Mahina and Sun's - Surfjack Hotel

Great Hawaiian Japanese fusion food- staff attentive and friendly

Attentive wait staff and terrific food. A splendid evening out on the town in the middle of the week. No better way to go.

Awesome food, awesome service and live music to boot, brunch can’t get any better than this. Highly recommend!

Reservations recommended for dinner. We had a reservation and was sat as soon as we checked in. The service was quick and the server was very knowledgeable of everything they offered. I had the kunoa strip loin. It was cooked perfectly and came with potatoes and vegetables. I definitely will be returning!

We took out of town friends. The food was very mediocre. We used to love this restaurant. We will not be returning.

It was one of our favorite restaurant in Waikiki
Food was fablous and interior was cool and fun
Not so expensive and we had a wonderful time
This one is the must try restaurant in Honolulu

Very cool setting. The food is from local ingredients, but cooked very well and delicious.

Had a great time, immediately booked another dinner after paying the check.

The fish was great and reasonably priced as it was in other visits. The Happy Hour is reasonable for Waikiki, but is not a real discount on wine and beer. The one issue that I would mention is that if you charge the bill to a credit card it gets coded as a hotel charge not a restaurant charge. Therefore, if you get bonus points on your credit card for restaurant and not hotel charges you get disappointed. It is a restaurant and a good one, so it should be coded as a restaurant.

The waitress seemed to be the only one working which seemed to slow her down, however, she was still very friendly, calm, and attentive.

We shared the group meal and it was mostly good but the whole fish was crusted and fried. We found it was a little dry and overdone which was a shame given the occasion and price. It was also quite cold inside from the air conditioning. We were expecting something a little more open air given the description so we did not bring warm sweaters.

ホテルに宿泊して1日目の夕食。味、コスト申し分ない。フィーを使えるからいい。

Good food and great drinks. Not Kinney’s best, but still solid place in Waikiki.

話題のシェフのメニューが、ワイキキで楽しめるのは最高。料理が独創的で盛り付け方も味もステキ。
料理の参考になる。自分でも試してみたいと思わせる。

昨年に続き大変美味しくいただきました。
アヒやチキン本当に美味しかったです！
また伺います！

Creative menu, fun atmosphere, and welcoming staff.

Adorable restaurant inside a cute boutique hotel. Drinks and service were top-notch!

Will definitely give it another shot.

Had a horrible experience probably won't return. Service was mediocre and food took forever and left me sick the next day

Food was uninspiring, staff was friendly

Went to Mahina and Sun on Xmas day because nearly all restaurants were booked solid. I thought, how bad could it be since the chef is well known for his other restaurants. Fooled me!
I guess it attracts an eclectic young crowd. Not my cup of tea. The hotel is a dive. At first sight, we should have kept going, but, I was hoping to be surprised. Unfortunately, I wasn't. The ambiance is not even shabby chic. More like shabby cheap. The service was ok but it took a long time for food to come out. Coffee was good but I was never offered a refill. The food was better than I expected after so many let downs. I had the fried rice. It was hot off the grill. Tasty but a lot of flavors going on. Filipino pork adobo, Korean Kim chee, soy sauce, ginger and Japanese pickled ginger. It was like what you might make at home when cleaning out your refrigerator. $17. My partner had the Mochi waffle. That was tasty, $10. Would I go back. No.

It was great

This is the second time I've been to the restaurant. First time when they opened and then recently in Dec 2018. The restaurant is open air to the hotel pool so you will get some noise from that area and it does feel strange at first. My recent visit included GREAT service from Sonda, but I felt for the price of the food, I would expect a little more. 2 drinks, 1 starter, 1 pizza and 1 main = $134 incl tip. The starters were good, but then the main were basic (but that's how most places are now).

Still needs some TLC and you can find better food outside of Waikiki.

Great little hidden away location on Kuhio in the thick of Waikiki. It was different from the norm, California meets Hawai’i surfer hang-out. The staff are exceptional and bring the place alive. Much preferred to the larger mega hotels. Feels like a home away from home. Check it out! Farm to Table restaurant.

Service was super slow. Must have been a half hour before drinks arrived, they sat on the bar. Food was lukewarm. Pizza came last but was cold. Asked to heat up and waited over a half hour while they ended up making a new one. Everyone else was completely done with their meal. Food was good.

Restaurant was way under staffed for brunch. Staff did the best they could.

The food and service were outstanding. Great variety on the menu!

This is one of my favorite restaurants on Oahu. It’s gourmet Hawaiian cuisine at its finest. I love that there’s paʻi ʻai and hōʻiʻo on the menu, that the products are locally sourced and organic when available. The menu has a great variety-something for everyone.

Very good food and service. Noise is a little loud b/c trying to play the live band across the bar. Really good place for a date or special occasion.

Delicious dinner and drinks. Very attentive and friendly service.

Always a favorite. The food is extraordinary, service with aloha, and the experience laced with authentic Hawaiian culture

I had the best cocktail in a long time. All the food we ordered was fantastic. Superb seafood and great flavours

Ich hatte das Risotto mit Gambas und den Cocktail des Tages. Beides wirklich sehr lecker. Preislich für Hawaii mittleres Segment. Das Ambiente, direkt am Pool, hat mir nicht so gut gefallen. Die Kellner waren sehr nett. Bedienung und auch essen war sehr schnell, alles in allem, gut bis sehr gut.

Surprisingly good food and fab vibes 🍍

We had such a warm welcome and the most wonderful service. Great cocktails, beautiful food, cool surroundings and great ambience. Much aloha.

We went for brunch and ordered the surfjack breakfast with opah. The opah was fried just right and was very good. Hubby went for the Au' Mahina bowl (poke) and the pickled cremini mushrooms were to die for. Let's not forget the drinks we had - Smokey Maria and Fresh Juice Mimosa - Lilikoi for me. Def will go back again and again!

We ordered the family feast, and found it imaginative and delicious. Our server, Liz, guided us through the elements of the dinner, and never left us wanting for either food or drink or knowledge of what we were enjoying. We will be back!

Friendly staff
