The Crouching Lion

Could not have asked for a more beautiful, relaxing and delicious lunch! First, the view is just breathtaking! The food and atmosphere are probably the best on the island. Our waitress Angela was spot on, friendly and very knowledgeable of the food and drink menu. 10/10 would recommend coming to dine here. Handicapp parking and restrooms available.

We arrived here dusty and fabulous after a fabulous ATV tour at nearby Kualoa Ranch. We were graciously greeted and immediately shown a table. Our server Anthony was friendly and efficient. The focaccia was the best we’ve ever had - fluffy interior and light and crispy crust with black sesame seeds- do not skip this!! The sliders were also delicious and those two items would have been enough for the two of us. We also had a table near a window with a beautiful view of a full moon and its reflection in the water. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Amazing food and taste. Their shrimp has a delicious buttery and salty flavor. The atmosphere is fun with live music. We got the loaded volcano French fries, waygu sliders, shrimp, and the brisket tacos to share. I love the shareable option so you can get a variety of food.

Great atmosphere overlooking the waters and classy ambiance. We were a big group - 12 adults and 12 kids so felt like they were a bit hesitant to seat us but eventually we figured it out and afterwards their service was great. Many vegetarian options, surprisingly. Green onion pan cakes weee fabulous. Vege fried dumplings were great too. The fried tofu was too soft and no flavors inside - not recommended. Crème brûlée dessert was decent. The green stuffed peppers lacked substance. Vege roll was surprisingly good too. Drinks were amazing too. They made a custom rum sour that was great. Mai Tai was good too. Overall a good experience and many vege options also so will recommend.

The Crouching Lion is an absolute gem and easily the most memorable dining experiences we’ve had on Oahu. The ocean views are breathtaking, and being told by our waiter that we might spot whales from our table made the setting feel truly special and unlike anywhere else we’ve been. The food was outstanding from start to finish. The cocktails were beautifully crafted and refreshing, especially the espresso martini and watermelon spritz. The oysters were the best we’ve ever had, the poke was incredibly fresh, and every dish felt elevated. The kimchi fried rice was packed with flavor, the larb with lettuce wraps was bright and perfectly balanced, and the uni pasta was our favorite: rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The staff was so kind, patient and attentive. With incredible fo
