   Service was a little slow and delayed (was a Monday, seemed like 1 server there). Food just average (for nachos and calamari). Drinks tasted watered down (mostly ice melt) and a bit too sweet. Sitting outside on the street side is nice to be outside but loud with the other groups on the balcony too. Was pretty excited to come but will be trying other places before returning.

   Extensive food items and original craft cocktails I had are all outstanding! Honolulu Cosmo, Fuji Apple, Hawaiian Pink Squirrel are so good! I agree with that they have been here in Waikiki for 13 years. Highly recommend.

   I was disappointed. The food was awful & when I didn’t tip the server enough she ran down the stairs to basically complain that I didn’t tip her enough. I dont recommend!!

    What a cute spot! Can watch the fireworks from the back patio on Friday nights. Great value off the busy Waikiki strip. Food was tasty and fun, the nachos on rice chips were awesome, loved the poke bowl and the surf and turf. Great service, attentive but not too much to be annoying. Thank you to the staff!

    Great experience! Food was really good, particularly the pork carbonara noodles, an amazing fusion dish that I would return for constantly if we lived here. Warm and a little smoky and just delicious. Everyone else had he Ahi, which was also good, but I definitely won the table with mine.

    Delish! I used to go here pre-covid and had a cheese pizza with some sort of hot honey on it and one of the best spicy tuna rolls of my life! We just went for Valentine’s Day and had delicious food and chill ambiance- great prices and very cute. Last year I took my friends from the mainland there on their first visit to Hawaii and they still rave about the food! Gonna go back and get more garlic edamame asap

    Disappointed— After we were seated the server ignored us while he laughed and spoke with guest 3 feet away our table . After 10 minutes passed I asked him who was our server .. it was him . He said I’ll be with you shortly. He came up to the table and said are you ready to order .. he never gave us a menu… we left .

    My latest obsession is the black chicken nanban on their appetizer menu. I could eat that as a meal itself! Served hot and fresh, the chicken is nice and juicy.

    Would call this Hawaiian fusion with strong Japanese / Korean influences even modifying loco moco. All excellent and interesting (in a nice way). I would definitely come again to sample more of the varied menu.

    Very disappointed. Chair had a whole in it. Drinks were awful and both food and drink took way too long to come and not great. We decided on appetizers and left. Ordered a glass of Sake, got a shot in terms of volume, and asked why not a glass as advertised for $14 dollars. She came back with the same drink just in a glass but not more liquid. Sent back and asked for glass of red wine which was old and clearly had been open for way too long. Two bathrooms, only one of which you could lock the door (which was bad as opened right in front of the bar). Just not great on any front.

    Amazing- could not believe how reasonable the $ was, for Hawaii was a pleasant surprise! Staff were awesome, hubbys bday and they were wonderful to us. Food was unbelievably good. Wood go beck in a heartbeat- highly recommend. Reservations highly recommended, but we booked that morning- if sitting outdoors (which recommend) request front patio, but honestly front or back you will enjoy yourself.

    Arrived from a late flight on New Years Eve and managed to get a last minute reso on the balcony at 11:30! It was perfect. We could only see a bit of fireworks in both directions but the food and service was amazing and they even gave us complimentary shots for after the countdown. We both enjoyed our Genius cocktail drinks and the authentic Hawaiian food! We recommend the locomoco in the stone bowl and the spicy chicken appie!
