I met some friends there during happy hour but I arrived late. The food I ate was good. It was a bit oily but tasty. There wasn't a crowd during our time there during the week day. Waitresses were attentive and offered to fill my water glass. Other people came in and had pupus and pitchers of beer. I did not see the menu so unsure of prices.
I swear I remember drinking and eating here and everything just slapped. Maybe it's because I'm sober now? The food isn't the same as it used to be. Took a while to get seated even though the restaurant was lowkey kinda empty. Oysters weren't fresh and had a weird after taste to them. The pasta is their speciality I must say. Probably the only thing worth coming back for (and their drinks if you drink). But the ribeye wasn't that flavorful or tender. Just felt like any other ol meat. Vibes are there on weekend nights though if you for the right group!
My sister-in-law (SIL) invited me to attend the Earth, Wind and Fire concert at the Blaisdell arena. She was meeting up with her girlfriend and five others for drinks and pupus at The Social, on the second floor of the Ward Village Northeast parking garage. She found a parking space on the second floor (how lucky is that?) and we went to Nordstrom Rack and TJ MAXX as we were early. This was my first visit to The Social. You enter via a single door and walk left down a hall past two sliding entry doors (on your left) that aren't used (strange), and find yourself in a long, relatively narrow space with three rows of tables ending at the kitchen. There must be more to the place than I saw because I didn't see the bar nor a large room that I saw in pics on Yelp. My SIL and I ordered Monkey 47 gin & tonics ($10ea) while her friends ordered a house red ($8), a JPOP Chu-Hi ($8) and food. We ended up with Garlic Chicken ($21.95, more like popcorn chicken), Truffle Parmesan Fries (16.95), and Shrimp Spring Rolls ($18.95). The latter looked like crispy cones and was served with a sweet, chili sauce. The (relatively small order of) Fries came with small containers of Ketchup and Aioli; the Chicken came in a bowl. The others at our table ordered tofu salad and sliced steak, which they shared with us. The food was tasty and well presented. My sole quibble was with the fries ... It was way too small an order for the price charged. I liked the place but the hard surfaces (floor, walls, and ceiling) made it pretty noisy. The highlight for me ... $10 for a Monkey 47 gin & tonic ... A steal!
I went here twice and no matter which dish I tried so far it didn't disappoint. Honestly the food taste better and more savory than it looks. The fries and pasta were particularly good and flavorful that we ordered seconds. It was addicting. We ordered (on different occasions) garlic bacon fried rice, kalbi, steak, garlic fried, truffle fries, truffle bacon penne pasta, dynamite chicken, fish and chips. The food can seem salty to some people. Service was okay. Clean restaurant. Overall, I would definitely try other things on the menu.
We decided to give them another try after going years ago at their old location since we were shopping in the area. It seemed to be a slow day for them but two other tables came in shortly after us. The girl who sat and served us was very nice & checked on us often. We got our drinks in a timely manner but the food took about 45 minutes to get to us after ordering. The table who ordered before us got their plates one by one at separate times so I knew kitchen staff was low that day. When our food came out it was presented nicely, but the burger patties seemed unseasoned. I believe they're previously frozen which ok since they don't specify it's made in house but it just lacked seasoning unfortunately. It's not too loud In there, lots of TV's to watch sports & I saw the girl happily change it for an other table who wanted to watch something in particular. They were also out of a couple things which the server made us aware of, later I overheard more things were out after another couple tried to order. The service was great but the food was ok.
We watched to get some food after work and pulled up to The Social. They didn't disappoint us the food was delicious but The Social Steak was amazing. Topped off with some pickled onions on top and the sautéed mushrooms under it was a great combination of sweet and sour. Pitcher Beer specials on tap went along great with the food. Also must try is the Penne pasta along with the steak was awesome.
