My girlfriend and I were invited by a band member to come down to The Edge to listen to music featuring a very talented female singer with a powerful voice with a very impressive resume from the mainland. Nayla was a back up singer to some very famous names in the music industry. It was a very fun and entertaining night in a small venue. We reserved a table for 8 and every table was taken. The music was good and there were a lot of Saint Louis Alums in the house supporting a fellow Alum performing in the band. Very fun night. The food that we and my girlfriend ordered was tasty but kinda on the small side. We had a tasty but small pizza and a plate of butterfish. It was OK for pupus, can't really complain because the entertainment was awesome. Don't know how often music is available but the venue is small so I recommend making reservations. Parking is ample across the street in the underground municipal parking, enter from Beretania read more

We decided to try The Edge before our show at Hawaii Theatre. We were pleasantly surprised! It's a cute little place but has a big vibe. Our server was great and very cheerful. The food was yummy and just what we wanted with our drinks and live music!! It was just a great time all around! read more

I wish more people working in downtown knew about this place! I came here for a work lunch on a Friday, and it was completely empty. It didn't seem like they were getting a lot of take out orders either. I got the pesto ahi that came with rice and a salad. The waiter was helpful and noted that the ahi is typically grilled rare and asked if we wanted to get it cooked through, which I ended up doing. The ahi was moist and a generous portion. The pesto topping was perfection! We shared a lemon cheesecake. This was so delicious, and I especially loved the crust that had walnut pieces inside. Service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be encouraging anyone in downtown to come here for a sit-down meal that is still causal. There's something for everyone on their menu. Food was reasonably priced ($25 for the ahi, $21 for burgers, $8 for cheesecake). read more

Came here for a company meeting and the food was fooding!! They prepared an array of food, starting with light pupu items for breakfast with pastries and fruits. Brunch was omg-kanank-attack-I-full-but-so-good-I-still-going-eat!! I know I have 2 servings and took home a plate! Props to the chef!! Service was nice and friendly from the staff and very accommodating! Definitely a spot to consider for office meetings with a meal, lots of street parking and paid parking areas near by. read more

Came here with a group for jazz performance and had a good time. I ordered the salmon salad, which was good, but the person next to me ordered the salmon. Next time I will order the salmon entrée as it had a smaller salad, but a larger piece of salmon. I asked for an old-fashioned, less sweet, and they delivered. Only critique would be the place is small, causing the music to be extra loud. read more

We came here for a department lunch and I can say that this was such a good experience! For a big party like ours we had a water dispenser for ease of access. The dishes came out by type and our waitress served drinks (other than water) efficiently. The wait staff was friendly and provided us with utensils and other amenities when asked. Bathrooms are easily accessible and clean! But most important of all the food was sooo good. I only got to snag a pic of my furikake chicken and my coworker's tonkatsu (pork katsu) dishes. The servings were generous and the plating was neat and clean. Would definitely come back here in my own for take out or to bring my fiancé! read more

If you are in DT Honolulu this is a must visit place for small bites and drinks. Ambiance is on the chill side and there is a god amount of seating. The service was great and I will touch base to that in the end. Food: We shared the Korean wings, furikake fries and onion rings. - Korean wings: flavor and crunch of the wings was amazing. Juicy wings with good flavor. - furikake fries: mouth watering amazing flavor and fries were perfect -onion wings: not over battered and so good to eat as you drink. My wife asked the bartender to make a margarita surprise and she came back with a li hing margarita w peach Tampico and it was so good Service itself was amazing as well, server was on top of it when it came to presence and being attentive. The bartender too was amazing. Highly recommend this place read more

Nice lunch! The salmon plate was fresh and delicious. Service was friendly and plenty of space for patrons.

