    Located in Manoa slightly across from the Morning Glass and Bangkok Chef strip of stores, Feast sits in a squat building on the corner of the block. With the bushes, red awnings, and vines creeping up the walls, the building looks quaint and cute. Inside has the same open air and quaint feeling to it. I do not believe there is a parking lot but there is street parking around. We have done takeout a few times from here, and the service is pretty good. They have been timely and professional. We got the loco moco, chicken shawarma wrap, and catch of the day, which seemed to be ahi. We have previously tried the lobster roll, which was OK. We have heard a lot of good things about the lobster roll but I thought it was alright and maybe a bit too rich. Not the worst thing to be. We got the mini from the Magic Menu, which seems like a good idea for trying smaller bites at a cheaper price. The loco moco was pretty good, as was the catch of the day and the wrap. It is all alright, the prices are a bit high for us though.

    Lobster Roll $21

    Still great delicious food. Went for lunch and we had the salmon salad done different styles I had the salmon, watercress, tofu salad $17. It was a huge salad! Totally filled the take out box. Came with a large piece of moist flavorful salmon, grilled just right on top of tofu cubes and huge amount of greens. I had the shoyu based dressing on the side and also the ginger green onion sauce for the salmon. Filled me up. My friend had the soba with the salmon $19. She agreed the salmon was done perfectly. We also sampled the petite lobster roll $11 that was on Magic menu special. The lobster meat was pretty chunky. Solid lunch- the items on the Magic menu looked pretty good and reasonable in price. In a cold case were lemonades-mango, hibiscus and strawberry $6. Good place to grab lunch

    I love lobster rolls and heard Feast had one of the best, if not the best, in town. I came here for lunch and can honestly say this one is the best! The taste of the lobster is what sets it apart from the others. It costs $30 but it's worth it given the amount of lobster you get. I've had cheaper ones but they were also smaller and not as tasty. There are other items on their menu so I'd like to come back to try them. The food must be good since a restaurant without parking wouldn't survive otherwise. There is however, parking in the neighborhood.. Atmosphere in and around Feast is very casual, relaxing, and enjoyable. Service here is also good!

    My go-to spot for a lobster roll in town has to be Feast. The lobster roll is always fresh, buttery and full of flavor truly the best I've had here. The service is consistently fast, kind and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. What I love most is enjoying my meal while taking in the gorgeous mountain views of Mānoa Valley it feels like such a peaceful little escape. If you're craving something special, I can't recommend Feast enough. Supporting them feels good because they pour so much love into what they do :))

    Nice looking nicoise salad - salmon

    I'm not sure if it's because they may be busy with new year's orders or what, but I was disappointed with lunch today. Still gave 3 stars because of previous good experiences so I'm hoping this was just an odd day. Lobster roll $30 - where's the meat? If I shifted the meat to one side, it probably was only half the bread size, and small pieces too. Nicoise salad $20 - glad this one was decent. Good size salmon. Good cook on it. I think they should use their other dressing instead though. Jon lechon $19 - mostly fat. I know lechon is belly, but there should still be some meat. I liked the vinegar sauce. But wish there was meat that I could eat. Also wish the rice was softer. The extra chicharrones pieces were exciting to see, but sadly inedible (could not chew). Fish of the day $21 - I don't believe online said what the fish was. But the picture and description led me to think it would be similar to a Chinese style ginger-green onion fish filet. Instead it appears to be an ahi steak, well done.

    Interior. The large trash can kind of killed the ambiance for me.

    First time here. Ample parking on the street anywhere surrounding the establishment if you don't mind walking. It was a nice walk and not too far which was good because it was raining a bit today. I ordered the shawarma with chicken. It was the first shawarma I've had that used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. I guess it was supposed to be a build it yourself type thing because the pita bread was in a separate package. They were sliced in triangles so I wasn't sure how to go about eating this as a typical shawarma. I soon figured it out that the pita is for the hummus and you just eat everything separately. Or maybe I was doing it wrong.... Lol.... The food lacked flavor or probably the spices that typically go into making a shawarma were just not there. I'm guessing this is a more of a takeout establishment because they served us our orders in takeout containers, but we ate there. A family of four ordered right after us and they spent over $120 on lunch served to them also in plastic takeout containers.

    As a lobster roll lover, this is among the better lobster rolls on the island. I like the lobster and the soft buttery bun. My gf loves the crispy fries. Not a cheap sandwich but worth splurging on.

    Lunch for 3 in Manoa... Located across the street a little past Safeway, this restaurant is located on the corner. They do not have a parking lot, so we had to find street parking. Ordering process - you order with the cashier and they bring your food to the table. I had the soba noodles salad with salmon. It was fresh tasting with a good light flavor. My husband had the hamburger steak plate. The patty was homemade and was delicious. With Mac salad and rice - a good local plate lunch. The chef here is John Matsubara who was on Alex vs America. I remember watching that episode and he kicked the Iron chef's you know what lol. I did enjoy my lunch on a nice rainy day. It has a feel good, hipster atmosphere.

