Good vibe, good drinks, ONO food and pleasant and friendly customer service. A little pricey for the portions. But tasteful, so it’s hard to pass up.

Made reservations through Open Table. When we got there around 1"00 pm on a Sunday, thought we probably didn't need the reservations. However, within about 15 minutes, the place was packed! Food was tasty and service was friendly and professional.

It was surprisingly empty this morning, but we arrived more than an hour early! Maybe early Saturday morning is the best time? We really enjoyed the food and will definitely be going back…early!

It was a pleasant experience. Food was good and service was friendly. The food did take a bit too long to come out. We finished our first drink before the food came out so we had to slow down. Other then that, it was a great experience.

My family’s go to nowadays. Love their food, especially their loco moco with braised short ribs. We also enjoy the Manila clam soup, mango wings and whole fish. Not too pricey for an awesome food!

Our reservation was for 6:30. We arrived at 6:28and got seat immediately. There must've been around 5 parties seated and enjoying their food and music. Very empty for primetime. There were around 4-5 servers standing around talking and not one came to greet us for over 15 minutes. When one finally came, she apologized and said that they weren't sure who was supposed to take our table. Huh? Food was descent, price was descent, nice music, but very poor service!

I guess they are still having problems with wait service and kitchen help. This is about my 6th time and the food is ok. The service was good, but the wait time for the drinks and the food was very long. About 35 minutes. It was not full. Not even halfway. They also need to revamp their menu. Still the same after all this time kind of boring.

Large portions, inventive flavors, lovely hostess. Waiter was horrible and seemed like it was the last place he wanted to be. Lucky for him, bus girl had the same attitude, so they can run off together and find their Zen place, but it wasn't at the restaurant

Today experience was perfect. Jarvis, Jay, and my awesome server Darren. The food here is exceptional. But the service can be amazingly pleasant. Today it was both. Everyone was on it including the hostess. (I forgot her name ) I love to come to Mahi'ai because of the quality of food, the atmosphere and the music. Which starts at 5pm nightly.

Wife love the whole steam fish except the black Ben sauce was too spicy. Recommend having spice options in the black bean sauce., The ahi belly was very good and we also had a pupu dish of clams, soup, and bread - this went really well with our cold draft beers. Overall would rate this restaurant as a 4.8 and the service was excellent.

We love mahi’ai a however yesterday was just off. Service was off. We received our food quickly but our drinks never made it to the table. I had to flag the hostess to get our drinks. Then no one followed up to see if we needed refills (which we did).

Terrible experience at a restaurant we previously really liked. Overcooked, greasy fish & chips, loco moco served with no gravy, and the waitress never acknowledged the problem. We were stuck for the first part of the meal so close to the musical duo that my husband had to lean forward to avoid a mic stand. The musicians were great, but why did a group with reservations get stuck at the worst table in the house?

This used to be my fav spot, but I am strongly thinking about dining here again in a Sunday. Svc was slower than normal even having very few people at 930a Drive all the way from Kahala to have the ahi belly,only to find out that there were 2 different mennus, breakfast/lunch. Not brunch. It was apple min b4. 11a and we were going to leave but asked if we cud put. In a take out order for th3 ahi belly, informed not till after 11a. It was very disappointing.

Food was so ʻono! My fiance and I went for happy hour for the first time. We were happy we did. It wasnt too busy at that time, but did get busier for dinner. Menu was just the foods we love. I ordered the ahi burger (yum) and my fiance ordered the fish and chips (moist and good flavor). Sticky ribs and oysters for pupu. We had some beers and i had iced tea (i love unsweetened). Good, friendly service. Bonus: we were lucky to catch some live music too. Will come back and highly reccomend.

On our most recent visit to Hawaii, I tried to look for local restaurants outside of the resorts in Ko Olina. The Mahi"ai table looked good and from the reviews, I thought it was a nice upscale restaurant serving local Farm to table meals. After Google Maps got us to the shopping mall 25 minutes from pour hotel where the restaurant was located, we walked around for ten minutes before calling the restaurant and finding out that it was inside a large, high-end grocery store on the other side of the mall. We were seated right away and were impressed with the local ambiance (no tourists), a very entertaining young lady with a guitar singing a variety of music from Bob Marley to Al Jarreau, and a creative food and drink menu. The food was indeed "Farm to Table" with a Hawaiin Twist. We started with a small rib appetizer that fell off the bone. I had the seafood bowl special (clams, muscles, shrimp, fish in a savory soup) and my wife had an excellent "Crunchy Salad" that was unique and tasty. Our teen boys had noodles and fish& chips which were both really good. The portions were so large that even our two large teen boys couldn't finish their meals. Overall, the food was well prepared, original and an excellent value. This restaurant was a 25 minute drive from our resort hotel; but given the price, especially compared to the well known tourist restaurants that cost hundreds of dollars more, this was well worth the drive.

Wow! We were so pleasantly surprised & impressed with this restaurant within the Foodland Farms store at Ka Makana Alii Shopping Mall in Kapolei. Wonderful assortment of Pacific Rim cuisine meets hungry Hawaiian farm to table comfort food! So glad we ordered 2 of the Specials of the Day. The dynamite lobster crusted kampachi served over sushi rice w/ choy sum & sweet soy was THE BOMB!! This kampachi fish dish at Mahi’ai Table was better than any fish dish I’ve tasted at Roy’s, Mina’s Fish House or any other 5star seafood restaurant. The other special we ordered was the House Crispy skin duck breast served w/ butternut squash gnocchi, pineapple mostarda & crispy kale chips. I love to order Duck but usually only when it’s offered at a fine dining restaurant. Duck can be very tricky to prepare; but the Duck special at Mahi’ai was done to the perfect pinkness; so tender & tasty! We also ordered the Makai Bowl w/ mussels, clams, shrimp & fresh catch of the day. Lots of meaty shellfish in the tastiest lemongrass seafood broth-WINNER!! Better than any cioppino we’ve ever had. Will be back and will absolutely order the Makai Bowl again & hoping they add the kampachi to the regular menu. Any kine Crunch Salad w/ chicken was also excellent!! Our huge compliments to Chef Shane & his team at Mahi’ai Table!! The live entertainment was also an added treat!

A great place for brunch drinks and dining with BFFs in a casual island style atmosphere. Cool, refreshing craft cocktails, Papaya Margaritas anyone? and a good selection of wines and beers. All day menu features tasty local style farm fresh dishes, Lechon Style Brussels, Anykine Crunch Salad, Scallion bread and check out daily specials, always a winner. Service was excellent with our server Jaycee, who was always a step ahead with our drinks and meals. A shout out to hostess Cynthia with her warm, welcome smile and great recommendations! We three friends enjoyed a fabulous day at Mahi’ai Table, Hana Hou for sure!
