Quality of food has gone downnnnn

Vincent_B, Jan 2025

We just had the buffet because we saw the show two years ago, and liked BOTH very much at the time. This time, i felt the quality of the food has deteriorated since the last time we came. I most probably WON'T be doing this dinner again.

So much fun

Donna_V, Jan 2025

Food was great, service was great, the show was awesome. Loved the entertainment throughout the while dinner.

What a performance, bravo

Charles_B, Jan 2025

The.dinner.buffet was extraordinary. The service was exceptional. All of the staff we encountered were nice and professional. The show... wow everything about the show was great. Everything from the dancers to the singers was delightful . The chief !t the end that twirled fire batons was the best part for me personally. I definitely encourage the VIP pass. No waiting in lines!

Memorable Laua with hubby

monette_a, Jan 2025

It’s good food, great show and hospitable crew. The entertainment was superb. You feel you just want to join them.

Magical experience!

marcianna_a, Jan 2025

This was so entertaining! We loved everything about the dinner and the show. We chose this specifically because it was one of the few luau that catered to a vegetarian family member. The food was pleasing for all appetites in the family. Really happy with the professionalism of the wait staff and the magical show that was put on by the entertainers. This show was not only for adults but our 11 year old was extremely impressed with Michael Jackson look alike and Elvis impersonator! We intend to do this show again when we return.

We did the luau dinner...

David_R, Jan 2025

We did the luau dinner and show. Staff was extremely helpful and buffet was delicious. The buffet was not a traditional luau as the dinner takes place at an outdoor area within a mall and the show is inside within a theater. It is more of a dinner followed by a show rather than the traditional luau show. The performers were great and the family enjoyed the show which included traditional Hawaiian dancing/music, Elvis, Michael Jackson, and fire dancer! It was awesome!

Amazing show

Cristin_P, Jan 2025

The whole experience was great and friendly stuff. Elvis was amazing and great show. The whole show was amazing and very well organized.

A very enjoyable evening!

Eric_D, Dec 2024

Not realizing the show was part “rock” we were taken aback when not seeing more of a “luau show”! It was tribute performers for Elvis & Michael Jackson. It all turned out fine, the show was great!! The food, some very good, some just okay. All in all, it was a very good experience for us & would recommend to others.

Don’t waste your time on this.

Chris_Z, Dec 2024

Waste of time and money. It’s just a buffet with lots of people and long lines to wait in. Go to a nice restaurant instead.

Good food and a Great Show

Ryan_D, Dec 2024

Very entertaining. Staff were very courteous and accommodating. The show was amazing. Food was great.

Great Luau Experience

Evan_B, Dec 2024

Awesome time! Good food and great atmosphere. The staff were so welcoming and I really wanted to do a Luau type experience and this was perfect.

Not worth it

Crystal_A, Dec 2024

Don’t do the luau buffet. Food was very expensive and entertainment was low quality. Did not get a lai and overall experience was very unauthentic. Spend a little more to not have a luau in the mall.

A must see.

Tammy_J, Dec 2024

This was a great experience. The food was awesome, drinks great and the show was phenomenal!! So grateful that we chose this experience while here in Waikiki.

My experience

Michael_R, Dec 2024

We had a great time. The food was good, the service excellent and the entertainment outstanding. I would not only come again, I would recommend other to come.

Surprise

LaKisha_W, Dec 2024

The food and entertainment during dinner. It should advertise better that an Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson impersonators would be a BIG part of the show. That was kinda disappointing especially as a visitor wanting to experience an authentic luau experience.

Rock a Hula Rocks

Dianne_L, Dec 2024

We booked the VIP package and really enjoyed our time. The food was good. We loved the back stage tour and found it very interesting. It was a fun night for all of us.

Great show

Lorrie_K, Dec 2024

The experience was very nice. Glad we went. Wish everyone received a lei. Even if it wasn’t real flowers.

Good night out.

Bruce_L, Dec 2024

Good meal. Excellent show. Good service and cocktails. Elvia, Michael Jackson, singers and dancers all put on a good show.

A great night out

KIM_W, Nov 2024

The meal could’ve been a bit more organized at the meat stations but other than that it was okay. The show was great! Loved the wider seats.

Amazing

Stephanie_C, Nov 2024

There was a point where the musical instruments were louder than the performers when they were singing but ultimately this was a great show. The food was amazing!
