Restaurants near Malaekahana State Recreation Area

Great service from Ally. Views and ambience were spectacular. Ocean views aplenty. Food was pretty good. Nothing inventive or spectacular, but solid. They really push their Mai Tais which were very tart with a thick and super sweet foam which reduces the size of the cocktail by a good amount. Not even close to others I’ve had in Waikiki.

A stunning location both inside and out! The food presentation was beautiful as well. The 4 of us shared the Ahi roll, spicy hamachi roll, kimchi fried rice, hamachi kama, and BBQ chicken. The rolls were a good size and the fish was very fresh. The kimchi fried rice was disappointing in taste and very small (small soup bowl sized for $28!). BBQ chicken was very tasty but it was a small portion for the price (~single deboned thigh a la carte for $18). Overall we had a great experience, our friend thoroughly enjoyed her birthday, and the service was excellent. If the higher prices compared to other similar quality foods are for the venue and presentation, it’s was worth it for this special occasion.

We had one of the best meals ever, here on Oahu. The St. Louis style ribs were cooked to perfection. The Lobster and crab roll was perfectly seasoned. Loved the crispy bacon in the roll. I generally don’t eat potato fries, but these were fried into something I couldn’t pass up - light and crunchy. The bowl of fresh fruit was a very tasty treat. The restaurant is a prime location on the North Shore, so the view is very nice. Service was excellent, just as we’ve come to expect from Roy’s restaurants. Well done!

I was a little hesitant to try this restaurant based on some of the reviews but man we were not disappointed. The Ahi Poke Starter was incredible, we also enjoyed our mains, the Miso Glazed Pork Chop and. Red Tenderloin. Definitely would recommend stopping by before your reservation and looking at the menu as it is limited but other than that it was a great experience.

We had a great experience at Pounders. Mango Pizza was delicious along with the Shrimp Tacos. Service was good! We sat outside so we enjoyed the atmosphere.
