    Worst place we ate at Hawaii. Breakfast quality felt like any other free breakfast at any hotel. Only they charge $50.00 per person. That's more than all you can eat sushi or all you can eat Korean bbq. For the high price, it was NOT worth $150.00 for 3 people. Selection choice was very limited. No sea food selection either.

    I came for breakfast because the restaurant was in my hotel. The location is great right by the beach and they seated me next to the beach view. The hostess was warm and welcoming and seated me right a way. They had a very impressive buffet complete with chef making omelets. The buffet had three different bars one with fruit, entrees and beverages. I ordered from the menu, pancakes, ham, fresh fruit, and a mimosa. Breakfast was fresh, and great tasting. Service was excellent my server checked in and refreshed my coffee without having to be asked. Great way to start my day.

    It was okay! Nothing terrible but nothing outlandishly great. Good service, though. We had a $150 hotel credit to use, which you could only redeem at the Kuhio Grill or Queensbreak (as far as dining). They did offer a breakfast buffet, however we opted to order breakfast alacarte I ordered the Mochi Waffle & my fiance ordered the steak and eggs, side of bacon, POG juice and coffee. Mochi waffle was good. It was soft and chewy as it should be. The berry compote was alright, maybe just not my cup of tea. But it was a big portion and it filled me up! I also had a POG juice as a beverage. My fiancé's steak and eggs were decent as well. Cooked medium, as requested, with over medium eggs. Bowl of fruit was ok, the one slice of pineapple was my favorite- juice and sweet! Wish it was just a bowl of the pineapple lol Honestly, there was nothing to complain about. The service was good! The server kept coming to check on us and always refilled my fiancé's coffee. Everything was good, just nothing to really rave about! Overall, it was a nice breakfast and you have a view of Waikiki Beach! Glad we had a resort credit, as I don't think I'd go out of my way to pay to eat here. (Our bill total was $101 and some change)

    I went here twice for breakfast and chose the buffet option. It is on the more expensive side, but the food is good, and if you're already staying at Waikiki Marriott, then it is extremely convenient. For the buffet, they had certain items on rotation. For example, one day there were sausage links, while a different day they had Portuguese sausage in slices. There was consistently: rice, scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, omelette station, baked/pastry section, fruit bar, and cereal bar. Service was attentive and ambiance was casual. Buffett Prices: $48/adult $20/child 6-yr and up FREE for 5 and below (with paying adult)

    Decided to try out this place located inside a Marriott hotel. Not too crowded and the view looking outside was beautiful as you can dine and watch sunset by the beach at the same time. A bit on the pricey side but understandably due to the location. The menu was limited but looked appealing. Ordered the Wagyu smash burger- with applewood smoked bacon, Maui onion jam,cheese, lettuce, tomato on toasted brioche accompanied by French fries and pickled veggies. as recommended by my very kind server. Definitely not disappointed. It was delicious and flavorful. The Maui onion jam took that burger to a whole new level! Wow! Look forward to coming here again. Remember when dining here, you need to show your vaccination card and ID.

    Omelette station, bacon and jasmine fried rice

    Treat yourself to a breakfast buffet at the Kuhio Beach Grill located in the Marriott Hotel/Waikiki. There is a 20% kamaina discount. If you are an early riser, get there around 7-7:30 am when it's not crowded and you can choose where to sit. Very spacious area and seating arrangements are positioned for covid guidelines. There are the standard breakfast delights: bacon, sausages, scrambled eggs, omelette station, pancakes/waffles (maple/coconut syrup, whip cream and chopped pineapple/strawberries) to top your waffles/pancakes,) dry cereals, oatmeal and their jasmine fried rice is onilicious. There are a variety of breads and pastries to choose from: white/brown bread, bagels and English muffins. Muffins/danish pastries and bread pudding. For beverages: coffee, apple, cranberry, orange and pog juices. AND. hot chocolate with whip cream. What a fantastic selection of beverages to choose from! The waiters/waitresses are very friendly and helpful with the aloha spirit! Don't miss out on this treat yourself!

    Banana bread, sticky bun with nuts, bread pudding, and creme brulee.

    During the December holiday time is when I went, and there seemed to be a line around 7:30am. If you're a party of 2, the wait isn't as long {or at least that was my experience the various times I went}. I got the Continental breakfast, which includes the omelette bar. The POG juice is delicious, and you can even get a cup to go! Of the fruits offered, the pineapple was the most flavorful. The sticky bun with nuts, bread pudding, and omelettes are must gets.

    Best seat in the house.

    The staff is great. And attentive. They have a few tables up against the window. They put us there, and we loved the views. The food was great. Freshest passion fruits you can find. They have an egg station. The crème brûlée (to me it tasted like Filipino flan) and the papaya dressing are the must tries!

