Mahi ‘ai Table - Kapolei, Hawaii

Alex B.

Dinner for two. Hostess was friendly, as was our server and other staff - 3* for service was because we only saw our server three times in the hour+ we were there - and not at our table, but out on the floor? All this to say the friendliness was not enough to overcome the average service. Food was great though, and the ambiance above average, especially considering the restaurant is in a grocery store. We likely go back and comfortable recommending it as a place for a nice meal in Kapolei, where solid choices are limited. Also a shoutout for the local live music, the duo there our night were great!

Scallion flat bread was subtle and delicious. We got the crispy chicken confit and it was so tender, the chicken skin was glazed with delicious sauce. The fresh catch was so juicy and cooked perfectly, seasoned very well. Veggies came in crunchy, pleasant texture. Everything is so well priced and came in great portions. We went here for dinner on a Friday and there was lovely live music. Service was quick and everyone was so friendly. Lots of free parking! They take cards for payment. No outdoor area. Reservation is needed as it gets crowded during peak hours.

Finally tried this place out and it was for a restaurant week!

Off their $32 prix fixe menu we got the…
Lechon style Brussels and steamed shrimp and pork wontons for appetizers.

Crispy confit chicken and braised short rib for the entrée. We had to substitute plain white rice for the Hamakua Farms aliʻi mushroom congee, hon shimeji mushrooms under the braised short rib.

Kulolo Haupia Sundae and Lilikoi crème brûlée for dessert.

All dishes were delicious but they came out slowly. Service was good, guys were removing our plates and gave us a to go box.

The live music was nice for our diner date.

Great food, great service, and the live music was awesome. That dude was really good. The Smoked Meat Mac and Cheese blew my mind, but the Whole Fish catch of the day was OH so good.

The food was very good and delicious. The scallion bread, fries, ribs, and Brussel sprouts were great starters. The Adobo and burger were also good.
Poke was room temp and not a fan. The salt and pepper shrimp was decent, but rice wasn't great.

Service was great. Hannah was attentively and friendly. Everyone was friendly. They constantly cleaned the tables.

Awesome live music, but a little loud. The restaurant was very cold as well.

Entrees took over an hour to come during the dinner rush so that could be improved.

Overall, very good restaurant. Food and service were good. I'd recommend checking it out and I'd go back to eat there again !

While the food was undeniably outstanding—the butterfish melting in our mouths and the steak grilled to absolute perfection—our dining experience was unfortunately marred by subpar service. Our server was inattentive, rarely checking on us, and the wait for our entrees stretched beyond an unreasonable 35 minutes. Furthermore, our request for the appetizer to be served concurrently with our meal was clearly overlooked. It finally arrived as we were nearly finished, a disappointing oversight. This lackluster service ultimately led us to forgo dessert.

Such a good local place for delicious food! If you go at the right time during the week, for Happy Hour, they have live music which adds such a cool and energetic environment.
The food and drink is so so good, you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. A must visit!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Cobb Salad with Furikake Salmon! The greens were so fresh! It even tasted great the next day.
The French Fries were a bit of a let down as at least 1/3 of them were just bits & pieces, not full fries and mostly just potato skins.
The Latte was delicious! Our Server was very nice and attentive. Overall, it's a nice restaurant.
