We wanted to eat some seafood and have not been to Wai' Olu Ocean Cuisine in years. Decided to give it a try and headed to Waikiki right before sunset. Perfect timing as the indoor/outdoor seating at Wai' Olu is perfect for the sunset and view. From the outset here the limited staff was polite, engaging and attentive. The Hostess got us through the COVID-19 check with a quick scan of our vaccination QR codes and I.D. We were seated on the lanai overlooking the park with a sparse ocean view. Our waitress was a superstar handling the entire restaurant solo and doing a great job. She visited often and was very professional and gracious. We started with a bit of Sushi and went for the Firecracker Roll. This was the best dish of the night and we loved it. Super fresh and the Habanero Masago was outstanding. Just a bit of heat. Next up was the Sesame Tuna Tataki which was our second favorite dish of the night. Lightly seared fresh Ahi with perfectly Pickled Onions and a fresh, light sauce. The Sensei Farms Hydroponic Lettuce was perfect to share and we loved the fresh greens and dressing. I ordered the Hebi which is a local Spearfish. While the menu stated that it was served with Creamed Kahuku Corn, both me and my Wife couldn't taste the corn flavor at all.
The fish was a bit dry and pretty flavorless. My Wife ordered the House Made Squid Ink Pasta which came in a bowl and looked like a mess. The Seafood was small and unrecognizable. They use small Bay Scallops which are tasteless. We both thought this dish was just ok.
So this was a 50/50 review with the Appetizers and Salads getting high marks and the entrees missing the mark. I liked the atmosphere and service.
