Hiro's Ohana Grill - Kaunakakai, Hawaii

Rod T.

Given the plethora of positive reviews, we were very surprised that the quality of the food and especially the drinks was so poor. The fish of the day (red snapper) was excellent. The poke was possibly the worst I've ever had. There's no question that THE MAI TAI AND MARGARITA WERE DEFINITELY THE WORST I'VE EVER HAD. I'm not sure they even remembered to put tequila in the margarita. And what's with a menu that sneakily says "starting at" before listing the price of drinks? The lava cake was tasty but a bit chalky. The musician was awful, although I give her credit for trying. The sunset was great, otherwise I might struggle to give even two stars.

I came from out of town to visit my parents, but I am no tourist to Moloka'i. The atmosphere here is more than beautiful, it's breathtaking. The food is exceptional. The list of "5-star quality" dining experiences on this island is almost null, so if that's what you're looking for, this is the place to go. Price point is $$-$$$ (comparatively). You can't go wrong though - it could be fun & social, or intimate (depending on the day of the week), has live music, and is right on the water?! I wish I had more pictures to add, but here are a few.

Quick Summary
Located in Hotel Molokai, this is the nice restaurant on the island and one of the few establishments that open on weekends. Food was fantastic. Service is pretty solid. And the sunset views are spectacular. Highly recommend to book a reservation, especially on weekends

Food- 4 stars
Dined here twice. Really enjoyed their hamachi collar appetizer special, kalbi ribs, and catch of the day. Wasn't a big fan of their saimin dish on their special. Would stick with kalbi or the fresh seafood if I were to come back

Service- 5 stars
Servers were fantastic both times I dined here. They can be a bit short-staffed but luckily the beautiful views make the time go by fast

Views- 5 stars
Fantastic sunset views and able to see plenty of whales breach during the winter. Definitely a romantic and exciting venue with the ocean backdrop

Bottom Line
Good food, excellent service, and beautiful views. Definitely worth trying once while you're on Molokai

Myself and my partner had dinner on our lastnight of our stay at the hotel Molokai, our meals were superb, the Molokai slide delicious best cocktail iv'e ever had. The views out towards the sea were out of this world what a location. We both loved the live Hawaiian music whilst we dinned just added to the astmosphere. The staff were super tentive it is a must to eat here if your visiting Molokai. The only bad thing is that i didn't eat here more during our stay here, so if i return to Molokai in the future i will defo pay them a visit. Thankyou to all at the stall at the Hiro's Ohana grill Steve and Jacqui from Fife Scotland☺

We were fortunate that the restaurant squeezed us in (after our reservation message was missed). The atmosphere was delightful & right on the ocean as the sun was setting (especially with the Hawaiian live music in the background), the food delicious (and plentiful...no tiny portions) and the service exceptional. Honestly a wonderful, wonderful experience. Would highly recommend:)

We visited this restaurant on our first day visiting Molokai. It is oceanfront and has a great view. We had lunch and we enjoyed our meal. The prices were reasonable and there was one server/bartender Paulette for the entire place. She was friendly and had to hustle to keep all of her tables happy. She did a great job! We will be back.

The restaurant is right next to the water with plenty of tables with views of the water (which is a bit murky though). The hamburger was delish, but the Korean beef was overcooked and chewy. On the otherhand, the tempura that came with it was very good.

This is truely a family owned and operated restaurant. Most of the staff are related. Menu could use a few new options or daily specials. but the food is very good. Actually met the cooking staff. Really cool folks. It's a bit pricey for some of the menu items , but most hotel restaurants are. Try the eggrolls and garlic chicken, they were delicious.
