Coral Kingdom Restaurant in Oahu

Tons of employees watching you, following you around, telling you not to touch things. Great fun 🙄

Great Hawaiian food. Reasonable prices and slow service allows you to explore the shop. Lots of beautiful items like shells, jewlery, ukuleles, and many souvenir to choose from.

Huli Huli Chicken!!! Let me just say that this charming, family-operated establishment is a true gem! Tucked away on the Windward side of the island, alongside Kualoa Ranch, most people don't know that they have an amazing cafe that's open for lunch, and in addition to the variety of souvenirs, jewelry, and keepsakes, their cafe has a wonderful variety of entrees...both standard and local items...great portion sizes and very reasonably priced! Being a "foodie" myself, I will have to say that Coral Kingdom serves the BEST Huli Huli Chicken on the planet! Now, "Huli Huli" means "to turn repeatedly"...so this is rotisserie-style chicken cooked over local "kiawe" wood...which is Hawaiian mesquite. Hawaii specializes in this type of chicken...and Ive had it on 4 Hawaiian islands, at numerous places...and these guys are the best.

Good eats too. Good spot to stop and do a little shopping

The staff are incredibly kind and thoughtful, the food was great.of the 6 of us, we each got something pretty different and everyone was happy. They even have cappuccinos and other coffee items.They sell leis, jewelry, wooden things, carvings, tikis and mugs, clothing, etc. It's wonderful:)

We stopped here for lunch during our guided tour. Meal portions were very generous but they tasted just okay. Curry was slightly underseasoned.Gift shop was nice but we were not interested to buy any gifts on our first day so didn't take any pictures.

Scammers!!The taller lady will pressure you into buying stuff, and she is relentless!We bought a ring for $159 and looked online later, they are worth $80!!Huge scam! Everything is overpriced!All the ladies are Korean, what a shame on the korean people to have disgusting scammers like this.

Nice and excessive. They cater a lot to the tourist.

Their veggie burger combo is delicious! The patty isn't dry and the fries are nice and crunchy

The place was nice and tidy. Clean and great customer service. The food was tasty and fresh. Affordable prices. Souvenir shop seemed a bit expensive.

Food was great, glad we found the spot!

First time to go inside, they have many nice things for souvenirs, I purchase macadamia nuts coated with cinnamon. Yum!

Cute gift shop on the side of the road. Lots of shells and jewelry (on the pricey side), definitely geared more towards tourists. Small snack bar, convenient for kids who are tired of driving around the island 😉

Very good. Food was very fresh and good flavors. The folks working the counter were very nice and did a wonderful job. Will stop there again.

Very attractive and articulate.

Love this souvenir shop!

Food was mediocre and overpriced. What disturbed me was they had a cat in a small trap out back, trying desperately to escape, which I noticed as our tour bus pulled away. I called and left a message inquiring but got no response. ???????

Tourist trap with jacked up prices and sales reps... Didn't buy anything after getting a bad taste in my mouth from the obvious scam it is.

Great selection of gifts here. Staff are very friendly. And they have one of the only bathrooms around.

This is a nice place to eat, have an alcoholic drink or buy memorable gifts. The food is great and comes out fast. The workers are local people with friendly attitudes.

Great place to stop for lunch. They have a good selection of items to browse afterwards. The staff is very friendly. You might find better deals on shirts and dressed elsewhere though. They were a bit on the pricey side.

Shell collection Awesome

Chicken was dry. The guy taking my order didn't know what was in the stuff. Example I asked if there was onions in the macaroni salad he said no. There was. And when i went to the shop they made me feel like I'm a theft even though I had NO bag or anything in my hands. When I go back I won't go here.

Nice place for local favorites and all items made with coral are sold in the gift shop.

Lots 2 look at, very pricey and pushy sales people.

Unique but nothing worth buying. It's a tourist trap.

Good food and nice scenery...

