    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.

    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

    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.

Not impossible, but hard to find in Hawaii. And oh they were worth it. They were properly fried so they were done, but not over-fried. They were juicy instead of dried out. A little greasy, but not so much it was disgusting. If I had to share, it would be necessary to get two orders. I will definitely order from this location again and get the gizzards.

I uploaded this picture into chat gpt with the business explanation of the pinking in poultry and according to AI, "Pinking" can happen in cooked poultry -- but what you're showing in the photo does not look like harmless pinking. Here's the difference in plain language: Harmless "pinking" (still fully cooked) * Happens from smoking, high heat, or certain proteins. * The meat is fully opaque, firm, and cooked through. * Only the outer edge or near the bone looks pinkish. What your picture shows * The meat looks translucent, soft, and raw, especially near the joint. * There are dark, bloodlike areas around the bone. * The texture looks undercooked, not just color-changed from chemical reactions. Even with pinking, cooked chicken never looks glossy or raw in the center the way yours does. I decided not to go back to the counter because there was a language barrier and I felt the woman wasn't listening to me in the first place anyway. Threw pretty much all the food away and left hungry and down $20.

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!

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.

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.
