Outstanding! Right off the plane we find this gem hidden next to the movies. Duck fat fried rice got me in the door and the shrimp made me eat till it hurt. Great service staff and the food was delivered quick. Loved the sports bar look while we watched the NFL games. Overall a great find and we'd definitely come back! read more

Good little spot in Kapolei. I try to come at off times to avoid the crowd. Food never disappoints. This time we came at happy hour and got the lechon and poke nachos. Both were outstanding. Mom whacked the lechon quick! Nachos were also tasty. Pork seemed to change from the last time i was here, kinda bready this time. Kal bi was really good as always. Every time I am back in Hawaii, I try and make it a habit to stop by here at least once . Service is outstanding as well read more

The food is exceptional here. I had the beef bone soup and the duck fat fried rice. It was deliah - kinda home cooking. The service was good - friendly and accommodating. The Ambiance is comfy. Been to a birthday party here too. All their dishes were delicious. Oh not to forget the fried whole fish was delicious too. read more

This was our first time eating at DB Grill, we found them by scrolling on my yelp app. The food was amazing 5 star. We had the duck fat fried rice with an egg, fried chicken wings, bao-bun with pork belly and man-doo. Everything was delicious. We ordered basically from the pupu and appetizer menu, but just an note its a little pricey our bill was $69.00 but the waitress did encourage us to come next time during happy hour which starts from 3-6 pm Also all our items were suggested by our waitress who was very friendly and on point with her recommendations. We will definitely be back with our f&f. Ty DB. read more

Stopped in today for the first time only ordered some appetizers, mushrooms and bok choy. I enjoyed both and will be trying the Mahi sandwich next time. Server had a glass of tea on my table as I was finishing the first one, very attentive and friendly. I don't know how I've been around as long as I have and never seen this place lol. read more

Food is excellent, service also excellent. Went for lunch and had all pupu meal for two with plenty of variety at a reasonable price.

It's been a few years since I've been to DB grill. And although I had a nice experience the first time, I especially enjoyed this recent visit. Since then, the menu has changed and for the better. I'm an appetizer kinda person. I like my fried foods, small and quick bites. And luckily, my sister is also prefers appetizers as well. As we were walking from the parking lot to the restaurant, I told my sister not to overdo it on the apps. But then my eyes were too impressed with the options that I need up ordering Nanban Nuggets, Smoked Fish Dip, Bulgogi Steak Tacos, Boom Shrooms and Melona Soju I did pretty good right? A poultry, fish, beef, veggie and fruit! Everything was delicious. I wish we had more people with us because O really want to try the other soju flavors and I hardly drink liquor because I'm usually the DD. But when our sweet and helpful server, Isaiah said, "it really taste like Melona!" I through my car keys into my sister purse. It's kinda got a sports bar feel with the two large screen TVs playing ESPN and with the apps. I have family coming visiting in a few days. I plan on bringing them here for game night so we can try almost everything. 5-stars for this experience! read more

A great place to dine and have some drinks at whenever you're in the Kapolei area. It is located in Kapolei Commons so parking is easy to find. Service is friendly and the interior gives a bar feel with music in the background and sports playing on the TVs. My friends and I shared the kimchi fries (I love waffle fries and the sauce drizzled over them had the perfect kick!), boom shrooms, garlic soy wings, kimchi fried rice, and bossam. Everything was delicious, but the bossam (pork belly wrap) was too dry for me... I prefer the pork steamed over it being fried. Overall, a good experience and will be back! read more

PRIVATE PARTY Review This review is for my experience with booking a private event on the Mezzanine. All communication was done by email. Everything went smoothly from my questions being answered about the venue and food. Even up to the day of the event, the restaurant was very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed themselves and complimented on how good the food was. Glad it turned out to be a success. For reference there is a capacity of 40 people allowed on the Mezzanine. You can prepay for food in advance or during the event, or both. Contact the restaurant to learn more about booking your next event here. read more

Tried out this place because we wanted to eat casually and have something islandly, but not a plate lunch (saving that for later). This place totally hit the spot! The casual atmosphere, friendly service and bar vibe made us all feel really comfortable. There were three of us and we shared five dishes. Plenty of food for the three of us. Our favorites were the kimchi pancake and crispy mandu, but all were delicious. Side note: the navi directions sends you to the wrong place in the shopping center. It's next to the movie theater, not the Target. read more

