    Checked out this restaurant, Mahi'ai Table, over in Foodland Farms at Ka Makana. Everything we tried was delicious!

    Got here on a Sunday afternoon and the place was packed! Didn't make a reservation beforehand, but luckily they were able to accommodate a party of 3 with little to no wait time. Booth seating available along with 4-top tables throughout the establishment that can be combined for bigger parties. Our server was very kind, and cordial. We opted for the lechon style brussels and spicy garlic noodles (this was a snack before our dinner at another establishment). The brussels were an interesting flavor. I would've liked more flavor coming through the overall seasoning of this dish. I was expecting salty, sweet and vinegary, but it missed the mark for me. As for the spicy garlic noodles, this was flavorful, and very rich/buttery. My friend and I split the egg, while the third person in our party opted against it because she didn't care for runny eggs. Perhaps it's a good thing the third person didn't partake in the egg, because as my friend and I were driving to our next destination, we had to make a pit stop to use the restroom, as it seems that something didn't quite sit well with either of our tummies. The 3rd person who didn't eat the egg was completely fine, so not sure if it was the egg or the richness of the dishes. Overall, I would eat here again, though I would try something else on the menu.

    Live music, great company, good service, and delicious food! Definitely a win! This place is definitely our go to and my hubby's fav place. So convenient we can have a lovely dinner and go grocery shopping after.

    Steamed Shrimp & Pork Wonton and Ali'i Mushroom Pizza
    Lyndsey U.

    Got there in time for happy hour, which ended at 6pm. We ordered the mushroom pizza, shrimp and pork dumplings, spicy garlic noodles, and half pound burger. Everything tasted great and the mushroom pizza is a must if you go. Service was good and someone came around to fill water about 3 times. There was also live music on Friday night and I totally did not feel like I was in a grocery store lol

    Ahhh... FINALLY!! I've been wanting to comeback since I've been here back in December with friends for a Christmas get together. Dinner: Our Mahi'ai table consisted of: -Braised short ribs on a bed garlic rice. (For me) -Half pound burger with fries. (For the husband) Dessert: Came for the Kulolo Haupia Sundae, unfortunately it wasn't available. Hopefully next time. I ordered the Kona coffee mud pie with chocolate sauce. $11 Great Choice! It's Chocolate & Kona coffee gelato, chocolate cake, warm chocolate sauce and topped with puffed rice crunch. Perfect for sharing. Everything we ate was delicious & satisfying. If you're in the area, I suggest Mahi'ai Table. Facts: -Support local & to name a few farmers such as Mari's Garden, Ho Farms and MA'O Organic Farms. See the menu for ALL the local businesses you'll be supporting. -Live local entertainment. -Reservations can be made on open table or call the restaurant directly 808-693-7408 **Suggestion for restaurant menu, pictures of each item to see what the items on the menu look like for a non-yelper.

    Scallion bread
    Caroline S.

    We were able to get a seat right away on a Saturday night. The servers were nice and helpful. He made recommendations and answered my questions. Food also came out quickly. My husband and I both ordered rec mended drinks. I had the strawberry lychee lemonade which hit the spot. We shared the scallion bread, their version of a Cobb salad and spicy garlic noodles. It was a great balance and the perfect amount of food for us. We would go again

    Called in for reservations in 15 minutes but they said earliest is 30 minutes. Got there early and the restaurant is empty with only a few tables seated. Been here 3 years ago and they did the same thing. Fully staffed lots of food servers working, I can't understand that. Our server was good and attentive. He gave us recommendations. This time we had the Ali'i Mushroom Pizza which was really good but I couldn't taste the white truffle oil. That makes the pizza pop. Also the Anykind Crunch Salad. We ordered this last visit, but this time the mochi crunch was stale and the portion was alot smaller:( The hand-cut fries was good, it reminded me of a burger place right around the corner. Looks burnt but nice and soft inside, very tasty. Also had a Pineapple/tea drink which was refillable and good, very tasty too. We ended up ordering the Kona Coffee Mud Pie. Looks traditional with a different light cookie crunch base. It was just okay but nice to end with a sweet tooth from the savory salted dishes.

    Located inside of Foodland at Ka Makana Ali'i This restaurant is really delicious - a must try. Often not something you may consider, but they have all of the freshest ingredients, from a top quality grocery store! Great service, Chuck Chuck was amazing. Others stopped by the table as well, to ensure waters were filled and to just show aloha. Check out the delicious photos!

    I had the short rib loco moco buggah was Ono My mom had the hamburger loco moco always get that with over easy eggs service was excellent and it's a nice place to go for lunch, breakfast and dinner, go check it out and you know you got to get the takeout before you go Place is clean ambiance is great if you never go yet you got to go

    Spicy Garlic Noodles

    Great spot to eat in Kapolei. Staff were super accommodating to us and service was quick. Delicious food and good pupus to share with a group. Would definitely come here again!

