The “SOUP AND SANDWICH” was great. The best grill cheese steak sandwich I had. The Miso marinated butterfish was good. I was disappointed in their twice cooked short ribs. At least the Okinawa purple sweet potato cheese cake made it up. This restaurant was over hyped. I would most likely not come back.

During the pandemic and against guidance, somewhat concerned that customers were entering and being seated without wearing a facemask. They walked right past our table a foot away. This gave us an uneasy feeling. The food and service was great.

You can’t go wrong when you dine at Alan Wong’s. The food is always great...absolutely delicious...and the people are really nice! They had a Prix Fixe menu which still offered great selections to choose from. I actually like the “social distancing” set up as it adds to a more formal dining experience. Previously, I thought the seating was too close and the noise level could get “chinese restaurant” level...which is how I also felt at Roy’s in Hawaii Kai. (Sorry.) But really...Alan Wong’s...one of Hawaii’s BEST dining experiences!

My hubby and I were anxious to start dining out. This COVID isolation was getting tiresome. Our first choice was Alan Wong's. We were the only guests there at 5:45 p.m. but the restaurant did an excellent job of social distancing and still giving us awesome service. The food was as usual excellent! It was a prefixed 4-course menu which gave us a variety of choices for each course. By the time we left, there were 14 guests which were all social distanced perfectly! My hubby and I had a wonderful evening! Please do not hesitate about going there. They do an excellent job in all areas of social distancing!

Our 10th anniversary dinner. My wife is a vegetarian, so most places have one or two options for her and she chooses one and is usually disappointed. Alan Wong’s is the exact opposite of that. We both had the 5 course menu sampler, and they substituted the proteins with appropriate choices. We couldn’t believe it. Amazing! Normally when a restaurant caters to vegan or vegetarians, they flippantly create some terrible tofu dish. This was awesome (her words) EVERY course. Including the desserts. The service was second to none! Big thanks to Aaron and Jennie for the awesome experience! We’ll be back next visit for sure!Mahalo! 😊🤙🏻

I was not prepared for how delicious and rich the food was going to be! We had a great date night, and the butter tasting had me over the moon... I LOVE butter! It was a unique tasting that I would reccomend again. The staff were all very friendly, even the patrons were lovely ‐ we ran into one the following day shopping.
