Super fun location if you love darts! Great bar, super cool regulars (I am not one), and onsite and nearby parking I'll definitely come back - D Rock - thanks for introducing to others and you and your friends made us have a great time read more

I'm there for pool, but I recently been ordering food bc usually bar food is... meh. HOWEVER, I ordered the hamburger steak with mushrooms, onions and gravy... it's so tasty!!! I love the charred edges of the meat, yet it is tender. I thought nothing could be comparable to Victoria Inn's hamburger steak. Tuesdays is when I go to Anasia bc that's where Justin works and cooks the tasty hamburger steak. Highly recommend. They sometimes have some tasty daily specials. Yum!!! read more

My friends and I went there because we heard they have good food. We wanted to go to somewhere other than Zippy's that's open later than 10:00. The oxtail soup was Fabulous! Tasty and the oxtail was meaty and tender, mustard cabbage , shiitake mushrooms , peanuts and Chinese 5 spice . Most of the ordered the beef stew. They were all raving how onolicious it was. Another friend had the chicken strips and fries. The chef Justin came out to meet us I'm not sure if a bunch of seniors frequent their establishment often He was very friendly and personable! Our servers name was Chloe. Super helpful and nice. The tables are large so we all had adequate space! We will be returning soon! read more

Food is amazing! Friendly help. Ambiance is spot on for a good time . Gotta check out Justin the cook

Crispy pork and chicken wings were awesome! Crispy pork was like good Lechon Kawali. Servers were attentive and atmosphere was good for talking story. read more

Cozy restaurant/bar. Awesome food and really reasonably priced. Service was pretty fast and servers were friendly. Loved that they're open late. Especially when we're getting out of work after 10pm and want a real meal...not fast food. Would definitely go there again!! Thanks to Kyle the cook who came out to greet us! read more

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... read more

Went to this bar for the superbowl and it was fun! Definitely a dive bar for the locals but surprisingly had DELICIOUS food! The kimchi fried rice was outstanding with lots of flavor. The tater tot nachos were super cheesy and delicious. The bbq pizza had too much bbq sauce (too overwhelming) but still good. Honestly, some of the best bar food I've had. The decor, however, is outdated and we sat by the bathroom with ripped seats, which hurt my thighs. read more

Me and my friends came here for a get together and there was about 8 of use . We ordered the nachos with fries and it was delicious. The go here was definitely the loco Moco though it was good. The server was amazing checked in on us on good amount of times and refilled our drinks . It was great. Parking was definitely hard . Small parking lot. Would give a 5 but parking is just not it. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Great times, good food and drinks for good prices is what you'll find at Anasia. Haven't been here before but it won't be my last, might've found my new watering hole. Finding parking is the only issue here. read more

I've come here a couple times with friends. It's chill. They have 22 tv screens, dart boards and pool tables. The bartenders are nice. There's really nothing to complain about. This is not a fancy place. Don't expect modern and hip ambiance or decor. It's very casual. People come here to eat and drink and talk loudly and watch sports or play darts. The parking lot isn't very large and can fill up rather quick, but I've usually been able to find street parking easily. The drinks are good and cheap and the bartender we had was really nice and friendly, without being fake or pretentious. It was nice. They have delicious looking food. They also have a specials board, so check that out if you're here for food. I wondered why yelp listed this place as Vietnamese..... it doesn't really feel Vietnamese nor is the food Vietnamese, so I'm still confused. Either way, I'd be back! read more

Ok...talk about a hidden gem! I had a blast last night playing pool here. Great service...the food is amazing and the crowd is awesome. Made a bunch of friends and will go back often. read more

Was in the mood for pool and darts, but it was Monday and Hawaiian Brian's was closed. Thank goodness for Cafe Anasia! They have several dart boards and two pool tables. Lots of tv screens to watch any sports games you may want to see. All the bartenders and waitresses here are super friendly and get your drinks out to you fast! They have a full kitchen here, but honestly I'm pretty basic with bar food and always go for French fries. We got some kind of garlicky bacon fries and they were DELICIOUS. Very chill place, nice and empty when we went, had tons of fun. Will definitely be back! read more

Café Anasia - Pitcher of beer ~6 beers (this one was already partially poured) - Sports Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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 read more