Hanging out in the south shore market place is fun, until you realize a lot of places close early and fast food options become smaller. I have never tried the Social and was in luck when we found out it was open and they could seat us. There was an insurance group there so the place was pretty busy. We had a group of 5 with a baby. The place was quite loud so looking back it probably wasn't the best place to catch up in. Menus are QR code only so if you want a physical one, you might have to ask for it. But we were not provided one . We ordered a few dishes and they came out rather quickly. My favorite was the brusselsprouts and least favorite was the truffle fries - only because they were great The second they came out, and after that they tasted stale. We ended up getting a salad, some fried rice, Kalbi, a burger and pasta. I think everyone enjoyed their dish, but to me it was bar food. It looked like they had a lot of drink specials going on and we just missed happy hour food specials. There were a lot of TVs playing different things. Service was good. The staff was very attentive and we were able to hang outside and chat in a more peaceful setting. Parking was packed on a Thursday. But they have a dedicated parking structure right off the entrance which is convenient.
The Social is located in the South Shore Market in Ward. It's in the same shopping mall with TJMaxx and Nordstrom Rack. It's such a convenient place because you don't have to worry about parking. In addition to that, the place is pretty clean and spacious. It's a good place for a small gathering. I will have to say that it's kind of in the pricer side; but the portion and the amount of food is pretty good. With this economy and located in the Ward area, it's understandable. Truffle Bacon Penne Pasta 4.5/5: Surprisingly, the overall dish was not salty. It's actually pretty good for such price. The pasta is cook enough that's not overcooked or under cooked. It already comes with bacon, but I added grilled chicken for extra protein. The chicken is not salty, and it's tender and flavorful. Garlic shrimp 4.5/5: It's a food truck style garlic shrimp with rice. I will definitely get it again because it's sooo good! However, I do have to say that the shrimp was actually pretty salty. Buttt, it's sooo flavorful. You can tell they are not petty in garlic and butter because they put a lot of garlic and butter that each piece of the shrimp is coated evenly that absorbs the garlicky flavor. The shrimp is fresh and not overcooked. If you like rice, the rice will taste like heaven. The rice soaked all the garlic butter sauce, and mix it/eat with the garlic and the shrimp, it's just the right tastes.
Great service, ambiance, and food! We stopped by for a quick late dinner and they were amazing! It has a college dive bar vibe but also could be family friendly! My daughter enjoyed her spaghetti and meatballs off the Keiki menu and thank you chef for accommodating her request to have the sauce separate lol We loved the uni mentaiko pasta and brussel sprouts! Bring a jacket though bc the AC was blasting.
I'm very surprised the amount of pictures I don't have from this place by how often I go here. One of my regular spots. Pre-game, hangout, "chill" night out. Definitely "let's get one drink" place that never actually ends up being that. Waitresses and bartenders are so nice and helpful. They come around very often and check on you a lot. It does get crowded on certain nights, but they do a great job on making their rounds. If you sit at the bar and are willing to drink, the bartenders will feed you. Don't get me started on the food. Not your average bar food. Excellent dishes for sharing or personal. But it's a great shareable/family style. Great time for dinner. Their happy hour is also great! They also have great cocktails. Their matcha old fashion is a great sipper. But just came across a new drink called "BOB". So good. If you like tequila and want a good shot, order a PWK. It's a tequila orange shot with lemon and li hing as the back instead. Very nice and easy to go down. One of my fave places. Come and enjoy and have a great time. Food Recommendations: -Parmesan Truffle Brussel Sprouts -Dynamite Chicken -Honey Walnut Shrimp -Hamachi Crudo (prefer jalapeño, but going scallion good too) -Parmesan Fries -Chef's Ribeye (Social Ribeye also good) -Uni Pasta (A MUST TRY) -Oyster Shooters
We came here after an event and it was a great hangout spot. They are opened late, so you can talk story all night with friends. The food was good and there was a big variety. Service was good and pretty fast.
Located at Ward- above TJ Max & same floor as Nordstrom Rack. You can enter through the parking structure. They're on the second floor take the escalators up. Casual restaurant and bar . Amazing food. We came during happy hour (unexpectedly). Great surprise! From the happy hour menu, we got the truffle & Parmesan fries, the Pulehu Ribs it came with rice and these amazing pickled onions. We also got oyster shooters. It came with six of them in separate white soup spoons. This is our first time here indefinitely not the last. Service was great, friendly and upbeat!! Thank you Kristina!!
