It's been six years, so I'm updating my review. They have different eateries now and it's a good…read moremix. You can pretty much find whatever food you want here. The only thing missing I would say is a pasta eatery. Here's the list: -Champion's Steak & Seafood -Kokoro Cafe -Kulu Kulu -L&L Hawaiian Barbecue -Mahaloha Burger -Panda Express -Penny's Waikiki Malasadas -Pho Factory -Poke Waikiki -Raising Cane's -Subway -Wicked Maine Lobster I've tried most of these places. My faves are Kulu Kulu, L&L and Raising Cane's. This place is packed at night. It's less busy during the day.

Whether you're a tourist, or a Kama'aina, it's nice to see a beautiful covered open-air food court…read morein the heart of Waikiki! What food court am I talkin' about? The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court located at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center of course! Sometimes when one is on a budget, or if you really don't feel like dining at a regular restaurant, going to a food court is another great option that one can choose to get their grindages on. The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court located at building "B", on the 2nd floor. The food court is open-aired and covered (so that it'll protect you from weather & sun), and it has a lot of clean well kept seating. There are restrooms near by, and I could see that the cleaning staff was very active in cleaning up the tables/chairs at the food court. The Pa'ina Lanai Food Court have the following food eateries - 1. Penny's Malasadas 2. Panda Express 3. Champion's Steak & Seafood 4. Kokoro Cafe 5. Kulu Kulu 6. Mahaloha Burger 7. Pho Factory 8. Poke Waikiki 9. Raising Cane's 10. Wicked Main Lobster A pretty decent selection of food businesses, so hopefully there is something that appeals to everyone. Parking here is pretty easy, as there is a parking structure within the shopping center. If you spend a minimum of $10 bucks, you can get a parking validation for 3 hours. Looking for casual dining? Go check out da Pa'ina Lanai Food Court at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.

STIX ASIA IS A GEM IN WAIKIKI. Asian food hall galore with so many choices. It's worth coming to if…read moreyou want a guaranteed good meal for you buck. It's not the commercialized restaurants ( sorry Waikiki) that you expect on the strip but it is down home good cooking with some specialties ranging from Japanese l, Korean, Chinese and more flavors. It's a perfect place to go to while you're staying on the strip and you don't want to wait in 2 hour long waits for mediocre food. Take a walk downstairs and enter into an elevated food stall experience. I'm not saying it's fancy, but I am saying it's worth a date night or fun night out with friends and family. Fair warning it has this interesting set up tho that makes it feel like its outside but it's technically at the basement of a mall plaza. So weird because the air conditioning is hit or miss but it's nice because the individual places have their own AC. I expected it to be cooler inside and it wasn't blazing hot but it was humid .... But then again you're in Hawaii lol so expect a little humidity depending on what month you come in. Parking; paid and look for a lot ... I'm not entirely sure but it's walking distance from the strip. Pro tip: it's conveniently located by the Ross. Faves: Hojocha latte and Matcha Lattes found here! Even soft serve! Organic Rice Balls ( onigiri) to go. The closest thing I've found to Motomura Gyakatsu ( with unlimited salad!l and the bear dang tempura tendon I've had aside from Japan. Baby friendly : Yes, absolutely yes. Now they have small tables and areas in some spaces but they make it work with what you have if there's space. I took my 6 month old with a doona stroller here and it fit fine. There were elevators conveniently in located in the space. Restrooms: you need a code from one of the food places and it will be on your receipt. They're pretty clean! Enjoy! Try everything. And it's a really good meeting place for families to try different cuisines.

The stars are for the matcha place, which is excellent. However everything else was a miss…read more I would NOT recommend the ramen place here, no flavor in the broth, it feels like you're just eating spicy thick noodles. If you're craving Udon, I would recommend Marugame over the udon joint here. The sushi place is okay. Katsu place was good!

We stumbled across this place as we were looking for a place to get a quick bite. It looked rather…read moreempty, but it was still pretty early. It looked like no one was manning the stations, but there were 2 ladies in the center one which I learned took care of most of the orders for the entire place. As I was looking around at what each restaurant offered, I was greeted by Christine, who by the way was very friendly and welcoming. She gave us a rundown of what each station offered. I was looking at the shrimp plate so she recommended to get a plate from five star shrimp which included marinated steak which is local beef grown here, spicy shrimp, rice and small side salad. It was amazing so you definitely need to stop by here.

It looked very lovely and welcoming though. We tried 6 different onigiris: spam and egg with sushi rice and seaweed wrapper. The four different flavors had some slight taste variations but overall it was spam, eggs, and rice. A good pre dinner snack. We also order a loco moco plate from a different stall

Garlic shrimp - no need to drive to the North shore when you can just go to the market eatery located on the 2 nd floor of h- mart. Great garlic shrimp without the travel time! Korean style fried chicken wings - a bit sweet for me but well fried and stayed crispy! Korean spicy pork - no picture but great setup of hot pot rice served w/ hot tea to get every bit of rice - 3 kinds of bachan so good and impressive Beef sukiyaki bowl - just ok serving size a bit small flavor ok Pot stickers aka gyoza- kiddo loved it The only thing we didn't try was the mochi donut - we'll save it for next time ! If you're here for the 1st time - from the parking lot enter H Mart walk towards the back you will find an elevator and stairs that will take you to the 2 nd floor. Once there check out all the eateries before making your selection - there is also a beer garden along with mochi donuts- fried chicken - garlic shrimp - both Japanese and Korean eateries!

This had so much flavor, too! It came out piping hot, so you know it was made fresh. The kimchi salad was good, too. We went around 6pm and it wasn't busy, but since everything is made to order, it took a few extra minutes -- not a big deal. You shouldn't have a hard time finding a seat, there's tons of tables. It's very clean and the vibe is chill. 5/5 recommend going to the second floor food court above HMart. There's plenty to choose from and there's even a bar where you can pour your own beer. Sounds like a good time, we'll check that out next time.

We parked in this structure since we needed to go to one shop and then have lunch in Waikiki. Several levels of parking you can pay at the kiosk next to the elevators. Also restrooms on the first floor on the left as you exit the elevators. If you make a $25 purchase you can get a reduced rate to park by scanning your receipt ie $20 parking ticket becomes $6 for 3 hours.

The original IMP consisted of thatched-roof huts offering souvenirs, local crafts, and food. A major renovation in 2016 transformed the IMP into a contemporary shopping and dining destination while still respecitng its Hawaiian heritage. The banyan tree in the shopping center is really impressive. A banyan can reach a height up to 100 feet and spreads laterally indefinitely. Aerial roots that develop from its branches descend and take root in the soil to become new trunks. It's really a highlight of this mall to walk around this enormous tree. There are a huge number of well known stores here with something for everyone. We enjoyed the shopping but did not stay to eat here although there are a lot of options.

So much has changed since then but it makes sense, with the expansion of the mall, to have more food courts available.
