We dined in on Friday at 4pm for happy hour. Valeted in the garage for $7 and sat on the patio. Our…read moretable was very wobbly, but the server fixed that right away and promptly took our order since we came in with the intention of getting crispy rice. After trying it, I personally thought the crispy rice tasted like potatoes. That was a new flavor that we weren't really expecting. The texture of the spicy ahi was also a little different... But other than that the meal was fantastic. Oysters were 10/10 vvvv good oysters. My favorite of all the options we ordered. The table side prepared fried rice was a bit mushy to our liking, we added wagyu but actually preferred the happy hour rib eye skewers after trying both. We dont usually order desert at happy hour, but am glad we saved room for it because I really liked the green tea (not matcha) ice cream. Overall we had a lot of fun! And our server was perfectly attentive, clearing empty plate, taking new orders, refreshing our drinks and bringing fresh share plates. The food came out fast and he made it a point to course everything out for us. Thank you Austin!

I've been to Doraku Kakaʻako many times, and the food and service are always pretty solid. My…read morefavorite thing to order is the spicy tuna crispy rice. The sushi and rolls are good too, the portions are decent, and the drinks are good. The only downside is the price. Even some of the simpler items are a little expensive. On our recent visit, a cockroach ran out from under our table before our food came, which was pretty gross. I know roaches are kind of everywhere in Hawaiʻi, but it still wasn't something you want to see at a restaurant. Overall, the place is pretty clean, but I think it could be a little cleaner.

Definitely made it to one of the top izakaya places on my list…read more Portion sizes are actual sharing sizes and the quality is fresh and flavorful. Everyone was able to try everything and eat a second serving of it which is good because most serving sizes at izakaya places are so small you can only get one bite (there were 5 of us). The price is actually reasonable for the amount you get. As you can see, portion size is a really big thing for me. I didn't order so I'm not sure what the exact names of the dishes were but the highlights for me were braised pork belly, king salmon, crab/cream croquette and an eggplant mushroom medley dish. The pork belly specifically because it came out hot and fell apart so easy. The fat and meat just melted in your mouth. They gave two huge pieces so we were able to all have a second serving. I was told the place was newly renovated and I could def see that. Super clean and brand new looking. Service was good even tho we were the only party upstairs. I would come back.

This place serves the Japanese food you've been craving. From fresh sushi to delicious hot food,…read moreyou just can't go wrong. Due to the limited dining area space I would recommend coming in early or making a reservation first. We ordered the wafu steak, sushi, agedashi tofu, pork belly, misoyaki butterfish, and nasu kinoko. I highly recommend the nasu kinoko if you've never had it before and love buttery mushrooms. The wafu steak is a must as well!

Went here for my birthday dinner. Thoroughly surprised at how good the food was and the service…read more Beautiful, modern interior and the atmosphere was chic. The menu has changed to a more tapa style. We went with our two young children & they were very accommodating. We ordered a bunch of stuff but most notable was the Ensalada Salad, Croquette Cordero, Taco Raisu, Karaage Pollo, and for dessert, the Piña Borracha. We ordered some pork and steak skewers. These were ok, I would skip these next time. A little burnt. My favorite was the Ensalada Salad. The crab was sweet and the salsa opaca was so refreshing with the apple foam. Was told to smash the crisp on top and combine it with everything and that took it to another level! So good that we ordered another one. The price of this was so affordable too! The Croquette Cordero was like a mini curry ball with chimuchirri sauce. A little heavy but if you love curry, this is for you! The Taco Raisu surprised us. The taco meat was so flavorful!! Even though we were stuffed, we kept going back for more. It's like a deconstructed taco & you use the lettuce as a wrap. The Karaage Pollo came with a Cucumber Escabeche. It was so tangy and refreshing, which perfectly cuts through the rich, savory oiliness of the fried chicken. We got the Piña Borracha for dessert and that had a coconut cake, coconut lime mousse, banana lilikoi curd, and pasted pineapple on top. Amazing!! Great way to end the night. Everything was top notch. You can tell they put a lot of effort into each dish. Can't wait to go back!

