“I ordered thru UberEats as this was my 1st time ordering from this place. I ordered the Crispy Gau Gee (6 pc), Mini plate Chicken Katsu, Mini plate Teriyaki Beef, and the Fried Noodles (Spam and Fishcake).The food was really delicious, and the portions were worth the value. I definitely recommend anyone wanting some local food, order from here.“
“If you don't mind cooking and all you can buffet being $20 Monday-Thursday lunch time (Friday-Sunday a bit higher) you'll have awesome time and your moneys worth with the right company..Our go to spot every Tuesday (both our day off) new items added to both lunch and dinner is the fried mandoo and pancakes shown on pic..we love coming to the Pearl Ridge cause our server Jamie and the rest of the crew is amazing..awesome quality of food and customer service's..they treat you like family“
“Food so ono! Everything was delicious! We had the Eggplant, Lobster pasta, Scallops, & Beets. I never thought I'd be a Beet fan, but I couldn't get enough! I'll be back!*they have the option to order from your smartphone. Personally I don't like that, but it is efficient AND the staff is happy to take your order the good old fashioned way.“
“Hands down the best meal we had during a recent Hawai’i trip. Miro had been in our must-do list for some time and we certainly weren’t disappointed.Great cocktails to kick off and then a succession of delicious dishes, each beautifully presented and with intense flavours.Our first visit but not our last!“
“Restaurant: A Roy Yamaguchi restaurant, Eating House 1849 combines local foods, cultral heritage, and culinary skill to bring Hawaii's flavors to modern cuisine. Ambiance: Upscale local dining Parking: Lot parking at international market place. Service: Above expectation. Servers and hosts were happy to accomodate my party's preferences and went beyond to provide many congratulatory messages to make our night special. I would highly recommend Eating House for dining events when celebrating any momentous event. Food: I ordered the Build you Own Local Catch Dish with Kampachi, Steamed, Sizzling Serrano Ginger. You are able to customize your meal with the type of fish, method of preparation, and choice of sauce. Delicious all around, would reccomend. For dessert, I got the strawberry cheesecake. It was a strawberry ice jelly on the top of a cheesecake with crust. The cheesecake was as expected, but the strawberry jelly was a bit bland, tasting mostly like ice and a hint of strawberry. I was told it was a new item so hopefully they can perfect the recipe.“
“From the host to the servers and the bartenders, everyone was incredibly friendly and fun. We stayed an extra long time and felt welcome the whole time. Thank you to the staff for the great hospitality. Chef Chai didn't make it to our table, but it was nice seeing him in the restaurant mingling with customers.“
“there’s no shortage of good poke bowls in honolulu. this place is above average definitely but just short of special. its a solid takeout counter with very limited seating. i love that they give you miso soup on the side, which is awesome. i got the crunch bowl, and appreciated that they fresh fried the ebi tempura, instead of a big batch that sat around. so the owners really care about quality and presentation. i also like that they didn’t drown it in sauce. i think some may balk at the smaller portions, but it was just right for me. good choice if you are in the area“
“We had an absolutely amazing experience! I ordered the vegan 4 course and my friend had the Chef's 10 course. First of all, it's difficult to find a vegan course menu from a fine dinning restaurant, the taste was outstanding! From the, beet salad, curried chow fun noodles, chickpea Madras over rice and finally the mango tapioca..every dish was perfection! My friend enjoyed every dish as well she said everything was absolutely delightful. She especially had high praises for the Samoan crab shumai, duck confit katsu bao, squid luau agnolotti and the condensed, flavorful, out of this world 90 day dry age beef.The strawberry panna cotta was to die for! First unsure if she could finish a 10 course meal but she finished everything happily! We had the most delightful first class dinner, thank you PAI Honolulu. You are one of the BEST Restaurant in town!“
“I arrived and started looking over the menu and at all of their different sushi/bento combos. Very overwhelming to navigate for my first time, but no big deal I eat sushi 100+ times /year. Sometimes every day twice a day.I ended up ordering the salmon/ahi poke bowl along with a samurai Maki. I also tried to order a "tuna avocado maki". This is where my problems started. The guy taking orders told me "we don't have that on the menu". I asked, can you make it for me and charge whatever you need to charge. He doubled down and said "we can't do that. We can make the spicy ahi Maki or an ahi hand roll and add avocado". Again I said, I don't want that. That comes with cucumber and spicy tuna. I would like a Maki roll with ahi tuna and avocado, that is all.At this point he still refused to make it so I said forget it, ill just stick with the poke bowl and samurai roll.When my food arrived (I ate in the location), he pushed the tray too hard at me and spilled the miso soup. (Not a lot, but I could tell he didn't like me from our exchange about the tuna avocado Maki and this was probably a subconscious action. He asked if I wanted another, I said no its fine.Lastly, the spoon for the miso soup is basically flat. I had a very difficult time eating with the spoon because you can't pick up any liquid with it. I ended up just picking up the bowl and drinking.The flavor and quality of the sushi was excellent and I had no issues along those lines.I hope this review helps the owner / management correct a few service related issues to improve this location!“
