    French toast
    Rebecca L.

    Came here on a Sunday with some friends and food was good for a brewery. We made reservations online but we probably could have just walked in for a party of 4. They have ample seating both up and downstairs. When we were leaving, around 2p the place filled up. They had a big menu with some special Sunday brunch options too. I was craving a burger and it did not disappoint. Service was great- our server kept checking on us and let us chill for a while- we hadn't seen eachother in a while. Parking wise they have a good size lot that was empty on Sunday but I imagine is fills up at night. If not it's just street parking in the area. Overall it was a good experience and plan to be back!

    A hidden gem worth trying. The service is great from the moment we came in. The hostess is welcoming and our server was friendly and attentive. This restaurant/bar is spacious with lots of seating. Their menu is easy to choose from and lots of variety of beers to try. I'm not a beer person so I choose a Lilikoi Mulē which was very good. My husband is a IPA drinker and he loved the ones he tried. The food we got was delicious and omg, their onion rings are soo good!! In my opinion, their onion rings are the best I have tried, lol. We also got the sliders and added a extra one. That also was good. Our friends got their specials which was a brisket plate. The portion was enough to feed 2-3 people. It is a very chill place with TVs to watch and restrooms are maintained. Parking is very limited. You need to be lucky if there is parking in their parking area or street parking. We ended up parking behind their building at ALTRES which was less than a 5 minute walk. (It's free after 5pm) Other than that, I definitely will come back again.

    Had to review them because I just had the most lovely Mother's Day Brunch and I just realized how consistent this place has been over the number I've years I've come by. Whether it's for brunch, a casual midday drink, or a fun addition to a night out, it's seriously been such a great experience time and time again. Drinks. Food. Service. Atmosphere. They really wow me. I love the natural light this space brings in, and it's complemented by the friendly and bright staff members who hold this place down. They make it seem like a fun place to work! And of course I just love the food here. We had this brisket eggs Benedict that was genuinely WOW. And I always love the marlin toast. Their fries caught my eye this time so I'm definitely going back for those soon. As for drinks, I really can't remember what I've had because I often try something new to me. Never a bad decision! Ahh. Okay I think that's enough gushing for one day. Will def be back!

    Good place if you're looking for a place to hang with a group of friends that not only has good beer but also a solid selection of food! The group got a few appetizers to share along with food and drinks. As I'm not much of a beer drinker, I got the Mango Li Hing Mui Seltzer which I liked. They also have plenty of mocktail options for those who don't drink but still want something different than the typical soda. We got our drinks and food pretty quickly except for when one of them asked for another beer and it took a while for him to get it. I got the Korean Style BBQ Short Ribs and my boyfriend got the Mando Mac N' Cheese and I enjoyed both of them! He thought his wasn't salty enough but I thought it was just right. Food items ordered: - Korean Style BBQ Short Ribs - Mando Mac N' Cheese - Garden Burger w/ Side Salad - Beer Battered Fish & Chips - OG Swiss Burger w/ Onion Rings & Ranch - OG Swiss Burger w/ Fries

    Hana koa has some of the best brews on the island. You have to try the Rice Breaker if you have the chance. I brought some friends who were visiting Oahu to hang out and try some beers. The service was great, our server was very attentive despite it being busy. The food was average. My friend ordered a Teri burger medium, and it came very rare. Not sure if I have the wrong idea of what a medium burger should look like. Oh well :/

    Super cool brewery and Biggie would approve! Off the beaten path in Honolulu, Hana Koa has a great beer selection and also serve wine and spirits! The food was excellent! We started out with the spicy pickles that were not spicy but still really good! We loved the onion rings that are pickled, battered then fried. We also had the spicy kimchi shrimp that was cooked to perfection and had great flavor! I like it spicy so our server brought us some house made hot sauce that was epic! Super spicy and had a unique flavor- so good!

    Marlin toast
    Jo C.

    Had a great time at Hana Koa, Saturday night they have a prime rib special but we didnt order it. The marlin toast was delicious it comes with 3 pieces but you can add an extra piece. Smokehouse burger was perfectly cooked, argula and beet salad was a generous portion. I loved the Pumpkin Cheesecake. They also just released the Mochi Daze Ipa delicious for me but some found it too sweet. Service was friendly and lively atmosphere. Good food and great selection of draft beers.

    truffle fries
    Hannah O.

    hana koa never fails to satisfy man they're perfect for large parties, for drinks AND food, and the service and atmosphere are spot on. we have our go-to orders (farmhouse burger, smokehouse burger, fish and chips) and also love trying new things. the cubano, tuscan sando, and mando mac are also reliable too! the truffle fries are a sunday only item but our server and tonight's kitchen staff were soooo kind to let us order it on a friday night! this is why we love hana koa!

