WAIKIKI Breakfast Buffet | House Without a Key

[@dorothylenard5283]

When we moved to Hawaii in 1973, the Halekalani was our cut through to the beach. Emma Veary singing in the evenings, my mom loved to sit on the beach and listen to her. There was a beach back there then.

[@billandlisa]

Great memories! Thanks for sharing, Dorothy.

[@juneshkurhan3176]

[@sueparamo5752]

Whoooo hooo!! Let’s go! ❤

[@gailsiangco5599]

Love the presentation ! Beautiful buffet ! Alot of variety ! Love the japanese breakfast ! Excellant breakfast on a rainy day ! Mahalo for sharing ! Stay cosy & warm ! Safe Travel !

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Gail! We love it too! It was a great way to start the day.

The Halekulani is one of Waikīkīʻs famous luxury hotels. The original hotel was built in the 1880ʻs but the complex was rebuilt in 1984. The reason there are so many outstanding Japanese dishes in the buffet and the fancy toilets is because the Halekulani is now owned by a Japanese company. The House Without a Key is historically famous and one of Hawaiʻiʻs best restaurants, and the beachside scene with the tree lying on its side is a stage where Hawaiian musicians and well-known hula dancers perform at night, which is really beautiful (when itʻs not raining).

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the info, Jody. Too bad it was raining, we would've loved to have breakfast outside. Next time!

[@celiadileone2841]

The food looked delicious! I love a fresh made omelet. One of my faves is Main Street station in Vegas. Thanks for taking us along! Stay well❤❤

[@josephschminkey5717]

I love how the birds come into the restaurant. ❤

[@karengaisford5182]

Everything is presented so nice. I love Hawaii and their buffets especially the fresh fruit yumm❤

[@puppygirl8602]

😮 I love that tiny hot sauce bottle 😊

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Another Hawaii adventure. Yipee!! The buffet look delicious. Definitely worth the price. The birds seemed to enjoy it too. Can't wait for the next chapter.

[@billandlisa]

Thank you, Yvonne! 2 more vlogs coming up in this Hawaii series. Stay tuned!

[@marka6164]

Thanks for dining at our buffet! Glad you enjoyed the Omelet Bill, it was nice meeting you 🤙

[@billandlisa]

Aloha Mark! Awesome omelets!! Everything was great, looking forward to trying your Sunday brunch one day.

[@junior72278]

I live here and didn't know they had a breakfast buffet... but you gotto try the Sunday buffet if ever your are here during the weekend! Expensive but well worth it! mahalo for sharing! Keep up the good work!!!

[@billandlisa]

Hope to check out the Sunday buffet here one day. Sounds amazing!

[@AshleyNewellDotMe]

What a cool buffet! I loved hearing the water and the birds singing in your video! Do you ever stay home on your weekends or do you always travel?

[@billandlisa]

Love that Hawaiian vibe too! We’re actually staying local for the next couple weeks, so we’ll be filming some local Holiday stuff. Stay tuned!

[@karenstanislaw8912]

What a beautiful, comforting, pleasant resort environment. ***Delicious-looking, high quality fare! Imagine a 4-5 day stay here!. The amenities, room beauty - etc., must be soft dynamite. What did Mel Brooks say? "It's good to be King." Love to see you both..

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Karen! I remember that quote! lol

[@kfly8624]

Hello Bill and Lisa always enjoy traveling with you! Lol Thank you! You went to Japan? Oh I gotta go watch! Lol 😊

Good morning All! Thank you Bill & Lisa for sharing your content 😊.

[@billandlisa]

You're very welcome, Brian!

[@nancydelu4061]

Absolutely gorgeous presentation! Oh, and in Hawai'i we have 'dry rain." This rain is NOT one of them. I an sooo homesick!

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching, Nancy!

[@mikesmiles1158]

Beautiful Bill & Lisa, I'm smiling Keep Sharing you fun folks

[@billandlisa]

Thank you, Mike!

[@gcorkgal4167]

Greetings from rainy far far West Texas! I was so excited to see your new video where I'll be having Sunday Brunch in nearby Orchids! I'll be arriving on Jan 15 to see some of my Texas buddies performing at The Blue Note. Haven't seen a beach since I don't know when! Staying at the historic Sheraton Princess Kaiulani which includes breakfast. Thinking about going to The Rainbow Drive In when I arrive! Feel like I'm cramming for a big exam like the old days! Hoping to see what bakery made those lovely pastries! Cheers! Gloria

[@billandlisa]

Hope you have a fun trip, Gloria! You'll have an amazing time!

