Private room - nice!
Nadine C.

Karaoke time in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... We all got a chance to try a place that's new to us! Bliss Lounge on Dillingham Boulevard was a pleasant change of atmosphere! The clean, convenient restrooms and free shared parking lot (with Soul Chicken, Hana Tea, Lox of Bagels, and Yohei Sushi) were much appreciated! We decided to sit in the private room (instead of the lounge with the stage). The friendly female worker thought that we could make the $100 room minimum easily. Yes! We ordered the Chicken Combo (honey Chicken, French Fries, shoyu chicken, and mandoo); pan-seared ribeye (with mushrooms and onions), three diet Cokes, and a pitcher of fresh strawberry soju. Everything was delicious! Mr. Park helped us with the sound system. He was polite and patient with our questions. He also encouraged us to return on a weekday when soju is half off! LOL! Note: songs were $2 each. Feed the bills into the machine. $20 bills are acceptable.

Karaoke, Friends and Chicken...our own KFC! Gathering at Bliss Lounge is the base behind Soul...literally as the storefront for Soul Chicken where you can find amazing fried chicken is made in Bliss Lounge which makes this a unique find. Along with Nadine, Peter and a friend arrived in the evening on a Saturday night and was surprised how empty it was a very spacious place with lots of bar top tables, a few booths and even a stage the vibe is a dark bar dive scene but was greeted by a sweet lady as I arrived a bit early. She showed me their private karaoke room in the back and it was nice and big enough to hold 8 adults with comfortable a/c light dimmer though an annoying disco ball that we couldn't figure out how to turn off lol! Yes we decided on the private room and it's free with minimum $100 food and drink purchase and songs are $2 each and make sure to ask for the English remote though with the device way up top entering songs was the real struggle of the night. We ordered Boneless Chicken Combo with Mandoo and Fries, Pan-seared ribeye Steak, and I had to get some Homemade real Fruit Soju (Strawberry) and this carnivore feast was delicious so bring your tribe and come hungry and the time limit for $100 feast in the private room is about 2hrs...depends on how busy they are we were told. They were very polite but just felt a bit condescending many times over the period we were there.

comfortable booths

This place is associated with Soul Chicken. Their fried chicken comes from here. Auntie and I stopped by Soul Chicken for lunch one day. They had a few tables on the outside. The really nice cashier asked if we wanted to sit inside in the A/C instead. We said ok. We were the first customers in there that day so she just turned on the A/C. Two other tables soon followed. It was nice on the inside and the booths were comfortable. They also have karaoke if you like to sing. This place must be busy at night. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom after eating the chicken. I was surprised at how clean it was.

Been enjoying the Korean fried chicken and gimmari sold here for many months now. Today I got to hang out a bit inside Bliss Lounge. The food is from the adjoining business "Soul Chicken" and deeeelicious! My favorites so far being the KFC and the gimmari. They also have mandoo, onion rings, french fries, pork belly with kim chee, pan seared ribeye steak, and more. Comfort bar food! Looking forward to trying more dishes. The inside is casual comfortable and set up for fun times with friends. There is karaoke available in their main lounge as well as their private room that seats "maximumish" 10 persons (Additional persons maybe able to fit but could get a little stuffy inside). Karaoke is priced at $2 per song so if you are planning to sing, bring your dollar bills for the machine! Located in the same strip mall as Lox of Bagels and Hana tea on Dillingham. Entrance is just across Chicken and Brisket. Hang out with friends, eat some yummie food, sing a little (good for the digestion! :-) Protip: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nites many drinks half off or greatly discounted!

We were looking for bliss chicken after buying mochi at a place nearby and was surprised it was a karaoke bar. Come to find out it's all the same owner and they serve the same chicken, but here you can get stronger drinks and the combo is a better deal. A very pleasant, helpful and funny woman greeted us and made recommendations, which we went with and were very happy. She suggested the combo for $39 and the strawberry soju, both great recommendations. Also told us all Korean drinks, such as the soju juice we paid $24 are half off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Definitely plan to come back then. It's karaoke/bar and interesting at about 1:30 pm, but liked the music.

Wings were crispy and tasty, watermelon soju was on the thicker side with lots of real fruit. Great ambience and vibe here. Host was friendly and attentive.

We were missing our chicken and beer nights in Korea, so we we came to Soul Chicken (inside Bliss Lounge if the outside is closed).

The food brings me back to Korea, when we would have chicken and beer several hours after dinner. We took it to go, but maybe next time we'll stay to sing a song. Note:. Soul Chicken is inside Bliss Lounge after hours. So even if Soul Chicken is closed, u can still go inside the Karaoke bar.

Fresh fruit soju

We decided to come here on a Friday night.. my bf and I just decided to make it a thing to go to different places for "pau hana" fridays right after work. They were slow for a Friday.. but then again this place is still new. For a bottle of plain soju is $12. If you want it flavored its $15. We got their house made fruit soju it's mixed with fresh fruit.. but at the time they only had strawberry. Yall it was $25.. lol. It's was alright if you like your soju with extra pulp this is up your alley. I don't have a picture of how it looks inside but I liked the vibe. Some week nights they have live music, and I heard their chicken here is a must try! Will definitely try that next time. Our server Sandra was very nice!!

Chicken combo! So crispy
Heejin Y.

Came over for a drink with some friends. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to find big table. It is very pretty inside, the decor gave me old Korean bar vibes. I heard they serve Soul chicken!! My favorite. This is a fun hang out place, will definitely come back. Perfect for my golf friends gathering.

