   The food at mud hen water was extraordinary! The flavors were so surprising and everything tasted like home. We got the Szechuan lotus roots and I couldn’t stop slurping up the sauce. We ordered the sourdough bread just to soak up the sauce. It was Szechuan flavored but without all the heat that makes it hard to taste! We also got the veal meatballs and the flavors were Indian inspired and the naan that went with it was probably the best naan I ever had! We also got the miso clams which were rich and buttery and full of umami. We finished with the fried chicken which was tender, juicy and crispy all at the same time. Apparently they sous vide the chicken first then fry it. This was likely one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! So inventive and creative and just downright delicious. I can’t wait to go back again when I’m back in honolulu.

   The mapo tofu and the sausage and clams are two dishes I will be thinking about for a long long time. Woke up craving them. Everything was delicious and the service was delightful.

   Very good. Not disappointing at all. Nice ambiance. Nice service. While the food was solid and tasty it was not overly memorable.

   Fantastic meal made even better by a very knowledgeable server! My sister is celiac and rainy out can be tricky, and our server didn’t skip a beat and knew all the choices she could have without modification, and those she could with one. The food was AMAZING and we were able to try so much as there were many options for her! Thank you again, truly was a treat!

   We enjoy Mud Hen Water so much more every time we go there. We are especially glad to see staff who are still there. The guava sorbet with ume is fantastic and we hope they keep it on the menu.

   The pictures of the food on yelp didn't match and what the restaurant offered were way different . Very limited, small and not a great value menu. We tried 5 items and nothing was great.

    Overall would def recommend Mud Hen Water for brunch. The options were all delicious and we enjoyed the mimosas and bloody marys. Very cool, modern yet deconstructed vibes. Recommend sitting outdoors, if possible! Only negative was we read online that it was a tapas style spot so we ordered a few items to share but when the plates came out, we quickly realized they were all full meal size.

    Omg. The BEST. Definitely worth the trek. Food is out of this world. Love all the native Hawaiian veg that you can’t find on the mainland. Ulu, beet poke, clams and sausage, Pohole, and mapo rice cakes were our favorites. Our kids had the tempura fish sandwiches (sauce on the side) and LOVED them. Can’t recommend enough.

    Loved it. Felt like family, especially after not being able to dine in for a while. Menu is slightly different with new dishes not reflected on OpenTable - recommend stopping by in person for an updated menu or calling ahead

    Delicious, interesting food featuring local ingredients. Has the feel of a neighborhood place just with elevated food. Friendly, informal service. We were there for Sunday brunch. Families with young children were mixed in with older folks. Very casual dress. It's a bare-bones space, a bit rundown. But that just adds to character of the place. We loved it.

    The vibe is welcoming and fun. We accidentally requested bar seating but they accommodated us easily at a table so our 4 year old could sit on a short chair.

    Really interesting riffs on traditional Hawaiian dishes, featuring locally-sourced ingredients. Liked the beet poke, and the buttered 'uala (sweet potato), in particular, was fantastic. Next time I'll definitely try the J. Ludovico Fried Chicken, and attempt to save room for the miso-butterscotch rice pudding. Also, their bar is incredibly well stocked with some atypical liquors, and both bartenders made outstanding cocktails.

    Delicious innovative and memorable food. I’m as there at 5pm when they opened so it was quiet - no idea if it gets noisy when busy. I ate three small dishes because I wanted a light meal - peanut tofu, ferns and the lotus roots. I can’t fault a thing - it was fabulous - possibly the beat meal I’ve had during my month on Oahu!

    A must stop for any Oahu visitor for a Hawaiian inspired farm to table experience. Chef Ed Kenney has done a wonderful job with his dishes. The menu isn't big, but our waiter (Vincent) working with the kitchen allowed us to experience many dishes over two visits by doing some without dairy. Dishes to try is Pohole (fern shoots) salad, the Buttered Ulu (breadfruit), the fried chicken, Sausage and clams, and the Ume Guava Sorbet for dessert. Everything was great. Also try the Golden Sour cocktail. We will be back again before the end of the year.
