- AAshleySan Diego •8 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoMy husband and I booked a reservation and were seated quickly and beers arrived moments after we ordered them. We did the all you can eat for $56 and I felt there was a good selection to choose from for that price (for $56 you can choose from 45 items). Out favorite was probably the pork belly or ribeye, but all the selections were great. We added on a few dipping butters, which elevated the meal even more. The service was fantastic and the overall experience was great. We plan to eat here every time we visit Waikiki.
