    Most people come here for happy hour or dinner, but don't miss out on their breakfast menu! It's truly a hidden gem as a breakfast spot. I was shocked to see a nearly empty restaurant at 11am on a Sunday. Interesting menu and excellent execution. The loco moco with the omurice was amazing! The egg was so fluffy and soft, and the meat had lots of flavor. Their matcha pancakes were also worth a try - soft and light with a good matcha flavor. I loved my lengua nachos. It didn't feel quite like breakfast food to me, nonetheless it's delicious and I killed it. The ambiance was modern, hip with a tall ceiling so it felt very spacious inside. The service was attentive and friendly. Best of all, for the quality of food and service that we received, we thought the price was reasonable. Can't wait to go back for another breakfast to try their other items!

    When you walk in, the restaurant, bar area, and staff are all very welcoming. Service was good, though the food felt just ok during my visit. I ordered the taco nasu and the milk cereal panna cotta, and was also able to try the braised pork kuakini benedict (pictured) and the chili-ki-les (not pictured). The benedict and tacos were a bit one-noted for me, but the chili-ki-les stood out, as did the milk cereal panna cotta. Overall, it wasn't a bad place to eat, portions are smaller, but I am interested in trying the dinner menu as well :-)

    I came here to celebrate my birthday with my cousins. We arrived early enough to take advantage of the happy hour specials. When you enter, there is a bar on the left and a large dining space in the middle. We sat in the back area in a booth-type seat. Our server was friendly and helpful with ordering, since it was our first time eating here. She gave some recommendations on the food and drinks. She didn't know all the drinks, so she had to check with the bar. Some of the food we ordered was: salt and vinegar wings, beef and bacon patties, ahi stack, tofu poke, enoki scallop and corn dashi, and the pork belly kakuni. Everything was delicious! My favorites of the night were the pork belly and the enoki scallop. The meal ended with a sparkling ice cream dessert! The presentation was beautiful in the golden crane ice cream holder and lit up with sparklers! Happy Eating!

    Yummmm!! Definitely a must try kind of place!!! This was my first time here upon a recommendation from a friend. I loved everything about the Ki ... the service, the vibe, the atmosphere, the food and more! The service was excellent!!! The bartender was great she answered all our questions and made excellent recommendations on drinks and food! I enjoyed the Enoki mushroom scallops, the bone marrow, and Ahi pizza. They are definitely must try! I can't remember the name of my drinks but they were so good!!! The restaurant is clean, the bathroom was clean --just that alone to me says a lot about a place!! You have to try the Ki Club! I suggest catch an Uber, Lyft or ride so you can enjoy all the different drinks and Sake!! And don't have to worry about parking! I definitely will be back and hope to see you there too!!

    Last month happy hour. Today returned for brunch. Brunch is now my favorite meal of the day at the Ki Club ! Asian fusion at its finest. Let's start with the service... always top notch! The three times I have been her have received consistently friendy and efficient service. Take excellent care of Andrew and his team...Rachel, Kayla, John. Thank you for taking excellent care of us. And live the recommendations provided. And what to order? For brunch my two favorites would be the locomoco served with yuzu demiglacé and the chilequiles. Both memorable. My brunching partners raved about their tacos. Thank you for the beautiful birthday desserts also. Great place to celebrate an ocassion..! Parking can get a little challenging tho the Ki Club does have two parking lots... one in the front and one in the back (paid lot in back). Do yourself a favor and find a space!

    Primer rib and Garlic mashed potato - one of the specials of the night

    We stopped by Ki Club for dinner right before catching Fluffy the Comedian at Blaisdell Arena. Since I'd seen so many Instagram videos about this spot, it made our shortlist of nearby restaurants to try -- and I'm glad we did. The food was solid overall. Our server was great at walking us through the specials, so we went with the prime rib and mashed potatoes, which hit the spot. The fries and chicken wings were tasty, though I wasn't a fan of the fried unagi balls or the poke tower with shrimp crackers. The highlight of the night was definitely dessert -- a matcha creation paired with ice cream that was both delicious and memorable. To top it off, the staff went above and beyond: when they found out we were celebrating, our server surprised us with sparklers, adding such a fun and festive touch. I would definitely come here again to try their brunch menu. This place turns into a nightclub at night and would also be giving the night life try again with my friends!

