the ample dining options and great happy hours. You get a nice view of the koi ponds Below too.

    4/10/26 single slice with a "twist"…read more I got to this location and it was fair that it be busy cause of the rain. I went around and looked at the 5offerings... it was easy for me to choose it had to be quick so I ordered at aloha by the slice. single slice with a "twist" I say twist cause initially I wanted Sausage and humbly the worker (Teddy M) expressed nicely that they didn't have sausage and I asked for ham... now remember I wanted the "single" slice with one"topping" and no sausage but ham was available. If many of you follow my reviews... I don't care for Hawaiian pizza.... The last Hawaiian pizza I had was at "Spitfire Grill" in the Dukes lane Market and that got 5stars BECAUSE- it had pork grinds on the Hawaiian pizza - which by the way is really delicious and I found it an epic addition to the pizza The reason for my 5stars this time is because Teddy decided that he give me a Slice of Hawaiian pizza that has the "Ham" & Pineapple on it.... Even when I asked for the single topping slice... he was perhaps going above and beyond ((there was an impending line in back of me)) so he choose to take the slice already made warm it in the wood fire stove then take it and cut in half.... He did this for the right person... me!!!! Happiness to hit one customer with a slice that had two toppings... I will add that I realized this may not go as well for other people... but if your one to understand the food service part of it then you get where my 5stars comes from... Thanks Aloha by the slice... I'll be going back again. (I'm still not a sucker for pineapple on my pizza)

    Layback food hall. It started raining so we took cover in this food hall. They have a dive bar and…read moreso we got some drinks. There's also a pizza joint that we got pizza multiple times to pass the time. Food hall is cool, except it was really warm inside, I think the AC was broken or something but they need ceiling fans. Lots of options for everyone. Plenty of seating for small to large parties.

There were aunties and uncles out there with their canes. It was a joy to watch everyone dance. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. There is a food court, with a variety of different foods to choose from. There was a stage where the teacher broke down the dances throughout the day. And then there was a large wooden dance floor in front of the stage where everyone danced. There is tables and chairs on the outside and inside of the stage. I haven't dance country line dancing since the 90s. We've come a long way from the achy Breaky heart in the tush push. The dances were interesting and intricate. I definitely got my workout used my brain and use my muscles. The teacher gave free dance in between lessons throughout the day. And then at the end of the day you got to request songs you wanted to dance to. The dance classes are free. There is parking, But the parking lot is a bit small.

I was so surprised that it was so empty at lunch time. We decided to get bahn mi at Munch on Mi. They give you a buzzer thingie when your order is ready. It took about 10 minutes which wasn't bad at all. I got the grilled pork bahn mi and it was really good. The pork was thinly sliced and very flavorful for $15. I also got a Vietnamese coffee for $7. The food court here is clean and if you want to hang out and talk story, this is the place. There aren't any people hovering over you for your seat like other food courts.

    STIX ASIA IS A GEM IN WAIKIKI. Asian food hall galore with so many choices. It's worth coming to if…read moreyou want a guaranteed good meal for you buck. It's not the commercialized restaurants ( sorry Waikiki) that you expect on the strip but it is down home good cooking with some specialties ranging from Japanese l, Korean, Chinese and more flavors. It's a perfect place to go to while you're staying on the strip and you don't want to wait in 2 hour long waits for mediocre food. Take a walk downstairs and enter into an elevated food stall experience. I'm not saying it's fancy, but I am saying it's worth a date night or fun night out with friends and family. Fair warning it has this interesting set up tho that makes it feel like its outside but it's technically at the basement of a mall plaza. So weird because the air conditioning is hit or miss but it's nice because the individual places have their own AC. I expected it to be cooler inside and it wasn't blazing hot but it was humid .... But then again you're in Hawaii lol so expect a little humidity depending on what month you come in. Parking; paid and look for a lot ... I'm not entirely sure but it's walking distance from the strip. Pro tip: it's conveniently located by the Ross. Faves: Hojocha latte and Matcha Lattes found here! Even soft serve! Organic Rice Balls ( onigiri) to go. The closest thing I've found to Motomura Gyakatsu ( with unlimited salad!l and the bear dang tempura tendon I've had aside from Japan. Baby friendly : Yes, absolutely yes. Now they have small tables and areas in some spaces but they make it work with what you have if there's space. I took my 6 month old with a doona stroller here and it fit fine. There were elevators conveniently in located in the space. Restrooms: you need a code from one of the food places and it will be on your receipt. They're pretty clean! Enjoy! Try everything. And it's a really good meeting place for families to try different cuisines.

