Restaurants near Aulani

I was wondering what are some good places to eat near Aulani

There are Many! What kind of food do you like? I can give you some great ideas...make sure you have a rental car!

I know I've seen some other threads with great ideas, you might try searching for those.

For cheap breakfast, we loved the Koa Pancake House in Kapolei (assuming you have a car). We stayed at the JW Marriott before Aulani was open and really enjoyed their restaurants (great breakfast buffet).

I would love some suggestions as well. We will have a car and would love to visit the places the locals like. We have a car but would prefer to stay closer to the resort.

We just got back from Aulani last Sunday. Our favorite restaurant was Azul. It's in the Marriot next door. It's an italian restaurant and the chef makes fresh pasta everyday.

I have seen several posts referring to the Marriott next door. Which one has the pool bar and serves good burgers? I'm confused.

o The food was extremely fresh, in a very modern hotel and something you don’t see quite often (in my opinion!). It was really great! 