    Okay, so first things first, if you're planning to come to Feast for a great dine-in experience, you're not going to get that. There's no parking really, and just a few tables where you can sit and eat from your takeout containers. Not exactly the ambiance you might be looking for. Having said that the food is so much better than the ambiance would suggest. The lobster roll was rich and buttery, and the other specials all looked delicious too. Service is basically just counter service, but it wasn't too slow, and the food was hot and fresh. Would definitely be back.

    Magic Menu JFC - highly recommend! The fries are cooked to perfection, the breading is original, and gravy as the sauce - genius!

    Luxury Plate-Lunch - I forget where I read/heard that about Feast, but that is a short and simple way to really describe potentially what may be available and at what price. I first ate here during 2020 so it wasn't somewhere to sit and eat, and I still have not tried sitting here. I usually enjoy my meals on-the-go since the reason why I'm here is probably because work sent me to Manoa to work. But, I highly recommend calling in your order since they're fast, timing is great, and they can get pretty busy. As far as food, call me crazy but the $30 lobster is kind of worth it. Maybe it's because my husband and I split it so it was (technically) only $15 for the regular sized option, but man did we love it. What I didn't love was the magic menu sized option. The magic menu is a great way to bring in customers who are on budget or eat less, but still want some great food; most items on the menu are $10 and are just smaller versions of the regular menu. My favorite to get is the John Fried Chicken (JFC) and I love the fries and gravy that come with it. I also don't know what they bread the chicken with, but it's sure unique, even the gravy on the side too! I definitely recommend the regular size option if you're not interested in the magic menu. Why did I knock off a star? Sometimes I just can't get the price at some places. I also wish there were more items on the magic menu. Would I still eat here again? Of course! Would I recommend my friends and family to eat here? Yeah, pretty much. But most likely we'll all wince at the price juuuuuuust a little.

    Petite Lobster Roll
    Cassandra H.

    I ordered the mini hamburger steak and petite lobster roll off of the magic menu. The regular sized lobster roll is $30 which I didn't want to spend but still wanted to try since this is what they're known for. So I opted for the petite version which is literally two bites for $11. I was hoping so bad to hate it because of the price but it was delicious. I'm definitely going back for the full sized one next time I'm in the area. The mini hamburger steak was good but nothing special. My husband got a burger which came with fries for $12 which I thought was a good deal especially with prices these days. Overall, very tasty. But there is only street parking as far as I know which sucks. Especially because there were only a few people there and we had a hard time finding a spot so I can't imagine how it is when it gets busy.

    Salt meat & watercress. Super tasty. But so little watercress.
    Akemi O.

    Craving Lobster roll and fries. Feast never disappoints when I get that. LOtsa lobster, choke skinny fries. But then I got kula salad and salt meat & watercress for dinner and lunch. The salad had most the rib and light less healthy parts of the lettuce. And salt meat and watercress hardly had any watercress! Looked more like just a garnish. Both tasted good but fell short of expectation. Little disappointed.

He described everything with such care that it was hard not to order everything! I'd highly recommend a reservation as there was not an empty table the entire two hours we were there. The restaurant is on the smaller side so it can get quite loud but our table had great conversations and a overall lovely time. Appetizer: We ordered the konpachi hush puppies (apologies, they had a nicer name but this is how they were described to us) and they were delicious! I'm not a lover of fish, but these were so flavorful and the sauce paired perfectly with it. Drinks: I had the meringue di cedri to drink and it was akin to a lemon drop (10/10) it was sippable and lasted my whole meal. Husband had the Hana Koa Rice Breaker, which is one of his favorites as its smooth and pairs well with honestly anything. Entree: You will be missing out if you don't get the lemon risotto. I ordered it with the prosciutto and it may be one of the best meals I've had in Hawaii. The zucchini is done two ways in it: diced to be mixed in with the risotto and thinly sliced and grilled on top of the risotto. The panko crumbs on top really solidified the plate for me as top tier as risotto can get to be boring to eat after a few bites as they can lack texture, but not this risotto! Every bite was a journey and it was a very filling meal. My husband ordered the Korean steak and said it was better than some of the local steakhouses we had gone to. Our friend ordered the spaghetti carbonara and enjoyed it as well. Dessert: We were encouraged to try the Rocky Road ice cream and decided it was a must have when you visit. It was creamy, rich and delectable. We also opted to try the dessert special of the evening which was a Lilikoi cheesecake with a chocolate mousse. The cheesecake had a sour tang to it and the chocolate mousse partner with it to balance it out so it wasn't overly sweet. We loved it and I know in a few days we'll be craving this meal all over again!