Interesting place here. It tries to mimic the bar/lounges in town while still allowing for a suburban and family inclusive feel. Ambiance is fine, but on the early dinner evening we were here for, the music was just insanely loud. Like had to shout at my family just to get them to hear me. Now, I get it when it's something past 8 or 9, when it really becomes more a bar setting. But it was like 6ish still. Food was pretty good though - the highlights on our table were the pork chops and the local fried rice. Pork chop was perfectly seasoned and cooked, but I don't think anyone will be able to dethrone the king of pork chops - Sidestreet. I like the fried rice, but kinda wish they had gave more of it. All in all, decent place to gather some friends for beers and pupus. I do feel like the inside could be rearranged more thoughtfully to make it feel more intimate. The high ceilings made it feel too open believe it or not. Still, I would recommend this place. read more

DB Grill was excellent. We had six people in our party who were super hungry after hiking all day, and DB Grill filled the void. We had the following: 1. Wings (12 piece) 2. Local Style Fried Rice 3. Lechon 4. Steak Tacos 5. Kalua Pork Tacos 6. Several Beers All of the above-listed items were unique, and the taste was fantastic. The entree that stole the show was the Lechon. This was the best version we have ever had. Regarding the service, it was great. The ambiance was good except the TVs were up super loud. It was a little distracting. A cool thing about the interior is their bar and art on the wall. It is a sight to see. read more

My family and I have eaten here several times. It is usually one of our favorites. However, during our latest visit about a week ago, the air conditioning was either broken or just off (maybe there weren't enough people inside to necessitate the ac). Thermostat displayed 89 degrees. Outdoors was 90-92 degrees. Doors probably had to be closed to prevent flies from coming in. It was a HOT box. It was hard to enjoy the experience given the heat. Food nonetheless was good. Felt bad for the staff. They were doing their best. read more

Food and service were very good, but the dining room was incredibly loud. The acoustics are terrible. We asked to sit outside but they wouldn't let us. We were seated next to a large table of drunk men who didn't have inside voices and we couldn't hear our own conversation over them. I'll return, but only if we're permitted to sit outside. read more

Fun little spot with wonderful island service. Mixed crowd of families and bar patrons watching football and overall chill. The DB chicken, which was a Cornish hen, was tasty and well prepared. The duck fat rice was flavorful, but al dente and couldn't taste any duck. Would rate the rice as alright. Hubby's old fashioned was well made. read more

I really do love this restaurant especially during happy hour but we got take out this time and did the family lunch pack. By the time I got home and saw what it looked like, I was incredibly surprised. The kalbi pieces were extremely small and I thought we'd get actual sized kalbi not pieces with two tiny bites on them. This is not something I would feel comfortable sharing at a party. I have ordered their duck fat fried rice in a tray and that was fine. Quite disappointed in the meat. Eating in allows for good portions, nice staff, and a chill atmosphere but the take out kalbi meat is quite a different experience. read more

Came here to meet with my family for dinner, their suggestion, after checking in to the hotel. It's conveniently located near the Ko Olina resorts area where I was staying and didn't want to venture too far for good comfort food after a long flight. We were seated immediately and got there before it got busy. The two servers working that night were friendly and attentive, super chill and casual vibes all around. We ordered the boom shrooms, garlic soy chicken wings, duck fat fried rice, DB chicken, and crispy garlic shrimp. Everything was delicious and the portions were great for sharing. We also ordered the li hing gummie bear soju carafe. It went down so easily like juice and sometimes you need some alcohol with fried comfort food! Definitely coming back on my next visit and recommending this restaurant to anyone looking for comfort food after a long day exploring the island or a long flight away from the tourist-filled places. read more

Ordered takeout for my husband's birthday. He really wanted steak. KFC and Garlic Soy Wings - good Shrimp - good Snowflake Mandoo - good, but would've been better is the sauce lid didn't pop off and spill. Steak Tacos - good Duck Fat Fried Rice - good Kim Chee Ribeye Steak - disappointing because it cost the most ($51) and we only got to eat 3/4 of it. Three pieces were full of fat. read more

Food A+ Service A+ Ambiance A Second time here and was not disappointed. The Lunch Bowls are a great value! Great portions and excellent presentation. Garlic Shrimp Bowl with Duck Fat Fried Rice $13 + $2 upcharge. 5 Jumbo Shrimp glazed in a sweet and spicy garlic crust. Lechon Bowl with Duck Fat Fried Rice $12 + $2 upcharge. Extremely flavorful Lechon tossed with shoyu vinegar and tomatoes and onions. Crispy Mandoo-$14. These guys do it right. Tasty and with that added crispy skirt, brings this appetizer dish to another level. Definitely will be back to try their other offerings. read more

Really good food and friendly service. Was able to call and get a table for a party of 7 during a Monday evening.

