I’ve made this reservation to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday at 5:15 PM in order to see the sunset in the ocean. We’ve been a little bit late for the reservation, but two ladies worked at Hau Tree were very nice and helpful. We were sitting in the Oceanside view for the dinner. The sunset in front of Hau Tree was so beautiful and amazing. Jordan was our server who was so kind and helpful. We ordered crispy Spanish octopus, pawn pasta and local fish. Food was amazing and so delicious. They gave us a little desert as a birthday surprise! Excellent food, beautiful ocean view and great customer service from Hau Tree! Recommend to everyone! It is a must try in Honolulu!

Best overall value and Edomae/Tokyo-style sushi in the Pacific!! The assorted sashimi plate for two under $40 is a steal!! My fav Nippon brew, Asahi Super Dry, on tap…….plus a healthy variety of sakes and shochus for those that prefer moonshine!! Easy ordering using the table tablet. Super friendly service by the floor staff and the most skilled and experienced Japanese chefs working hard behind the bar. What more can you ask for??
