    My husband and I went for Sunday brunch to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. It's was our first time going to Hoku's. We had a window seating overlooking the ocean. It was very beautiful. The food and service were excellent. Our server was the best. She was very attentive with the most beautiful smile. We will most definitely come back again.

    The dinner was delicious. I had Putenesca pasta and it was the very best I’ve had at a restaurant. Everything we had was great. And our server Ken was so nice and gave us great service. Very impressed by this place coming from a huge family of Italian cooks.

    Our Macadamia Nut crusted Mahimahi was very tasty! The beet/mixed green salad was also very good! Biscuits fresh and buttery. The only downside was that the host at the door never smiled once at us, even when we first arrived. In fact, he looked annoyed that I asked to be seated inside the restaurant after initially reserving an outdoor table. He checked his seating chart and instead of telling us that it was possible to be seated indoors, he didn't say a word. He just had another person lead us to the table which to my pleasant surprise, was indoors. You don't want a person at the front entrance greeting you the way he did. Makes you wonder what kind of service you will receive for the rest of the night

    Chef is creative and kind. This comes across on the plate. They should rename to Snapper because that fish was top 5 ever. Nice ties to Japanese cuisine while using Hawaiian ingredients. The smoking cocktail was very good.

    Servers were knowledgeable and helpful in directing our choices. The ambience was beautiful: romantic, quiet and chic. The drinks were deliciously crafted and our appetizer, two entrees and dessert were to die for. Really, we cannot recommend enough. For being in the Waikiki area, this was one of the more reasonably priced restaurants and by far our favorite.
