Best Restaurants for Foodies in Kalihi-Palama

Gotta love Moju Kitchen! The food is fresh and the cocktails are potent. We’ve never had a bad experience at this restaurant. Their happy hour is good and you should take advantage of it before the big rushes. The food tag is a little higher than average but it’s worth knowing it always come out perfect. And besides, if you live in Honolulu and you want perfect food, great cocktails, and live music, you’re gonna pay a little extra knowing it will be worth it. Staff has always been friendly and we like the options of both indoor and outdoor seating. We will be back!

This place is simply amazing. Our waitress was so sweet. She was so knowledgeable about all menu items. We have been meaning to try this place for a while and never got a chance to. I saw their James Beard special on TV and finally got a chance ro try them last week. We just HAD to return again this week. They are just that good. We will keep returning again and again. Their Caesar salad dressing (as our waitress says) is DRINKABLE! SERIOUSLY! That thing is ridiculous!! The Kaua'i shrimp special (we may be a little biased) was so 'ono. The shrimp dish and risotto dish was so flavorful. Everything we ordered was just so mouth watering! Go, go, go, go,go!!! This place is a MUST visit. Worth the parking hassle. Lol. Find it on the street or st the end of the road in the paid parking lot.

Wow, where have I been? This is a great, high quality, friendly, tasty, comfortable place to eat. The organic chicken in cast iron was one of the best chicken meals I’ve ever eaten in my life. It reminded me of the chicken at a chain restaurant in Japan called Ajitoya. The Beet salad was one of the first salads I’ve eaten that wasn’t overwhelming with one particular item. Even if you don’t like beets, there is enough of other flavors to fall in love with. It has the perfect mix of flavors that work well together. Chocolate Purse for dessert? Don’t bother sharing, get your own…lol. Only small complaint would be it’s a tad bit on the pricier side, but my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Our server was great, and you really get a sense that the entire staff that works here, works well together. Lots of smiling faces and cohesiveness from the team. I even saw the hostess walking around helping servers to fill up water. This is a top 5 restaurant in the entire Ward/ Waikiki area, don’t hesitate to go, you will enjoy it very much.

Our reservation was last minute - after the UH football game. We needed someplace to lick our wounds!! Very happy to get a table at Lucky Belly! Onolicious food! I wanna go back to taste more!

Service and support were fantastic! Thank you to the team working last night we had a great experience
