The food is good and customer service is great. However, if you get omlete from the omlete station, you will get charge more. It's because you aren't getting continental breakfast anymore. It becomes American breakfast. And they don't tell you. You will see it in your check. Beware.
Okay, so this place is pretty pricey for a breakfast buffet, but it is so good!! For the full buffet it's $40 and for the "continental" buffet it's $30. The continental includes everything in the enclosed room: waffles, pancakes, traditional japanese breakfast foods, miso soup, rice, bao, potstickers, lots of fruit and breads and pastries, oatmeal, salad, and several types of juices. The full breakfast also includes an omelette station, bacon, sausage, malasadas, fried rice, potatoes, etc. My husband loves the fried rice so much, he would pay for the full buffet just for that! I love the tropical butters (mango and papaya, good on toast or croissants), the coconut syrup (I love it on rice), and the bao. Sometimes they have pork buns, and sometimes it's just the outside part of the bao wrapped up in layers, with no filling. They're both so delicious! They also have fresh lychees when they're in season, and the fresh papaya is great too. If you're staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel, I recommend trying this breakfast at least once. It has a great view too!
The Holton breakfast buffet. Doesn't have too many kind for breakfast but taste is definitely good. Has regular traditional American breakfast such as cereals, yogurt, fruit, salad, bread, pancack, bacon, sausage. Coffee is serviced by personal directly to each table. Didn't find milk, only have some juice.
The most fantastic is Asia food, Japanese miso shiru (soybean made soup) and natto (fermentated soybean). Some tradition Chinese breackfast which are not supervised such like rice soup, steamed dumpling and meat bun, sour/sweet or salty preserved vegitable. And fried rice with tradition Guangdong sausage.
The actually amazing Chinese food is tradition Chinese food like bran dough ( Shanghai stryle food made fron gluten), fried bread stick, and Taiwan style crispy pork floss. The most unbelievable since is the most terrible food to American or European, the preserved egg (black with special smell which is supper terrible semlly as bad egg to some people, just like some special smelly cheese to some asian). I have to say, I missed these food for many years....
Also the food are not so many choice, but the taste is the real Chinese food. For some American had only Panda as 'Chinese' food in mind, they should try this true one here, instead of take Panda, the American-Chinese food.
