Best Hawaii Regional Cuisine Restaurants in Ala Moana

Had a lovely evening at Monkeypod Kitchen. Beautiful ocean view! Our server Maka was an absolute delight! 5 star hospitality and customer service! Food good however entrees were cold by the time they arrived to our table. Maka was kind enough to give us dessert on the house that was delicious! Banana cream pie…YUM!!

Was pleasantry surprised at the overall experience being that it is a clothing store first! Food and the wine list were really good! After hearing about the coconut shrimp app, we had to have it, and enjoyed it! I was so happy to see blue crab/ avocado salad as a main entree and loved it. Don’t see it around much at all. We also had the Chilean sea bass and the ribs and they were excellent too. Service was outstanding and the drinks were innovative and delicious.

Outstanding food and service. We started with the crab cakes, sweet potato and coconut bisque, and hauula tomato salad. Our entrees were the tiger shrimp and the butter fish. Both knocked out socks off. We came here to celebrate our anniversary, Roy’s made our day even more special. Thank you Roy’s!

Totally recommend the Hula Grill! Loved the fish special and hula pie. Staff were quick to draw awning when a brief rain storm started. AJ gave great service!

Merriman's Ward is definitely our first preferred spot for wino wine share get togethers. Food's fantastic and approachable and the corkage is still wino friendly compared with other places that have corkage charges set to discourage bringing special bottles to share with friends. We enjoyed a 3 hour commiseration over a bottle of Radio Silence! Servers were attentive but not intrusive--they let us do our wine share thing; very nice and appropriate wine glasses. All in all a place not to be missed. Thanks and mahalo again Merriman's Ward!!
