Mahina & Sun’s

Hated to be cut the rating but three of our fairly large party got sick hours after eating here. Which is a shame since most of the dishes were fine! My nephew enjoyed the pizza the most. The hostess and the waitress were great, providing us with tons of service. Most of us had the raw oysters, and most of us did not get sick, but the oysters were flown in from Washington State so it's not local. I suspect that we were sitting in the hotel lobby which had an indoor pool, which at dinner was a nice touch since it provided us with a semblance of someone's backyard patio.

Chance upon this place after a recommendation by a hotel staff nearby. The ambience is awesome with live music at the pool side. Didn't expect to find this gem. The food was nice especially the Banana Pudding. I ordered after I saw earlier post mentioning abt this pudding. Overall satisfy with what I got tonight 😋

Mahina & Suns was the last dinner reservation I made during my time in Honolulu. I chose the restaurant because of its name and authentic cuisine. It was worth the visit and my server Allison was the BEST! Originally from Hawaii, Allison was able to share in depth about the culture, the food and that was a plus on top of what was already exceptional service. I got the family feast and it was worth it! I was even surprised with coconut sorbet as we sang happy birthday to me! Whenever I make it back to Hawaii I’ll be at Mahina & Suns and I hope Allison is there too.

Nice setting with music and dining under the stars (if sitting outside). We tried the family feast (red snapper) and Margherita pizza. The fish was fried nicely and some of the sides were great. A little over priced.

Had a nice meal here last night. I got the Cavatelli pasta dish for dinner. It was a good portion and taste. The right amount of everything in the dish. The Limonata juice and it was tasty. The only drawback is 75% of the glass is like ice. Tasty but wish more juice was in the glass. The Uala Cheesecake was light and tasty. Glad to see they did have a dessert option at the restaurant.

I recently vacationed during the summer here in Hawaii and on the second part of my trip popped in here and stayed in a nearby hotel within walking distance right there on Wakiki Beach. 🏖️ On my last night in town, I just happened to randomly walk in here on my last night in the island after reading some nice reviews and boy am I so glad that I did. The restaurant was pretty busy that evening, but it didn't affect the cool, chill and laid back vibe with a very friendly greeting and pretty island music in the background that was playing live in the back near the pool. Since they were busy the manager helped out almost the whole time and kept checking up on me to make sure that I was okay. I had the oysters with a beautiful glass of soft Sauvignon Blanc wine for starters and a colorful kale salad. The specialty fish of the day was prepared in a deliciously creamy sauce and seasoned perfectly, the Hawaiian mash sweet potatoes with the grilled asparagus, orange fish eggs was out of this world And the presentation with the bright pink flower plumeria brought a smile to me face. 🌺 (which I kind of needed that night after a stressful day of flying, traveling and hopping islands) Overall my experience was really quite wonderful here, with detail oriented service that was Not at all like experience in other places on the big island or in some other parts of Oahu where the service was seriously lacking or non-existent. I had incredible service and amazing food here all across the board. Both the service and especially the food were on point that particular night and finely executed. If I am ever traveling back to Oahu and staying on or near Wakiki Beach again, I will definitely re-visit for a unique dining experience here just for the food alone, but the service was what made it even better. I very Highly recommend this place!

Checked this place out for restaurant week. This is a chill location to grab a bite to eat and enjoy some tasty drinks. They make their own lilikoi syrup as well. The ambience and customer service are on point but the food and drinks will have you coming back.

Mahina & Sun's truly delivers a one-of-a-kind dining experience, blending a chic and relaxed atmosphere with locally-inspired dishes that make for an unforgettable meal. The restaurant, tucked within our hotel, is the perfect spot to wind down and embrace the spirit of Hawaii. With a warm, inviting ambiance and live music, Mahina & Sun's creates an intimate yet vibrant vibe that sets the tone for a delightful first night on the island. As we dined, we felt like we’d stumbled into a gem, a place that seamlessly combines fresh island ingredients with culinary innovation. For our meal, we decided for the Handmade Cavatelli Bolognese, and it was nothing short of exceptional. The pasta, tender and perfectly textured, was clearly made in-house, capturing the essence of handmade quality. The Bolognese sauce, a harmonious blend of beef, pork, and tomato, was rich and full-bodied, coating each piece of cavatelli with savory perfection. The flavors were masterfully balanced, with the meatiness of the beef and pork enhanced by the acidity of the tomatoes, creating a comforting and flavorful bite every time. A generous sprinkling of fresh Parmesan added a final touch, its salty sharpness complementing the dish beautifully. Dining here on our first evening in Hawaii was the perfect way to ease into our stay, allowing us to relax and savor a truly delicious meal without venturing far from our room. Mahina & Sun's has certainly set a high bar for the rest of our culinary adventures on the island!