Great place to be a lot of food to choose from and they have 2 pool tables and dart boards. Try the steak pizza and garlic steak. Also their waitress and bartenders are very nice and efficient. Great crowd and everyone is responsible. read more

Great spot, typical local style sports bar. Large custom made booths, friendly staff and local food. Prices are great and the tvs are always on. A great place for ppv sports events and bar sports ( pool and darts). read more

Service is always AMAZING here, shoutout to my girls Ember, Anna, and Angela! Food is usually good and drinks, cheap. The food isn't as good as it used to be since the chef, Phil, left... but, most times we just come to drink and have a good time. ‍ ‍ Parking can sometimes be tough but Anasia's is one of my favorite bars because of the atmosphere and people that make this place great. This place is like my second home and it's always a good time here! They have a TouchTunes machine to play music, six Darts Live boards, and two pool tables in the back. read more

Awesome atmosphere and value... haven't come here for years and it's still just as good as ever!

The service is always great here! Angela, Chloe, Amber & Anna, you gals are the bestest! Slow or busy, my alcohol is always replaced when ready & my water never goes empty, and I drink a lot of both, lol. The garlic fries are awesome. The menu has been reduced drastically with run-of-the-mill bar food. If you just looking for pupu kine food it's good enough. Parking can be tough sometimes but from what I hear you can park in the bank parking lot right before Anasias, just not in front of the ATM, and after the bank closes. read more

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. read more

Café Anasia - Dem pig nachos!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My favorite neighborhood watering hole. I mean sports bar. Yeah. This is a magical place full of dirty walls and cheap drinks. Loud noises from music and people will surround you. Cheap dart games will be going on, pool players will be shooting their balls, and those who are thirsty will be sitting around tables on comfortable couches getting drunk with some good bar food. Why do I like Anasias? Because the workers are friendly, they have awesome specials everyday of the week, and lots of darts! There isn't just one board hiding in the corner, but a room with a few and some right as you walk in. It's also a pretty spacious place, but does get packed. Parking: there's parking in the front of the place, but you're able to park in the lot next to it too. Or find street parking. Food: I love their food offerings. They're listed as Vietnamese because they offer Vietnamese selections to eat while you're there. But if you just want good ole nachos and fries they have those too. The fatty in me enjoys that they are generous with their toppings. For examples, if you order the Kahlua pork nachos, you will get Kahlua pork nachos. Not just "chips with a pinch of cheese and pork" sprinkled on top. Mmmmmmmmmm Gotta love that gooey fake cheese they use. Oh and service is great here. They check up on you enough to feel remembered, let you stay literally till they close without being too mean and kicking you out, and bring you loads of their complimentary bar snacks if you wish (Doritos, popcorn, peanuts, etc). Great local place with a local and friendly vibe. If you're visiting, I'd check it out. If you live here, LET'S GO DRINK! read more

They really do have it all~! Basketball, 5 dart boards, 2 pool tables, juke box, yummy food, weekly specials and great bartenders. You cant go wrong coming here :) Anasia is definitely one of my favorite sports bars to go to! Although I haven't been going as often as I used to, I still love coming here with my friends. It gets busy on weekends, so my favorite time to go are on the weekdays. My favorite eats: + Pig Nachos + Veggie Platter + Sweet Potato Fries + Cheesy Garlic Fries + Agedashi Tofu + Chicken Dynamite read more

Started the night around 9. They have limited parking but luckily we got the last stall in their lot. My friend parked it so that we could get out easily, which didn't work since another car parked in front blocking her way out. There were a decent amount of parties already seated inside. The UH football was playing (their last game), and of course there would be fans cheering. It got quieter after the game ended. We ordered chicken wings: a bit dry. I got to try some of their pho. It was okay. Apparently that's what happens the first time you try it and after you'll learn to love it. Uh, that, I don't know. Had some drinks, Redd and Chamboard 7. Not a beer drinker but I could drink Redds, and the Chamboard was sweet. A small place with booths that can fill up a lot of people and games to play. I don't recommend using their bathroom, unless you REALLY need to go. There's only one... yeah. Nuff said. Oh, and I guess this is a hang out a lot of people go to. People knew others that started coming in. And when you do come later, it does get packed. read more