I love the good food and the music here. For people in my age group, this is the music we grew up with. I sure was enjoying it. My fav here was the duck fat fried rice. I can't get enough. Garlic wing were also delish!! This place does get pretty crowded. The last time we came here all the tables were taken so we sat at the bar. It was all good. I love it here and I definitely will come back here with friends when I'm back in town. read more

I'm never fond of Korean food, mainly because in most restaurants the spiciness can be over powering or none at all. But this place has just the right about of spiciness to all their dishes! Coming from town, the drive is quite far but it's worth all the drive and the traffic. The ambiance is comforting and the service here is amazing! Food - Our group got most of the pupus and it's hard to pick which is my favorite. From the Calamari to the Steak bulgogi tacos, it was just amazing. The mondo had also the right crisp to every bite. And their Kimi waffle fries are so delicious! Many of the dishes come in large portions so be extra weary when ordering! We had to take quite a few take out boxes! And last but not least, their soju was definitely worth a try - my personal favorites were the lihing, and white gummy! Overall, 10/10 and would definitely drive and suffer through traffic to eat here again. read more

Smoked Fish Dip: Lightweight dip with a deep fish taste and slight smokiness from kiawe. Eat this appetizer first. Otherwise, breathe will smell fishy if consumed last. Kanpachi Kama: My fave! M trio for moist, melt in your mouth, mixed mayo. Reminds us of eating butterfish. This could be my meal x3. Waffle Fries: Perfectly cooked and seasoned fries. Not listed on HH or regular menu. Kindly request from your Server. Great deal. Took remaining fries home. Tasted yummy and crispy after reheating in air fryer. Local Style Fried Rice: Very tasty and perfect in every way. Not dense. Not clumpy. Diced spam, carrots, peas, eggs, green onions, black pepper. 100% approved by hubby and I. Duck Fat Fried Rice w/ local egg: I didn't consume any this time. I was so tempted to have a spoonful. Instead, I let my mom enjoy this entire dish. Nanban Nuggets Crispy Chicken, Kimchi Tartar Sauce: Mild, crispy skin on outside, moist and tender chicken on inside. Love the crunch from shredded cabbage and acidity from pickled onions. All around appetizer is perfect alone, with sides or with beverages. Cheese-Corn Pancake: Mild tasting and yummy! My mom and I still enjoyed this appetizer on its own and with dipping sauce although a portion was burnt or pāpaa. Fantastic customer service during our entire time from our Server and MOD. All I'm missing is soju. I'll definitely return. read more

I've seen this place at where we live in kapolei. My boss said it was good. So I told my wife let's g ood n try it. Something different from what we always eat. Just say we got there at the right time. The place wasn't pack n lots of seating. At times this place is packed n people waiting. We went there for lunch. As I went in I always look around n scope it out. The place was clean n roomy with space. TVs all on the walls around you. The girl greeted us very politely. As we walked to our sits, I could smell the aroma from the foods they served already. Went over the menu n it all look good. We asked the waitress what fried rice was better, she said the duck fat is the popular one. So we took her word on it. We order the duck fat fried rice,fried calamari, KFC chicken n fried mando. KFC ain't no Kentucky fried stuffs. It's Korean fried chicken n it was unreal. The most crunches soak chicken I ever had. Wasn't soggy at all. N the mandoo was a trip to see when it came out. All stuck together with a crunchy breading around the whole stuffs. Looked like a pinwheel. The fried rice was awesome n glad we chose it. Calamari was crunchy as well. The food is great to me there. For the drinks I had their db draft n was good n my wife had the pb whiskey that tasted like candy. The girls who worked there all had different color high lites hair n gotta say they look awesome with it. Great food n great customer service and very polite and friendly. Over all it was great n awesome. We coming back again for sure read more

I like their chicken wings and their ambience. They play old school hiphop. Soju is really good too. we ordered a lot

