    One of the best Asian skewer restaurant in Honolulu. Friendly staff and cozy beer house atmosphere. Wide selections of skewers, but I like the salt & pepper corn and zucchini the best. Remember, if you can't handle spicy, request for mild spiciness. Will definitely come back. It opens late till 1am so a great late night spot

    We wanted to try Mongolian skewers, and this was definitely the spot to do it! The seating area is on the smaller side, with about 7-8 tables that can seat roughly 4-6 people each, so it feels cozy and lively. The menu has a huge variety of skewers -- lamb, beef, beef tendon, chicken feet, venison, chicken hearts, and more. My party was excited and basically wanted to try everything. The skewers are pretty small, but that just means you get to sample more -- I'm pretty sure we went through around 60 skewers total and I honestly enjoyed them all. Aside from the skewers, the eggplant dish and the crawfish were especially delicious, so I highly recommend ordering those too. Service was fast and helpful. You can keep ordering as you go, and the food comes out quickly, which makes the whole experience fun and easy. If you're craving skewers, you've got to check this place out -- it's a must-try!

    We didnt reserve,all tables were taken but manage to get seated within 20 minutes. Theres very limited tables so reservations is recommended. Staff is of excellent service. The most authentic tasting skewers Ive tried. The best skewers restaurant in Hawaii. Its a small dining space so it can get loud.

    We tried Khan Skewer recently and overall it was just ok for me. I wouldn't necessarily suggest it to others, but I also wouldn't mind going back if someone invited, just not a place I'd go out of my way for. Others in my party enjoyed their food more than I did. The flavors were pretty similar across most of the dishes, so nothing really stood out. The mushrooms came in a foil container with a soup/sauce that felt a bit odd. I really loved the corn, I ordered two! Dessert at the end was actually good though and a nice finish to the meal. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. Parking is small but there's street parking nearby. When we arrived there were only a few parties seated, but by the time we left the place was packed with people waiting for tables, so definitely make reservations.

    Khan Skewer Restaurant: A Delightful Surprise Khan Skewer Restaurant has been on my radar as a place to try. Since it was Restaurant Week, we promptly made a dinner reservation (highly suggested). While dining, I did see a walk-in party being turned away (or perhaps told to return later). It's located on Isenberg St near South King in Moiliili, fronting the St. Louis Clubhouse. Parking available in a handful of spaces fronting the restaurant or on the street. We ordered the Restaurant Week menu which was for 2-3 persons. The garlic edamame appetizer came out quickly. The deep fried chicken tenders and skewers were served atop a wooden serving tray. The 2-top table became quite crowded, with dishes arranged in puzzle-like fashion, as the server quipped. Our favorites of the evening were the chicken tenders, eggplant, and butter scallops (which were individually served as there were prepared in 3 different ways). The grand finale was the snow fluffy milk ice, which was available in lilikoi or peach flavor. Noticed a nearby table eyeing it from afar lol. Such a great way to end a meal!

    I have been wanting to try here for a while, finally got to come out tonight. Super cute small place but so worth it. We waited for about 20 mins but didn't seem that long. Service was great, food didn't take to long to come out, we ordered more as we went. Everything came out cooked on skewers, the pan was warm to keep the food items warm. I loved the mushroom medley as well. I'll be back again with friends and maybe even try one of their tower alcoholic drinks, those looked good.

    Free melon dessert!!!

    I always love coming here! The atmosphere is lively and fun! Food is always good. Tried the venison for the first time and it was great without and sauce. Tender and flavorful! Eggplant is always a winner with the garlic and butter. Chicken wings is another go to for us. Servers are always friendly no matter how busy they get. It is understandable that they may get overwhelmed at times but they are always happy to serve. Place has gotten so much busier lately so make sure you make a reservation before coming

    Great service at this new to me restaurant. Came to celebrate the Chinese New Year and was treated with special lai see treats. First a lai see for coming and then one for on the spot discounts (from $$ to % discounts). Staff was super friendly and assorted skewers and courses delicious! The oysters were the star of the show! I love garlic and the dishes were well seasoned with it. Great spot!

