   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.

   Our best dining experience in Waikiki! Bethany was so attentive and friendly! She provided great recommendations from the menu. The food was delicious! We had the bone marrow and kampachi apps! Extremely fresh! I’m surprised the restaurant wasn’t packed with food this good! Will definitely recommend to anyone coming to Oahu

   Food is great, service good. However it is a restaurant that is in a side section of a supermarket. If I had known that I would not have gone.

   Best dinner of our latest trip to O'ahu. Several pupus, a shared main, and dessert were all unique and each delicious.

   ワイキキマーケットと繋がっているレストランですが、落ち着いた雰囲気と静かさ。 料理は私の想像力を遥かに超えてくる創作性、オシャレ、美味しい❗️local rootsとガーリックシュリンプとカクテル。 カラカウアのベタな食事に飽きたら是非訪れて下さい。サーバー、バーテンダー、フレンドリーで素敵な人達でした。 次は息子夫婦も連れて行きます❗️

   The food and drinks were amazing!! My friends joked that we were at Whole Foods or chipotle with the market being up front but everyone was pleasantly impressed with the quality of the food.

    Amazing food and cocktails! Staff were also really attentive and helpful. Can be a little hard to find/notice, but it's definitely worth visiting!
