Worst worst worst service and felt racism!!!!!I visited last week and ordered pizza and pastaThen employee keep asking me “may I bring bill?” even though I did not complete eating a meal. Then I asked employee to bring 2 cup of water and she didn’t and brought payment billSurrounding me, there’s no Asian and others are all white person so I felt racism from herI was so angry and I didn’t pay tips when I paid but I found employee paid 5$tips by my credit card without any agreementI strongly litigate this store !!!!!

My husband and I are from Sydney Australia, we had just finished the Diamond Head walk and wanted something that was close to where we’re staying. We both loved the food. We got the entree of schezwan (not sure how to spell) chicken dumplings, this was soo good, I want more, I had the cauliflower crust bbq chicken pizza which was so good, and my husband had the works pizza, he was very happy with that. Our service was amazing, she was so accomodating! We highly recommend!Dietary restrictions: The option of gluten free was surprising as you don’t see much of that!

Great pizza spot in the heart of Waikiki. There's also a balcony seating area overlooking Kalakaua Avenue. The vibe is chill, and the pizza is delicious. Pizzas are customizable, or you can order a specialty. We ordered a half pepperoni & jalapeño, half meatballs & mushroom pizza between the two of us. There are salads and other sides as well as free bread if you like.

Have been here many times over decades.. we do take-away.. which is really easy, no queues.. just go to the bar at the back.. food is prompt and honestly pretty damn delicious.. and really the price is probably 2/3 the cost of some of my other favourite pizza places in the area.. Dont think their pasta or other dishes are in the same category, but highly recommend their pizzas.

outstanding tomato soup!!! the Thai salad was good, kung Pao spaghetti was a hit, cocktails were good, and really enjoyed the olive oil + balsamic plate for the bread.We had a new waiter and he was very sweet, attentive and prompt. Very pleasant experience.

This is a nice pizza place. I went here while visiting Honolulu and was satisfied with my experience. I walked into here and was seated at a table, where I ordered a lemonade with no ice and a cheese pizza on thin crust, which came with an additional $1.50 charge. The lemonade was okay and the pizza was pretty good. It was a standard cheese pizza with red sauce and cheese, but it also had some ricotta cheese on it, a pleasant surprise.After eating I left, satisfied with my experience. I gave this restaurant five stars because it has good pizza.Parking: There’s no street parking but it’s by a mall with a parking garage.

The food was pretty good, but I don't know if it's because I'm Japanese or just a coincidence, but I can't believe that my request was left unattended twice. It's obvious that it wasn't my English proficiency, but that I was busy and forgot the next thing.The menu is also in Japanese, so I think many Japanese people will go there, but I don't recommend it.

This was the worst experience I've ever had at a restaurant in my entire life. To start, the wait for all of the members of my party to get food was over 2.5 hours. Half of our food was served inedible, cold, and unappealing. Our waitress lied to us and said there was one cook in their kitchen, even though they had an open kitchen with four cooks visible. Although our waitress was assertive, the general manager did nothing to help the "struggling" kitchen and just meandered around the dining area doing unimportant business instead. DO NOT GO HERE. (unless you want overpriced, disgusting food with horrible service and an extended wait)

We waited 20minutes for our drinks (just wine, beer, water and a coke so no complicated cocktails) in the end had to get up and ask where they were. We overheard a waitress telling another table that there was only one pizza chef in the kitchen tonight so big delays on food - it would have been nice if we had been told that before we were seated. When our pizzas did come (and ours didn't take too long) they were cold, overcooked and pretty tasteless. We ate them because we were hungry and had already waited 45mins. We were extremely disappointed with our meal and the service tonight

Our server, Max, was absolutely stellar. The food was good, very generous portions and delicious salad. We enjoyed sitting outside.

The wait on getting my order taken was not worth the food. There should be no reason people who come in 10 minutes after me gets served before I get my order taken. I do not recommend.
