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!

Wednesday Special as of November 2025

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!

Interesting cuisine...Peruvian Japanese food. Food was good but service was slow and they were out of some of the dishes we wanted like the Ahi Pizza and Lobster Linguine. However, I did enjoy our meal. The Samoan crab was divine and the cauliflower salad was light and refreshing. The Ahi Nigiri was melt-your-mouth goodness. I don't eat meat so I did not partake of the pork dish and karaage but my friends raved about them. The ambience was great, it was a perfect way to celebrate my dear sister's birthday. Toward the end, though, we were rushed which cost stars. The remaining food items and our 3rd (or was it 4th LOL) round of drinks (BTW their mixed drinks were on-point!) took a long time to come out as they were turning over the restaurant into their club. So we finished our drinks and the last of our meal standing up. I went to the bar for some change but they did not have any available because they were in the middle of changing over into the club. We were asked to leave and stand in line to re-enter in the club line. As dinner patrons I felt we should have been able to remain inside but what do I know. I haven't been clubbing in a long time. Will I be back? Yes, the reviews for brunch and lunch have piqued my interest!

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 :)

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.

House salad
Andrea M.

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.

Went here on a Thursday night which was more like a Friday because Friday is an observed holiday…read morefor us, around 7:45pm and was expecting it to be super busy but luckily for us, it wasn't. We walked in and the hostess was super sweet. She informed us that they were wiping down a table and we got seated within 10 minutes. It was our first time here and we've both heard and saw good things but we asked for extra time to look over the menu and our server was patient and gave us more time and offered some recommendations as well. We chose a handful of small plates and the softshell crab pasta with all the extra stuff and it was the perfect amount of food for us. We were more wanting drinks and pupus so our selections fit that but I'm sure if we wanted an actual dinner, we would have also be satisfied with the offerings they have. My only complaint about our overall meal is that the cocktails didn't complement the food. The drinks on its own were good and the food on its own was good, very good but together, bleh. The bone marrow had a slight sweetness to it that I didn't care for too much but it wasn't horrible and it was cooked perfectly, not over done including the crostini's. The octopus was cooked good (I would prefer it be a little softer) but still very enjoyable and the flavors were really good. The pasta and soft shell, cooked perfectly and flavors on point. So much so that I need the recipe so I can add this dish into my dinner rotation! The decor is nice.. when we first walked in, I thought we were gonna get a table right by the door, along the window, and I didn't want that, but we ended up getting a table closer to the bathroom (I think it was the bathroom?) and I liked that area. The area by the bathroom gives off chill, classy vibes, but the other area was giving me, fast food, sit down area vibes.

From the warmest hospitality to the best food we had in Honolulu, XO completely exceeded our expectations. We only wish we had a restaurant like this back home in Chicago. Every dish was memorable. The Hamachi Crudo was the best we had on the island, fresh, vibrant, and perfectly citrusy balanced. The fried chicken absolutely lived up to the hype and then some. My personal favorite was the perfectly seared scallop with crusted shrimp, an unforgettable combination. My husband and I also decided to add the salmon, and we were so glad we did. Every bite was plump, fresh, and beautifully blackened. What truly blew us away was the value. We've been fortunate enough to dine at Alinea and EL Ideas in Chicago, and XO reminded us of what those restaurants might have inspired at a fraction of the price. The level of creativity, execution, and care that goes into every plate is extraordinary, yet the experience is incredibly approachable. We left completely satisfied, already talking about when we could come back. One bonus, if it's your thing! It's currently BYOB while awaiting their liquor license renewal in August, so if you enjoy pairing your own wine or drinks with dinner, take advantage of it while you can. And do not even think about skipping dessert. The Brown Butter Bunny Mochi was the single best sweet bite of our entire trip, even edging out the delicious malasadas we raved about all week. Whether you take an Uber, rent a car, or make the short drive from Waikīkī, it's worth every minute. This is the kind of place locals should be proud of and visitors will never forget. If you want to eat like a local while treating yourself to one of the best meals on the island, XO is the place. Just go!

Morimoto Asia Waikiki was the perfect way to end my Hawaii trip, and it absolutely delivered. I…read moremade a reservation for a tuesday at 5:30 PM, and it wasn't busy at all -- which made for a relaxed, enjoyable experience and easy conversation. I was seated on the lanai with a beautiful ocean view and had the privilege of watching the sunset while dining, which truly elevated the entire evening. Sky and Ke-Von took exceptional care of me -- both were incredibly friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. My sparkling water was constantly refilled, service was prompt, and I never once felt rushed or overlooked. Dining solo felt completely comfortable and not awkward at all, which I really appreciated. I started with the lilikoi mocktail with tequila added, which was refreshing and well balanced. The hamachi tacos featured extremely fresh fish -- clean, high quality, and delicious, though I felt it could have used a bit more "oomph," but still very enjoyable. The sticky ribs, however, were absolutely phenomenal. Perfectly seasoned, unbelievably moist, and falling off the bone -- I was genuinely blown away and in disbelief at how good they were. Easily one of the standout dishes of the night. I ordered the hot and sour soup as a palate cleanser and to help with digestion, and it was excellent -- flavorful with a satisfying burn. The highlight of the entire meal was the A5 Ishiyaki Wagyu (3 oz). You're served 4-5 pieces; the first slice is cooked for you, and you cook the rest yourself (about 15-30 seconds). It's accompanied by chimichurri, sea salt, sweet ginger soy, and ponzu, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Mine was A5 Miyazaki, Japan (Quality Grade 5) -- the real deal. I truly thought I'd had great Wagyu before, but this completely blew me out of the water. The richness, texture, and flavor were unreal, and it paired beautifully with the sweet ginger soy. Absolutely worth the splurge. For dessert, I ordered the malasadas (5 pcs) served with bananas foster and whipped cream. They were unbelievably light, fluffy, and served fresh -- perfectly sweet without being overly sugary or bitter. An absolutely delightful dessert and a flawless way to end the meal. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Beautiful ambiance, excellent service, world-class food, and a stunning lanai sunset view. I highly recommend making a reservation, as I hear it books up quickly. If you go, don't miss the sticky ribs, malasadas, and Wagyu. I was looking to end my Hawaii trip with a bang, and Morimoto Asia Waikiki exceeded every expectation. I'll definitely be back soon.

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.

Chicken and beet salads were also cool and refreshing, with the layered goat cheese and beet terrines being a nice touch. Karaage chicken on the salads was also nicely cooked and moist. The wafu stake was tasty and tender and with a side of rice it made a complete meal (well, no veggies, but...). Parking is available nearby at the lot on the corner of Smith and Pauahi or the underground lot with an entrance on Beretania near Nu'uanu.
