Dinner with the group…read more.. Getting all six of us together can be quite the challenge though at times selecting the location puts the stress for many reasons but luckily Paul C has been here and was recommended so here we are. Funny enough I've passed here countless times and had forgotten it's even located on the ground floor of Imperial Plaza which does have parking making it easy for us to gather. What was easier is that he knew the recommended items to order... - Pan fried dumplings...such a sucker for dumplins - Fried Oysters (I'm sorry I chickened out on them) - Steamed dumplings...so good I took three pics of them lol! - Jajangmyeon...noodle nut lover but was okay for me - Shrimp that looked spicy (allergic) that everyone loved ;) - Beef Bittermelon...not bad for a person that don't eat bitter melon - Salt & Pepper Chicken wings...winner winner it was SO yummy! - Sweet & Sour Fish All very different in it's own way but was very good the only down side for me personally is they don't have their own bathroom and you need to walk quite the distance right off the parking garage provided by the building which was a big thing for me personally but the staff is very nice and I enjoyed myself as sharing with friends made it much more fun. Thank you!

Our group of six enjoyed a delicious dinner with a little of something for everyone…read more Fried chicken wings were my favorite. Crisp thin coating on the outside, nicely seasoned with tender juicy chicken meat, and not all bones. The fried oysters were also pretty good. Most everyone enjoyed the spicy fried shrimp. Again, coated and seasoned, the shrimp had a nice kick of chili. Having the combination of steamed and fried potstickers was also a great idea to share. The beef with bittermelon was great. Perfectly cooked, the beef was tender and the bittermelon wasn't soggy. This dish had wonderful flavor, in my humble opinion. The sweet sour fried fish was yummy too. Excellent texture, this fish wasn't over nor undercooked :) And dinner is not complete without noodles. We enjoyed the jajangmyeon, which they also served with pickled veggie side dish. Our server Elise was fantastic! From beginning to end of our meal, she took really good care of us. Attentive and polite, she was quick to refill water and hot tea without us having to ask. Love, love, loved my experience dining here with friends. Very reasonable prices, lots of parking available, tables and chairs were clean, food was delicious, and service was fantastic! Wish I knew about them sooner and so glad they have been around for a while. Will certainly return!!

They have some of the best cake noodle Ive had on island, the oyster sauce chicken skin was crispy and their dumplings were to die for! Will definetly order from them again. Everything tasted fresh and delicious!

Authentic Chinese restaurant run by Cantonese-speaking folks. Service was quick. Prices were not…read moreparticularly cheap though. I think the cheapest category cost $5.50 which given the dated and not-so-clean atmosphere I would rather go somewhere else. The quality was subpar compared to other also authentic dim sum places. Went there for dinner takeout long time ago, nothing memorable, and recently for dim sum. I got the tofu skin wrap roll, chicken feet and chives dumplings. Chicken feet was decent. Tofu skin wrap roll had a kinda weird aftertaste. The steamed dumplings skin was terrible. You could see in the picture that it wasn't translucent. I think I've had better dim sum from the frozen section at Hmart. It seems busy at times coz apparently some tour group come here. I hope every business stays in business and they continue to get business from tourists, but not from me unfortunately.

Also I asked for extra coriander leaves and they gave it to me no charge. Good food, great service, five stars! Just park in the structure and it's free off Beretania St.

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've always wanted to visit Pho Tri Vietnamese Restaurant because they used to have a buy one, get one half off pho special on Saturdays. Unfortunately, that special has been discontinued. Our server said that the new owner probably discontinued that special... maybe ten years ago... LOL! This place has been around for quite awhile! Bonus: For free parking, enter the parking structure from Beretania Street, before the building, and go up to the second floor for "commercial parking". We couldn't find the door to the restaurant from the parking structure (it's hidden behind a pole), so we ended up on Beretania Street and walked around the block to the entrance on Kalakaua Avenue. There's a door in the restaurant's hallway that leads to a stairway to the parking structure. The interior is very spacious. There are actually two rooms - maybe the back room can hold a private party! Service was pleasant and helpful! I ordered my favorite: vermicelli with spring roll and grilled pork. It was ok... not the best, but not bad. I'm happy to finally have dined here!

I come here often for their banh mi's and spring rolls. I love their house made chili oil, it goes…read moregreat on everything. The owners are really nice people. It's rarely empty but never crowded. I've tried all their banh mi's and don't necessarily have a favorite, it's whatever I'm in the mood for at the time. Their bread has a nice crunchy exterior with a soft interior. If you're in the area give them a try!

Takeout lunch from Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Niu Baguette BBQ & Noodle has been around for a while. One of the main reasons for my not visiting sooner was the parking situation. I really don't want to pay extra for metered street parking and this establishment is closed on Sundays when metered street parking is free. I drove past one day and noticed an available metered parking stall on the street. I thought that i could be quick, so I briskly walked to the shop. Inside, it's kind of dated and the air-conditioning wasn't on high, so I was okay with Takeout. The two employees at the front were conversing. I'm not sure if one was being trained, but hey... a customer is waiting to order... Finally, there was a break in the conversation and I had a chance to order a Tofu Banh Mi. I asked if there was a credit card fee... i paid cash to avoid a higher price. Eventually, I took my bahn mi home and had to cut it in half. Hmmm... ok... The taste was alright. The bread was soft. I don't know if the outer crust had a crunch on it or not because there was a delay in consuming it. This might be a one and done...

