    I haven't made up my mind about Honolulu's Chinatown in the evening. On one hand, the area has a cool, edgy vibe that attracts the hipsters to the stylish clubs, restaurants, and art galleries in the area. On the other, that same edginess exposes the unsavory activities you would expect in an area overtaken by homelessness. Tread carefully. Into this fold is this very chill bar with a large bar and a stage for live music. Waiting for our reservation at The Pig & The Lady nearby (review: https://yelp.to/4smFc1sm2H), Jamie W. and I happened to enter the premises when an excellent trio of young blues musicians were playing (photo: https://yelp.to/ukE_47ay_h). The brick walls and red lights added to the cozy coffeehouse ambiance even though it was quite spacious. Among several temptations, we decided on a couple of the $7.50 Miss Chinatown martinis. They were a sweetly potent mix of Smirnoff Citrus Vodka, homemade sweet & sour, and strawberry purée in a sugar-rimmed glass (photo: https://yelp.to/e_MO0ax2Jo). It was the type of tantalizing libation that Nancy Kwan would've sipped in "The World of Suzie Wong". Yes, a very chill place in downtown Honolulu. DRINKS - 4.5 stars...a sweet treat with a kick AMBIANCE - 5 stars...cool space with live music SERVICE - 4 stars...bartenders were buzzing TOTAL - 5 stars...sipping Miss Chinatown seemed fitting RELATED - Exploring Hawaii?

    I'll meet pizza, add jalapenos. Very tasty, and great taste.

    Stopped in at one of our go-to bars in Honolulu, bar 35. This is One of those places we kind of hate to brag about because we don't want it to get too popular so we don't have a seat at the bar anymore Gretchen is the perfect bartender, nice to chat it up with, and keeps an eye on your drink. We're always lucky to have her there when we stop in for a visit. The bar itself is fairly large with the small outdoor area in the back. Lots of nooks and crannies if you want to kind of be by yourself. Good happy hour menu and the beer selection although 95% of it is canned or bottled, is fantastic. Parking in the area with super easy, and if you park close to 6:00 p.m. you don't have to pay after 6:00 p.m. so your meter charge will be very negligible. We use the app to make the payment on the meter and it was super simple.

    Happy National Pizza Day!

    This place used to be at the top of my list. It still is, but after my last couple of visits, it's now sadly at the top of my Do Not Recommend list. Roll back the clock 10 years and this place was king! It was the place to go for pau hana and also late night shenanigans. I've had many good nights at Bar35 and remember it often having a long line to get it. Fast forward to 2024 and I feel it has achieved true dive bar status. This is very sad. I'm disappointed to see this and will not be back. I really don't know what went wrong here? Is it COVID that ruined them? Is it the lack of motivated staff, a problem that seems to be plaguing the service industry work force everywhere. Whatever it is, you won't find me in this shady area of downtown on a Friday night again.

    This was a fun bar. They were playing really good music. They had a range of ages, young and old. A nice eclectic group. I hear they have a number of events with different music. This night was R&B . They had a Large bar, high tables and a fun swing table area that we planted our party at. We had a great time here, we will be back.

    I went there for the first Friday during happy hour. We sat in the back area with colorful umbrellas giving us nice shades and gotta love the comfortable couches. The drinks were cheap and good, especially the lychee martini! The foods were very good as well. Also enjoyed the standard jazz they were playing. Bartenders and servers were friendly and the service was fast.

    Worst security guard ever

    Worst customer service ever. I presented my Drivers License and the door guard kept it asking for another ID. When I asked why he said there was something odd. He then got incredibly aggressive with other patrons saying that we were too close to his butt and he had a hundred things going on right now. Eventually his boss came and said there was no issue with my state issued drivers license. I will never visit this place again with this person working security. Pure incompetence.

    Bar35 is a whole vibe. I came in the on a Saturday night during Happy Hour and they offer amazing deals on drinks. I have yet to try their food but I definitely will next time. My favorite cocktail was Miss Chinatown. Shoutout to the bartender for being so sweet.

    Friendly and knowledgeable staff here to help you decide on their vast beer and drink selections. Look on the wall, and it's quite a selection of interesting canned/bottled beers. They even have beers on draft. Full bar. They have refurbished some areas inside and also out on their back patio. Their resident pizza owner has changed. New food menu. The pizza has a thicker crust vs. what they had before. They have a bouncer outside so make sure to have your ID on you.

