Wai'olu Ocean Cuisine

This please is amazing with the city view, we ordered sushi which we liked a lot. We will definitely come back here

Truly loved the outdoor dining experience with gorgeous view of the cityscape. Black cod with wasabi mashed potatoes was delicious. Fabulous service and solid cocktails.

Wonderful view of the sunset and Friday night fireworks. Our waiter, David, took excellent care of us, even providing a beautiful anniversary desert. Our coconut margaritas were to die for. Our entrees were delicious but could have been a little larger. We enjoyed ourselves very much and will be back the next time we visit beautiful Waikiki.

Food, ambiance, and service were great. It was a small hidden gem in a hotel within walking distance from where we stayed. Will definitely head back again the next time I'm in Waikiki.

Overall, I had a really great experience. This restaurant is located in the Trump hotel and they do validated valet parking. The food was amazing. My favorite has to be the smoked fish dip with the taro chips. I had to stop myself because we were sharing this dish but I couldn't stop eating it. The Japanese bread was super soft. The gyoza was pretty tasty. I enjoyed the sushi that I got as well. Overall, I enjoyed everything I ordered. The service here was also amazing. Everything was quick and our server was super friendly. We all had a great time!

On the right is the practically glowing, glistening 10 piece sushi omakase, presented on this really nice wooden serving plate last time I was at Wai'olu. On the left is the same order recently. Twenty bucks more. Notice any difference? Does the sushi look as good? Where's my cool wooden plate? Not impressed.

The food, meh! Could use some serious shoyu ir salt or summmting. Lol. Fries were good. Tried the poke nachos on another say, that was good. Ramen was good but lacking flavor that umami flavor you know what I mean . Beautiful presentation. Service, phew. Kinda slow for like not being so packed. The waitress charged my credit card $20 over but corrected it. I think I was more annoyed that it was taking forever to get the bill and that food seemed long to get to us. But whatevaaaa on vacation, so I guess we shouldn't rush or something? Banana coconut pudding , no thank you: lol. She said it was good. Nah don't get it. Not my style . Restaurant located inside trump hotel. I like the view and the fact that they have a bar.

Another great experience here. The service was excellent, the host even called the hotel of the Friday Fireworks show to see if it was still going to happen as it was running late. Daniel did a great job, he was very kind, knowledgeable, and informative. Sushi was fresh and perfectly presented. Steak was cooked to perfection. Can't beat the view of Waikiki city lights plus the perfect view of the Fireworks show.

Delicious food, great service and beautiful views. Perfect place for our client business meeting.

So this menu has changed since this property went from a Trump to Ka La'i. And I think it's even better.The mai tai here might be the best I've had on the island, and I have had an embarrassingly high number of mai tais. Also had the lovely martini, I believe named after the restaurant itself, which was so light and fresh.We came for happy hour a few times, and mostly had the lighter bites. The poke nachos are wonderful, the tuna tataki is really delicious, the fries with tobiko I still think about. They are simply so good!Service is amazing, and they have live music at happy hour too which creates a really peaceful vibe. We stayed in the hotel, and found this to be our launching point for many evenings before we strolled around Waikiki.