Disappointing. This was a scheduled lunch stop on an island bus tour. Not really anything of interest (hence no photos with this review). The cafeteria fare was average and kinda overpriced. The Loco Moco was not at all the special plate lunch it was billed to be. The gift shop was large filled with souvenirs.

All we got were Maui Brewing bikini blondes but they were the perfect drink and nice and cold after the two-hour UTV adventure at Kualoa Ranch.

Good selection of items. Closes early. Felt like we were preventing them from going home by looking around.

The reason I’m giving this place 4 stars is that I’m comparing it to similar tour pit stops/ tourist shops. The food is around 10-12 dollars for a plate, 7-10 for a sandwich combo, and 13-15 for daily special plates. The experience of having traditional hawaiian dishes on your tour is pleasant. The loco moco is recommended, as well as the huli huli chicken.

This store has the best macadamia nuts! try the cinnamon flavor, it's their original recipe. Good place to stop by for lunch. The view of Kualoa mountain is beautiful.

am visiting the island for a few months and I have heard a mixture of things from people about this restaurant. I was a little hesitant to try, but figured I had nothing to lose. I LOVED IT!!!!This food was seriously so amazing. Totally local food and extremely good. I tried the huli huli chicken and the loco moco. The Loco Moco was one of the best ones I have had on the island. I talked with the manager and he said it was their secret family recipe. I will definitely eat here again and bring my friends.

The food at the coral was amazing, good food portions,ihad the loco Moco!!!

Over priced you can find the same items at the marketplace

Good prices, personable people.

Huli huli chicken is great! Also love the cinnamon and Koha coffee macadamias which they make on site

The Usual Tourist Trap with More Sales People than Customers.Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice is Awesome.

A great place to have meals. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Plan on coming back again.

Tourist trap. High pressure sales from the short gypse woman.

The food was very good and huge servings for the price! Definitely a must food hit!

Stopped here to get some coral and some sea shells to bring back to the mainland for some friends. Was highly disappointed with most of the stuff in the store. However the stuff is very beautiful, when you turn it over it's not from Hawaii. A lot of it says it was made in Guatemala or Indonesia or somewhere like that but it is not made in Hawaii. I didn't go on vacation to Hawaii to buy Trinkets and things that came from Mexico or Ecuador. This is actually a big problem with the things that I'm finding all over the aisle. So pay attention because most of the stuff came from a different country. For me I didn't want to buy seashells from a foreign place while I was in Hawaii. I did buy my daughter a couple Hawaiian style dresses while we were in Hawaii from the store. But I doubt that they were made in Hawaii either. I honestly felt like I was just in another Asian store that sells Asian trinkets to tourists. The trinkets just happened to look real beachy.

The service was quick but the food left much to be desired. The presentation was good. I ordered the garlic shrimp and it had a lot of seasoning on the outside shell but the inside was rather bland. The macaroni salad is average. The French fries needed salt (personal preference) wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here.

A huge yummy meal for a good price. There's so much to look at as well.

Beautiful souvenirs for the entire family

Totally not what I was expecting. I felt nauseated after eating there. They miss the salad on the same place as the main dish which gets Curry sauce on the salad. The salad is simply lettuce and tomatoe. I would turn the place into a breakfast restaurant. The location is awesome, it's a shame it's being utilized so poorly.

It was cool! Neat. I always wanted to stop by there, even though my wallet, neither my eyes where too prepared. Plenty of parking, excellent dining, and rare spectacular unique gift shop shopping await. There is a med.-large dining room. Impressive I hope to visit there in a prepared to shop and eat visit once or a few to es a year. A dandy.

Very friendly and helpful staff. A large assortment of quality Hawaiian made items, as well as tee shirts and hats.They also have food available, such as fresh made burgers and fries. Assorted cold beverages available as well.

Good portions. Great smokey Hawaiian bbq.

Beautiful place. Great variety.... awesome customer service
