Before we visited, I had a hard time rationalizing the dueling concepts of "farm to table" food and a huge hotel buffet. Kai Market balances those two ideas nicely. There is tons of seating here, and serving yourself means that the kids won't have a meltdown in between ordering and being served. Everything, from the baked goods, to the savory items, and of course the fruit is fresh and nicely prepared. Some dishes are innovative blends of Hawaiian and Japanese foods. Items made by local businesses instead of cooked on site (for example the sausages and lilikoi breakfast bread) have signs to tell you where they're made.
At $28.95 per adult, Kai Market is a splurge, but discounts for kids make the buffet more approachable. Children 1-5 yrs old eat free anytime, children 6-12 yrs old eat free with paying adult. Ages 13-16 yrs old receive 50% off the Adult price ($13.50 for breakfast and $24.50 for dinner)
