Herringbone Waikiki

The atmosphere at Herringbone is top notch - you'd never know you're inside a busy mall! The ambiance and the service really made dinner feel relaxing. However, the food was really hit or miss, and the menu inconsistencies between online, in print, and verbal were so disappointing. They didn't have several things that were listed online (including the dinner my husband wanted) and didn't have the dessert that I wanted to go here for - it's still listed on both the online and restaurant menus, but the waiter told us it's discontinued. If we'd known what was actually on the menu, we'd probably have skipped going here. 5/5 Drinks - both the cocktails and mocktails are flavourful and fun 5/5 Wagyu hot stone - we loved this! Small portions of course (it's a small appetizer), but the flavour was so good 2/5 American wagyu - this was not cooked rare as ordered, and was kind of so-so. Unfortunate since it wasn't cheap. My husband didn't want to waste food by having it remade but it was so disappointing 3/5 Brussels sprouts - very oily, not a lot of flavour 4/5 Bone marrow - very tiny portion but great flavour 3/5 Misoyaki butterfish - pretty standard and the bok choy is a great addition. I didn't love it, but it was good. The shrimp dumplings were the highlight of the dish for sure Overall we enjoyed the setting for dinner a lot but for a $200 meal I expected it to be better - and especially for the steak to be cooked as ordered

Something was off during our visit! We’re told we had to be seated inside - even though tables available outside. Then no service - eventually the barman (lady) was sent over and was delightful but clearly under pressure to make cocktails and still come running out to take food orders! So everything was pretty slow and a few errors were made! The manager was wafting around spending a lot of time chatting to wait staff but not assisting or directing in any meaningful way! Having said that - when we received our food it was good - oysters superb! Overall really disappointing and could easily have been very different !

Great service from Shannon! Favorite drink of the trip as the Capricious Collins, so refreshing. The Wagyu hot stone and miso cod were the standouts of the meal. Came back the next day for another beverage, nice bar staff too!

I’ve been wanting to try this place ever since it opened and unfortunately it did not live up to the expectations. It has absolutely stunning design, beautiful patio and dining room, definitely would be a good spot for a get together atmosphere-wise. I came in around 9 pm on a Saturday night and the the restaurant wasn’t busy, I was greeted and seated immediately and the hostess was so incredibly nice and welcoming despite the fact it was already so late into the busiest night of the week. I happened to come during the happy hour, so I got a drink and food off that menu - Aoki Manhattan, hamachi crudo and furikake fries. I’m a whiskey/bourbon aficionado and it was the first time I had a Manhattan served on the rocks. The drink was flavorful and stiff but biting on the small pieces of ice felt a bit off. The crudo tasted fantastic, fresh fish, tangy sauce and topping, almost perfect if it was a bit more seasoned. I wouldn’t recommend furikake fries. Definitely prepared to order, hot and crispy, but the flavor was lacking. Small sprinkle of mass-produced furikake that mostly contained salt didn’t do anything for the flavor and nor did a modest amount of mayo squeezed on top. My server seemed in a rush and a bit uninterested, perhaps because it was just me. My water never got refilled, he never checked in on me or asked how was everything going. Somebody who I assumed to be a manager checked in on me, I shared my experience and he seemed to care and wanting to help/rectify my experience. I won’t be back as there are better places on the island, but I believe they have some good dishes and maybe you should find out for yourself.

This restaurant in the heart of Waikiki is divine!!! The food is so fresh and exquisite the decor is gorgeous and so inviting and the atmosphere is wonderful, based on the top floor of the international market place mall. The staff are a little slow and can forget things, not so sharp on service but kind nonetheless! Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a beautiful dining experience! Great for family groups too!

We went to Herringbone Waikiki for happy hour and also celebrate our anniversary. There was no wait for a table and we didn't have reservations. Josiah was our attentive server. I had the Berry Good Time while Hubby had the Peach Daiquiri. The drinks were well balanced. Then, we shared a dozen Wildcat West Coast Oysters, Gochujang Octopus, Island Chopped Salad, Hamachi Crudo, and Hot Stone Washugyu. Everything was delicious! The oysters were creamy. We particularly enjoyed the hamachi crudo and ordered another one. We ended with the Pandan Dome dessert. It was an interesting sweet ending. Highly recommend this happy hour if you're in Waikiki.

Such a hidden gem tucked away on the 3rd floor. Quiet but lovely! Food was fantastic and the service top notch! Super low prices for the area!

Although pricey, our food was so ono! I had the deep fried snapper with truffle ponzu and would highly recommend it - so flavorful and yummy. It was my first time going to Herringbone and I was also so impressed with the ambiance. The perfect blend of classy while also being a nice place to chill. Their outdoor seating area would make for a beautiful venue for a small gathering too!