[@lindamemo5224]

So cool all that you are blessed to experience

[@debbellable]

I enjoyed the video, pastries look delicious.

[@Constance-q2b]

Hey Lisa, Hey Bill ❤ 😊 👍

[@billandlisa]

Aloha Daniel!

[@TF-mw4sy]

I love when it rains in Hawaii! Fewer people out, very peaceful ❤😅

[@allisonabbott-kline4765]

The Halekulani has been our go to hotel on Oahu since 1976. My Uncle was married there. The evening music is delightful, the pool is small but lovely with cold towels and fruit passed in the afternoon. Aloha nui 🌺

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for sharing your memories, the Halekulani looks like a great resort!

[@Michelleskiff1987]

I love how yous are always happy 😊😊

[@mxp2000]

You guys sure do get around! Be sure to go Foodland and get your Poke' Bowl Hahaha!

[@minaking9400]

Thanks for sharing your experience ❤

[@808lublabs4]

House without a key for daily buffet is great. Some would say a better deal than Orchids on the weekends if you don’t care about the seafood they serve at Orchids. Recently tried Orchids for dinner (not a buffet) and it was amazing. One of the most relaxing dinners we’ve had in a long time. Service and staff were great and the food was amazing. Definitely not cheap but we already have plans to go back soon.

[@billandlisa]

Would like to check out Orchid's Sunday buffet one of these days. Nice to know their dining option is amazing.

[@-amosc.presley-7192]

Love y’all 2 both more! 💜💜

[@anthonysherman2134]

That buffet looked SO GOOD! Definitely on my bucket list!

[@geogent6655]

Some coconut syrup on the yogurt would have been so good 👍

[@debbienishiki7976]

Aloha Bill and Lisa!! Japan one week and Hawaii the next...I like the way you roll!! And the buffet look a-mazing! Mahalo for sharing. Live life guys!!

[@valerieh8882]

Food looked good and interesting. 😢rain. Enjoy travel safe. You lucky people….

[@wendyzappone7442]

I love “House Without A Key” also for the night time music & drinks. I have been blessed to both stay there & eat there quite a few times. Glad you enjoyed.

[@billandlisa]

We haven't stayed here yet, looks like a very nice resort to stay at.

[@jackiemcglone9225]

H Bill and Lisa. the House Without a Key breakfast buffet looked delicious. The rain just added to the scenery which was beautiful. You're both so lucky to take trips like that. Take care guys.

[@billandlisa]

Hi Jackie! We're blessed and don't take it for granted. Thank you so much for joining us!

Hawaii always films so well and has that unique, exquisite ambience like nowhere on the planet. Mahalo and Aloha!! find some pokè!!!

[@billandlisa]

So true, Joe!

[@Alan-sl7qz]

Another most entertaining video, Bill and Lisa, thanks for sharing. Was wondering if you generally prefer buffets over a regular restaurant, due to the variety?

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Alan! We enjoy both buffets and restaurants, and everything in between. lol

[@popeyesailorman911]

Basic Breakfast items but Desert looks good Good Day to have a Buffet ✌✌

[@dawitm.841]

Hi Bill & Lisa. I love japan 🇯🇵 it’s my bucket list. Big fan fr San Francisco ❤.

[@chaka3084]

Been to Orchids a few times .... but "House Without a Key" looks quite impressive, too! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to that bakery across the street. 😍

[@billandlisa]

Wish their bakery was open the day we went. Next time!

[@beverlyherbert6952]

Another great video!!❤❤ this buffet looked really good😊 so much to choose from again!!! So hard to decide😂 just being in hawaii makes it taste good😂 thanks for always filming for us❤❤❤ looking forward to your next adventure 😊😊😊

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Beverly! It's tough to choose, but it's all so good! Stay tuned for our next adventure!

[@LadyLakeMusic]

What a beautiful spot guys!! Their presentation was flawless!! Did you guys pick up any of the pastries after? 🌺🥐 Love your videos!! 🌊🌴

[@billandlisa]

We wanted to, but sadly the bakery was closed that day. Next time!

[@mayanovak2497]

Still watch after learning about you guy from my fav podcast, the bro show. This looked delicious

[@billandlisa]

Nice! Happy they shouted us out!