“They excel at everything. They make the best burger I have ever had in my life and make it with precision every time I get it. I don't think they make an item that I don't love. Friends all agree. It's where we go for celebrations. I love their coffee.Vegetarian options: They make all food excellent. However they really do their best with meat and fish.Wheelchair accessibility: They were able to accommodate my wheelchair. It's tight but folks help when asked.“
“Delicious and thoughtful tasting menu with wine pairing. Fresh and flavorful ingredients with friendly and professional service. I am a big man (6'5", 240 lbs.) and I suggested I might still be hungry after the tasting menu, so our server gave us sliders on the house, which filled me right up and were delicious. We highly recommend... Mahalo, MW! :)“
“The food is simply amazing. We ordered the nikitama udon, kake udon and the chicken katsu curry. Talk about insane flavor hitting all the right spots. We also tried the large katsu, tempura, tempura crab, croquette and tamagoyaki. Staff are very polite and attentive. The asian cashier working was very friendly and one of the most kindest i have seen in honolulu. Will definitely eat at a marugame udon again.Kid-friendliness: Udon“
“Get the Bibimbap! Best item I've seen on the menu. Super colorful, flavorful and diverse bowl. My mother got the kalbi and was staring at my plate the entire time. Needless to say she'll get the bibimbap next time. Real good portion “
“This place is good all around. My only gripe is as other reviewers have said: They're pretty skimpy on the meat for the price! I ordered the pho combo meat along with the summer shrimp rolls. While the beef balls were two pieces cut in half but decently-sized, the brisket and raw meat pieces were barely two slices each. As far as the tripe, it was barely a spoonful. With the $3 charge for extra noodles that made my price about $21 for just the pho, the restaurant can do better in the meat area.However, the drip coffee was excellent. Just don't come by later and tell me to pour it into the cup of ice I asked for like you did next time. Clearly, since I ordered this drink that's not even on the menu, I've eaten Vietnamese food and drunk this drink before and know what I want and how/when to do it.The chili paste I also asked for that you had and didn't automatically bring out with the hosin and Sriracha sauces were also excellent.All in all, I would come and eat here again.“
“Delightful dinner at Kala Hale! Every dish and every different item on each dish had distinct and complementary flavors and textures. Ahi special was excellent; holu lei salad crisp and tasty; desserts just right. Don’t miss the vanilla ice cream — often overlooked on menus but not here. And goes well with banana pudding. Friendly service, staff gave helpful information and smiles all around.“
“I thought $18 for a plate of shrimp curry was a little expensive until I ate it and realized they could raise the price to $25 and I would buy it again! It's was worth every penny. The restaurant was clean and very well maintained I just wish they had a full size dining area. The service of the food was surprisingly quick and easy. I will definitely be back one day to try more items on the menu. I recommend this restaurant to all my friends and family 9/10. Well done.“
“We had the fish and chips and the brisket. The brisket was absolutely amazing. The flavors were complex in the meat was very tender. The fish and chips were delicious. There was nothing left on our plate afterwards.We enjoyed the pineapple tea and that was very refreshing as well. We finished it off with a delicious, soft peanut butter cookie. This may look like a cafeteria, but this food is high-end restaurant quality.“
“Good & legit ramen, with legit noodles! My number one pet peeve about most ramen places in Hawaii is they use the chinese-egg-noodle-kind "ramen noodles" and it definitely ain't the same. They also do the broth here really good. Their egg and charsu is also super on point. COME HERE!! 10/10“
“Parking lot is on the left side of the storeYou can park two cars vertically, but when parking, please pull up to the wall next door, as business vehicles come in and out of the store.There are many posts about meals, so please refer to them.I always stop by on my way home from Diamond Head. It was very delicious.“
“Beautiful interior design and very clean looking. Our server was Anthony, he was great. Very attentive and friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and makes great conversation every time he comes by the table. Got to try a bit of everything on the menu, and everything was great. Loved the Ulu Two Ways, Saimin Soup Dumplings, and Braised Short Rib (so tender and flavorful, we could've had two more servings!) Sad that we weren't able to try the Pinakbet since I was looking forward to trying something I'm familiar with, but I understand. The Fried Ube Potato Pie was so good and a great way to finish off the meal. They also offer Dino Nuggets for the kids in a cool dinosaur plate so that's great too! Overall had an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend this restaurant.“
