“I’ve been around the world eating great Korean food but there is nothing like Gina’s. From the moment you walk in you can tell everyone from the young gentleman working the cash register to the cook in the back or the owner the circles around you can tell each person is happy you stopped and ate at Gina’s, you can also taste it in their cooking. They make each meal like it’s in its own league, no mass cooking and heating older food I always have hot fresh cooked food when I come here and it’s amazing. 10/10 would reccomend to anyone that loves Korean or island food. You won’t be disappointed. Stop by here at least once a week and will continue to do so due to the great quality and customer service!Kid-friendliness: Amazing with kids!!!“
“This may be the best Thai we've ever had. We got the Ono Appetizer Combo (fish patties, spring rolls, chicken satay), Tom Kha soup, and Pad Ki Maow (drunken noodles).The satay, even before the delicious peanut sauce, was the best I've ever had. Very well-seasoned, and a nice bit of crispiness at the edges without being overcooked.The sauces and additional vegetables (lettuce leaves, cucumber, Thai basil, shredded cabbage) in the appetizer combo added delightful mixtures of texture and flavor.The Tom Kha soup (we got it with tofu) was full of veggies. Green beans, mushrooms, carrots, zucchini. It was a hearty and typically tasty soup.The drunken noodles (we also got them with tofu) were great. They were a bit spicy (as we were warned beforehand) for a typical American palate, but very tasty. The veggies, tofu, eggs, and noodles were all cooked quickly at high heat, which meant there was lots of yummy textures and colors in the dish. Broccoli, green beans, Thai basil, and carrots were perfectly cooked - brightly colorful and yielding, but still snappy. The tofu and noodles were crispy at some of the edges and softer in the center, which led to each mouthful remaining interesting in flavor as well as texture.I found myself saying "mmm" a lot during this meal. I'm so glad we stopped by.Vegetarian options: Tofu is a consistently available option for protein in the meal choices. I can't speak to whether food is prepared with vegetarian or vegan considerations in mind.“

“This is a cute place to visit with delicious food! I love banh mi, and this was hands down the best I've had in a long time. I enjoyed everything. I came with my dad, my 3 little girls and my husband. They were very welcoming of our family, and had high chairs for the girls. We got them the wonton noodle soup and extra bowls were provided for them.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. Small plates and utensils with little kids cups for water.“
“Walking in on a Thursday early dinner 5 o clock hour and it was completely empty, soon after it was popping though but from what I observed, everyone was taken care of right away. Happy with the portions plated, the Bahn mi bread was great! Not so chewy, crispy and yummy. Contents in the sandwich was well spread too, I liked adding the papaya salad into the sandwich... the more the merrier. Would come again!“
“This place is amazing if your avid ramen lover. The food here is great especially their broth. The service there was great and the lady that served us was very kind. Also the place itself was very clean and pleasant. Would definitely go back with more people.“
“We were tired from a day of hiking and couldn’t decide where to eat. We thought Filipino food would be homey and just hit the spot for us. Googled and this was the closest from where we were. Closing time was 8:30 and we’d get there by 8pm. We decided we’d take out food so we didn’t bother them too much. But when we got there, we were greeted with warmth and love. We said we didn’t want to bother them but they insisted we dined in. Food was great and fresh.We even ordered takeout for breakfast. I’d recommend this place.“

“This is the best place for pho & banh mi on the west side 100%. The pho broth is so rich & flavorful, banh mi baguette is perfectly crispy, yet soft with amazing fillings of bbq flavors & crispy veggies. They also give you a side of broth, which is a nice touch. I’ve tried so many Vietnamese spots on the west side, and this place is hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant. Truly a hidden gem.“
“I grew up eating and loving fish & chips. H. Salt Esquire opened at Ala Moana Center was my first taste of it and I was hooked. I've tried so many different places since and I've only found a couple of places that satisfies my craving. Over the last month, I've seen others recognize Mililani Restaurant. I finally got to try it today and I was blown away! The fish pieces covered the entire plate. The fish was crispy, steaming hot and moist. Their tartar sauce had a slight kick which I like. The chips (fries) looked like they had a slight coating on it which made it very crispy and soft inside. One of two best fries on this island. We also tried their chicken katsu. It wasn't a normal panko crust. I could taste that they take an extra step by marinating the chicken and the coating turns into a light batter before frying. Marinating the chicken makes it come out juicer and flavorful. Portions are very generous and plenty enough for another meal. I'll be back again and again.“
