As part of my journey, I visited Bills Sydney in Waikiki Beach for a celebratory dinner after completing the United Island Hopper. This review is especially poignant as Bills Restaurant did not survive the pandemic health restrictions and closed permanently in September 2020. If there is any silver lining to this story, is that Bills operates restaurants in Sydney, Australia, throughout Japan and in Seoul Korea. Perhaps this report will inspire you to visit one of their other international locations.

Review: Bills Sydney Restaurant, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, United States of America.

---

I arrived into Honolulu Hawaii on United Airlines Guam – Honolulu. After completing the United Island Hopper, which was a complete bucket list item for me, a celebration was in order. I was famished from the flight, which left pretty early. There wasn’t much on the plane itself aside from buy on board, so i was pretty hungry by the time I had arrived.

I picked up MrsWT73 from The Sheraton Waikiki and walked the five to seven minutes up to Bill’s Restaurant.

Bills Sydney’s was an Australian farm to table restaurant concept. It’s was most known for its breakfasts and ricotta pancakes as one of Waikiki’s Best Breakfast spots. It’s a place that had escaped me the last time I had visited.

The restaurant itself was located in the Hard Rock Café building on the second floor. The interior dining space had tall arched ceilings in a wood themed decor. On arrival, we managed to sit outside on the Veranda, which offered a limited seating space.

The Menu at Bill’s was full of contemporary and fresh farm to table cuisine. Almost all of it looked delectable. There was enough on the menu to satisfy a repeat visit as there were many items I would have liked to have tried.

Tonight’s dinner was Flat Iron Chicken with tomato, pomegranate and coriander along with some extra vegetables of a butter lettuce salad and avocado. The avocado was super fresh. They do much better on the produce rotation than I do at home… simply outstanding.

MrsWT73 went light with dinner, having a Bills’ salad with add on avocado. She gave it high reports for quality, describing it as a “ A bowl of goodness”. The salad dressing was of high marks as well. The meal was paired with a McArthur Russian River Valley Pinot Gris that was very tasty.

The saddest part to this story is that Bills Sydney in Waikiki Beach temporarily closed in September 2020 as a result of the pandemic restrictions. The last time I passed through Waikiki Beach, it had not re-opened.

Bills Restaurants operates several other locations around the world, including several restaurants in Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Kanagawa), two restaurants in Gangnam and Jamsil Seoul, South Korea) along with several locations in Sydney, Australia.

My Thoughts on Bills’ Sydney Restaurant:

Bill’s Restaurant was a great stop for dinner. The atmosphere was nice despite a late dinner (8PM to close at around 10 PM). It was simple, uncrowded and warm with excellent food. We’d easily visit again if we could. Bill’s was a great place to celebrate the end of the island hopper circuit; a bucket list complete.
