Alan Wong's - Honolulu

Okay, this place has good food, but there's something missing. Maybe because it's up and I feel like the blankets are somehow closed or something. But overall the presentation is great. Freshly clean tasting entrees. Nothing I really like compared to other foods. Small portions and high price tags I didn't really like much

Average food. Not even comparable to Roys, who easily strike these hands. Very good service. The lobster bisque was probably the best we had. The seafood dumplings were dry and tasteless. The beef ripple shell was more like a pot roast, nothing special. The salmon was perfectly cooked, but nothing woke me up again. The chocolate cake was much too airy and had only a basic cocoa taste on it, nothing rich nor unique.

Always a five-star experience! The service is perfect. The food is perfect. The wine is perfect. I love this place. Make a reservation early to avoid a mafia scene at the host station.

A friend recommended this place and it lives up to his call. We tied the tasting menu that was $90 per person and order an additional appetizer and dessert. We were filled before the dessert class was finished. The food was delicious and drinks were good. And of course, their desserts had to die. There are parking options for $5 worth it. Street parking could be difficult.

What a let down. I suppose my wife and I had high expectations from all the 4- and 5-star reviews but, honestly, Alan Wong 's didn 't live up to the hype at all. We went there last year so I can 't remember exactly what we ate but the execution was certainly not up to the standards from the mainland (we had a salad, a seafood dish, a meat dish, and something else). Perhaps this is the best high-end fusion that Oahu has to offer but compared to similar restaurants in Chicago, New York, Toronto, Paris, etc. Alan Wong 's does not come close. The only positive about our experience was the service--but good service is expected at this price point. Overall we were disappointed and will not return; save your hard-earned money and try many of the cheaper (and better tasting) restaurants in Honolulu.
