Smoked dip appetizer was outstanding. Both entrees of duck and garlic shrimp forbidden rice were wonderful.

I ordered an appetizer and an entree. Both were excellent and unique. I was surprised to find that Olili is the restaurant section of an upscale market, but the atmosphere was pleasant. I'd gladly return for a light meal next time I'm in Honolulu.

Overall its a great hidden gem. Once you get past the market aspect, the staff was pleasantly inviting. Service is top tier and very interactive. The food... WOW 👌 . The short ribs on rissotto and Okinawa sweet potato haupia bar were definitely worth the drive from down mililani. Bryan and the rest of the staff made the experience well worth it. A definite recommendation for anyone to try out. Mahalo Olili 🤙🏾

I was initially taken aback to discover that the restaurant was part of an open market, but from that moment on, nothing disappointed. The Bone Marrow, bursting with a beautifully zesty preparation, set the tone. The Crispy Skin Kona Kanpachi—flavorful yet delicate enough to let the natural taste shine through—completely won me over, even though I don’t typically enjoy fish. And the Pineapple Upside Down Cake, more subtle than expected, was the perfect finish. Every element, including the expertly crafted cocktails, was spot on.

It had been a while since I was in Waikiki for work and was able to go to dinner at Olili more often. I went on vacation last week and they are still a hidden gem. The chef has a unique style which is fresh and delicious. I’ll be back as soon as i can!

Parking was the main concern here. We parked at International Marketplace and made a purchase over $25 to get validation. We ordered Pineapple Upside-down Cake and Chocolate Lava Cake... both were beautiful and delicious! Service by Bryan, the bartender, was excellent! He's a hard-worker who maintains professionalism while being courteous and friendly!

Best kept secret in Honolulu. Tucked in behind a high-end 2nd-floor supermarket on Kuhio Avenue across the street from the International Marketplace, Olili is consistently outstanding. It offers a view of a bustling street with great people-watching, but is quiet enough for intimate conversation and relaxation. The menu - including entrees, pupus, and desserts - has consistent favorites (like garlic shrimp with forbidden rice, roast chicken, etc.) supplemented with new dishes each visit (kalbi short ribs this time). For dinner with a friend from the east coast just before Christmas last year, a tasty and generously-sized hamburger was the perfect solution for someone who wasn't quite ready for another asian fusion dish. Olili is a must-visit place.

I was returning to Oiliy and it did not disappoint. It's bright and light and fun and everyone is so sweet and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious. I save it for special occasions but maybe every day we are alive is a special occasion! I recommend it.

Do not let the venue for this gem keep you from experiencing the wonderful food and service at this restaurant! The food was quality of a 5 star restaurant and service was excellent. Waitstaff was extremely knowledgeable about the menu offerings and nothing dissapointed. Truly a hidden gem.