Finally got a chance to try this place. I didn't expect the setup to be what it is. Nothing bad to say, just caught me by surprise. Thought it was just a Steakhouse. It's actually more of a modern bar setup that serves family style dishes. Everything's Ala carte. Staff was at a younger age, very attentive, and knew the menu well. They gave us recommendations, and we took their advice. We had Kalbi, Duck Fat Fried Rice, Ribeye Steak, Chicken Wings, and Pork Bao Buns. To sum it up, everything was right on spot. Every item was good, Ribeye was soft and tender seasoned perfectly, Pork Bao Buns were soft and the pork had the right texture very flavorful. But my favorite was the Kalbi. It was so juicy and tasty. I cant wait to go back and try other items. Had a great experience there. read more

My husband and his coworkers always eat here since it's really close by their workplace and he brought me home the mushroom bao buns and the boom shrooms and I fell in love with them!! So yesterday, we finally got to go! We went around 7pm and we waited about 5 minutes for our table. The staff was really nice, and recommended us some drinks. For the drinks we ordered: * Taro Soju -- honestly tastes like taro milk tea with soju! I really liked this! It's addicting! * Guava Nectar -- my drink order! this was so delicious! it just tastes like juice! * Sugar Rush -- my husband's drink, he said he liked it but I personally didn't, it tasted like cough medicine to me. For the food we ordered: * Kimchi fries -- oh my gosh I could eat the whole entire serving by myself! The fries were so crispy and the sauce in the middle was just perfection! 10/10! We had to order an extra one as it was that delicious! * Boom Shrooms -- it's a little spicy but also addicting! This is a must try! * Mushroom Bao Buns -- I wish the mushrooms were like the mushrooms from the boom shrooms. But it was still good. There's not a lot of different texture, the bao bun and mushrooms were soft. * 12 Pieces Wings K.F.C -- another favourite! The chicken pieces were just the right size! This was flavour packed! It was sweet, spicy and the chicken was very crispy! Definitely will be back! This time, we'll try to go for the happy hour! read more

Our first meal after landing on Hawaii! Nice ambiance, efficient and friendly service. Food bowls are a great deal! The garlic shrimp bowl was fantastic - crunchy, savory & sweet - went great with the rice. The ginger pork wasn't as good, but very acceptable for the price. The burger was very tasty - not sure what cheese it was but definitely elevated the burger. A great lunch spot if in the area. read more

Wife an I went had sometime to kill while waiting for our son to finish his friends party. It was getting late and my wife and I were getting hungry. Decided to check out DB Grill since we were in the Kapolei area. They are located in the Kapolei Shopping center next to the Movie Theater with tons of parking. It seemed like a very "trendy" and "chill" place to go after a movie and want to eat and grab a drink. They have sports events screens on every wall of a very nice high ceiling lounge. They even have a second floor for private parties. Their menu looked good, we anted to try everything but we are small eaters. I guess they are known for their "Soju mixes" as everyone there seemed to have a Carafe in front of them. My wife and I opted out of Alcohol just as we would have a long drive home through DUI checkpoints. We decided just to fill our bellies. We ordered the Duck Fat Fried Rice with egg, Boom Shroom, Sizzling Kalbi and my favorite, sizzling "Sisig" with jalapeños. Sisig is a Filipino dish with savory flavors usually made from some parts from the pigs head, ears and belly. It sounds gross but trust me, it's delicious. I didn't get my servers name but he was awesome. Not sure if he was the manager but he was on point with all the tables around us and other employees seemed to go to home for questions. Always checking if anyone needed anything. Even the girl serving water made sure no glass was empty. They must be the "in spot" as even the bartender knew customers by name. Even the guy at the door was good. I just met him but could joke with him like we were friends for years. Awesome place that we will definitely revisit when back in the area or not driving. I really want to try some of their Soju. read more

Been a few times, this time with friends. The seating is a bit funky - 50/50 chance you get barstools, which suck for women with purses because there's nowhere to hang your purse and you have to sit it on the disgusting floor. They really need to figure that out... Purse hooks under the tables, please! Otherwise, the drinks are yummy, but very small. I think they could put them in bigger glasses for the amount they charge. The food is interesting. It's not really one cohesive genre of food... But a lot of strange things that don't necessarily go together. It's hard to find an actual meal because they serve things appetizer style and the menu descriptions don't really prepare you for what you're going to get. I ordered Pork belly with an easy egg on top, and it was basically a bowl of bacon. It was delicious, but not at all what I was expecting. It could've been served over rice or mashed potatoes and been a meal but it wasn't. I would order it again as an appetizer, but not as a meal. Same with the fried rice, that I love there... It's great to share with people as part of a larger meal, but it's hard to find something just for me to eat by myself when I'm with friends and we're not eating family style. read more
