Alan Wong’s Restaurant

4.5

About this business

Tucked away on the third floor of a nondescript office building in the Mo'ili'ili district is one of Honolulu's best restaurants. Celebrity chef Alan Wong marries fresh local ingredients with a solid French cooking foundation and spectacular, towering presentations. Wong likes to describe his cooking as "playful," and each dish has an element of surprise. An extensive wine list complements the menu.

Pacific Rim cuisine that's revered among food-worshipping circles. – In Short This huge, glass-terraced restaurant provides an almost mystical ambience, setting the stage for a cutting edge menu of Japanese, Hawaiian and American cuisine. Service is impeccable, and the open kitchen (inspired by Wolfgang Puck's Spago,) sends wafting scents of spicy flavors throughout the dining room. When it comes to his menu, which changes daily, Alan Wong goes out of his way to ensure that food is unique. Creative dishes feature fresh local... read more

Amazing service – The service at Alan Wong's was impeccable. Their rolls were delicious, and I really enjoyed The Coconut, their signature dessert.

You want to go the best restaurant in Hawaii - then go to Alan Wong's – Lived in Hawaii and was there when Alan Wong's opened. It is without a doubt the best of the best. There are so many things that we liked about the restaurant. Its out of the way place, its definitely different, its upstairs in a building that you would not think a restaurant is in. When you make your reservations they take your name and when you are seated the person who seats you and your waiter from then on uses your name. its like you have been comin... read more

Severely Disappointed – We entered this meal with much excitement, even spending time to construct our own tasting menu of six courses. What followed after we ordered however, only caused our collective bated breath to shift into sighs of despair. Each dish was cloyingly sweet obstructing all other flavors, which were assembled with no sense of balance. The execution was clumsy and overly complicated, with an end product not worthy of a James Beard award and certainly not a spot in-between Masa and Daniel on Gourmet's top 10... read more

Odd experience – This is supposed to be one of the premiere dining experiences in Honolulu. The location almost borders on bizarre and there is simply NOTHING special about the dining room or the service ware. The staff are very personable and make every effort to educate you to the various dishes which in my opinion are over done, over staged and a little off the mark in flavor combinations. This is an average fine dining experience that costs the same as a first rate dining experience in any other city in the US. Alan need... read more

Diverse menu, prompt service, good food – We ordered the 7 tasting menu. It consists of a shooter, sandwich and soup, beef tenderlion, abalone mushroom..etc. Overall, I liked most of their items. Everytime I was done with an item, they were quick to remove the dish and supplied me with new utensils. The dining room was small but had a nice, clean decor. The food was pricey but I don't go there all the time. I don't think it's the best food I've ever tasted. I did not care for the cold soup as it was plain in my opinion. We h... read more

Alan Wong's is all wrong – My husband and I have been to some of the best restaurants in the world and were looking forward to dining at Alan Wong's and experiencing one of Hawaii's premiere restaurants. Sadly, our disappointment began as soon as the elevator doors opened. The room was chaotic, the display counter and hostess area crowded and the bar small and cramped. Since our table was not ready, we were asked to wait at the bar. The bartender was slow to approach and not very personable. Waiting at the bar gave us time t... read more

Treated Like Royalty – On a recent trip to Honolulu, I had the pleasure of dining at Alan Wong's Restaurant. I have been to many restaurants in this price range that offer Pacific Rim Cuisine, but I have never been so impressed. First of all, the hostess actually remembered that my husband had mentioned that it was our anniversary when he booked reservations online! We were congratulated by name regarding our anniversary by the waiters, bus boys and the manager that evening. Our water was never empty and our plates were clea... read more

Always wonderful – My husband and I visit Alan Wong's at least monthly. I've never had a bad meal there and the service is also wonderful. Although the location is out of the way and the noise level can sometimes be high, it's still a great place for dinner.