Restaurant-wise, I believe the menu had a recent change-up to further explore fusion possibilities. I've been going down the list and the dishes have been pretty good so far; I haven't made it to the taco raisu yet, but I do need me some desserts. The picarones is like a peruvian andagi, which was pretty cool. The miso cream brûlée was from the prior menu, but also a Yes. The bar is knowledgeable and innovative their mixology- I've had the shizuku garden and that was amazing.

My ALL TIME favorite spot for: Happy Hour, post-night foodies, sports day event, all of the above…read more I cannot say enough great thing about this place. The atmosphere, the staff, the food and the drinks NEVER disappoint. Kenny, Lexi, and Dimitri always take care of us. We walk in and they already know our order. Our top faves have to be: oyster shooters, truffle hand rolls, scallop mayo hand rolls, and the PWK shots!!! I recently celebrated my 30th there and they are perfect for a group party!

Came here to watch FIFA and had a great time. The atmosphere is casual, there are plenty of TVs,…read moreand it's easy to catch whatever game you're looking for! I ordered a neat pour of whiskey and was pleasantly surprised by their selection. My friends got the brisket, garlic chicken, fries, and beer - all of which disappeared pretty quickly, so I'd say that's a good sign! The service is efficient and straightforward, no fluff, and overall it's just a solid sports bar to hang out and watch a game.

The food was really good! We had the Crispy Pork Ribs, Chicken Satay, and Thai Chicken Wings (not…read morein images). I think out of all those three entrees, I would really recommend the Crispy Pork Ribs! The Chicken Satay had a similar taste to huli huli chicken and it's cooked really well! Melts in your mouth! For dessert, I had the Moo Deng Young Coconut Jelly. It was the right amount of sweetness but the coconut flavor was a bit bland. Worth trying though! It was quite busy when we went but the waitlist moved by quickly. Our orders were given to us in the order of drinks, appetizers, main, and dessert. The inside of the restaurant also gave off thai street style and the mural of the locals eating is a nice touch!

The food was very good with shareable portion sizes. Also the prices of the entrees and appetizers…read morewere moderately priced. I was in a party of four. This restaurant is located in Chinatown Honolulu and we went at about 8:30pm in the evening and it was busy inside the restaurant and not a place to wait outside for an Uber ( best to wait inside and Sing Sing management allowed my party to do just that). All the dishes we ordered were the Jatujak baby potatoes, beef dumplings, Thai chicken wings, some thom yum fried rice, and vegetable spring rolls. It was also interesting to know that they have a bring your own bottle policy. So other parties sitting around us brought their own wine. I would give it another visit, especially for another visit to Chinatown area.

Tteokboki came in a thick sweet/spicy/creamy sauce with tteok, sausage, and glass noodles. Kimchi pancake was on the thinner side and crispy on the outside but still soft/chewy on the inside. Parking: enter by turning left from King st. There's plenty parking just outside the restaurant. There were QR code signs to pay but staff said no need pay for parking.

My friends wanted to try this and it was fun on a Friday night…read more We started with the kimchee pancake which was thin and crispy. Very flavorful, I didn't need the dipping sauce. Next we shared the mandoo. This was a generous portion and each morsel was stuffed with delicious filling. Could have been a little more crispy but still, pretty good. The pork katsu was served next. This was super thin and crispy. They put a big serving of kastu sauce/gravy all over which kind of was on the sweeter side for my taste. At our server's recommendation, we ordered their fried chicken. This large basket came to us hot and fresh. Excellent thin crunchy outside while juicy on the inside. Catchy tunes playing on their monitors. They have karaoke rooms if you'd like to sing. Fun place to hang out with friends. Parking attended by AirGarage.

