    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.

    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)

    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)

    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!

    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

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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…

We started with a shrimp elote special and the chicken liver mousse. The shrimp elote was unique and flavorful. The mousse was my favorite thing of the night. So rich and creamy and the cherry marmalade paired so well with it. Love that they provided ample bread to go with it. I had to try the la chancla cocktail - the mayo washed mezcal caught my eye. It sounds a little strange but it was very good and was quite strong. For entrees we got the carbonara and zucchini lemon risotto. The carbonara was really rich and the Portuguese sausage added a nice touch. Looking at pictures of it beforehand I was worried the portion size would be small but it's served on a large bowl making the portion look smaller than it is. The risotto had a refreshing tangy sweetness from the lemon. Both have the option of adding on crispy prosciutto for $4. We didn't but saw some that other people ordered and it looked amazing - next time! One of the servers there provided a great recommendation with a wine pairing for the carbonara and let me try a rose before committing. It wasn't something I would normally have chosen but it worked well and I'm grateful for his helpfulness.

We also ordered some appetizers and food, the fried mozzarella was very good, along with the wings. The wings were cooked well and were crispy.

It's the table and space is very spacious that you don't have be afraid of been squished with other people. Besides that, they have a pretty good selection too! Price is reasonable with the portion of the food is serve. Miso Butter Fish 5/5: I will never be tried of eating & ordering the miso butter fish. It's definitely one of the best butter fish in a non-Japanese restaurant. It's buttery, with the perfect level of the miso flavor that's not salty or blend/no miso flavor. The fish it's cooked into perfection that's not overcooked. Although it's pricery compare to other dishes, but it's worth it; especially the butter fish is a pretty big size that comes w/ salad and rice. Grilled Garlic Chicken 4.5/5: The garlic chicken is not the same as a regular garlic chicken that you get from a barbecue restaurant; it doesn't have that barbecue sauce flavor. However, it's still taste pretty good. The garlic flavor is there, but not so strong that over power the taste of the chicken. More importantly, chicken is not overcooked as some restaurants can overcook the chicken. However, it comes w/ gravy on top of the chicken. If you eat it w/ the gravy, you probably will it be able to taste the garlic. Mac Nut Waffard 4.5/5 This is not the regular waffles. This "waffard" it's the Mac nut waffle that comes with their iconic custard, fruits and whipped cream. The waffle is super soft & fluffy with a crispy outside edges. Also, the waffle is not mushy, rather, it has a slightly mochi/chewy texture. The waffle is also not over sweet that actually can be pair with their famous custard fillings. Pancakes 5/5 I normally not a pancake person because I am afraid that it can be over sweet or very bland that has no taste but a flour flavor. But I fall in love with the pancake at first try because it's soooo fluffy and soft! More importantly, it's not sweet that actually can be paired with syrup and butter. However, it's also not bland that can be just eaten by itself without syrup or butter. Hands down on it! Plus, the size of the pancake is actually pretty big.

    So so good, Hawaiian classic. It was our first spot as soon as we landed and so glad it was the…read more1st!

    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.
