MW Restaurant

We celebrated my husband’s 50th here this evening. It was the perfect choice! We opted for the set tasting menu and we shared a wine pairing since he wanted a Japanese lager. Dinner consisted of caviar on a soft-boiled egg, mochi-crusted kampachi, scallops, beef tenderloin and a crème brûlée over tapioca. Every bite was delicious. Our server, Alyssa, was cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable.

The attention to detail is second to none. From the very warm welcome and thoughtful service. You could truly tell the chefs put their heart and soul in not just the food but the whole experience. The mochi crusted kampachi was so good and not something I had experienced before. Several unique Hawaiian dishes. You have to get dessert here as well. The pastry chef is a Star!

Small restaurant serving delicious local dishes. Everything we ordered was really good. We found the food to be down to earth - creative yet showcasing the high quality ingredients and not overly complicated. Safe to say our favourite spot in Honolulu. Location is above a car dealership which made for awkward parking but no big deal. Is island hop just to come eat here. Service was excellent.

Great food at a cost! It was delicious from start to finish. A bit pricey but you will not regret it.

The dinner menu was excellent and our service was great for a Friday evening. I loved my mochi brownie dessert with the signature Gin and Tonic cocktail and would recommend for a nice dinner. It’s a somewhat small dinner and brightly lit, so if you’re looking for a candlelight ambiance I wouldn’t recommend

The location is literally inside the dealership building and there’s 2 ramps leading to the second floor. If you go on the one that’s gated, that’s the wrong side. The ramp is near the backend between the dealership and another building rather than the street ramp facing the stadium

If you have a special occasion, this is the place to go. We had a wonderfully pleasant evening which really had no low points. The ambiance was romantic and quiet and all servers were professional and knowledgeable.

We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairings. The appetizers were very creative and intriguing, each course was well cooked and high quality, and the dessert was something very fresh. At the end of the meal, they brought our birthday cake for my girlfriend, which was incredible.

Overall, it was a faultless dining experience and I am so glad we found MW restaurant.

Came in late for lunch on Wednesday and it was just us for most of it. The atmosphere was upscale and trendy. Our waiter John was attentive and very helpful.
The menu was super easy, just the prix fixe lunch menu. The food was great! The salmon was perfectly cooked, and the yuzu salad dressing as very tasty as well. Coconut cream pie to top it all off.
Really great price for the food, would definitely recommend.

Great food, great service, great experience! One of the better dinner experiences in Honolulu. Kampachi is the one.

Fantastic food, great staff, exceptional ambiance. We did the tasting menu and everything was perfectly cooked, unique, and the wine pairing went well with each dish. The entire staff at MW was attentive to all of our needs and seemed genuinely happy to be working at the establishment. Our server Kyle has been with the restaurant for over six years, even before they moved locations. Can't say enough good things about this local and family owned/run restaurant. Thank you guys!

The worst part of the restaurant is that it’s impossible to find. There is an associated cafe that closes early, so after 730 you need to find an entrance that is open through one of the car dealerships, then find a way to the third floor. Once there you can enjoy fine dining among the cars in the many show rooms that adjoin the restaurant. The restaurant is expensive. We had two drinks, one appetizer, one dessert, and two entries for a bit under $200. Everything was excellent, but realize that you are going to pay for it, and we didn’t order one of the many $60 entrees. My favorite was the butterfish.

Wow, such a wonderful dining experience! Not only was the ambience lush being surrounded by high end car dealerships, but the staff is very inviting and the food spectacular. The effort in each meal truly shines through, and the scallops absolutely rocked my world. This was by far the best restaurant we dined at while in Oahu, and I would definitely return. Hats off to the chef!
Oh, and the cocktails were also incredible - even the non-alcoholics!!

First time tried the Testing Menu. Good deal. Too full. Couldn’t finish all dishes 😋
The best is our server. He overheard our conversation and gave us a surprised birthday 🎂 cake with candles. So touched!! We will definitely go back again soon.

We ate here for a client dinner while in Honolulu. Wasn't the easiest to get to as the Uber app kept taking us to the old location but was worth the wait. The staff was great and the tasting menu was exquisite. Will definitely be going back on my next trip out.

I’ll give five start to MW Restaurant without hesitation.
They contacted me frequently via text before the actual dining date to make sure everything is well-prepared. When we approached the receptionist they showing us great hospitality and welcome. We had a table with gorgeous view and they spared great spaces with each tables for COVID-19 protection. We ordered different cocktails, three appetizers and three main course, of course we can’t get rid of desert to get a happy ending.

Enjoyable dinner. The lady host Sharon is so friendly and welcoming. Our server Tyler was very a attentive and of course the food reviews: Sooo delicious and sooo good! We’ll definitely will be back to try the rest of the menu items.

We tried the tasting menu - I loved every course of it. I was very full after the dessert. Our server Jesse was really nice and helpful.

Lunch portions are a bit small but the mochi crusted fish is the best!!! Great quality, light and fresh. The real star are the desserts - we tried the carrot cake cheesecake and mango key lime pie and both were excellent. :)

The service here is exceptional. The waiter was knowledgeable, humble, and so genuinely cared about our dining experience. When we asked him where his favorite place to go was in Hawaii, he wrote down a list and then got others to add to the list while we ate. He ended up giving us a great list of local places to dine, best hikes, and great beaches to visit. The food was delicately curated and thoughtfully timed. Go on your birthday and they give you a slice of delicious chocolate cake. Oh, the pineapple in the cocktail is to die for! Get the MW candy bar for dessert and the mochi crusted fish for the main—these were my two favorites.

We were here for a bachelorette party dinner and everything was phenomenal. All the dish we ordered were perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. The ribeye steak and braised beef melted in my mouth. Scallop dish was great, too, but the butterfish was my favorite. I don't usually like fish, but it was one of the best fish I ever had.
They also had excellent cocktails and deserts. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Thank you so much for making such a memorable dinner for us.

This is a fun spot, clean and open with lots of natural light. We stopped in for a three course lunch. All of the meats were tender and cooked to perfection. Each dish had great flavors as well; even the caesar salad was noteworthy. I'm excited to come back for dinner.
