Our ohana had a vision to share our love for ono food, live music and hospitality with the world. In 2019, this dream became a reality when we opened Moani Island Bistro and Bar on the west side of O’ahu. With the overwhelming support from our customers, Moani’s success has exceeded our expectations. Our family is thriving, our vision is growing, and Moani is expanding. Come and be a part of the family, enjoy our genuine aloha, heart-filled cooking and island music. Join us at our second location, in the heart of Waikiki!
With love,



The Keolanui ‘Ohana

    The service was slow, the prices were very high for the portion size and the steak was over cooked and not good quality. Disappointed overall. We had a party of 6 so gratuity was included automatically regardless of the quality of service.

    The food and service was outstanding! Had the pork chops and fried rice. Portions were generous. Excellent value in the heart of a high priced tourist center.

    We ordered bacon truffle cheese fries, kawali fried chicken, pele’s prawns and the whole fried fish. The fried chicken and fish were our favorites and would definitely order again.

    This place is definitely going down the hill. Came on Sunday night, wasn’t even busy at all. I ordered rib eye steak and didn’t get it until our entire meal was done. I assume they didn’t put the order in but the server came to us two times and kept telling us sorry it will be ready very soon but didn’t come out until one hour later.

    Miso salmon was 10/10. A more casual spot with live music and hawaiian food that is delicious!

    The food cooled off quickly due to the ceiling fans. The Korean BBQ Ribs were good, the Moani Special Fired Rice was delicious, but the French Fries lacked seasoning. Service was great as well as the ambience. Had the food not cooled so quickly and the fries properly seasoned, then it would have been a significantly better experience.
