Booked 1 time todayHonestly one of the most amazing dining experiences my partner and I have had, and we do enjoy fine dining. Overall, all of the components, attention to detail, care for the customer and the ingredients, and the overall ambience and quality was just superb. It all combined to be one of the finer and more enjoyable dining experiences we have had, anywhere. Not to put too fine a point on it, but we travel all over the globe. If you enjoy Japanese cuisine you must treat yourself and dine here. More

There is a sense of excellent craftsmanship here at the restaurant. How they treat each product and present it with timing and excellence. The chefs truly try to bring the customer the full expression of each fish or dish presented and served. My only wish was that the pace of service was a little more relaxed, I felt rushed to eat each dish and they were served back to back to quickly. I thank them for the craft and dedication. More

Awesome experience. We ordered Omakase Sashimi and Nigiri. It’s was amazingly fresh and creatives. On our Sashimi platter there was some shrimps head for displayed. We requested the chef to deep fried them. It’s was so crisply amazing. The shrimp flavor were bursting in our mouths. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned❣️ More

Stacey provided excellent service. Appetizers were fabulous, my husband especially enjoyed the clams. For me the crab cakes and butterfish never disappoints. And I can’t say enough about the desserts. We usually celebrate birthdays there. More

All the food is really good and we had an excellent waitress. The only complaint from my husband was the meat in the noodle bowl was tough and had a lot of fat. They sent us a special dessert because we were celebrating our wedding anniversary. More

We bought a Groupon special which made it affordable. We had fewer choices than the regular menu; but we didn't feel like that really mattered because the choices were varied. The tasting plate was superb with chicken, squash, naan bread, seafood, vegetables.the main entree was filling with the right proportions. Dessert fruit plate and sorbet were the perfect end. Reservations a must. Still busy at 8pm. More

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Honolulu. Besides great food the interiors are comfortable and romantically lit. Try the cream cheese tofu as a starter, so simple, light and creamy. Robert is a gracious host to all. More

Hihimanu Sushi is awesome! It was our anniversary and I had been researching all the sushi omakase restaurants on Oahu to take my wife to. We've done omakase before, but never at this level. I considered Sushi II, Sushi Ginza Onodera, Sushi Sasabune, Sushi Maruyama, and Sushi Sho (apparently all the high end omakase restaurants must include "Sushi" in their name :) but after reading all the reviews and understanding Chef Ray's philosophy, both my wife and I can say hands down, this was the right choice! If you want traditional Edomae style sushi, then this might not be your cup of tea. But if you want the most amazing sushi experience, from chef to food, then this is the place. The presentation is amazing and Chef Ray's knife skills are unmatched. Of course, the star is definitely the ingredients that Chef brings in. According to Chef Ray, most of the fish and seafood was at the auction in Japan just hours upon arrival in Hawaii. I can say that all the food we ate reflected that. The rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned and Chef was very attentive to our needs. We never felt rushed and Chef Ray was very engaging. On a side note, one reviewer on Yelp said that Chef Ray needs to work on being more "tactful and refined," but as local people, we loved our interaction with Chef and his staff, and it was a nice change from traditional sushi bars where the sushi chef can make you feel intimidated! Hihimanu Sushi is not cheap, so don't think your going to pay Morio's prices (which we love) so be prepared to pay for this experience. In addition, this is not a buffet, so the more you eat, the higher the cost will be. But Chef will remind you that it's up to you if you want to continue going or if you want to stop and let you know what he has available. That being said, the price we paid was totally worth it and you will not regret coming here. A year ago, the ave. price was said to be around $100-150 per person. But I would up that to $175-250 per person. It was worth it!! More

First time to their new location. Very stylish and contemporary. We went to after 5 and enjoyed pupus and sake martini. We liked the salmon with crispy rice and got two of them. We also ordered Hokkaido hotate which was to die for. This is one of the things to do on our list when we come to Oahu. More

There was 6 of us and we ordered the combination meal it says it will feed 4-5 but we had 6 people and we were able to take food home. Edamame, green salad, fried pork chops, kalbi, and fried rice. All this for $105.00 plus tax n tip. I definitely will get the combination again everyone was very full and satisfied. We thought if we need more food we could always order more but it was perfect.

