Waikiki Food Hall

The Waikiki food hall was a bit difficult to find as there's already a food "court" on the other side of the mall. Therefore there wasn't too many people visiting the different food stalls. It looked very lovely and welcoming though. We tried 6 different onigiris: spam and egg with sushi rice and seaweed wrapper. The four different flavors had some slight taste variations but overall it was spam, eggs, and rice. A good pre dinner snack. We also order a loco moco plate from a different stall

Aloha! Since it looks like the last review was a couple of months ago, a lot must have changed as it is now not good at all! I'm local and absolutely hate to bash local establishment but when, IMO, they have essentially given up but still take people's hard-earned money then I must let others know!First, it's been a while since I was here but my last visit was pretty different then previous already since apparently Waikiki Brewing Co. had took over the bar. Previously (and since beginning as I know it), the "bar" was primarily an ordering station for all the food vendors with the ability to order beer, too. However, in my last visit when Waikiki Brewing Co. took over, the bar became a full bar with mixed drinks, shots, etc. with dedicated bartenders. You can still order food there, too and eat at the bar! It was a welcome upgrade!I came in today with friends from the Mainland to show them this experience and it was a disaster! The Wiki Wiki Cheese Burger (formerly Honolulu Burger co.) and the Italian place, Allegrini Waikiki, are completely gone! Nothing in sight! Apparently, Waikiki Brewing Co. is completely gone, too! The "bar" is back to just an ordering station with just beer only. The prices have gone up! No more $5 pints! And no more pint glasses, just small plastic cups!While it looks like Meataly Boys station is still open , there was no one there and when we ordered from Meataly Boys menu for curry dishes, they were prepared by 5 Star Shrimp! It was awful!What a shame! This was a nice, cozy, and fun place with good drinks and good food stations! It's now a complete disaster! If they're going to run it like this, they should have the decency to just close up and not deceit people!

What a fun place!! We have driven down from Mililani twice to enjoy the vibe at Waikiki Food Hall. The service is great! We enjoyed 6.00 MaiTai's and 5.00 beers. The food was served quickly and delicious. We ordered the Oklahoma Hamburger and All American hamburger and both absolutely great. They weren't too big or small. The service was also great. The bartenders were polite and attentive.The live band played great Hawaiian music to make it real.However, I heard rumors that the place might be closing down.. I hope this isn't true because it's a wonderful place to eat, drink and relax.

We ate for 2 for under $50 with cocktails! That's a hard find on the strip. There are multiple restaurants in the food hall. It's located on the 3rd floor of the shopping center. We tried Potama, Burger Wiki Wiki, and Five Star Shrimp. I was really impressed by Potama, for $5 this is definitely a bang for your buck type of meal! The seaweed one had a sweet and savory umami flavor that I loved. The garlic shrimp was amazing and for only $15.5 you really can't beat the price. There are other restaurants in the food hall so I'll definitely be back before the end of my trip.

Waikiki Food Hall is one of the food halls one can find at the Royal Hawaiian Center. Currently the have eight vendors that range from coffee to pizza to garlic shrimp to dessert. They say here you can enjoy the "catch of Hawaii;" which would totally make sense considering the variety of vendors.On the night we visited; they also had some live entertainment happening. It was definitely nice to hear live Hawaiian music while dining. It was also nice to be able to try a variety of different food (We got food from the Meataly Boys which specializes in Hawaiian dishes and Potato which specializes in Okinawa "spam and egg onigiri."Overall nice, small food hall for good food at the Royal Hawaiian Center.

Tucked away in the Royal Hawai'i centers 3 floor building C, you'll find this little hidden gem. Waikiki Food Hall has a great vibe where friends and family can just enjoy foods of all sorts. The overall decor is laid back retro vibe with a foosball table, table top bar and lounge area. Food here was great and I do have to give my hats off to Meataly boys for their tender yakiniku meat having so much flavor. Soft spoken workers who warm up to you and willing to explain the seasoning so thank you! Cheeseburger wiki wiki takes the number 2 spot for me. SMASH BURGERS are the most flavorful and these burgers were set in between two toasty buns. Not overly greasy and definitely not unflavorful. Little Italy: meats imported from Italy?!?! It's like my tummy passport was stamped. During covid charcuterie boards were my jam and wish I knew this place during that era. Freshly sliced meats paired so well with the fresh cheeses. Wish I took a whole wheel home with me. Definitely would go back for more. Pork tamago, I don't normally like spam musubis but wow! I was impressed. This slightly seasoned open faced onigiri had me questioning why I don't season my spam with this sauce. Slightly sweet and yet salty with that crunch of nori. And the egg was a nice touch of slightly buttered goodness. Five star shrimp was okay. Nothing super fancy when it comes to butter garlic shrimp and it's honestly so hard to be impressed with this dish as it's a dish you're able to get at a lot of places. I was definitely bummed out that I couldn't try Milk bc my sweet tooth was crying for missing out.

I was so excited for the shrimp but was disappointed by how they were overcooked and way too much sauce!! The rice and pineapples were amazing, but that's what you would expect in Hawaii!! I was really hoping for amazing....

Waikiki Brewing Company has been successful in recent years with many expansions. Owned by the same company behind Cheeseburger in Paradise, they have taken over the bar counter area in Waikiki Food Hall. Located on the Diamond Head of the Royal Hawaiian Center on the third floor, it's an easy place to walk to and stop for a beer.They have expanded the bar area with lots of high top seating. You can also get your beer to enjoy anywhere in Waikiki Food Hall - you aren't limited to just their food. All beers are $5 and available by the pitcher; you get a choice of glass or plastic cups. They also have cocktails/liquor and a food menu.As this is a smaller location, there are just a handful of their core beers available - four selections as of this writing: Hana Hou Hefe, Craft Light, Aloha Spirit Blonde, and Skinny Jeans IPA. The bartender was super friendly and quick to serve, even with a big group of people. I could see this place getting busy on a weekend night.One issue that I hope they correct quickly - my first beer had a noticeable off flavor caused by either dirty draft lines or sanitizer improperly flushed out. For a brewery, neither is a good first look. Thankfully the bartender honored a quick replacement, which did not have the issue.For reasonably priced local beer, this is a great spot to stop on your Waikiki adventure.

Cute hang out spot on the corner of the third floor with an Aloha sign out front. Foosball table, butter shrimp and beer available.

The food was great and priced well for where the food hall is located. I really liked the different options that were available. I will definitely visit there again next time I'm vacationing in Waikiki
