Beginning with a small shop of just 9 seats in Dotonbori, Osaka in 1986, our founder simply wanted to make everyone happy with his soup. From there, we expanded throughout Japan. Now, this is our first upscale Surf + Dine concept with a full service bar right in the heart of Waikiki. Our trademark dish is Oishii Ramen, literally meaning Delicious Ramen. Our soup is highly original while also inspiring nostalgia. It is light in colour but rich in flavor and brings a taste that’s both new to you yet familiar. We also feature other items including sushi, donburi, Japanese small plates, ribs, and Hawaiian local favorites. We host a full service bar that offers local flavor inspired craft cocktails, mocktails, and a large selection of wines, sakes, shochus, beer, tequila, whiskey and much more. Enjoy dining in our light and airy modern inspired dining room with over 130 seats or book one of our private rooms perfect for special occasions or business dinners.

I spend a ton of time in Waikiki and Moani’s has become a go-to. The menu is small, but done right. You’re never going to get a bad dish here. That said, the menu would benefit from another dish or two. They used to have an amazing diver scallop dish that was phenomenal. Sad to see they took that off from a variety perspective and didn’t replace it with another special dish. Really, that’s my only complaint. The cocktails are amazing. Definitely try the lillikoi mule! The live music makes for a lively atmosphere. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

Pick this spot to meet up with friends from out of town and I wanted to find a hidden spot in Waikiki. Glad I stumble on Aloha Table. Location is central Waikiki and there was 4-hour validated parking at nearby Hyatt Centric. It was a great, quaint place to catch up with a nice outdoor seating area. Food was good and staff was friendly & attentive. Will have to come back to this spot soon.

Special bargain menu of local favorites for Honolulu Restaurant Week caused us to find this place and we weren’t disappointed. Poke sampler was really yummy. Loved the fried rice with Kalua pork. Banana spring roll sweet treat. Much aloha from servers. Out of IPA;). We’ll tell others.