Easy to book online and easy to find at the International Marketplace in Waikiki on the top floor where all the restaurants are. Tucked away in a corner, open air, lanterns and fairy lights creating a romantic glow, a beautiful restaurant perfect for a date night or special occasion. The food is delicious, perfectly presented, very competitively priced, with unusual ingredients and great service. We arrived at 5.30pm and were seated in the main restaurant but were able to order from the Happy Hour menu until 6pm, as well as the main menu. We started with: Drinks Lychee Martini from the Happy Hour menu, cucumber sweet and very drinkable after an afternoon shopping. Cranberry soda for the non drinker was presented nicely and garnished Food Hamachi Crudo from the HH menu was a smaller portion, but delicious, smooth fish with crunchy topping and a beautiful sauce. Oyster shooters from the HH menu - 3 large oysters served on ice accompanied by 2 sauces, the vinegar one was our fave MAPLE LEAF FARMS DUCK BREAST foie gras, blood orange five-spice gastrique, orzo, choy sum - absolutely amazing dish and cooked to perfection. The orzo was slightly toasted on the bottom and the duck slightly pink. 10/10 MUSSELS TIKKA MASALA green lip mussels, cilantro, garlic herb bread - this is a taste of home for me and I always order green lips if they are on the menu. This was a great way to prepare them and it was moreish, with a thick gravy to dip the bread into. Usually I prefer them in a stock but this was unusual and delicious and I enjoyed every bite. 10/10 Our server was professional, very proactive filling drinks/water, and knew the menu well, always a great sign. She was also very friendly and looked after us extremely well. 10/10 We had a lovely meal for our date night, perfect food, romantic setting, excellent service, and the ability to mix the HH menu with the dinner menu made it a very competitively priced special meal out. I would definitely recommend Herringbone and I will return for more of their delicious cuisine, especially if they are serving green lips!

Waikiki, HI Visited: November 2025 I stopped in for lunch at Herringbone in Waikiki and ordered the lobster roll ($39). It was absolutely delicious -- packed with a generous serving of fresh, tender lobster on a soft, warm bun that really tied everything together. The portion was satisfying and well worth it for the quality. The service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and perfectly timed without being intrusive. The restaurant itself has a stylish, open-air vibe that fits perfectly with the Waikiki atmosphere. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing, upscale lunch or dinner. A bit on the pricey side, but the quality and service make it worth it. I'd definitely come back again.

Came here with my family to celebrate my mother's 65th birthday. The service was absolutely amazing (thank you Alana for taking care of us!!!!). The seafood tower was so so so fresh and delicious. We also ordered crab cakes, Ambience was absolutely beautiful and intimate for a dinner meal. 10/10 would recommend.

We went to the happy hour and unfortunately it was a disappointment. The service was great and the restaurant itself looked nice, but the food portions were surprisingly small compared to other happy hours in town. I was shocked to see just one taco on a plate for $8 and a single slider for $13 - I expected at least two of each. The quality was mediocre at best, and the cocktails were overly sweet and weak. I usually try a restaurant's happy hour as a way to decide if I'd come back for dinner, but sadly, that won't be the case here.

100% come here for happy hour! $3 oysters, great drink deals, and the best service from Mia! I love the lights and greenery. The open air dining provides an outside vibe but cool airy feel. We had the oysters, fish tacos (get 2), Pulehu Steak, and Brussels. Seriously the best happy hour menu in town!

Had a wonderful brunch at Herringbone. We were seated in a nice, quiet and cool area in the restaurant. Service was courteous and timely. There is a wide variety of choices on the menu that looks small only because the words are so small. I had the Eggs Benedict that featured lobster and fish eggs. My sister enjoyed a salad. The Guava Dome pictured above was an original creation that my sister loved. I ordered the haupia Gelato. The Gelato is served with 3 scoops and you could get different flavors that my brother in law did. Ample parking in the International Marketplace parking garage. Don't forget to get a restaurant parking validation.

