Front entrance

Naks Cafe located in the Food Court @ the Pearl City Don Quixote. We were shopping in the area and decided to stop and try Naks. Read about from our fellow Yelper's. Service was good. Our server had some goood suggestions about what is their most popular menu items. We tried the Prime Beef Dip and the Wagyu Beef Curry . Freshly prepared and served hot. The Dip sandwich was accompanied by a Spring Mix salad and vinaigrette, and Au Jus. The bread was perfect nice crust and good chew, nice amount of beef, and the Au Jus was delicious. The curry had a good amount of carrots and potatoes. The sauce was more like a local take on the standard Japanese curry, pretty good I ate the whole thing . Take out only. There's ample seating in the food court area. Worth a try

Strawberry matcha latte

This little shop is tucked away next to the Donki okazuya/food court. They have a pretty diverse menu and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. I ordered the prime rib avocado pesto sandwich and it was so flavorful and the meat was super tender. Would 100% get that again. Your can upgrade to get fries instead of a salad for a charge. The fries were fresh and had a seasoning on it but you couldn't really taste the seasoning at all. I also got the strawberry matcha latte and substituted oat milk (for a fee). It was okay but the matcha to milk ratio wasn't quite right. Service was great especially with it being so busy. I would definitely come back again for the food but not sure about the drinks

This place was an absolute great find. It is a little hole in the wall place that you won't expect to see unless you're walking into Don QUITE. Its a cute little shop with a bakery and drink case and a simple but elegant and tasty menu. They are very friendly and able to answer any questions about the menu. The chef even came out to personally greet and thank us for coming in. We will definitely be back again soon. If you are in Pearl City and craving some ono grindz, come check out Naks cafe.

Got the prime rib dip sando. Tasty sandwich, but feeling undersold by the looks of other people's pictures. It was midday Monday, took ~20 minutes for my order. I asked the cashier for a sample of the chimichurri sauce..it was nice and tangy. If I find myself here again, I might try that sandwich, but kinda afraid to be underwhelmed.

Variety of drinks

I found myself in the area again, and I really needed some caffeine. Naks was open, and of course, I went into the wrong door! LOL! After entering, I didn't know what they also had to offer, I mean, I did see a picture of mushroom fettuccine, so why not have lunch too! Naks shares a dining room with some local food vendors. After I ordered, the friendly woman said she'd bring it out to me. I also ordered an iced latte which was very good! And then it came out! It was beautiful! It was delicious! It was gone!!! Some places, it's just swimming in sauce, this one has just the right amount. This is one of those hidden gems that is worth checking out, maybe before or after shopping at DQ or H-Mart. Mahalo Naks!

My pasta was good. Only took 10-15 mins. Friendly staff. It's kind of in a hidden spot I would come back.

Cute little cafe with huge menu selections. Located right in front of Don Quijote Pearl City. Didn't know about this place. Just happens to see them while leaving H-mart. Decided to get drinks. I got caramel macchatio. There was no wait. Got my coffee in less than 5 minutes. Really disappointed in the drink. Didn't taste the caramel at all. Just strong coffee. A little pricey for small cup. I did look around at their menu. They have great selection of desserts that look delicious. Huge selection of foods items. Food look delicious. I will come back to try their foods. Seeing their price are pretty reasonable. And they have a few pasta dishes.

Wagyu burger combo with side salad and yuca fries ($1 upgrade)
Lani H.

I decided to give this place a try today after walking by many times. It's a cute little place tucked into the Don Quijote food court (there is an entrance outside that you can also use). The menu is quite large for such a small place and the offerings all sound really good. I decided to get the wagyu burger that came with a side salad and fries. I saw that they also had yuca fries, which I'd never tried before so asked if I could upgrade my regular fries for them, and they said yes, for $1 extra. The food was really good, the side salad comes with a yummy vinaigrette, the yuca fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle, and the cheeseburger was nice and juicy. The only down side to this place is that it's a little pricey. I will definitely go back to try other things.

WOW. I don't eat burgers often but every now and then I crave them so badly. Stopped by after…read moreexploring the food court here. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, cute diner type vibe with local southern fusion comfort food. I'm really picky about burgers and this one really fulfilled my craving. I ordered the "old school" prime burger. The beef is super flavorful and has just the right amount of char. You can tell they make their patties in house it was perfectly seasoned it looks huge when they place it in front of you but the buns they use actually make it easy to eat/bite into without making a huge mess. There's something nostalgic about the way these taste that I can't put my finger on so maybe that's why they call it "old school". Prices are reasonable, portions are spot on. Service is friendly :) I came in for lunch but noticed they have a cooler with some beers and a liquor license! Will definitely be back with the boyfriend next time we are craving some burgers and cold beer.