The Oyster shooters, Hamachi and Brussel sprouts are great. Say hi from Art and Barbara to Keno, the bartender if he's there, he makes great mai tais. By the way, it's located on the second floor. Take the elevator or escalator between TJ Maxx, and the parking structure.
I've been going to The Social since before they moved to South Shore Market, and the food and service have always been good. We haven't been back in a while because we honestly forgot about this spot, but this visit reminded us why we love it! We ordered takeout and got the Social Moco and chicken fajita quesadilla with truffle parm fries. Everything was cooked perfectly, and the Social Moco was PACKED! The service really stood out. Before handing us our order, the guy noticed some sauce leaking and took it back to clean it up before we even noticed. A little spilled sauce wouldn't have bothered me, but I really appreciated that extra care.10/10! Definitely coming back more often. read more

Service 3/10 - We first wanted the oysters out first and it ended up being last. About a 20 minute after we got out food. She lied about the fried rice "feeding 4 people". Didn't refill the water. Food 3/10 - We ordered the garlic bacon fried rice and it was a basic fried rice. I don't recommend. Got the garlic fried chicken boneless. Also don't recommend. The Uni pasta was the best one. The oyster shooters came out last even tho we wanted it first. We order it twice. The first time was good but nothing special. The second time was horrible. The plate was a mess and they both tasted completely different. Would I come back no! Would I recommend this place to anyone no! read more
My friends wanted to eat here since one of them was craving their fried rice. It was my first time trying this place and was looking forward to it. This place is located on the second floor of South Shore near Nordstrom Rack. This place was spacious and had a bar style vibes. There is a bar counter in the back as well as a lot of dine-in tables. Dynamite fried boneless chicken bites: We got this on their happy hour menu. The chicken bites were good. It was large and meaty. The breading was good. Crispy and seasoned. It wasn't hot temperature wise though. Garlic bacon fried rice: Wow, absolutely love this fried rice. So much flavor and very savory. The yellow pickles in the rice were very smart. Adds some crunchy texture and tangy taste to it. Fish and chips: The fish was good, moist and golden crispy. The tsukudani aioli was delicious. A very different aioli sauce. We got an upgrade on the fries and chose the truffle parmesan fries. Good truffle flavor and the fries were thin and crispy. Not enough parmesan on top though. Overall, really enjoyed their foods. The portions were big and perfect for sharing. The service was not bad, our server was friendly but she did disappear afterwards so we had to go to the bar counter to fill our waters on our own. It wasn't busy during the early evening hours but I can see this place pick up later toward the night. read more

Such a great place for a social gathering hence the name of the establishment. The atmosphere is casual and fun. A bar in the back with tons of seating if you want to dine in. You can also play darts. Drinks are great, servers and bartenders are kind and serve you in order (they don't skip you to go to serve their friends first like in other bars). Let's talk food -- I highly recommend the uni pasta!! It's creamy and savory at the same time. My description of this dish doesn't do it justice so you'll have to just go and try it. The loco moco is alright. I swear, I think mine tasted like dish soap but my friends loco moco tasted fine. At least we know they clean their dishes well hahaha. The penne was also a really good dish. Honestly all their food is pretty good. read more
Always a chill, but fun night at the social! I love the atmosphere & happy hour. The food is okay, we thought the Brussels sprouts were a little salty for our taste, but overall enjoyed the meal! Our waitress was so sweet & we had a great night. Also that mai tai is huge haha. read more

Came here on a weekday to get some drinks and food. There's 2 dart boards and plenty of seats and parking. My friend and I ordered dinner. I got garlic shrimp and my friend got the fajita tacos. I really enjoyed the garlic shrimp. Lots of garlic with some chili oil. I'd definitely get it again. Social is clean and has lots of food options. The price for food is slightly pricey but definitely delicious for bar food. Service was friendly and prompt as well. They will card you so make sure you have your ID. There is happy hour 4-6pm on weekdays as well! read more

