“Food is so delicious and staff extremely helpful and attentive“

“Very tasty food . Punjabi roti awesome“

“Caesar salad is not a caesar salad, more like a tossed green salad, should not call it a caesar salad. The Frying Dragon Roll was excellent! Misoyaki Butterfish amazing! Restaurant needs an update, looks tired. Friendly staff, loved the Chefs greeting customers upstairs.“

“Fabulous Food and wonderful staff !! Wine list is also terrific!!“

“They are the BEST!!! My favorite is the garlic chicken! Everytime I come home for a visit I HAVE to come and eat here ❤️❤️❤️“

“Just the best food, staff. Always happy. Always tasty dishes. Their wine dinners are fun. Salmon’s always perfect. A gnocchi & beef dish was especially tasty.“

“You’ve probably driven past this spot at South Beretania & McCully, but trust me ...it’s worth pulling over for. Nearly everything here is made in-house, and Chef Dell (who’s also behind Vein in Kaka‘ako) is absolutely delivering.

Expect top-quality ingredients like fresh Mio Pastalogy pasta, egg salad sandwiches made with Japanese eggs, and premium-grade Matsuri rice. The biggest win? It’s affordable without compromising on flavor or portion size.

– A lineup of favorites worth every bite:

- Egg Salad Sammy!!
- Kawagoe housemade gyoza with mustard sauce
- Kurobuta Tonkatsu
- Izakaya Kawagoe’s famous chicken karaage
- Garlic Chili Chicken
- Mahi Furikake Katsu

– Small private lot for dine-in or takeout, plus nearby street parking when it gets busy.

– Spacious dining area with plenty of room to relax and enjoy.

– Warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish.“

“My first time here after seeing them on tv. So glad the worker tied the bag of my 3 plates tightly and that they use strong plastic containers. I took a sharp turn and my bag flipped to the side. My food shifted a little in the container, but at least it didn’t spill out or leak out of the containers. Love the hamburger steak with crispy onions! Omg, the special parmesan chicken was huge!! This was ono too. Will definitely go back there again. ❤️“

“Soooooooo good!! Can’t wait to go back! Gonna be dreaming of the oxtail soup for days!“

“Curry shrimp was amazing!“

“This is a great place for a special night out. We were both hankering for a great meal. They delivered in style!“

“Had a celebration of life at 3660 on the Rise. Coordinator was so easy to work with and gave so much information and was in constant communication. The staff were all so helpful with set up, service, tending to guests and clean up. The food was really good too! Had a heavy appetizer "lunch" and everyone went home filled. The crab and cream cheese won tons, garlic chicken and meatballs were standouts of the line up. Construction was going on on the outside of the building so the view was a little obstructed, but inside the building was well maintained, great temperature, simple A/V set up. Dedicated parking structure with validation made it easy for guests.“

“Went and tried out their wing plate. Spicy wings have good kick. Regular wings are good. For the price good portion size of rice, corn and wings. Sauce was good too. All orders cooked to order. Go check them out

Went back for a chicken sandwich.deliciois and a good piece of chicken.“

“During my recent trip to Waikiki, my nephew and I stopped for breakfast at the Splash Bar, located poolside at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. While I wasn’t staying at that particular hotel (I was at another Marriott property), I decided to try it out—and I’m glad I did.

I ordered the Pineapple Sausage Hash Moco ($31), which was listed on the menu as a “local favorite.” It came with a hearty serving of rice, topped with house-made hash (pineapple Portuguese sausage, potatoes, and sweet onions), two eggs cooked to order, and covered in rich brown gravy. Whether or not it’s truly a local staple, I can’t say—but what I can say is that it was delicious, filling, and well-prepared. The portion size was generous, easily justifying the price.

My nephew went with the Strawberry Waffle ($29), a light and crispy waffle topped with strawberries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, and a unique touch—boba pearls sprinkled on top. Judging by his clean plate, he thoroughly enjoyed it. He also ordered hot chocolate, which was presented in a charming way: the server poured it into his cup tableside from a kettle, then left the kettle with us so he could refill at his leisure. That extra detail made it feel special.

We sat outside by the pool, and the setting added to the experience. It was relaxed, not overly noisy, and a nice way to start the day with a bit of Waikiki atmosphere.

