    This is a stunning location for a special occasion. For us, it was our 47th anniversary and the food did not disappoint. All you can eat crab and lobster tails (though you must order the lobster tails through the wait staff). The freshest seafood arrayed as both sushi and sashimi. Their carving station is a little hidden but they have fantastic roast pork and beef behind the tall counter. Excellent array of shrimp and vegetable tempura as well. Pricey, but an outstanding experience.

    Our server Duane was so attentive to our needs. I love the ample selection of food and the food was great. I wish the eggs benedict was smaller because one piece is already filling; no more space for other selections. I recommend this place for special occasions because it’s pricey.

    I requested window seat with view for my husband’s birthday. I understand it’s just request, not confirmation. But it wasn’t busy and our table is next to the wall with counter table that waiters place used plates. We wish they could consider better table.

    I've heard many great things about Hoku's, and it was our first time here. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was beautiful. We were greeted right away by the hostess, who was most pleasant, and our server was Duane, and he was very attentive to our needs. We will definitely be back. Mahalo Hoku's for making our first time memorable. Aloha, Lei & Kamai
