***4.5 STARS*** The…read moreother month I was invited to a so-called "retirement" party that ended up being a celebration of a blessed marriage with family and friends. This is a dear former colleague of mine where I saved the date. When I formally received the invitation I saw the venue and asked myself "Where is that?" Oahu Veterans Center (OVC) is a conveniently located venue in the Salt Lake area which has 2 large halls to host gatherings. They are adjacent to ample parking where it was super crowded that day but the grounds were marked to facilitate overflow of cars for those who arrived later. It was my first time here at OVC where I found the venue spacious, clean and the grounds well kept. I initially went to the wrong party as I didn't know there are several halls here. While standing in line I realized it was for a high school graduation party which clearly wasn't the event I was invited to. I made my way to the other hall where I saw a large banner with my friend's name. There's a kitchen that's adjoining to the hall. Food that evening was catered by Guieb Cafe. Our meal was buffet style where the kitchen sure came in handy with food being replenished periodically throughout the event. It was warm outside that day but the venue has decent air conditioning where we sat down in comfort throughout the event during dinner, slide show and hula performances. Overall, a great first time at OVC where I'd be game for a return visit. This is definitely a venue I'd consider if I wanted to host an event.

This one is located in the salt lake area and the name is Oahu Veterans Center the other off sand island is the Disabled Veterans Center. We were surprised when we got there it has a park and large parking area. The hall is air conditioned and the hall was clean with large restrooms located outside of the hall. They brought in their own food and pupu and they had shave ice, pop corn, cotton candy, pork hash and full bar! Restroom was clean and handicap accessible.

It's sad to see a bunch of 1-star reviews from anonymous profiles based off of 1 terrible party experience, so I feel compelled to share my positive experience. We celebrated my goddaughter's 1st birthday this past weekend, and this venue pulled out all the stops for her celebration. The venue owners did all the decorations and did a spectacular job! As soon as I walked into the venue, I was transported to Hello Kitty land (which was the theme for her party lol) They set up all the tables and chairs with linens that matched the party theme colors. And the dessert table set-up was all taken care of, all we (my best friend, her family and the rest of us party decorating committee) had to do was set up the centerpieces and party favors. It definitely took a lot of stress off of us and we were able to relax before the party started. The venue itself is very well maintained and aesthetically appealing with clean & well-stocked restrooms. Parking is a little tight but I believe overflow parking was available near the plaza with Nanding's bakery. They even had parking attendants working that night and ample signage that lead guests where to park. I was told that they offered à la carte services, such as the Photo Booth, so this business is a real one-stop shop. Overall we had an amazing time and the night went by so fast but so smoothly. The best part was we didn't have to stay behind to clean up, the staff at Kabayan took care of all of that!

No issue with parking, plenty of spots. The views are amazing during sunset. We come for the Sunday Brunch Buffet but my office recently had our Christmas party here and the staff did a fabulous job, everything was awesome. I also here the Mongolian BBQ on Thursday night is pretty good, have not tried it yet but will. Recommend make a reservation for the Brunch Buffet (10-1pm) to ensure that you have a table when you arrive. They have lots of options but don't pass on the prime rib and crab legs, both delicious. They also have eggs to order and will make any omelette you can think of. Lots of desert options as well. The service is excellent, all the servers are helpful and attentive. You can tell they work hard and are focused on customer service, please tip them well. Great place, superb service and really good experience and we will certainly be back for the Sunday Brunch Buffet.

Great place for a party…read more This is a spacious and beautiful location on the AF side of the base. The facility has a full fridge and working deep sink. There are a couple or outlets if you want to bring a radio or rice cooker ;) And you can't have rice without having some kind of meat. There's two stationary grills on property. The trash is taken out by management when you turn the keys back in and pick up your deposit. I believe the deposit is $250. There are bathrooms in the back. No porta potties thank God. No real flying creatures to stanch your food and plenty of fresh air. You will get the occasional roar of a plane engine since the runway is close by and sometimes you see a naval ship just off the coast heading out or doing maneuvers. Overall five stars. The scenery is beautiful and he can't beat the price. M

Foster Point Peninsula on Hickam AFB is the absolute worst place for a picnic lunch! Please don't…read morego there. It is so ugly! It is surrounded on three sides by pristine azure waters... YUCK! You can see the skyline of Honolulu and the silhouette of Diamond Head... so horrific! Nearby sail boats gently rock to small waves on the aforementioned pristine azure waters... you do not want to see this! There is no comfortable place to sit and eat. There are only maybe a dozen clean tables from which to choose: some in the shade, some in the sun, and some are under a pavilion to use in the unlikely event it rains during your picnic... Don't take the chance! Today during lunch (well, for the first few minutes) I had to share the peninsula with one other picnicker. Sure he was like 40 yards away, but you shouldn't have to put up with this! And the wind! Today it was so blustery that it threatened to blow my napkin off the table... not once, but TWICE! Oh and it is so noisy... did I mention the sail boats and the waves? Well, they're not silent, ya know! They make this monotonous "lap-lap-lap" sound that might drive you crazy! And you'd be dining only a couple miles from the airport. So as you watch the lumbering jets lift off gracefully into the sky, you can actually hear them. .. It's horrendous! It so far out of the way! It takes minutes and minutes (maybe as many as five) to drive out there from the base proper.... Don't waste your valuable time! So in short, take my advice: Do not put up with ugliness, then uncomfortable conditions, the noisiness, and the long long ride out to Foster Point Peninsula for a picnic lunch! It's just not worth it. But if you do, you'll likely see me there enjoying my picnic lunch; and if you do, feel free to wave. But try to keep your 40 yards separation! ;-)