Work celebration with an amazing lunch at ONKEE Korean Grill House!…read more Our party of six made an 11:00 AM reservation and ordered the Grill Lunch Set. Since it was a Friday, the restaurant was pleasantly quiet, making it the perfect setting to relax, enjoy good food, and catch up with the team. Location & Parking The restaurant is located on the second floor. You can take the stairs next to Dean & Deluca or use the elevator. We parked near Ward Theatres, and it was just a short, easy walk. Atmosphere The restaurant is clean, modern, and inviting. It has a calm ambiance that's perfect for conversations, celebrations, or a casual lunch. Service Our server was friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment we arrived, making our first visit even more enjoyable. Favorite Banchan My favorite was what I believe was the seasoned spinach with soft tofu--it was light, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. The kimchi was another standout, with the perfect balance of tanginess, spice, and crunch. We kept reaching for both throughout the meal because they paired so well with the grilled meats. Grill Master A special shoutout to our boss, who happily took on the role of grill master and made sure everything was cooked to perfection. We definitely ate well and were spoiled! Overall Everyone in our group had a wonderful first experience. We're so glad we chose ONKEE Korean Grill House for our work celebration and will definitely be back. It's a great spot for lunch with family, friends, or coworkers. Highly recommend!

Tried the Onkee Special Set, which came with a some banchan, two types of stews (kimchi and…read moresoybean), an egg, rice, four different types of meat, and dessert. The variety and quality of the meats were definitely the highlight, everything was delicious and there was plenty of food to enjoy. They also had a $9 spicy pineapple margarita, which was a fun and tasty addition! The only downside was that the staff was a bit slow, especially considering the restaurant wasn't very busy when we visited. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a good variety of Korean BBQ meats and sides.

This Chinese restaurant has been around for a while serving up seafood and other delicious dishes…read more They're known for their lobster deals, and along with your traditional Chinese classics. We like the lobster, honey walnut shrimp, salted fish egg white fried rice, fried tofu, spinach with thousand year old eggs and many more. Definitely a nostalgic spot for myself, and it's usually busy. Our lobster was small last time and the sauce was watery. But overall would recommend. Check it out for your Chinese food fix!

Reviewers has it right. Fook Yuen is an average, 3-star tier Chinese Restaurant…read more This place is always busy! I have a feeling it's for the convenience from Waikīkī and the fact it's on the second floor. My gonggong always enjoys eating at Chinese restaurant that are on higher floors because it symbolized its more high class, high status, more luxury, etc. Many well known restaurants are like that in Guangzhou, and Hawai'i had many restaurants like that, such as Wo Fat, Empress, China House, Royal Garden, Lau Yee Chai in the Waikīkī Shopping Plaza, and maybe Hee Hong and Panda Cuisine. The food feels like it's prepared with less and less care and only care about just getting it out as soon as possible. The Lobsters - one with black bean sauce, other with green onion and ginger - were small and one note. It ate like the lobster was flash fried to temp, played, and then sauce/toppings were added on top. The lobster ate dry, especially the green onion one. Black bean sauce was bland too, but at least had some flavor. The Sweet Sour Fish was prepared exactly the same as the lobster. Deep fried the fish, plated, sauce on top. The 10-15 seconds of tossing it in a wok must be too hard. Sauce was too tart and lacked the sweet and savory for balance. Chinese Broccoli with Garlic sauce was bland and almost had zero garlic flavor. Braised Tofu with Mushroom and Snow Peas were okay. Decent oyster sauce flavor. Doesn't seem it was mixed around that much. The Jellyfish ate and tasted like the premade, packaged variety with just the salty one note flavor. Is it me, or is an order of soup getting smaller and smaller while the price is higher and higher? Seems like whether a table of 4 or a table of 6, the soup will always yield one small bowl per person. The Fish Maw and Crab Meat soup was disappointing. Bland. Don't feel any effort was put into this soup. Overall, the food wasn't awful. It just isn't as good as other places. Speed and less care are obvious in its taste and presentation. It doesn't feel authentic. It doesn't feel elevated. Basement level food served on the 2nd level. This place gets too loud when it's busy, and it's difficult to communicate with servers and your own dining companions. Sad there aren't many of these style Chinese Restaurants now, and no one wants to open them.
