UMI by Vikram Garg

Loved it. From the greeting from the delightful Abby, and Kara, to the service from Katie, to a killer LocoMoco, this is an upscale and wonderful place to dine. Dress smart casual and enjoy a wonderful experience! Come to the Halepuna hotel lobby and enjoy life! VictorB

Located in the Halepuna Hotel in Waikiki, across the street from the more famous Halekulani Hotel, this restaurant is a hidden gem that offers free valet parking. The atmosphere is refined without being stuffy, and the dishes are sophisticated and delicious. The chef easily and graciously accommodated my partner's vegetarian preferences and offered several stunning choices that were not on the menu. I enjoyed a creative salad, an unusual non-alcoholic drink, and the best branzino I have ever had. And our dessert choice, the pavlova, was light and delightful. I highly recommend Umi for dinner, and we plan to go back for breakfast, as well.

We were so fortunate to experience the tasting menu at this exciting, innovative seafood restaurant. There is much variety in the menu (my husband had wagyu beef) but seafood is the star. We had the tasting menu with an explosion of flavors and textures, from lacy squid ink wafers to lobster bisque, scallop with risotto, and a stunning passion fruit pavlova with creme anglaise to finish. Such a talented chef and exceptional food and service. Highly recommend.

Вот короткий, аппетитный English review для Google Maps ☀️🍳 Perfect hotel restaurant for breakfast. The shakshuka here is absolutely delicious — rich tomato sauce, perfectly cooked eggs, full of flavor and very comforting. Nice morning atmosphere, relaxed vibe, and great start to the day. Highly recommended if you’re staying at the hotel or just looking for a really good breakfast spot.

We absolutely loved our stay at Halepuna and dining experience at UMI by Vikram Garg, every meal felt like a celebration of flavor and care. Breakfast each morning was a standout part of our day. The menu offered beautifully presented, thoughtfully curated dishes and especially liked the parfait, french toast, and unique local twists on classics, all served with precision and warmth. What truly made the experience special was the service. Day after day, the staff delivered warm, attentive hospitality that made us feel genuinely welcomed. From recommending perfect dishes to making sure every glass was refilled and every preference remembered, months later I still think of those days fondly and wish the team lot of success ahead ! Lots of love from India!
