The booking was very straightforward, they don't charge a space rental fee as long as your party spends at least $1000 on food and drinks altogether. It doesn't have to be on one check, as long as it all adds up. We were able to decorate the area a bit for the party. Of course if you plan on partying here be wary of making too much of a mess or damaging things. Kiki then helped me preorder all the food for the party, and she also assisted with the surprise. Ashley was our server for the night and she did amazing! I was bothering her and Kiki and asking them questions all night and they were so nice and patient the entire time. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, it was as if they were family friends :) the speed of service was great too. I know we put the bartenders to WERK but the drinks still came out in such a timely manner. Finally, the food and drinks were BOMB. I've only been here a couple times before this, so I got to try a lot of items i haven't before at the party. Everyone was raving about the food! So many people who haven't been to DB grill before said they found their new spot. And if you like to drink, they have something for everyone. My grandma kept asking for more soju cocktails . The only thing I would warn about is that the AC is poppin upstairs, so bring a jacket. I would give 10 stars if I could. We love the DB grill crew!!!

**DB Grill was a mixed experience for a get-together with friends.**…read more The food was actually pretty good overall. We tried the wings and poke nachos, and both were solid. The portions were good, the prices were decent, and it's the type of menu that works well for sharing with a group. Service was okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were efficient. Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

We got invited to dinner at Monkeypod Kitchen with a big group of friends and their families, and I…read morehave to say it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious -- very flavorful and surprisingly quick to come out considering the size of our group. Our server was amazing. She was so friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel welcome and special. She explained all the specials very well, and when a few menu items ran out, she was very apologetic and accommodating. I especially loved the rib eye and all the sides that came with the entrée. Everything was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Would definitely come back again.

Watching the train pass by!

It does come as a single link, but it's perfectly portioned for an average breakfast and leaves you feeling full and satisfied without being overly heavy. My husband ordered the country fried chicken and really enjoyed it. The portion size on his plate was especially generous. Of course, we had to try the pancake flight--it was delicious and just the right amount. I love having a variety without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: I ordered a regular drip coffee and found the price a bit steep $5, especially since it only includes one refill--so definitely be sure to ask for it to get your money's worth. Overall, this is a spot we'll absolutely keep coming back to!

Stopped in for a Loco Moco and left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a customer…read more I ordered at the counter and was never offered a place to sit -- despite plenty of open tables. When I was handed a bag and asked if I could eat in, one employee looked to the other, who replied "I guess" -- as if my staying was an imposition. I've been sitting here and haven't been offered so much as a glass of water. To top it off, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out with a fully hard yolk. A small detail, but it matters -- especially when the rest of the experience is already falling short. Hard to recommend when both the service and the food miss the mark.

The service was exceptional here! We chose to sit at the bar (perks of not having kids!) because the wait time was about 45 minutes for a table. We were immediately greeted by the bartender who served us with such detail and care the entire time. I forgot to snap pictures of the appetizers we ordered but my favorites are the Crab Won Ton, the stuffed Mushroom and the Reese's Peanut butter Cheesecake. Oh my! They do not take reservations so you will need your party to be present with you in order to put your name down for a table. Lots of parking spaces nearby. The only thing is that you may have to walk because of how crowded the mall can get especially Friday- Sunday.

We came here based on a suggestion from our hotel staff they said it was great "local food" we were…read moreinterested and saw that they had fried rice on their menu so we were excited to try it. The vibes are good with live music but the music is LOUD so be prepared you have to talk pretty loud to hear the people at your table. The gluten free menu is available but it is limited. The server was fantastic about answering questions and honestly she was the best part of the meal. I ordered the edamame and shrimp fried rice my mom ordered the Caesar salad. The portions are LARGE plenty for 3-4 people to split let alone two. Caesar salad was standard and good from what my mom told me. Edamame- I probably would not order this again. It was fine, but I didn't love the seasoning blend on it personally there are other things I would be interested in trying. Shrimp fried rice- I was really excited to try this and I was really hoping that it would be excellent and it was OK. The shrimp was cooked well and the fried rice just felt like it needed some more butter and it was lacking some of the things that make fried rice, fried rice like a fried egg so overall not my favorite dish. The gluten-free menu was pretty limited on options for me to try so I would probably go to somewhere else to try and get fried rice in the future.

