“I visited for the first time in February of 2023 and loved it. We didn't have an agenda other than to relax. Getting ready to make our second trip next month. Is it fancy? No, but the peace is worth more than gold. If you're looking for a peaceful and relaxing stay....wait, why am I telling you all about this place? I'm sure you can find a better place to suit your needs and desires. This probably isn't what you're looking for. I hear that the military resort in Korea is nice. You should check it out.”

A real old dive for a day in driving from beach to beach.
Sweet people, meets or exceeds every expectation if you have realistic expectations.
Cute and fun.”

“The reason we went to Jack in the box is because, on 1st year anniversary, we were to Hawaii and we spent all of our money and the only thing you can afford for the last day, was he Jack in the box. So we decided to go back again for a 30th anniversary. I still love the tacos.”

Delicious Ice cream, clean store and incredibly nice person who helped us.

So glad we stopped in.”

“These guys take creative to a whole new level! Well done!”

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!”

“As usual, the Tasting Experience menu option was outstanding! Perfectly paired with uniquely concocted libations of botanicals, fruits, and spirits, each course was a delightful original experience we savored and wished would never end. The impeccable service continues to exemplify the highest standard of how dining out should be — timely, personable, educative and mutually respectful. Hats off again to Head chef Ki Chung and his perfectly choreographed staff, shout out to Jason and Jared!”

“No waiting early morning dining! Great service! Yummo food!”

“This is, hands down, the best restaurant in Hawaii. My wife and I first came here two years ago right after I proposed—it also happened to be her birthday—and we’ve made it our annual tradition to return for her birthday ever since.

​It never disappoints. The Ahi Cigar is a mandatory starter, and the Grilled Romaine is a total sleeper hit—a very pleasant surprise. If you’re a fan of rich flavors, the Bone Marrow is absolutely delicious. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but it’s the consistent quality and memories that keep us coming back every year”

“Sushi Sho is truly one of my favorite omakase experiences anywhere in the world. I’ve had sushi in Japan, Korea, and across the U.S., and this place still stands out as one of the very best. I’ve already visited four times in the past six months.

Reservations are very difficult to get because the full experience is at the chef’s counter, and there are only a limited number of seats. But once you sit down and start the meal, you immediately understand why it’s so sought after.

The ingredients are exceptionally fresh, and every piece is prepared with incredible care and precision. Each visit has been memorable and honestly a little emotional in the best way. My personal favorite is the ankimo, which is absolutely outstanding.

I loved it so much that I ended up bringing my whole family here as well. If you appreciate true omakase, this place is something special and absolutely worth the effort to reserve.”

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.”

“Came to Nana’s Green Tea at Stix Asia with two cars (4 people total). The posted requirement for parking validation is a $20 minimum spend at a Stix Asia eatery. Fair enough.

We initially spent under $40 on one bill and received validation for one car. Since we had two cars, we purchased an additional drink to bring the total well over $40. However, we were told they could not provide a second validation because the $20 minimum must be on a single ticket. The shift manager explained that employees could get in trouble for honoring it otherwise.

The issue is that the TV screen simply states “$20 minimum spent at a Stix Asia eatery,” which implies total spending qualifies. The single-receipt requirement was not clearly communicated. As a result, I ended up paying $6 for nearly an hour of parking ($3 per half hour).

If someone is only craving one drink or dessert, it doesn’t make sense to force additional purchases just to qualify for validation. Policies like this discourage customers from returning. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.”

“Their hawaiian plate was so Ono & the portions were big. Highly recommended.”

“Very good food.”

“Wonderful Chinese food at moderate prices and with fast and friendly service, but there was a short wait cue. Meals focus on soups with Chinese noodles, and a some rice based meals. My wife enjoyed the beef and green beans with rice lunch.”

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.”

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.”
