Great experience! - It was surprising having the Luau in the international market. We walked though it a few days earlier and didn't see it. It is a pop up site. They did an amazing job. The entertainment was amazing. The dancing was great. Food was tasty. The staff were super polite and helpful. An overall great experience.

Fun night to experience a piece of Hawaii - We picked this mainly because I wanted to go to a luau and it was within a walking distance from our hotel. I think it's perfect especially if you've never been to one. You get to experience the culture, food, and performance all in one and you get to interact with the performers.

Prime Location, Interactive and Entertaining - I came to the luau with friends and family and experienced the luau in the first row, middle table. Location: Queens Waikīkī Luau is located in a prime, centralized location which is perfect for those staying in the area. It was very easy to find in the international marketplace and being in the mall was not a distraction like one may be hesitant to think. The setup was perfect in which you can hear and watch the entertainers with no distractions and they kept us very engaged. Entertainment: In the beginning, they held interactive stations that allowed the guests to learn and participate in different cultural activities, like dancing. Everything was timed perfectly and participation was optional so no one is forced to do anything! Food + Drinks: We then proceeded to eat dinner which we lined up and they served you. They had tons of vegetarian options and their kalua pork + stir fry noodles were my favorite. They had a wide menu of signature cocktails which were all amazing. They served pineapple appetizers to munch on while watching the entertainers. Service: Workers were very attentive and interactive. They were great at reading the crowd and moving the crowd, cracking jokes, inviting participants to the stage, and inviting guests for seconds during dinner. Overall I would recommend this luau to my friends, family, and visitors who want to participate in Hawaiian culture. It's a great activity for all ages and can also see this as a great activity to do for those on business trips with their team or with family and friends!

Not a traditional luau. - First off, this luau takes place in the center of an outdoor mall. We were told to arrive by 5pm which we did. What ever went on the make shift stage from 5pm until 7pm was nothing even close to a show. Dinner was served at 6ish. Our table number 17, was able to get up at 6:45. Dinner was good. The actual entertainment was from 7-7:30. The 1 drink included was a tiny Mai tai. Would not recommend.

SUCH A WASTE of Hundreds of dollars. Show is in a crowded MALL!!!!! - Just need to be REAL this Luau is in the MIDDLE of a Crowded shopping mall. You can see the entire show if you go to the second level of the mall. I was EXTREMELY disapointed only because of the COST. I was expecting for my family of $681.98 to be wowed and it was OK at best. If the show was like $50-75 a person including the cheap plate of buffet food. I wouldnt be writing a review. DO NOT MAKE the mistake of upgrading your ticket to premium. You still get the same cheap entertainment from 3 tables back. The .50 cent beads and only problem is to HALF justify your ticket you have to drink the MaiTais that are cheap rum but the rum helps the annoyance. The performers were good and so was the host. Which is EXPECTATATION for almost $700!!! We went to Cirque de Soleil WAAAAY better value and a NICE dinner for half the cost. So PLEASE dont waste your money on this trip. Everyone around us was feeling same way - I wish they didnt have a GET A FREE GIFT QR code at the event for people that wrote a 5star review... cause this is likely where all the 5 stars came from. If you want a AUTHENTIC luau pay the ubber ride and go to the REAL thing on the beach - sure wish we had!

Don't waste your money - We paid $350 for a luau in a flipping shopping center! Food was less than average, the MC was annoying. Not what I expected at all.

Don’t Fall for This Luau! Watch it FREE, it’s in a Mall! - We were disappointed for the price. The luau is in a commercial mall with stores overlooking the stage, so even a $700 front table felt public. Anyone can watch from the upper floors and they do, getting a free show when you paid $500-900 for multiple people. Food was mediocre, some jokes felt inappropriate, and parking is pricey. Tourist trap—wouldn’t return and don’t fall for this one. There are so many better options and for the price, drive a little and see an actual not mall one that anyone can watch FREE.
