Exceptional food and excellent views, what could be better?

Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach has it all for travelers looking for that perfect vacation getaway.

With two new stellar restaurants, guests will never go hungry either. After all, who doesn't love to feast at least once or twice when traveling? Toss in the fact that you're in beautiful Hawaii and the vacation can become pure bliss.

The cherry on top is that the amazing food guests will be dining on is courtesy of Iron Chef icon Masaharu Morimoto.

Enjoy trendsetting cuisine at Alohilani Resort's two new restaurants.

The upscale Morimoto Asia Waikiki melds Western and traditional Asian fare with unmatched creativity and Momosan Waikiki is where ramen shares the spotlight with signature sake and a tropically landscaped beer garden.

Asia Waikiki opened to the public on February 15, but a VIP grand opening celebration took place on February 13 with more than 250 invited guests.

"I absolutely love Hawaii and Waikiki Beach, in particular, has a special place in my heart," said Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto in a release. "My team and I are so happy to have opened Morimoto Asia in the beautiful Alohilani Resort and can't wait to welcome our guests."

Signature dishes at Asia Waikiki include Jellyfish, Morimoto Peking duck, Ishiyaki Buri Bop, Angry Lobster and Washugyu Ribeye. Additionally, guests can choose from a number of rice and wok dishes, dim sum and sushi rolls.

It's the second location for Morimoto Asia, with the first being at Disney Springs at Walt Disney World Resort.

"We are committed to providing exceptional cuisine and an unmatched dining experience to our guests and are thrilled to have Chef Morimoto's Morimoto Asia as our resort's signature dining experience," Matt Grauso, General Manager at Alohilani Resort, said in a release.

Momosan by Morimoto puts noodles on display, showcasing their delicious diversity. Try something new and expand your taste buds to new horizons.

Guests can also try Morimoto's take on the island classic dish, garlic shrimp. Another great feature at Momosan is the stunning Honolulu sunsets you can soak in from the outdoor beer garden.

Alohilani Resort is the ultimate in aloha chic. At this resort, guests will have the quintessential island experience plus they get to feast on incredible food courtesy of one of the most famous chefs in the world.

So, whether you're visiting Hawaii for the first time or you're a frequent island hopper, dining at one of these superb eateries is a must.
