    Braised Beef with Mashed Potatoes made to order and delicious beyond words. Five stars for the kitchen too!
    Paul K.

    The TV Monitors/ screens are perfect for watching the games in the fights, the staff are like Ohana, the food is onoliciously delicious and amazing selections of foods, they are always fun to play and they have a jukebox with almost infinite songs must be connected to the Internet. The pool tables are well kept and fun to play on too, as well as the dart boards!!!

    First off, huge CON: Parking! Tiny lot and maybe about 8 stalls for such a popular place of it's size... Other than that, nice chill spot with good grinds and of course, DRANKZ! They have pool tables, darts and big TV screens. Pool and darts weren't being played though, probably covid restrictions. I just wanted a place to chill and drink nearby, this spot serves it's purpose well. They have daily specials. On the day of our visit I was looking forward to saimin, but they ran out. So, go early I guess. The drinking cut off time was 10pm BOO. All cups needed to be taken away around 9:58pm. I was not happy about that, but if you can tank it, go for it! We ordered steak, seared ahi and fries. All were really good and with our drinks, the tab was reasonable. We were able to get to-go boxes for our unfinished food, too bad no to-go cups lol. I called before we arrived to make sure there was room for us. We were secluded in our own area with bar table seating. We were still well tended to and close to the bathroom. I look forward to having another visit, hopefully with more time to drink tho...

    Garlic chicken

    10/10 can't wait to go back! What a hidden gem! Right next to Toma's karaoke, don't miss the entrance to the parking lot right by the dumpsters or you will have to go around the block since it's a one way street! Or you can always find street parking nearby since the parking lot is a bit cramped. Don't be misled by the menu that says 5-10pm, they serve food til 11pm! I was very impressed with the taste, price, and can't wait to go back to try more things! There is also a specials menu on the wall and from that we tried the kimchi fried rice (it was ok, not amazing) and the margherita pizza (pretty good, pesto sauce base, I think it's the same as the pesto pizza on the menu). The main big hitters were the loaded tots (very good portion for the price, lots of toppings and made fresh to order) and the garlic mushroom pizza (yum, lots of mushroom flavor). We also go the the garlic fried chicken which was more salty than we were hoping for, but the texture was fantastic, mochiko-like and the portion size was incredible! The garlic steak was also recommended and the guys liked it (I'm not a huge steak fan, so I just ate some of the garlic sauce with the rice and mac salad. Friends said the mac salad tasted just ok). Everything is served in to go containers, so if you don't finish it, it's easy to take to go! It's a bit loud inside, so since I want my parents to try the food, I will get it to go for them! Can't wait to come back to try more of their options!

    Crispy Pork Plate Special
    Chelsea S.

    I came here to take my friend to dinner since it was nearby. We came around on a Thursday at 6:00-6:30PM. They are located off of South Beretania, a little after the intersection once you pass Teddy's Bigger Burger (which is on the right side of the street), on the left side. The driveway is small so its easy to miss - drive slow! It wasn't very busy at the time we came, so we were seated very quickly. All of the workers were very nice and welcoming. We ordered the Loaded Nachos (since it was the special for Thursday) and the special Crispy Pork plate. We got the Crispy Pork first. It was their take on a crispy pork plate with a lechon-kawali kind of twist. It was served with rice, mac salad, and a topping of tomatoes and onions. While I appreciated the unique crispy, deep fried take on the pork, the pieces they used were a hit or miss - fat or no fat, basically. It was also just a tad bit too salty for me. My friend's first comment was that it was too salty for her. The sauce they used was very vingeary. Like the salt, it was a little bit too much vinegar to the point of masking all other flavors the pork had left to offer. The mac salad had a lot of mayonnaise, which isn't a bad thing but I prefer a lighter salad. The Loaded Nachos was on special for $5 that day. It had a good formula going - chips stacked with cheese, sour cream, ground beef, sour cream, olives, jalapeños, and a salsa fresca (tomatoes, onions, cilantro mix). It was okay. I would have loved to eaten more kitchen-made elements of this dish rather than canned, store bought ingredients, such as the chips, jalapeños, cheese. Prices are good. Its reasonable for a sports bar. But not sure if the quality justified the prices. Also, not sure if the Loaded Nachos are always that size or maybe because it was the special that day but it was pretty small, fitting on a standard circular styrofoam plate, only worth $5, and I wouldn't pay more. The Crispy Pork Plate was $10 and based off of quantity, it is justified but taste wise, (both hands in air shrugging emoji). Hopeful that we just ordered the wrong items and that there are other menu items they specialize in. I read a lot of good reviews so I do believe they have better things to offer. Just a little disappointed in our experience because this was the first dinner I took my friend from the mainland to and she did not like it. However, we really appreciate the great customer service and friendliness of our server.

