    Following Yelp's guidelines: FOOD (5 STARS), SERVICE (5 STARS), AMBIANCE (3 STARS) Why 3 stars for Ambiance? Well, it's because you're sitting outside in their so called "Patio" which is right up against the sidewalk. Here is my story: My host says "let's have dinner at this SECRET restaurant in Kakaako... Here's the Utube clip...." They don't advertise, they don't have a store sign, they don't, they don't, they don't. It was only after the Utube viewing did I get the name of the SECRET restaurant. Their menu is quite simple; you can have "Nabe" or "Yakiniku". If you order Yakiniku, you will definitely sit outside in their patio. If you order Nabe, you may sit inside the Establishment. So we had Yakiniku and sat outside (NOTE: MAX number of diners=12 and there is only one seating a night) Harami, Sagari, Beef Tongue, Kalbi and their night's special of rib eye cap was our choice of proteins and a couple of us had the egg dip (sorry, I was too slow to grab pics; my dining partners are not photo people and just dived into the food... ) We also had the salmon skin and green onion omelette with side order kim chee. Not the cheapest but this goes with the old saying "you get what you pay for" and I will admit the meats were absolutely delicious, selected and cut right. Street parking available. BTW, Maniwa Izakaya is part of Up Roll Cafe.... that should give you a hint as you look for them. It's aslo BYOB with $20 per bottle corkage A definite must try. Reservations necessary and can be made though DM on IG. Worth the wait as you will wait for you reservation date. As of recent, they are pushing 4 months out.

    @maniwa_izakaya by night @uprollcafe_honolulu by day. We secured a reservation (1-2 months wait) and I literally almost forgot that I had upcoming reservations cause I made it so far in advance What we ordered - Salmon skin $9 Beef tartar $19 Bean sprouts and Namul $8 Ahi yuukhoe $16 Salmon yukhoe $16 Green onion omelette $14 Mentaiko omelette $14 Special rib cap $70 Beef tongue $19 Baguette $5 Kalbi $25 Sagari $20 Harami $19 Senmai yaki $13 Pork toro $18 Garlic $9 Egg dip $2.50 Cold noodle $8 Clam soup $9 Scallion sauce $7 Tips - res is made by DM. You have to check their stories to see their availability for the following months and the entire month is filled within a day when released. ++ there is only one table per night and there is a minimum of 4 guests and a maximum of 13. Dogs are also welcomed ++ stick to the meats. We tried both of the poke and the salmon one was the better of the two. The ahi tasted like it was frozen and thawed out a few times. Out of the two omelets we ordered - the green onion one was the best and was actually recommended. BYOB with $20 corkage fee + $20 fee if you bring in your own cake (I wish I knew this one prior) Parking is street and it was pretty full around 6pm already. I had to circle the block a few times and found one near some condos 5-10 mins away.

There were a few people enjoying drinks and food, and while it is a smaller space, it didnt feel crowded at this time. The bartender was very nice and got our drink orders right away. Anytime I see an espresso martini on the menu, best bet I'm going to order it. And I'm so glad I did! I mentioned the hints of cinnamon and the bartender validated me saying the cold brew is infused with cinnamon sticks. 10/10 reccomend!

Not sure if it costs money to park in the lot. The place itself has seating inside and outside. We sat outside, and it was a nice evening. The place was not loud and the service was quick. The people working were very sweet! The place felt casual with wood tables and decorations. We decided to order a burger and macaroni. Both came out pretty quickly. The burger and the fries were yummy! The fries were pretty big and were good on their own. The burger was tasty and tasted like it had just the right amount of salt. The macaroni was also very good, with a decent amount in the bowl. We look forward to coming back and trying some other food items!

If you expect something that doesn't resemble a frat party, please look elsewhere. Arrived about 515pm, got seats. And waited. And waited. First clue. If my husband didn't want their wings we would have left then. Chased someone down to order wings and a well done burger. He ordered a beer, which he did get promptly. Could not hear one another speak. While waiting, I watched all the people seated around the bar get ignored when trying to get the waitresses attention. When hubby's beer was done and we were almost completely deaf from the young girls screaming with laughter a foot away, we attempted to find out what happened to our food. This was 30 min after we ordered it. No luck finding anyone who would speak with us. We left the pub area and walked over to the outside walk up area. We were ignored there as well by no less than 4 waitstaff, until a nice girl asked if she could help us. We pointed at the food sitting in open containers in the open air, and asked if we could please have our food. She closed the lids and handed it to us. We got back home and hubby enjoyed his wings. I was unable to eat my raw hamburger, which had been ordered well done. One extra star for his beer.

    Hana Koa Brewing is definitely worth the drive or bike ride because it's not in Waikiki, but the…read moretrip is absolutely worth it if you're looking for something a little different from the traditional beers you can get anywhere. The space has a more upscale feel, with a really nice vibe inside and plenty of tables. They have a great selection beyond their own beer, including cocktails, wine, non-alcoholic drinks, and guest taps. I especially loved that they offered smaller beer pours, which let me try several different beers without committing to a full pour of each. I was there for the beer, and I definitely wasn't disappointed! I was also really impressed by the food menu. They had lunch specials that sounded fantastic, and they even offer a brunch menu with special brunch cocktails. I wasn't hungry enough to try the food this time, but it definitely gives me a reason to come back. Great beer, a beautiful space, and lots of options for everyone. Definitely recommend adding Hana Koa to your Oahu brewery list!

    More like 3.5 stars...here's why…read more Attentive, friendly service the moment you step inside. Too many IPAs. If you prefer something else, the lager-type offering tastes basic. An afterthought at best, which is why we usually go elsewhere. Parking lot for convenience, but ONLY if you don't come at peak hours. Otherwise, it's a shit show. Why bad beer and iffy parking can be tolerated. Possibly the best fish and chips I've had on island and beyond. You get a generous, flaky filet fried in a crispy, golden beer batter with the proper proportion of fish to coating. It's paired with seasoned french fries that come hot and fresh. But. The rest of the menu is hit or miss. The burger was underwhelming. The grilled chicken sandwich arrived dry even though it was thigh meat. Some serious quality issues if that gets out of the kitchen. The list goes on. Honestly, I come back for the fish. And that's about it.

No wait for our party of 2, and we were sat immediately at a high top communal style table. It is a bar type establishment, with pour your own beers and wines on the wall. Not super noisy, but everyone was having their conversations and having a great time. Everything on the menu sounded delicious, and food walking past us looked amazing! The only difference to this establishment was instead of a server taking our order, we were instructed to go to the front podium to place the order when we were ready. We opted for the Fried Calamari with Cilantro Lime Aioli to start, and ordered the Chop Salad with Tofu and the Verde Bowl. The food came out so quickly, and we were actually surprised with the portion sizes for all the dishes. We were able to share the salad and bowl and still had enough to pack a take out box. Everything was delicious! I'm sure it can get busy on the weekends, but overall seems like a nice place to chill with good food, good drinks and good conversation. Wish we had more time to hang out!

Had sliced avocado and seeds, but mostly greens. The Grilled Cheese was mostly pork adobo and very little cheese. The adobo was on the salty side and didn't have the tangy adobo flavor, sadly. The bread was nicely buttered and crispy, though. Giant steak fries came with it and they were tasty. We both wanted to like this place but it seemed like only one guy was working the floor and the check-in/payment (don't like having to pay a tip in advance if service hasn't been provided yet) and serving the food. It looked like only one person was in the kitchen, too. It wasn't busy so we didn't have to wait long to be served. A plus.