    Beef tongue! My fav

    After eating our way through Flushing, NY last month and finding our new addiction-skewers, we've been craving them since we came back home. I've only had tried HNL skewer house but my fiance wanted to try this place. Definitely satisfied my craving, we left happy and full (but $150 poorer lol). We arrived at 5:44pm and the waitress/ hostess was like "we have a reservation at 7:30 do you think you can finish in time?" Who takes 2 hours to eat dinner but I told her of course so she sat us. They quickly brought us our dipping sauce and spice and a cute warmer tray heated by some tea candles. We ordered the pork belly, lamb, chicken gizzard,and beef tongue skewers, all were DELICIOUS. The dipping sauce was kind of like a fresh garlic and chili pepper sauce? I'm not really sure, it was sweet, refreshing and spicy all at the same time. And went perfectly with the fatty meat skewers and whatever spice mix they put on the side. We ended up asking for extra of both dips lol. For our sides we got the fried rice- big chunks of pork belly in it, yum. Scallop with vermicelli- a little too zingy for my taste and the scallops were quite small. Eggplant- juicy and garlicky! One of the best things we ordered! And the golden tofu- someone posted a picture here of skewers with the caption but it was NOT SKEWERS! Just pan fried spicy tofu... mid. Your meal also comes with a complimentary dessert- snow. Peach or passion fruit, with Frosted Flakes on top! Tasted like frozen cereal bowl lol so yummy. My only two issues were the price and the service a bit. It was fully packed and there was only one person taking orders but she forgot quite a few of our things and we had to wave her down multiple times for the same things. And prices were a little crazy too- $8-$12 for 3-5 skewers. In New York they were $1-2 each AND higher quality. Overall we'll be back but definitely only for a special occasion due to the price. ALSO!!! Make a reservation if you have a big party! The restaurant is quite small and gets busy fast.

    They have onsite parking but only one of the gates is open. When parking, it's tight. If you get there at opening time, you can back into a spot rather head in first since only one gate is open. Came in and ordered a few things. Skewers were okay, got a mushroom medley and green onion pancake which was flavorful and crispy.

    Spent $$$ just for mediocre food that is seasoned all the same way and terrible service. Immediately upon entry, the place smelled of strong spices. Took a while to get greeted and sat. We ordered so much food (not all captured). We even had a special occasion we were celebrating. Our server asked if we'd like them to sing to the person of honor so we said yes. But she dropped off the shaved ice and left. It was pretty disappointing to be honest..

    Mike L.

    There's a tiny parking lot for a couple cars but street parking wasn't too bad. There's also happy hour which is enjoyable. Overall all the skewers were good. Khan Skewer also offers dishes too.

    Made reservations - would recommend as they stayed full during our visit. The chicken cartilage was hubs' fave. I liked the pork jowl. Would've liked the beef tongue to have been grilled just a tad longer. Saw many tables order the scallop w/ vermicelli, so had to give it a try - very garlicky - ok but wouldn't necessarily order again. Our meals ended with a complimentary shave ice - refreshing. Service was friendly and attentive.

We had to order one of their sig crab dishes, and we rounded out the meal w/ beef and long beans, sweet & sour pork belly, eggplant and fried rice. The crab was amazing! The curry sauce was so deep & complex. In addition, the crab was fresh bc they have tanks in the restaurant. Of course I called dibs on the head, and it was packed with goodies. I added rice to the head (in Ilocano this is called "labay", adding rice to soup or broth to extend the meal). I was in heaven. The other dishes were all big portions and very good. The meat was tender, and the veggies were fresh and crunchy. I believe all the other dishes were ~ $20/each. The staff was super nice. We didn't have a res, but luckily we were seated in 20 min on a busy Sun night. Regarding the dining area, its tight but comfy. You have to wash your hands after, and the bathrooms are clean. I will def return the next time I come home. I want to try another crab dish (about 8 versions), and build a meal around the crab.

The texture is more enjoyable when eating. Flat noddle - would have prefer to be more wide in size. Had the beef noodle classic -flavor in broth was decent, but could use with additional pickle vegetables to bring some sour and cut the richness of the broth. beef itself was very tender and came in separate bowl. Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb. Highly recommended* price - reasonable for quality - but could have more noodle for quantity*
