Well, the food was really good and the drinks were flowing all around us. It was lively, but not rowdy. The garlic fries were crispy and very garlicky. The mandoo was fried and nice and crunchy, but not oily. Poke nachos were fresh and even the leftovers I ate the next morning were still crunchy. Cheese bread was excellent with the marinara sauce that came with the mozzarella sticks, which I was told were good, but I didn't get a chance to eat any! We definitely be will be back.

The bar can provide darts for you to play with, but we bring our own. The waitresses are always so attentive and helpful. They stop by multiple times to ask if you need anything. Keeping an open tab with them is probably the easiest way to go for both parties. We decided to try the Korean Fried Chicken since it was on a special for that day. And boy was it good! The flavor was great, it was cooked just right, everything about it made me want to come back and order it again. Which I probably will! There is ample parking for this bar in the parking structure above it and across the street in the old Sears parking lot at pearl ridge mall. This place can get a bit busy on weekend nights, but a very chill vibe/spot to go to after a work day if you want to have a beer with some friends or coworkers.

I did notice that they have really scaled back on their available food menu and I was kind of disappointed. They are down to just the basics but it's better than no food menu I suppose. It's a good venue for fundraisers, live entertainment or just a night out. Service was pretty quick and I learned that if you're doing a fundraiser they close the kitchen and you can bring your own food in. I think that's amazing and so helpful for anyone just looking for a party venue.

Located inside of a Bowling Alley, Aiea Bowl also has a restaurant that was featured on Diners, Dine ins, and Drives. I'm hesitant with any recommendation from DDD because the others I've tried haven't been great BUT Aiea Bowl's food did not disappoint. I went with combo that came with their fried chicken and loco moco. While the burger patty could've used more seasoning, the portion size was massive and the gravy was hella good. The fried chicken though, easily the star of the show. So damn good. My partner got the oxtail soup, which was alright. To end the meal we got one of their crunch cake, and I wasn't even hungry but we crushed this. Safe to say we enjoyed it. The service here was great. I think the prices match the portions here. It's definitely a place I would never leave hungry lol. Would I eat here again? Definitely!

This review is a bit tardy, but I am finally coming around to giving some well-deserved praise…read more We found this place through Yelp when we were scouting a dance instructor for our wedding first dance. I have to hand it to my fellow Yelpers for the stellar recommendation; Ed was great. He is clearly passionate about what he does, and he and his wife Juliet are very accommodating. We have very busy schedules, and they rescheduled our sessions multiple times and met us in the evenings after work and even on weekends. We would be exhausted and many times did not even feel like going to dance lessons, but then we would end up having so much fun. Afterwards, we were always glad that we went. At times, it was very stress-relieving and even calming to go in. This is largely due to the fact that Ed and Juliet are such nice people, and they make dancing fun. Just to provide some context, we attended private dance lessons about once a week for a couple of months before our wedding. We had no real prior dancing experience. I usually feel really uncomfortable dancing. But Ed was very patient and went through basic dance steps just to get us more used to things. After we finally picked a first dance song, he practiced everything from the entrance through to the end of the dance. He tailored the moves to us and our song. There were many times that we just changed things so that they just felt more comfortable. We did not get a one-size-fits-all type of dance. That makes it all the more special. Just so you know Ed used to be a dance instructor for, I think, Arthur Murray before he had his own studio, so in going with Ed, you get Arthur Murray instruction but for a much more reasonable price. Due to an injury, he cannot dance as much as he would like to, but he often times would still show us how to do certain dance moves by bringing in Juliet to our dance session. I think Ed is due for a surgery, so he will be up and running again. However, the bottom line is that the best instructor is one who can teach people who do not know how to dance how to dance. And Ed is very good at that.

Fair warning though--the greens are no joke and definitely not the most forgiving for a casual golfer like myself . They'll test your patience real quick. What made it even better was getting out there with friends again, enjoying the game and the great atmosphere. And having food and drinks delivered right to you on the course? That's a game changer. Definitely worth the wait, and I'm looking forward to many more rounds here.

We were promptly greeted and taken to our assigned table at 6pm. We were able to purchase a cocktail prior to the start of the dinner and my margarita was really good. Dinner started and the appetizers and wine pairings were really good. The Lomi Lomi Salmon and the Fresh Ahi Poke were some of my favorite dishes of the night. All the drink pairings provided tasted great. By the time the main entrees began to come out they were a little cold but still tasted great. That night we were able to exclusively purchased the wines and vodka that was provided for future pick up. We have not heard back on a pick up date and no response received via email after 2 business days after receiving prior email communication in a timely manner leading up to the event. All in all I would like to go back to check out the restaurant on its own.

Event space in Halawa, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. The lower parking lot of the Aloha Stadium is not just a place to park your car... In the past, this parking lot was transformed into a magical drive-through holiday light display around Christmas time. It was called "Show Aloha Land". Profits went to local charities! As the years went by, the light show grew into a spectacular event and added things like a zip line and other attractions! In other years, this parking lot was the home of the State Farm Fair. The asphalt was a bit warm for the livestock, so the annual fair was moved to Kualoa Ranch, then to Whitmore Village. This parking lot was also the home of the 50th State Fair. There were many food vendors, rides, and games for children of all ages! Sadly, the 50th State Fair didn't happen in 2025 because Aloha Stadium is scheduled to be demolished in August of 2025. We have been using this parking lot when we go shopping at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meets. Currently, this swap meet is still happening Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Hurry up and go before August!

I am so happy that I hired Jason/ Ono Kine Entertainment for my daughters graduation party at Aulani.

Jason coordinated and provided the DJ, Photobooth and Uplight Services. He and his team did a fantastic job. The uplights paired so well with our wall drapery and elevated the space. My husband and I along with our guests had a blast with the photobooth. Also, one of the highlights of the evening was when Jason played our requested Filipino songs- Awitin Mo at Isasayak Ko- and the crowd went nuts haha. Core memory for sure! Justin provided the emcee services and did a fantastic job with engaging our guests. Justin was also meticulous and took the time to get to know me and my husbands details like how we met, our favourite color and more to ensure a seamless program! If you are on the fence about getting this duo and their team, I hope this review would help in making your choice! They are professional, has timely and great communication, and most importantly they are fun and that translates to the crowd! Mahalo Jason, Justin and the Ono Kine Entertainment crew for making our wedding celebration so special for us and our families.
