    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.

    Mochi waffle and POG juice in the back

    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.

    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

As you can see from all the pictures everything was high quality and had all kinds of Assortment. FOOD: High Quality Ingredients, from cold, hot, desserts, sides, and even toppings! My favorites were the oysters, steamed and hot crab legs, Marinated Kalbi, and Tobikko Temaki (Hand-roll) I went around 3 times grabbing all the good stuff!! even my wife that doesn't eat much kept up with me! Props to the chefs and the establishment for having a good variety and upkeeping the quality. SERVICE: It was on a slower night so had many open tables. Came in at 5:30 with a reservation and got sat right away. Hostesses were very friendly and informative about the restaurant. If I had any questions, they would answer confidently. Our server was also amazing, came with waters, took our drink order, cleaned our tables many times (sorry, we're messy eaters). renewed utensils as needed, water glass was always full, and had small talk with us as well too. He also timed our dinner perfectly to bring out an anniversary cake for us when we started on desserts. 5/5 for service it was our first time here and i'm already trying to find another occasion so I can come back here!

Some of the standouts for me were the made to order hand rolls, seafood Alfredo, salt and pepper shrimp, chicken kalbi, and the kiawe smoked prime rib. I also appreciated the nice assortment of desserts to finish off the experience, and our waiter John gave us a free dessert for my parents 33rd wedding anniversary (which happened to be that day also). The brisket also had good flavor but was a touch overcooked compared to what I was hoping for. It was not bad by any means, just a little more dry than usual. The main reason this is a 4 star review instead of 5 stars was the organization of the buffet lines and overall unorganized stations. During our visit, it was not always clear where the line was supposed to start, (as both ends of the line were easily accessible) what direction people were supposed to go, or whether certain stations had separate lines. At times it felt like everyone was kind of piled around the same areas, which made the experience feel more chaotic than it needed to be, especially for a holiday buffet. That said, the food selection was strong, the setting was nice, and it still felt like a good place to celebrate Father's Day.

I see the new huge poster out front, every time I stop at the bakery next door, the family meal with 6 items sounds great, reasonable. I decided to make it easy for me with few stops to grab this for Super Bowl Sunday. I called that morning to place my order. There are no photos of the family set on Yelp so Your welcome, if you decide to order this set, Please think twice, it sounds like a great deal but not. I/my family was very disappointed. I picked the 6 items, now keep in mind it says "Family Meal Deal" when you get your items, family - ? don't think it will be enough to feed your family depending on how many is in your family. I got the 6 items for $55.95 and paid $8. for Chow fun. The 6 item choice I picked were : fish filet ( got the wrong order) roast duck, string beans, ginger chicken, sweet sour pork, and chicken wings. What a surprise when I opened up the bag to set up for our Super Bowl spread, they were cute little take out containers like the kind you would use for leftovers at the Chinese restaurant. They weren't even filled to the top. It was little like sample dishes. Wow. also the food did not taste fresh, all the food I got tasted like they were reheated, except for the chicken wings. The chow fun was a regular portion but it was on the oily side. I hope Hawaii99 Take Out Express takes down the huge poster in front, its very misleading and false advertisement. I have another review to write regarding my family dinners, this will be continued- will update. I just want to get this out there in case you want to get the family meal deal. Its really a joke! Luckily we had other foods at the Super Bowl gathering and also ordered pizza last minute.

There was happy hour at the bar, so we started there and the bartender was so fun and friendly. The drinks were so yummy too. Ambience was stellar as they sat us outside with a view of sunset. All the dishes were were perfectly done. We had fish, prime rib, chicken, appetizers, all were so good. The $80 prime rib might seem steep but it was the most popular dish at the table. That anniversary meal was perfect. Highly recommend and so worth it. Will be back!

    My family loves this place, has for a LONG time. Came for…read moreFather's Day, we put our name down and they gave an eta of 1hr 45min. Left and came back around 30-40 min later. Checked and they said another 1hr 45min. Then added another 30 min, then another. Total time waited was about 2 hrs 30min. Understandable that it's so busy especially on holidays, but to not have a decently accurate ETA wasn't looking too good. Finally got sat, and the wine cups and silverware were dirty... Food did time some time to come, but again, it's a holiday so to be expected. Server was kind and accommodating, really nice woman. Prime rib was HUGE, but the bone was also a decent chunk of it, not too bad though. New York steak was very dry. Ordered one medium and one half of the steak was medium well-well done, the other side was cooked to med-rare but somehow the whole steak was VERY dry. Would not recommend. The other New York steak was cooked fine. Caesar salad did have some pieces of old/dirty lettuce, but a good size for a big family. The ribs were decent, sweet. Parking is a toss up, gotta get there early or get lucky. Else it's street parking.
