Had a lovely happy hour with a large group. They were very accommodating, and Jordan gave us great service!
$5 well wine and beer and $14 select appetizers like fried chicken, pork belly, pork bao, and calamari.
The Caesar salad with chicken (staff favorite) was off the charts. ($16) The dressing was delicious. The lettuce was fresh, and I loved the crunchy chicken on top plus the tiny little crunchy, arare and umami furikake. The pork belly appetizer was on happy hour for $14 which was eight succulent slices of pork belly on top of kimchi and lettuce. I would ask for light sauce next time, to more enjoy the grilled crunchy outside of the pork belly. I also got to try the pork hash bun, which was like a super seasoned pork hash filling, but instead of wonton wrapper was inside of a fluffy bao bun. Top notch! Even my soda water was perfectly carbonated. I always avoided this place because I thought it was a tourist trap, but now I am super impressed by the overall quality of the food, the enthusiasm of the staff, even though it was a slow day, and the overall value was excellent for the area where portions can be small and prices can be high.
Thanks Moani team, can’t wait to come back and dance.

First time here & amazing experience! The service was great! The ribs were a little dry but the dessert was delicious! Mai Thai was refreshing! Recommend it for a night out in Hawaii!

This is a really nice restaurant with amazing food, drinks, atmosphere and service. We tried several dishes at Happy Hour. Bao Burgers were my favorite.

Nice place with live singing performance! Food is reasonably good and we received great service there! Recommend bigger group or family to visit as the food portion is really huge.
My wife and I visited Moani Waikiki for dinner as a couple and we do struggle a bit to finish the food we ordered. We also saw couples packaging food back as they are unable to finish the dishes. Their size portion is more for group/family sharing.
Food wise I would highly recommend their pork belly and spicy shrimps and clams!!! Their seafood is really fresh and we love it.

House **INSIDE** the third floor of international market (if you rely on Google maps- it’ll loop your around) .
I loved the food so much that I went to this restaurant 3 times during my stay. It’s also a great atmosphere for groups. There’s live music on site and also the hallways at the restaurant gives a good view of the lower level of the international market
