Kalua Pork Burrito
Ayro P.

Great service, decent prices, and not too many items to choose from. If you're looking for a quick breakfast, highly recommend. I was here during opening hours on a Monday before a flight, so naturally there weren't any customers yet. We were greeted and sat down promptly by a very friendly lady. There's an option to sit in their outdoor area facing out into the sidewalk or inside. We went with inside thinking it would be a little warmer but were met with the opposite. It wasn't too bad though, so we had no issue sticking with our choice. I decided to come here because I read their price point was decent, and can confirm. The menu doesn't have a ton of options, but I think they do a great job of having a little bit for everyone depending on what you're craving. There are some sweets, some small, and what looks like healthier bites, and some savory dishes. I decided to go with the kalua pork burrito and was very happy with my choice. Good portion, great ratios, and really enjoyed the side of tomatoes and salsa. The salsa wasn't really spicy in my opinion, but still packed a lot of flavor. I usually don't use all of my sauce, but I was cleaning it up with my burrito at the end. If you're looking for more of a punch, you can just ask for a side of hot sauce as well. We were in and out ahead of schedule, and paid around $50 for three of us to get a meal, with one coffee. An excellent way to round off our trip.

Mango soft serve

My bestie and I had dinner here last night and Chad served us... he was the best! So kind and personable. He made us strong and delicious drinks. We had the kalua pork egg rolls, chili green beans, steak, and mango soft serve. Would totally recommend coming here especially if Chad is working!

Poke tasted off - odd flavor profile. The sampler platter was pretty good. Service was slow and inconsistent. Our server went off shift in the middle of the meal and it took the new server forever to pick our table up. Nice bar area, was loud with all of the traffic on Kuhio avenue passing by.

Best $5 happy hour burger on the island!!! The bao buns are so good on their garlic Parmesan Fries are fresh, and crispy!! Lots and lots of garlic. We love this place. Service is fast, the open kitchen always seems clean. We love to be able to eat indoor or out. We love coming here and we love their happy hour! Drinks are pretty good! We come about twice a month! I do think the bathroom could be kept up better.

Winter specialties

Kanaaaaaaaaaak attack of the Kitchen Sink!!!!! Yup hungry for bfast - tummy wouldn't stop complaining! Kalua pig, brisket, hash, spinach, tomato, avocado, ahhhhhhh happy palate. Now, I usually like to spice my food up a smidge with some hot chili sauce or something a lil extra. Folks - when u order this - get some side of the cucumber kimchi - yer palate and tummy will thank you for that umami bomb exploding in yer mouth! K bough said! As always great customer service!!!!

$6 Mango Soft Serve
Misa O.

Suuuper friendly staff that accommodated us although they were closing soon. This $6 ice cream was my favorite sweet treat I've had in the 3 times I've visited Honolulu. Underrated and everyone needs to try it immediately!!

Located on the first floor of the Waikiki Market. We came back because of their $5 Happy Hour. Ordered the Kalbi Burgers and the Bao Bun. I enjoyed my local draft beer. Our server Danielle was super friendly and gave great recommendations on what to do while in Oahu. On this visit, I just wished their restroom was cleaner. Great food and deaft beer! Friendly service.

Mango mule, potato poke, fried mushrooms and dipping sauce
Danielle M.

Great Happy hours and vibes! Highly recommend the potato poke, delicious. The mango mule was also tasty. The fried mushrooms were good but if I get to go back I'd try the green beans. Wonderful last meal in Honolulu

Happy Hour Burger
Sierra N.

Pork belly bao buns were delicious... haven't met pork belly I don't like. The burger was ok. It was an experience. It's outside box of a burger I would eat but it was tasty. Service was good however I never got the drink I ordered.

Garlic soba
Carrie M.

Came for happy hour around 5pm ordered the Kalbi burger and garlic noodles with egg. The kalbi burger was only $5 and we each got one thinking they'd be small but they were actually bigger than a McDonald's cheeseburger. The patty was cooked medium and the addition of kimchi on the burger as it added this acidity and tang to the overall flavor profile. The garlic noodles with egg were not on the HH menu but totally worth it for $12. The soft boiled egg gave the noodles this rich creaminess and I enjoyed the texture of the noodles. The dish had some heat to it and I liked how spicy it was, it was at an enjoyable spice level. My husband got a yuzu cocktail and said it was really tart and yummy as well!

