    Kim chee fried rice
    Lizel M.

    We came here for karaoke and arrived early to reserve a room. With just three of us, they were able to accommodate us easily. The deal was to spend $150 on food and drinks, plus $2 per song for karaoke. I appreciated that the bathrooms were clean, which is always a nice touch. The food was great, and we ordered a lot of soju--but as a light drinker, I didn't feel the effects, which made me think it might have been watered down. Other than that, it's always a fun experience with karaoke, and I really enjoy Korean food!

    Came here many years ago, still the same layout today. However, their food remains SOLID! Sooo good you guys!! We had a Karaoke room and it's $2 per song... it used to be $1 when I first came here. ( blame inflation am I right? lol ) No designated parking stalls but lots of street parking all around the block. Service was great. We came tonight, Monday evening at around 9pm. Our microphone was having a little problem but got fixed. Melona soju was yum! It matches very well with the dishes we ordered.

    We had a group of friends that went to Cafe Duck Butt's located in town. I've been here before but it was years ago. I forgot how it looked. First, the karaoke equipment is way out dated. The lyrics don't match the words. My $100 Amazon karaoke kit works way better and it's easy to use. Second, the rooms are old, small and dirty. Needs to be updated or maybe even put some decorations up. I understand it's a hole in the wall place but at least spend money to update EVERYTHING. Customers are spending a lot of money for rooms to rent out. Third, we booked our room from 8-11. The waitress came in 10 minutes prior and told us we needed to wrap it up because they had another party coming in at 11 on the dot. That's fine for us because we aren't cleaning anything but I would suggest they have breaks in between each party! Instead of doing back to back parties. We had so much food and drinks on the table. I'm pretty sure they didn't do a good cleaning. Because when we got in our room it felt dirty and smelled. Forth, DO NOT waste your money on the Soju. You will leave a diabetic or rotten teeth. It was all sugar and watered down! Not a fan! The worst thing about the drinks is the bar ran out of glass cups apparently. So we were given shot glasses. How the heck did a bar run out of glasses?! Can't say too much about the food, I wasn't a fan at all. I can say the waitresses and bartenders were great. There was one that had an attitude and didn't seem too happy but she was easily replaced by a great waitress. The rude waitress came in our room maybe 3 times in 3 hours. We had to keep going out to the bar area for drinks. Honestly, not sure we will ever be visiting again.

    Kimchi fried rice and Mochiko Chicken
    Annie N.

    Wow, what a fun discovery for soju & korean beer food. We ordered Kimchi fried rice, Mochiko Chicken, kimchi with tofu, and strawberry soju. We originally were in the area to check out another cocktail spot, but after finding out they were closed for a private event, a local told us about Cafe Duck Butt being a cool spot nearby to go to instead. We're really happy we ended up here. The food was great, soju was tasty and came in a large jug with shot glasses, and the music was loud. There was a good variety of soju flavors to choose from. There were a couple of private rooms for parties to have private karaoke in, and we were in the main dining room with the bar and main floor tables. We're happy we came and would recommend this place to anyone who's a fan of soju and Korean food.

    Parking is horrendous down here, be careful where you park because it'll be private property, blocked off , coned off etc and you'll get towed. There were only two or three staff members and all unfortunately they had bad attitudes except for the bar tender. There's a bathroom located in the back, music playing out loud and karaoke. I suggest going earlier if you wanna beat the crowds. It was difficult to have a conversation here because we couldn't hear each other without yelling. The soju is bomb! We got 3 to 4 different flavors and everything we ordered off the menu was killer tasty.

    Calamari - it was kind of tough
    Lynn O.

    I came here on a whim. My buddy suggested it. The parking was scarce. But there was one available in the back of the building. The walkway to get there is uneven and the concrete is breaking up. Watch your step. We were seated quickly. The server was friendly and attentive. I got a couple beers and the calamari. The calamari was a bit tough for my liking but we ate it anyway. When it was time to check out, I was given a pen that fell apart and leaked all over my hands. The waitress brought a wet napkin and assisted me with wiping my hands. Overall, the service was great. But I don't particularly like the parking situation and the food, even though I only tried one dish. I probably won't be back.

    "Spicy mochi" aka ddukkbokki
    Angel C.

    Ahhh i love coming here! It's one of my fav bars on Oahu. They are only open until midnight now because c out covid but i still had so much fun. The kimchi pancake was the best part of the night. It was chewy and crunchy and freaking bombbbb, it disappeared within 20 minutes haha The ddukbokki was super spicy, just How It should be! Our server was awesome she was so nice and attentive. The music was great and the vibes inside were overall fun, had an awesome time

    Kalbi Tacos (3)
    Ciara W.

