A night in Kaka'ako is always a fun place to explore, and just be entertained!…read more The Honolulu Night Market at Our Kaka'ako is indeed a fabulous adventure into the biggest street/block party filled to the brim with all things local...food, retail and culture. I've been to so many and each and every one is very unique where you can find either fashion runway stage, live street art, or even a dance night in the barn. I just love the vibe SALT and surrounding Our Kaka'ako brings with the vibrant art we're so blessed to have and this particular night (November 19th) there was actually much more shopping just perfect for the holidays and the party went further down to Ya-ya's. Tonight I was fortunate to have gone after work so I kept it short but found some awesome treats. Some straw toppers to add to my holiday gift giving and some cheesecake cups (OG, Strawberry and Cookie Butter) of course I got one of each to share...ate the Strawberry which of course omg was yummy!! Not too sweet as the Strawberries was just perfect as I tried to get an even scoop of it all in every bite. Walked further down and honestly wasn't in the mood to wait too long for anything found something that would just exactly work for me. Ya-Ya's Chophouse & Seafood and tonight they had two items - Steak Kebabs - Fat Fried Rice with TAB (aka Thick Ass Bacon lol!) I seriously wanted the fried rice but thought that the Steak Kebabs was more sensible for me personally and it came with two kebabs each fully loaded with steak, mushrooms, peppers and onions with a huge scoop of rice! So many options I really was considering including Henna from Henna Happens, Birria Tacos from Dolce Vita, Corn from Corn Onoz Hawaii but though there's always a next time yes!?! I remember pre-pandemic Yelp had a booth here and hoping as things return to normalcy that we'll see it back again one day (hint hint!) Absolutely love this Honolulu Night Market as it offers so many cultural coolness that you can't find anywhere else! Thank you!

There were only about 4-5 food trucks when I visited, and it felt small. Around 6 PM, the area had…read morevery few people. There was some live music, but it seemed more like a quick stop for tourists rather than a real night market. I didn't try any food because the atmosphere wasn't appealing, so I left quickly.

It was truly a blast! I reserved a big room that cost $170 per hour but I got the deal of two hours…read moreand one extra hour for free. Me and my party ended up paying for another hour to make more memories for my birthday party. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious and they came in very quickly. The owners of the karaoke were super friendly and cool. I would recommend coming to this karaoke place if you're looking to sing more modern songs and definitely come with a big group!

For the easiest experience, make a reservation the day before over the phone. It's a small shop and…read moreseats are limited to ~16 people at full capacity. Even if some seats *are* open, most chairs will be used as spacers for the comfort of guests. You get 2 hours to paint and it takes 5 weeks to process. The owner is inflexible and abrasive but it's a local shop, not Disneyland. Total price adds up quickly when you get multiple pieces to paint. I've painted pieces over the years, and still regularly use them. This is a reliable establishment to make something nice for yourself or a loved one. It'd be better if they took online reservations through a third party. Few people would be comfortable giving their card details over the phone to a stranger. It's common sense not to. Maybe another kiln would be helpful, too.

We've been looking forward to painting at the Clay Cafe and it turned out to be such a great and…read morerelaxing experience. They had a great selection of clay pieces and they give you two hours to paint at our own pace. It felt nice to unplug for a bit, enjoy the little things, and just exist in our own creative bubble for awhile. We can't wait to see how our finished pieces turn out.

This was a really fun place. I had friends visiting from Cali and they wanted a place to dance. I…read moregot the VIP table and as we arrived they put wristbands on us and we went up the stairs. It was a Friday night and we got there at 10pm and although it wasn't full of people, we absolutely LOVED it! The VIP table was spacious and we had a stripper pole to dance with and it was super fun! We got Tito's vodka and it came with 3 mixers of our choice and Redbull. The servers were fun and attentive and made excellent drinks. The cost was about $350 and totally worth it! The DJ played a good mix and since our group age ranged between 24 to 54, everyone had fun and liked the mix. I look forward to returning and bringing more friends

The shows are really cool! And I like the vibe and it's nice to have queer friendly places…read more There's almost no place to sit, but I'm not taking stars away for that. It's not their fault. They just don't have the space. So we can probably only spend two hours here maximum especially if you're wearing heels although maybe some people can wear heels all day without sitting. The problem and the disappointment is that the drinks are way too expensive. $16 for mediocre drinks that are mostly ice cubes in small plastic cups. And then, if they do have specials, they run out of them. Before the event even starts. That's my biggest problem with this place. This is the only queer space on the island that has weak small drinks. For a high price. That is not a typical culture of a queer space. All the other queer spaces have much larger stronger better drinks, and the prices are lower. It's really a bummer because I will only order one drink here and then if I want to have more drinks go somewhere else. But it's OK shouldn't have to drink to have fun anyway as I suppose. Even the Republic has bigger better drinks, and they're not even a dedicated queer space.

The line to buy tickets was long but it moved fast. We parked on the street so we did not pay for…read moreparking. There's a parking lot though. We're not from Hawaii so we did not know about the parking garage, lol. The admission was quite cheap so I liked that. There are a lot of vendors and food stalls. I feel like it's more of a shopping vendor show rather than a foodie con. The walkway for the food area was completely packed. We could hardly walk because the lines were just unorganized. Some lines just blocked the walkway completely so you had to go around them. There should be a better system for that next year. The food they had were mediocre. We tried so many foods and desserts and spent a lot of money here. Overall, the food is probably 3/5 stars only. I'd probably would not go back here next time.

