Very attentive staff even during the lunch rush. Can't find a dish I don't like. Gotta try everything.

I wanted to eat at the bar because I was hungry and didn't want to watch the "show"; thought I could have my meal prepared in the kitchen. Due to short staffing, I ended up eating at the Teppanyaki table. The food was typical for this style of restaurant. Not Benihana but the chef was friendly. Curiosly, there were several birthday celebrants at surrounding tables.

Great atmoshpere. It was fun sitting at the counter. I think I'd order something other than the fish and chips the next time I'm in town. Very tasty fries though.

Big Fan of Chef Ming Tsai. Unfortunately, he was not in the restaurant on my first visit to this highly acclaimed East-West Cuisine restaurant. The Hawaiian waters caught tuna was overpowered by rice vinegar seasoning. My waiter offered to correct it but I don't like wasting food. I just ate more bread after each bite. The risotto was made with sushi rice on the al dente side which offered a chalky crunch. I prefer arborio rice for risottos. The scallops in my main entree were well prepared. When at Blue ginger, why not try the refreshing ginger ale?. To end my my meal, I had the chocolate cake which was close to decadent.

Classic Diner food and very good. Brought my kids and they loved it. Great ambiance. A must if you are visiting the Hudson Valley.

If you enjoy Hyderabadi cuisine, this is the place. Great selection. Attentive service. Delicious food. www.ranibistro.com and check out their menu. I'll have to go back a few more times before I give them 5 stars.

Nice ambiance typical of a teppanyaki style restaurant. This night I opted not to eat at the "show table". I was hungry so I spent the evening on the side of the restaurant with the sushi bar. I lucked out since all sushi was half-price. I ordered the chirashi bowl (chef selection of sashimi over sushi rice)accompanied by miso soup and salad along with two orders of the hamachi (yellowtail) sashimi. Unfortunately, the miso soup was warm. This is a pet peeve of mine, why do restaurants serve warm soup when it is supposed to be hot? On a cold Fall evening, hot soup is in order. My rating is average because of the service and miso soup blemish. Otherwise, the quality of the sashimi was to be expected.

How can you go wrong with seafood when you're neighbor is the Hawaii Fish Auction? Very reasonable prices, great specials and ample seating. Parking is free too! Everything's take-out, so grab your food and have lunch pier side and watch life around Honolulu Harbor. The perfect place for former Hawaii resident's returning to Oahu and Jones-ing for "local kine grindz".

For the best Thai food on O'ahu, this is the place. Low key and minus the glitz of Thai restaurants sporting white table clothes; you get your money's worth. If you wanted to try Thai cooking yourself, they have a market of select Thai ingredients and staples. I tried the Panang Curry, pork, basil, chiles and potatoes, and Jasmine rice for $5.25. Very fragrant and the heat was medium but wasn't overbearing. Again, I didn't save room for dessert but they had homemade banana bread. Parking is in the back; don't be diswayed by the lack of parking in front. The front of the restaurant/market is opened by a garage door!

Ended up having the House Salad and Surf and Turf; grilled 12 oz. sirloin and seared scallops $22.99. The temperature I ordered was medium rare, kitchen result = medium. It could've used more seasoning... The 2004 Seghesio Zinfadel was not properly stored but was enjoyed. At least our server was hospitable.

House specialties noted on a menu are there for a reason; they are what diners come to expect. Here at this deli, I tried the Tappan Zee. Generous Roast beef, all white meat turkey and pastrami on a toasted sesame roll, lettuce, tomato, red Bermuda onion and cole slaw. Of course, a deli sandwich would not be complete with a pickle. It was very good. I took the other half to-go and enjoyed it as I write this review. I only wish that I had room for the Warm noodle pudding. I'll just visit their second restuarant in Vernon, CT for that.

I've been frequently dining at this restaurant for two dishes, Pho Tai (thinly sliced beef tenderloin and rice noodles in a savory broth) and Green Papaya Salad. A lot of restaurants serve pho, but they are generous with the rice noodles, beef and garnish (fresh bean sprouts, basil, jalapeno peppers and lemon). The green papaya salad is served with shrimp and shrimp crackers. Pho is great on cold rainy day... One of the better choices for pho in Honolulu.

Yes, this is the best Mexican restaurant in Hawaii. Found in Kaneohe, it is off the beaten path but well worth it. Parking is tight so go early...

Korean restaurants are very similar around Honolulu. Entrepreneurial owners competing for customers where you can find a restaurant on every block. Korean cuisine can compete in this market because the food is flavorful and served-up fast. The great thing about these restaurants are the side dishes served with your entrees. Here, you not only get kim chee but six other types. You have to try the haemul pah jun (seafood pancake). This version has a slightly crisp outer texture and ample tidbits of shrimp, squid and octopus. The soy sauce for dipping has a hint of sesame and chili pepper. The chef owner is found at this location. However, there is the original location with the same name on 725 Kapiolani Boulevard.

This restaurant fits into the trendy scene of the Uptown Area in Minneapolis. "Food from the Hot Zones" is a great concept where you can find a wide selection of foods from countries that you can dream of visiting. Restaurants that try different cuisines falter since the authenticity of the recipe is lost. The kitchen staff never disappoints. The interior design is very cool and you'll even have fun in the washroom.

Fine dining restaurants are usually found around Honolulu, this one is on the Westside of the island on the JW Marriot Resort Ko Olina. This is a romantic location where you can stroll around one the lagoons and catch a spectacular Hawaiian sunset. You can then treat yourself to a well-prepared meal and fine seafood selections.

If you missed Chef Kelvin Ro's Kahala Moon restaurant, look no further. This upscale market & grill serves great salads and desserts. Another place that's just outside Waikiki's crowds where you can get excellet pacific rim cuisine. You can also find Chef Kelvin at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific up the street.

Homestyle Cooking is how this restaurant is described. Although, it has an Italian bent... One of the best places in Honolulu for sphagetti and meatballs. For dessert, this Tiramisu is well done!

The awards keep coming for one of the founders of Hawaii Regional Cuisine. Any "foodie" should make a reservation at this unlikely address for a top tier fine dining restaurant. The food is so good, you don't even need a view to attract repeat customers.
