Authentic luau setting

Reviewed By Susi C

This place was awesome! A beautiful view and great entertainment! The performers were awesome and very talented. Amazing atmosphere and great for pictures. The food was pretty good, especially if you like meat. Chicken was good, pork was good, teriyaki steak was good. The ceremony of taking the pig out of the ground was very cool and impressive!

We enjoyed this little restaurant so much we ate there several times. Authentic Hawaii dishes, locally sourced farm to table offerings, friendly service, good prices and casual ambience.

Longboards Bar & Grill

Reviewed By githagopro

*Opinion on breakfast only*: I stayed at the Marriott Ko Olina and came here for breakfast twice due to the convenience. Longboards is the cheaper option compared to Longhi’s, which is another restaurant within (but functioning separately from) Marriott. The breakfast buffet options at Longboards were pretty standard - rice, eggs, sausage/bacon, oatmeal, fruits, toast. For $19 it also comes with coffee/tea. A la cart menu items are almost comparable in price so buffet seemed to be the better value. Loved the outdoor seating right by the water. Can’t speak for their lunch and dinner options but I did notice a pretty extensive cocktail menu that I wish I got to try!

Makahiki

Reviewed By Andrea8182

Came here for character breakfast. The buffet had a wide range of food to choose from including a make your own omelette station. Mickey, Minnie, goofy, and Pluto came around to each table to take pictures and sign autographs. Before you sit down at your table, you take a picture with Mickey Mouse. Towards the end of the meal an employee will come over and ask if you’d like to purchase the pictures and/or a CD of all the pictures for about $35.

Reviewed By V2807AEjohnw

We had a late bite to eat while staying at Aulani. This place was a nice comfortable venue for drinks, appetizers and desserts. My daughter loved the sliders and I thoroughly enjoyed the Pua'a Kalua Gratin with Na'an. The Bananarama dessert was wonderful. This is a must visit if you're near Aulani. They had live music too and the duo was a nice surprise.

Ama Ama Restaurant

Reviewed By Monika S

Have been to Aulani before. Was shocked to see whole centre under construction. No mention on website. Heavy machinery in operation which didn’t enhance the ambience. Because half the site is closed off everyone is in the same space. It seemed very crowded and congested not relaxing at all trying to get around. After walking the whole site to get to this restaurant, we were ignored at the hostess desk for 5 minutes. We had reservations, so once we were acknowledged we were sat at a nice table on the edge with the view. Waitress forgot my drink order so I didn’t get anything until after the main arrived as she disappeared in the intervening period. Staff were either hiding and goofing around out the back or chatting at the waiters station. My husband had the burger which he said was very fatty and made him feel sick all afternoon. I had the chicken sandwich which once salted tasted pretty good but the ciabatta was very stale. The side salad was the best thing, very fresh. Go for the views, it is a very nice setting looking over the beach but don’t expect too much from the food, and it is pretty pricey but it’s Disney.

was referred here by some locals at our resort. affordable and packed with locals in the mornings. must try the macademia nut pancakes with some coconut drizzel out of this world! delish!!very cheap, and helps support the local economy! rather than the huge resorts where you pay 20$ for an omlet! staff was friendly and nice as well.seating goes quick, but turnaround is fast, so dont have to wait long for a table. also friendly locals will invite you to sit with them if you care to.

Ono Steak and Shrimp

Reviewed By gbmir3

In a very casual, rustic order-at-counter restaurant setting with limited seating, the Shack provided outstanding food from coconut shrimp to steak to kalbi shortribs. The entire family of 12, including adults and teenagers, all enjoyed the food. Super ambiance although very casual. Must visit!
