★★★★★ 5.0 Steve Fisher · Jan 2026

Stayed at the Grand Naniloa for a few days and this place is great. Raquel served us twice and she was terrific. Food was delicious and prepared well. Nothing I would not recommend that I tried. We did “dim sum” style dinner and late night fare. Poke Tacos and Fried Brussel sprouts were our favorite. Live music was also nice and the atmosphere is amazing.

We dined tonight as 2. Our server was Kayne. His service was efficient, personable, and professional. We each ordered the catch of the day which was delicious and something we would expect at a finer dining restaurant. The location and view are exceptional minus the poor weather tonight. We enjoyed our time there and would dine there again.

The food is a disaster. The shrimp in the dumplings is completely raw!!!! It is supposed to be cooked (comfirmed by the waiter). The waiter keeps making excuses when they know the shrimp is raw. Bad experience, do not recommend.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cijo Thomas · Jan 2026

Great food and reasonably priced. The catch of the day is a must try. The kids menu also has fresh fish, and the portion size for kids is pretty big. Only valet parking, validated at the restaurant.

★★★★★ 5.0 Edward Court · Apr 2025

Five stars across the board for Ka Lihikai Restaurant and Bar. The atmosphere was absolutely incredible, laid back, welcoming, and full of good vibes. But the real highlight of my visit was Nicole behind the bar. Her service was phenomenal, and she made me hands down the best Bloody Mary I’ve ever had. It was perfectly balanced and topped with the most amazing garnishes, including a huge shrimp that was out of this world. Nicole made me feel like the number one customer from the moment I walked in. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend!
