Excellent food, service and great table too. Actually we have never had a bad meal at Hula Grill. The fish and preparation is delicious. Hula Pie is a must. Can be easily shared by 3-4 people.

We sat in the large patio area outside. It was very pleasant, with balmy weather and light trade winds, and we liked the live music (a solo guitarist/singer). We ordered from the Happy Hour menu and the food and drinks were inexpensive. Even though the restaurant was busy we were served quickly. My friend ordered the local shrimp and chips and I had the tempura fish and chips. Our waitress brought us a small glass of Prosecco (no charge) before our meal arrived. The food was delicious and well prepared. The coating on the seafood was light and crispy (not greasy). The service was excellent. Shout outs to our pleasant and friendly waitress Mahina and to the host Kody. We liked the restaurant so much we came back for dessert the same evening after we attended a music event!

One of the best meals ever. My wife and I were celebrating our anniversary together and I reserved a table for us at the original Roy’s. We were treated extremely well n our waiter was exceptionally nice and friendly. We started with a pair of Hawaii martini’s. Excellent! We then split the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. We then ordered the trio fish plate that we just fell in love with. To cap it off we had the upside down pineapple cake. Overall just an amazing dinner! Highly recommend this place!!

The food presentation and taste was very good! The service was also good except the main course took a little longer than expected. They seemed to be short handed. I highly recommend Wai Olu!