The concept of ocean to table achieves new meaning while dining at Herringbone Waikiki. Located on the fourth-level Grand Lanai of the extensively remodeled yet still iconic International Marketplace Shopping Center, which connects the main thoroughfares of Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues, Herringbone Waikiki is part of the Aoki Group, led by Kevin Aoki. Kevin is the son of Hiroaki "Rocky" Aoki, who famously built and led the world-renowned Benihana Teppanyaki empire for over 50 years. With a number of restaurants all with differing concepts throughout Hawaii and the mainland United States, the Aoki Group has put its stamp on the contemporary dining scene. With the Herringbone concept, they clearly wanted to take a Southern California Coastal lifestyle to new heights with a yacht harbor like interior meets open-air look and feel. Of course, being a tourist in the mecca for all things touristy, I had to pregame with a little research in what places actually host Happy Hour. Luckily many places within the Grand Lanai area host Happy Hour, and what sets Herringbone Waikiki apart from many of their competitors is that they not only do they host what they call an Oyster Hour from 4-6 p.m. but they also host it from 9 p.m. to close every day as well. After eating a fairly substantial lunch time meal I wasn't super hungry, not even to enjoy a nice light meal for Happy Hour from 4-6 p.m. but by 9 p.m. I was much more famished and ready to enjoy some light foods and a festive cocktail. Upon entry to Herringbone Waikiki at 9 p.m. the place was almost deserted save for a few stragglers at the bar and a few out on their outdoor patio. I asked the host if the Oyster Hour deal was still available at this time and they said it was and I was just to find a seat at the bar, of which there were plenty but no bartender or server in sight. After waiting a while for their presence to be known, their bartender finally appeared from behind the shadows and let me know that Oyster Hour was still being enforced despite a considerable lack of business. Despite Herringbone Waikiki having rather the extensive menu from featuring sections such as Main Dishes, The Grill, and Side Dishes, I had my eye on the Oyster Hour menu which featured a number of Cocktails, Wine, Draft Beers, and Food items none of which was over 15 dollars, with most of them being priced in the single digits. I decided to order their cocktail called "A Berry Good Time" which had vodka, raspberry liqueur, lemon, and cane sugar. For food, since they are called Herringbone, and it was their Oyster Hour, I ordered six of their Oysters on the Half Shell, of which they call their season's best served with kimchi mignonette, wasabi cocktail sauce, and lemon. Additional hot food items I ordered included their Hot Stone Washugyu, which was raw sliced American Wagyu beef topped with black garlic ponzu sauce, white truffle oil and scallions served with a piping hot iron stone in which you grill the meat on your own to your liking. To finish my meal I ordered their Beef Patty Slider which was topped with cheddar cheese, pickle, onion, and secret sauce and served with an unexpected side of fries. My cocktail was a bright, pink, fruit-forward blend where the berry flavors really took center stage. Served over plenty of ice, it made for a refreshing way to kick off Oyster Hour. The six oysters were beautifully plated on shaved ice, offering a hearty, unsweetened flavor that pairs well with the two dipping sauces provided. The true highlight of my meal, however, was the pair of protein-driven dishes. Wagyu sliced beef was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in some time, grilling the meat myself on a hot stone was both fun and delicious. My only quibble was that the generous portion size meant I couldn't quite finish before the stone lost its heat. The slider was another pleasant surprise, delivering a familiar flavor profile of secret sauce and fries, but at half the size and cost of a full entrée. My total bill came to $60.73 before gratuity, which felt very reasonable considering the amount of food and the quality of the cocktail. While Herringbone Waikiki didn't have the liveliest atmosphere, as Waikiki tends to quiet down as the evening goes on, the restaurant delivers high-quality dining at fair prices, wrapped in an elegant coastal ambiance. For that reason alone, the Grand Lanai at the International Marketplace is fortunate to count them among its culinary offerings.

Came for happy hour, apparently few do. Very little here for the non drinker, really no mocktails or drinkable N/A brews. About 10 happy hour meal options, really no great tastes or values, we tried 5 different items and none except the pulehu steak were worthy of mentioning. Kudos for the self serve phone charging station! Unfortunately, this one time hot spot has significantly cooled.

My best friend took me here recently to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a great experience! I used to come here mainly for brunch back when they offered bottomless mimosas (sadly, they don't anymore ), and I had only been for dinner once before--but I barely remembered anything except the octopus dish. This time, my friend took the reins and ordered for us, and everything was absolutely delectable. The service was quick, and the staff were all so genuinely friendly--it made the evening even more enjoyable. We got the seafood tower, which is totally worth the price--big, juicy pieces of lobster and super fresh selections all around. The wagyu was just okay, but I think seafood is really where this place shines. Bonus: you can earn points if you download their app, which is a nice perk. I'd definitely come back again!

the food here was amazing! we got the pulehu steak for the happy hour and it's probably the most worth-it item on the happy hour menu. we also got the happy hour oysters which is worth it! i really like the lychee martini here! they made it so good. service.. in the beginning it seemed a little off like they were annoyed. we made a reservation at 9 beforehand and they close at 10 but the workers passing our table gave us looks which made us uncomfortable. our server on the other hand was very sweet and accommodating. the ambiance was beautiful! there's bar seating and tables inside and outside. it's pretty dim in there but makes the ambiance look beautiful.

