Maybe the biggest disappointment of my trip. Ate here our last night after 16 days in Hawaii (we were on Oahu the last couple days for the wife and daughter to run the Hibiscus half-marathon). I was really looking forward to this meal. We were greeted very nicely but as I looked around I could tell this place was not... More

A highlight in our trip to Honolulu. This was far and away the best meal of our trip. We had eaten at all of the top restaurants on Oahu but none compared.

The reputation just doesn't seem to track with the experience. The tables are so close together it really isn't possible to have a private conversation. Service was slow. Very slow. We shared the Caesar salad - beautiful presentation, but not a great salad. At these prices it should be great. Frankly, Assagio is a whole lot better. I had the... More

The service is excellent and the food is very tasty and beautifully presented. It's one of President Obama's favorite restaurants and I can see why.

Everything about this place was perfect for our 5 year anniversary. Be prepared to spend a lot of money though. Our bill for two was just about $400, we did the 5 course tasting with the wine pairing - amazing! They customized the menu with our names on it which was so cute! They also wrote "Happy Anniversary" on our... More

Thankfully we went here on a gift card so we didn't have to pay because we found it to be overpriced and we left hungry. For that amount of money for food they should at least give you something more than two bites. Can never figure out why this place is so highly rated. Fish was fishy....my wifes pork chop... More

When we lived in Honolulu, we didn't know about this restaurant... not sure how we missed it. Now 10 years after departing we came back on vacation and a friend suggested we try it. I cannot say enough about the outstanding food and service. The food was presented well, perfectly prepared and the flavors were well balance. The service was... More

My wife and I dined here as part of our anniversary trip to Hawaii. The food was outstanding and the service was great. Being a bit of a sake snob, I was a bit disappointed by the lack of depth of the list, but that was a minor annoyance at best. A nice touch is that if you tell them... More

Alright peeps, let's face it. Alan Wong's is NOT in Waikiki and facing the Ocean. It's on King Street and I you MUST have a view you should request a window seat when you make reservations. However, you're probably going to this restaurant for the food, which is nothing short of amazing, and to enjoy the company of the people... More

Came off of an 11 hour flight from NY, showered and headed straight to Alan Wong's. We were an hour late for our reservation but we called from the airport and they kindly moved it to 9pm. It was so nice to be at a high end restaurant enjoying wine and clean linens after a long journey. Food was delicious.... More
