What are your favorites? I have heard that the food is not great. Are there local spots around the resort you would recommend instead? Two adults, two kids (10 & 14)
You have heard incorrect information. The food is very good. People just need to adjust their minds around the fact that all food in Hawaii is expensive.What are your favorites?

7-11 Hawaii… we’re coming through for you!What are your favorites? I have heard that the food is not great. Are there local spots around the resort you would recommend instead? Two adults, two kids (10 & 14)
Everyone’s budget is so different. Off the Hook has a lot of good options (which includes pool side), the Malasadas for breakfast from the Olelo room, Ulu cafe, mamas fish shack….That's great news! Any favorites?
Isn't Mama's Fish Shack on Maui?Everyone’s budget is so different. Off the Hook has a lot of good options (which includes pool side), the Malasadas for breakfast from the Olelo room, Ulu cafe, mamas fish shack….
We always get a room with a kitchen and go to Foodland Farms to get food while there as a money saver.
We also like Ama Ama, Mina’s at 4 Season’s, and Longhi’s at Marriott.
The Mai Thai at Moneky Pod was good, but it very crowded and my wife’s food was undercooked.
We also are just fine with the food at ABC store.
No, that’s Mama’s Fish House…. which is a restaurant.Isn't Mama's Fish Shack on Maui?![]()
I haven’t been there in a LONG time, but it was a fantastic experience the two times I went there.Love Mama's Fish House - especially their curry!![]()
Mama Snack's Shop has delicious coconut shrimp and fish and chips.We enjoy the food at Aulani and often end up eating dinner there multiple days a week.
We rate Ulu Cafe's food and choices far better than any quick-service restaurant at the deluxe resorts at WDW or DL. We love the Acai Bowl and Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich for breakfast. At lunch and dinner, we chose the Poke Bowl and hot entrees. Although mediocre, we end up eating pizza once a week.
We love the character breakfast at Makahiki, especially the malasadas, pancakes, and Loco Moco.
We enjoy the appetizers at Oleleo Room and end up turning it into a dinner.
We enjoy the entrees at Off the Hook.
We've never tried dinner at Makahiki or Ama Ama. We feel the prices are too outrageous, and we are not foodies.
Offsite, we love the several choices of Japanese food in Kapolei and Waikiki.