“Was here last year and found it disappointing.BUT. TRIED AGAIN TODAY AND WOW!!;food was amazing from ribs to parmesan bread to shrimp ravioli yummmmIf I had to pick anything souflee took to long even though I ordered at the startm but it is worth the wait ..l“
“Looking forward to coming back ! Their handmade rolls are very unique and pack a flavorful punch. It was a first time experience biting into an eggroll that had a range from avocado to shrimp to burger meat. When I went there, the different types of flavors presented were: the traditional vietnamese roll, a crab rangoon roll, in & out roll, taco roll, shrimp roll, bacon & egg roll, and avocado roll. It was super hard to choose just a couple to try out, so instead I just got the sampler which is where you get each roll.My personal favorite would have to be either the avocado or taco roll. When eating the avocado roll, it tasted very fresh and vibrant. In the avocado roll there’s onion, tomato, and cilantro. All combined makes an amazing roll to enjoy with all friends and family. What I’m most shocked about is that the rolls are never soggy and are not burnt.The workers at the local farmers market were a pleasure to meet. When waiting you could jam out to their music which is what I did. Definitely should ask how they choose the name for the taco roll, it’s a silly and cute story. 10/10 would go again to grab some of their amazing rolls and vibe with music“
“The service from my male waiter at the bar seat on Thursday night was superb. He helped me order half portion as I was alone and gave good recommendations. The meat in the Pho 75 melts in your mouth. The escargot dish is a wonderful texture journey and a 10/10 down : fluffy outer crust and soft juicy escargot inside. The ahi toast was a pretty good intro dish. The fried chicken wing was good but not too special.The portion is generous , I was way too full at the end (4 dishes).“
“The food was off the hook, good amout for the price. Only reason i didn't give a 5 cause Customer service was bad. Even if your having a bad day, or getting slammed with orders. Atleast great the Customer with aloha or welcome. On the phone rolling his eyes, like i was interupting him. Food can be great, but Customer service can ruin the taste. Also, if ordering on the app it does ask for different amounts of tipping. I'm glad i chose the smallest. If you don't pick, it don't get the online discount....hmmm?“
“at noon on Saturday.It's relatively empty.The staff are very pleasant and the water service is also nice.I love Pioneer Saloon.I've had many different plate lunches, but the ribeye is the best.I like brown rice and saladToday's tofu salad.It has a lot of ginger and tofu.It was very delicious.The sauce, meat, and grilling quality of this ribeye is really great.Plate lunch over pricedRibeye 20$Mochico chicken & octopus 10$sorry“
“I love this place.I've been going for years now, and I always have a great time. The food is amazing, the music is great, and the staff are always friendly. I'm a vegetarian, but the food here is so good that I don't even miss meat!“
“Uncle's Chicken is a small chicken shop located near Sakana in Kalihi. I placed a 5 chicken sandwich order around 11:20 and was quoted 15 minutes. I left downtown to grab the food right after and my food was ready by the time I got there. Very impressive chicken sandwich. I got the spicy one and it was only spicy in certain parts of my sandwich, which is why I gave minus one star. It seems like I was eating the original sandwich and put hot sauce in one spot of my sandwich. Other than that, the chicken was moist and crispy. The bread was so good. Seemed like a sweet bread bun. Definitely put the sandwich together. I think one thing I wish they included was pickles. That would make the sandwich complete! I would definitely come back if I was ever in the area. Their boba drinks look very impressive too.“
“Made a reservation for 5 people at 6:00 PM, was a few minutes behind seating us but not a big deal. Ordered the Specialty Thick Cut Pork Loin Katsu set which was delicious. I'm a fan of both pork and chicken katsu's and felt the quality was worth it. Note the specialty orders they only carry so much per day. Late Dinner times might not have any left.Any Katsu set comes with unlimited Miso Soup, Cabbage, and rice. Had at least 1 refill of each side which was perfect for me after being in the sun and hiking all day.Would recommend a reservation for any party bigger than 2. Saw some folks ordering take out. We did not park here as our hotel was 1 mile away and decided to walk instead of taking the rental car.“
“I would eat here everyday for every meal if it didn't hurt my wallet and health. ?I LOVE laksa and I can't get enough of it. The soup is so delicious and addictive ? ? I can say that I love laksa more than ramen ?.Other favorites: curry look funn, hainai chicken rice.“