I didn't even get a photo of them all there's a whole shelf that I missed with stuff that wasn't cold and custom boxes. Place was extremely clean well kept and organized. It was definitely nice that they had an outdoor area as well as an indoor area with the bar. Plenty of seating bring your friends. Was happy to sit with the manager and the bartender and chat! Place was great. We would absolutely come back again next time we are in the area.

My buddy and I stopped by here specifically to get their smash burgers, but unfortunately, the…read moregriddle was down, so no entrée items on the right side of the menu (sandwiches, burgers, sausages) were available. Our server informed us that it had been off and on for the past week, but went down since Friday. Not good for only being open for a year. They only had appetizers and salads, along with their bar, which offers a wide range of beers and wine by the glass, along with cocktails. Since we were technically "working", that had to wait for another time. Our server, Erin, was so nice and apologetic, even tho it wasn't her fault. For obvious reasons it was fairly slow, for a normal Sunday lunch crowd. Since we were pressed for time, we ended up just ordering a couple of appetizers; the sausage bites and chicken. They were both tempura style battered, and served with sauce or mustard on the side. The sausage had a slight spice to it, which was nice, and it was served piping hot pot of the fryer. A fork would've been nice, but they were small enough to eat by hand, but be careful, because they're pretty tough to bite thru. The chicken bites were smaller and easier to handle, although they were a bit dry, so the ranch furikake dipping sauce helped. We were out within 20 minutes, so very fast, and I'm hoping the griddle gets repaired soon, so I can try their burgers.

I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful. And yes, I had to order a side of rice--because you just gotta have rice with this kind of dish. Then came the real dilemma: Fish & Chips or the Wagyu Short Rib Loco Moco. The only logical solution? ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie

Important to note: You will need base access to access this place. You go through the guarded…read moregate (where you show your ID) and it will be on your right (follow the signs). Not an extensive food menu--Food is standard bar food. So think, corn dogs, fries, nachos, type food. Not bad, not 5-star gourmet food. There are a lot of TVs everywhere--in fact we went there specifically to watch the fight. TVs can be seen from almost anywhere in the establishment. Drinks--standard drink menu for a bar. :) Now, what I liked the BEST about this place was the kid friendly atmosphere, meaning, there is a huge open, mostly gated grassy area for kids to run and play. There's also a sandy volleyball area, basketball court, and pickleball court. It feels really safe.

Everything is open so you get the nice breeze and it's a relaxing vibe.

What's the best part about going to a bar/restaurant?…read more The company of course! But if you're lucky enough to get deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious bar food at happy hour prices, & great service from an attentive staff, BOOM! Easy "5 star" rating on Yelp! One of my childhood friends came home to da 808, so we decided to do a small get together at 808 Craft House, as the the bar/restaurant was close to the Aulani Hotel (where my friend was staying). The restaurant has an open air, causal atmosphere, with several TV's for sports events. I didn't look at the menu as I was too busy chatting away & catching up, but my friend did the ordering & got several plates of Frrrrrrried Chicken wings, pizzas, & onion rings. Of course at "808 Craft House" they are known for their craft beers, so many glasses of beers were ordered that afternoon. Unfortunately for me, I no longer can partake in alcohol, but those beers sure looked refreshing. I was totally surprised about the parking situation for this strip mall. Why do I say this? Unfortunately at this strip mall, there is NO FREE parking at all (not the restaurant's fault). You have to use your smart phone & scan the QR code to pay for parking if you choose to visit any business on this strip mall property. I ended up paying $16.20 for 3 hours parking. That was the only bummer thing about visiting this strip mall.
