All Reviews for Food & Dining Experiences

Authentic and warm. Food was also excellent. Location was great

The show was entertaining and the Chief is so funny!!!

I arrived at the meeting time, but I had to wait there for about 30 minutes. I wasn't expecting much from the meal, but it was tastier than I thought. The luau was impressive and enjoyable.

集合時間に行ったが、そこで30分ほど待たされた。食事はあまり期待していなかったけれど、思ったより美味しく食べられた、ルアウは迫力ががあって良かった。

Fabulous show, chief was hilarious as always, and the family loved it! Will come back again!

Took my mom as she shares her bday with elvis, so we had to go all out! the rew treated us like ohana, thank you so much!!

Great way to start the year, we wish we were back in Hawaii listening to the wonderful local music!

really wonderful and personal tour, the horses are well cared for and loved!

I saw a real Hawaiian show for the first time. It was definitely more powerful than watching it on TV, and I was glad to see the impersonation show as well.

初めて本場ハワイアンショーを見ました。
やはりテレビで見るより，迫力満点で、モノマネショーも見れたのが良かったです。

After the boat departed, we started with snorkeling at a specific point, and then we went out to sea for dolphin watching. The snorkeling time felt long, but for dolphin watching, it was like, "Is this it? Are we going back already?" We did see wild dolphins, but it was during their sleeping time, and it felt too short (laughs). I wonder if we were there for even 10 minutes... It was disappointing. The staff were very nice and made us feel at ease, so it's a shame.

船出発後、ポイント的にシュノーケリングが先でその後沖に出てドルフィンウォッチングしました。シュノーケリング時間は長く感じたのですが、ドルフィンウォッチングはえ、これで終わり？もう帰るの？という感じ。野生のドルフィンは見れてちょうど寝てる時間でしたが、短すぎる(笑)10分もいたかな、、、って感じです。期待はずれ。スタッフの方達はとても良い人たちで安心感もあったので残念です。

First of all, the rich experience is amazing! Since it's a hotel in Waikiki, it's easy to walk back after your stay. When we arrived, we were greeted in Japanese and given flower leis before the buffet started. During the meal, there was a hula dance show, which was a lot of fun. The buffet was delicious, and the desserts were also tasty, so I was very satisfied. Additionally, towards the end of the buffet, they offered a short hula dance lesson, which everyone enjoyed, and it was really great.

The main show was very luxurious, and I was entertained from start to finish without getting bored. In particular, the fire performance was breathtaking. I want to see it again the next time I come. At the end of the show, there was a photo opportunity with the performers, allowing us to take a two-shot, which became a wonderful memory! I definitely want to go again.

まず、リッチが最高です！ワイキキのホテルだと徒歩で行けるので帰りも楽です。
着いたら日本語で受付をしていただき、お花の首飾りをかけてもらってからビュッフェが始まります。ご飯中もフラダンスのショーがあり、楽しかったです。ビュッフェは味も美味しく、デザートも美味しかったので満足でした。また、ビュッフェの終盤には短時間でフラダンスレッスンをしてくださり、参加者みんなで楽しめてとてもよかったです。
本番のショーはとても贅沢で、最初から最後まで飽きることなく楽しめました。
特に、火を使うパフォーマンスは圧巻でした。次に来た時も見に行きたいと思いました。ショーの終わりには、パフォーマーの方との写真撮影タイムがあり、ツーショットを撮れるので思い出になりました！
また行きたいです。

I love the experience and the food is very good, the show was amazing

The poolside terrace has a relaxed open space feel, with a pleasant breeze, making it a great place to enjoy a meal. After the salad, the main dish is served, and you can choose from three options. One friend and I chose the loco moco, while another friend opted for the seafood tacos, and both were quite filling! The loco moco had two hamburger patties stacked, and the tacos were packed with plenty of vegetables and fish fillets, making them very satisfying. The dessert ice cream was also delicious. For drinks, you can choose between iced or hot coffee and tea, as well as draft beer, which is great for those who enjoy alcohol. We had a delicious and enjoyable meal.

