I ordered the Seafood Tofu Soup, and if you're not too familiar with Korean food and aren't sure what to get, this is a safe and easy choice to start with. One thing I really enjoy about Korean restaurants is all the side dishes they bring out with the meal -- it makes the dining experience feel more complete. I haven't tried many of the other dishes yet, but so far, everything has been good for me. Overall, I'd give this place 4 stars.

Being from Hawaii, we don't play when it comes to Korean food.

We were on a Waikiki staycation thinking it was going to be just another tourist area spot. Nope. This place came out swinging like it had something to prove. The fried rice. I'm calling it right now, best on the island. No debate. No ties. Straight number one. If there's a fried rice championship belt, they're holding it and not giving it back. Kalbi was ridiculous. Whoever is back there cooking deserves a raise and a vacation, then come right back because that was unreal. And the portion size felt like they accidentally gave me two orders and just said send it. Bibimbap was solid too. Only tiny knock is the stone wasn't hot enough to crisp the rice, but at that point I was too busy going to work on everything else to even care. Overall this place is a 12 out of 10. Math doesn't apply here. Line should be out the door 24/7. If it's not, you're all sleeping.

Surprisingly OK food for being resort-owned. We were starving when we got to the hotel around 3:30,…read moreand wanted a bite to eat before dinner. Not much was open for a casual meal, but we happened upon Ono. They were packing up to close, but graciously took our order. We got the beef tacos (3 in an order) and the cheesy bread bites. The tacos were actually super flavorful and had a lot of meat in them. I thought the cheesy bites would be like garlic bread, but they were actually deep fried (like mozzarella sticks). Too gooey for me. Hit the spot as a quick meal before dinner, but was a but pricey (expected since it's a food truck owned by the resort).

The tacos were good. The chicken was crispy and fried to perfection. The sauce was tangy and spicy…read moreand sweet, and it perfectly complimented the cabbage and the sourness of the kimchi. The kalbi beef was just a minuscule mere chunk of fat. The fish was moist and flavorful, yet a little bit dry. The taco lacked sauce, but other than that the fish and vegetables were good. Now, since these were expensive, we were hoping to receive more meat for the price. But since there are many pros, I would recommend anyone who likes tacos or Korean food to try Ono Grindz

There are other similar businesses all set up in this space and it seems like a great place to hang out with your friends or meet new people! My friend and I ended up having a conversation with another tourist who is from Australia. The sweet yuzu glaze salmon was a bit fishy tasting but the yuzu flavour was really nice. The original garlic shoyu ahi was less unique in terms of taste but the fish seemed fresher. I think I would give this place a 3.5/5!

The greatest thing on Da Wheels is a food truck!…read more I found Fujiyama Texas on Da Wheels at the Mō'ili'ili Summer Festival Bon Dance and though it just started it had a line at least 30 peeps deep! So I just took a quick pic of the menu and stood in line cause everything on it just tickled my cravings and instantly knew what I wanted. Their menu just reminded me of the last trip to Japan two years ago and seeing food vendors lined up at Asakusa so you know I was super excited!...as I was closely approaching the front just the second person in line I hear the Taiko team starting the event omg I was getting anxious. Sadly the Yaki Onigiri (my favorite!!!) was sold out....aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Okay plan B...Pork Belly Udon and Yuzu Soda so I ordered that and ran to view the Taiko performance...breathtaking!! Ran back and my order wasn't ready so I'm glad I managed my time perfectly lol! What else is perfect is everything! What a seriously generous portion for $8 the soup was not hot but warm which is perfect enough to manage to consume as the udon was cooked perfectly and is topped with thinly sliced pork belly was amazing! Pairing it with their Yuzu soda was a no brainer at it screamed summer, it's super light not sweet just the refreshing sip you just don't find anywhere. I really wish I could tell you where to find them but their Instagram @fujiyama_texas_hawaii is not updated regularly but their restaurant on S King St seems to be open for service so this is a place I need in my life. Thank you!!!

It's on 2239 Waikolu Way, in Waikiki...a side street connecting Seaside Avenue and Royal Hawaiian Avenue. Parking? Well, a few cars are parked alongside both sides of the narrow two-way road. Most vehicles enter via Royal Hawaiian and exit onto Seaside. Betty's Burgers... the smash burger diner in Mo'ili'ili...is in Unit 1. I believe they opened their second location on January of this year, 2025. Fantastic, affordable smash burgers. Milkshakes are excellent. Next door, Kana Curry just opened for business this December. They offer sweet-n-spicy Osaka curry. Tonkatsu Curry is excellent. Leo' s Taverna offers Greek cuisine in Unit 3. They have locations on Bishop Street and in the Donki Kaheka Food Court. It's been awhile since I've ordered from their Downtown or Kaheka locations. Ezogiku Ramen offers Japanese ramen and gyoza in Unit 5. They have a reputation for offering some of the better ramen on Oahu...which is saying a lot. I think I have to visit. If I recall correctly, they had a location in McCully/Makiki...there's a second establishment in Aiea. Open air food hall. There are several tables and counter seating as well - in the middle of the hall. A hidden gem of a food court.

The location was disappointing. The luau is held on the pool deck of the Marriott. It is not on the beach as we had imagined. Instead of a scenic ocean backdrop, there are large hotel buildings behind the stage. It's a shame because the entertainment itself was actually very good. The food was mediocre, with far less variety than we anticipated. Most of the dishes were underseasoned and nothing really stood out. The oyster fried rice was probably the best item on the buffet. We paid for the VIP package, which included an extra drink, early access to the buffet, closer seating to the stage, and lei making. Even with those perks, the overall caliber of the show, food, and venue felt more like a complimentary resort activity than a premium luau experience. We attended with a group of 14 and ordered from the drink menu. Unfortunately, our waitress was slow to take drink orders, so despite the VIP package, we never even got around to ordering our third (very sugary) drink before the evening was over. Finally, the audience participation was only for about 5 guests. Overall, while the performers did a great job, the food, venue, service, and value simply didn't justify the price. Find yourself a more traditional, beachfront, and engaging Hawaiian experience.
