    First time visiting ever since they moved from Ward to Ala Moana and I'd say it's pretty similar but I'll definitely miss the old location due to the nostalgia of watching a movie at consolidated theatre's and going to Dave and busters afterwards! Lots of options for games and food/drinks. Always try to come here on Wednesdays for half price games because the games are really expensive otherwise! Fun detail I noticed is I loved the UH themed air hockey table :)

    Front of store.   We are hungry.

    Food was super large. Daisy was on it for helping us from start to finish.. Though catching up with my dinner partner. Was hard due to all the fun excitement to be had. And how loud it got for us old guys. I mean we ended up looking all around after eating. And we could see why. Mahalo.

    Whatever you do, don't come on the weekends. It's crazy busy on the weekends. So hard to even find a game available to play. Otherwise, this is a fun place for kids and teens alike. There's an option for unlimited play (though you don't get tickets), so that's fun and saves you money. You can't play any of the purple games though, since those win actual prizes (which is fair). Kinda wish there was an unlimited option that included purple games too. There's so much to do here, games, food, prizes, etc. The bathroom is fairly clean. The food is mediocre. The variety of games are plentiful. All games were up to date and modern (unlike other gaming places I've been). There's lots of options for young and old alike. The interactive games and ride on games are fun, especially for the younger ones. This was not our first time here and won't be our last.

    We had a Christmas party for work and our company booked a "VIP" room at D&B. I haven't been to D&B since they relocated so I was curious how it looks like now. They moved from Ward to Ala Moana where Shirokiya used to be. The area looks spacious, more dining area and seats. The game area does seem smaller compared to the old location. It's cool how they got 2 game arenas which looks futuristic. Anyways, the "VIP" room was quite small. It was cozy for 20+ people. The air condition in the room and the area outside of the room was broken so it was very hot. The game area is the only respite from the heat. Our server was very friendly and energetic. He was also very apologetic regarding the broken air conditioner. He brought fans in but it didn't help much. The games were fun. The arcade games are pretty much computerized now. It wasn't too busy but since it was a weekday at day time it was to be expected. Anyways my company got the combo deal where we can order from limited menu choices which includes a $20 game card. I got the fish and chips. Soft drinks are unlimited. The fish and chips were pretty good. It was crispy and there were 3 large pieces. The fries were crispy. The garlic aioli sauce was good. It was very savory. The coleslaw wasn't too bad but I did got flavor fatigue because of the creaminess of the salad and the garlic aioli.

    Review for visit on 1/14/2026 around 12:30pm. This location has a great manager. Our server was amazing too. I was celebrating the day with my husband because I recently became a US citizen. I requested Dave and Busters for my celebratory lunch because I want to play games after, and also eat American food. We ordered some pretzel dogs, smash burgers and the rib and wing combo. Food was great! I tried their frozen strawberry margarita and it was so good. It's kinda my new favorite drink haha! During our meal, the manager approached us to see how we're doing and out of the blue, she asked if we are celebrating something, so we told her. She asked me to pick two desserts and she'll comp it! What a sweet person! So we had the brookie tower sundae and the strawberry shortcake. Both were nice and sweet. Also, the server approached us and said the manager wants to give me a free drink, I think it was their tropical MaiTai. So good! The place was not packed since it was a Wednesday lunch time so it was really moderately chill. Place was clean and cool. All in all, my dining experience here was amazing. We played games after. The Golden season pass is definitely worth it. If you guys are reading this, thank you so much for making my special day amazing. PS forgot to take more pictures, I was just so happy to eat

    What the na his are supposed to look like...

    This whopping 1 star review is strictly for the food delivery order I received. I ordered the mountain o nachos many of times at Dave and busters. As most know... they are wonderfully delicious! I had it delivered to me, and got a pile of I don't even know! The pictures say it all. I swear there were many ingredients missing, and the chips were super stale. I will say though.... The customer service in the dining room is awesome! Managers are working the floor and are very attentive to guests.

    Total 4.5 stars First time at this facility since they moved from Ward. Facility - 5 stars. Attended a party in a great party room. Loved how there was like a "garage" door with frosted glass that pulled down to close off the room. Helped a lot with the noise level for our party time (eating, our own games, etc.) in the room. Game area was spacious, great variety of games, and this being a Sunday afternoon, the place was pumping! Crowded but not too crowded. Service - 5 stars! Vyck, Miguel, and Pi'ilani took great care of us! Vyck was an amazing host who has an amazing voice and explains everything clearly, and there's a lot to explain so we knew what games were no charge - "dark blue is for you ", and what the other colors meant when we scanned our game card. Food - 4.5 stars! We had a great assortment of entrees. Bbq chicken, 4 stars. Flavor was good but meat was not fall off the bone. Ribs were 5+ stars. Flavor was awesome and the meat was fall off the bone tender. They were perfect! Baked beans - 4 stars - were yummy, but salty to me. Mac and cheese with crumb topping - 5 stars - was amazing, ate more than I should have. Corn bread with honey butter another 5 stars, was so delicious! Cole slaw, ok - 3 stars. Potato salad was in keeping with the theme and not Hawai'i style. 4 stars, not bad. Also had a fruit platter. Definitely a great party place for adults, teens, and kids. Having a party here is a great idea.