オープンスペースでラフな感じのプールサイドのテラスなので、風も心地よく、寛いで食事が出来ます。サラダの後にメインデッシュが出ますが、3つの中から選べるので、私と友人一人はロコモコを、もう一人の友人はシーフードタコスを選びましたが、どちらもボリュームたっぷり！ロコモコはハンバーグが2枚重なっており、タコスは野菜たっぷりに魚の切り身が挟んであり、いずれも食べ応えがありました。デザートのアイスクリームも美味しかったです。ドリンクもコーヒー、紅茶はアイスかホット、またドラフトビールも選べるので、アルコール好きには嬉しい限りです。
美味しく楽しく頂きました。

The venue is located on the 4th floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center, conveniently situated in the heart of Honolulu. Upon checking in, I was greeted with a lei service. First, there was a meal time, which included a Mai Tai cocktail and one drink of your choice. The meal was served buffet-style in order after being guided to our seats. During the meal, there was hula dancing, but I could only see the dancers from behind. I wanted to have dessert, but before I knew it, a ukulele performance started nearby (though it wasn't very good), and there was a request for a $10 tip. It was unfortunate that the meal time ended so hurriedly.

However, after moving to the second half of the showtime venue, the VIP treatment made me feel fantastic! I had a central seat right in front of the stage. The beautiful dancers performed hula, and the host and singer resembled Rumiko Koyanagi. The performances of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson were so convincing that it felt like I was watching the real stars. I had a great time right in front of the stage. After leaving the venue, I even took photos with Michael and Elvis, creating wonderful memories.

The collaboration of rock and hula dancing was the best! This is a show I highly recommend if you come to Hawaii!

会場はロイヤルハワイアンセンターの4階にあり、ホノルル街の中央で便利な場所。受付をすると早速、レイのサービス。最初に食事の時間があり、マイタイカクテル＆好きなドリンク1杯がついていました。食事は案内されてから順番にバイキング形式。食事中はフラダンスをしていたが席からは後ろ姿しか見えなかった。デザートも食べたかったが、いつのまにか脇でウクレレ演奏が始まり(余り上手ではなかったのに）チップ10💲の催促。最後は食時間があわただしく終わってしまったのが残念。
が、食事タイム移動後、後半のショータイム会場のVIP 対応に気分は最高！ステージ目の前中央の席。美しいダンサー達のフラダンスや小柳ルミ子似の司会＆歌手。エルビスプレスリーやマイケルジャクソンもまるで本人達のショーかと思うほど演技と迫力。また目の前でとても楽しませてもらいました。会場を出てからマイケルやエルビスと写真も撮ったりと思い出になりました。
ロックとフラダンスのコラボレーション。最高でした！ハワイに来たらお勧めのショーです♪

Since it was our honeymoon trip, we used this restaurant on our last day in Hawaii.

Unfortunately, our seats were not by the window, but we were able to see the sunset beautifully! I felt like about 70% of the guests were Japanese.

When the staff members came over to take a photo of us, they kindly offered to take it for us.

I had made reservations for courses at other restaurants as well, and I was worried about whether I could finish the large portions, but it was just right! I also enjoyed escargot for the first time, and it was delicious.

This restaurant is perfect for a commemorative dinner.

ハネムーン旅行だったのでハワイ最終日に利用させていただきました。

席は残念ながら窓側ではありませんでしたが、サンセットはきれいに見れました！
7割ほどが日本人だったような気がします。

スタッフの方が2人で写真を撮ろうとすると声をかけてくださり撮ってくれました。

他のレストランでもコースを事前に予約したのですが、料理の量が多かったので食べ切れるか不安に思っていましたがちょうど良かったです！
初めてのエスカルゴも美味しくいただきました。

記念のディナーにふさわしいレストランです。

The weather that day was a surprising storm even for the locals, with the narrow streets of Waikiki flowing like rivers and fallen branches scattered about. At the Royal Hawaiian Center, escalators were stopping everywhere, and people were lining up for the elevators. There was even leaking rain inside the elevator, and we were worried about whether the buffet and show would take place, but as the time approached, the rain and wind calmed down, and the event was held. We were greeted with fresh flower leis and guided to a table waiting with pineapples, where we were asked if we wanted alcohol in our first drink, the Mai Tai. Since we would receive another drink later, we took a look at the menu. My husband and I chose the slightly sweet "Chichi" (white) with coconut and the "Polynesian Punch" (red) with multiple fruits like pineapple and orange, both with alcohol. Every dish was delicious, and the whole roasted pig was carved into cubes right in front of us; the skin was tasty, and we had some extra. The roast beef was very delicious with a rare texture. The show progressed with local singer Presley (impersonation), Michael (impersonation), and a Polynesian show, and even though we didn't understand the English, we had a great time. We weren't sure when to move to the show venue since we didn't understand English, so we looked around and moved. Although we moved around separately, the seating areas were determined by the plan, and within those areas, it was open seating, so if you want a better seat, I recommend moving early. After the show, we took photos with Michael and the performers and happily headed home.

