In Short
This huge, glass-terraced restaurant provides an almost mystical ambience, setting the stage for a cutting edge menu of Japanese, Hawaiian and American cuisine. Service is impeccable, and the open kitchen (inspired by Wolfgang Puck's Spago,) sends wafting scents of spicy flavors throughout the dining room. When it comes to his menu, which changes daily, Alan Wong goes out of his way to ensure that food is unique. Creative dishes feature fresh local blends, including Kauai purple potatoes, Kalua pork and fresh furikake salmon. , you may never eat at another restaurant in Oahu. Desserts run the gamut from light sorbets to the famed "Crunch Bar" (layers of chocolate, macadamia nuts and mousse).

The service at Alan Wong's was impeccable. Their rolls were delicious, and I really enjoyed The Coconut, their signature dessert.

Alan Wong's is my favorite restaurant in Hawaii. the great food and service are the best. The appetizer duo was the Soup n Samwich, which was an interesting combo. I thought I wouldn't like the chilled tomato soup, but it was REALLY good, especially when you took a bite of sandwich then sipped the soup.

Lived in Hawaii and was there when Alan Wong's opened. It is without a doubt the best of the best. There are so many things that we liked about the restaurant. Its out of the way place, its definitely different, its upstairs in a building that you would not think a restaurant is in. When you make your reservations they take your name and when you are seated the person who seats you and your waiter from then on uses your name. its like you have been coming there forever. The Manager stops by and ask how things are going. There is usually a "special treat" from Alan, maybe its just a juice drink, or a small appetizer, and that is also followed up by a dessert piece of something at the end. The rolls are delicious, finish one, and the roll boy is there again; the water glass is never empty. My favorite is when the person brings you meal and explains everything on it, rather than some places that when someone brings you the plate they have to ask you what you ordered. The waiters don't start as waiters, they start as the bus boys and work their way up, the learn how to be a waiter and all the different kinds of food that are prepared. When you go to AW's you are treated as someone who has been coming for years, even if it is you first trip there. Yes it crowded, most great restaurants are. And the awards won by AW is overwhelming. And the best part is that AW is usually there. There are some restaurants that the owner, top chef are rarely there.