    Another one of my faves. This food hall is open later so it's a great choice when you're walking…read morearound Waikiki. From the street you just walked. But also validate parking so that's always a plus especially in Waikiki. It's strictly an Asian food court with lots of Ramen, noodle, musubi, udon choices. They have tons of smaller restaurants, so you have many choices as you walk around.

The only thing missing I would say is a pasta eatery.

My faves are Kulu Kulu, L&L and Raising Cane's. This place is packed at night. It's less busy during the day.

The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court located at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center of course! Sometimes when one is on a budget, or if you really don't feel like dining at a regular restaurant, going to a food court is another great option that one can choose to get their grindages on. The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court located at building "B", on the 2nd floor. The food court is open-aired and covered (so that it'll protect you from weather & sun), and it has a lot of clean well kept seating. There are restrooms near by, and I could see that the cleaning staff was very active in cleaning up the tables/chairs at the food court. The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court have the following food eateries - 1. Penny's Malasadas 2. Panda Express 3. Champion's Steak & Seafood 4. Kokoro Cafe 5. Kulu Kulu 6. Mahaloha Burger 7. Pho Factory 8. Poke Waikiki 9. Raising Cane's 10. Wicked Main Lobster A pretty decent selection of food businesses, so hopefully there is something that appeals to everyone. Parking here is pretty easy, as there is a parking structure within the shopping center. If you spend a minimum of $10 bucks, you can get a parking validation for 3 hours. Looking for casual dining? Go check out da Pa'ina Lanai Food Court at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.

    What a great fun place to grab a bite! 5 people with different desires all got a good choice…read moredifferent eateries. Garlic shrimp - no need to drive to the North shore when you can just go to the market eatery located on the 2 nd floor of h- mart. Great garlic shrimp without the travel time! Korean style fried chicken wings - a bit sweet for me but well fried and stayed crispy! Korean spicy pork - no picture but great setup of hot pot rice served w/ hot tea to get every bit of rice - 3 kinds of bachan so good and impressive Beef sukiyaki bowl - just ok serving size a bit small flavor ok Pot stickers aka gyoza- kiddo loved it The only thing we didn't try was the mochi donut - we'll save it for next time ! If you're here for the 1st time - from the parking lot enter H Mart walk towards the back you will find an elevator and stairs that will take you to the 2 nd floor. Once there check out all the eateries before making your selection - there is also a beer garden along with mochi donuts- fried chicken - garlic shrimp - both Japanese and Korean eateries!

This had so much flavor, too! It came out piping hot, so you know it was made fresh. The kimchi salad was good, too. We went around 6pm and it wasn't busy, but since everything is made to order, it took a few extra minutes -- not a big deal. You shouldn't have a hard time finding a seat, there's tons of tables. It's very clean and the vibe is chill. 5/5 recommend going to the second floor food court above HMart. There's plenty to choose from and there's even a bar where you can pour your own beer. Sounds like a good time, we'll check that out next time.

The original IMP consisted of thatched-roof huts offering souvenirs, local crafts, and food. A major renovation in 2016 transformed the IMP into a contemporary shopping and dining destination while still respecitng its Hawaiian heritage. The banyan tree in the shopping center is really impressive. A banyan can reach a height up to 100 feet and spreads laterally indefinitely. Aerial roots that develop from its branches descend and take root in the soil to become new trunks. It's really a highlight of this mall to walk around this enormous tree. There are a huge number of well known stores here with something for everyone. We enjoyed the shopping but did not stay to eat here although there are a lot of options.