After a week of sushi and slurped up udon in Waikiki, we wandered off our usual path, craving something different. Oysters and a dirty martini called to me, seafood pasta promised comfort for the kids, and the duck and bone marrow caught my husband's eye. The restaurant glowed with potential, but despite our reservation, we were seated by the entrance, far from the string lights and ocean breeze we had hoped for. Then came Alana. Calm, confident, and genuinely kind, she elevated the entire evening. She knew the menu by heart, tailored drinks to our tastes, and treated our children with the kind of care usually reserved for regulars. They left feeling like honored guests. The oysters were fresh, the mashed potatoes velvety, the ice cream a sweet finale. The duck and bone marrow were fine but forgettable. The seafood pasta, sadly, missed the mark--cold, too sweet, and soft where it should have held bite. Still, what lingered was not the missteps, but the warmth of a server who turned a meal into a memory. Would we return? For Alana, without hesitation. For the food, perhaps not, with so many stars shining elsewhere in Waikiki.

We tried this place twice during Happy hour and regular hours. The Grilled Octopus with Gochuchang was very good. The Kumamoto Oysters were fresh and tasty. We also tried the Mussels Tikka Masala which we did not care for. Not a very good flavor. Good atmosphere and located right downtown.

This place was so good that I went twice during my stay on the island! The stone cooked wagyu and oysters on the happy hour menu are soooo delicious! I sat both at the bar and at a table and received great service from both. Restaurant is clean, has high ceilings, open, and has a nice patio area. $3 good quality, fresh oysters were well worth it!

Hubby and I were walking around the 3rd level of the International Market Place for the different restaurant options available for a small quick bite. Upon looking at different menu's, an older gentlemen who was on his way in mentioned he's eaten here several times and the food was amazing. We asked for his opinion on another restaurant close by and he did not recommend it, so that's how we ended up here! Popped in for a few happy hour bites. Brussels Sprouts ($8): Crispy brussels sprouts with a chile lime vinaigrette. The brussels do get a bit soggy over time as it sits in the sauce but it's just as delicious. Hubby and I both agreed this was our favorite dish of the four we ordered! Furikake Fries ($7): French fries topped with yuzu aioli, fish roe, chopped scallions, and a tiny bit of furikake. Wouldn't really consider this a furikake fry dish since it was so light in furikake that you couldn't even taste it. The aioli was a bit much and made the dish feel quite heavy. Would pass and just get an order of regular fries. Hotstone Washugyu ($16): Raw thinly sliced American Wagyu beef topped with a black garlic ponzu sauce that you self-cook on a black hot stone. I'd recommend asking for a side of garlic ponzu sauce for dipping as the flavor was light after cooking on the hot stone. Pulehu Steak ($15): Sliced Washugyu (American Wagyu) with black garlic and a side of chimichurri sauce + mixed greens w/ a lilikoi vinaigrette. Addition of the salad was nice and light with the lilikoi vinaigrette - very different with a tropical twist. Service was excellent our entire stay. Happy hour was delicious I'd definitely come back if in the area!

I ALWAYYYYYS love coming here. Whether it's for date night, a casual dinner, a quick pau hana drinks, or for a business meeting... Herringbone will always take care. Ambiance is perfect, staff is always so knowledgeable and hospitable, and food is always prepared to perfection. Thank you to Chris for taking care of our experience there! 10/10 recommend this place to anyone considering.

Still excellent -- the happy hour and everything else. Last year and this, the oysters were probably the weakest link, large ones from I think Wildcat Cove, which were meaty, but poorly shucked, with lots of shell, and little liquor. I may be a little pickier than some customers, but i buy and shuck my own oysters frequently, and for me, these were quite a few days less fresh than ideal. Writing this review as a reminder not to get these again. Got that, Future Self? Everything else was (still) fantastic, with hot stone Washugyu, hamachi crudo, Pulehu steak, and the Aoki Manhattan remaining standouts. Ingredients are of higher quality than most area restaurants, with a lot of skill+ attention to detail evidenced in the kitchen and on the floor as well. Hamachi crudo was a different formulation than before, garnished with a lot of mayonnaise-like dressing, which isn't usually my thing at all. But the fish used was of high enough quality that I could not find fault. A good, hot frier made for excellent fries. Steaks and hot stone beef were of unassailable quality. One downside from last year: They seem to have installed a large screen TV to the back of the restaurant, which I don't remember being there prior. TV is an evil destroyer of family conversation and I wish it weren't there. That negative aside... Herringbone remains one of our favorite places in Waikiki Beach, its location in International Market supremely touristy, but the quality high enough that I suspect some locals might like this place as well. To many return visits.