This has been around forever but still one of our go-to spots for family gatherings because the…read morefood is very good, reasonably priced, BYOB, the service is so friendly, and they have a HUGE vegetarian menu! Everyone's favorite was the house special fried rice with egg (from the vegetarian menu)! Even the meat eaters at the table loved it! We were all surprised at just how good it was: umami, clearly had that smoky flavor from being cooked on a wok with a big fire. So good we even ordered a 2nd order of the same rice! Highly recommend trying it! My other favorite is always their steamed fish fillet, so soft, melts in your mouth, buttery, flaky, and the sauce always goes SO good on rice. Highly recommend! We all also loved the sweet and sour spare rib from the vegetarian menu, tastes just like sweet and sour pork! A little tangy, got a good chew to it, glazed perfectly, goes so good with the fried rice! The cold ginger scallion chicken was just a half chicken per order but was a HUGE portion which we loved! Very generous with the ginger scallion topping, which is a must for this dish. The chicken itself was fine, maybe a little dry, but not bad. The string beans with tofu chuck from the vegetarian menu was also great, freshly made, cooked to perfection, flavorful! The beef brisket and tendon with bean curd was good as well, good portion size, lots of sauce but also lots of meat and tendon, goes great on rice. The only thing we didn't care for was the clams in black bean sauce. The sauce when it gets cold kind of tastes like muck, and the flavor was just a bit too like if you just poured a jar of ready made black bean sauce on clams. Maybe they should think about serving this one on a sizzling plate or over a flame to keep it hot at the table? For 6 people on a Sunday night, it came out to around $200 before tax and tip, and that's with having to take some leftovers home to eat the next day! Very easy to call and make reservations, but they were empty on a Sunday night :( They tend to fill up more around the holidays, but hoping more people will help keep their business open! Food is good! Place is a little old on the inside, but clean enough. The spinning dolly in the middle of the table didn't spin very well, but again this restaurant has been around for a long time. They have lots of free parking right next to the restaurant, which can get full easily when the restaurant next door (Tane Vegan Izakaya) gets a lot of business. But otherwise ample free street parking across the road in the neighborhood! Will definitely be coming again! We had a great time!

Pho is my go-to on a rainy day so since it's always raining in this island, I feel like I'm here…read moreall the time!! Luckily, da best pho is open 7 days a week so I'm able to get my pho fix in when I'm in Oahu. I've tried a few other pho restaurants on island and their broth is not as flavorful or authentic as this place. Diana is always working and is so friendly and efficient and fast. This lady runs the restaurant and serves everyone on her own with a smile on her face. Plenty of photos on the menu but I normally get the pho dac biet with fried egg rolls. Those two items hit the spot. I like that they use the skinny noodles in their pho. Good flavor in the broth, comes out fast and piping hot. The medium bowl is my go-to which gives me enough room to share the egg rolls with the bf. I always leave satisfied and full. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend for your Vietnamese food cravings.

Having "Da Best Pho" in the restaurant name means you have to live up to it. I was kinda excited to…read moresee how they were going to be different from the other establishments! Parking is free, but can be busy at times so you'll have to park at Foodland or behind the establishment. Huge menu, lots of items to choose from. Pho = pretty standard. It wasn't blowing my mind or anything. Vermicelli = Noodles were ok. They put a lot of veggies that it's more so like a salad than anything. Spring Rolls = basic, fine. Nothing really stood out to me too much. The food was functional as I was hungry. The restaurant was empty and the service was as minimal as it could be. The food was dropped off and then we paid. No water refills, just kind of left to eat. The server was on the phone the entire time and didn't seem to care about us very much. I came to try the food but I can't justify coming back based on the food and service. I wish it were different as I really don't like writing reviews like this but I always want to be honest so that you guys can get the best experience.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. It is owned and operated by a very personable Japanese couple. It…read moreis located behind Grace's Drive Inn and shares the same parking lot as Times Supermarket on Beretania. The exterior and name of the restaurant are a bit misleading. The interior is tastefully done and reminds me of being in Japan. The omakase is well worth the price, as each dish is beautifully prepared and presented. All seafoods were exquisite and fresh. It is BYOB so you can easily stop at Times Supermarket to pick up beer, wine, or soju. I have eaten omakase in Japan and Korea, and this compares favorably with the restaurants I have been to in Seoul, Osaka, and Tokyo.

This is one of my favorite sushi places in Hawaii. I need to preface it by saying I have a…read moredifficult time spending more than $150 for omakase so if you're used to spending way more than that, I'm not sure what those sushi places are like so not sure how this would compare. Sushi You has changed owners but I truly think the quality and atmosphere has stayed the same. The new chef and his wife are very friendly and the food is still AMAZING. The fish is fresh, the nigiri is creative yet classic, and the other dishes that make up the omakase is first class. When we come back to dine in I'll write another review but I did want to write one for their take out options. Very few omakase places offer take out, but Sushi You does! Their menu is pretty extensive and you absolutely cannot beat the price for the quality of their food. We ordered: Sushi Premium (10 pcs nigiri, egg, 1 roll) $35 Chirashi premium $30 Salmon Ikura Don $27 Everything was soooo good and very affordable for high quality sushi! Please go and support this small restaurant. There seem to be so many good restaurants closing and I would hate to see another good place close because not enough people knew about it.
