Paia Fish Market Waikiki - Seafood restaurant in Honolulu - 2299 Kūhiō Ave., USA

Absolutely delicious, first time in my life the fish tastes like solid meat. I had fish grill before in comparison they tastes almost hollow. Great and fast service, decent value and protion size, most fish dishes tastes great. Taking one star off for the bad seafood pasta, for $25 there are very little fish & shrimps, and the pasta had too much cheese. Just avoid and order everything else.

We had an opportunity to stop at this wonderful restaurant after watching a beautiful sunset. When we arrived it was just after 6pm, and there was a short line, but the line moved quickly. While we were in line a server offered us a menu to preview and asked if we wanted to order drinks while we were in line. Great service as it keeps folks occupied as they are waiting in line. They have a wonderful selection of fish and can be served in in various preparations with your choice from different sides. I had the charbroiled snapper with fries and DH opted for the Cajun snapper with potatoes. You get a number when you order and pay at the counter. You find a seat in the restaurant and food arrives quickly. The fish was well cooked and seasoned! As we ate we noticed that the line continued to grow and by the time we finished our meal, the line went outside and wound its way around the front of the restaurant. If you have the chance to stop by this restaurant, they will not disappoint. Great food, great prices, and great service!

We visited Paia Fish Market for dinner at around 7 PM and it was packed. We had to wait for 30 minutes to order our food but it was worth it. We ordered the deep-fried shrimp 🍤 for an appetizer and it was so good. For our entrees we opted for the snapper Cajun style and fish & chips. The snapper was excellent but the fish & chips were disappointing. It’s a good place to visit if you want to try out fresh fish. The service was excellent too.

Awesome food. We were there around 120pm plenty of seating and service was quick even with our larger order. Food was flavorful, decent portions and really good. We had fish tacos, catch of the day (Cajun seasoning) mahi mahi burger, beef burger, calamari and clam chowder. I'd skip the shower next time other than that all A+ Brisk walk from the beach and casual environment.

What an awesome little Fish shop with an amazing menu and staff. We visited twice in our recent trip to Hawaii opting for Fish and Chips, Chicken Pasta, Chicken burger, Squid and the freshest of salads on the island. Highly recommend for everyone including travelling families. Yum 😋

My research did not disappoint! I wanted a local fish restaurant for lunch while in Waikiki. A 20 minute walk from our hotel at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and voila. The blackened Mahi was awesome as well as my wife's shrimp tacos and good portions for both. (See pics)

If you are looking for a place where you can get the taste of local fish, go here! My fish eating friend loved this place. They had a lot of local fishes and you can choose the way you want to cook the fish. Vegetarians get decent options here but not a lot. Found this hidden gem by accident. The price is affordable for the area!

We arrived just after the sunset and were pleasantly surprised to find only a short queue inside, which was quite agreeable to us. The staff promptly took our bar order and served us lilikoi passion fruit margaritas even before we placed our food order. We opted for the snapper, prepared both charbroiled and Cajun style. Our preference leaned towards the charbroiled version, as it maintained the natural, unaltered taste of the fish without adding extra saltiness. The food was, in a word, exceptional. As we were leaving, we noticed the queue had expanded significantly – the line now extended outside, down the stairs, and around the corner. It was a relief to realize that we had arrived just in time to enjoy our dinner without the long wait!