[@momonakokeshi6325]

I'll have to try this my family the next time we staycation.

[@EricaT210]

I just wanted to say I am enjoying your videos so much, that I’m starting from the beginning(2016) to watch. I have lived in a few of the cities YALL been at and I never knew some of the places were there! Keep posting your travels. Love it

[@billandlisa]

Thank you for checking out our library, Erica!

[@rosemarygomez6393]

We were there two weeks ago. It rained a lot. It was also not as crowded as usual. We’ve had the Sunday buffet at Orchids. It’s pricey but amazing .

[@billandlisa]

We look forward to trying the Sunday buffet one of these days.

[@alexwallace6120]

Wonderful! Lots of Japaners and Asian food I'm not acquainted! I wish i could go to Hawaii,and there,too!

[@freeport48]

Well when we win the lottery we'll go where you go. Anyway great to go on these adventures with you and your family.

[@LaePitt]

I love that hotel. A little oasis in Waikiki. Buffet looks good.

[@operamom3303]

Love you guys sweet couple

[@rontoomey1187]

Beautiful location and view. The tree looks similar to the type of tree located on Maui, Lahaina that survived the fire. Now I know what an authentic Japanese breakfast is. Did not know Miso Soup, vegetables and tofu is a typical breakfast. Surprised I did not see Poi offered. After this, the omelet, bacon, pastries and fruit looks so much more normal. HA! Thank you for a Hawaiian buffet breakfast experience!

[@carolbrown6765]

As always, I loved the vlog. Different foods than you would get in NC.

[@gorymarty56]

Omg I'm drooling

[@grottorabbit]

I love their presentation! Most everything looked really good! I'm curious about the Japanese breakfast portions since I've never had that! That's the most rain I've seen in Hawaii! It's rained every time I've been there, but it's always been a short, light tropical rain that lasts no more than 20 minutes.

[@billandlisa]

We really enjoyed this buffet. We were surprised by the amount of rain too!

[@laurene2586]

My favorite hotel to stay at and agree the daily buffet at House Without a Key is delicious. Try the mai tais at sunset with the coconut cake or dinner.

[@billandlisa]

We’ll have to do that next time!

[@cynthiaburton1971]

U2….adorable 💕

[@larrykarenflowers9371]

The buffet looked amazing. Could you please explain the reasoning for putting lemon on the papaya. I've never heard of that. Thank you. Thanx for taking us along. Safe travels.

[@billandlisa]

Something we've picked up from locals years ago. For us, it brings out the fruit's natural sweetness. Give it a try next time.

[@terris.1450]

Happy Holidays, Bill and Lisa! We enjoy your channel so much! We live in Culver City and hit up some of the same places and look forward to “bumping” into you guys one day! Do you have a Patreon Crew we can sign up for? Take care, Terri

[@billandlisa]

Wow! Thank you so much, Terri!! We currently don't have a Patreon. We really appreciate your support! And, please do say Hi if you ever see us around.

[@JamesPidkowa]

Wow you Guys sure get around I’m impressed lol You were just in Japan 🇯🇵 Loved the video the buffet looked amazing I know exactly where that is

[@billandlisa]

Thanks James!

[@titasmom678]

I've never had the Brunch there, only the Sunday Brunch and Afternoon Tea at Orchids. This one looks like a nice buffet. The Japanese jook looked good.

[@billandlisa]

We'll try the Sunday brunch one of these days. We really enjoyed this one.

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

1) I love miso soup too! Always have. 2) Bill, Natto is the whole fermented soybeans themselves. The taste of Natto is singularly ... well, vile, but then again I have eaten Balut, so there we are. 🤢 3) Furikake (pronounced, Foo-ree -kah-kay) is a great salt substitute too meaning it is not just for hot, fluffy, fresh rice

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

You got a Japanese style toilet in your house? Great! Are the instructions only in Japanese, too? I figure that way it is an authentic Japanese toilet!

[@billandlisa]

Neither of us are natto fans, but my sister loves it. lol

[@SuiGenerisAbbie]

@@billandlisa Your Sis loves it? Bloody hell! 😳 Tell her she is a hearty soul indeed!

[@patriciawade9186]

🥰🥰

[@ginNjus]

Love the Japanese influence in this buffet. 🐦🐦🐦🐦🐦 looking for free samples.

