We visited around 4pm and it was very quiet, the servers were very attentive and helpful, I never ran out of water.The fried chicken was incredible, and it seemed to be the size of a whole chicken. We also enjoyed the garlic Parmesan fries and salad.The atmosphere was relaxed, and the prices were reasonable (large dishes!)

Went here for the first time on a date and it was a whole Vibe as soon as you walk in. The food is great portion. Its is on the pricey side though. The menu was small but the food was great. The mac with smoked meat was good but could use more seasoning.The drink are also great and you can turn shots into cocktails for $2 more. I really wish I remembered my waiters name because he was for fast and nice and gave suggestions. If you get the calamari ask to have it with garlic aioli. It's great ?? ?Parking: It's the mall parking lotWheelchair accessibility: There's no stairs

After recommendations from a friend, we decided to check this place out since our Ko'olina beach day was a fail (no parking). Initially, we intended just to have a couple of drinks but our eyes were bigger than our stomach soo... we decided to order a couple pupus.We ordered quite a few dishes to share between six people: smoked meat, Hawaiian style poke, spicy ahi nachos, kimchi fried rice, beef luau, pele's prawns, & bao burgers. My personal favorites were the spicy ahi nachos, smoked meat, beef luau, and pele's prawns. The spicy nachos had a nice kick and I appreciate the fact that they don't skimp on the sauce. Smoked meat was very flavorful, and the beef luau was very tender and soft. Lastly, the pele's prawns were soooo good, it was breaded, creamy, and was very reminiscent of walnut shrimp. All of the food hit the table pretty quickly, there was no shortage of food during our entire visit. The portions sizes are also great to share. We ended up have a lot of leftovers to take home. The service was quick, fast, and attentive. Our orders were taken promptly, waters were always refilled, and empty plates were bussed. Overall, a solid and casual spot for local comfort food. I will definitely return to try more dishes!

Went with friends for an impromptu Christmas dinner. There were two parties going in that night, so we got the last table right in front of the stage. Our server was nice enough to pull the tables back to save our ears. Although luckily, it's local music, not Rick band do not too bad! Great to have live music playing!!!The service is quick! Food portions are a good size to do family style. We still ended up with leftovers! The taste never disappoints!!

Loved the atmosphere here! The food was sooo delish! We had smoked meat Mac & cheese, garlic shrimp fried rice, the bacon truffle fries, dad's boneless pork chops fried rice. We were there w/ fam visiting from Florida so it was a nice place to hang and have drinks w/ our fam & friends. Service was a little slow but I think they were short handed cause the place wasn't crowded but we didn't mind.

Absolutely my new favorite spot. Brought my fam here for dinner as some of them came to visit from the mainland. Atmosphere, food, and service was amazing! Our family LOVES good food and live music and the feeling of being amongst family was incredible. It’s loud, family style, and lots of love put into everything. Real sense of aloha here! Definitely shareable portions. Fresh, island flavors, and FANTASTIC drinks! Music was an absolute surprise, luckily as long time fans of The Green, we got to have an unbelievable experience, but I’m positive everyone who plays here will be phenomenal! We were welcomed and served as family. Owners here are amazing!! I have absolutely nothing negative to say. I’ll be back here supporting local 100%! I’ll be bringing anyone who visits here and telling all my friends about this amazing spot! If you don’t come hang out here, you’ve missed the best of local Oahu!

What a surprise to find this place in a mall. The food flavors and portion size were huge.There was a really fun, live band. The drinks were… well it’s a good thing we were walking back to our hotel.The only small complaint is that the chairs were not very comfortable. That may be by design though. If the chairs were super comfortable I may have never left. lol

Stayed in Kapolei next door to Moani's last weekend for a wedding close by. I've been to Moani's Waikiki but never been to the OG kapolei spot yet. Was excited to finally try. After the wedding we came down for a few more drinks and late night munchies. The location is easy with ample parking, we were staying right next door at the hotel, so we just walked over. The front door staff was friendly and we got seated right away. The service was on point- she was friendly, quick, and actually gave me her opinion on what pupus we should try which I always appreciate because I can't stand the generic "everything is good here." We went with the Pele prawns and the fried rice. SOOOOO good. The ambiance was nice- music was bumping- energy was good. On this night they happened to be playing a bunch of early 2000's rap/hip hop.. so my millennial heart was happy. Overall- I would come back here if I'm ever staying on this side again. Solid spot for good food, music, and drinks.
