It has become our annual tradition to return to Moana to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Food was fantastic and the hostess was very hospitable. Sunset was magnificent. We had great experience every time we went there.

About the restaurant
Redfish Poke Bar by Foodland is Waikiki's best spot for authentic and innovative poke bowls and much more, brought to you by the people who know poke best.

Order by the pound or create your own customizable poke bowl at the front counter. Or dine in at our restaurant or bar where you can enjoy local craft brews, signature cocktails, locally-sourced plates made for sharing (even if you don’t want to) and of course, a mouth-watering variety of fresh poke with all the creative fixings.

Redfish is a modern take on the food we love to eat in Hawai‘i. Let’s eat!

Another hidden gem. At Wayfinder Hotel, a 4-star hotel in Waikiki on the Ala Wai canal. Terrific poke menu with lots of options, but also a full set of pupus and entrees. The Vietnamese ribs are great either as a starter or a full meal. Will be back.

Fantastic ocean view! We had a great sunset dinner. Four stars for the service as our waitress forgot to put in my husband’s order so his food was delayed. Great fish tacos and poke nachos though!