    Hana Koa is a beautiful brewery with two stories! The interior is spacious and very clean. The drink selection is vast and unique, with beers and ciders you can't find other places and taste extremely refreshing. Parking is limited as the street is narrow and doesn't really allow for street parking nearby. I would plan to park a few blocks away and walk. Regardless, I would highly recommend checking out Hana Koa Brewing while in Oahu!!

    So we had a team building function at Hana koa brewery. We went during Happy hour 3-6 The following staff gave awesome customer service recommendations. They're very knowledgeable into details about even the brewing of their beer. The food is great. The beer was great most definitely we will be back. Got the following FLIGHT OF THE WEEK (no substitutions) breaktime blonde, rooftop, rotating sour, rotating ipa Marlin toast The following individual stood out while we were there Bartenders Sarina, Nick and sunny production brewer Kris

    Stopped in on a busy Tuesday night. The lot was full and all street parking was taken. Hostess told us to find street parking or we can park in the parking garage behind the building called "Altres" which was free of charge and allowed after 5pm. I think making a reservation would be recommended, but we lucked out with walking-in and snagging a high top table. Ordered a flight and my all-time favorite HanaKoa Beer, which is the Rice Lager. All beers on tap were written on the wall and you can find more on the menu. This place was poppin' for a Tuesday night but all of our servers were helpful and friendly. I didn't feel like I was waiting around for a server to come by despite it being busy. I recommend this place! This is one of my favorite breweries on island and I know I will definitely come again.

    Hana koa hamburger. Quite filling and tasty.
    Mark F.

    Stopped in yesterday evening for some drinks and dinner. Glad we did because we haven't visited this brewery on this trip yet and wish we had because we've only got a week left to go. For a Monday evening the place seemed quite busy which surprised us. We each had three beers and my favorite was the rooftop which is one of their staple beers. We ordered the Marlin toast which comes in three pieces. We added one more and didn't regret it because they were that good. For our meal ordered the Hana koa hamburger and both thought it was quite good. Even splitting it gave us a nice full belly with no complaints. The vibe here was quite good, no loud music or 30 television screens blaring at you while you're trying to enjoy a conversation. The service was excellent and the bartender was quick to offer a sample of something you might not be sure of. We always appreciate that.

    Mac and cheese, good but not mind blowing
    Matt S.

    Hana Koa is hands down the best brewery on Oahu. I know some people will fight me on this, but I stand by what I said. If you're looking for a spot that puts out creative, flavorful beers, this is the place. Their beer selection is unmatched, and what makes them stand out is the way they blend local flavors with fun, inventive ideas. Surf Pup is punchy, One Moa is hands down one of the best cream ales out there, and Love Letter is a bold double IPA. I've been coming here for years, and while not every beer has been my personal favorite, I've never felt let down. they're always well-crafted and intentional. And the food? Also solid. There are only a couple of menu items I wouldn't order again, but overall this is a place you can enjoy with family or friends (even if beer isn't your thing). The sliders are a go-to, the mac & cheese is decent, and I love that they run daily specials to keep things fresh. Favorites of mine include the Pork Belly Sliders, Bang-a-Rang Shrimp, Nakamura's Marlin Toast, and the Fried Chicken Sando. The Captain Salad is another standout, huge portions and packed with flavor. If you're staying in Waikiki, you'll want to carve out time to make it here. It's just about 15 minutes away by Uber or bus, and honestly, if you're up for it, you could even walk. It's not that far. That's what makes this place so special. You can escape the chaos of Waikiki, but still be close enough that it's convenient. Totally worth the trip. If you skip it, you'll regret it.

He definitely knew how to entertain and captivate a crowd! I would speak about it more, but I can't give away the magician's secrets. My only complaint is that Lokahi Brewing fit us all into a pretty tight space on the second floor so it was a bit uncomfortable. 5/5 Yelp Stars for Matthew Singer. Unfortunately, Lokahi Brewing's food missed the mark for me. Their brews were not bad, but there are other breweries in town that I prefer over Lokahi. I tried 4 different ones, and my favorite was the FLOOR IS GUAVA. Here's all the food we got: LOKAHI NACHOS w/ BIRRIA MEAT ($23) [3/5] - Portion was decent for $23, but the chips ran stale and there was uneven distribution of cheese and toppings throughout the nachos. Literally, one side had all the cheese and toppings. The birria meat didn't really taste of the classic Mexican spices that makes birria so good, it felt more like pulled pork. It was also dry. FRIED PICKLES ($10?) [2/5] - This was SO SALTY. I didn't really taste the tang of the pickles, felt like it was squeezed out of all its juice. It was ultimately just chips with a ton of salt. I downed two cups of water trying to finish these. Ultimately, I would come back to Lokahi Brewing for their shows and a brew or two, but I'll eat at home or elsewhere first before coming.
