Top Best Seafood Restaurants in Oahu

"If you’re looking for less upscale and more Hawaiian cool, Duke’s Waikiki might hit the spot. Duke’s has a gorgeous view of the bay and serves some of the most beloved food in town at a reasonable price. Seasonal fish, perfectly cooked steaks, and succulent prime ribs take center stage in a menu that packs a lot of spice."

"A couple of our favorite Waikiki lunch spots with great ocean views are Hula Grill, Duke’s Waikiki, and Tropics Bar and Grill for casual fare. For a bit more of an upscale lunch with an ocean view, we like Veranda at the Beachhouse and House without a Key."

"One of the top places to eat in Honolulu and all of Hawaii, Roy's has risen to the top under the masterful tutelage of chef Roy Yamaguchi, who skillfully fuses European and Asian cuisines, this establishment has earned a reputation for lively ambience, attentive service, and incredible food. A devotion to impeccably fresh ingredients and a penchant for artistic presentation characterizes the menu, whose temptations include steamed Hawaiian onaga, tri-peppercorn-crusted ahi, and ginger-steamed Chinese chicken. There's also steak, lamb, pasta, pork, and duck."

"There are over 20 locations of Roy’s across the U.S., but Roy Yamaguchi’s original location in the residential neighborhood of Hawai‘i Kai is still the most special. The service makes guests feel like family, and the food is always reliable and comforting. Look out for Roy’s classic seared misoyaki butterfish and meatloaf with tempura onion rings."

"Open since 2007, Roy’s Waikiki is a high-end Hawaiian fusion restaurant with a contemporary ambiance. Well-known chef Roy Yamaguchi attributes his early appreciation of food to his parents. His father was a military man who was born and raised on the island of Maui, while his mother was born in Japan."

"This is the place to be if you’re looking for that classic club feel — with a unique twist. SKY is located on the 19th floor of a Waikiki high rise with views of the neighborhood’s glittering skyline. One of the (very) few places in Honolulu with an actual dress code, it’s an excellent place to get that mainland club feel, and they’re open until 2 a.m."

SKY Waikiki is a rooftop bar and restaurant 19 Floors above Kalakaua Ave, where cocktails come with a panoramic view of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. Warning, it can get windy up there!"

"The revolving Top of Waikīkī has closed for good and Sky’s new owner, Hide Sakurai, is transforming the former nightclub into a raw bar with its own identity and clientele. The interior of Sky isn’t open at all. It will be once Japanese tourism picks up in the Islands again."

"Don’t let the sweeping ocean views of Waikiki Beach at this open-air restaurant distract you too much—the only thing that rivals the views here is the menu. The kitchen at Hula Grill prides themselves on using the best local produce around. That means high-quality, fresh ingredients from Hawaii farms, and fish line-caught straight from the island waters."

"Located along Waikiki beach, practically right in the middle of Waikiki inside the Outrigger Hotel, is the Hula Grill Waikiki. This casual dining restaurant is very highly rated, and my family and I quickly learned why. Besides the cool atmosphere, and the great location, the food is some of the best seafood I’ve had in Waikiki."

"And for a delicious sit-down dinner, I can highly recommend the Waikiki Hula Grill. It’s a little on the pricier side, but it’s got great seaside views, good service and delicious food."

Meat eaters can tuck into the vadouvan-spiced Australian rack of lamb and paniolo ribeye, whose sides include grilled sweet corn — another specialty of this more upscale choice for lunch or dinner. Open 11am to 3pm daily and 5pm to 8pm Friday to Sunday.haleiwabeachhouse.com"

"The beautiful hike to Likeke Falls, depending on how much time you spend snapping photos and admiring the Ko’olau Mountains, should only take 20-25 minutes. Likeke Falls is one of the least frequented waterfalls in Oahu, but it’s definitely worth the drive, especially if you’re already planning on visiting Maunawili Falls. The short hike is highlighted by mountain vistas, valley overlooks, and lush flora."

"Located near Kailua, the Likeke Falls trail is an easy and muddy trek to a small set of waterfalls. While the Likeke waterfalls themselves are a bit unimpressive, the hike through the lush Hawaiian rainforest is extremely pleasant. Overall, the Likeke Falls are one of the best waterfalls in Oahu."

"A must for coffee nuts, these guys roast all their coffee on-site with homegrown beans and beans bought from throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

"Paris.Hawaii is a rare fusion restaurant that serves Paris-inspired, locally influenced Hawaiian food in an elegant setting. The innovative, minimalist menu crafted by Chef Yuya Yamanaka is a must for foodies; when it comes to fine dining, it’s one of the best restaurants in Honolulu. Gastronomy buffs will appreciate the uniquely hybridized flavors (if not the moderately small portions, which allow you to savor them)."

Established in 2018, PARIS.HAWAII brings the “City of Lights” to the Aloha State by utilizing locally sourced meats, seafood, and produce to create awe-..."

"Near the police substation at Waikiki Beach Center, four ordinary-looking boulders are actually the legendary Wizard Stones of Kapaemahu, said to contain the mana (spiritual essence) of four wizards who came to Oʻahu from Tahiti around AD 400. According to ancient legend, the wizards helped the island residents by relieving their aches and pains, and their fame became widespread. As a tribute when the wizards left, the islanders placed the four boulders where the wizards had lived."
