We planned a Valentine's staycation for the family in Waikiki and happened to stumble upon Good…read moreChicken inside STYX ASIA. When you're always on the hunt for great fried chicken, you can't really pass up a place literally called "Good Chicken" and they definitely lived up to the name! The establishment is cute and cozy with tables available for dine-in. As soon as we walked up, we were kindly greeted and a table was set up for us immediately. After getting settled into our hotel, we were starving, and everything on the menu looked incredible. We ended up ordering the Garlic Chili and the Honey Shoyu chicken. It was exactly what you want when you're craving KFC. The sauces were spot on, chicken had a perfect crunch in every bite and the meat was incredibly tender. To make our dinner feel like a complete, we also added a few other items to the table. We had the pork mandoo and loved that it was clearly homemade, you could really taste the difference. Those extra sides were the perfect finishing touch to the feast. To be honest, if it weren't for this staycation, we probably wouldn't have headed into this part of Waikiki, but I'm so glad we did. Next time we stay in the area, this will definitely be on our list of places to repeat. If you are in the Waikiki area and looking for delicious Korean Fried Chicken (and a Kama'aina discount!), look no further.

Nevermind the attitude he gave them before even being seated, let's talk about how he made them both pay before they could even order their food, something we noticed that he did not do to any other tables. Also, they were never given any water or any other kind of typical restaurant hospitality. Something every other table received. This place is a dump. Stay far away.

This is some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time -- crispy, hot, and fried so perfectly I had to sit there for a second and reevaluate my life choices. The shoestring fries? Light, crunchy, and honestly a little addictive. I ordered the Cajun seasoning and yeah... it's salty. But Cajun seasoning is salty. That's literally the whole personality of Cajun seasoning. If you're in Waikiki and want fried chicken that actually tastes like someone cared, this is the spot. I'll defintely be back with the crew.

Supposedly there is a grand opening celebration this week October 24, 2025…read more We stopped by to check out this place and according to the Yelp reviews, it's been around and open for a long time lol. Parking is validated with the use of its parking app and a QR code. We tried Chicken University. Here we come wings! Ordered 10 piece with Soy Garlic and Sweet & Spicy. Total bill: $20.93 A bit pricey but we will see how it tastes. Okay, as far as the taste goes, the sweet & spicy sauce is thick like honey. Not very spicy hot initially. Then the heat grows as you continue to eat the wing. 3.5/5 stars The Soy Garlic is flavorful and on the salty side. You will want a drink and maybe rice or fries with your order. Garlic taste is not strong. 3.5/5 stars. Service was great here. The employee helped us with the validation parking QR code. 5/5 stars. Ambiance: It's like a food court, hence the name Kitchen Cove. Chicken University, K-Ramyun and BBQ Bowl are all located in the same cove. Lots of seating available. Open air. Noisy as it is located near the busy streets. Overall 3.5. Rounded up to 4 stars due to the great service here.

Came here on a late night around 8:30 PM on a Wednesday and there was no line, but they did tell us…read morethat they were short on burgers. Good thing though, we were going there for the ribs, as it seems to be one of the main food items they have. Starting off, the service is 10 out of 10. It was our first time coming here and we were greeted nicely. It's a small food truck and I believe they have a partnership with the bar right behind them. We asked them where to eat and they said feel free to just walk into the bar and eat there. Be prepared to buy a drink or something at the bar to support them as well. The ribs were great -- they were nice and charred, sticky ribs, not drenched in any barbecue sauce. They were pretty flavorful with that charred, cooked flavor. The quantity of food is plenty; they even warned us because we ordered two orders with fries and tater tots, and they were right that it would be a lot of food. The pictures don't look like it, but it's extremely filling. I think you could easily go with just two ribs and one side order for two people. The ambiance is meant for a dive bar type of setting since that's the eating area. If you're into that kind of vibe, I think this is the go-to spot for you. Not sure it's ideal for families since the eating area is a bar, but it might be a good quick spot in the daytime. At nighttime, there seems to be a lot more adults drinking and chatting around in the bar. Food price was a bit high, but I think that's expected in Waikiki -- that's why I'm still giving it five stars, plus the food quantity was plenty and we had a lot left over. Their service is amazing; they were delivering the food to us while we were seated, and even though they said the food would take a bit longer to cook since we were arriving late, it still arrived pretty quickly. Overall, would come here again if I'm craving some barbecue.

I just got a pineapple juice while waiting for my burger and fries. The Service was good. Ty brought my burger in when it was ready. I'm not sure it scales well but... whatever. The food, however, was mediocre at best. The burger wasn't smashed. The fries were hot but fairly tasteless despite the sprinkle of seasoning on them. I've been reluctant to write this review because I like the guys at the bar and the truck. However Yelpers, you need to know.

They're located in Kuhio's food hall. This place was popping at 8PM on a Saturday night…read more I ordered the Chee Hoo combo which came with beef brisket, baby back ribs, smoked sausage, and short ribs. It was ~$30 and easily shareable with 2-3 people. Everything tasted great and I loved the smokey flavor and bbq sauce. Beef brisket and short rib were kinda tough and chewy. It came with three sides so I got cole slaw, potato salad, and Mac and cheese. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were solid; Potato salad was just alright. They also gave one warm bun too. The reason I gave 3 stars was because service was extremely slow. It seemed like they were short staff and had one person at the cash register AND getting the food. He would take a few orders, and then grab the food. When I arrived, he was grabbing food for multiple folks so then I stood there waiting like 15 just to place my order. Then when he restarted and took my order, he took like 5 more orders before grabbing the food so then I waited even longer for another 15 min. That's 30 min of waiting! Also he wasn't serving food in the order that orders were received so it felt actually felt even longer. There needs to be a better system! Surprisingly he did a employee discount on my order. Not sure if it's because it was close to closing time. Btw they charge extra if you order to-go because of the supplies for packaging. I think food is alright but wouldn't return and wait that long for bbq.

1 star -- Extremely poor customer service…read more Ordered online and was charged a $6 convenience fee. When I walked in, they told me they had turned the iPad off, so they never saw my order. Instead of apologizing or taking ownership, the lady up front simply said, "Well, sit outside, it's gonna be a wait." No apology, no sense of urgency. I ended up waiting another 20 minutes for the food, and later realized I was also charged a tip during online checkout. Between the tip and the convenience fee, that was about $12 extra for subpar food and rude service. Very disappointing experience. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and this place fell short on both.

I came here for two days in a row and honestly the first day was already disappointing…read more The flatbread pepperoni pizza was only $10.99, so the price wasn't bad, but the cheese tasted like a very cheap cheese that turns gray once it gets cold. I personally do not like that type of pizza at all. I also tried the loco moco. It was average at best. The hamburger patty was very small, more like a regular hamburger size, and they would not give a second patty even though it came in a large to-go container. See my photo if you want an idea of the portion. Tonight was the final disappointment. I ordered the rib eye steak medium rare, but it came out completely well done. I cannot eat a rib eye cooked that way, especially after specifically ordering medium rare. See my steak photo and the receipt showing the order. Sadly, this will be my last meal here. Wow double whammy I just looked at my recipe and my salad was 20% but she didn't give me the discount WTH? Look at my salad and receipt...

The man told me no, but they had gravy he could pour on my steak. I accepted and it was good. We were happy with our quick sit down meal.