Atmosphere was beautiful, very friendly and professional staff. We got the pre fixe menu which came with a salad, cold seafood platter with raw oysters, shrimp and lobster (amazing!), cook your own Wagyu beef on a hot stone, Tomahawk steak and dessert. It was all delicious and amazing!! We will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Honolulu!

Food: Food tasted excellent! To me this is the best restaurant in the Aoki chain. Everything tasted so flavorful, tender, and portions were just right. Drinks were also yummy!!!! Food prices are on the more expensive side, but it's worth it. I just wish the lobster roll sandwich was hot... Hard to get hot lobster sandwiches in Hawaii. The hamachi pieces in the appetizer were thick cuts. The Butterfish was super tender, but be careful of the bones. It also came with shrimp dumplings which were different (almost minced shrimp/mushy), but good!!! Service: thank you Cory for making our anniversary dinner wonderful by being patient and attentive. Everything Cory recommended we got and they were all great recommendations! Ambiance: Very modern and beautiful! We sat outside where there are plants, low lighting with fixtures, and wooden furniture. Very romantic setting and also fancy. Would definitely recommend this place!

Hubby found this cute little spot. Very cute, trendy and clean! Loved the open area dining and plants everywhere. It was not busy at all when we arrived but food did take a while to come out. We started off with the oysters. Came with a kimchi sauce and wasabi sauce, both were great paired together. Hubby ordered the octopus and I got the steak and bone marrow. Presentations where beautiful. Baby K got to eat some of the black eye peas from the octopus dish and she enjoyed it along with my bread for the bone marrow. Portions are a little smaller then I would have liked because we were very hungry but guess it keeps you wanting more.

Food: 10/10 - Had the gochujang octopus, hot stone wagyu, tikka masala mussels, and mentaiko pasta. All was absolutely delicious! Ambience: 10/10 - They played 90s/2000s bangers which was definitely my mood for the night - Beautiful setting Service: 10/10 - Went at 6pm on a Wednesday. It wasn't crowded. Service was attentive and friendly! Accommodating for a toddler as well.

I ordered the West Coast Oysters which were on the fishier side rather than sweet, but still very flavorful and not as small as other west coast oysters. The Hamachi Crudo or yellowtail was delicious with a crispy garlic twist which I really liked. The Mentaiko Pasta was amazing, sooo good, the sauce and pasta just perfect! I went on a Monday night, not crowded at all, easy to get a table inside or outside. They have a cute outdoor patio. It was a nice seafood dinner! Thank you!

Very meh. Definitely not bad but nothing special. There are thousands of restaurants like this and as someone visiting the area, I felt like I could easily find this type of restaurant anywhere at home. I was surprised that this place has such good reviews considering the food was very bland for the price. They didn't sit a single person inside either, which I found odd since it was raining. Our table's seats were completely wet and when we asked if we could move they said it because they wiped down the table so we wiped the chairs down with our paper napkins.

This is my second time at Herringbone. It is a lovely place in the international marketplace. Small brunch menu but they do have $5 mimosas with various juices. We were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and I told them that. However, they didn't do anything special which was ok. He had the steak and bone marrow, to which it was overcooked and under seasoned. The bone marrow wasn't the best I've had. He said the best part was the chimichurri. I had the mochi pancakes. Those are Devine. Fully and just perfect. The lilikoi is amazing with it. And just perfection. Our waiter Stefan was a gentleman and very nice! Gave us food recommendations and kept filling our water. Great service!

We were attracted to the nice decor of this restaurant and wanted to indulge in a pleasant weekend brunch here. It was a huge disappointment! The hostess made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable right away and the food was bad. As soon as we walked into the restaurent, the hostess coldly threw a word at us without even looking at us: "two?" We look at each other in disbelieve, and she yelled again: " TWO?" So I replied yes. Then she asked "reservation? Name?" So rude! She can't even speak politely, and start with a proper greeting! Unbelievable. Then she literally took us to the worst table at the entry, where everyone walk pass you, and the hostess, refused to walk a step more, and ask us to sit there, while the entire restaurant was empty! Is she doing this on purpose? Is customer service not only dead, but it's time to ruin their day? Oh I know why, because the hostess wanted to rush back to look at her phone, she was always on her phone during our brunch and she was upset that we came in and interrupted her screen time. Luckily, our waitress was nice, and let us change table, so that makes it up for it, but then, the food was bad. DO NOT ORDER any thing with tuna and lobster on it, it is tasteless and not fresh. The FURIKAKE TUNA TATAKI had an overcooked powdery outside layer and a cold red uncooked center. The texture was weird. The ones at the Cheesecake Factory were much better and larger portion than this. The EGGS BENEDICT with lobster and the LOBSTER ROLL was disappointing because the lobster was taste less. The Mochi Pancake was also taste less, it doesn't have any mochi texture in it. We usually finish everything we order, especially sweets, but we only can eat half of it because it was not good at all. Only the fries, cold slaw, and the bread roll under the lobster tasted good, but I can also just get good fries at Teddy's burger, and didn't come here for the fries. One more thing about how uncomfortable the seating chair was! First, it is too low for the table, and the rope that holds the chair together sink down when you sit, so all you feel is the metal edge that cut in to the back of your thigh. I do not recommend to eat here.

