I had an incredible dining experience at Arden. The chef did a phenomenal job combining a variety of farm-to-table flavors, each dish showcasing great depth and balance of umami and texture. The venison, smoked tuna poke, fish curry, tomato salad, and steak were all superb — beautifully prepared and bursting with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
The service was equally excellent. Our server was knowledgeable and spot-on with his recommendations, enhancing an already exceptional meal. The cocktails were also outstanding, perfectly complementing the dishes.
Overall, an amazing dinner from start to finish — creative, delicious, and memorable. Highly recommend Arden for anyone looking for a refined yet inviting culinary experience.

We came here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I booked it thinking we might want to try the wine from the wine deals. But after a full day on an airplane, we decided not to have any alcohol. Instead, I got their non alcoholic drink with elderflower, that as really delicious! It was like a fragrant fruit juice, so tasty!
Then for food, we ordered more than we needed because we really wanted to try the oxtail but also wanted veggies. The oxtail was superb, although slightly under salted but well balanced if you have it with a mouthful of the udon. We also got the sashimi appetizer which had really fresh fish and thickly sliced.
We were so full afterwards, we had to pack up the food the salad and oxtail so didn’t have any room for dessert. But one of the waitstaff came over bringing a slice of cheesecake for my husband’s bday. That was so nice!! We had a wonderful experience here and would definitely come back. I’m even considerinng staying at the Lotus!

The world food tour duo stopped in at Arden, in the Lotus Hotel. Yours truly was somewhat reticent in making a reservation as my car was hit by someone in the parking lot the last time we dined here. I chose a parking space at the far end (again) and hoped for the best. This is my #1 issue with Arden and the Lotus … parking!
We started with a 2021 Melville Block M Pinot Noir ($145); it’s a relatively light bodied Pinot, with red fruit and earthiness. We chose the Venison Tartare ($32) and the Foie Gras Terrine ($49) to start. The tartare was cubed, with dollops of bonito-flavored aioli, pickled shallots, and served with potato chips. The foie gras terrine was interesting … the terrine was shaped like a block of butter, with a thin sheet of butter encapsulating the foie gras mousse. It was served with squares of thick-sliced toast, and two containers, one containing an onion jam, the other housing Umeshu gelee. The foie gras spread like butter … think “meat butter”. I liked the onion jam more than the plum wine jelly; the latter was very subtle in flavor.
We chose Lamb Lollipops ($54), Braised Oxtail ($54), and Mushroom Rice ($32) for our main course. The lamb was very mild, served on whipped Chevre, with shaved fennel, nuts and seeds. The oxtail was delicious; it came with curly udon, peanuts, cilantro, and a plastic bottle of chili pepper vinegar. I do not like udon, but this version won me over … chewy and flavorful. The rice was chock full of pieces of Shiitake, Maitake, Oyster Mushroom, crispy garlic, and brown butter. This, and the oxtail were my favorite dishes.
We ended our meal with a Chocolate Island dessert with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream ($20) and an Americano ($6). The dessert was disappointing (to me); it wasn’t special, based upon its price.
We enjoyed our time at Arden … The place was empty when we arrived and packed when we left. Service from Kirka (GM & Wine Director) and Christopher was fine but slackened as the evening wore on. We think they need more staff. My car was unscathed … thank goodness. I’ll give Arden a rating of 4+ and a conditional recommendation. I think some of the dishes need to be improved, visually. Choose wisely and you will enjoy your time at Arden.

we came here for a reservation right after our engagement to celebrate! They knew about the celebration before we got there and we got some free champagne & chocolate ice cream at the end. Everyone was very sweet! The chefs were also involved in serving which was nice. They knew where everything on their menu was sourced which was also interesting to hear. They truly had the best sauces across all of our meals. It is a higher price point but is a great place if you are wanting to splurge for your vacation.

Had an amazing experience, we celebrated a much needed date night and purchased the Ohana special with wine pairings included. The food was sublime while the wine was perfectly tailored for a great experience. Would definitely recommend and id plan on returning for my next trip.

I visited Arden Waikiki and it felt noticeably different from many of the restaurants along Kalākaua Avenue. While Waikiki has plenty of casual dining spots, Arden offers a more refined and modern dining experience that focuses heavily on presentation and thoughtful preparation.
The restaurant has a contemporary interior design that feels clean, elegant, and relaxed at the same time. The lighting and layout create a comfortable atmosphere that works well for a longer dinner experience rather than a quick meal.
The menu emphasizes carefully prepared dishes that highlight high-quality ingredients and balanced flavors. Each plate feels thoughtfully composed, with attention given not only to taste but also to visual presentation. The dishes reflect a modern approach to dining where technique and creativity play an important role.
What stood out to me most was the overall pacing of the meal. The kitchen clearly focuses on delivering courses in a way that allows diners to appreciate each dish rather than rushing through the experience. It creates a more intentional dining atmosphere compared to many of the fast-paced restaurants in Waikiki.
Service during the visit was professional and attentive. Staff were knowledgeable about the menu and maintained a smooth flow throughout the meal.
Overall, Arden Waikiki offers a more elevated dining experience in an area that is often dominated by casual restaurants. If you are looking for a modern restaurant in Waikiki that focuses on quality ingredients, presentation, and attentive service, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

SMOKED AHI POKE 4 smoky, refreshing, flavorful; Seaweed, Avocado; Sweet Potato Chips, too hard

The oxtail udon was the saving grace for Arden. The rest was alright but nothing exciting or worth writing home about.
The entire menu is designed to be “shareable” but the format of menu items feels like a mix of single entree items and appetizers. I was excited to try the concept but it felt a little awkward sharing udon with the table and a little more awkward being brought a dish of fries as a main course.
Also, they have $5 coasters from Amazon. Feels like corner cutting.

I’ve been wanting to try Arden Waikiki for a while now, and I finally made it. It’s located near Kaimana Beach, so it has a quieter atmosphere compared to the center of Waikiki. The restaurant is on the second floor of the Lotus Hotel. The interior is spacious, and the large windows offer a nice, open feel with views of the greenery outside.
All the food we ordered was delicious and highly satisfying. I was especially looking forward to dessert, as it seems to be what they’re known for, and it exceeded my expectations. It looks like they can accommodate large groups as well. I’ve found a hidden gem in Waikiki—I’ll definitely be back!

My husband and I had a wonderful night dining at Arden. We had a booth that looked out onto the restaurant and loved both the decor and the fact that it was so spacious with great lighting.
We got both the fish appetizers and they did not disappoint. The passionfruit with the hamachi was a perfect complement to this light fish. We also loved the roasted cabbage which had an okinomyaki sauce. The carrots with goat cheese and sesame was really interesting, but I think we loved the oxtail udon the most (generous portion, we had leftovers for 2 but no complaints!).
Desserts are really generous. We were told by our waiter that they baked Hawaii was a smaller portion (but I have a friend who ordered it another night and said it was fantastic) and we went with the brownie. the brownie was the diameter of the plate and very decadent. So decadent we could not finish it and had a brownie dessert again the next night!
All around a great meal and highly recommend!
