Great place to sit. Unfortunately, the bartender just avoids eye contact and spends the entire time moving bottles around rather then taking orders. After 10m I just walked away.

Worst cocktails around area. Our bartender didn’t know how to make any of the bartenders special. I even let her pick between the matcha whiskey and the onsen. She choose to make the onsen and it taste nothing but yuzu. My husband drink taste like syrup. We paid $18 each. Didn’t finished our drinks, took 3 sips and then we left. The couple next to us has the same complaints.

Michael made us a sake bomb 💣 for me and my wife. Best part of our night besides the honeymoon. He made sure we had the best kind of beer and sake for our night out! Thank you Michael. 🫡

I have been to this bar twice and both times have been an amazing experience. The second time I went I had many questions about recommendations on a type of sake and Michael was able to make sure I had the best intel on sake because he was super knowledgeable on everything they sold! I had an amazing experience and recommend to all others. Thank you Michael!

Shanghai Bar inside the Stix Asia food court is an absolute gem in Honolulu! The bartenders embody the true aloha spirit—so warm, welcoming, and incredibly skilled at what they do. Every cocktail I’ve had here has been nothing short of amazing, but the Morning Star is hands-down my favorite—perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. I make it a point to visit every time I’m in Honolulu, and it never disappoints. Whether you’re stopping by for happy hour or looking for a great drink after exploring Waikīkī, this spot is a must. Mahalo for always making my visits so memorable!

Tried the Shanghai, Bund and Matcha old fashioned cocktails and they were all great. Super friendly bar staff was the cherry on top.

Cute bar in the Asian plaza. Golden lychee martini and akarui were great. Friendly owner and staff.

The bartender is a gem, and the happy hour is from 11-6pm. Great place and great service. Beer was cold with a friendly smile. We will return. Thank you

Service was great, drinks were strong, the short Filipino bartender with the hair buns made the atmosphere enjoyable.

Parking: Must spend $35 in the building to validate parking for 2 hours.
