Waikiki Beachside Bistro

Waikiki Beachside Bistro, nestled at Ala Moana Beach Park, garners a three and a half star review for its unique beachfront setting and an array of lunch options that facilitate delightful picnics on the sand. The convenience of enjoying a meal with the soothing backdrop of the beach is undoubtedly a highlight.However, the charm of this beachside bistro is somewhat tempered by the steep prices that might leave your wallet feeling a bit lighter than expected. Venturing into their menu, I decided to try the garlic shrimp plate. The dish arrived with an almost excessive amount of rice, enough to make a separate meal, and a salad that seemed to be in need of a lighter touch in the dressing department. Yet, the redeeming factor lay in the decently flavored shrimp, providing a satisfying burst of taste.While the portion sizes and the balance of the accompanying elements could use some fine-tuning, the overall experience at Waikiki Beachside Bistro is buoyed by the picturesque setting and flavors that, despite some missteps, manage to leave a reasonably satisfying impression.

Food is overpriced. Service was quick and everyone was super nice. I guess that's the price you pay to eat in Waikīkī!

If you're lounging in Kuhio Beach in Waikiki Bay and in need of a snack it doesn't get much more convenient than Waikiki Beachside Bistro. Is the food a little overpriced? Sure, but you're likely in Hawaii on Vacation so go ahead and throw $20 at a Pineapple smoothie. It adds to vacation experience. The pulled pork nachos hit the spot. The pork was tender and juicy and the toppings really created rich flavor with each bite. The jalapeños were especially hot and provided a satisfying snap during each bite. Definitely try this spot if you're in the area.

Got hungry while at the beach and wanted to get some food! I ordered the Garlic Shrimp Plate. The flavor of the shrimp with garlic and basil with the spicy garlic aioli was sooo good! I wish they gave more shrimp, lol! The plate came with rice and salad. I also go the Island surfer. I mean, when in Hawaii, why not? It was on the pricey side, but overall a nice treat!

This review is only for their pineapple slushy drink.The slushy is refreshing and tart! The extra slices of raw pineapple are very juicy and flavorful.The downside is that you can't really eat the rest of the pinepple inside, and it is a bit expensive ($18 for the drink).Regardless, it's fun to try and drink on the beach!

I saw these pineapple drinks and knew I had to have them. I had no idea where they were from but after taking a stroll outside our hotel (moan) I saw the sign and knew our next beach day I had to have them. Manly for fun IG photos lol but they sure did look amazing. They were! So refreshing, fresh and oh so adorable!! I didn't even realize they had food!

Got some shaved ice here. It was a standard shaved ice. Wouldn't say anything was remarkable about it. The awesome thing is that this little shop is near the beach. They had plenty of outdoor seating that faced the ocean. You can enjoy your snack or meal and also enjoy the natural scenery.

Food was good and the pineapple drink was amazing. Service was fine and the factions is great right by the beach.

We came for the shrimp and they don't have the shrimp. We usually order thebeach side bistro luau plate. The Guy told us that they will give extra Kalua pig and sweet potato it's not even extra. It's more like rice. and I went to ask for more Lumi salmon tomato they said they don't do it, but I told him I'll pay for it if it's extra and they said oh we just don't do it for the lumi salmon so rude and also the guy that taking order he's rushing us to order. He look like he's not so happy what he's doing.

Was at the window three minutes until 10 which is supposed to be the opening time the guy walked by the window and said not open yet when I asked what time they would open he told me not opening until 1130 very rude attitude