    I can't tell you how many times I've been to Bar 35 and somehow it's escaped a review. I love this place and am glad to see it survived the pandemic relatively unchanged (if not better). Located in Chinatown on Hotel Street, it's a great stop on a pub crawl or exploration of the area. The bright sign beckons you in; friendly bouncers and staff are welcoming to sit down and stay a while. The inside is exposed brick, high ceilings, and is kept dark to enjoy the ambience and fun conversation with friends. I love these old buildings and how they've been repurposed for a modern crown. The main room has a long bar along the left wall with various seating arrangements on the left. At the back right are private booth areas for groups, I assume they take reservations for these for parties. Beyond that are numerous restrooms (most reserved for those identifying as women), then the kitchen and walkway to the best part - the outdoor seating area. Under the stars of Honolulu, you can enjoy the fresh night air in large shared couch areas, plus smaller two-seaters, standing room, and the outdoor bar top. They have a huge selection of beers; you can order anything you'd like indoor or outdoor. Plus mixed drinks and wine, there's something for everyone. On a recent visit before a show at the nearby Hawaii Theatre, we arrived in time for happy hour, which was even more reasonable then the regular prices (I feel this is the kind of place that wants you to stay and relax a while). The bartender was super friendly, offering us ice water to go with the ice cold beer. Other customers seemed equally happy. It feels great to get to enjoy town again; I look forward to another visit!

    Once upon a time when I worked in the financial district of Downtown Honolulu, my colleagues and I would go to the Chinatown area for happy hour (HH) and First Fridays. Those were the good old days where you'd hang out with your office mates winding down with adult happy juice. We'd usually patronize our favorite spots where Bar 35 was one of them. Located near the corner Smith Street and N Hotel Street makai side, Bar 35 has been in business since 2006 offering craft beers, cocktails, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches, and an array of appetizers. Recently, a, a friend suggested coming here for HH. I was off that evening and had been swamped at work so this was a great idea to wind down with some friends. Upon entry, you are carded immediately so have your ID ready. It was just before 5pm and still early, so we selected our seats. After studying the menu, I decided to get the Gyromatic Pizza and a Cucumber Cooler to wash it down. One of my friends came to Bar 35 just to document their outdoor patio with a bar adjacent to it. Above, they have a cool arrangement of colorful umbrellas. Inside, they also have multiple private rooms. We were advised their kitchen starts from 5pm so we used the waiting time sipping on our drinks and catching up. The next thing we know, our flatbread pizzas were delivered to our table. I was able to sample the Smokey Heaven (smoked salmon, cream cheese and capers), French Kiss (French brie, pesto and ham), Veggielicious (zucchini, olives and mushrooms) and the Gyromatic (lamb and beef Gyro meat, and tzatziki sauce). They were all good but clearly my favorite was what I selected, the Gyromatic. I'd order this again. I got the Cucumber Cooler (Smirnoff cucumber lime vodka, homemade sweet & sour and soda water) and just enjoyed it. This gave me a slight buzz where I found myself ordering another one as we had a designated driver that evening. Service was pretty good that evening. Our waitress was friendly but borderline rude. I was trying to take a photo where she intentionally stuck her body part into my photo, not once but twice. She may have been joking but this wasn't received well by me. This was shortly after we entered, and I sure wasn't going to make a scene so I let it go. Overall, a decent time having HH with some friends and I wouldn't hesitate to come back again. The usual parking pains in Chinatown but there are multiple municipal parking lots nearby as well as metered street parking. 2022 #25

    I haven't been to a club ish bar in such a while, but it was my first time here. I like how at a certain time, a dj got set up, and music started bumpin. The dance floor got filled up pretty quickly and it got packed. There was no entrance fee the night we came, and they had some pupus and drinks to order. Seating was very limited in the main entrance area due to it being turned into a dance floor, but there were private areas available and an outdoor area. It was pretty cool, and I wouldn't mind coming by again for an occasion.

    Been here for years for 2nd Saturdays Caribbean nights and now they have a new menu! (See pic) Yummy! Check it out. Their service and ambiance is still great like usual!