I had a great time at the Hawai'i Foodie Con and Expo. The ticket price to enter is reasonable at…read more$6.50 per person. The line to get a ticket was not long at all. Once you get your ticket, you go inside the Blaisdell Center and there are hundreds of vendor booths and stalls. It felt like 60-40 with 60% being food or drink and about 40% being "stuff"--toys, knickknacks, even mattresses (?!) and home equipment. There is live music and entertainment; sometimes it got really loud and hard to hear conversation but most of the time it wasn't too bad. The lines for getting food and drink at stalls wasn't bad at all when I went (Saturday around 10-1). Food that needed to be prepared came out quickly and most vendors took card. There were a few that were cash and Venmo only. Many vendors gave out samples so you can try before you buy. Lots of small plates, $7 items to keep the costs down, and mini sized items. It helped that I could focus on those and try lots of smaller things inside of a few larger ones. I enjoyed everything I had a chance to try and I'm only sad that some of the vendors are mostly on the West side and pretty far away from where I live. I won't have much of a chance to try them out outside of the Foodie Con.

Painting in Kaneohe, Hawaii…read more.. Paint nights have been happening for years and this is the first time that I got a chance to experience one. Thanks to Jessica and Jules for planning this group activity and organizing us! Before Jessica moves to the mainland, there were a few things that she wanted to do together and one of them was painting. She selected this picture of a waterfall with a flowering tree and butterflies because the other pictures looked "touristy"... haha! The venue (The Beach House) was a local bar in my neighborhood. It was convenient for me since I live and work in Kaneohe. I knew where it was (next to Windward Mall) and that there was free parking...and a restroom with curtains instead of walls to designate separate stalls! Tip: Just lock the door for privacy! Don't let anyone else in with you, ladies! Our instructor, Kate, was awesome! She was so bubbly, informative, and reassuring. I have never painted before and I have always wanted to try. I was afraid of the outcome...lol! This was a super great experience! All of the supplies were provided. Kate and her assistant, Lei, set up and cleaned up for us! We had a blast - and a finished product to remind us of a happy memory. Gosh, Jessica... I'm starting to really miss you already... waaahhh! (Crying a waterfall now...) =( P.S. Thanks to Jules for her patience in walking me through the online registration. I couldn't have done it without you! P.P.S. We were given a stamp card - wow - a Loyalty Program... shall we go again?

"Not an Escape Room, Just a Frustrating Candy Hunt"…read more I've done a lot of escape rooms, and I can confidently say this was the worst one I've ever experienced. We booked "Sadie's Sweet Shop" at Room with a Clue expecting a fun, candy-themed escape challenge. Instead, we got a poorly designed scavenger hunt with no story, no urgency, and no objective beyond collecting candy. There is no escape element whatsoever--you're not solving puzzles to get out or to advance a storyline. You're just wandering the room trying to figure out what random combination of props might unlock another piece of candy. It felt like the creator designed puzzles purely for their own amusement, not for the enjoyment of players. Many of the puzzles were confusing not because they were hard, but because they were disconnected, self-indulgent, and illogical. To make things worse, the room was filled with red herrings--not clever misdirections, just pointless distractions that wasted time and made the experience frustrating instead of fun. The whole game lacked cohesion. There was no narrative thread tying things together, no build-up, no satisfying payoff. Just a cluttered space full of unrelated tasks. It felt like a rough draft of an escape room, not something worth charging admission for. Escape room fans: skip this one. Honolulu has much better options. Save your time and money

So fun!!! Our…read moreescape room theme was Sushi, and we had to collect as many Shoyu packets as we could within 50 minutes. You can earn Shoyu packets by cracking codes, solving riddles, and answering triva correctly. To be honest, I did not think it was going to be super challenging, but compared to the mainland chain escape rooms, I would say it's about a 6 considering you want to "breakout" AND beat the other teams that have set records for collecting the most Shoyu packets. Plus, since they only offer one breakout room, they probably can't make it too difficult. I LOVED that our administrator was just as excited and happy to be there as we were. I wish I took more photos of the inside, but pls check it out because they change the theme every quarter or so. Can't wait to try the Christmas themed one that she (the manager/owner?) was telling us about!

ONE HOUR LIVE THEATER WORKSHOP FOR KIDS 4-12 with ACTIVE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION $14.95…read more I'll be honest, I don't really know how to write this review because I don't know how to describe what exactly is going on here. BUT "The Rhelm" opened two months ago and is only here for a limited time and if your kids have seen everything on Oahu already, this is something DIFFERENT. It's not like a discovery center. It's not a museum. It's not a playground. You basically walk into a day in the life of the town of Wentrus. (See www.therhelm.com for more details) *cue the imagination music* The town of Wentrus got burned down by a dragon. The town needs help rebuilding. As soon as you ("the traveller") arrive, the villagers will take you to their various workshops where you can earn stamps on your passport when you do good deeds. Weaving and tinkering are just a few of the good deeds that my kids got to experience. HOURS: Fri 6-9pm, Sat 9a-9pm, Sun 9a-6pm. You can come whenever you want during these hours, they put a colored dot on your card so they will announce when your one-hour time limit is up. It goes by pretty quickly. LOCATION: Aloha Tower Marketplace, ground floor, across Gordon Birsch. I think they're only here til the end of September but I'm not even sure about that. PRICE: $14.95 for one hour. Other party packages are available too (ie $250 for 15 kids for a 2hr private party). PARKING: not validated. $5 flat rate (weekdays after 4pm, weekend days) *cue the reality music* So all the pictures I posted are in the square footage of one store, so this place is not really that big. Do NOT bring babies, toddlers, strollers (see age recommendation 4-12yrs), because there isn't room for all of that and it won't make sense to them anyway. Just bring your imagination and creative spirit and your kids will have a great time.