France meets Italy - meets Hawaii. I'm still dreaming of this. The burger features a thick, juicy, 8-ounce grass-fed patty made from a custom house-selected blend of short rib, chuck roast, and brisket. Get it with the crispy potatoes. You will thank me. Risotto on point. Luxuriously rich, creamy texture. The rice retains a slight al dente bite in the center, giving it structure rather than letting it become mushy. Prosciutto adds a perfect salty, savory crunch to break up the rich risotto. The only misstep was the fries served with the quinoa burger. They were chalky, served at room temperature, limp, and underseasoned. Excellent friendly informal service. Park at the municipal parking on Bethel St just 1/2 block away. Happy Eating!!

The smoked octopus was sliced in pieces that were too thick and a little too chewy and the andouille sausage and black pepper overpowered the dish. Ordered the bourbon and bone marrow mostly for the presentation. It was WAAAY too rich and needed more bread to go with it. They should've served it with bread that wasn't buttered because the buttered bread even though tasty by itself was just too rich in combination with all of that bone marrow. The dish needed more balance. The ice cream sundae was unremarkable. Would have preferred it served with a choice of hot fudge or the caramel drizzle and since it was plain vanilla ice cream they could've drizzled a lot more caramel over it. The waitress did bring us more nuts when we asked, but they were busy at the time and she was the only server so it took her a while to get to us, and the ice cream was pretty melted by the time she delivered. We got there when they opened at 5 PM and they had two servers at that time. The place wasn't busy so it seemed like they had enough help for the amount of tables that were being seated. An hour and a half later, though, one server was missing (possibly taking a lunch break) and the only server remaining at several big parties to take care of which slowed down her responsiveness to the other smaller tables like ours. The music playing in the background seemed to fit the environment and was pleasant to listen to. It's a pretty casual atmosphere. The prices for what you get are a bit on the high end. Probably wouldn't go back unless someone else is paying. We didn't feel too bad this time because we had a gift certificate which covered most of our bill. Maybe we were choosing all the wrong items and should have just stuck to ordering meat dishes, which they might be better at making (with a name like Livestock). You'll have to check this place out yourself and see if they do a better job with meat and if the prices for those dishes are more reasonable. I gave this place four stars instead of three because the servers were friendly, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was mostly okay (tasty enough and filling).

    I had the chance to dine at Scratch Kitchen in Kapolei back in 2024 for a special Mother's Day…read morelunch with my youngest daughter. I'd never been to their other locations, so this was my first experience -- and honestly, it left an impression. That spot in Kapolei has seen a few restaurants come and go over the years. Before Scratch Kitchen, there was Sugar Cane, and if I reach far enough back, I'm pretty sure a Mexican restaurant lived there too. It's one of those spaces where you hope the next place finally sticks. But the food at Scratch Kitchen? Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where the pictures alone make your mouth water. If "smell‑a‑vision" or "lick‑your‑screen" technology existed, everyone would understand exactly what I mean. Every dish was full of flavor, beautifully done, and perfect for a Mother's Day treat. Which is why I can't help but wonder what happened -- like so many restaurants before them in that same location. With food that good, you'd hope they'd be the ones to break the cycle. All in all, I'm grateful I got to enjoy that meal with my daughter. It was memorable, delicious, and one of those small moments you hold onto. Marie

    Stopped by Scratch Kitchen in Honolulu for brunch, and honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't packed. We…read morewent mid-morning on a weekday and the place was nearly empty--not sure if it was just good timing or an underrated gem. Either way, it made for a super relaxed experience with no wait and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the food. Loved: The street tacos with the tempura shrimp were easily the star of the meal. 100% worth it. Light, crispy shrimp with a flavorful slaw and just the right amount of heat--basically a flavor party in every bite. The burger was another quiet star. Juicy patties, nicely seasoned, and stacked just right. Nothing super flashy, but really satisfying. Definitely a good pick if you're not in the mood for brunchy stuff. The Miss: Tried the French toast and... meh. It looked great on the plate but tasted dry and definitely didn't live up to the level of the other dishes. Might've just been an off day or a matter of personal taste, but I'd skip it next time.

    I know this is a revered institution, but our visit just wasn't very good. We went for breakfast:…read morethe pancakes were good, but the American Breakfast wasn't, and the potatoes were undercooked with a flavor that was almost too earthy. The pastries were just okay; we tried a few cake slices that were fine but unremarkable. The cinnamon roll was dry and hard, the malasadas were forgettable, and the haupia-filled malasada was surprisingly tart. It's possible some ingredients were locally sourced and just unfamiliar to our mainland palates, or maybe we simply caught them on an off day. The servers were curt but friendly, likely because the place was packed with tourists.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