    From pilates classes to comedy, brunch, dinner, club night, private events, you name it - they do it all. But you don't want to miss out on their Wednesday Fish+Steak night from 4p-7p for only $25! Their happy hour menu is also available Wednesday-Sunday from 4p-6p. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the food was. The pastas were on the smaller portion size, but we grabbed a whole bunch of apps to supplement as well. I'm still dreaming about the lobster linguini and their pasta of the day (kimchee carbonara). That matcha bread pudding is comforting alongside that strawberry semifreddo which was nice. I can't believe this place can produce such great tasting food! As for the service, there were 2 guys and 1 girl that floated the entire room. It did not seem as if they had sections or designated areas. Though each were very friendly, and kept up with the witty banter that we were having. Though the music is on the louder side, I was still able to have a conversation with my party, without feeling like I had to yell. I also saw quite a bit of families on this night with their children as well. The place can definitely accommodating large parties or if you wanted to just grab a seat at the bar, that's open too. Well done again on the use of this space, with transforming it into a different type of venue of different meal periods and audiences.

    Service was excellent. Our waitress was quick to take our order and food was quick to come out. The restaurant was pretty empty when we went. There's booth and table seating. Also a bar area. Turns into a night club at night. The restaurant is very clean and trendy. Good place for a meal with friends. The food was yummy. The steak and octopus are excellent choices. The portions sizes are shareable. The waitress said the portions sizes are on the smaller side...I thought it was ok. I didn't think it was that small.

    a brunch review - We had an incredible brunch experience! The menu offered a fun variety, and we tried the bibimbap, loco moco, and pork Benedict. Each dish was flavorful and hearty, with great balance and presentation. The bibimbap stood out with its vibrant flavors and freshness, while the loco moco was rich, comforting, and perfectly seasoned. The pork Benedict was a delicious twist on the classic, with tender pork and a sauce that tied everything together beautifully. The drinks were phenomenal--creative, refreshing, and mixed with just the right amount of alcohol to complement the meal without being overpowering. Service was attentive and friendly, making the entire experience even more enjoyable. Definitely a spot worth revisiting for both the food and the drinks!

    Cheers!

    Cool vibe for Happy Hour! They even do fun brunch with mimosas. From Kalakaua Ave., there's free parking in the front lot. There's a paid parking lot in the back with a short walk way to the main entrance. If you go for Happy Hour, be sure to have their chicken wings with yuzu dipping sauce! The chicken is fried up perfectly and the sauce, they really need to bottle it and sell it....So incredible! Their tofu salad with Ho Farms tomato is also very tasty. From their brunch menu, I had the salmon Benedict. Both eggs were poached perfectly. It had generous portion of salmon and served over poi English muffins. The potato hash was nice and crispy! Everyone else at our table ordered the loco moco which they all said was very good. Both times dining in, we had wonderful customer service. Kayla is a phenomenal Server and I would totally come back on a day that she is working :)

    House salad

    This was my first time at Ki Club and I wasn't sure how the ambiance would be for a family since it becomes a club later in the evening. We came with our two kids and found the ambiance nice and welcoming. The waitress was super nice and helped guide us. Food: everything was really good. As a vegetarian my concern is always what I can eat but I got the house salad, tofu katsu, ajitama fried rice, and two desserts. Everything was really well seasoned and ono, very filling. The side of garlic mashed potatoes were good but could have used some more seasoning. Dessert was delicious and a nice end to the meal. My only complaint is the parking lot is small (Hawaii problems so it's par for the course) we got there early and self parked but still needed to pay the valet.

    Miso Crème Brûlée
    Michelle W.

    Made reservations for 7pm on a Friday night. The valet was helpful; and the hostess was friendly and informative, and sat us right away. I liked the bold and playful design with blue. I had the Grass Blade & Black Dragon Serenade for cocktails. The Black Dragon Serenade was yummy! For food we had the Maine Lobster Linguini, Gyutan Tacos, Seared Hokkaido Scallops and Miso Crème Brûlée. I think I liked the Maine Lobster Linguini the best, but everything was good. And the Miso Crème Brûlée was surprisingly rich. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order; they seem to do it all well. Service was friendly and attentive. There were also 4 birthdays going on that night!

    I've noticed Ki Club on Facebook. A friend of mine visits often, and she invited us to celebrate late Christmas. We went, and wow... The entrance was amazing, with friendly staff. The place is lovely but a bit chilly. I absolutely loved the drink I had, and the bone marrow was fantastic! The octopus was amazing, though I wish there had been more of it than the veggies. We loved their food so much that we brought our other friends to try it too.