What a great happy hour experience ! The service was nice and efficient, and the food really good and tasty. The happy hour menu is small but we wanted to try everything on the menu. The drinks were good, I tried their peach daiquiri The fish served was so fresh and well prepared, the meat was thinly cute and melting in mouth Their regular menu looks amazing, I will need to try it next time !

Drinks, food, ambiance were all amazing. We came here to celebrate my best friend's mom's birthday and they went the extra mile to make her feel so special. Thank you to the great service and experience!

We enjoyed our visit to Herringbone Waikiki. When we arrive we were asked if we were there for dinner or happy hour. Since we didn't really understand what the difference might be, we said dinner. We soon learned that the difference was that happy hour afforded discount pricing on some drinks and a bunch of small plates at lower prices. So we mostly went for that. My wife had the regular fish taco, and I had the Ahi tuna taco. Both were very good. The octopus plate, of which I've provided a picture, was excellent. The only let down was the lobster twice-baked potato, which I ordered from the dinner menu. I know that lobster is expensive, but for $18 I expected the entire potato to have been scooped out and twice baked. At most half of this one had been, which left me eating regular old potato with no butter or anything else on it for the second half of the dish. Even if it would be too expensive to provide enough lobster filling for the whole potato, at least scoop the whole potato and season and prepare it, rather than leaving the diner with undressed potato. I also had the house Manhattan off the happy hour menu, which was very nice. Our server, whose name I did not catch but who can be seen in the decor photo, was excellent. Really friendly and helpful. The decor was very attractive, but I should mention that my dining partner thought the floor could use a mopping. All in all it was a good experience, and I recommend giving them a try.

Tried the happy hour menu. It's offered at the bar or in the lounge; I really wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. The portions run small - expect one taco or one slider, not a big order. The lychee martini was overly sweet. The furikake fries were a little stingy on the sauce/toppings but were tasty. The brussels sprouts were the top dish I had. The servers were friendly and split our check with no problem.

I ate at Herringbone a long time ago before their reopening. I enjoyed their dishes back then. Their menu had change completely so I always wanted to go back to try their new menu. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and this place seems like a good choice to go to for a special occasion. Sailboat: Included 8 mini oysters, 1/4lb king crab, lobster tail, 6 jumbo shrimp. The seafood tower was fresh. There were 3 sauces but only the cocktail sauce was good. The other 2 sauces were pretty tasteless. The shrimp was good and firm. The lobster was a good size. It was very good. The king crab leg was large and good. The oysters were also good. There wasn't any dirt in them and the mini size was easier to eat. Mentaiko Pasta: The pasta was very good. Good amount of mentaiko flavor. The pasta was chewy very udon-like texture. The sauce was good but it did have more of a sweeter taste. The octopus was cooked well and the poached egg was perfect with the yolk spilled over the pasta. Gochujang Octopus: We got this from their happy hour menu. We thought the octopus was going to be small since this was on their happy hour menu, but the octopus tentacle was large and thick. It was cooked perfectly. I wasn't crazy about the gochujang sauce. The beans on the bottom were good. Furikake Fries: Another happy hour order. The fries were good. Thick cut and golden. The sauce was good but wish there were more. Pulehu Steak: We got the steak medium well. The steak was ok. It was pretty tough and chewy. The chimichurri sauce didn't have much flavor. The side salad with the lilikoi vinaigrette dressing was delicious. Overall, most of the dishes were delicious. We enjoyed our dinner. The service however was slow. Our server was absent pretty much after she introduced herself. We waited for 25 minutes for someone to take our orders. We had to ask another server to be able to place our orders. The server had to find our server to let her know we were ready. It took another 10 minutes for her to arrive. She disappeared again after she took our orders. Our waters were never filled. We had to keep flagging someone to refill our waters. Same thing happened when we wanted our check. We have to keep asking someone else if we can get our check. The restaurant was not busy and only a handful of the tables were occupied. Not sure if this place offer complimentary dessert for birthdays but we didn't receive any. Our server didn't even mention happy birthday to the birthday girl even though we stated we were celebrating a birthday on our reservation.

