Olili offers a unique dining experience tucked away on the second floor of a gourmet market in Honolulu. With a "creative menu" and standout dishes like bone marrow and chili crab noodles, it's praised for its "fantastic" food and "superb" service.

    Had a surprisingly great experience at Olili. We had the luau set course for restaurant week and it was very delicious. The elevated Hawaiian food was spot on and they had solid portions. We ordered the matcha and 2 of the whisky based cocktails and they were delicious! The drinks were better than most other bars and restaurants serve. Overall the ambience is modern, service was good, and the portions were solid. Definitely another excellent Foodland restaurant product.

    割とアジアンテイストな感じでした。お店は人手が足らないのかみなさん忙しそうでした。店員さんの笑顔は良かったです。

    We had a fantastic dining experience at Olili in Waikiki! The meal was truly delicious, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared with incredible flavors that made it well worth the visit. The service was impeccable, with a friendly and attentive staff who ensured we had everything we needed, and the ambiance was perfect—inviting, relaxed, and elegantly styled to match the beauty of Waikiki. While the prices were a bit on the higher side, the quality of the food and the overall experience made it worthwhile. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would definitely return for another memorable meal!

    Perfect experience at ‘Olili! Food was fantastic and the service was unmatched. Interesting location - upstairs in a food market, but don’t let that deter you! Highly recommend!

    Happy Hour from 4-6pm peaked my interest but that’s just the beginning. The crew was welcoming and attentive in the most detailed ways. I hadn’t eaten my Chili Crab Noodles yet as I was uber focused to text and send pics back home to provoke jealousy in my kids. Staff was concerned that I didn’t care for my dish as I devoured my Kanpachi Crudo with joy! Embarrassed that I finished to the bottom but told that it happens consistently. Both selections have me identifying the surprises such as the pickled mustard seeds in the Crudo and the chew of the Aloha noodles finishing the delicate crab and Saffron-Tamale Emulsion sauce. Thanks Chef for a lovely meal.

    Service, decor, location, view is excellent. I had the shrimp fried rice: the shrimp was excellent, the flavor was excellent but I wish there were more ingredients. It felt like lots of rice, 6 pcs of shrimp, one green vegetable. My friend had the lettuce cups. Literally lettuce not cut with sauce/cheese. Maybe we picked the more boring dishes…but it seemed to almost too simple?

    We were very favorably impressed by 'Olili. We live only a few blocks away and walk by it all the time, but given a gift certificate for dinner by a friend we finally decided to test it out. We liked the space very much, a quiet and sequestered booth for us and our service dog, and appreciated the attentive service conveyed by several people working there, not only our waiter but the bartender etc. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. We order a round of drinks to start, the lettuce and chicken appetizer to follow. Two of us ordered the hamburger, which both praised. I ordered the roast chicken, which appealed not only due to its imaginative presentation, but also and most importantly due to its delicious taste. My rice side dish was unlike any rice dish Ive ever had. (Should have paid more attention to the ingredient list, so cannot say more than that I loved it.) We skipped dessert; we were quite full and satisfied then. Overall a very positive and enjoyable meal. We will return.