I've loved their hamachi crudo, the calamari, the Spanish octopus and the street corn. My go to app is the maitake mushrooms. For lunch, I'm a big fan of their banh mi's as I've eaten both the brisket and lemongrass. The bread is nice and crispy and everything is oh so good. For dinner, my wife loved the soft shell crab pasta and I've really enjoyed the crispy pork belly. I'm going to come back to try the Picanha this next time! I normally take pictures but for whatever reason, I didn't these past times probably because I was too busy stuffing my face. Guess I have to come again and retry!

    Became a fan of Chef Kajioka after dining at Cafe Miro in January. As we were planning a trip back…read morein August for the wifey's bday, I definitely wanted to head back and made reservations for The Counter as I saw pics on IG of their meal here. We lucked out and found street parking nearby. As we walked into the restaurant, we were quickly greeted by the host/server who showed us to our seats along the U shaped counter. Loved the clean and modern decor inside the restaurant. As we sat down, our water cups were quickly filled and the only few questions they had for us was whether we wanted the wine pairing and we wanted to add the caviar toast and shaved truffles. We opted for the wine pairing, caviar toast and truffles. The meal was fantastic from start to finish. The most notable dishes for me were the ahi and caviar toast, cold corn soup, the lobster and the dessert. Sadly the portion of the toast here was about 1/2 the size of what we had at the cafe and unfortunately they didn't have uni for the night (maybe don't go on a Tuesday). Service was fantastic but they did have a few hiccups which were tolerable as the food was amazing. The wine pairing was also good and paired well with the dishes. As we are currently planning our trip back later this year, we will definitely head back to either the cafe (if the remodel is completed) or back to the counter for another meal. This is likely the best meal we've had in HNL in quite some time and highly recommend it.

    Miro Kaimuki - The Counter: An elegant, intimate experience that, sadly, left a lot to be desired…read more The service was great but I had a few qualms which influenced my decision of probably not returning. A couple things about Miro: - You have to pre-pay via OpenTable (unsure how it works if you call ahead), but just be aware you will be fronting the cost. Also, there are two seatings, one at 5pm, and one at 7:30pm. The 5pm seating is $165 per person and the 7:30pm seating is $195. I'm not sure if there is a menu difference but just know there is a difference in price depending on the time you choose. - Upon arrival you have to wait outside before being let inside. The restaurant locks the doors while they are in service, so if you are the 2nd seating (which is what we were) at 7:30pm, you will have to wait outside. Honestly my girlfriend and I were pretty confused as we've never had this experience before. We even tried to message/call the restaurant but didn't hear from them so we were close to leaving, but luckily some people were leaving from the earlier seating and let us know to wait outside and that the servers would let us in when the time comes. Now onto the most important part- the food. The menu was 6 courses (not including the bread). We got all of the add-ons and I also did the wine pairing. There wasn't any menu available but here's what I got based on photos: - First Course: 4 starters which reminded me of Bar Maze. This was probably the best course for me. I really wish I knew the names of each dish but it was an oyster, salmon tart, another tart (I think this was tomato or something), and ikura toast. All of it was super tasty. - Second Course: Ahi, Caviar, and Uni all on top of their special toasted bread. Now I am a big proponent of all three toppings, but the bread was so rich and dense, it overpowered all of the toppings. I felt the uni went best with the toast, but definitely not my favorite to start a meal so heavy. - Third Course: Almost like a bacon carbonara but without any pasta? It was kind of like a custard texture. It was good but felt a little out of place in the whole grand scheme of the tasting menu. - Bread: I don't count this as a course but we were served this beautiful baked bread with honey butter. Super yummy. - Fourth Course: Lobster - which, of course was tasty but not memorable for me. - Fifth Course: I can't remember if this was wagyu but this was also pretty good. Pretty small for an entree but the meat was cooked well and the presentation was very nice. - 6th Course: There were two desserts and one complimentary dessert for my birthday. The orange creamsicle dessert was the best one. My girlfriend and I didn't like the gummies as they were a bit too sour/savory for our taste (it was li hing flavored which isn't my favorite so I could be biased). The birthday dessert which was a dark chocolate cake thing- it was OK. The cocoa was a bit bitter and was a little too unsweet for our taste. Overall, I think Miro was just okay. For the cost of $195 per person + the wine pairing (which I believe was another $95), and the add-on's for both of us (~$60-70?) plus my girlfriends mocktail, this came out to a very steep $550+ dinner. I feel for 6 courses this is pretty overpriced, especially because the portions are super small and I don't feel the tasting menu was very cohesive. I would definitely rather go to NatuRe, Mugen, or Senia as they are relatively close (or at times cheaper) in price to Miro. Don't get me wrong, the ambiance was beautiful and intimate, and I think it's worth trying at least once if you want to splurge, but sadly this won't be a restaurant I return to regularly, if at all in the future.

