    signature fried rice
    Jen C.

    Celebrated my birthday here this past weekend and it's always a fun time here, the vibe here is great and the food is perfect for family style sharing. Make sure to make a reservation as this place is packed. We ordered the Farmers salad, signature fried rice, pork chops, garlic chicken and the peanut butter crunch dessert to share. Everything was really good, service was great, food came out hot and quick. They valet park for $8 and with all the rain we've been having it was well worth it. Great place to come with groups!

    Great place to eat with a big group of people. Their serving size is pretty ginormous and the cost is pretty economical for Hawaii. Everything we eat was delicious. My favorite was the sizzling kalbi, the pork chops, roast pork poke, and the signature fried rice. Service was very friendly and food came out really quickly. They only have valet parking, which works out perfect perfectly since parking is always hard to find. Nothing fancy just great food.

    So my trip back home to my Roots and 808. Few staples that always look forward to few times make it back home. Most of them really locals know not tourist spots and trademarks local food. One of them always being Side Street Inn. It been over ten years last time home now tow more locations. The one went with Ohana believe second one. I like about this one easier find and parking access better. It more open area much different vibe then the first one. I meet Ohana for end of Happy Hour. The Happy Hour menu is pretty awesome. Most of the popular items on it and say over half the menu. Just smaller portions slightly cheaper price point. The pork chop had get regular size cause so fwk good. So simple pan seared pork chop but perfection. Never had one golden crisp outside and moist but cooked perfect. U dip it in ketchup. I could have it everyday. Lucky three of us. I got try few more items. Fried rice, spicy ahi poke, garlic fries, and garlic chicken. Spicy ahi poke was so fresh and nothing better than poke back in the islands. Garlic chicken another dish known for awesome. I enjoy about Side Street Inn concept family style plates. Pork chop OMG. Love Side Street Inn! One off list tradition back in 808.

    The portions here are GINORMOUS. This is a family style local food restaurant and highly recommend coming with friends/family because the portions are so large, especially if you want to try different dishes. We got the fried rice and garlic fried chicken as they were popular. The garlic chicken was delicious! The flavor was savory with a hint of sweetness (slight fish sauce flavor). The chicken was nice and crispy as well.

    Elevated local style foods in a comfortable updated atmosphere. We had friends visiting from Belgium and wanted to give them a taste of the local flavors. The 5 of us came in on a Monday night. We had the prix fixe menu for $167 (serves 4-5 guests), and the portions were massive. Definitely family-style dining! Everything came out hot, timely, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. Honestly, the prix 4-5 menu could've fed 6-7 people easily. Although we did add the Roast Pork Poke to the order. The famous pan-fried pork chops lived up its long standing reputation . Crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. The pieces with the bone are pure gold!! The roast pork poke was another standout. Tender, rich and awe man sooo satisfying!! Our Belgium friends couldn't get enough. The shoyu citrus vinaigrette added a bright acidity that cut through the beautiful richness of the pork. The kalbi had great char and tenderness, though a bit on the sweet side for my taste. The kimchi fried rice hit the spot with a nice kimchi flavor that was not overpowering and easily enough to feed 7-8 people. The fried chicken could've been a touch crispier, but still packed good flavor. Service was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and quick. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed, ideal for groups or watching sports with plenty of big TVs. Our long table for five was a bit worn and could use some refinishing, but overall, this was a delicious, satisfying experience. Generous portions, great flavors, and a fun local vibe. Would definitely return with friends or family. Happy Eating!!

    Made reservation two days before by calling. Valet parking $8 in the garage. This place a great for big parties as they can accomodate the number of people and the serving is huge. There were six of us and we ordered the "Chef Colins classics" for 4-5 and had more than enough to take home. We also added suateed mushrooms which was so delicous and also fried gizards(amazing). Everything was goood fried rice,pork chops,garlic chicken and kalbi. Just FYI soda is not refillable. Our server was okay maybe she was busy but she didn't really check on us and we had to ask for water refills. Overall experience was great.

    We came here a few day ago with some out of town friends. We went with their set meal plus some additional items. I like this location as they have a lot of free parking after six pm. Unfortunately, they will be relocating to someplace that is still in the works. The food was good. My favorites were the chicken and fried rice. Service was good and food came out fast. The place is always packed. Can't wait to see where they will locate or I will just have to go to their other location by Ala Moana.

    It's a great place to get a big group and come and eat. Have a drink. Such a loud fun vibe in here. Garlic chicken and fried rice is a deadly combo. Mushrooms hit the spot too. The peanut butter crunch dessert was just the best way to end the meal. Service was good, parking is valet only so be prepared for that and call Ahead for reservations it's easier.

