   Not organized for a 6pm dinner(second seating for evening and not busy), 2 similar salads, food cool, minimal desert which they ran out of. No value for money paid and felt new years Buffett should offer enough food, properly set up and some Hawaiian food and something a little more special. Music very quiet. I would not recommend this restaurant

   This buffet was underwhelming in every way. First, it was raining and we sat outdoors paying $250 for one adult and two teenagers to have dinner on a rooftop deck. The buffet choices included prime rib and turkey, salad without vegetables, rolls, green beans and chowder. The ambience was lackluster and food quality well below expectations for this cost on such a special evening. Entertainment included loud music that stopped around 6pm. The waitress saved the evening because she was fantastic.

   I regret choosing this place for our New Year’s Eve dinner. The buffet was average at best, with the fish being the absolute worst I’ve ever tasted—bland and overcooked. For $65 per person (not including tip), we expected much better. There were four of us, and we barely ate anything because the quality was so disappointing. It certainly did not live up to the price or the occasion. This was a complete waste of money, and we won’t be returning.

   Food was ok - service was slow but server was very sweet - she just had too many tables. Typical hotel buffet

   I recently dined at the Kuhio Beach Grill’s buffet in the Marriott Waikīkī, and it was an absolute disaster. The au jus steak was completely inedible—the meat itself was so fatty that it couldn’t be enjoyed at all. For the price charged, this level of quality is unacceptable. The turkey was no better. While I avoided it, my husband ate some and ended up feeling sick later that night. It’s alarming that a meal from a well-known restaurant could cause such discomfort. The desserts were just as disappointing. The selection was uninspired, and the flavors were bland and forgettable. It was clear that no effort was made to offer guests a proper dining experience. The only positive aspect was the service. The servers were attentive, friendly, and professional, but even excellent service couldn’t make up for the subpar food. Given the exorbitant price of this buffet, I cannot stress enough how much of a waste of time and money this was. Avoid Kuhio Beach Grill at all costs—you’ll thank yourself for choosing somewhere else.
