Private room - nice!
Nadine C.

Karaoke time in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... We all got a chance to try a place that's new to us! Bliss Lounge on Dillingham Boulevard was a pleasant change of atmosphere! The clean, convenient restrooms and free shared parking lot (with Soul Chicken, Hana Tea, Lox of Bagels, and Yohei Sushi) were much appreciated! We decided to sit in the private room (instead of the lounge with the stage). The friendly female worker thought that we could make the $100 room minimum easily. Yes! We ordered the Chicken Combo (honey Chicken, French Fries, shoyu chicken, and mandoo); pan-seared ribeye (with mushrooms and onions), three diet Cokes, and a pitcher of fresh strawberry soju. Everything was delicious! Mr. Park helped us with the sound system. He was polite and patient with our questions. He also encouraged us to return on a weekday when soju is half off! LOL! Note: songs were $2 each. Feed the bills into the machine. $20 bills are acceptable.

Karaoke, Friends and Chicken...our own KFC! Gathering at Bliss Lounge is the base behind Soul...literally as the storefront for Soul Chicken where you can find amazing fried chicken is made in Bliss Lounge which makes this a unique find. Along with Nadine, Peter and a friend arrived in the evening on a Saturday night and was surprised how empty it was a very spacious place with lots of bar top tables, a few booths and even a stage the vibe is a dark bar dive scene but was greeted by a sweet lady as I arrived a bit early. She showed me their private karaoke room in the back and it was nice and big enough to hold 8 adults with comfortable a/c light dimmer though an annoying disco ball that we couldn't figure out how to turn off lol! Yes we decided on the private room and it's free with minimum $100 food and drink purchase and songs are $2 each and make sure to ask for the English remote though with the device way up top entering songs was the real struggle of the night. We ordered Boneless Chicken Combo with Mandoo and Fries, Pan-seared ribeye Steak, and I had to get some Homemade real Fruit Soju (Strawberry) and this carnivore feast was delicious so bring your tribe and come hungry and the time limit for $100 feast in the private room is about 2hrs...depends on how busy they are we were told. They were very polite but just felt a bit condescending many times over the period we were there.

comfortable booths

This place is associated with Soul Chicken. Their fried chicken comes from here. Auntie and I stopped by Soul Chicken for lunch one day. They had a few tables on the outside. The really nice cashier asked if we wanted to sit inside in the A/C instead. We said ok. We were the first customers in there that day so she just turned on the A/C. Two other tables soon followed. It was nice on the inside and the booths were comfortable. They also have karaoke if you like to sing. This place must be busy at night. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom after eating the chicken. I was surprised at how clean it was.

Been enjoying the Korean fried chicken and gimmari sold here for many months now. Today I got to hang out a bit inside Bliss Lounge. The food is from the adjoining business "Soul Chicken" and deeeelicious! My favorites so far being the KFC and the gimmari. They also have mandoo, onion rings, french fries, pork belly with kim chee, pan seared ribeye steak, and more. Comfort bar food! Looking forward to trying more dishes. The inside is casual comfortable and set up for fun times with friends. There is karaoke available in their main lounge as well as their private room that seats "maximumish" 10 persons (Additional persons maybe able to fit but could get a little stuffy inside). Karaoke is priced at $2 per song so if you are planning to sing, bring your dollar bills for the machine! Located in the same strip mall as Lox of Bagels and Hana tea on Dillingham. Entrance is just across Chicken and Brisket. Hang out with friends, eat some yummie food, sing a little (good for the digestion! :-) Protip: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday nites many drinks half off or greatly discounted!

Wings were crispy and tasty, watermelon soju was on the thicker side with lots of real fruit. Great ambience and vibe here. Host was friendly and attentive.