“This is review is long over due. Dell's Kitchen is one my goto spots for an affordable plate local/japanese food. I've tried their Kawagoe Karaage, Kurobuta Pork Katsu, and Nori Chicken. The Karaage is my favorite and the most affordable as well. It comes with a sweet mustard dipping sauce, a coleslaw type salad, rice, and some other veggies. The portions are generous. And they have a dining area inside with complimentary water. They also have a sister restaurant next door that serves pasta dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant if in the mood for some good tasting and affordable local Japanese food.“
“Hidden Gem in the Neighborhood!We stumbled upon Hangry Mama Bar & Kitchen last night, a true hidden gem in our neighborhood that has been delighting locals for a year now. The fried noodles, rib eye steak, and the pork belly wrap on a sizzling plate were all top-notch. The pork belly wrap with cheese and sauce was incredibly scrumptious, making a return visit inevitable to explore more of their enticing menu. The ambiance is fantastic, staff are friendly and welcoming, and the cleanliness of both the place and restroom is commendable. The AC unit works wonders, and the decor adds to the overall charm. Karaoke was a blast and a special shout-out to Shania for making our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you, Hangry Mama, for a memorable evening! Happy Holidays and wishing you all great success in the new year. ALOHA“
“Food is amazing and the servers were very attentive. We did the premium package and it was all worth it. The kids really enjoyed the beef tongue. The duck breast just melted in your mouth. There wasn't one item that we didn't savor. The matcha ice cream is to die for.“
“I have been to many fine dining restaurants in Europe and the US and the New Years dinner I had with my husband at AV was absolutely our favorite! I understand the critical points in the other reviews, the seating options could definitely be optimized a bit to allow more privacy, yet, there is really nothing critical i could say about the staff. They were very attentive and made our dinner possible even though there was a mistake with our reservation. The food was an absolute highlight, every dish was full of flavor and delicious. Also the surprise dish is a very creative and much appreciated idea. From all the dining out experiences I had in Hawaii, this is the one that left a lasting impression.“
“This is my favorite Pho in Waikiki, maybe in all of Oahu! Food is great, owners are amazing. Support this local business!!! My recommendation is the vermicelli salad with shrimp, so ono. DO NOT park at 7-eleven, good chance you will get towed. I watched 2 vehicles get towed in 30 minutes. My husband loves their pho. For the pic I posted I got extra shrimp and no spring roll. Trying to be healthier... but I did miss the fried deliciousness!!!“
“Went here for lunch the other day with the work buddy. It's been a while since I ate here, so wanted to check if it still had the ono grinds. I didn't eat breakfast, so I decided to the BEAST BOWL. Wish we could've got some midday libations but we were still working. It wasn't that crowded when we were seated but by the time we left it was getting full. Got my BEAST BOWL, oh my words it had the meats, the umami, the meats, the noodles, the meats, the gooey egg, did I mention the MEATS. According to work buddy, I could've just said some of the meat and had it later with rice as snack or something, but why would I do that, you needs to eat all of the MEATS. I mean buggah was very filling and I am bulking for the summer. Hah. Anyways, the brisket and short ribs were soooo tender. The oxtail won ton, wrapped meaty goodness. I shouldn't have eaten it all, but I had to. Broth was nice and rich. KANAK ATTACK. It's a good thing we walked from the office, so the opu had chance for digest all the MEAT. I forgot the name of what work buddy got, but she liked and had some self control and saved some of her dish for snack time later. All in all, they still have the good eats. Staff was friendly and attentive. Place was chill and good vibes.“
“This cafe is a place you MUST try!Parking: There is a lot of parking spaces near the cafe. My family parked at a paid parking space for $7 dollars for an hour (this is including tax). There were also free spots you could park at.Kid-friendliness: The owner, his wife, and their mother in law very extremely kind and welcoming. They recognize peoples faces and know their names. They all have beautiful big smiles and the kids loved them and the food! They also had conversations with our kids and gave us free tapioca deserts! Wonderful people, best place we ate at hawaii, and will definitely try again when we come back!Wheelchair accessibility: My family and I ate in and saw many people with wheelchairs enter the cafe. They have lots of seating and have a wide door so it is very accessible for people with and without wheelchairs.“
“Great food. A little on the pricey side but everything is more expensive now. Think of this place as the Whole Foods of plate lunches. Loco moco was delicious and the steak risotto was ono and they gave a lot of risotto. The fresh catch - Mahi was moist and flavorful. Service is ok - friendly but had to repeat the order a couple of times on the phone. Wish they had online ordering, plus they don't include what sides are available on the website. Limited parking and sitting area on the park benches. Basically a take out place. Highly recommended that you call in your order as there is usually a wait time.“
