Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort has launched Hinahina on the Beach, a new all-day oceanfront dining venue, marking the return of buffet dining to Waikiki after a six-year hiatus. Located on the iconic Greys Beach, the restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu inspired by coastal flavours and beach culture.
Hinahina replaces the former Kai Market and The Edge of Waikiki Bar, transforming them into a singular dining destination. The resort's general manager, Tetsuji Yamazaki, expressed excitement about the new concept, stating, "Hinahina opens an exciting new culinary chapter for Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort and the story of this much-loved stretch of Waikiki's shoreline."
The restaurant's interior is designed to accommodate families and groups, featuring large tables and flexible seating. It includes a private dining room, the Shapers Room, with views of Waikiki Beach, and offers options for private and semi-private events for up to 250 guests.
Executive Chef Darren Demaya, a Hawaii Island native with over 18 years at Sheraton Waikiki, leads the culinary programme. The breakfast buffet includes Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes and an omelette station, whilst lunch features Build-Your-Own Poke Bowls and the Hinahina Burger. Dinner highlights include Giant Tiger Shrimp with Red Thai Lobster Curry Sauce.
Hinahina's name pays homage to the area's history and natural beauty, reflecting the silvery tones of native shoreline plants.