Celebrating our Nation's birthday... The Edge At 31 North has some Hours of Operation that we had to work around. They're closed on Sundays. We called in advance to ask if they'd be open on the 4th of July of 2024 (Thursday) because metered street parking is free on holidays and Sundays in the Chinatown and Downtown areas of Honolulu. Yes! We arrived at the quiet, quaint restaurant for early lunch. Luckily we found parking nearby! Lysaandra was our competent, efficient, and knowledgeable server. She was wonderful... very personable and friendly! I got the Roasted Beet Salad. It was refreshing, beautiful, and healthy! We shared the Over the Edge Pizza, which was delicious! Look at the cheese pull photo! The mushrooms, prosciutto, onions, and bell peppers combined well with the mozzarella cheese and tomato base! We had a great time there! Thank you! read more

Food is wonderful. Good portions well done: katsu lighted breaded with panko and light and crispy without being dry inside. Good rice, the fries, the fish, everything was Ono. The waitress helpful in portion descriptions to help us order the right amount of food, served drinks and food quickly, say 20min or so. A live band was playing that evening of classic Hawaiian contemporary and customers got up and danced hula to some of these classics. It was a friendly mostly local crowd and we enjoyed the band, the staff and the other customers. We will definitely be back. Prices were also very reasonable. We live nearby so we could walk over but parking is in the street or the magna Kea municipal lot is just a block away. read more

Dining at the Edge... Wanting to take advantage of having the 4th off Nadine suggested dining in downtown and this place is located right on North Pauahi Street (hence the name) is right across the Smith-Beretania Park and this lovely place is in a quite lovely old structure which seems to share with a building that seems to be under construction and no there isn't any parking provided besides some street parking and paid lot right beside them we both were lucky to find parking just steps away was happy moment to start our day. Walking in the vibe is simple with several sturdy tables and a bar in the back and as we were here for lunch I wanted to keep it light and decided to have a salad..."Kale Noodle Salad" which was perfect as it came in a huge ramen bowl with greens topped with yummy Kale Soba and is topped with fresh grape tomatoes, carrots, avocado and slices of tofu. Dressing is a Soy Wasabi which was served on the side was a perfect pairing though the wasabi is definitely there and got me on the first few bites...whew!!! We also decided to share a pizza which is a personal pan size (maybe 8"?) and went "Over the Edge" lol that's the name as it's loaded with prosciutto, bell peppers, onion, mushroom and mozzarella the cheese pull was insane as it remained as I struggle to grab my phone to capture it oh the yummy bite as it was the perfect size to share and knew that Nadine had made the right choice. The single staff was delightful doing it all and even split our bill evenly which is going beyond what many places frown on. It was a nice quite lunch as we enjoyed our bites along with having a nice clean restroom, celebrating not just the 4th but their 1st Anniversary as well they are accepting canned foods in return for $1 off for each can ($2 max per entree) and will be donating it back to the community is a lovely generous offer to celebrate it all. Thank you! read more

Experience here averages 3.5 over time. Ambiance: 2 to 3 stars. NOT made for live music - too loud. Probably needs a few more drapes to soften the sound? Seating is crowded. Not sure where this goes - they now charge a cover charge when there's live music. (Only time we go.) cover is $5 for most bands but $10 for the band we went to see (Artistree). Not sure why. Service: 4 to 5 stars. The servers are friendly, patient, work hard all evening. Food. 3 to 5 stars. Regular menu is pretty good. My fav so far are the pork chops. A bit oily and not crisp on the outside, but very flavorful and juicy. I recommend ketchup instead of the gravy. (That's how I saw they were oily). Asked for the gravy on the side, tried it with the gravy and it was only ok. Asked for ketchup and it worked well. Hubby got the salmon and ate it all but raved more about my pork chop. Next time I will try one of the specials in the white board in the wall, because while I liked the food on the regular menu there wasn't something that really really hit the spot. The specials dos look interesting. Not sure how often they change. Oh! They sell cookies now $6.50 per bag. Located in a basket on the table to the left of the entrance in a basket. You can grab a bag and take it to your table and the server will add it to your tab. They are ok. Drinks: I think they are on the weak side. Tried their special old fashioned. Tasty but weak. I also always order my bourbon or whisky on the rocks, but they keep coming with water when I order a second drink. read more

