The booking was very straightforward, they don't charge a space rental fee as long as your party spends at least $1000 on food and drinks altogether. It doesn't have to be on one check, as long as it all adds up. We were able to decorate the area a bit for the party. Of course if you plan on partying here be wary of making too much of a mess or damaging things. Kiki then helped me preorder all the food for the party, and she also assisted with the surprise. Ashley was our server for the night and she did amazing! I was bothering her and Kiki and asking them questions all night and they were so nice and patient the entire time. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, it was as if they were family friends :) the speed of service was great too. I know we put the bartenders to WERK but the drinks still came out in such a timely manner. Finally, the food and drinks were BOMB. I've only been here a couple times before this, so I got to try a lot of items i haven't before at the party. Everyone was raving about the food! So many people who haven't been to DB grill before said they found their new spot. And if you like to drink, they have something for everyone. My grandma kept asking for more soju cocktails . The only thing I would warn about is that the AC is poppin upstairs, so bring a jacket. I would give 10 stars if I could. We love the DB grill crew!!!

**DB Grill was a mixed experience for a get-together with friends.**…read more The food was actually pretty good overall. We tried the wings and poke nachos, and both were solid. The portions were good, the prices were decent, and it's the type of menu that works well for sharing with a group. Service was okay. The staff wasn't overly friendly, but they were efficient. Parking was good, and the overall vibe was chill, though it did get a bit noisy. The biggest issue was the condition of the restaurant. The place felt pretty run down. The floors were very dirty, the seats were torn and patched with electrical tape, and the windows were so dirty that we actually thought the restaurant had shut down one day when we were walking by. The bathrooms were also pretty gross, even for a casual bar/restaurant. I wanted to like it more because the food itself was good, but the cleanliness and upkeep really took away from the experience. They definitely need to do a better job maintaining the place. I'd probably only return if I heard they had cleaned up and refreshed the entire restaurant.

If you're in Ko Olina, there aren't many spots to grab dinner outside of the resort restaurants, so…read moreMonkeypod ended up being a spot we went to multiple times on our trip. We ate here our first night of the trip and had an amazing time. I wish I remembered our bartenders name but she was amazing and such a good vibe. We first went to monkeypod while in Maui, and I fell in love with their jalapeno mashed potatoes so I knew I had to get an order of that, and it was good as I remembered! Other things we ate that we enjoyed were the cast iron shrimp. Great flavor, the only problem is that it comes with like 4-5 shrimp, and they aren't large shrimp. Wish this dish came with more shrimp. The cheeseburger was good but not great. If you are craving a burger, this one definitely will satisfy that craving though. The catch of the day tacos were surprisingly good. The bulgogi tacos were solid but I'd opt for the fresh fish tacos instead. For dessert we tried their banana cream pie since it was popular. This one I didn't get the hype though, just an average piece of banana cream pie. For drinks, the mai tai is definitely the way to go. That lilikoi foam, so darn good! We definitely threw back a couple of these and enjoyed every sip. Overall, considering there aren't a ton of options in the area, this spot is great if you are looking to satisfy multiple different cravings. The live music at nights really elevates the experience and whoever was singing that day was amazing. Would I go again? definitely!

This is a wonderful destination for a memorable family dinner while on vacation. From the moment we…read morearrived, the lively atmosphere and live music created an inviting and relaxed island dining experience. The standout dish of the evening was undoubtedly the lobster deviled eggs -- a creative and indulgent twist on a classic appetizer. The richness of the lobster paired beautifully with the creamy filling, and it completely convinced me that lobster absolutely belongs atop deviled eggs. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the thoughtful and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond in making our table feel welcomed, especially by checking in on our little one and kindly offering complimentary buttery noodles, which was such a warm and appreciated gesture. Between the flavorful cocktails, well-executed dishes, and exceptional hospitality, the entire evening was a delight from start to finish. I would gladly return on my next visit to the island.

It does come as a single link, but it's perfectly portioned for an average breakfast and leaves you feeling full and satisfied without being overly heavy. My husband ordered the country fried chicken and really enjoyed it. The portion size on his plate was especially generous. Of course, we had to try the pancake flight--it was delicious and just the right amount. I love having a variety without feeling overwhelmed. One small note: I ordered a regular drip coffee and found the price a bit steep $5, especially since it only includes one refill--so definitely be sure to ask for it to get your money's worth. Overall, this is a spot we'll absolutely keep coming back to!

Stopped in for a Loco Moco and left feeling like an inconvenience rather than a customer…read more I ordered at the counter and was never offered a place to sit -- despite plenty of open tables. When I was handed a bag and asked if I could eat in, one employee looked to the other, who replied "I guess" -- as if my staying was an imposition. I've been sitting here and haven't been offered so much as a glass of water. To top it off, I ordered my eggs over medium and they came out with a fully hard yolk. A small detail, but it matters -- especially when the rest of the experience is already falling short. Hard to recommend when both the service and the food miss the mark.