    Smokehouse BBQ Burger*
    David L.

    Came here for Veteran's Day. There was a 35 minute wait but with Open Table, I was able to see where I was on the waitlist and got texted when the table was ready. Hankering for a burger, I ordered the BBQ Smokehouse burger. It came out medium done as I ordered and the fries were hot and crispy (sometimes quality goes down when there's a rush). The burger was huge and tasty. No complaints from me. I will add that my friend ordered the Kalbi and it had a lot of fat on the pieces. Great if you like that but if not... Table and floors were clean. Service was fast and friendly. Overall, very good visit.

    I took my daughter here for her birthday along with 2 of her other friends. We ended up loading her card with money and limited time. It actually lasted a couple hours and then we got hungry so we got drinks and nachos to eat. The nachos were enough for all of us and was delicious. Afterwards, the server brought out ice cream and we all sang to my daughter. Awesome server we had. I tipped him as well. Everything was perfect and had a great time. This place was awesome. We will be back. Ambiance was nice and it was huge. I'm definitely coming back with my boyfriend.. Highly recommend for teenagers and adults.

    The Brekky Burger (no cheese) with the bacon aioli on the side.
    Matt O.

    I'm just as surprised how quick things went 4 days after my birthday. From eating at Dixie Grill with my parents...to going to Dave and Buster's in Ala Moana with a friend. Where do I start? So...it turns out that I wanted to eat over there because I never had a chance to try and eat at the previous one in Ward Village. I came into this with a mindset that says, 'Matt, don't overcomplicate this and just go inside to enjoy some good food there'. And, sure enough, that's exactly what just happened. The expectations were maybe a whole lot different than what I didn't anticipate. The food was great...and I got to enjoy some for to take home for a second lunch. I ordered some fried pickles to start for the appetizer and it looked so good. Crunchy, salty, acidic...it hits well and the ranch was a nice compliment to it. For lunch, I ordered their Brekky Burger without cheese and the bacon aioli on the side, and I have to say, first impressions looking at it, the presentation was gorgeous and looked as if I wanted to dig right in immediately. All the flavors come together and really made it an interesting bite to enjoy. A little messy, but it tastes good. To close out my meal, I ordered the Strawberry Shortcake and it was the perfect way to finish my meal. All in all, not a bad first trip there. And I got my own D&B game card. Thanks, Dave and Buster's. You truly put a big smile on my face after today.

    I love this location at Ala Moana Shopping center. It's on the street level across from Foodland. It's a great place to occupy the kids. And also the kid in you. There's a spacious eating area as soon as you walk in. Take advantage of their play and eat combos. Food came out fast and hot. Great variety of burgers, chicken strips and wings. Game area had some really cool updated games. Claw machines and skill games. Prize area located in the center. Staff were amazing. From our server to the prize staff. Everyone was so helpful and always keeping things in order. Awesome experience for the family.

    10 oz steak
    Ramiro H.

    Really polite servers. It can take a while if you go during game time, especially during playoffs, but they text you when table is ready so we enjoyed a bunch of games. The menu selection is impressive, but for some odd reason I accepted the steam recommendation. The steak was good and decent price, but you don't go to D&B for steak so that was my bad since it wasn't filling and I wasn't a fan of the mashed potatoes. The food was good, but noticeably salty. My kids were super thirsty afterwards. Prices were surprisingly good and I got a 90 min play card for $40 so the kids could play unlimited afterwards. The server kinda forgot about me but she felt bad I saw her eating her break while I was waiting for my food. I'll for sure return she try something else with a pitcher of beer to wash down the salt!

    They do take reservations just call for more information or book it online.

    What time do they start to check IDs? On Wednesdays, Do they still have half off games after this time?

    We no longer check IDs since we don't have Club Night Wednesdays. However, we do still have 1/2 Price Games on Wednesdays and that special is all day long.

    First time checking out Blitz. I dont often give 3 starts but here's the quick pros and cons…read more PRO: Convenient location and we were able to make a reservation on a UFC fight night. 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.

    Pretty cool place for Sunday Football, pretty empty place, ate the Loco Moco $18 its ok comes with…read more2 small pieces of onions,leterally, 3 halfs of a mushrooms, Burger well done was kinda hard, egg over easy cooked well, might of been sitting cooked already. I guess they used already cooked and serve old stuff not fresh. Likelike has the Best Loco Moco. I think I miss the rush so get left overs. 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.

    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.
