    Spicy Garlic Shrimp with rice.
    John T.

    Best Spicy Garlic Shrimp with rice. BEST ON THE ISLAND!!! Great atmosphere, friendly service and accommodating management. Great music selection as well. Recommend 5/5 stars if you are looking to dine, or play a couple games of pool with pupus.

    Out in Kalihi and found myself inside of a true dive bar that checks all the boxes: dimly lit, a…read morepool table tucked away in the corner that probably isn't level, and the one regular who has his assigned seat at the bar. Underdogs is actually a lot bigger than it appears from the outside, which is sort of nondescript - so much that you could easily miss it from the street. Lots of dining seating on the inside and plenty of room at the bar. Lots of flat screens on the walls, too, so I'm pretty sure this spot gets crowded during football season. Like many other bars around town, they have open mic karaoke. This spot is country-music friendly, so make sure your Garth Brooks is on point. Lots of local pupus in their menu. Kind of hungry so we ordered the following: - Dynamite chicken - 7/10: I would say it's like chicken karaage with lots of Sriracha mayo drizzled on top along with bonito flakes. Large and shareable pieces for maybe 2-3. Very filling and tasty. - Fried rice with smoked meats - 6/10: large portion shareable between 2-3 people. Good dish and they give you a lot of smoked pork meat. Unfortunately, the pieces were quite tough. Rice was on point and flavorful, however. This is a great spot to chill with nice people in a comfortable, unpretentious environment. Go off the beaten path for once and check this spot out as a great time was had by all.

I pointed it out to the waiter and she said she thinks it's just a gnat that's been flying around and just landed on the pizza. I had to tell her, ma'am... this does not have any wings on it. it is not flying. it is not a gnat. She said she can take it back and get me another one if I'd like. I don't want anything from back there--y'all can keep it. eeeeeyuuuck!

    First time checking out Blitz. I dont often give 3 starts but here's the quick pros and cons…read more PRO: Convenient location and we were able to make a reservation on a UFC fight night. Comfortable interior and HUGe TVs this is a great place to watch sports. Service was very friendly but could have some improvement. Hamachi carpaccio was pretty good and fried pork belly. Cons: They didnt have any beers on draft which I thought was strange for a sports bar, I asked for a menu but they didn't have any drink menu available, so the poor servers had to constantly repeat what beers they had. It was a busy night but the food took a very Long time to arrive some things almost an hour. Servers need a little more training. Granted they were pretty;) BUT We had to ask for water, water refills, plates, utensils, serving spoons, reminded them to check with kitchen if food was coming. Overall I would go there again if things get better but well probably go to another place next time.

I guess they used already cooked and serve old stuff not fresh. Likelike has the Best Loco Moco. I think I miss the rush so get left overs. Bartender new Popolo girl didn't know if she had Coke Zero and instead of just refill she asked if need one, that's the 1st for me from a Bar. And of course Bar & Waitress taking shots with regulars and paying attention to themselves instead of taking care of customer,, soda empty 20mins for the first time unbelievable. But most Bar people drink on the job what's new. Gotta ask for refill wow. Not sure if I ever come back here.

Only difference now is they are a sit down establishment serving margaritas and the like. I try carne asada at almost every Mexican eatery I stop at and this place rises to the top. Authentic taste; as if you were somewhere in Mexico. Any menu item is well flavored. That's all you need to know. Oh, their portions are huge so be mindful when ordering. If I had to pick one thing bordering negative it is the location as they are on Kalihi Street well into the Kalihi Valley. But, you will get used to it after your first visit; afterall, it's worth the journey into the "valley" Couple things you should know and that is chicken enchiladas are not made daily. I think it's Tuesday and Thursday? Not sure but it is limited. If you don't already know, their Kapahulu location closed a few years ago. They do intend on opening another location in Pauoa Valley I'm told and another location in Pearl Kai... I hope I'm not spreading rumors.... Regardless.... get there or be square!

    Velvet Touch Billiards is the spot if you want a chill, no-frills place to shoot pool. Super…read morerelaxed vibe, with tables spread across 2 floors - love that they split up the crowd like that. The crowd: older, chill, not rowdy. So don't go there acting a fool - this is far from Hawaiian Brian's. Pricing? Shockingly fair. Saturday night, 5 people, about 2.5 hours... $64 total. About $6/person/hour. Hard to beat. Use of their pool sticks and chalk is included. They don't serve food or drinks, but they've got vending machines. If you're like me and like to be prepared, bring a small cooler. They do allow outside food & drinks, NO alcohol tho, so don't get too excited... ;) Now the downfall: THE SMELL. From the moment you walk in, you'll catch that lingering cigarette aroma. Blah! If you're used to Vegas casinos, no big deal. Werewolf like me? I avoid casinos because of that smell, so... that's that. Oh and second downfall is that the tables aren't far enough apart, so you'll have to exercise proper etiquette throughout your entire game. Time does lapse when both tables are occupied beside you, especially if those people lack awareness... so, bring your patience! Parking is a little adventure. There's a tiny lot behind the building, and street parking nearby. We circled the block a few times like lost tourists (Google Maps betrayed us again lol), but once we finally found the driveway, it was worth it.

It's playing 60s music when I was there. It's about $7/hour per person depending on the hour of the day. Only vending machine is available for drinks and snacks. Also recommend street parking.
