Restaurants near Hookena Beach Park

It was our first time at the Fish Hopper Restaurant. Parking can be an issue as the lot is very small considering the number of seats inside. It was fun watching the people on the street and the activity in the water (swimmer, boats, etc.). Once in a while a vehicle went by blasting music, but hey, that is life on Ali,i Drive. Overall, we liked it and will be back at some point (too many other places we want to try).

Most of the food was good, but not great. Fresh / real wasabi is a nice touch. It felt a bit like a Japanese restaurant trying to cater to American tastes (which could be a positive or a negative depending on what you’re seeking). Our biggest issue was confusion with the menu. The menu at the restaurant didn’t match the online menu, we received two different menus at our table (half of which were outdated), then several of the drinks listed on the latest menu were not available.

Surprisingly good fish and lovely views with excellent service. Looked like a tourist trap but was super glad we went.

Brunch buffet was delicious. We will definitely be back the next time we visit!

Amazing waitstaff coffee and breakfast items. If you order pancakes the plan on sharing them. Lots of food.