[@jrg4579]

Nah 😂 I still preferred Dukes breakfast buffet for 1/2 the price and almost the same menus. This buffet just more pastries and desserts but I am not really into sweet treats. No way hahaha

[@billandlisa]

Duke's is great, been there a few times.

[@joseenolet6195]

💜

[@honuhorizen]

Thank you for the video but for $50 I would like some poke because for locals it could go with any meal. 😂 or some beef.

[@billandlisa]

Some poke and beef teri sticks would've been nice! Thanks for watching!

[@VivaLasVegasX]

I traveled a ton non reving when I worked for a airline but you 2 are the kings! What's your biggest paycheck deduction for 2 weeks worth of flights? I think I hit $300 once

[@billandlisa]

We only pay for international airport taxes. That said, flying out of LHR is the most expensive.

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@billandlisa how much is Heathrow? I remember Mexico was like $55 each way for boarder tax but this was in the late 90s . A RT to Amsterdam was $110 on NW!

[@billandlisa]

@@VivaLasVegasX This it's somewhere north of $200 a person. Bit pricey, but we still go. lol

[@VivaLasVegasX]

@billandlisa still cheap! I miss those benes

[@gorymarty56]

Can you explain in more detail the exotic food

[@tomawen5916]

@billandlisa I loved your vlog on the breakfast buffet! It spurred memories of when my family came to Waikiki back in the 1970's and my dad was so cheap he didn't want to check out the hotel buffet during the week. He always was looking for fresh sashimi and despite me telling my dad to try the hotel buffet he refused until the day we were flying out. To his horror he saw mountains of fresh raw tuna and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't eat all of it. Oh how he cried. Rest of us could only laugh. Thank you for your enjoyment of breakfast!

[@billandlisa]

Hi Tom! Thanks for sharing your Dad's buffet story. Too bad there wasn't KZbin back then, he could've found a review on the buffet to see how it is. lol

[@irishgip71]

@Iris.J.G and I ate at the Dennys at the beginning of your video. We were just saying we need a return visit. Thank you for taking us along.

Uns geht es gut, danke Sue.

[@phillipchunjr7042]

Awesome goody adventure in my home state! It's good that you can visit some Waikiki buffets and we can see if it's worth it. Kind of pricey but good review. Wish you could have brought Erin with you!🤙🏽🌞😎

[@billandlisa]

The family will be with us in the upcoming December trip (to Hawaii). Stay tuned!

[@candaceeffle6552]

Your lucky to explore different venues but me personally NEVER would pay 52 bucks for a buffet I've made enough to pay it but would never sorry just me.😊

[@billandlisa]

It's all good, we love to showcase different dining options available on the island.

[@dwood138]

Hate to be a DeeDee Downer on this one….but 52 bucks for this buffet seems a tad excessive. Of course prices adjusted for the islands but still. Is it 52 bucks for dinner too ? Prolly not.

[@808lublabs4]

For context, a fast food meal in Hawaii will cost you $15-20 so keep that in mind when thinking about what you’re getting for $52 here. Is it 3x better than McDonalds? Emphatic yes.

[@gorymarty56]

After the rain? I bet there was rainbows

[@808lublabs4]

We’re spoiled in Hawaii as you can see a rainbow somewhere on the island almost daily but after a hard rain like this they are really vibrant rainbows almost cartoon like.

[@jadehom8067]

Ybqw ❤😊

[@brassz24]

Hmmm, when I clicked on the video all I got wad a black screen. I'll try again later.

[@billandlisa]

We checked and it plays fine. Hopefully just a hiccup.

[@Abmikabmik]

22:10 Kombucha? Kabucha? 🤦‍♂️

[@billandlisa]

You know what she meant. lol

[@auresantiagojr]

$52 for any buffet is expensive, but that doesn’t mean you should waste so much food. Lisa had 3 plates, the 2nd of which had like 10 items of deserts. You both tasted some of them and like usual you left most items there. Such a waste just to film a YT video. Please do better, set a better example. Take your daughter Erin out more for vlogging and maybe give Lisa a break, please. Erin does a nice job. My wife and I just watch now to count how much food is wasted. We don’t need details on every single item in a restaurant.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching, we appreciate your feedback.

[@GamerKid-qb5sy]

u left Japan for Hawaii how sad :(

[@billandlisa]

Not sad for us, we love both places!
