I was at the village market that happens every Saturday night at Pearlridge. After walking around,…read morewe decided that one of the vendors we will try from would be Pelmeshki, which serves up pierogis, which is a type of dumplings. We order an order of half beef and half cheese & potatos. The vendor recommended us get panfried (between the two options of boiled or panfried). We got to choose two sauce which we went with garlic and shoyu chili. We had to wait SO long, I think it was around 15-20+ minutes. Overall, the pierogis were just okay, my friend didn't like the potato & cheese one and the beef one was just mediocre for us. The wrapper were thick and the sauces weren't very flavorful which just made it all taste bland. The shoyu chili was NOT spicy at ALL, like not even a hint. I personally don't think I would want/try this again.

Dumpling lover…read more.. Honestly I am and when I first discovered Pelmeshki which usually has been in the back end of the Village Night Market at Pearlridge Center I had already bought something to eat and with the amount they sell in one order there's no way that I can do it all by myself lol! These are Russian dumplings which looks like tortelloni or even some won tons that are round but are super cute and is filled with beef and pork you can have it pan fried or steamed and though I usually like pan fried I chose for steamed as it felt it would be more light and soft textured. A paired with a choice of sauce it was spicy shoyu for me. Placed my order but be prepared to wait as it's made to order though it did give me time to look around and see if anything else would capture my attention but before my eyes speak for my belly I headed back and was excited to see it was ready. Let me tell you these pillowy beauties was delicious though the dough is a bit on the chewy side as it was thicker similar to like a mandoo but it was delicious and with 20 for an order it's totally shareable and the sauce was on the thicker side and wasn't really spicy but is nice and flavorful to give a bit of kick to the Pelmeshki. The vibe at the night market is very festive and vibrant with lots of seating under the tent and a few cocktail tables for a quick bite making this a great place have some food, fun and freeing enjoyment. Thank you!

I went with the chicken shawarma that comes with garlic tume and pomegranate molasses and it was delicious. I also tried the shawarma brisket wrap and it was also very good, but the chicken was the winner for me. The prices here are also very reasonable for a spot that in a brand new food hall and new high rise in general. They're located right off of Keeamoku Street, they vibe inside is kinda all over the place, their are an numerous amount of restaurants to chose from and the seating area is plentiful and the service is fast and quick. You order from the kiosks located all over the dining hall which make it a lot quicker or you can even order from your phone ahead of time. If you're ever in the area give em a try.

I wish there were photos of food in the restaurant so I knew what to get. There was a lady working in the kitchen, with a cast. Not sure if that's acceptable for food service for sanitation.

Doner Shack has quickly become one of my go-to spots when I'm looking for a quick bite in town. My…read moreboyfriend was looking for a good döner spot and suggested we give this place a try, and it's been a regular spot ever since. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and seems geared more toward takeout, though there is some seating available inside if you'd like to eat there. Parking can be a little limited, but the lot is validated by the store, which helps. My favorite item on the menu is the Doner Sandwich with the lamb-and-chicken mix. I always order extra garlic yogurt sauce on the side, which takes it to another level. While Doner Shack is a little pricier than some other quick-service options, I think it's absolutely worth it. It's one of those places I find myself craving regularly and happily recommending to friends.

Everything was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The service was great, and the staff was super sweet and welcoming. We ordered the Gheymeh, Ghormeh Sabzi, beef & lamb kabob, and chicken jujeh kabob--and all I can say is... the plates were CLEAN! Every single thing was delicious. And I can't forget the salad and that dressing! So good! I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Honolulu. If you're looking for really good Persian/Middle Eastern food, Bar Koko is a MUST! Highly recommend.

We ordered quite a bit: Hummus Garden: Hummus topped with olives. I'm not a huge olive person, so I do wonder if I would've liked one of the other hummus options better. I've had mezze platters at places like Istanbul, and I think I prefer that style of hummus. Kashk-e Bademjan: This was the eggplant dip and surprisingly, I liked it! I'm definitely not an eggplant girlie, but it was warm, comforting, and had a really homey feel to it. Royal Koobideh Kabob: The beef and lamb were tasty, but a little too salty for me. I definitely needed the rice with it. The meat was thicker and really soft. I think I might prefer gyro meat, but that could also just be because it's what I'm more used to. Vaziry Duo Kabob: Since we already got the Royal Koobideh, we kind of wished this came with two chicken kabobs instead The chicken was good, but nothing particularly stood out to me about this dish. Braised Lamb Shank: This was nice to try, but honestly I almost forgot to include it in this review, which probably says something I was hoping it would stand out a little more, but it just wasn't as memorable as I expected. It wasn't bad by any means, and I'd order it again, but it's not something I left craving. Eggplant Stew: Once again, I'm not an eggplant person, but this was unique! It was warm with little pieces of beef, and I actually kind of liked it. For drinks, we tried three: The Golden Hour: Easily my favorite of the three. It had a honey-like flavor that I enjoyed. Sekanjabin Twist: This had cucumber and was a little sweeter and refreshing. It was good, but I still preferred the Golden Hour. Doogh: Okay, this was an experience It reminded us of tzatziki sauce in drink form. Very salty and definitely not something we were used to. We couldn't finish it. Overall, I wasn't completely sold on the drinks and probably wouldn't order them again, but if I did, I'd get the Golden Hour. Atmosphere and service: It's a cute, smaller restaurant and it was pretty busy when we went. It seemed like they might have been short staffed that day, but our waitress was really sweet and did her best, so no complaints there. Overall, I'm really glad I tried Persian food! There wasn't necessarily anything I left craving afterward, so I'm not sure this will become part of my regular restaurant rotation, but it was a fun experience and I'm happy I went.