    Garlic Fried Chicken
    Deja G.

    Had to try the infamous boneless Galbi and it did not disappoint! It didn't come as hot as I thought it would be given that it was served of a steaming skillet but I was still very pleased with the flavor and tenderness. I also got the garlic fried chicken. It was a giant potion which was great and it was packed with flavor. It's like the garlic sauce was injected into the chicken instead of sitting on top or tossed in the sauce, so it still had a nice crispy bite. this was one of my favorite places on my trip and I can't wait to return when I visit Oahu again. I had Little to no wait for my table and the service itself was subpar, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt because it was a during a busy dinner rush. As for parking, they offer valet underneath in the parking garage or you can park across the way in the parking lot where it is a few dollars cheaper. Also, when looking for the building, don't look for a traditional restaurant because you won't find it lol it's actually inside of an older office like building.

    I have been wanting to go here for awhile but I noticed the portions are fairly large so going there with just two people is going to be challenge to order more than one plate unless you have a refrigerator for leftovers. We landed in Hawaii late afternoon and headed over to this location for dinner with a group of six of us which was large enough to order the Family Meal for 4 - 5 people. It is really enough for 6 - 7 hungry people. Our top favorites were the Boneless Kalbi, Pork Chop, Farmers Salad and Edamame. We also had Fried Chicken and the Fried Rice. The Kalbi was tender, juicy, excellent flavor, nice grill taste and cooked perfectly. The pork chops were excellent, a little thicker than most, tender, moist, great seasoning, breaded and fried nicely. The salad was refreshing with a very nice vinaigrette dressing that was had a very smooth flavor, not overpowered with vinegar, noting a citrus taste. Edamame were big, fresh, tender and great flavor. Fried Chicken was good and fried just right with a sauce, very rich dish but good. Fried Rice with the char sui, bacon, peas, carrots and green onions was yummy. Excellent and attentive service, food came out fast, fresh and hot. Parking is Valet only underneath the building, not much in the way of street parking. Overall just an excellent meal across the board. We loved all of the dishes. Very happy we finally had a group large enough to tackle the large servings and get a variety of dishes to try. Definitely going back. We noticed they have Lunch Dishes To-Go only for one person.

    It's been more than 8 years since I've been to this location, but the food and service is as good as it's always been. My SIL's brother and wife were visiting from our of state and the family wanted to all get together. We had a table of more than 10 people, plus one toddler, and we were just 1 of several large groups enjoying lunch at that time. We ordered the usual favorites of Chinese Chicken salad, garlic Chicken, fried pork chops, gyoza, pork belly, Kalbi, and fried rice. Servings are very large and designed for family style dining. It was a steady stream of food with enough at the end for leftovers. The service was quick and very helpful; they even helped us take family photos. SSI is definitely a great place for lunch and dinner, especially if you have group gatherings.

    Big eats when you order a Collin's classic for 4-5 people. We had 10 adults and still had leftovers. We did order a garlic chicken and a roast pork poke and that did not disappoint. The cocktails were plentiful too. Everything was delicious. The edamame was warm with butter and garlic for an extra $2. We added kimchee to the fried rice for an extra $4. Everything was delicious. The only thing was the pork chop Was dry hence the 4 stars. We still will be back.

    Fresh Poke*, Sashimi* and Fresh Catch of the Day*
    Denzell S.

    Such a staple whenever I visit Oahu. The portions are huge and great for large families. Wait can be awhile but I recommend making a reservation by emailing them and you get seated quickly. Just note that they only offer valet parking during dinner. My families go to orders are their -Signature Garlic Chicken -Signature Fried Rice -Sizzling Kal Bi -Pan Fried Pork Chops -Poke -Yakisoba Honestly their food is so comforting and delicious that we keep coming back for more.

We were seated relatively quickly, outside, at a long picnic table. No problems there. But then... Our server (Andrew, I think that's his name...it was on the receipt but we literally never saw him after he took our order and then brought the bill), really didn't want any small talk at all. He seemed a bit annoyed when my fiancé asked about their own brews....almost like it would've been easier for him to just order Coors or something. You're a brewing company...people are going to have questions. All 4 of us ordered something different- Sicilian pepperoni pizza, some type of burger, pulled pork loaded fries, and a macadamia nut chicken salad. Food was average...you can tell they cater to tourists.. Our server never checked on us. He took our order, a runner brought the food out, and the next time he came to the table was with a bill. I actually had to flag down another service so we could cash out. I have so much respect for people working in the service industry. It's a hard job. You deal with people all the time and some of them are downright jerks. We weren't jerks. We were regular, nice customers. It takes a lot for me to not tip anywhere between 20-25%. Sadly, this was one of those times. 2 stars