We made a 12:15 reservation, and arrived by 11:50. We were seated 10 minutes later, along the balcony facing the ocean/Ala Moana Boulevard. A server brought by complimentary popovers (house specialty), and some really good whipped lilikoi butter. Another server eventually brought water (which should have come first). My wife had a really wonderful eggs benedict, and I had a very, very good Kona Kompachi fish and noodle dish with crab and miso soup broth. Service was excellent. Food was almost exceptional. I was very impressed! Highly recommended! Make reservations, as those with reservations are seated first (as they should be). BTW, on Sundays, if you arrive before noon, you have to go around to the ocean side of Neiman Marcus, 2nd Level, and take an elevator up to the third floor, as the store isn't open that early. More

Always a good experience at Mud Hen Water. The ideas are original and the ingredients are local and well prepared. More

They never disappoint! Good food, good drinks, attentive staff - what more could you ask for? Stumbled upon this place 2 years ago as me and a friend passed by. There was a lube and a crowd waiting and so we waited too since we had time. It was sooo worth it. Fast forward to now and spent Easter with my 2 adult kids and their partners who had never been there before. Happy hour is daily from 6-9pm and so we ordered about 3-4 cocktails each. Then ordered 2 different poke and the nachos as appetizers! OMG! That was a lot and then we ordered our entrees. I had the garlic lemongrass pork pasta / it was so much better than I expected! Everyone else ordered the rib eye kabob, Kauai shrimp, and the fried rice omelette. Everyone was pleased with what they ordered. I ended my dinner with the NY cheesecake. Perfect! Our server couldn’t have been more attentive & gracious! My kids already planned to go back with their friends for drinks after work and dinner. I’ll be taking my coworkers there as well! Love the vibe there!! More

OpenTable Diner -
Service was excellent. She was attentive to our table of 9. Did great with the recommendations regarding appetizers. Restaurant was slow with patrons since it was a Monday so noise level mainly made by our party. Food portion is ridiculously enormous but you get your monies worth please enough to take home. Fun for large parties. When in doubt go small portion it's still huge! More
OpenTable Diner -
Great atmosphere, drinks, food, and service. We were a party of four, and every one ordered a different entree and dessert. All of our meals were impressive. I would recommend to anyone looking for some good Mediterranean inspired food to check it out. More

We went at lunch time on Saturday and happened to make it in time for brunch. My husband had the famous Bloody Mary - too spicy for me, but it was served with almost a whole meal!! I decided on the ahi eggs benedict and my hubby ordered the fish and chips - both huge servings and could have easily been split. My ahi eggs benedict was cooked to perfection- the ahi barely seared and the egg yolk runny. The fish and chips was made with the fish of the day which started with an H and was a type of swordfish and was breaded with a light crispy furikake seasoning and possibly panko. So crisp and flavorful. I forgot to mention the crab relish atop the eggs - amazing. As if all of this wasn't enough, my husband ordered the banana lumpia -- oh my, a taste of heaven for sure. Banana light fried, dusted with sugar and cinnamon and drizzled with honey and a side of vanilla ice cream. 😍😍 Our server was #151, Jana P and she was awesome!! We will definitely be back and I will make reservations before we arrive on the Islands!! More

The most amazing seafood! The crab legs (snow & king) were unbelievable! The shrimp were huge and tasty and everything else was great as well. My focus was only on the crab legs to be sure I got my monies worth. Highly recommend if you can afford $63 per person for a buffet. More
OpenTable Diner -
I want this place in my hometown, but then I would never eat at home...and my wife is an excellent cook. Truly special, and for fine dining, a super value. I don't want to give a raving review because I don't want this place to become over popular based on good reviews...but it's simply one of the best places I've eaten. You must try the meatloaf...it's one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. For a special occasion or if you just want to be blown away with amazing culinary feats. More
OpenTable Diner -
The service was great and staff were friendly. We arrived at 9 am for the breakfast buffet, unaware that it started at 10:00 am. The staff apologized and provided us a round of mimosas for free as compensation. More

I am a huge fan of the breakfast choices, and since they do such a good job in the morning I decided to try out dinner. My steak was cooked to perfection, the brussel sprouts were amazing, I also tried the fried mozzarella sticks (personal favorite) and the french onion soup. Everything was so good I kept wanting to try more! More

Best Lobster ever. But, one of the servers did worst. The server didn't clean table where we were sitting, even not that busy time and never cares us. More
OpenTable Diner -
This is not a comment to say the food is bad because it isn’t. This is a comment to say that the food isn’t as good as it used to be. I used to be a frequent customer and tried most everything on the menu. I don’t think there was anything that I didn’t like or was disappointed in. I haven’t eaten there in a few months. 2 nights ago I went to dinner and ordered my favorite Spaghetti. It wasn’t bad, but it didn’t have a lot of flavor. Like I said it wasn’t to bash the food and I will be back to eat there again it was just my observation. More

ENVISIONED, INSPIRED AND CREATED BY CHEF IGNACIO FLEISHOUR, MAKANA MARKET AND DELI IS AN HOMAGE AND THANK YOU TO HAWAII AND IT’S BOUNTY OF FOODS.
Like in ancient days the best source of food is what was wild, closest to you, and as fresh as possible. If your food is coming from faraway think of how long it was at port there, at sea en-route, at port here, and at your store before you plated it. The healthiest food for you is the one you know, and have a relationship with. GET YOUR HANDS IN DIRT, GROW AND KNOW YOUR SOURCE.More
