Ford Island Bistro 1845 Wasp Boulevard, Honolulu, HI 96818

"Prices were reasonable. Difficult to find - we had to stop someone and ask for directions. You have to be buzzed in by security and then sign in. Security was very friendly. We were the only customers there, but food took a while to be ready and they didn't allow us to wait in the serving area. We ordered combos, but no drinks or cups were given to us, nor did they mention the drink fountain was out of service - even after they confirmed we wanted fries and a drink. The person talking our order was very rude. Two of us ordered Pad Thai. It was extremely spicy - they didn't give an option of heat level. I've also never seen zucchini or bell peppers in a Pad Thai. It was a different flavor than I'm used to, but it wasn't terrible, just incredibly hot. Since we didn't receive our drinks and we weren't comfortable approaching the staff again, I tried the vending machines to help cool my mouth down. The soda machine wouldn't take paper money. So I tried quarters only to find everything was sold out. The only other option was bottled coffee or orange juice for $2.75+. Over thing after another added up for a pretty poor experience, that I'm not eager to repeat."

"The food is amazing and unique with a rotating daily special while also offering their main menu. Service is as fast as you can imagine, even on the busiest time. When you get your plate, you can sit down in a well maintained sitting area that has amazing views. It's definitely a great place to eat on the island. The entrance is inside NOAA."

"The food was delicious and quick. Close to the Utah. Grounds were gorgeous."

"Order was ready super fast and the Cheeseburger was outstanding! They got them good French fries also! Definitely recommend checking them out."

"Base access required. Every Ford Island resident, Sailor, and employee on Ford Island need to eat here. This place is awesome, a nice solid menu, and lots of different daily options. You can’t beat the outdoor seating with the view and the relaxing breezes. It’s around the back of the NOAA building, but there’s parking near the NOAA pier. Just place your order (online for ease of use). They’ll bring it right out to you. Seriously, we’ll be back - often."