    Over priced shitty food. Sorry for my language, for the prize. Never again. I askers for a drink that took 30 minutes

    Kuhio Beach Grill offered a lovely Christmas Eve spread. All the typical offerings that you would expect: prime rib, snow crab legs, chilled seafood, etc. Grilled scallops were a highlight for me. Service was great and attentive. Located at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. I would happily visit again during my next stay!

    The fabulous options at the Buffet, also a custom omelet choice.

    The food was amazing. The buffet had so many options. Our server was constantly checking on us in a great way.

    Havin a great time.

    This review was long procrastinated, our visit here was before the covid-19 constraints. But, this place was a blast! Food was sooo fresh reminded me of the very missed Willows buffet but with a much more gorgeous atmosphere and view. Service was incredible, awesome variety of food and just can't say enough on how ono it was! So if you're looking for a good , fresh buffet style dinner with an epic setting try this place out!

    We took our girlfriend here for a belated birthday dinner. All of us were tired from traveling all day and decided on eating somewhere decent closest to our hotel. We found this spot via Yelp and decided to give it a go. This restaurant is located in the Waikiki Marriott and pretty easy to find if you follow all the signs. I try not to give one or two stars if I could avoid it but this joint was really not that great. The food was tasteless, price for each person was way too high for what the buffet offers, and the service was mediocre. For a party of 5, we paid over $300 (including gratuity) for food that had barely any flavor. Overpriced and poor quality buffet options. Y'all could definitely find a different spot to drop $300+ for a party of 5. Adding an extra star because the slice of cake for the birthday girl was beautifully presented.

    Is the buffet up and running again?

    No. It's sit down / menu style for now.

    Do they have raw oysters and deep fried shrimp on the weekends?

    Not that I saw the three times I have been on the weekends. The had oyster linguini once.

    When can you use the check in offer "50% off prime rib buffet" and does that include the seafood?

    They'll honor it Monday thru Thursday..prime rib is offered everyday as part of their nightly buffet, however on Friday Saturday and Sunday, the buffet is a Prime Rib and seafood buffet so they don't honor the check in offer on those days.

    Is this a Buffet? And how much is it per person please?

    I know their dinners are all prime rib buffets. Weeknights (Mon-Thurs) were running $42 & Friday/Sat/Sun includes snow crab so it's more expensive, around $48. You should call to confirm pricing because holiday dinners are more expensive & do not… Read more

Had a glass of wine and baby had watered down lemonade. Her drinks were put in plastic cups with covers and those horrible paper straws. Eyes always bigger than my stomach, we ordered: - Cornbread - when i grabbed it I thought would be super dense but really wasn't. I thought it was very corny and tasty. Lightly toasted. Honey drizzle which wasn't too sweet...or maybe I just ate the parts that didn't have. Baby ate almost 1.5 pieces and even liked the Jalapeno Butter that I just dabbed on her bread. She said wasn't spicy but think she just didn't have enough. - Bone Marrow - lit it on fire to burn off the alcohol. Pretty sure it ddin't get it all so I cut baby off once I realized it. Other than needing some salt, really good. Choke mushrooms on top. One half was scrawny, but hubs had the other half for leftovers and choke marrow. YUM. - Sunchoke and Brussels - YUM. Baby ate some but was not really thrilled about it. I loved it. - Scallop and Mushroom Risotto - YUM. Delish. Baby liked it too. So much leftovers of everything. Realized when we ate it for leftovers it was all pretty oily and needed a pinch of salt. But otherwise great. Staff really nice and helpful. Love that the place is spread out and open.

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol.

I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle.

Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    We have been coming here for years; food is always good, not great…read more We came on a Thursday morning around 9:30 am; and figured we wouldn't have to wait, oh, were we wrong, there were 10 people in front of us. The wait actually wasn't that bad, maybe 15 minutes. It is a typically diner, counter seatings only. The service wasn't great, but not rude; they take your order and they bring you the food; no pleasantries or small talks, I guess they need to turn the tables (counter seats) quickly. We had the loco moco with fried rice and hamburger steak with multi-grain rice and toss salad; they didn't offer a choice of dressing, but the default asian dressing was delicious. The food was good with very big portions; I had a hard time finishing my loco moco. They served it with lots of yummy brown gravy, the way it should be. My wife enjoyed her hamburger steak as well. Oh, don't forget to visit the bakery side after eating; they have many super yummy baked goodies!

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

    Husband and I tried Nami Kaze in our recent trip to Hawaii. This place is huge! I was so glad to be…read moreseated in the side room because I found it to be a lot calmer, less people and no TV. The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
