Feathers in the wing 😢

Great food, modern setting with plenty of TVs and with a friendly and helpful staff. A lot of the food and drinks are sweet, so look out for a sugar overload

Fun spacious place for food, drink, and entertainment run by SF locals (which is a rare gem to find lately). They host private events too if you have a special occasion coming up.

Had a great dinner with friends here! Especially liked the chicken wings and crab bao. This place is great for large groups and has good vibes. They also have a karaoke room! Located right in SF japantown

Service too slow and wasn't even crowded! On .25 cents Wing Wednesday U have 2 buy one Alcoholic drink with each order of wings! ? What happens if U don't drink? ? Garlic noodles aren't as good as they used to be. Even the wings weren't as good as before as well! I did notice on a Thursday there wasn't much of a crowd like before, after eating there I most likely won't return. I will find another Wing Wednesday to go to!

Food here was alright, I got the loco moco, mac salad, and both their house wings and their garlic wings. Enjoyed it for the most part, a little too much mayo in the mac salad though. Service was good but slow, not the waiters fault just felt under staffed.

I came with a group of 10 for a friend's Birthday dinner Friday night! There was a semi-busy bar at the entrance and a couple tables with also pretty large groups.

The menu has a lot of shareable and drink options. We split a scorpion bowl and platter tier 1 with our half of the table to start. The garlic noodles were flavorful and chicken wings crispy and full of sweet-garlic flavor. The beef and pulled pork were moist, but for the Hawaiian-fusion menu could use a bit more flavor.

I thought the space was also relatively on the empty side for 8:00PM. There's a large back lounge area that wasn't being used too, which probably contributed to an oddly quiet ambiance for karaoke or drinks. From the drink we had, I’d definitely recommend coming back to try some drinks over Happy Hour

Upscale atmosphere. Solid selection of whiskey, and good service. The wings are a great deal for happy hour. Matt has 5 star service. Will return.

My friends and I went for dinner and got the combo meal! Lots of dishes were pitched as shared food. We got the platter for 4-6 people. They accidentally gave us the fish combo platter for up to 10 people, which was an extra $50, but when we told them it wasn’t what we ordered they took it away. Hopefully they didn’t toss it! They also ran out of spare ribs so just gave us some other meat. Very meat heavy. Almost no vegetables.

Been a coupe times and really enjoy the tasty fusion cuisine. Miss a more cozy restaurant feel that clearly the owners are trading in for a cooler industrial lounge experience, which isn't exactly my thing.
They have a couple of private karaoke rooms.where they serve food and drink. We had a fun family party there. Better for more rellaxed gatherings where you don't need the most precise service. The greatest menu hits were the poke platter, chicken tenders, garlic noodles, fried whole fish. Got very crowded at 10pm. The clientele tends to skew younger.

Recently, I had the pleasure of organizing a reunion with my friends at Pa'ina. We had a pretty large group and there aren't a lot of places in San Francisco that can accommodate 20+ people. The staff were incredibly attentive throughout the night. The food menu offered a wide array of options to suit every taste. Our favorites being the Poké Party and Garlic Butter Shrimp and the Loco Moco. Creative cocktails and mocktails were flowing, and the bartender's recommendations were spot-on. We had countless Spicy Watermelon Margaritas and Pai Tai's and a couple of our group even went with the Scorpion Bowls. What truly set Pa'ina apart was their karaoke room. Since we were a large group and the room wasn't being used, they kindly offered the room to us. The room was well-equipped with a vast song selection and we had a blast. Will definitely come back for more celebrations to try out more of the menu!

Walked past her with my family and saw they have $1 oysters (Thursday only & at 5-7pm). We came in and ordered some drinks & 2 dozens of oysters. It was so good that we ordered another 2 dozen but the waiter misheard me and only gave us 1 dozen. We also waited about 20 minutes or more for the 1 dozen of oysters...

This place is a great deal for some oysters but it took way to long.
