Todai Restaurant, Honolulu, Hawaii Restaurant Details

Food:

Please don't eat here! Roaches in restaurant!
My family and I showed up at 5:30 for the dinner buffet and the stairs outside the facility were extremely dirty and not maintained. As soon as we went into the restaurant the floors looked really dirty and the wallpaper looked like it was coming off. We ate here anyways. The food was ok until I went to get dessert and found a roach on the plate. We called the manager over and she apologised and said that she needed to retrain her staff. This is obviously not the staff's fault it is the facility itself that is disgusting and infested with roaches; not to mention the ridiculous price per individual ($30). The manager apologised again and said that she would adjust the bill. The server came back with the bill and she marked off 20%, there is no way that I am paying for a meal that could have gotten my family put in the hospital. I told the server that this bill was absurd and I would pay for the drinks but not the food if they had a problem with it I would contact the health inspector which I plan on doing anyways. The manager came back over, apologised again and told us not to worry about anything. I am appalled that the people that run this restaurant would serve their customers unsanitary food.

Where do you want to comment on one of the most visited restaurants in Hawaii.
Did not have the sushi chopsticks here.
I hope the progress was three years ago.

Food:

We were here in 2005 and it was awesome. The food was great but a tad pricey. I hope it hasn't changed; I'm looking forward to coming back.

Food:

Way too expensive for what you get. My hubby and I were sick from dinner and broke out in a rash for a day following. (we eat plenty of raw fish and have never had this reaction). Wallpaper tearing away. Stay away travellers!

Food:

Should have read recent reviews, but Todai had been a wonderful place in the past. Unfortunately, Todai Waikiki was the most disgusting experience I've had in a long time. Todai Waikiki used to be the best Todai of all, but since they have new ownership the place has gone downhill to the extreme. In a word GROSS!!! The food was mediocre at best & used to be terrific. The place was filthy...carpet was the worst! We never saw our server after initial seating & drinks. Had to bus our own table. Had to track down someone for more water. Had to track down our server to get the bill. No longer honor senior discount. Server didn't care. Manager didn't care. In the meantime twice while we were there, full tour buses dropped off & picked up passengers. Why should management care when they can feed a busload of hungry tourists & never have to see them again. It's an insult to local people who frequented Todai repeatedly over the years.
