Pagoda Floating Restaurant

Nice buffet ,cool koy fish , scrumptious deserts!

I love the place so relaxing and the price of the buffet is affordable.

Breakfast Buffet is a good deal. Only $10 for a hotel guest (as of December 2017). Food is not super good but delicious enough with great service. Staffs are friendly and kind, too. Ulua or Giant Trevally is something to see there at the Floating Restaurant. Especially, kids will love watching and feeding fish.

Prime rib was melt in your mouth amazing, poke was fresh and tasty. The koi pond was loaded with huge koi. All in all price and food this place was real super. Saw an award walking in 2018 best of Honolulu and after eating at the buffet I was impressed. Crab was so so which is why they didn’t get 5 stars. Our waiter was also amazing and some of the best service I’ve had in a long while.

Nice place for gatherings. Service was great I had no problem getting my food on time. I chose the buffet..

Many choose of food and ambiance is nice. Good for taking pictures too

We were very disappointed. The buffet was cold and the dishes were not replenished. Even though the waitress was pleasant and friendly, all four of us commented that the food was really lacking.

OVER PRICED! $45 for an adult, I would've expected the food, all of the food to taste a lot better, it was either salty, or dry, or not a good flavor. The inside of the restaurant could use an upgrade, they have a lot of Koi and some turtles outside and around the restaurant, but if you look past that, it's just not a good buffet. I definitely don't plan to go back.

Connected to the Pagoda hotel, this is the best and most relaxing venue for the seasoned traveler who is new to the island, just getting married, or revisiting after a long awaited life journey.

The staff are friendly and amazing. Had a wedding here, the catering staff are amazing and friendly. Could not ask for better service and a great team.

Popular place among the locals to eat crab legs once a year. Homey and casual with enough variety of foods to try. Fun to feed the koi in the pond surrounding the restaurant. First seating is best.

It's the place to go and have a wonderful time with family/friends. The buffet has a selections of varieties of dishes to choose from. The children enjoy every bit especially the deserts.

The restaurant was empty fairly early in the evening, so by 7:30 or 8 they weren't refilling the sushi. We did still have a very enjoyable meal. Even though they close at 9:30 p.m., we were asked around 8:15 p.m. if we plan to go back to the buffet, and then again at 8:30 p.m. if you plan to go back to the buffet. Like I said still had an enjoyable meal.

Love this place, the staff is awesome, food is great, family setting and atmosphere. Must see and Must eat!!!

The atmosphere was amazing! Very cool building and koi pond! The food was excellent and they were respectful of our wishes for a corner table! Definitely will be coming back!

Positives - the koi pond with lots of active beautiful fish, the scenery around the restaurant, the service. Negatives - the food really was bland. And for the price of the buffet I would've paid less than $10 on the mainland for that quality of buffet food. $20 is too steep for what you are served. If I had my child with me I'm sure he would've enjoyed the variety but I was underwhelmed. Once I walked around the neighborhood and saw so many pan-asian restaurants I regretted not trying one of them.

I live across the st and finally tried it today and loved it. The price was great and the staff was friendly and helpful. The choices were not a lot but it was delicious. I'll be back next week for a cheaper special since I don't eat a whole lot. Great job to all the staff and cooks.

Food was mediocre. A glass of beer broke just by picking it up and it spilled on a few of our friends and no consolation was made. Service was slow.

Took my daughter along with her mom and grandma to celebrate her passing a major nursing licensing exam. The Pagoda Floating Restaurant has a buffet lunch consisting of many local dishes and we describe some as comfort food. The garden atmosphere and koi pon were very nice and the workers friendly.

Food was alright... a little pricey for what it is. Nice to be able to walk through the garden and check out the fish. My son loves it

Had the lunch buffet and it was a bargain, 19.95 for adults, 17.00 for seniors. The food was pretty good, had a wonderful selection of desserts, and the buffet included clams and mussels as well as beef, teriyaki fish, chicken, fried noodles, poke, full salad bar, and some tofu and vegetable choices. The scenic koi ponds are serene and beautiful.

First the name doesn't match the restaurant. The restaurant does not float. It's way overly priced even for Hawaii when you look at what's being served. There were birds flying on the inside. Staff was not very friendly nor aware of table service needed. Not a place that I will visit again. My friends and I were very disappointed.

