DaSpot catered our event with 100+ people on Saturday and they were amazing. The food was insanely delicious and the staff was kind, friendly, helpful, and reliable. I highly recommend them for all your events!

Hands down our favorite spot to eat. Make it your first stop when you land. Seriously you know you’re gonna be hungry and their portions are reasonable and filling. Call ahead and get it to go and veg out in the hotel room. Spend a day on King St. and go back for round two. Then have some before your flight home like we did. Not even kidding we ate here three times in less than a week. Great customer service and food every time. Jazz night on Thursday. The vegetarian and vegan options are so delicious and well seasoned. Mahalo ?Vegetarian options: Thai entree option has some kind of oyster in sauce and tofu. Malaysian entree is vegan.Ask to be sure about the sides they change daily.

We had a great experience at Da Spot. I liked having the options right in front of us. I had the coconut lemon fish and subbed the Mac salad. Highly recommend both. My wife got the chicken parm I think it was also very good. The rice is great on its own but was even better with the sauces. Great prices for the amount of food as well!

My favorite spot to eat in Manoa! Been coming here since I was in college (10 years ago ?). Their portions are incredible and you can’t go wrong with anything they’re serving.Their chicken dishes are always delicious and have so much flavor. The saffron rice is a must. Their smoothies are also always a hit.My partner and I usually get the combo to share and it is more than enough for us both after training. Or I get the combo and have leftovers for a second meal! This is one of the only spots on the island that hasn’t increased their prices while decreasing their portions.
Prices have risen significantly at Da Spot. A combo plate (2 choice protein), which used to be ~12 dollars as recently as January 2024, is now ~16 dollars as of March 2024. When I eat out, I'm thinking about 1) how healthy the food is, and 2) the value I'm getting for the food. While the food remains healthy, the value I'm getting at the 16 dollar price point just doesn't justify coming here anymore.I've raved about this place to all my friends before because it met both of my criteria for eating out, but I honestly can't justify coming here when there's other places you could eat healthy food with decent sized portions at a reasonable price.The food still tastes good. I've loved the Thai Chicken Curry. the last time I went, it didn't taste as good, but that's probably because I went really late at night.Lowkey the price raise might be a product of inflation everywhere. My personal list of somewhat healthy affordable meals that are under 12-13 dollars is slowly dwindling, which may be a sign of the times. I'm nonetheless disappointed that Da Spot rose their prices so drastically when previous price increases were maybe 50 cents to 1 dollar at a time, which made the blow much easier to stomach (versus 4 dollars).I'm giving this 3 stars for the good memories I've had of this place, but I probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

I was asulted by worker followed out the store and hit in the chest by employee I’m now place a police report on two employees the owner Ahmad will be sued concerning this issue it started when I denied the food and the price . I would not recommend this place to students or familys at all , because of the un professional workers . They will be sued.Parking: No parking at all on the street, company who thinking about their catering sucks and their employees, no uniforms dirty tee Shrits and so on ,

Da Spot is well-priced with good portion sizes. Their mochiko chicken is especially stellar. They don't load it up with breading, so it isn't too oily/greasy like other places. They also have really good fried noodles and curry options! We used Da Spot to cater one of our events for ~150 people and they were great. They are very friendly and helpful. We had a last minute change to our event, and they were able to accommodate it on very short notice. I am very impressed with Da Spot and it is a good, local eatery that I highly recommend.

I was turned to this place from my yoga instructor years ago. What I like about this place is the choices and options you get when ordering food here. Everything is already prepared so you can see what you were choosing. Pick your main(s) and sides and pay.All tasty, so far everything I’ve ordered here been good.Parking can be and little difficult around here.