    Food menu (March 2020)

    I came here during their happy hour. Their food happy hour is Monday through Friday 5-6pm (1st Fridays not included) and Saturday 7-8pm which includes 25% off any 2 regular pizzas and 25% edamame & euro fries. Their drink happy hour is all night Monday, Tuesday through Friday 4-9pm, 1st Friday 4-8pm, and Saturdays 6-10pm and includes $3.75 Three Olives cocktails, $5 Hangar 1 martinis, $2 off $5-$7.50 bottled beers, and $3 off draft beers. This was one of the few bars that were still open (something about a global pandemic...) so I didn't really have a choice but to stop in here. Luckily it was during their happy hour! For drinks I ordered the cucumber cooler ($7.50 during HH) which was a refreshing drink with lots and lots of cucumber flavors. If that sounds like your kind of drink this is a good one for you. My second drink was the berry Asian ($7.50 during HH) which was definitely on the sweeter side and had a lot of sweet flavors. For food because of their 25% discount of 2 pizzas I ordered the sweet Bangkok and the deep forest pizzas. The sweet Bangkok pizza was something I've never had before! It has Chinese sausage (or lap cheung) on top and it's a pizza with a sweeter flavor profile but it is still really good. The deep forest was also good but I preferred the sweet Bangkok more. I was already pretty tipsy even before coming here and all I can remember is devouring these two pizzas like it was nobody's business. I also liked that the pizzas were thin crust! Overall this was a pretty good happy hour spot with good deals on food and drinks if you can navigate through all the special happy hour times. It's a lounge-y spot where you come with some friends and have fun until it's time to leave.

After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.

The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.

Located in the former Outback Steakhouse on Ala Moana Blvd., San Paulo serves classic American breakfast dishes like eggs benedicts and omelets, but also features a signature Brazilian breakfast as well as salads, sandwiches, and pastas. The restaurant is large and spacious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the slow cooked beef short rib eggs benedict, and it was delicious! I also enjoyed the pancakes which were cooked perfectly - fluffy with a crisp edge. The restaurant is perfect for large groups and can accommodate up to 140 guests. Validated parking is available in the structure for $5 for 4 hours.

    Not kid-friendly, rude hostess, bland marinara…read more I was staying near this restaurant on vacation with a 3 year old toddler. For anyone who doesn't have a 3 y.o., they can be very picky eaters. Since Sao Paolo was in walking distance, I called to ask if they serve a child's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which the girl on the phone confirmed. I reiterated that I was asking about a children's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which she confirmed. I asked a third time that it would be spaghetti and plain red sauce (nothing spicy, no meat bits, etc), and got a "yes." I placed an order, waited 15 minutes and walked down there to pick it up. The hostesses were friendly and I paid $18 (plus 10% tip) for the small bowl of pasta. They asked me how my day was going, and I joked that it would be better now, since I could finally give my kid his favorite "red spaghetti." I walked back to my hotel room to feed my child, but when I opened the container, I let out a loud frustrated sigh when I saw a bowl of penne and marinara, not spaghetti. Again, this is for a TODDLER, and my toddler only eats spaghetti, not penne. In frustration, I called Sao Paulo and explained the situation. When I told the young hostess (who obviously doesn't have children) that my toddler doesn't eat penne, he only eats spaghetti, she actually laughed at me on the phone, which I found to be very rude. I told her this is not funny, that I'm desperately trying to feed my picky toddler on vacation, and that I specifically asked for spaghetti - several times - on the phone. She said she would have to consult her manager, which I found odd, because honestly, we're talking about probably 50 cents worth of pasta to this restaurant, which I paid $18 for. That's a 3,500% profit. After putting me on hold for several minutes, the hostess told me they would give me another children's portion of actual spaghetti at no extra charge. That "no extra charge" part was emphasized to me, like they're making a great sacrifice by giving me another 50 cents worth of pasta. I also looked at their kids menu online while trying to resolve the situation, and it says "perfectly cooked pasta" with marinara, NOT penne, so I don't understand their problem here. If their kids menu had said "penne" specifically, I would understand how this was my mistake, not theirs. My wife volunteered to get the replacement spaghetti and marinara because she could tell I might not be very polite to the hostess for laughing at me on the phone. She came back with a second container of... PLAIN spaghetti with NO marinara sauce, which again, my toddler would not eat. Our only solution was to rub the penne on the spaghetti to get as much marinara on it as possible. (The things parents do for their kids...) My toddler then ate some. I would estimate there was probably 10 cents worth of marinara sauce on the penne. So Sao Paolo saved themselves 10 cents by giving me dry replacement spaghetti. While all this happened, my toddler had a 30 minute meltdown in our hotel room because his dada had promised him his favorite "red spaghetti" when I first placed the order, only to get screwed by Sao Paolo twice. I believe the manager at Sao Paulo gave us dry spaghetti on purpose as a sort of f-you to us. This was a very mean-spirited thing to do to a family traveling with a young child, even if we're just a bunch of stupid haole. It was definitely not keeping with the "aloha spirit." I would remind all employees at Sao Paolo that they are supposed to practice Kokua and Lokomaika'i, even to mainlanders. If you're a parent with a picky eater child, don't count on Sao Paolo restaurant to listen to you or care about your situation. They are actively rude to and dismissive of parents traveling with young children. They will act like giving you 50 cents worth of pasta is a big deal, even if their mistake caused the whole problem in the first place. BTW, I ate the "perfectly cooked" penne. It was overcooked and mushy (the pasta fell apart while I ate it), and the "house-made" marinara was bland. It tasted like canned Chef Boyardee.

