- AAmosvipHawaii •35 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe had dined at Istanbul Hawaii for dinner on prior occasions but this was our first time eating there for brunch. The menu included some of our favorites like the Meze platter and lamb but also had slew of additional items on a separate menu. As always, the flavors did not disappoint. The drinks were delicious as well. Our server was well versed in the extensive weekend menu and offered suggestions to guide us along our culinary experience.More infoIstanbul HawaiiPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Honolulu•4.7
- JJimmyvipHawaii •15 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoInvited friends to celebrate a birthday at Katsumidori. Had a wonderful time overall. We knew the group we invited was not big sushi eaters but took a chance. They enjoyed the fried dishes (karaaage, oyster, tempura) and various sushi rolls. Of course I had my usual tuna deluxe, hotate, uni and unagi which I pretty much had all to myself! Great food, great service and value S always. Still our go to place.More infoKatsumidori Sushi TokyoPrice: Expensive• Sushi• Waikiki•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinerHawaii •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoPick 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.More infoAloha TablePrice: Moderate• American• Waikiki•4.6
- RRafaLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoWasabi Bistro is discreetly tucked away inside The Breakers hotel. Was greeted by one of the staff at the entrance of the hotel. All of the staff was outstanding during our dining. Ordered two of their signature dishes: the Baked Scallop Special and the Papaya Seafood Motoyaki, which were both excellent! Looking forward to my next trip to Waikiki so I can make a return visit to Wasabi Bistro.More infoWasabi Bistro - HonoluluPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Waikiki•4.8
