- CCandiVIPDenver / Colorado •31 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoExcellent food, service and great table too. Actually we have never had a bad meal at Hula Grill. The fish and preparation is delicious. Hula Pie is a must. Can be easily shared by 3-4 people.More infoHula Grill - WaikikiPrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.7
- PPennyHawaii •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a wonderful experience dining here this evening. A big mahalo to all the staff for accommodating my extended family of 7, including a toddler. Our server was on-point, great selection of drinks, the view excellent, the ambiance and noise levels just right. Everyone enjoyed their meals, but especially the mini poke tacos, the mahi tacos and the kids pizza was a huge success for a picky eater.More infoMonkeypod Kitchen - WaikikiPrice: Moderate• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Waikiki•4.6

- JJAYMinneapolis - St. Paul •1 review5.0Dined 4 days agoGreat little family run place at the retro 1960's Madmen style Breakers Hotel on Beachwalk in Waikiki. Cozy place serving excellent sushi, sashimi, and washoku Japanese dishes. Excellent attentive service and low key atmosphere have made this a "fly under the radar" local favorite. Recommend highly!More infoWasabi Bistro - HonoluluPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Waikiki•4.8
- WWayneVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •682 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoBest overall value and Edomae/Tokyo-style sushi in the Pacific!! The assorted sashimi plate for two under $40 is a steal!! My fav Nippon brew, Asahi Super Dry, on tap…….plus a healthy variety of sakes and shochus for those that prefer moonshine!! Easy ordering using the table tablet. Super friendly service by the floor staff and the most skilled and experienced Japanese chefs working hard behind the bar. What more can you ask for??More infoKatsumidori Sushi TokyoPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Waikiki•4.6
