    Pick this spot to meet up with friends from out of town and I wanted to find a hidden spot in Waikiki. Glad I stumble on Aloha Table. Location is central Waikiki and there was 4-hour validated parking at nearby Hyatt Centric. It was a great, quaint place to catch up with a nice outdoor seating area. Food was good and staff was friendly & attentive. Will have to come back to this spot soon.

    We were there to celebrate our anniversary and we were greeted with well wishes. Our server, Brandon used our name, which is something I truly believe is incredibly professional. He then explained the menu and their options. When asked, he recommended cocktails, and gave us his opinion on The menu choices for the four course dinner we each selected. He read our table and understood. We were not in a rush, but they are to enjoy a dining experience so our courcess came out paced accordingly. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and a great dining experience with excellent food great service and a wonderful way to spend our 20th anniversary.

    Wasabi Bistro is discreetly tucked away inside The Breakers hotel. Was greeted by one of the staff at the entrance of the hotel. All of the staff was outstanding during our dining. Ordered two of their signature dishes: the Baked Scallop Special and the Papaya Seafood Motoyaki, which were both excellent! Looking forward to my next trip to Waikiki so I can make a return visit to Wasabi Bistro.