    I love the food here! The Korean fried chicken is sooo good. I tried the garlic soy chicken and the flavor and texture was so yummy. The chicken was crunchy and moist all at the same time! Next time I am going to try the gochujang fried chicken. My mom makes this for me at home, so sometimes I am hesitant to try it at restaurants. But their garlic soy fried chicken was just so yummy so I am definitely going to try the gochujang next time! The Korean tacos were also out of this world. They were huge and super flavorful with the pork and kimchi with salad. How innovative to make Korean tacos! I had never had anything like this before back home on the mainland. I will order the Korean tacos again, for sure. This place also has karaoke rooms which is super cool. The service is also super cool and friendly. They can all help you pick something delicious on the menu to try if you have never been here before. I would definitely bring family and friends here for good times and good food.

    Only made for an older version of android? You cannot be serious. Why even use this system then?
    Ashlyn C.

    Let's start with the one good thing. The food. Thankfully, Duck Butt's food is still amazing. Literally the only thing worth going here for. 5 stars. Ambiance is still the same. It's a dive bar with karaoke. Their karaoke system has changed & definitely not for the better. We spent a few minutes trying to figure out how to select songs with no success. My boyfriend had to go out & ask one of the waitresses what to do. To which she replied as if we should've known, "There's a QR code outside..." Would've been nice if that was mentioned when we were being showed to the room. I scan the code & am unable to download the SongBook Master because, get this, the app Duck Butt uses isn't available because my android is too new. It is new (sort of). It's an S23 Ultra. But I have recently been to other karaoke establishments that also require you to use a QR code to access their karaoke system & my newer version of Android worked just fine. Anyway. The Service. If I could give negative stars, I would. I walk in & let them know we have a reservation. One of the girls asks my boyfriend & I if we'd like to sit at the bar while we wait for the rest of our party to come because the room is really cold. So we did. The bartender didn't seem to like that though because this girl had quite the attitude. If you don't want people sitting at the bar, why are you even working here? Mind you, Duck Butt was dead. 1 table seated & 1 other dude at the bar. And now my bf & I. That's it. Fast forward to our time in the karaoke room. We were in the room for about 5 hours & were constantly ordering food & drinks. To give you an idea of how much we were ordering, our bill was well over $400. 80% of the time, we had to go out & order our drinks. I counted 4 times that a waitress came in to actually check on us. Otherwise all they did was drop off the drinks that we had to go out to the bar & order. The last drink my boyfriend ordered, he had to go out & ask for 3 times because they were too busy tending to an emty bar. Idk if Duck Butt is going to close down soon so they don't give 2 shits, or if they just have the world's worst bartender/waitresses, but if it's the latter & they're not shutting down, they need to find people that actually care about working there. Don't accept people's reservations if you don't want them to come to your establishment. On top of the terrible service, they charged us 20% tip on the taxed total of our bill, not the subtotal. Let's be clear. It wasn't a suggested tip. They had already added it onto our bill. You're not supposed to charge people tip on taxes. I would honestly never come back here unless friends of mine insist they want to go to Duck Butt. Even then, I would try to convince them to go elsewhere. The service is that terrible.

    Mochiko chicken, kimchee jun, shrimp tempura, ginger soy chicken wings, & sweet potato tempura.
    Vanessa Z.

    I haven't been here in over 8 years! I brought my bf to try it out for the 1st time. We looked up menu on Google and their pupu menu was $5 per item. It said their happy hour was till 8pm. When we got here there was no $5 pupu happy hour, so that was disappointing. I guess the menu on google was outdated. BUT the food was yummy!!! We had the kimchee jun, mochiko chicken, shrimp tempura, sweet potato tempura, & soy garlic chicken wings. It was not very packed, food cane out fast and service was good!

So many of the Korean restaurants in Honolulu have servers who are actually mean to the customers and we now refuse to give them our dining dollars. The more modern Korean restaurants are providing much better customer experiences so that a customer becomes a life-long customer who spreads the word to family and friends and who keeps coming back for life. Does anyone remember the "Angry Korean Auntie" who used to run her restaurant like Seinfeld's "Soup Nazi'? That is the kind of service that we try to avoid now regardless of food quality.

But when we got out of the restaurant, there was a car parked in the accessible aisle next to our car. The attendant smiled at us as we approached it car. I know it wasn't the car owners fault, the attendant likely motioned to have them park there. Everytime we try to go, the lot is usually full and I notice there's always a car parked in the accessibility aisle. And yes , I reported it to the DOJ. police likely wouldn't respond so it's not worth calling them. FOOD- The banchan is always delicious and plentiful.

It was unfortunately not indicated on the menu. The meat quality was good, and some of the banchans were great (kimchi and potato salad). I also liked their corn cheese as it helped balance the flavor of the meats. However, for the price of $77 per person, I am not certain if the experience was worth the price tag. Maybe next time I'll try their Lunch Specials as it may have better value for money.