    Pitcher of beer ~6 beers (this one was already partially poured)

    This place sets out to be a divey sports bar and it accomplishes exactly that. Nice staff, good and cheap food and pitchers. If you're looking for a chill local spot with lots of screens this is great.

    Garlic cheesy fries
    Jennifer K.

    Cafe Anasia seems to always be busy. It's funny since it's located in the middle of nowhere..well, not exactly nowhere but it's not located right next to other bars like in Chinatown/Downtown or Waikiki. When my friend first told me about it in the beginning of the summer, I was so confused. The sign doesn't even advertise that it's a bar, yet everyone seems to know about it. There are daily drink specials and a pool table in the back. There's also a basketball machine and several dart board machines also. Darts are very popular at Anasia and you need to get there early...or very late if you want to play. The servers and bartenders are all very nice and the place seems to always be filled with regulars. As for food, the food used to be pretty good until a few weeks ago when they changed the kitchen staff. But they seem to be slowly improving still. We went last week and our fries in our cheesy garlic fries were drenched in oil and soggy. When we went in this past Friday, it was a lot better. Not the best but definitely a great improvement from the previous fries. Not all the food needs improvement though. They are also serving malasada burgers which are delicious but pricey..especially for the size. I've been wondering why the malasada are red though...kinda strange... 31 Yelps Challenge: #13/31

    Dem pig nachos!!
    Nimai W.

    Braaah, yes. Drink specials all week Super friendly staff 4 dart boards, a few pool tables, and that basketball game Laid back, diverse crowd Plenty of tables and bar seating "Pig nachos" for $10, you can't beat it Pho? Pho. Pho and beer? Give it a try. A good menu of reasonably priced pickings, full meals, and a small Vietnamese selection. I tried the Vietnamese beef stew last night, it was was like a hybrid of beef stew with pho broth. A little sweet for my taste, but it was just what I needed after a night a drinking. The beef was nice and tender, falling apart with the spoon, and it had a bunch of carrots and onions. Pig nachos are a go-to when I just don't care. Packed with savory toppings, legit nacho cheese, and kalua pig. I've heard the pho is decent. Parking is tight, what's new? Parking is tight at Ala Moana and they have just short of half a million stalls. Must be, right? The good news, you can usually find parking in the lot on the side of the building next door, or along Beretania, or even Young st. The best thing about it? I live right down the street. So I don't need parking. So when you're headed to Anasia, you know who to call. Not me, I'm already here. I see you over there on Yelp, reading my review right now. Yeah that's me, nodding approvingly as you mark this useful, funny AND cool. Thanks for that.

Comfortable interior and HUGe TVs this is a great place to watch sports. Service was very friendly but could have some improvement. Hamachi carpaccio was pretty good and fried pork belly. Cons: They didnt have any beers on draft which I thought was strange for a sports bar, I asked for a menu but they didn't have any drink menu available, so the poor servers had to constantly repeat what beers they had. It was a busy night but the food took a very Long time to arrive some things almost an hour. Servers need a little more training. Granted they were pretty;) BUT We had to ask for water, water refills, plates, utensils, serving spoons, reminded them to check with kitchen if food was coming. Overall I would go there again if things get better but well probably go to another place next time.

Bartender new Popolo girl didn't know if she had Coke Zero and instead of just refill she asked if need one, that's the 1st for me from a Bar. And of course Bar & Waitress taking shots with regulars and paying attention to themselves instead of taking care of customer,, soda empty 20mins for the first time unbelievable. But most Bar people drink on the job what's new. Gotta ask for refill wow. Not sure if I ever come back here.

Surely...those expectations seem to have been met after today. I ended up ordering the Pulled Pork Sandwich with the superfood slaw. It was really good. Slaw - Refreshing and accompanies well with the Sandwich for some relief. It was not overdressed, which is a plus. Pulled Pork Sandwich - WOW...that's all I can say. I was completely floored after eating it. The pickled onions and slaw really were necessary to the sandwich because it helped cut through the richness of the pork. Pork was succulent and delicious and they gave a good amount of it on the sandwich. The presentation on the brioche bun made it so inviting. I would have liked a bit more of the pickled onion on it, but the flavors were outstanding...loved every bit of it. Everything about it was so good. Sweet, salty, acidic, smoky...it all worked as a perfect bite. The ambiance of the place was really beautiful and felt like a place I definitely would love coming back to in the near future. 10/10 Definitely would come back there for the sandwich again. Maybe I might be interested in one of their appetizers as well...

Not ideal, but would still come back!

    If you're visiting Hawaii with a big group, 100% recommend taking them here…read more We initially were a party of 16, and showed up without a reservation at 6pm on a Saturday. The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.