We were looking for bliss chicken after buying mochi at a place nearby and was surprised it was a karaoke bar. Come to find out it's all the same owner and they serve the same chicken, but here you can get stronger drinks and the combo is a better deal. A very pleasant, helpful and funny woman greeted us and made recommendations, which we went with and were very happy. She suggested the combo for $39 and the strawberry soju, both great recommendations. Also told us all Korean drinks, such as the soju juice we paid $24 are half off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Definitely plan to come back then. It's karaoke/bar and interesting at about 1:30 pm, but liked the music.

We were missing our chicken and beer nights in Korea, so we we came to Soul Chicken (inside Bliss Lounge if the outside is closed).

The food brings me back to Korea, when we would have chicken and beer several hours after dinner. We took it to go, but maybe next time we'll stay to sing a song. Note:. Soul Chicken is inside Bliss Lounge after hours. So even if Soul Chicken is closed, u can still go inside the Karaoke bar.

Chicken combo! So crispy
Heejin Y.

Came over for a drink with some friends. We didn't have a reservation, but we were able to find big table. It is very pretty inside, the decor gave me old Korean bar vibes. I heard they serve Soul chicken!! My favorite. This is a fun hang out place, will definitely come back. Perfect for my golf friends gathering.

Outside Soul Chicken window to order. Drink options on the counter.

If it wasn't for the food or straight drinks this place would be a no go. It looks kinda divey at first glance but it is just unique. This bar is service by Soul Chicken on Dillingham. The food is sooo good. You can order from Soul chicken and eat your food at the Bliss bar with drinks from the bar. The bar also has their own menu with items that aren't on the Soul Chicken menu. Some of these are... pan-seared ribeye steak, Sausage trio, White kimchi pork belly. However we just ordered from soul Chicken and went in to have a few drinks with our meal. The waitress looked like a patron and couldn't make a margarita. My bad, its not that kind of bar. We settled for A bottle of yogurt soju. We've had this before and it went well with the sweet spicy boneless chicken- my go to chicken, Gimmari-one of my faves, and the chicken salad-very different. Their delicious fried boneless chicken that is stupendously lightly battered, on top a bed of chopped romain, chopped colored peppers and sliced cucumbers, served with honey mustard. I didn't like the peppers but everything else was amazing. We drank our whole bottle shoyu and opted to try a pitcher of housemade strawberry shoyu- the flavor was delicious. It was made with fresh strawberries. However the bottled one had more alcohol potency. We were entertained by football and K-pop playing on the tv's. They do have a couple of dart boards and the bartenders is friendly. I'd go bac again if in the area. Just don't expect any mixed drinks LOL. Oh yeah they do have one enter neutral restroom that when you go in has one stall. The only catch is the outer door doesn't lock so you could be in the stall and a man can pop into the outer part of the restroom. Lucky for me the bar was empty but hey just saying. And the parking lot is big and free parking, hard to find out in Honolulu.

Itchy Butt is right in my neighborhood, so parking doesn't necessarily affect me personally,…read morealthough it can be a little difficult to find a spot. That said, this place is definitely a hidden gem worth checking out! It has those cool, old-school mom-and-pop vibes that make it feel welcoming and unique. There's no indoor seating available, but there's a community park directly across the street with picnic tables and plenty of grassy space to lay down a towel and enjoy your meal outdoors. The Korean fried chicken is our family's **GO-TO**, and personally, their chicken curry just hits the spot on a cold, rainy night. The portions are generous, and the prices are great for what you get, making it an awesome spot for a satisfying meal without breaking the bank. If you're in the area and happen to see that parking lot relatively open, take it as your sign to stop by and give them a try! Supporting local mom-and-pop businesses like this is always a win. Definitely a neighborhood favorite!