It's on the top floor in the food court. Parking assured with the mall. They have escalators if you park on the lower levels. Sometimes the elevators are.Operational. Have to say the food is not salty like it used to be. We had the mushroom truffle prime brisket burger. With substitute truffle fries.- ask for the sauce to be put on the side. The cook misunderstood and did make a new set of fries for us. I personally prefer light sauce. My husband had the chicken and brisket plate with his substituted with the Yum chicken. Besides include rice and the cheese bread. The location was clean and ice water was offered. We did take out as well

If you order takeout there's one menu online but if you dine in there's a happy hour menu from 3-6 plus bar menu. The catch if you dine in is that there's a 2 drink minimum per person at regular prices. All dishes came out piping hot (except ahi poke) and fresh . The happy hour dishes were wonderful, especially the manapuas! The spicy pork cheese manapua were great and a bit different. The chasui manapua were delicious. Garlic fries were extra crispy, lots of garlic but greasy. The poke fresh and lemon pepper salt wings crispy but juicy. So all in all a great option for happy hour goodness.

A friend of mine posted food from here on his story and it looked so good I had to ask where it was…read morefrom so I could try it for myself. Location: Kitchen Deja Vu is located inside the Blue Tropix Bar & Grill, which just so happens to be right across the Chili's from Pearlridge Center. Parking: Plenty! You can park anywhere in the Pearlridge Center parking lot Food: We ordered 5 items 1) pan fried pork cheese buns: 10/10 - pillowy soft bread expertly soaks up all the juices from the pork filling, perfectly pan fried bottom adds a bit of crunchy texture, pork filling was seasoned well and there was a decent amount of cheese inside as well (it was giving pizza flavor vibes), supposedly "spicy" but it wasn't too bad at all so this would be good even for those with a low spice tolerance 2) pulehu style short ribs: 10/10 - incredible smoked and grilled flavor, cooked and seasoned to perfection! They're not stingy either, nice portion size and a hearty amount of meat on each short rib too 3) big shrimp potstickers: 11/10 - succulent pork & shrimp filling filled to the brim of wrapper! Very on brand because these buggahs was massive and sooo tasty! Classic potsticker taste and there's a whole shrimp in there too, paired with their shoyu vinegar (I think) sauce and wooo this one was winnnahz ‍ 4) charsui udon: 10/10 - nice & chewy udon noodles and absolutely loaded with charsui and veggies that were so wonderfully stir fried allowing them to soften just a little but remain crispy, adding another layer of texture to the dish and ensuring you get a nice little crunch in every bite! 5) kau yuk (caramelized pork belly): 10/10 - big chunks of sweet & savory pork belly, but not as sweet as the name would have you think. It's actually perfectly balanced, you can definitely taste some authentic asian spices going on in there, and the meat was nice and tender Service: 11/10 We ordered take out but you can absolutely dine in if you wanted to, plenty of booths and/or tables to choose from. But I did wanna mention that we were lucky enough to meet Charlie, the owner! Really nice guy, after we gave him our order, our server Kyle took such good care of us. Checked in on us multiple times & offered to get us some water while waiting for our food. Overall: 10/10 Food was delicious, the chefs obviously know what's good, hats off to them! First time trying this place out and it didn't disappoint and love that you can also order directly from your phone through all major food delivery apps or you can even text your order in, how convenient!

NOTE: I went before the move to the new location…read more This spot has been on my list of place to check out for sooo long, so the second my partner and his friends I jumped at the opportunity. We got there at around ~12:10, and immediately realized that they got a line. Since the establishment is pretty small, around 5-6 small tables, and the seated parties were pretty large, it took a while for the line to move. They have a sign that says they stop dine in at 1... after waiting for almost an hour, they said they would take us in and the one other party behind us can do a to go order. We asked if we could put our orders in already while in line to avoid wait(s) but they said the food would come out pretty fast (which they kind of did). They were out of a few things when we tried to order but I understand since it was the end of their business day. It is a casual spot, they use paper plates and we ordered at the counter. They do bring the plates to you and they do clean your table when you leave. Water is also self-serve (they have a pretty large jug by the register, but it was out of water by the time we dined, so we got bottled waters instead. My partner and I got: * Ube Cheesecake French Toast: 8/10, this was good, but definitely would be much better if it had more filling within. It'd say theres around only 3-4oz of filling within, which is very little compared to the large cube toast. Also it completely toppled over two seconds after arriving at the table. * Side of Corn Beef Hash: 7/10. This was solid, I like corn beef hash in general. My partner didn't care for it. I wish it was more cooked (like having a crust on it), I feel like most of it didn't have a sear on it, so there wasn't much of a textual contrast. * Short Rib Poutine: 10/10. Wow this was so good. The tater tots were crunchy, the inside was semi fluffy (like a regular freshly fried tater tot) the cheese, sauce, and the short rib just completed the whole thing. It would be PERFECT with a bit more cheese in my opinion (and maybe even more meat, cause that never hurts). But it was super goodl * Short Rib Benedict: 9.2/10. This was also very good. Their short ribs are tender and perfectly cooked in my opinion. Not dry and extremely flavorful. I would definitely come back for their short rib, especially in the poutine format. It was so good and addicting,