Overall: While prices are definitely on the higher end (not unusual for Waikiki resort dining), the food quality, presentation, and atmosphere made it worthwhile. The Splash Bar delivered a satisfying breakfast with a touch of charm.“

“The udon here is incredibly fresh and delicious — perfectly chewy and flavorful. The fried chicken is super crispy and juicy, definitely a must-try! The service is quick, and even though the line can get long, it moves fast. Great food, great value, and always satisfying! 🍜🍗✨“

“Some of the best sushi you will ever have... Owner and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the sushi/poke is outstanding. Aloha Sushi is a must visit for local, fresh, amazing sushi, and if the sushi doesn't make you want to come back for more, the friendly owner/staff certainly will.“

“So happy to stumble upon a local food spot near my sister’s house! Always craving a real local fried rice and we got that and more. Great simple menu with good prices, plus friendly staff. The front seating is great, the back seating needs some improvement. Can’t wait to be back!“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Delicious healthy charming garden deck in back. yummy 💖“

“Two weeks on the islands and this was by far the best meal we had! Very good service and phenomenal chefs. Subtle sauces with depths of flavors. Fish cooked perfectly. While everything was excellent, the unique Caesar salad was the best I ever had! Complex, citrus, umami… wow. Thanks for a nice evening. Not the type of meal you’d expect to get in a shopping mall.“

“Tried the aloha breeze shave ice and the watermelon drink, they were both amazing and better than I imagined! The ice cream in the center and the sweet cream drizzle were a good combination with the fresh fruit! The staff were very helpful and welcoming, will be returning to this spot for sure!“

“Love the food. Delicious. Fresh and hot“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“Wow! What a find! The food was delicious! I had the kimchee pork bowl with Japanese potato salad and tossed salad. The portion sizes are perfect. Our food arrived hot and served quickly. I've never had Japanese potato salad and this one did not disappoint. Give this spot a try and you will have leftovers worth eating later! Definitely recommend this spot!“

“My first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. I went during off hours, so plenty of parking and I was the only customer.

The menu is extensive typical of a Vietnamese restaurant, but I am here to try the Pho. The broth is very light, but beefy. Not too sweet. But its missing the essence of the spices, like the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom and fennel. Also the smokiness of the onions and ginger. I just prefer my pho broth to be heavier on the spices. But I still enjoyed it. The rice noodles was perfect, and the meat toppings is a little on the stingy side. Also only one size bowl.

I also tried the Summer Rolls with BBQ Pork. It was just average to me. Service was good, attentive and refilled my water when needed. Came to check on me a couple of time. My Mom called me while eating and I ended up ordering the Chicken Pho for take out for my Mom.

They did get busier after I sat down with mostly take out orders.

I will definitely come back again. I like the convenience of satisfying my Pho cravings and I don't have to drive to downtown/Chinatown.“

“this place is a Crazy Rich Asian vibe and i love it. Chef Anthony and his crew were absolutely phenomenal. A family style, off-menu 9 dish dinner was delicious. i was full by dish 7 and barely had enough room for dish 9(desert).

BTW, this place is PERFECT for private events!“

“Food is fresh healthy & onolicious👍🏻👍🏻 The brisket musubi & brisket Katsu bomb👍🏻👍🏻“

“Love this spot. It is a quick and fresh poke spot. They serve fresh fish in all their bowls and rolls etc. Street parking is fairly easy to find close by and they have indoor counter seating and a small outdoor patio. The costumer service has always been good.“

“What an incredible atmosphere! The staff was so accommodating and efficient. Such a beautiful establishment. Delicious food and the best drinks!“

“Hamamatsu style gyoza is awesome delicious! Ramen is great. Love those tonkatsu bites! Sapporo on tap. This is going to be our new favorite ramen joint!“

“I tried their sampler. From left to right, i got:

- Holy Krab
- Tacobella
- BAE
- In & Out
- Let’s Avocuddle

The rolls were the perfect balance of a crunchy shell on the outside with softer wrapper layers on the inside. The rolls were not too oily either.

The Holy Krab was amazing. It was like a creamy crab croquette in a roll. The Let’s Avocuddle was also a stand out. I like my meat, but this vegetarian option was surprisingly good.

