It's a Saturday early morning and all the tables were taken. Well except for one-two seater which…read morewas perfect for me. As busy as they were, the staff was friendly and accommodating. It's a nice mom and pop feel with a pane of pexi-glass between tables. It feels like private tables. I had a cup of coffee served in a nice ceramic cup labeled with their name on it. I had a bowl of loco moco which was very good. The gravy was well seasoned and it went well with the white rice. The hamburger itself was flavorful and heavy, just the way I like it. I was here years ago and finally got a chance to drop in. I will be back soon to try other items.

Came here on Father's Day. My boyfriend put his name on the wait list at around 9:00 am. The…read morehostess said it will be around 30 mins. He received a text just a few minutes saying he was put in the waiting list. Decided to just wait in the car. At around almost 40 minutes after, my boyfriend received a text message saying he was no longer on the wait list. So he decided to walk up to the hostess and ask if our table was ready. Hostess said, I'm sorry I don't have you on our wait list. She asked if it was 2 adults and one child, and he said no as it was under the same name. She just said, it might have been someone on the inside that took us out of the wait list. She said sorry and my boyfriend said nevermind, we'll just go somewhere else. I asked if we could go back on the wait list, but she said yes, but you'd have to wait again and thought it wasn't worth it. She said Happy Father's Day to us. I said Thank you. I'm not sure if it's there check in/online message system that was not cooperating. Hopefully if we do plan on coming here and trying again, we don't end up with same experience. We were looking forward to trying the pancakes and other dishes that got great reviews.

SUNDAYS! BRUNCH! ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT! Reservations Almost Disappear As Soon As They Come Available…read more This would be my first attempt at getting a reservation for this restaurant located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Ko Olina, O'ahu. This place is mostly out doors. Mostly covered, too. PRO TIP: if you want Air conditioning, request a table closest to the food. They keep those areas cool. But, it's still out doors. So, if there's breezes going through, there goes your AC. lol. The Food is So Good. There was a Poke Section, a crustacean section, (if you want a lobster tail, head over to the ramen station and request a lobster tail). There's a hot section, salad section, Dessert Section, Carving Station and everyone's favorite, ICE CREAM stations with toppings.. Vanilla & Chocolate are the two flavors...

Food always tastes better with great company and couldn't ask for better company than lunch at La…read moreHiki Kitchen with two of our Oahu ohana during our day trip from Maui to Oahu. Located in the Four Seasons, ambiance of course is unmatched and so much quieter of course than neighboring Aulani. The bao buns were perfect for sharing to start off and was delicious. Although $7-10 more, I still felt the mac nut crusted fish had the best value than some of the other options. The LHK burger is satisfying but for $30 is on the high side even if it comes with the side of onion rings. The eggplant a la plancha was really light as it was one eggplant steak with labneh. For $27, I would have thought it would have come with more than one slice. But I guess if you can afford the Four Seasons, this is just a drop in the bucket. But if you're just coming for lunch, it may be sticker shock for that dish. Service was wonderful as expected with a Four Seasons and they were so sweet to give my husband a complimentary dessert for his birthday.

Disclaimer: I have a high quality preference for coffee…read more The coffee was overpriced and unfortunately made. Watery, no texture, no flavor from the beans at all. The pastries were ok. We will not be back for the coffee. This was comparable to starbucks and I would rather go to starbucks (and I don't like starbucks). Parking was difficult. Ambiance is great as it is in Four Seasons.

It's a good café with a great view. I think the price is justified for the scenery, though it's…read moredefinitely more expensive than Starbucks. I do have a nut allergy, and sometimes the staff doesn't write the milk choice on the cup, which makes me a bit uneasy. That said, I'll be more verbal about it next time to make sure it's clear. One thing I didn't love was that the ice was stored in what looked like a typical camping cooler. I'm a little skeptical about how well those get cleaned, although it's possible their ice machine was just down that day. Overall, the view is amazing, the coffee is fine, and the food is quite pricey. There are a few menu items I'd splurge on, but with an ABC Store close by offering very similar options, I'd probably be selective about what I order.

This was our second time here. I believe after covid it changed. The food is brought to table, and…read morethe malasadas were my favorite part. The best on island, better than Leonard's in my opinion. The dough was so soft and bread was sweet, no toughness at all. The food was good, my daughter had waffles, a drink, malasada and fruit that came with her meal. She was so happy and so was I. The characters are great with interaction. I noticed them interacting with everyone, not just the standard hi and bye but went above and beyond to make experiences at each table. They made us feel special. There was live music, she also interacted with the crowd and her singing just elevated the entire experience. This place is not only for food, but to experience the Disney magic and I definitely felt that here. A must if you're staying at Aulani.

This has been our 4th visit to Makahiki as we usually do dinner reservations at least once during…read moreour Aulani stay. Service is always top notch and we always leave with lots of leftovers. I never have done the character breakfast so this review is purely for their dinner experience. I kinda wish though that they change up the menu more as I recall the menu not changing much each time we visit. The dinner menu is a set 3 course meal where you have to pick an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. The kids have a set 3 course meal to choose from as well. This time I ordered their ahi tuna special, which so happened to be the special over 2 years ago lol! I chose their corn chowder as my appetizer and honestly after the cheesy bread rolls and soup, I was pretty stuffed by the time my entree came. It was still a lot of food, and I only took like 3 bites before o threw in the towel. As for the dessert, I chose the dulce de leche cheesecake, which deviates from the usual Mickey brownie with ice cream that I ordered. I still prefer the brownie now that I've tried both. Ambiance is nice and I actually prefer the outdoor seating because I find the architecture and landscape of the resort so beautiful. Overall a solid Disney dining experience, with large portions all around. Definitely worth trying at least once especially if you're staying at the resort!

I could honestly eat it on everything! The lilikoi buttered biscuits are delicious, beautifully toasted, and buttery. My only wish is that I could get a massive extra side of that lilikoi butter to absolutely lather all over them because the flavor is addictive! Fun fact: The waitress told me on my last visit that the owners actually live on the Big Island and they have a location in Keaau too! Love that they're spreading the aloha. Massive portions, amazing flavors, and awesome service!

I…read morewent with a smoothie and one of the bagel sandwiches but I subbed their bagel for a locally made spinach wrap. They also have fresh juices and acai bowls. Not cheap, but good and healthy . The wrap with cream cheese, bacon and fresh veggies was perfect and light. The smoothie with fresh coconut cream walls was perfect after a run on the beach. Overall, you're paying vacation prices, but the food choices are healthy for a lighter lunch or breakfast. Parking is limited to a small lot with many popular shops/businesses.

I only come here for the coconut sorbet bowl. It's truly one of a kind on island. Ultra-creamy and…read morerefreshing. The toppings are simple, but it works because it lets the sorbet shine. The granola is also pretty good. There is a faint fridge smell while I'm eating, but I try to overlook it because the sorbet itself is worth it. Their açaí bowl is solid too. That said, the menu is definitely overpriced, and both taste and service can be a hit or miss depending on the day. One more note: I tried the matcha with coconut milk, and it was a total miss. No matcha flavor at all and just not good.

Like anything on a Disney property, it is definitely a little pricey, but you are paying for the convenience. A major pro-tip for families: the kids' meals are incredibly filling and come at a great price point. If you want a quick, quality bite without a full sit-down commitment, this is a perfect spot.
