This Month’s Recommendation (updated monthly)
Ezo Abalone from the cold waters of Hokkaido
Small in size yet firm in texture, offering a pleasantly crisp bite and a rich aroma of the sea.
Served as tempura, finished with truffle salt to enhance its natural sweetness and deep umami flavor.
Surprisingly tender and deeply luxurious, this seasonal delicacy showcases the pure blessings of nature — a truly special dish to savor.

- EEmmaLondon •9 reviews5.0Dined on 10 Sept 2026Came here as a recommendation from YouTuber Jaycation and so glad we did. I am slightly hard of hearing and she was softly spoken but I believe our hostess was Chrissy. She was kind and friendly and explained dishes to us when we asked questions. Overall, if we had time we would have gone back, but definitely will recommend. Food and drinks were great. We did pop in at lunchtime to make sure we knew where it was for the evening and the barman was friendly too, training a new guy who made our Mango #5 perfectly.More infoMahina and Sun's - Surfjack Hotel$$$$• Hawaiian Regional• Waikiki•4.6
- RRussellGoldLas Vegas •27 reviews5.0Dined on 10 Sept 2026We decided to order 3 apps for the two of us and share an entree and dessert. Poke nachos, boiled egg with ikura and smoke meat, and blackened ahi. All three were delicious. Shared the rib eye with mashed potatoes and bone marrow. Ended the dinner with the shaved ice with fresh strawberries and pistachios. Will definitely return again soon.More infoSolera$$$$• Hawaiian Regional• Waikiki•4.5
- KKathrynGold5 reviews5.0Dined on 29 Aug 2026Favorite Son at the Ambassador Waikiki hosted an awesome culinary event on 08/28/2026 titled Grapes vs Grain. A four course menu was prepped with wine and beer being paired with each dish to see which paired better with the meal. Each pairing was thoughtfully done to ensure the flavors were really brought out to complement each dish. This was my first visit to Favorite Son but it surely won't be my last. The staff were very friendly throughout the evening and both the chef and general manager came around to thank us for coming out and participating and discussed future possible events. The hotel provides valet parking when visiting the restaurant and validates the parking as well. The event was held outdoors and it was a great breezy night. There's indoor seating and a bar as well when wanting to come visit Favorite Son. Highly enjoyed my evening and would love to go back!More infoFavorite Son at the Ambassador Hotel Waikiki by Hilton Tapestry$$$$• Hawaiian Regional• Waikiki•3.6

Poke, poi, lomi-lomi–colorful luau dishes endure as the shining staples of Hawaiian dining. But that doesn’t mean there’s not a panoply of dining options to spark your appetite. When you need to escape the high noon sun, shaved ice shops are plentiful. And if you’re craving something light, afternoon tea service is artful eating at its best. Bean-to-bar chocolate is growing in popularity with the fertile soils of the Aina offering just the right conditions for cocoa plants to thrive. Whether it’s resort-style dining or casual cantina bites you’re after, when made with the spirit of Aloha, you’ll taste it.