I'm happy they got a bigger place to sit more people. My friend kept asking to eat here from before…read morethey move to this new place but it was too small and a long wait. But once we found out they have a bigger place, we decided to check it out! First you need to put your name on the list and the whole party needs to be there to give your order and sit. I like to try other restaurants Loco Moco. Hamburger patty and gravy all over makes seals the deal! So excited to try my loco and first bite my patty was dry. Gravy was good. I didn't enjoy my meal. Maybe it wasn't a good day for loco moco. Friends ordered: Hash Brown with Kalua Pig - so good French Toast - tall and moist Regular bacon and egg plate - good Side of Tater Tots - crispy, plenty and very good! Also, they have a family bathroom. It's big and lots of room to bring someone in a wheelchair but warm. No a/c inside. I would come back to try other dishes. Located in Pearl City!

However, they told me they don't take reservations and to just walk in. Well, we got there and had to wait 58 minutes before we got seated. Pro tip: just have them put you down on the list. Don't listen about not taking reservations for large parties. I found out after that a group of 8 got reservations for 6:30 so I was quite unhappy about that. It didn't help that there was a table with 3 people who were there since 3pm (it was already 7:58 at this point) who were still occupying the tables and the staff couldn't make them leave. They eventually moved them to another smaller table, but they could have done that sooner, just saying. Not the restaurant's complete fault, people can be extremely inconsiderate but there maybe should be a system for dealing with these types of situations. All they had were empty bottles, they were not ordering anything. Anyway, we finally got seated, and as expected, the food didn't disappoint. We got the Tasty Chicken (always a must), boneless kalbi (super tender and flavorful), loco moco (one of the best on the island) and oxtail soup (theirs is pretty solid). We also got pumpkin crunch, strawberry crunch, and cream cheese brownie. Everything was amazing as usual and they all said it was the best food they had on-island during their trip. The food was worth the wait, but, that wait could've truly been avoided. It's not somewhere you take a first date unless you are bowling because it is super loud. It is located in an out of the way, not really scenic spot. Parking can be a bear. But it remains to be one of those tried and true "local" spots that never fail to please. *Rating is solely for the food and reliability of the excellent flavors and quality of the food

Terrible Service and Extremely Unprofessional Staff…read more We had a 2:00 PM reservation to celebrate a birthday, and what should have been a special occasion turned into an incredibly disappointing experience. We arrived at Black Angus Steakhouse at 1:55 PM, and there was only ONE other occupied table in the entire restaurant. We were greeted and seated, and at 1:57 PM, our waitress stopped by and said, "I'll be with y'all shortly." Fast forward to 2:15 PM--still no waitress, no one to take our order, and not even a glass of water. Mind you, the restaurant was practically empty. We finally flagged down another employee and asked if we could place an order. His response was, "Oh, let me check on that." We explained that we'd been waiting nearly 20 minutes without even being offered water and told him we were leaving. Instead of apologizing or showing any concern, he gave us a rude, dismissive look and said, "See ya." Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable customer service, especially when we had made a reservation specifically to celebrate someone's birthday. This was actually our second visit. The service was better the first time, but the food was disappointing. The prime rib was bland and lacked seasoning. We decided to give this place another chance, but clearly that was a mistake. Thanks for wasting 20 minutes of our time, Black Angus. On the bright side, you saved us money! We walked across the street to a yakiniku restaurant, where we were promptly served and actually got to enjoy a meal. Bad food on the first visit, terrible service on the second, and a birthday celebration ruined by an establishment that couldn't even provide basic hospitality. We won't be returning.

This was the site of my 40th birthday dinner, and we were not disappointed!…read more My family and I often dine next door at Laliha Bakery and the food is incredible. Knowing that they are the same owners, we decided to try Little Joe's steakhouse for dinner. We made a reservation for 6 PM and when we arrived, the restaurant was already crowded.The hostess led us to our table , which was a nice four top, even though there are only two of us. It's nice and dark inside and instantly gives off those fancy steakhouse vibes. We were greeted right away by a polite and prompt server. He took our drink orders, and I had a glass of red wine. I ordered the Caesar salad and my husband had the clam chowder which was really good. We both ordered the boneless ribeye and a side of mashed potatoes and mushrooms. Everything exceeded our expectations. The ribeye was flavorful and delicious. The sides were incredible, especially the mushrooms. Everything was cooked to perfection! The only underwhelming this was the caesar salad. It was a little watery and didn't have a lot going on with it. But the croutons were homemade and yummy. Because it was my birthday, they gave us a free scoop of gelato. Yay! We paired it with the chocolate cake and it was the perfect ending to our meal. Don't hesitate to book a table here for your next special event.

Our steaks were cooked to our liking. We ordered medium rare steaks and they were all cooked to our liking. My husband's ribeye had slightly more fat than the other two ribeyes so he didn't eat the fat. The mashed potatoes, potatoes Au gratin and the bacon Mac and cheese were good. We ordered bread pudding but he apologized and said they were out of it. We went with Creme brulee and vanilla gelato. Both were yummy. The food and service were good!