When the food eventually did come out the waitress blamed it on the kitchen and she said "we aren't even really busy but I feel like a chicken with my head cut off because the kitchen is taking so long for food orders" at that time we were like okay that's fine no biggie. Then we finished our food and were waiting for boxes, to place a cheesecake order, and our check. She was chatting with other waiters just taking her time. Eventually we place our cheesecake order, pay our bill and she asks if we want the cheesecake together or separate. We told her we would like them separate. That took another 15-20 minutes. We had to ask another waitress for help because our waitress was MIA. Again in the back just chattin with her co workers. We eventually got our cheesecake from another waiter and one of the pieces was missing. We told the other waiter and he said he would go check on it. Then our waitress comes around from the back with the missing cheesecake and said oh I thought you wanted this piece taken off? Umm what?? We paid for it and asked for it to be put in a separate bag. My mom and I both said we would not be going back. No thanks, terrible service.

Moani's at Ka Makana Ali'i is such a good spot, especially if you're going with a group. Parking is…read moresuper easy since it's part of the mall, which already makes the experience less stressful. The restaurant itself is huge with tons of seating, a full bar, and even a stage for live music/open mic nights which gives the place a really fun local vibe. The atmosphere felt super lively without being overwhelming. The food was honestly so flavorful and definitely more family-style/shareable portions, which I personally love because it lets everyone try a little bit of everything. Happy hour is also kind of a steal for both food and drinks. One thing I really appreciated too was the service -- everybody was super chill and welcoming, very family kine energy instead of overly formal or rushed. Also, shoutout to the AC because it was over 90 degrees outside that day and walking into that cold air felt life changing lol. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

It was definitely nice that they had an outdoor area as well as an indoor area with the bar. Plenty of seating bring your friends. Was happy to sit with the manager and the bartender and chat!

My buddy and I stopped by here specifically to get their smash burgers, but unfortunately, the…read moregriddle was down, so no entrée items on the right side of the menu (sandwiches, burgers, sausages) were available. Our server informed us that it had been off and on for the past week, but went down since Friday. Not good for only being open for a year. They only had appetizers and salads, along with their bar, which offers a wide range of beers and wine by the glass, along with cocktails. Since we were technically "working", that had to wait for another time. Our server, Erin, was so nice and apologetic, even tho it wasn't her fault. For obvious reasons it was fairly slow, for a normal Sunday lunch crowd. Since we were pressed for time, we ended up just ordering a couple of appetizers; the sausage bites and chicken. They were both tempura style battered, and served with sauce or mustard on the side. The sausage had a slight spice to it, which was nice, and it was served piping hot pot of the fryer. A fork would've been nice, but they were small enough to eat by hand, but be careful, because they're pretty tough to bite thru. The chicken bites were smaller and easier to handle, although they were a bit dry, so the ranch furikake dipping sauce helped. We were out within 20 minutes, so very fast, and I'm hoping the griddle gets repaired soon, so I can try their burgers.

I started with the Beef Luau, and omg. A steaming bowl of tender luau leaves with little "trinket-sized" bites of beef, rich and flavorful. And yes, I had to order a side of rice--because you just gotta have rice with this kind of dish. Then came the real dilemma: Fish & Chips or the Wagyu Short Rib Loco Moco. The only logical solution? ORDER BOTH. No regrets. Every bite was worth it. A huge shoutout to Chuck--one of the most knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely kind people I've met in this business. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in the service and the vibe he creates. And Al, who I believe is the manager--what a fun guy. For someone who hasn't been here long, he runs a tight ship. The staff is happy, helpful, and works together like a well-oiled machine. The energy in this place is just good. They've even got live music at 5pm and a solid pupu menu. This is way more than a one‑stop shop. I'll definitely be back to try more--especially the dessert menu. Ooh man. Thank you, Chuck, for an awesome lunch experience. And Al--keep up the great work. Marie

Not an extensive food menu--Food is standard bar food. So think, corn dogs, fries, nachos, type food. Not bad, not 5-star gourmet food. There are a lot of TVs everywhere--in fact we went there specifically to watch the fight. TVs can be seen from almost anywhere in the establishment. Drinks--standard drink menu for a bar. :) Now, what I liked the BEST about this place was the kid friendly atmosphere, meaning, there is a huge open, mostly gated grassy area for kids to run and play. There's also a sandy volleyball area, basketball court, and pickleball court. It feels really safe.

But if you're lucky enough to get deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious bar food at happy hour prices, & great service from an attentive staff, BOOM! Easy "5 star" rating on Yelp! One of my childhood friends came home to da 808, so we decided to do a small get together at 808 Craft House, as the the bar/restaurant was close to the Aulani Hotel (where my friend was staying). The restaurant has an open air, causal atmosphere, with several TV's for sports events. I didn't look at the menu as I was too busy chatting away & catching up, but my friend did the ordering & got several plates of Frrrrrrried Chicken wings, pizzas, & onion rings. Of course at "808 Craft House" they are known for their craft beers, so many glasses of beers were ordered that afternoon. Unfortunately for me, I no longer can partake in alcohol, but those beers sure looked refreshing. I was totally surprised about the parking situation for this strip mall. Why do I say this? Unfortunately at this strip mall, there is NO FREE parking at all (not the restaurant's fault). You have to use your smart phone & scan the QR code to pay for parking if you choose to visit any business on this strip mall property. I ended up paying $16.20 for 3 hours parking. That was the only bummer thing about visiting this strip mall.
