I ordered a neat pour of whiskey and was pleasantly surprised by their selection.

The service is efficient and straightforward, no fluff, and overall it's just a solid sports bar to hang out and watch a game.

There is no official paperwork for service animals and asking for documentation like that shows a complete lack of understanding of the law. Rather than deal with a power-tripping security guard who clearly had no idea what he was talking about, we chose to leave. Pretty ridiculous experience and not a place I'd recommend if this is how guests are treated.

I found so many things that looked great on the menu, to include fried gizzards, boneless Kal Bi ribs, fully loaded fried rice, Mac salad and other stuff I can't recall! So the TWO of us ordered way too much! We tried to eat as much as we could and ended up taking the rest home! Everything we ordered was delicious, so we knew we were going to eat good leftovers! The restaurant was a great place to go with a group to eat and watch sports! Our Waitress (I have to remember to get names) was a track star, she was running to and from several tables of groups to deliver food! I will go again if they reopen!

If you're visiting Hawaii with a big group, 100% recommend taking them here…read more We initially were a party of 16, and showed up without a reservation at 6pm on a Saturday. The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

Parking at this location is a little tough. They offer valet or you can find street parking or there's a tiny garage lot that you can pay for. Overall a good experience.

I Remember When…read more.... A tribute to icon, legendary Colin Nishida, founder, visionary, chef, friend - taken from us too early in life .... I remember Colin used to be the "kitchen mama" in one of the local bars Colin opened Side Street Inn on Hopaka Street, then a small (and I mean SMALL) little local bar with delicious local style foods Colin expanded the Hopaka street location but it was not enough.... Then Colin opens the Kapahulu location .... Then receives an award for great chef Then expanded further the Hopaka location and all the while.... His original fried rice and pork chops remain top of the list Yes, the menu has expanded, and the flavors remained very "local" Yes, it is pricey as today, there is no food dish that price is less than $20. This is a family style dining restaurant. For example. The original fried rice $26 feeds six people. Go figure! I won't beat this thing to death and will end it by saying Colin will always be missed, his food remains still same and tasty as he had designed it to be. Staff friendly as ever. Price? I've always been a believer that you get what you pay for and then some. Side street Inn is the epitome of you get what you pay for and then some Go there or be square

This place is located on the second floor of South Shore near Nordstrom Rack. This place was spacious and had a bar style vibes. There is a bar counter in the back as well as a lot of dine-in tables. Dynamite fried boneless chicken bites: We got this on their happy hour menu. The chicken bites were good. It was large and meaty. The breading was good. Crispy and seasoned. It wasn't hot temperature wise though. Garlic bacon fried rice: Wow, absolutely love this fried rice. So much flavor and very savory. The yellow pickles in the rice were very smart. Adds some crunchy texture and tangy taste to it. Fish and chips: The fish was good, moist and golden crispy. The tsukudani aioli was delicious. A very different aioli sauce. We got an upgrade on the fries and chose the truffle parmesan fries. Good truffle flavor and the fries were thin and crispy. Not enough parmesan on top though. Overall, really enjoyed their foods. The portions were big and perfect for sharing. The service was not bad, our server was friendly but she did disappear afterwards so we had to go to the bar counter to fill our waters on our own. It wasn't busy during the early evening hours but I can see this place pick up later toward the night.