Loved their Kale Noodle Salad Poke and Pork chops were also delicious. Service was excellent. We went on a night where it was sold out, but although the place was packed with people, it was still comfortable and everyone had a good time. There was room to dance in the courtyard outside. Parking is just across the street too. read more

Came for the live music at 4:30 today and stayed till closing. Rather extensive menu and more daily specials on the white board as you enter. The Mrs had miso butterfish, rice and a green salad while I enjoyed pesto covered mahi-mahi and a green salad. We also ordered and enjoyed their fresh ahi poke, kalbi platter, beet salad and a tray of edamame. We were seated quickly and glasses of ice cold water to follow. I asked for coffee and the friendly waitress said a fresh pot was being brewed . Our pupu and dinner orders were taken and the pupu came to our table very quickly. Our dinner plates arrived in reasonably good timing giving us ample time to settle down and unwind, enjoy the music , pick on our appetizers, talk story then enjoy our sumptuous dinners. We enjoyed a constant refill of our coffee by our pleasant and attentive waitress. The Edge has a nice quaint courtyard with a water fountain and inside there are long wooden tables and comfortable chairs. Nicely decorated and clean. Now that we discovered The Edge At 32 North the next time we go back it will be for the food then the music. read more

So glad we got to try The Edge. The parking gods were on my side as I got street parking a few feet away from the entrance. Had to pay just 1 hour because street parking free from 6pm. Others in our party parked in the lot right next to the Edge. While it's convenient, it was $5.00/hour. We ordered fried rice which was yummy, furukaki chicken....that was sooooooo good, pork belly that too was good. It came with guacamole on the side, rib eye, beet salad and the hamburger sliders. The burger was juicy and tasty. Definitely would order that again! We also ordered the old fashion and boy was that the best! If I didn't have to drive home I would have had more! There was a big party there and so it did get very very loud and it was hard to have conversations on our table but there are tables outside if things get too loud We will definitely be back! read more

New restaurant in downtown in the old HASR/Terry's Place location. There's a bar and dining area up front and I think there is either additional tables or a party room in the back behind the bar. Warning, it's noisy. When I was there on a Friday evening, it was less than half full, but the acoustics of the room make it so voices will carry. Especially voices of people that have been drinking. For the food, we ordered the rib eye steak, furikake chicken, onion rings, and white rice with furikake. Everything was... okay... but a little bit off. The rib eye says market price on the menu--first time I've ever encountered that. On this cold Friday in December 2023, the market price for a 12oz rib eye was $42. The steak was ok. It came with onions and mushrooms which should have been cooked a bit more. Those were barely cooked at all. It's a stylistic thing, but this entrée could benefit from being on a rectangular plate or platter, it looks off on a round plate. It is also thinner than I expected. I like my steak built like me, thicc (lol). The furikake chicken was a little off. Not sure what was up with the chicken, it had fatty/gristle type bits in it. The sauce was tasty though. The onion rings were unique. First time ever I've eaten onion rings that had absolutely no crunch to them. They were kind of soft and moist. Not bad, just unexpected. The rice was fine. They have a drink menu with mixed drinks. I like when places have this. The Alakea Mango Mui is a blended beverage that is refreshing and delicious. The service was excellent! They also have the usual suspects in beer. Overall, I think this was just an off night. I would visit this place again and probably try the salmon. read more

The Edge At 31 North - Ribeye "market price" was $42 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