    Ube Condensed Milk Latte
    Jordan P.

    Mahi'ai Table has quickly become one of our go-to spots in Kapolei. We've been here a couple of times now, and it consistently delivers that fresh, farm-to-table quality that's hard to beat in the area. The atmosphere strikes a great balance--professional enough for a nice sit-down meal, but still feels like a comfortable local gem right inside Foodland Farms. ​On our most recent visit, we started with the Steamed Shrimp & Pork Wontons, which have a great kick from the garlic chili crunch. The Yukari Crusted Ahi Club was another winner, with the shiso adding a nice herbal touch to the fish. We also tried the Spicy Garlic Noodles with Furikake Salmon; the noodles themselves were excellent and packed with flavor, though the salmon was a bit on the dry side this time and could have used a little more seasoning to really pop. ​For drinks, you can't go wrong with the Ube Condensed Milk Latte-- It was delicious, though worth noting that the ube flavor is a bit more subtle and mostly blends into the coffee taste rather than overpowering it. We finished things off with the Kona Coffee Mud Pie, which was the perfect rich ending to the meal. The overall experience keeps us coming back. It's always a solid choice for supporting local.

    Catch of the day Fish Tacos

    Went to Mahiʻai Table for pau hana and had a really nice experience overall. The atmosphere was great, and they had a live singer that night which added a fun, relaxed vibe. We were seated promptly and greeted right away, which always sets the tone. For drinks, I ordered the pickled mango margarita. I'm not sure I'd order that one again--the pickled mango (which I believe may be from Jade's) gets very hard once it's in an ice-cold drink and doesn't quite taste the same. I also had a mojito, which I loved--the presentation was beautiful and the fresh mint on top really made it. We shared a few appetizers, and the poke was the standout. It was light, fresh, and really well done. I'd never had poke prepared with diced tomatoes and onions the way they did it, but it worked beautifully. You could tell the quality was there, and I'd absolutely order it again. Overall, it's a great place to go with friends or family, and I'm excited to come back for dinner.

    Short rib loco moco $23
    Amy Y.

    Discovered this spot on yelp. Similar to Et Al at the Kahala Foodland. Mahiai Table is located inside Foodland at Kapolei. I made a reservation just in case it gets busy. We came during brunch hours, not too busy. My friend and I shared two dishes (sweet and savory): - Strawberry Guava Mochi Pancake - Pretty big ones stacked with 3. The pancakes were topped with strawberry, whipped cream, and some guava cookie crumbs. It came out fresh. Soo good. - Short rib loco moco $23 -the meat was sooo tender and flavorful. Really good. It was a nice place to enjoy a brunch date.

The vibes are good with live music but the music is LOUD so be prepared you have to talk pretty loud to hear the people at your table. The gluten free menu is available but it is limited. The server was fantastic about answering questions and honestly she was the best part of the meal. I ordered the edamame and shrimp fried rice my mom ordered the Caesar salad. The portions are LARGE plenty for 3-4 people to split let alone two. Caesar salad was standard and good from what my mom told me. Edamame- I probably would not order this again. It was fine, but I didn't love the seasoning blend on it personally there are other things I would be interested in trying. Shrimp fried rice- I was really excited to try this and I was really hoping that it would be excellent and it was OK. The shrimp was cooked well and the fried rice just felt like it needed some more butter and it was lacking some of the things that make fried rice, fried rice like a fried egg so overall not my favorite dish. The gluten-free menu was pretty limited on options for me to try so I would probably go to somewhere else to try and get fried rice in the future.

Called the number on the door several times and nothing, every call went to voicemail once again. Then we find out owner is talking to the optometrist across the karaoke.

I call again after they hang up to hopefully get a booking and calls went to voicemail again. At this point we just left. What kind of communication is this? You put contact information on your website, instagram, and your door and you nitpick which caller you're gonna answer? Communication in this business needs to improve drastically. This was a terrible experience.