Anasias is great to go to if you're looking for a dive bar, especially if you want that dive bar to have darts! There are 5 dart boards, 2 pool tables, and 1 basketball arcade game. You're set-up to have fun here. The waitresses and bartenders are all friendly and offer quick service. I have been here many times and even on nights where it's packed, we always had cold drinks. I have only gotten the standard bar foods here, including cheesy fries, garlic fries, nachos, and corn dogs. They were all okay. Nothing out of the ordinary, but that's not a bad thing. Parking for Anasia's can be horrible. If there is no parking in front, DO NOT try to keep driving to the back of the bar to park. It looks like it is parking for an apartment complex and I learned this the hard way. BUT the driveway right before Anasia is the parking lot to a brown government building, which you are allowed to park in. I mostly enjoy this bar because drinks are cheap compared to a lot of other places. Single well whiskey and ginger ale, only $4.50!! read more

Still my favorite bar and possibly THE best place ever! I'm writing this update because recently I have been going more often and actually have been trying some of their other dishes. (Previously I had mentioned that the food was good, but not as good since they changed chefs a few times - I was SO wrong!). The Agedashi Tofu, Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings, and Salt & Pepper Pork Chops are super tasty! Wow! Talk about great bar food. Totally unexpected, exploding flavors. I am very impressed and must apologize for not giving their food another chance until recently. Even though I've been trying out a lot of other bars, I am always drawn back here! This is my home away from home! Also learning how to play darts now - watch out!;) read more

OMG their Kimchee Fried rice was pretty tasty! could be a bit more spicy but other than that it was a hit! and the portions was huge. it satisfied both mine and my boyfriends tummy! Garlic fries, let's just say I've experienced better! but again the portions were generous. Calamari: this too was just alright, nothing great about it and it was actually kinda soggy, should've been fried a little more but the bf liked it and ate it all Service: there were 3 waitress helping us and all 3 were very nice always checking up on us, except towards the end were we waited a good 10 miuntes to get our tab and have them bring it back. I noticed mon-sunday they've always got draft/beer specials lined up so if you're ever in the area and looking for good bar food and drinks you might wanna hit this place up! read more

Café Anasia - Kimchee fried is a must try! - Sports Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

On a recent run from work in Kalihi to home in Kaimuki, I noticed this place on S. Beretania Street and decided to check things out. Initially noticing that it had Vietnamese on their signage, I was interested to see if this place was cool. I prolly should have read the yelp reviews on this place first before committing, since it was not what I had expected at all. Needless to say, it was an interesting, but an overall enjoyable experience. Yes folks. This place is a sports bar. I thought it was a Vietnamese restaurant. My bad. Well, I didn't mind either way, since I needed some form of alcohol that night after a bout of craziness at work. The ambiance was an interesting mix of people and loud music. The staple here is bar food and a good mix of clientele who are here for a nice evening and a great time out with friends. It's nice to chill out here with a bottle or two and just to forget your problems for a couple of hours. Maybe more. The prices are good here and the food is consistent wherever you do find alcohol anywhere. Comfort food at it's peak and Hawaii soul food, to be sure. The service is good and fast, but come down early or late night for good seats in the house. There is a small private lot fronting Cafe Anasia but if it is full, you can find parking in the nearby residential areas - on the street. This place is a hidden gem for those who want to try out new watering holes and to scout out new places to hang out in, but for me, I kind of wanted Pho that night. No biggie. Overall, this place is good. Nearby the University of Hawaii - Manoa and Teddy's Bigger Burgers on S. King Street, across the street from Champion Malasadas. No regrets. Support local! B+ read more

$5 pitchers of Rolling Rock and $5 steak special on Wednesday and a few games of pool is what we happened upon. Lucked out with a parking spot but seems like the lot can be hard to park in if busier. Staff was friendly and service was prompt. The $5 steak was tasty but small (5-6 oz, about 6-7 slices). Pitcher was one of the smaller sized ones but for $5, it was awesome. COLD beer = crowd seemed friendly. The menu has some good options but we didn't get to try anything beyond the steak. Pool is $1/ game and there's 2 tables. Overall a sweet spot. We'll be back if we're in the area, but I wouldn't drive across town for it. read more