この日の天候が、ロコも驚くような大嵐で、ワイキキの細い道は川のように水が流れ、折れた枝が道に落ちているような中、ロイヤル・ハワイアンセンターではエスカレーターがあちこちでストップし、エレベーターに人が並んでました。そのエレベーター内も雨漏りしておりビュッフェ＆ショーが開催されるか心配でしたが、時間が近づくと雨風が弱まり開催されました。生花のレイを首にかけていただき、パイナップルが待つテーブルに案内され、最初のドリンク「マイタイ」のアルコールありか無しかを聞かれます。後でもう１杯ドリンクがもらえるのでメニューをいただき、私たち夫婦は、ココナッツが少し甘い「チチ」（白）とパイナップルやオレンジなど、複数のフルーツが入った「ポリネシアンパンチ」（赤）を、アルコール入りでいただきました。食事はどれも美味しく、子豚の丸焼きは目の前でサイコロ状にさばき、皮が美味しく、追加でいただきました。ローストビーフは生な感じがとても美味しかったです。ショーはロコシンガー・プレスリー（ものまね）・マイケル（ものまね）・ポリネシアンショーとテンポよく進み、私たち夫婦は、英語は理解できませんが楽しかったです。ショーの会場に移るタイミングは、英語のわからない私たちにはわからないので、周りを見て移動しました。バラバラと移動しますが、プランによって会場内のエリアが決まっており、その中では自由席なので、より良い席に座りたい場合は、早めの移動をお勧めします。終了後、マイケルとショーの出演者たちと写真を撮っていただき楽しく帰りました。

This venue Is jam packed with things to do and see! Each village area representing an island of Polynesian was so informative and filled with fun activities. The students that perform are absolutely wonderful.
We were so impressed by the grand buffet, so much incredibly wonderful food.
The HA Breath of life performance was amazing! The driver of our bus that we went on told us that this show was one of the most authentic depictions of Polynesian culture on the whole island! I concur 100%

The staff is friendly and it's just so much fun!! You can enjoy it without any problems even if you don't understand English! The buffet has desserts in addition to the meals, and I was completely full. It was the best!

スタッフさんがフレンドリーでとにかく楽しい！！英語がわからなくても問題なく楽しめます！バイキングは食事以外にデザートもあって満腹になりました。フラ最高！

The performance was outstanding , they were engaging from the moment you walked in and out. The food taste good however was cold with exception to the pork and chicken thighs were hot, but sweet potatoes, noodles and rice were cold and we had Royal package and first in line to eat so I was surprised to have those few items cold, the rolls were so delicious so grab 2

We came for the show only and were pleasantly pleased with the performance! I especially enjoyed the “Is” section of showcasing his rise and what he means to the Hawaiian people as a whole. Still singing his recorded hit “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in my head. It was all very good. Elvis and Michael Jackson impersonators, the dancers…Hawaiian culture. Just great!! Don’t miss out!!

One of our favorite events of the week. Crew was funny and professional. Beach volleyball was super fun. We saw two turtles while snorkeling! Also wonderful that they have a free shuttle for dropoff and pickup

The friendly service from the staff was impressive. The food was also wonderful and delicious. Recently, due to age, there are times when I can't finish a course meal, but both my husband and I finished everything. We will definitely go again on our trip to Hawaii!

気持ちの良いスタッフの接客が印象的です。料理も素晴らしく美味しかったです。最近年齢とともにコース料理を食べきれない事があるのですが夫婦揃って完食しました。ハワイ旅行の際は必ず行きます！

It was cold since we left early in the morning. The bus had the air conditioning on, so it was a good decision to bring a long-sleeved shirt. The cruise was comfortable, and we were able to see sea turtles and whales. It was a pity we didn't see any dolphins, but it was great to see the whales since they are only available in winter!