Very nice 👍 friendly food was delicious 😋

Buffet has a nice variety with beef, chicken, fish, and shellfish with hot and cold foods. The dessert line is also yummy and the kids, even the big ones, enjoyed the topping bar for the icecream. Service was on it and friendly. Price is reasonable.

The buffet is ok with a variety of local foods.The atmosphere & service is excellent. Such a beautiful, serene setting to make ur meals there more memorable. This is it place to be to relax, unwind, & dine, & enjoy the beautiful, picturesque surroundings. Peaceful & charming.

Good food weak service on refills, table clearing, and initial drink orders. May be a result of being understaffed. Bring your hunger and patience.

Even with the over haul/revamp with the menu as we heard. It's nothing to go back to. Loud and raunchy. Went there for my birthday, with a party of 9, was hard to communicate. Desserts was a freezer, unacceptable.

Prime rib was either over cooked or reheated because meat was actually falling apart. King crab had lots of water in it. Did not think it was worth the $46!

Service was very good. The food was the best I had on Valentinesday in years

Went there for a party at lunch time. We all had the buffet. Solid food quality and taste. We also had snow crab legs...which is an optional item...extra cost too. For the money...around $20+ per person...best value buffet on the island. Parking is ok...$1 per hour. The restaurant is old...but charming and always brings back memories from past years of events there. Staff is great...attentive and helpful. You need to go at least once in your life. We'll be back again for sure.

I simply love the old Honolulu ambiance. The food is more then adequate and reasonably priced. I always try for an window seat overlooking their koi pond.

I occasionally come here for breakfast. I have a few clients that love meeting here.The staff is always pleasant and the food in the restaurant is always consistent. They can accommodate large parties and events. The have a paid parking garage and street parking is easy.

It was nice and cozy,and the food was great...

Pagoda Floating Restaurant & Catering is the JAM. Service is incredible, the spices are amazing, and the navratan korma makes me melt every time. The veg biryani is also amazing.

The fish and water surrounding the restaurant make it a one of a kind experience!

Not worth the time or calories. Nice setting, but food and service are awful!

Relaxing. Love it here

Very good food, great selection of food and desserts, seafood and poke, decent prices, helpful and friendly staff, all you can eat.

I enjoyed shrimp, clams, crab, vegetables, French toast and dessert! Very good buffet. And I'm not a buffet person.

Honestly wasn't the best. I've had it many times before and this time the food just wasn't that great in my opinion. I mean there were many different options of food and if your big on seafood, this is a good option for you.

A place for food, not atmosphere.Good food, we had the Saturday buffet, the prime rib was tasty and tender though fatty, the various fish was good, vegetables were cooked well with plenty of flavor. The sushi was okay, it tasted like it was just past its prime. It is buffet on the weekends and plated M-Th so make sure you are looking at the right online menu.The restaurant is a place you go to for the food, the atmosphere is a little dated as in stuck in the 60's and 70's. With a good refurbishing it could be nuce again. The one complaint I have is the restrooms, they need a deep clean, some dirt had been there a long time.4 stars for food, 3 stars for physicality of the place.

Food was delicious and good lunch price for all you can eat.

Always an enjoyable experience when visiting relatives in Honolulu. They handle groups well.

Ample dish choices. Food is not bad for the price. Kids will enjoy feeding the koi fishes.

This is a great buffet style restaurant and the food is really nice and hot

The food was not hot. They need to have more items if it's a buffet. 1 chicken, 1 pork, no shrimp, and not many meat options. Not that great at all.

Beautiful place and landscaping.. We had the lunch buffet..very enjoyable. You can also feed the koi. Love it!

Go for the buffet-definitely get your money's worth. Spend a few minutes walking around outside enjoying the koi and ponds.

Still the same from 25+ years ago. Service is good. Food is good. Price is right. Chantilly and guava cake was AMAZING. I live in Vegas now but each time I go back home, Pagoda is always a must visit. Love the koi pond and bridge

The prime rib was excellent and the snow crab warmer never went empty. Excellent service and waitresses. A "go to" place for locals and kama'ainas.