Not my type of bar. Won't be back. Definitely not worth the drive all the way from Aiea. A little tight as far as a comfortable capacity for seating arrangement. It's not like what I remembered and the bar was not accommodating as far as orders and timely check ups. The kitchen closed as 11 so as for us coating our stomachs that's didn't happen. This of course caused us not to drink as much or even at all. The pool table are squished to the back with limited area to play and sit. The bathrooms are broom closet size and also serve as a storage unit too. Parking is a mess. It's vertical parking and it's not leveled so be careful if you wear heels. I give them a star for actually carrying my Peach Ciroc vodka. I give them another star for the one and only waitress who was smiling and did check up on us. read more

I love Anasia. We used to go to Surrender but now that they have closed me and my friends are free agents! Haha! We are still in the market for calling a place home but so far Anasia is coming up big for us. Parking use to be an issue but seems like they are doing better with that and now have a parking solution for $5 close by. The food is great and beer specials are awesome too! They have 6 dart boards and two pool tables and karaoke. Plus the girls that work there are very friendly and pretty on it when it comes to service. I see the same faces for a long time too so to me that's a good sign that the management keeps them happy and they like where they work. Always a plus to me. Plus Phil the master chef is truly amazing... he made us this tomato clam pasta and it is the best I ever had in any category you could put it in. Best tomato based pasta... best clam sauce pasta... best spicy pasta!!! I hope he puts it on the menu one day!!! Or at least lets his regulars order it!!! My favorite pastas in hawaii are the spaghetti factory managers special with mizithra and clam sauce, then Assagio's chicken anchovy olio, and then this pasta from Phillip! In no particular order. It is world class! I would rather eat this than all the fine dining pasta I had in all of Vegas! In fact this pasta should be in a fine dining restaurant! It's that good, no joke! I will be coming here more often! Anasia is winning me over more and more everyday! Thank you for being so awesome to me and my friends all the time! I put a picture of the pasta but it's not the actual one. We devoured it before I thought to take a photo! but I wanted to give you and idea of what this pasta looks like! read more

Reviews seemed pretty good but must have been a bad night. Slow service, forgot orders, didn't have all the beers on menu.

Been here twice now. Service is ok for a busy place, I'm guessing three servers only? Love the food so far. The shots are ok too. Parking can be difficult if you come later on a weekend. Seating may become a problem but hasn't happened to me yet. read more

Café Anasia - Loco moco - Sports Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

UPDATE: The owners really care about their customers, because if someone says anything slightly negative on Yelp, or even to a server, they will do their best to address the issue, fix the problem, and make things right. Shortly after my review stating that my drink was taken away when I wasn't finished, I was contacted by the owner and was offered a free drink to make up for the one that was taken away. It's nice to know that there are business owners who understand what great customer service is. I will definitely be frequenting this place more often. Just for that, they get their fifth star back. 9/29/12 Review Anasias is a happening place! Good drinks, great food, darts, a basketball game and a cool jukebox that you can use your smartphone to add songs too! I'm not going to say what we had to eat because we were informed that the menu would be changing shortly, but I can tell you that everything was super awesome, and I hope that the menu doesn't change too much. The servers are really friendly, and extremely efficient. They are a little too efficient, which is why I took off one star. I had a vodka cocktail, and when I got close to the bottom it looked like melted ice I guess and the waitress took it away without asking if I was done. I was told later by my boyfriend who used to be a regular that I should put a napkin on it if I'm not done because that always happens. So I guess you have to always hold your drink or put a napkin on it or it will be taken away. I discovered that the touchtunes jukebox could be controlled with your smartphone, and immediately downloaded the app, put some money in my account and started adding songs to the jukebox right from my seat! I thought that thing was so cool, I used all the money ($5 bought me 8 songs). You can even create a playlist before you get there, and push it through once you're there. (Okay, maybe this portion is a review of the app itself, but how cool is it that you are kind of like a DJ from your seat?) The only bad thing about the music is that the house music is extremely louder than the jukebox music. We had to ask to turn up the jukebox music because we could barely hear it, and when there were no more jukebox songs, the house music blasted everyone. Well, we will definitely be going back, and hopefully after the menu changes the food will still be really awesome, because that will keep us going back more often. read more

Always great food and service. Jess is great waitress, very friendly and attentive. It's nice because she remembers us (yeah we go their often). My fiends and I order the same food all the time. We order, kimchee fried rice (over easy egg), edamame, pork chops and my favorite cheesy fries. Haha, yes cheesy fries with cheese on the side (keeps the fries from getting soggy). Sometimes we order alcohol but we always play darts and pool. Check this place out but it does get busy later on at night. read more