It's a small business and I respect that. I have heard about it for years now and after these…read morehurricanes and such I wasn't in the mood to cook. So I decided why not try something and also help a local small business. I went off peak which was perfect. I called in the order and got there to pick it up. Came home and opened the box up. Garlic fried chicken (I bought the $2 hot spicy sauce on the side to dip), I ordered the spicy pork on rice. All this came with 2 cans of juice or soda and a small container or pickled radish. I tried the chicken and it was crispy. The garlic flavor was so strong. I love garlic but this was way too much in my opinion. I mean, yes, you will smell like garlic for a week after you eat this. lol. I love garlic and don't get me wrong, but I think so much garlic made it a bit hard to digest. The spicy sauce wasn't as flavorful as it looks. The radish was a better fix and the spicy pork was ok. I tried to add salt to the chicken for I found it rather bland even with all the garlic. Maybe that's a suggestion to salt the chicken (?) but then again who am I to say a thing. They have been in business for a while and I asked the clever name of the business and it was the youngest family member who was given the task to choose a name for the business and that's what stuck. I think it was quite clever. Even if you don't go you'll forever remember the name. If you absolutely can tolerate a ton of garlic, you will absolutely love it here. I have no stomach for so much but it's a cute small place and the people are nice and friendly. The food didn't fit my taste, but I'm not everyone so try yourself!

Bo's Kitchen is a mom-and-pop Cantonese restaurant with other Asian favorites like laksa,…read morejajangmyeon, and Japanese curry, to name a few. This is my first time trying their food, and I have a lot of positive thoughts regarding their dishes. Their beef brisket noodle was one of my all-time favorites compared to other locations, because they are generous with the amount of brisket they give you and they use egg noodles by default. Their soup was okay, but the braised and marinated meat was definitely the highlight of this dish. Overall, a great late night evening option in town for Cantonese comfort food, even among those coming from China; I think that speaks volumes about the authenticity of their food and quality. Highly recommend and would love to return to try their laksa in the future.

It was actually minced. The brisket was tasty and tender. If you don't know what to get from here, get this. The wonton noodles with brisket. I appreciate that they separated the broth from the noodles. Who wants to eat soggy noodles?

I wonder? Will they boot you off? Been going to side Street Inn since it was only one single side street inn and chef Colin was in the kitchen on the table at the dishwashing station, he did everything. Today, you have different people doing different things and the staff on the floor? Well, they know they have a good thing going.

I don't know,,,) on island. It's fun and yum! Our family and friends decided to go dinner last minutes before they are closed. And had a great last dinner here! Mahalo for 13years!!!!

It wasn't bad, just nothing to write home about. Here is the breakdown of what we ordered: ~ Spicy Garlic Plate (comes with 5 pieces of wings, salad, and rice: Between the two flavors of wings we tried, this was the clear winner. Good heat and solid flavor profile. ~ Honey Shoyu (Soy) Wings: Needs a lot more punch. It was lacking distinct honey and soy flavor - everything tasted muted and very subtle compared to what you'd expect from a signature glaze. ~ Bulgogi Kimbap: Unfortunately, this did not taste fresh. The rice had that firm, dry bite that usually means it has been sitting in a refrigerator rather than rolled fresh to order. Service was surprisingly sluggish. We were the only table in the dining room, yet we still had to flag down the server multiple times just to get water refills and extra napkins. Decent crunch on the chicken, but given the muted sauces, stale kimbap, and slow attention, there are better spots to get your Korean fried chicken fix around town.

They were so delicious that I ended up eating two! Haha. The crispy fried chicken was generously coated with flavorful sauce, and the combination of the crunchy texture and seasoning was fantastic. What impressed me most was the sauce. Korean-style fried chicken sauces can sometimes be overly sweet, salty, or intense, but Soul Chicken's sauces were perfectly balanced while still being full of flavor. The Honey Garlic flavor was delicious, with a lovely combination of sweetness and a subtle garlic aroma. The Korean-style sauce was also flavorful without being too strong, which made it especially appealing. Both flavors had their own unique charm, so it was hard to choose just one. Most of all, I kept thinking about how delicious they were throughout the meal. The fact that I ended up eating two sandwiches instead of one really shows how good they were! Haha. It had been a while since I enjoyed a chicken sandwich this much. I'm sure I'll be coming back whenever I crave one. I highly recommend Soul Chicken to anyone looking for a delicious chicken sandwich!
