    We basically tried the entire menu because we are self proclaimed foodies. Definitely recommend the table side poke. It was so good and the presentation was fantastic! It was fresh, simple yet complex, and mouth watering delicious! We also tried both the rolls and loved the spicy ahi tuna! The unexpected star of the show was the crispy Korean chicken! We poured out crab fried rice into the plate to scrape up the last of the sauce. So good! We also ordered the catch of the day and the fish was so flaky and it just melted in your mouth! I don’t think the entire table looked up from their food to chat. We just kept eating. And we’d do it again! We did joke about going back for the crispy chicken, and I wish we did. For now, I’ll just dream about it.

    Ulu Ocean Grill and Sushi Lounge isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience that beautifully captures the essence of the Big Island. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted by breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The restaurant's design thoughtfully maximizes this stunning location, allowing diners to soak in the beauty of the coastline as the sun dips below the horizon – a truly magical backdrop to any meal. Beyond the the service at Ulu is genuinely exceptional. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and radiate the warm aloha spirit.

    Amazing food with beautiful sunset view. We took vegetable maki rolls, Pineapple curry with rice and Macadamia nuts ice cream. It was all delicious.

    Service is always impeccable. Very well presented. Bluefin poke and pork bao buns were amazing. Onaga was soft, flaky and delicious. However, sorely disappointed in the ahi Wellington. Beautifully presented tho lacked in flavor even with the lau leaf and paté. Creative but fell short. Everything else was great, atmosphere, music etc. With this new menu, I don’t believe I’ll be back and rather opt for either Canoehouse or Moana for the pricing.

    We were celebrating my husband’s bday and were seated at a fab oceanfront table. We shared pupus, salad and entree - all of quality, presentation and deliciousness. Our server Sharon was exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable and professional. The entire staff was very welcoming and attentive from beginning to end of our experience. Mahalo Ulu!

    Have been here many times. Our favorite on the Big Island. Its right on the beach with tables right up to the ocean where you can hear the waves while you are having dinner.

    We had an amazing time here with our children. This was the last meal of a 7 days stay on the Big Island, and it was my favorite meal. The food was excellent, the view was beautiful, and the service was the best we had anywhere. They were particularly attentive to our younger son's many food allergies. Our server overheard us discussing that it was our anniversary and sent over a wonderful dessert without any initiation on our party. Overall, I wish this hadn't been our last day on the island because I would have wanted to come back a second time. Highly recommend!
