Moani Island Bistro - Kapolei

The live music was fantastic, and the food was amazing! My wife and I came here on our first night back home in 3 years and even got to meet my favorite artist from Hawaii, Caleb from the Green band. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Moani family, for such a great night.

I am reviewing the takeout dish we ordered, which was the whole fried fish. Unfortunately, it was undercooked in the center. However, this restaurant seems to be a popular hangout spot on weekends. It was lively and had a great atmosphere, with many people enjoying their meals.

Visiting the island and I?m so happy a local recommended Moani. Live music. Friendly staff. We had a couple of different visits to make sure our meal was good. We ordered Boa Burgers, Calamari and the Ahi Nachos. Every single bite of food was a party in our mouths. Seriously. Absolutely delicious. If you?re in the area, do not miss out on this culinary experience.

During our walk to the movies, we stumbled upon this restaurant where we heard live music playing. Intrigued, we decided to stop in for some drinks and appetizers. We were impressed by the generous portions and tasty dishes. We chose sliders and the hoisin pork belly, both filled with local flavors and perfect for sharing. Although we didn't try any entrees, our server mentioned that they are served family style and are ideal for sharing. This restaurant is perfect for both small and large groups, especially for those who enjoy trying a variety of dishes.

Definitely recommend Moani for brunch. I went around 12 and was seated right away at the bar. Service was prompt and courteous, and even other servers seemed attentive overall. Food was delicious, and I will absolutely be going again. The papaya was ripe and fresh. I believe it could have had a little more yogurt, but probably personal preference. Crab Cake Bene was cheaper than an omelette at the IHOP near me. I prefer crab cakes with some sort of a lemon sauce, but again,