This establishment is fairly large and have a regular seating tables area and a bar area. The bar area was pretty popping with people watching the on-going football game. (they do have tvs all over the bar so you should be able to watch in most seats. ​ It is fairly cold in here, like I was kind of freezing and had to grab a jacket from the car. Our server was super friendly and we got our orders in: We ordered: * Brick Oven "Super" Pizza: 7/10. We ordered this without black olives because I do not like black olives. This was okay. There were many toppings but since there were so many, there were much less of each topping (which meant that you'd really only get a tiny sprinkle of like beef for example). I felt like the pizza was just mediocre. The crust was unique, a twisted shape but it just made the crust more dense and not as enjoyable to eat for me as I liked a fluffier doughy crust. I also felt that there weren't enough cheese for the amount of toppings on this pizza. * Pepperoni, Sausage, and Jalapenos Pizza: 7.2/10. My friend ordered this so I didn't really eat as much of it. It was ok, same complaints regarding the crust. I think due to it having less toppings the cheese ratio was much better this time around. * Buffalo (Hot) Wings: 9/10, my friend said the main star of the show would be the wings and he was not lying! These wings were large and meaty compared to the tiny wings you'd often get at bars and most establishments. They were fried to perfection and tossed in the chosen sauce. The buffalo was perfect and I enjoyed it with ranch. * Lemon Pepper: 8.2/10, same positives, I just don't care for the lemon pepper flavor. * Garlic Parm: 9.2/10: same positives, I love the garlicky flavor of this wing along with the cheesiness from the parm. * Chicken Alfredo Pasta: 4/10. We do NOT recommend this. The chicken quality was terrible, it was like stringy. We think it is the premade chicken meant to be shredded for pizzas recooked into the pasta. The alfredo sauce was also not very good, just tasted poorly made and overly peppered. Honestly I would totally come back for the wings and only the wings. Recommend this spot to grab some wings and watch a game with some friends!

The girl looked all confused, moved more slow than my toddler (sorry, but NO sense of urgency whatever). We'll after 10 mins of waiting we realized that it was because the guy who I guess was checking people in was in the bathroom. but geez, she couldnt helped him out. We asked if there was outside seating as the inside was already crowded and he checked and there was a table ready for us. Our waitress came gave us menus, didnt ask for our drink order than left. She came back maybe about 5-8 mins later to take our order, not before we requested if we could get water. Fastforward, like i stated at the beginning it was crowded on the inside when we walked in, well we get our food and mid way thru realize that our drinks were never filled, no one came out to ck on us or the other tables at that matter. We ordered extra carrots and celery that never came out, at that point I was like forget it. We needed boxes and refill of water since NONE came throughout our whole dinner. I decided to go get the boxes and request water, tell me why when I walked inside, the only table that was occupied was the party that was there in the corner. The rest of the place was empty and tell me why ALL the workers were literally just standing near the bar/kitchen. they see me walking in, no one seems to think "oh we havent checked on them" they waited till I approached them and asked for a box and water. Up until me going inside I gave them grace because like I mentioned I knew they were busy. But once I walked in and seen every single staff just standing there, I was disappointed. The food was good, but lets just say, the customer service was not it. Glad I got my fixed, as I havent eaten at Brick Oven in years, it will probably years before I come back....

Located in O'Toole's Pub on Nu'uanu in downtown/Chinatown, there are tons of great options for dinner before the show, and places to drink afterwards. I must admit, since moving here I've experienced quite a few comedy shows, namely improv, and I wasn't impressed. Everything about Jose Dynamite was on the other side of the coin. My date Kristine C. and I both enjoyed laughing together! The strength of this show is the varied "& Friends" that change from week to week. As I've only been once, I only got to experience one group. I know I'll be going back to see more! I liked the different skill levels and backgrounds of the performers; they all had something to say and different ways of expressing their comedic views on the world. I loved the differences between the locals and transplants; they all see Hawai'i in such a funny way. I like how Jose himself gives different aspiring comedians a forum to practice with a live audience. The length of the show was also perfect; well worth the money, but not too long that we were ready to go before it ended. The host kept it flowing between comedians too, with his own brand of jokes. Jose Dynamite was hilarious. He had an air of professionalism and was naturally funny. I liked how he tried to learn the audience's names and where people were coming from. He, and the other comedians, were very approachable and friendly after the show. They were all clearly having a fun time. The room itself was very nice, located at the back of O'Toole's pub. They have bar service as the comedy show progresses, or you can bring your own drinks over from the bar. Unlike the main bar area, this room is non-smoking, so no need to worry about that if you aren't a fan. The air conditioning was comfortable. Restrooms are right outside the entrance door. It's an intimate setting, everyone gets up close with the comedians, which makes personal interaction part of the fun. Even watching the rest of the audience was entertaining: the quiet nervous people, the happy people, and the inevitable heckler. Take advantage of the Yelp deal if you're thinking of coming with a larger group. Also, use the free dessert coupon at Restaurant Epic up the street after the show. Street parking is free after 6:30pm, but it's a better and safer bet to use one of the public Chinatown garages that cost $3 flat for the evening. For tourists, it's also easy to get here by bus or cab. If you're a fan of the Irish pubs in town, use the free Shamrock shuttle from two locations in Waikiki to get here safely while you drink. This was a great date night, we can't wait to go back!