The new restaurant occupying the former HASR space on North Pauahi Street is called The Edge at 31 North, referencing its street address at 31 North Pauahi Street. The entrance to the restaurant is through the courtyard. It is a perfect venue prior to a Hawaii Theatre show or pau hana happy hour with ample cocktail, beer and wine selections as well as menu items for dinner. They also have a lunch menu. There were only two people manning the bar and floor, and they were very friendly. They were taking orders, preparing drinks, cleaning and setting tables, providing water, etc so initially the service was on the slower side for our order to be taken and to hear the specials of the day. On this day there were ahi specials such as fillet, sandwich and poke. There is also ribeye steak (market), crispy pork belly ($16), burgers, salads, sides and other menu options, which are not particularly extensive, but should appeal to the palates of most. Once the order was placed, the food arrived surprisingly quickly. We ordered the furikake chicken ($16) which is a panko breaded chicken with kabayaki/mayo sauce. We were surprised at how large the portion was and thought that next time we could order this one plate for two of us. I ordered the misoyaki salmon, marinated over a 48 hour period. This dish was $25 and the fish was for the most part on the moist side. Both dishes came with a small side salad and some cole slaw cabbage. Keep in mind that these dishes are a la cart, so we had to order as a side white rice with furikake for $4 each. What was particularly impressive regarding ambiance was the sound level. The restaurant was busy, about 80% full, so everyone's voices were bouncing off the walls. It was very noisy and difficult to carry on a conversation with my companion, but we made the most of it and thought again that it was a good venue prior to a Hawaii Theater show. Parking can be a challenge but there are municipal parking lots or street parking nearby. Thankfully, there weren't any homeless people in the area at the time. Overall, I would not hesitate to return as it is a good downtown, pre-show venue with good food and friendly, hard-working staff. read more

Very nice employees, sort of limited menu but the two of us found entrees that we wanted to order and enjoyed. We sat outside shortly after their evening opening, and were the only ones outside, so it was nice and quiet, and in the shade of the building. read more

Atmosphere- Nice and Casual. Service- Quick, but there was only 2 other people in the restaurant. The waitress was really friendly. I like her style. Food- 2 of the items I wanted they were out of. Not a great start. I settled for The Edge Pizza and The Edge Old Fashioned. Both were really good. The pizza was just the right size for one person. The drink was strong, but tasty. I will definitely come back for the Ton Katsu. read more

Great place! The food was really good. We went on a Friday night and there was just our party of 4 and a table of 8 ladies, so not too busy. The front dining area has really bad acoustics so it was very difficult to have a conversation. We returned the next Friday to have dinner and listen to their live band (call ahead at least one week to reserve your table) we were placed behind a wall with no view of the band. Again the food and the service were great. read more

I would come here just for The Edge's Old Fashioned! So dangerous! Whatever Earl is pouring is so yummy and he knows how to marry the right flavors to smooth out the bitters. The Luxardo cherry makes me feel all high maka maka, but the special orange puts it over the top. "The orange?" you ask. "Really?" Yes, really. Go check um go check um go. Bumbai you see. 1st, ambience: super relaxing after a long week! Of course the courtyard is always a nice to see too! 2nd, service to me above even food is so impt. Service is great and they are super attentive. 3rd, food - awesome! Family style so bring your family/friends! Pork belly with guacamole is my fave. It's rich, but addicting!

My coworkers and I decided to try this place for lunch. We made reservations over the phone but it wasn't very busy when we went, which is a shame because the food is genuinely fantastic. I really hope more people start discovering this place. For my meal, I went with the salmon plate which comes with salad and rice. It was delicious! The salmon was cooked just right, flavorful and juicy. For dessert, I had the lemon cheesecake, and oh my, it was the best cheesecake I've ever had. Seriously, it was that good. They even offer a whole pan for $75 for events, which I think is totally worth it considering how amazing it tastes. I'm already excited to go back and try more of their dishes. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal, definitely give this place a try. I can't wait for my next visit! read more

A++ for service. A C or an A+ for ambiance depending on where you sit. Main indoor seating area could use a lot of acoustic treatment.

Absolutely loved The Edge! Its owned by the same people as Side Street Inn, and you can definitely tell because the food is very similar. We were there on a Friday, and they had a live band playing. We reserved the back room, where it was not as loud but we could still hear the band. We ordered family style, sharing dishes like the ribeye steak, furikake fries, edamame, fried chicken, etc. The portions were generous so it easy to share everything. Between the food, an atmosphere, and great service it was perfect for our group. read more

This is my second time here as a customer, and this is one of the best burgers I have ever had. The ambiance is nice with somewhat dim lighting, and a small lamp on each table.

Most dishes are served pupu style and are perfect for family style dining. Other popular dishes are the crispy pork belly and furikake chicken. read more
