Such a great dinner buffet!!! I highly recommend! The service was great! Refills on drinks were spot on. The food was so good. My favorite was the chicken, kimchi carbonara, crab legs, clam chowder, cream puffs & fruit tarts!! It is beach view!! It's so beautiful! Perfect for special occasions! I give it an overall 10/10! I will be coming back!

Amazing food and service with a beautiful view of the ocean too! We enjoyed Friday buffet with an abundance of seafood including snow crab legs, shrimp, and sushi. The snow crabs were a good size and served with butter, the shrimp was shell off with cocktail sauce and the sushi was incredible with ahi, shrimp, salmon, Inari, futomaki, etc. The desserts were great too! I tasted almost all the desserts and was told I also needed to try the bread pudding that was the best I ever had. The price is hefty, but what you get and the beautiful views and service were worth it.

I've been thinking about staying at the Kahala Resort to start my trip back home to O'ahu. I did a test drive at the bar at Plumeria, the all day dining option at the resort. We shared the fried ahi poke musubi, and I had the sig mai tai. First of all, the musubi was real creative. It had fresh ogo (limu), and a garlic/ginger creamy sauce. The crunchy outside contrasted nicely with the fresh ahi inside. Secondarily, the mai tai is in the Top 3 I have had in the islands (the other two being the Moana and the Royal). It was not overly sweet, and it packed a punch. I was feeling the effects of the drink after one. Regarding the ambiance, its big here. Plumeria has a breakfast buffet, and a dinner buffet on certain evenings. Steve, our bartender treated us with a lot of Aloha. We really felt at home here. I need to add the Kahala to where I stay on O'ahu. It is quiet and secluded, unlike the hustle & bustle of Waikīkī.

Well what can I say, I love a good breakfast buffet Went with my wife to celebrate a just because day. The brekky buffet at the Kahala hotel is pretty decent. It does what a breakfast buffet should: provide a wide variety of food in an acceptable quality, and in endless amounts. The selection of food is pretty broad, with included local dishes adding to the lineup (the fish, malasadas, etc) with things that regular buffets lack. Overall the food tasted good, even if it was occasionally over done or, like the fish, a little dry. I wish we had steak knives for the prime rib. But again, it was all delicious. And they had a selection of bacon cooked from soft to crunchy, which is VERY important for a bacon fiend like me. And the omelette bar chef was fire. He also worked the carving station and gave my wife half a cow because she said I was gonna finish it . The buffet included a lot of local fruits and a selection of juices (including guava) and coffee/tea. Past that, they do have a full bar...so Irish coffee or a mimosa are available to add-on for sure. Ambience is nice, but the outdoors seating fills fast. And the indoor/outdoor vibe meant we had one persistent fly around us. But I named him bob and let him have some waffle...so he was cool after that. Casual wear is recommended, especially on a hot day. Face it, no one wants to dress up for breakfast anyways. Pack your swim stuffs and you can go to the beach outside even. The price for us was $55 a person. Kinda middle high for a buffet here (Korean BBQ all-you-can-eat are usually the $35 range here). But I must mention this is VERY GOOD for the Kahala hotel. Their ala carte breakfast menu, while upscale and cooked perfectly I'm sure, is pricey. A lot of breakfast plates are in the $40 range, so comparatively the buffet is a decent deal. Even with a couple of $18 mimosas. There is technically a 2 hour time limit, although no one on staff mentioned it to us at all. They do close down the buffet service at like 11 or 11:30, so probably better to get a little earlier reservation if you want to camp out there. We booked for 10 and were perfectly fine. Parking without validation can be Waikiki hotel ridiculous, so don't forget. Overall would definitely do again.

Was so excited be invited to the Kahala for a late Christmas Eve dinner with my family. The atmosphere was so beautiful, tons of beautiful decorations and a huge Christmas tree right in the lobby of the hotel. We were a little early for our reservation so they didn't have our table ready yet so we went to look at the dolphins in the dark lol. We could still see them but I didn't get any good pics. The server and I think one of the managers that was checking on us was so nice, honestly one of best experiences I've had at a buffet. Normally buffets just seat you and forget about you. Sushi quality was excellent for buffet style and they had crab legs and other yummy food options but I just went for the sushi and poke mostly haha. My uncle said he wants to make this an annual event, I'm so ready for next year!

The ambience here is so peaceful with views overlooking the beach and their service makes you feel pampered. The food though is average with high hotel prices. The Kahala Saimin was pretty good, it had the standard assortment of pork belly, egg, bamboo shoots, and bean sprouts. It was served warm. Also ordered the chicken sandwich. It was basically an upgraded chicken tender with all the sandwich fixings and choice of fries or salad. The chipotle aioli (not spicy) for some reason made me content with the sandwich it was. Hot tea (tea packet) was $7 and came with lemon/honey and additional hot water, iced tea was $8 and refillable. They validate 4 hours complimentary self parking.

If you're looking for a nice breakfast or lunch over looking the beach with fresh air and a relaxing atmosphere, reserve a table at the Plumeria Beach House at the Kahala Hotel. They have valet or self parking. I'll take my 1934 sedan and the valet let me park it out front. For this I tip them well. The food is excellent and the service is top notch. I don't know much to say about this place but it's class from the time you drive up to the valet to get seated at your table. You can take your time eating and just enjoy a really good meal and a beautiful scenery. Take a friend from the mainland or make it a day with your friends and reserve a day at their spa after your meal. Enjoy the finer things in life!

We stopped for a quick lunch. Service was excellent. So was the food. Anywhere in the restaurant is pretty much oceanfront so it was very relaxing. Parking lot was full so we parked with valet. Restaurant fully validated the parking so just prepare tip for the valet. It was all good.
