Best Historic Restaurants in Kaimuki

Beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous ocean view! Food is fabulous! Great dining experience!

Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.

The food was magnificent, as was the view. Kevin was the most charming, gracious server I have ever experienced. We felt like we were dining with family. Kudos to the entire staff. We will return soon.

Afternoon tea at the Moana is a memorable experience. We have been dining here for over a decade. It's the highlight of our trip. Aki, is our favorite server there. She goes above and beyond to make your afternoon tea special. The ambiance can't be beat. The banyan tree is a lovely canopy and the sparkling blue water of the ocean is lovely to gaze at. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you. If you enjoy classical architecture you won't be disappointed. The assortment of tasty finger foods is wonderful. My favorite tea is the creamy coconut. It's like eating a piece of fresh coconut. Perfect place to relax, enjoy the company of others and have delicious treats to savour.

I picked this restaurant based on previous reviews, and the request from my group for an outside/al fresco dining experience (hey, it's Hawaii, ya gotta eat outside). Very satisfied, my wife had the Hawaiian burger ("best burger I've ever had"), I had wood-fired mexican pizza, other dishes were enjoyed all around. Highly recommend.