    This place has amazing food, great views, excellent service, and delicious drinks but it has been…read moreCLOSED for months due to a pipe burst (?) or something.

    My bad review is entirely based on how terrible the food was. For context, we ordered Tonkatsu…read moreramen and Tsukemen dipping ramen. Ramen, according to the server, was the most popular thing on the menu, so how likely could it get messed up? Tonkatsu: Rich, but lacked any salt or had very little. We requested some salt and that instantly made the ramen better. The noodles had enough salt to carry it, but the broth was not great. It tasted like the broth was watered down or reconstituted, however no seasoning was added to re-adjust the broth. Broth: Had little salt and lacked punch, umami, and was brown instead of white. Noodles: Had enough salt to taste good, but was slightly overcooked Pork: Extremely bland. Tasted like zero salt was added during cooking. Toppings: Greatly lacking in toppings Tsukemen: The Tsukemen had a lot of the same issues. Now being a dipping ramen, the broth should be even richer and more flavorful than any normal ramen. Tsukemen -- no matter where you have it in Japan, should be richer and saltier than most broths, but the broth here was severely lacking. For $26 a bowl this was worse than your DIY frozen ramen packs. Now I'm not asking for Japan-level of ramen mastery here, this is after all, just a tourist spot -- but if your Tonkatsu is the best selling item, you have to step it up. Our server did mention that some people complained about the amount of salt in ramen, so they adjusted it. But dare I say, instead of diluting the normal salt/seasoning amount for everyone, couldn't you just add a separate, flavor-light version for people inexperienced with ramen, instead of diluting the original for everyone else? If you're reading this Mr. Morimoto, I would highly encourage you to fly here and order the ramen. I think you and I would share the same opinions. P.S. I've also been to your other Morimoto spots and it was not this bad.

    So glad we ate here! Looks like there are lots of hip options in Chinatown, and we would have…read morewalked around and tried even more if we had had more time. We had a 4 hour layover in Honolulu and it was a quick 15 minute Lyft ride here to Lucky Belly. We were the only party here right at 5:30 pm. Loved the art and clean simple elegance of the exposed brick wall and wood tables. We were greeted and served by a very friendly host. We had the duck tacos, plus the special dim sum appetizer combo of pork belly bao, lobster dumplings and oxtail dumplings. We could not pick a favorite. The variety of textures was fantastic and each of the meat fillings were perfectly seasoned and tender, delicious! Each had a different sauce- just enough, not too much. Nothing was spicy but there was chili oil on the table if you wanted to add more heat. We got 2 nonalcoholic spritzers, one lilikoi and one hibiscus, which were each refreshing and complimented the meal. Since the service was so efficient, after eating, we still had time to zip over to Magic Island to stroll around, take in the scene and enjoy the sunset before heading back to the airport. Our last evening in Hawaii was really special thanks to this delightful restaurant!

    Horrifying experience. We arrived to a nearly empty restaurant. The hostess asked if we had a…read morereservation. We arrived an hour or so before they were about to close. All of the window seats were empty. In fact the restaurant was nearly empty. We were told the only option for us was the inconspicuous booth at the back of the restaurant. Not a good start. The food was okay. There was more than we were expecting, however the short ribs were a little tough. The ambiance, it was nice and empty by the time we left. Overall, what had been something we'd been looking forward to for years turned out to be a dismal disappointment. The experience left us feeling unwelcome, particularly because it seemed the staff were uncomfortable with two men simply going out for lunch. Being a Black and Asian couple shouldn't have any bearing on how paying customers are treated, but unfortunately, that's how the experience felt to us. We can overlook mediocre food or service, but feeling judged or unwelcome is something we won't overlook. We were there as paying customers and deserved to be treated with the same courtesy and respect as anyone else. Unfortunately, this is a place we won't be returning to, and based on our experience, we would not recommend it to others.
