The Surfing Pig Hawaii

"⭐ 1,000,000 OUT OF 10 STARS ⭐ The Surfing Pig delivered one of the best dining experiences ever. If you're on Oahu, The Surfing Pig is a must-visit. Chef James deserves enormous praise. It's one thing for a restaurant to have a few great dishes; it's another to serve an entire feast without a single miss. Every plate that came to the table reflected incredible attention to detail, and it was clear that a tremendous amount of care went into creating such a memorable meal. Our group of seven ordered the bigger family meal, which gave us the chance to try everything the restaurant has to offer, and every single dish was outstanding. From the first bite to the last, the food was so good! The standout drink for me was their special bourbon made just for the restaurant—a remarkable combination of cherry, dark oak, and a smooth red-wine finish. A+! Wish the restaurant had the license to sell a bottle. 1,000,000 out of 10 stars. An unforgettable meal, and I'll absolutely be back should I ever venture out to Hawaii again!"

"The food was good. The service was great but the only thing that really was an issue was how cold it was. It felt like the AC was on high the whole time and it was really cold"

"A hidden gem that feels like you’ve stumbled onto a neighborhood secret. Atmosphere: chill music, small but not crowded. It has that rare neighborhood spot energy where the details are dialed in. The menu is unique and you want to try everything! We had the truffle fries, crab cakes, chimichurri steak crostini’s, arugula feta salad, ribs, pork and chicken... and my old fashioned came smoky and with bacon! Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, and clearly made with pride. The portions were generous. We couldn’t finish several and took leftovers! Service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and genuinely hospitable without being overbearing. You can tell they take enjoy what they do. Kaimuki is lucky to have the Surfing Pig. We will be back!"
