Restaurant

I will start off this review by stating that although I eat out 5 or 6 night a week, I am not a Thai food aficionado. I do love good food and good service and I got both here from Chef Guy and Chef Paul at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant in the Windward City Shopping Mall. With that said, the food at Chao Phyu Thai Restaurant is AMAZING! The newly redecorated place is very clean and comfortable for a single, a couple or a large party. The walls and decorations in the place make you feel like you are invited to the Chefs house for a personal meal. I came in on a weekday for a business lunch and was greeted by Chef Guy and he sat with us and took the time to talk story and get to know us. He suggested a few menu items and set us up with some drinks. This was a business casual lunch, so we only had tea and water, however they do allow BYOB and encourage you to bring your own wine or a cooler for the gang. We started off with the red curry soup and a double order of Thai Crispy Spring Rolls. Next up was a generous platter of Chicken Pad Thai Then came the main course of Seared Scallops on a bed of Indian noodles cooked to perfection. Along with that is the imported King Salmon; we ordered the salmon to share which came with a generous side salad and served on top of a bed of couscous so tender and buttery. This fish just falls into your mouth and is so delicious. Also, in the main course was the giant sautéed clams in a curry soup broth. My favorite was the Scallops, and I recommend this place!! Most entrees are served with a fresh salad, and generally are loaded down with vegetables. The portions are huge, and everything is made fresh to order. What sets them apart is the brilliant balancing of flavors. Sweet, acid, heat, sours, bitter and fragrant aromatics... nothing too 'spicy'... take for example the pad Thai I am used to pad Thai that is coated in some slippery sweet peanut sauce... here the peanuts are served on the side (delicious) and the flavors of the pad Thai without the peanut sauce is simply irresistible. This restaurant is in the Windward City Shopping Mall, next to Starbucks and facing Kamehameha Hwy in Kaneohe and is easy to see from a moving car. Pop by for a quick visit, look at the menu and pictures on the walls, then order the best Thai Meal you have had in Hawaii.

Food is good and prices are reasonable. Servers are a bit hard to understand but the overall experience is usually good.

Had the won ton min. It was ok, but the won ton didn't have much flavor. Needed some oysture sauce in the filler. Otherwise, it was fine. Service was good.

I love going to Gyotaku Japanese restaurant and getting their salads...what? Salad at a Japanese restaurant? You have to try the salmon skin salad...very tasty..oishi! Ono for the rest of us..

Love the food and service!

Reservations recommended if go on Friday and weekends. Variety of authentic dishes.

Went there on a Saturday night and was able to get through the drive threw in a matter of minutes. The speed here tops any McDonald's on island. I would recommend this place to anyone in a rush.

Such a quaint little place. The staff is not over friendly (I have had one or two issues... Nothing that would keep me from going back.) The live music and atmosphere makeup for it. The food is good and I have fun.

We dined in the bar two evenings last week. The food was excellent as expected. The bartenders were friendly and engaging. Clearly management is on it game. The restaurant and hotel reflect nicely on each other. You won't be disappointed.

This place is a nice rooftop bar. The food is interesting. This is far from authentic Mexican food and if you go in knowing that it is great. I love their goat cheese quesadilla but I think that is only on happy hour.

We had a table with a great view overlooking the harbor. The food and service were amazing, one of the best meals we had in Waikiki. Highly recommend!

Are you looking for a place with a wide and astonishing assortment of beer? This is Definitely the place to go. They had at least 30+ types of beer on tap. I recommend the lamb burger as well, it was so delicious it didn't even stand a chance against my hungry stomach!

We were wondering if the food would live up to its price and it does! Was so good, the portions were generous and the food was fresh and flavourful. Our waiter was heaps friendly, it was very enjoyable all round. Decor and out look were comfy and nice. Will return.

Best locals deal in Waikiki. But please keep it a secret. 🤗

I love being able to make phone orders and pick on my way home. Parking can be tricky due to stall size. So often big cars/trucks go and parnking can be difficult. Food is consistent at all locations.

I'm a sushi novice, but enjoy exploring new flavors. My wife had a meeting for diner so I went by myself and sat at the sushi bar. The chefs were all very nice and helpful in suggesting different bites. They were patient and taught my how to judge the quality and experience level of a sushi chef. I will be back during this trip. In the past, other places have looked down on me for not being "knowing" sushi, this place was the exact opposite. Dropped one star because it is expensive - but then again isn't everything in Hilton Village?

The food was okay, the appie was very greasy, ordered fries as side and it was very dry and hard. The pasta and the garlic prawn were good though. The service was very slow, but it was mother's day, so that part is understandable.

The food was excellent, I had the loco moco and it was the best I've ever had!! The smoothies were great as Well! The wait to be seated was nothing, but the wait to have our orders taken was what felt like forever. There was only one server when we first got there and he was taking orders from people who came after us. I think it may have been an honest mistake since he was on his own and the place was full. But the excellent food made up for the wait! And once we finally ordered, everything came out super quick.

Excellent food and service! It's pricey though but the food came out clean and felt like homemade.

One of the best Japanese restaurants for home cooked flavors. The food and selection are great. The sashimi and sushi are fresh and well prepared. The prices are in line with other Japanese restaurants in this tier. They have daily specials that are worth a look. Tip: make reservations, this place gets crowded for dinner.