Couldn't wait to take a bite before taking this photo. Kalbi burger.  4/5
Peter C.

Looking for an amazing place to chill, has bar bites, and validated parking? Piko can be your place. They have two amazing and delicious bites that I crave for: Pork bao- fatty, oily, applewood, braise pork 5/5 Kalbi burger - juicy and would have been better without the Kim Chee. 4/5 Service is good, on point, and with smiles. Seating is available inside and outside. Take your pick.

Blue-green Hawaiian
John M.

As I searched for dinner options on my first night in Honolulu, I walked past Piko Kithchen & Bar and was immediately intrigued. The large, open-air space on Kuhio Ave., beneath Waikiki Market, is stylish, comfortable, and inviting, especially for someone dining solo. As I sat down at the bar, I was immediately greeted by a friendly bartender/server. I chose a great spot for my first Hawaiian meal! My first order of business was to order a world-famous Blue Hawaiian, which was delicious, (albeit looking more like a Green Hawaiian than a blue one!). For dinner, I decided to sample three of their signature dishes. Their PuPu Sampler is a menu option featuring three 'tapas' from their menu: Kalua Pork Spring Roll, Chicken Long Rice Gyoza, and Hawaiian Beef Jerky. All I can say is wow! These dishes are packed with such amazing flavor, I'm sure that any of the three would make for a great dinner choice all on their own. While there are so many dining options yet to explore here on Oahu, I'm definitely going to return to Piko before I go home! Nice spot, great, quality food!

To my surprise, on a Sunday evening after having dinner nearby at Maze, my wife and I walked over to Bar Leather Apron and we were able to get seated right away! In fact, around 7:30 p.m. when we stopped by, there was actually a ton of seating available in the bar. Who would've guessed. If you're in the same boat as me and are unable to find a reservation for your upcoming visit, I would encourage you to stop by and try a walk-in. The first page of the menu lists a wide variety of whiskey based cocktails. Most -- if not all, of the cocktails are pre-fixed with BLA (Bar Leather Apron), and represent a collaboration with the named distillery. If you're fan of whiskey, you'll definitely have a difficult time picking only one. I ultimately ordered their "Take Warning" -- 2021 BLA Knob Creek BLA Single Barrel, Cynar, Carpano Antica, Mezcal, Bergamot Salt. Drinks here are not cheap -- averaging $20 to $25 per drink. Although my drink was very spirit forward, it still felt very well balanced. I appreciated the hint of smokiness from the mezcal that rounded out the end of a sip. Service here quick and friendly. When we received the check, a cute small chocolate snack was brought over as well, borrowed from the menu at Maze. Overall, I can see why Bar Leather Apron has earned so many accolades in its field. Definitely worth a stop by if you enjoy the art of mixology.

Tucked on the second floor of a Piikoi Parkway building, it feels like stepping back in time, a true bespoke bar with vintage art, moody lighting, and comfy couches that make it perfect for couples or a night out with friends. We sat at the bar, which was a highlight, Michael and Tony were welcoming, easy to talk story with, and clearly know their craft. I went with the Barreled Old Man, a smooth, layered mix of bourbon, rye, and brandy that just worked, while my wife's Sesame Veil brought a nutty, balanced flavor that stood out. For round two, the Espressing My Love was a great take on an espresso martini, and Michael built my wife a custom drink off her favorite flavors and nailed it again. We paired it with the smoked mozzarella and salami grilled cheese and Ho Farms tomato soup, and this is where it really hit. The sandwich came out hot and crisp, and when you took a bite the cheese pulled away just right, that perfect melt, with the salami adding a savory kick. The tomato soup was fresh, bright, and made for dipping you didn't want to stop. We were welcomed with a table that had our name on it, a small touch that goes a long way. Prices are on point for the quality and experience you're getting. It's a bit of a hidden, hip spot, not for a quick drink but for when you want to sit, relax, and enjoy it. Parking is tight, but you can park at Ala Moana and walk over, and it's worth it. Next time we're coming back for Grandma's Old Fashioned and the pork belly bao buns. This isn't a bar you stumble into, it's one you come back to.
