    Tonia (I think that’s how you spell her name) and Matt are an awesome duo. Staff was on point. We will definitely be back again.

    Always a great place to have a fun, delicious meal. Cameron cooked us a fabulous meal with some flair and jokes. Alyssa took care of all our other needs and was very pleasant throughout the night. We brought friends from the mainland and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The wagyu melted in your mouth. Mahalo Tanaka of Tokyo for the great dining experience.

    We had a very nice Valentine’s Day pre-concert dinner with a few other couples seated along with us. Chef Rico was really energetic, smooth with his cutlery and one-liner humor. He helped kick off a wonderful evening for us. Mahalo to Chef Rico and the Ala Moana staff that took good care of everyone at our table!