There was also a cheese(?) sauce, sweet chili sauce, and salsa. The cheese sauce is literal crack“

“We were a little disappointed in two things this visit. Our table for two was in a booth with very little room (sitting too close to the table with no room to move back) and the other thing is that the butterfish (altho it was good), I missed the miso glaze butterfish. The fish itself was perfect...just the seasoning was different and not as relishes as the previous long time seasoning.“

“Good experience. Brunch on Sunday gives you delicious lobster tails and crab. The service was wonderful, the view was amazing, and I would recommend this restaurant 100%👍“

“Vandaag geweest met een vriendin We werden geholpen door bas Wat een aanwinst En het brood carpaccio ...heerlijk“

“So delicious! Huge portions for relatively cheap prices. Staff were very friendly with quick service!“

“Was it only me or did this restaurant close for a while? I was surprised to drive down Smith Street and see that my old favorite was open. I had to check dear old Google to figure out the hours of operations since a lot of places have very specific open/close times and also dinner and lunch service schedules. The place looked exactly the same since the last time I dined here. One of the first things I noticed is they were short-staffed. The single SUPERSTAR server was doing EVERYTHING from taking orders to busing tables to expediting food to cashier and hostess... I was surprised they didn't have her cooking the food too!  I was so proud of all the diners for having so much patience and being extremely nice to the waitress. Now, on to the best part of a review, THE FOOD!!! I started with the pork belly bao then on to my favorite BELLY BOWL which is their Ramen with all the vegetable goodies and bacon and sausage! Yes, you heard me, bacon and sausage!  I couldn't leave without having my old favorite nonalcoholic beverage, their famous tropical iced tea... Black tea infused with lychee flavoring! So refreshing! The location of this restaurant is in the heart of Chinatown, which will always struggle with Parking. On street metered parking is available but very limited, especially at lunchtime. There are public lots, but make sure you read the signs because it's very specific to what restaurants and businesses they support , and hours of operation for weekday/workday Parking. I would hate for you to get your car towed!  The ambience is great and can get loud depending on how busy the place is. Lucky Belly is worth checking out if you're in the area!“

“May2025 Bar that is located at a local favorite spot foodie court. Had to try the interesting spiked boba drink. Pretty good.

Menu of drinks is creative and trendy

Service usually gets more active after hours

Regular bar setup to catch after dinners“

“We recently dined at Phở Minh Thư and had a fantastic experience! We ordered two special phở and the spring rolls with grilled pork, and both dishes were absolutely amazing. The phở had a rich and flavorful broth, and the portions were generous. The spring rolls were fresh and packed with delicious ingredients.

The food was not only delicious but also great value for the portion sizes. We will definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend Phở Minh Thư for anyone craving authentic and tasty Vietnamese food.“

“The food was fresh and delicious. Service friendly and helpful. You’ll feel like you’ve arrived at that hidden gem where the locals eat authentic Asian food. Hong Kong style noodles were delicious, as was the tofu and eggplant. Vegetarian potstickers were not listed on the expansive menu, but when the server realized we were vegetarian she made the recommendation. Great place!“

“Seeking shelter from the rain on my motorcycle and found this super friendly local bar and everyone introduced themselves. Ended up ordering the cheeseburger…you get 2…and it has the most ono cheese sauce. Mahalo for the shelter and grinds.“

“A very friendly and welcoming place, had great Kahlua pork sliders on taro buns and drinks, the owner came out and talked to people and was very nice and spent time with us talking, would recommend for a nice calm and relaxing meal and atmosphere.“

“Amazing food everything is so so good“

“Awesome place! The sprit of the lord is very strong there!“

“#werethisplacerecommend this page follow, please support everyone ☄️🫂Hi everyone, recommend this page follow and support video 📸👍“

“Great sushi spot in Kaimuki. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and full of flavor—it’s clear they take pride in using quality ingredients. The menu offers a great variety, from classic rolls to unique specialty items.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is quick—perfect for a takeout spot. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, making it a great value for the quality you get.“

“I visit Oahu at least once a quarter, and every time, I make sure to stop at this spot. It has a relaxed, casual vibe and consistently excellent food. It’s definitely a local favorite.

The oxtail soup with rice and ginger is my go-to—pure comfort food that hits the spot every time. While the menu has plenty of other great options, you really can’t go wrong with this classic.“
