Pounders Restaurant

Located at the Polynesian center, where all the tourist come. Everything was okay. The supposedly be a wagyu patty taste like average burnt meat, pretty hard. The presentation of the dish is pretty poor, reminded me of low budget restaurant food. The server was nice but pretty low energy. I’m not upset but I’m not blown away either. I came here and I was fed. Kinda wish I went somewhere else instead.

The food (the part we actually received) was good. Our waitress was good. My wife's fries were very old and stale. She asked for new ones. It took at least 10 minutes to get the new fries... by that time, we were already done eating. Bad first impression.

Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend eating here. Our tour guide brought us here.

We were here to enjoy the PCC. This is a convenient place to eat. It offers indoor and outdoor seating. I had a Mushroom Swiss Burger and my wife had the Hui Hui chicken. Both dishes were excellent, in fact delicious. Lots of seating but it can get very busy with the large crowds here.

Although the pork sliders are on the appetizer menu, it is a lot of food. Fries are flavorful and crispy and the pork was slightly above average. But the coleslaw was bland. In summary, not quite worth the price. My server was super friendly but slow/mostly inattentive. The sweet hostess offered to set up a small fan since there were no indoor seats available. The atmosphere was nice.

Pros: Located in the Market area of Polynesian Cultural Center, clean restrooms, and desserts like fresh baked cookies. Portions are large and food is tasty. Cons: Extremely slow service (reservation at 5:30 pm food served at 6:30 pm). The outside seating area, tables are too close to each other especially when a table has 20 people seated plus six (all in one area). Sound travels from guest so a little loud in the outside enclosure.

We had a great meal. The surf and turf poke bowl was delicious. The shrimp were fresh and delicious. Large portions for the money. Great service!

Nice place to grab dinner every once in a while when visiting family on the North Shore. The staff is nice, but seem over-worked, and so even though none of them are standing around, service is kinda sparse. The food was good, but kinda expensive (to be expensive I suppose). They sell cookies (and slices if cake) at the front that are really good, so I'd recomend that on your way out (you don't have to dine to buy the cookies). They seemed to struggle to ring up the cake though, as it took them like, 4 minutes to do it.

Fantastic family dinner!! when we arrived we asked for special seating and they were very very accomidating. the waitress was very aware of allergies and how the food was made. we oreder the MANGO PIZZA which is to die for the Surf and Turf with poke was delicious, stake cooked well and the poke out of this world.