Hoping that hand was significantly larger than mine...which it was, but pizza still only about 7"x9". I like the crust. Very light and airy which really surprised me. I just thought it would be dense to be able to hold everything up. Toppings go up to the edge so no blank space. I'm not a saucy person so think it was a bit much for me. I'm also not a huge red person. The pesto was good but not pesto-ey enough for me. The sauce also made the crust a smidge soggy...not a fan of soggy bread.

And a NY Pizza girl. And Tombstone cuz that's what Ma would make for us. And cold...I like my pizza cold. So take my review the way all reviews should be taken...an opinion. I'm going to stick the 4 pieces left in the fridge for 2 more meals ...

    Great place to get pizza and cannoli!…read more My boyfriend and I decided to stop by one Saturday night and was pleasantly satisfied with what we ordered. We got there before 8pm and they were sold out on a lot of the items, but still liked what we got! We ordered the Brooklyn Pizza (perfect for two!), which was made with fresh ingredients and was made to order. For dessert, we ordered the chocolate chip cannoli which has the right amount of sweetness and texture, a perfect ending to our meal. They have outdoor and indoor seating, and the service was warm and pleasant. I love the vibe on both areas, and we could see the wood-fire oven even in the indoor seat that we got. Good to know too that they're a vegan pizzeria, we'll definitely come back to try more of their pizza and salads. We found street parking but overheard that it's ok to park at the Hawaii Gas assigned parking on weekends only.

    After a full beach day, Floralia was exactly what we were craving. We grabbed takeout and ordered…read morethe vegan cheese pizza and the White pizza, and both were fantastic. The crust was beautifully done, crisp around the edges, chewy in the center, and full of flavor. The White pizza was probably my favorite, with creamy vegan cheeses and a richness that felt indulgent without being heavy. The vegan cheese pizza was simple in the best way and disappeared quickly. Our kids loved both pizzas, and there wasn't a slice left by the end of dinner. After a long day in the sun, it was the perfect meal to bring home and share together. We'll definitely be ordering again.

    I checked the app and saw that the next available pickup time was about an hour and a half away, so…read moreI scheduled my order before heading to the gym around 12:30 PM. About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order. There are only a few parking spaces directly in front of Bocconcino, so that's something to keep in mind. There's some tables under a covered area, right next to the store. Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

    Love the atmosphere of this place ...reminds me of being on the East Coast. Parking can be a pain…read morepoint and has stopped me from going a few times when the spots out front are full. In addition to food they have a small shop stocked with goodies from Italy, which adds to the charm. The pizza crust was fantastic crispy and delicious. My only complaint is that I wish it had more sauce. I'm a saucy gal! The bite that had a good amount of sauce was incredibly flavorful, but the rest of the slice was a bit dry, and I tasted more oil than tomato sauce. It was great dough but the flavor was not there for me. I really want to love this pizza more! The staff was friendly, though it took a little while to get my slice. They reheat each slice to order, and they were busy making other items, so it was understandable. I'll be back to try a panini!

    This restaurant provides excellent Italian food for an affordable price! I always pass by this…read morerestaurant but decided to try it with my family and wasn't disappointed. The menu selection is large ranging from pasta to pizza. They have a lot of different types and the appetizers were great as well. Restaurant is BYOB with a glass fee (3-5$ a glass I think) Parking lot outside gets full fast but there is street parking on the surrounding neighborhood just a short walk away.

    It was pretty good overall. We came here specifically for pasta, and this quaint little restaurant…read moreis located just a short distance from Waikiki. They also have a private parking lot, which is always a plus. Service was good, and they offer pizzas in addition to their pasta dishes. I ordered the Linguini Pink Scampi, which was quite tasty. The pasta was generously coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce, with several large shrimp nestled throughout. The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could have been better, but we'd definitely consider coming back again to try some of the other dishes.