“The waffles are amazing and were made especially the way I liked them! I like my waffles pretty plain but they have a large assortment of fresh toppings to choose from. But most especially, it's the people that kept me coming back day after day during my two week trip in Hawaii.“
“I celebrated my 33rd birthday here and it was amazing!!! Ke-von, our server, was absolutely incredible & very knowledgeable about the menu. He made my birthday very special & memorable. Mika was also amazing & the management was very attentive. Our glasses were never empty! The food was phenomenal - highly recommend the miso butterfish & whole crispy fish!! Thank you !!! ? “
“My wife and I booked a reservation at Vein after viewing the photos and reading several reviews on Yelp. So, on Thursday, 4 April 2024, there we were. First, we want to salute the entire staff. We have never seen such a hard-working group. Our meal started with an Aperol Spritz and a Negroni 13, accompanied by Karaage artichoke hearts and grilled Tako. Both of these starters and the drinks were superb. Next, we ordered lamb and Pistachio pasta. The grilled lamb was the best we've ever had, anywhere on the planet. The bucatini pasta was perfectly al-dente, covered in a house sauce of puree and pistou pistachio nuts, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Prosciutto di Parma. This unusual creation was a first for us, and it was exceptional. Finally, we shared Creme Brulee and their fabulous Bread Pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Whew! This place is welcoming and comfortable. We never felt rushed. The Head Chef, Mr. Jordan Harris, was most gracious, taking the time to chat with us. He even added a special gift to our go bag! We will most definitely return! Five stars!“
“Stephanie was an amazing server. We arrived early although we already had a reservation, they were happy to seat us. Ended up tucked in a corner which was nice given the occasion. We ordered the house gyoza (delicious, very flavor ful), caprese salad (always my fav) and the spring rolls (a little bland) to start. I chose the Pad Thai med spicy with chicken. I loved it, great portion size. He chose the Japanese curry with Karagae chicken. Couldn't end the night without dessert, our server recommended a seasonal special chocolate banana brulee cake. Couldn't get enough even with everything we had. Already made plans to return for more! Mahalo Panya for making our first a many for the books!“
“Phenomenal. I hadn’t ate there in a couple years. It was solid before and now it’s amazing. Party of 13, amazing food. Chicken, soup dumplings, larb, all on point. We got the 9 course meal. - every course was delicious. Highly recommend this place. Only negative is the parking, everything else is awesome.“
“I recently visited Uncle Troy's during a layover in Honolulu and I must say that I had a wonderful experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the fried noodles with spam, cocktails, and shots during my time. I also need to give huge shout out and thank you to Priscilla aka "Silla" because she was sweet, attentive, and provided the BEST customer service during my experience. Plus, they have karaoke! If I am ever in Honolulu again, I will be sure to visit Uncle Troy's. Thank you so much, Silla!“
“When a group of people go out to have a drink at a bar, the rum fire comes.It's in the Sheraton, so it's easy to find as a meeting place. You can also bring your children.Some of the tequilas are of a very high quality, so you can go all out or have a cocktail.“
“The service was unbelievably good. Nigiri and rolls were so good. The hamachi garlic rolls are insane. Must order.Wagyu sliders, pork belly yakatori, literally nothing was less than fantastic. Sake flight was just perfect. And the strawberry limeade was one of the best lemonades I’ve ever had.“
“We came here for Bobae's handroll night but also wanted to try some of the other food the bar menu offers. Parking lot is right next door or they have street parking. We sat down and were given a menu. Fiance ordered a beer (they don't have draft) and I got the papaya salad- lao style at medium spicy. Wow the papaya salad was great. Even though I got medium it was spicy but still tolerable. My water was refilled a lot that night hahaha. Will be coming back to try the nem Khao, wings, and crab fried rice.“
“The best Thai restaurant I've ever tried in my life!! The pad Thai tastes like no pad Thai I've ever tried before from other Thai restaurants in Hawaii and their yellow curry is filled with many different spices and the mild version had just the right amount of kick. The tofu with the pad Thai was huge and super delicious, especially with the lime wedge. The seafood in the yellow curry included a couple of clams/oysters, which I've never seen before in curries but was very delicious! Their sticky rice is also quite good, all white rice unlike the purple grains other places sometimes offer. The staff is also extremely considerate, professional, and goes the extra mile. It's very clean and well-maintained inside with lots of tables. This is our new spot for Thai food!!“
“Fine dining presented by professional staff with top notch dishes. Highly recommend the Sashimi Bowl and Mahimahi with lobster and oyster sauce. The steamed clams were also choice as was Aunties Mai Tai and the gelato.Parking: Use upper parking deck for best access.“