This place is Amazing ! It's even 100 times more better when Chef Mark is there! Main entree dishes are superb. Seafood selections are of the highest quality and it's definitely a must have when you dine in here. 10/5 stars for service! Amazing service 11/5 stars for Amazing food 12/5 stars for Ambiance! I felt like I was in another area in the world while eating. 13/5 stars because they car non alcoholic beer. 100/5 stars Because chef Marck will go above and beyond to meet your expectations. So don't hesitate, or second guess ! Just dine in and experience it for yourself ! This place is amazing !

I had such a wonderful time at Herringbone! The restaurant itself was gorgeous and employees were super friendly and welcoming! The atmosphere was delightful for dinner on a hot humid day like this one when we went into to visit. Aoki Manhattan: 9/10 Berry Good Time: 10/10 Houston's Wagyu: 7/10 Grilled Gochuchang Octopus: 9/10 Baja Tacos: 9/10 The best dish was the octopus mostly due to its unique balance of flavors and unique taste. It was super special and tasty! The wagyu steak was less impressive as it was just strips of steak, but still very tasty. I would recommend checking out Herringbone for a nice dinner!

A local loving coming there for happy hour really enjoyed the atmosphere. Therefore I brought my family who was visiting came in at five o'clock.First table to be sat, and they sat us by the kitchen.I asked for a table with more atmosphere and of course I got a little attitude. Food was good, but for entree prices.I would expect linen napkins, not paper napkins flying off in the wind, I would have liked my table cleared between appetizers & salad, an new silverware.But...That said, that's my review.

On the 2nd floor of this incredible International Market Place, Herringbone added a top fine dining choice for tourists and decent business trip. Great service and great food.

Visiting Waikīkī from upstate New York & stumbled across Herringbone restaurant while walking around the International Market Place. A super friendly employee came outside while we were looking at the menu sign outside the restaurant & started chatting with my husband & I. We got sat & this fantastic man brought out 2 glasses of champagne & an appetizer for us on the house. Our waiter, Jeff was super professional, friendly & personable. Every detail was interesting from dolphin skeleton over the bar to the wooden handing garden beds to the lobster traps. Every bite & every sip was perfection! Herringbone is the BEST FOOD we've eaten while in Oahu! I highly recommend going in to check them out.

We have been here 3x for the happy hour and the oysters are AMAZING! Although we found other HH oysters for less, theirs is at $3/oyster. At the times we visited they were serving West Coast oysters which is creamy and meaty! They also have the wagyu on a hot slab and for HH price so worth it!

Frankly, it was the first time to Herringbone in a bit. Came there for a business dinner the other week and decided to come back again. Both times the food was just amazing and the service the second time was even better. Great place for friends and family. The food was instagram worthy, the taste amazing and the memories made will keep this place a favorite for the future.

Beautiful dining room and outside area that captures the charm of the island. Came here for a late dinner after a long day of travel from the mainland. My friend and I split the Kiawe Smoked Salmon Ceasar and the Island Burger and Fries. We also tried the Pandan dessert--thought a bit too sweet for my liking, I was overall satisfied. I'd definitely consider coming back when dining at the International Marketplace.

Beautiful restaurant with open air seating, elegant interior that spells Honolulu. Our server is very nice, chatted a bit about himself. Very respectful man I can see. He recommended a few dishes to us. While it was not his fault, our Gochujang Octopus came at the very end of the night. He apologized and took it off our bill. Browsing through the menu, I came with very high expectations but was a bit disappointed. The dishes are mostly fusion but were not quite tasty. Flavors and tastes were mostly distinct, lacking cohesion and weak. The winners of the night are Mussels Tikka Masala and Potato Crusted Tuna. Hamachi Crudo could use more yuzu vinaigrette to elevate the fish. The Seared Duck Breast tasted gamey with much of the center portion red. It had a strong raw smell and taste to it. The Mentaiko Pasta was a bit weak in uni flavour. The Char Siu flavor on Black Cod was mostly appearance of red rather than the taste of char siu. While the Gochujang Octopus' flavors of kimchi and gochujang did not quite meld together with the main ingredient.

