Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Mud Hen Water is a vibrant local gem offering innovative Hawaiian-Asian fusion cuisine. Guests rave about the "consistently amazing" food and "outstanding" service. The communal dining experience is likened to an "urban lūʻau," and the cocktails are both "inventive" and refreshing. A must-visit for unique, flavorful dishes!

The family style for 4 was superb -so many flavors and we liked everything! Reasonably priced. The servers were excellent, fun & friendly. Only discomfort was the noise level-inside, towards the back table. We had to practically yell to have a good conversation. Dinner was at 6:15 pm. I’d ask to be outside next time. Looking forward to eating there again.

We went early for a pre theater dinner. Vishnu’s Vice, a cocktail, paired perfectly with the Kahala crudo, He’e roll, venison ragu and veal meatballs that our group enjoyed. Everything was delicious!