Outside Soul Chicken window to order. Drink options on the counter.

It's such a convenient place because you don't have to worry about parking. In addition to that, the place is pretty clean and spacious. It's a good place for a small gathering. I will have to say that it's kind of in the pricer side; but the portion and the amount of food is pretty good. With this economy and located in the Ward area, it's understandable. Truffle Bacon Penne Pasta 4.5/5: Surprisingly, the overall dish was not salty. It's actually pretty good for such price. The pasta is cook enough that's not overcooked or under cooked. It already comes with bacon, but I added grilled chicken for extra protein. The chicken is not salty, and it's tender and flavorful. Garlic shrimp 4.5/5: It's a food truck style garlic shrimp with rice. I will definitely get it again because it's sooo good! However, I do have to say that the shrimp was actually pretty salty. Buttt, it's sooo flavorful. You can tell they are not petty in garlic and butter because they put a lot of garlic and butter that each piece of the shrimp is coated evenly that absorbs the garlicky flavor. The shrimp is fresh and not overcooked. If you like rice, the rice will taste like heaven. The rice soaked all the garlic butter sauce, and mix it/eat with the garlic and the shrimp, it's just the right tastes.

We decided to give them another try after going years ago at their old location since we were…read moreshopping in the area. It seemed to be a slow day for them but two other tables came in shortly after us. The girl who sat and served us was very nice & checked on us often. We got our drinks in a timely manner but the food took about 45 minutes to get to us after ordering. The table who ordered before us got their plates one by one at separate times so I knew kitchen staff was low that day. When our food came out it was presented nicely, but the burger patties seemed unseasoned. I believe they're previously frozen which ok since they don't specify it's made in house but it just lacked seasoning unfortunately. It's not too loud In there, lots of TV's to watch sports & I saw the girl happily change it for an other table who wanted to watch something in particular. They were also out of a couple things which the server made us aware of, later I overheard more things were out after another couple tried to order. The service was great but the food was ok.

I sincerely thought it wouldn't be enough food to fill me up. I was wrong. My husband and I are usually big eaters and we were both full. He ordered a bucket of beers - 5 for $25 which was a nice deal. The Nonna's Special Drink - "Lost In Rome" was both pretty and delicious! The service was excellent! It's a family owned business and family operated. They are very friendly, down to earth, and it's easy to kind of feel like family, even as a customer because of how easily they chat and talk to you as if you've known them a long time. Upon first walking in to the main entrance, it felt a little strange since this used to be a Foodland. But when we were sitting at the bar talking story, we kind of forgot that we were sitting in one small eatery that is a part of a larger food court type environment. It was a Friday night, which apparently is salsa night. There was an open area kind of in the middle of all the eateries where there was a couple teaching salsa to people who are interested in learning. From what it looked like it seemed that these were all individual people that showed up separately but partnered up to learn the dance. Overall, I would definitely recommend you check this place out. We liked it so much that we're going back again tomorrow night.

Friendly and personable, we were immediately remembered after our first visit. The soup is ono, the meatballs are awesome, and my fav is the Caprese salad. Enjoy your food at the bar where you can talk story all you like with the bartenders. Thursdays are line-dancing nights and Friday is salsa nights - both are very popular and everyone is friendly. Drink at Nonna's and enjoy the events.

I ordered their catch of the day, and my ono with lobster sauce was a tad overcooked and dry. It was not dry to the point of returning it, but definitely overcooked. Plus 1 ordered the shrimp scampi pasta. The shrimp were sautéed perfectly, however the Parmesan garlic crème sauce was lacking flavor. , Based on all the 4 and 5-star reviews, our experience was probably a one-off, so if you are visiting, you should give Nico's a try. If you are seeking a more upscale dining experience, Nico has another restaurant next door, Nico's Upstars, which has a more French cuisine influence reflecting Nico's French roots.

That restaurant is a little in the smaller side, but definitely a great place for brunch dates or a quick bite for a small group. All your fave food and more. The prime rib was excellent with delicious condiments - personal fave was the chimichurri. All the cocktails are great as well. Fave was the Bean Buzz martini (espresso martini but with cold brew). The staff there was so helpful and with choosing cocktails and being able to make some changes to drinks. When I originally made my res, I accidentally made it for 10:30pm rather than am. The waitress called to double check. I've never had someone call for my mistake. (Thank you so much Cynthia!) great bartender, and a man who kept egging me on to eat more (I'm not complaining).

From the outside of the restaurant, it looks closed, but you just need to slide the door open and they are fully operating. Abe greeted us and gave us a choice of where to sit. We opted for a small bench/cocktail seating on the right hand side of the establishment. We jokingly told Abe that the table maybe too small for all the food that we were about to order and he assured us that he would time the service so that the table wouldn't be overcrowded, to which he and the team executed well. The house fried potato chips were my favorite of the evening, as they were crispy and the aioli complimented it well. I personally would've liked more salmon on the pumpernickel dish. The beef and brioche dish was missing something as the flavors fell flat for me. And the brioche was a little too dry for my liking. Throughout our time there, Abe stopped by to check on us, and fully explained their libations, with great enthusiasm on the Whiskey Business portion. We'll be back to try these on another day. It's always a cute vibe here, on the darker moodier side in the evenings, perfect for a date night or get together to catch up with friends.