Putting the happy in happy hour. Stopped by for a few quick drinks with the squad, ending up having a meal instead. There were plenty of options from heftier bites to light appetizers. My friends opted for their cocktails while I ordered their meat-centered dishes. The meat was cooked perfectly and had the right among of savory flavor without being overwhelming. The portion for the ahi wonton taco was a bit disappointing in spite of the flavor being there. The hot stone was a fun novelty and great way to cook the meat to my liking. Oysters were also fresh and a pleasant surprise to see all the way from California. Service was prompt throughout the experience for our big group and the restaurant has a nice wooden ship / tropical environment. They also played live music which is always nice to hear. Would definitely come back again

The atmosphere is outstanding, and the service is friendly. However, the food portions are very small--I was still hungry after my dish, which included one piece fish, three pieces of bok choy, and a few small shrimp dumplings. The price is somewhat high for the amount of food served, and the $60 wagyu beef is just beef slices, comes with no greens or potatoes.

Finally a good meal in Waikīkī that doesn't revolve around rice or dry roasted potatoes. Got pretty tired of eating rice during my vacation. For appetizers, we got the Tiki Masala mussels and crab cake. I loved both of those and this might be the second best crab cake I've had. Being from California, we usually eat mussels every week and the mussels here were PERFECT. I wanted to get their Salmon but they ran out. Instead I got their lobster roll that comes with fries and cole slaw. The lobster was fresh tasting and not too overcooked or salty. The food came out quick and friendly waitress. She checked up on us frequently.

I will always come here everytime I visit Hawaii (This will be like my 5th). The service is usually great this time though the server wasn't that friendly so I requested a server that I have had before. The food this time wasn't as good, the crudo to be exact. We usually get the oysters which were good. It was the curry mussels that was the disappointment, it just didn't tast the same. The wagu stone and truffle fries were great as ususal. It was good just a little off. It made me a little sad since I won't be visiting HI in a while.

This is the perfect place for celebrating a very special occasion. Very nice ambiance, nice rooftop atmosphere. The food was good but very expensive. If you want a sit down fancy restaurant this is the place for you

One of my favorite happy hours in Waikiki! Their $9 lychee martinis are delicious and so fresh. I'm also a big fan of their selection of small bites. I highly recommend the Baja Fish Taco ($8) with queso fresco, red cabbage, pico de gallo, sour cream, cilantro, lime, and the Gochujang Octopus ($11) with slaw, black-eyed peas, anchovy aioli, and scallion oil, both are amazing! From their dinner menu, I'm absolutely obsessed with the Mussels Tikka Masala ($21) with green lip mussels, cilantro, and garlic herb bread. Definitely a must-try spot in Waikiki!

I visit Waikiki regularly, and I have eaten in most of the restaurants within the International Market Place. This was the first time I have eaten at "Herringbone Waikiki". This restaurant is located on the top floor of the International Market Place. It has both indoor and patio seating. The decor is very nice. The table service provided by the waiter and food runner was very good, too. Unfortunately, I did not choose a meal that was entirely to my liking. I ordered the "Aoki Manhattan" ($18). It's their interpretation of the traditional Manhattan cocktail. For my entree, I ordered the Seared Duck Breast ($38). With tax (2.64), my ticket was $58.64 before any gratuity. The duck is served with orzo and choy sum. The orzo is molded into the shape of a rice cake, and then toasted or grilled. The choy sum is positioned on the orzo cake. Then the slices of seared duck are placed atop the choy sum. The presentation was nice; the duck was cooked perfectly; but the orzo patty had the taste and texture of a carboard hockey puck (in my opinion). The price point of this restaurant is on the higher end. I will give it another try in the future. I was happy with service and ambiance. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like I had a complete meal because I found a major element on the plate unappetizing.

Herringbone Waikiki (Brunch) Overall: ***** Highly Recommended ***** Food: ***** tasty Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: ***** cool place to chill Service: **** (food may be slow) Parking: ***** large lot, validated Herringbone Waikiki is located on the third floor of the International Market Place. It has an open air dining room that is beautifully decorated, and at night it has a romantic feel. With limited air conditioning, you'll want to be their when the trade winds are blowing and it's cool. Executive Chef Gary Tamashiro does not disappoint with his menu at Herringbone. I've been to Herringbone many times and the service is always good. However, I recommend going a few minutes before they open to be one of the first tables to put in your order if you are in a rush. If you have time to relax and have a few, then not a problem.

Best dinner spot for our entire trip! Everything from the cocktails to dinner dishes, it was great! Super cute outdoor patio area with sun shade if needed. Must try their manhattan as it's probably the best we've had. It's made a little different since it's on a large rock, but the whiskey and how it's made is perfection! The steak and fish were both on point and we finished every bit of it! Must try the Korean chicken wings as well. It comes with a side of fries so great to have as a light snack or something to share. Will certainly come back and will have to find their other locations.

Love their happy hour!!! $3 oysters were amazing and the cocktail sauce was probably the best I've ever had. I think it's an amazing bang for your buck at such a beautiful restaurant with great service. I'd definitely return.
