    Delicious sea food pasta and lovely view on the water. Street noise is a bit loud, but that’s Ali’i Drive for you

    The food was delicious! We always enjoy going to Fish Hopper when on island. Can always count on the service being good. We also greatly appreciate the freak parking right behind a restaurant, and especially the handicap spot for my husband.

    We had excellent service and the food was absolutely delicious. Very hot and tasty. I love their macadamia nut crusted mahi-mahi.  Our servers, Tyler & Victoria, were so conscientious and efficient which made our evening most enjoyable. We will be back.