朝早く出発だったので、寒かったです。
バスも冷房が効いていたので、長袖持っていって正解でした。
クルーズは快適、ウミガメと、クジラが見れました。
イルカは残念でしたが、クジラの方が冬限定なので、見れて良かったです！

I have to say I really enjoyed the Chief's Luau! After I got past the fact that it was situated in a water park, and got to the actual venue, I was able to forget there was anything there but the Luau! The grounds and setting were lovely, and I had a beautiful view of the show. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the entertainment some of the best I've seen at a luau, and I've been to several. For authentic entertainment and a good experience, this one was great!!

Wonderful time!! Beautiful view of Waikiki and sunset. Also a whale sighting.

This was my first luau and I really didn't know what to expect. I was greatly impressed with the quality of the program, the enthusiasm of the performers and the outstanding cuisine we enjoyed for the meal. The evening with the Toa Luau group was an unforgettable highlight to our visit to Hawaii. In addition to the luau, we had the opportunity to hike to the waterfall while enjoying the beauty of the botanical garden. As I said, the whole experience was unforgettable.

5/5 stars! The Polynesian Cultural Center Tour was a trip highlight! Well-organized, easy to follow, and bursting with energy. The setting was perfection!

The store was upscale, and the staff were kind and wonderful! The view was exceptionally beautiful and soothing. Since it was a special day, it became a lovely memory! The food was incredibly delicious! This was the best escargot I've ever had! I will definitely visit again when I come to Hawaii!

お店は高級もあり、店員さんも優しくて最高でした！
景色も抜群に綺麗で癒されました。
特別な日だったので素敵な思い出になりました！
料理も美味しすぎました！
こんなに美味しいエスカルゴは初めて！
ハワイに来たら必ずまた伺わせて頂きます！

It was authentic and highly entertaining, and my 6-year-old daughter was very happy. It was the best luau I've seen so far. I will go again next year. The food was not something to expect.

本格的でエンターテイメント性が高く、6歳の娘も非常に喜んでました。これまで見たルアウで1番良かったです。また来年も行きます。食事は期待できません。

As the name "Angel's Sea" suggests, the ocean is truly beautiful. The staff on the boat taught us about turtles and sea turtles, and they grilled hamburgers for us to enjoy on board, which was a unique experience that we don't usually get to have. It was so much fun!

天使の海の名の通り、海がほんとにきれい。船上のスタッフもカメ！とウミガメがいることを教えてくれたりハンバーグを焼いてくれて船上で食べるとかなかなか普段できない経験ができました☆楽しかった！

We booked this plan for our last dinner on our honeymoon in Hawaii!

I definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Hawaii.

First, we were guided to our seats as VIPs and received a welcome drink. You can choose between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, so everyone can enjoy it. Additionally, we received Hawaiian flower leis and hair accessories, which made us feel the essence of Hawaii right from the start.

The buffet was luxurious and quite filling, so it's best to go with an empty stomach!

During dinner, there was a hula dance show. There was a hula dance lesson before moving to the theater, but it coincided with the dessert buffet, so it was a bit disappointing that we couldn't enjoy dessert at a leisurely pace.

After that, the show was great, with both dance and singing being very satisfying. There were many songs I didn't know due to generational differences, but you can still enjoy it visually, so don't worry.

The guidance is primarily in English, but there are many Japanese people around, so you can feel at ease.

ハネムーンでハワイに来て最後の日の夕食にこのプランを予約しました！

ハワイに来た人にはぜひ参加して欲しいと思います。

まず、VIPで席に案内され、ウェルカムドリンクをいただきました。アルコール、ノンアル選べるので誰でも楽しめます。またハワイの花の首飾りや髪飾りももらえるので頭からハワイを感じられます。

ビュッフェの内容も豪華でかなりお腹いっぱいになるのでお腹は空かせて行った方が良いです笑

ご飯の際、フラダンスショーもあります。シアターへの移動前にフラダンスレッスンあるのですが、デザートビュッフェのタイミングと被っていたのであまりデザートをゆっくり食べれないのが残念ではありました。

そのあとショーにはありますが、ダンスも歌も大満足です。世代的に知らない歌が多かったですが、目で見ても楽しめるので安心してください。

案内は基本的には英語ですが、日本の方もたくさんいるので安心してください。
