Wai'olu Ocean Cuisine

Absolutely impeccable service by Daniel. Give that man a raise! Wonderful suggestions, attentive and incredibly nice. The food was great as well. Great job chefs! We had several drinks as well as Duck and Ahi for entrees. The dip was very good, sashimis were fresh, I can't remember what else we ordered. Two people who ate like a cow ended up spending over $200 for a birthday celebration lol. Oh don't forget the stellar views! Very underrated place in Waikiki.

Because of a newspaper add for a prefix special for Valentine's weekend, we decided to try this place for an early celebration to avoid the rush. We have know about it for sometime, but just never got around to checking them out. I was very happy with our choice. It was an amazing dinning experience. Don't let the name of the building the restaurant discourage you. It isn't actually owned by him and is just licensed to use it. Once you get past that fact, you are now in the restaurant which is located on the lobby level or second floor. Wai'olu Ocean Cuisine has a open deck that has partially inside/outside floor plan with comfortable casual seating. It is really mean for you to chill and enjoy the sunset. The design is great and does allow you escape that city feeling that Waikiki can have as a concreate jungle sometimes. Our choices for the prefix were the ahi tartar, scallop, black cod and chocolate caramel tart. All were just amazing with flavor and presentation, however the portions were conservative and we did end up getting a couple items from their sushi selection before our dessert. The Rise of the Phenix Roll was amazing and I highly recommend it. Also, their Nigiri was just as great. For the evening, our server was Aki. She was great. Really thought she was pleasant and attentive, but everyone there was supper friendly and welcoming. Our early Valentine's dinner was top notch and hopefully we will return again to try more of their offerings along with their comfortable and relaxed yet well serviced atmosphere.
