Best breakfast we had in Honolulu! Beautifully cooked and presented meals and not expensive. We had the avocado on toast, burrito and pork belly banh mi. The specialty drinks(blue Hawaiian lemonade) and coffee were also excellent .

Jeremy was awesome start to finish despite manning the bar and taking care of multiple tables during lunch!

Always enjoyable with good food and drinks, great service and very family friendly. Save room for the mango soft serve with toppings!

Great food and cocktails. Piko Punch for the win!

This place is fantastic! Food tasted amazing, drinks are creative, service excellent, enjoyed sitting at the street bar, watching everyone walk by. I'm so confused why this place isn't busier. We loved the shiitake bao buns, poke, and tempura cauliflower. It was too much food for 2 people and the bill was under &100 with drinks. I wish we could return but we have to leave Hawaii and go back to reality.
This place is not nearly as busy as it should be! Service was great and the food was delicious! Nick took great care of us and we loved the vibe in there. Beautiful, modern island style decor and island music. They said the ac was broken, but the fans inside kept the place cool and comfortable. We loved the fried chicken which was served with a Vietnamese style sauce! We also really liked the Loco Moco which came with garlic rice! The crispy leeks were a great touch. If you're thinking of trying it out, don't hesitate! Definitely will be a go-to spot for my husband and I! Also, they are pet friendly! Mahalo for a great lunch experience!
The staff itself for the most part was attentive, but I had to ask for things a couple of times like an extra glasses, utensils and to-go boxes. When seated, the table top was sticky and needed to be wiped down. Had to ask twice for that as well, then ended up using water from my glass to wipe it down. The server saw this and she attempted to help but used beverage napkins, instead of a cleaning cloth, rag or proper paper towels. The food was phenomenal and worth the price. As for ambiance, the fact that the outdoor seating is outside, street level of Kūhiō, this caused me to score it as I did.

B E S T restaurant in Waikiki. We dined at Piko in 2023 and Valentine's 2024. Both times left wanting more. Great service, great ambiance & live music. The food is super delicious. We had the pork and beef bao buns, the fried confit chicken, the seared ahi cakes, the garlic noodles, the Valentine's special surf and turf. All 5 starts! And the cocktails that's too the real deal. True mastership. Thanks again for such a memorable experience.

It's on the first floor of Waikiki Market. After coming to the market, I stopped by for lunch. Loco Moco was the worst place I've ever tried. The atmosphere is better than a meal, so I'd rather have beer, cocktails, and snacks. The live music late in the afternoon was also great.

Great service and good...will definitely come back. I had a pork Banh mi, the sauce that came with it was delicious, and the sandwich was worth the calories.
We ordered about 4-5 dishes and everything really good. The pork belly and garlic noodles were particularly fantastic! The cocktails were just ok. Definitely going to go back.
We went for the Happy Hour and wound up ordering some things off the regular menu. Nice wine selection and the cocktails are stellar, a real craftsman at work. Loved the complimentary appetizer shot and the very personable server gave me some “awesome sauce” for my bao because he said it went so well with the mushrooms. My husband loved the wings and we shared the garlic shrimp and fries, adding on smashed cukes and a side of Japanese-style potato salad. Every dish was thoughtful, true to its origins but creative. We will be back.

Such a wonderful spot with good vibes, amazing staff and a beautiful open atmosphere. We don't order any food, but we had great drinks with fabulous service. I'd return for sure.

We stopped in for late night drinks and appetizers. Everyone here was so friendly! Both the staff and the regulars. We had lovely conversations sitting at the bar. The old fashioned was great. Hubby ordered a beer that he enjoyed. We got the Bao buns which were so good! Would definitely come back.