My 4th time here! The Uni pasta is my favorite. I order it every time. The oyster shooters were delicious as well. Other favorites are the kalbi and loco moco. Service is excellent. Restaurant and bathroom is clean. Definitely recommend. read more
Always walked by this restaurant but never went in until today. After walking around the ward area, we started feeling a little hungry. We decided we didn't want a full meal and just wanted pupus. And from where we were sitting, I didn't want to walk too far and so we looked up the apps at The Social Club. Great timing, it was another 7-minutes until they opened at 4 pm. We headed down. The doors were closed but the sign said OPEN. We arrived the same time as another couple that caused the sliding doors to open at 3:58 pm. A staff member came to the door at 3:59 pm and he sat us first as the other couple was waiting for their friends. Love their promptness. All TVs were on on both sides of the restaurant. My seat was facing the TV with Spider-Man Far From Home and the TV next to it, the Steelers and Ravens game. While my sisters watched Avengers Ultron movie behind me. Super thirsty so we just had waters. Asked the server what apps are good and so we went with the dynamite chicken, the shrimp spring rolls and later, we ordered the zucchini fries cuz we needed some kind of veggies. Food was tasty. However, I did miss having ranch with the zucchini. Going through the menu, everything is reasonably priced. Not sure if because it was still early, but I liked the atmosphere a lot. And all that helped us were fabulous. I can tell that this is a great hangout. I most definitely have no complaints and look forward to visiting in the future. read more
Wow, what a great surprise! We shop at TJ Max weekly and we will make this our go to place for lunch from now on! Such a great menu and really tasty dishes! We shared the Uni mentaiko pasta (It was little too rich to eat all by myself- but really delicious!!!). It was perfectly complemented with the Shrimp spring rolls, light, crunchy and refreshing with the tart sauce! Next time we'll do dinner and also do some drinks!!! Can't wait to come back! Service was so friendly and warm too! read more
It's been 2 years since the last time we were here and we knew we had to come back. One of the drinks we enjoyed the most was the match old fashion. We went to Japan and still couldn't find a drink that was as good as the Social's. It's definitely a drink to try if you like matcha and old fashioned drinks. As for food, their loco moco with fried rice is really good. When we first had it, we were only going to share it between me and my husband. We devoured it and ordered a second one! We ordered it again when we came back and it did not disappoint. We also tried the uni mentaiko pasta and the oyster shooters. Uni is a hit or miss for me and I really enjoyed this uni pasta. It was just slightly too salty. Oysters were also tasty. We would order these again. There's a parking garage with plenty of parking. The restaurant is on the second floor. The restaurant has a bar and plenty of TVs so it's a great place to watch sports and catch their HH. The staff are great and friendly. We can't wait to come back here again when we visit Honolulu. read more

The Social Honolulu serves up delicious food with generous portions -- definitely best enjoyed family style. We tried the hamachi carpaccio, which was just okay, but the real standouts were the oyster shooters, mentaiko pasta, and the loco moco sub with garlic fried rice -- sooo tasty! We went on a weekday and they easily accommodated our group of 10+. Service was decent, and the hassle-free parking was a big plus. read more

Probably now one of my favorite places to come to eat and pau hana now. Located right below TJ Maxx in Wards, on the second floor. Parking it not too bad as it'll be during the late afternoon or evening time you'll come here. The entrance is open and welcoming, with someone always at the entrance to greet you and have you seated. When you get in, you'll see TVs posted throughout the place and dartboards available to play games. The bar is at the back of the room, and but there's lots of seating and tables. The menu is simple and has so much yummy food on it. My favorite is the oyster shooters for sure! I love how cute it comes out in spoons, and it's a good amount to share between two people, or for yourself. Also comes with a side of Tabasco for those who want a little kick. The dynamite chicken is really good too. It's not drenched in sauce which is nice because it doesn't get soggy. Again a good amount to share. The kimchee fried rice was good, it comes topped with an egg, and the yolk is always fun to pop. It's not spicy to me, but does have that kimchee flavor. The pipikaula my husband liked, he did say it was thick for him to chew, but it was a good amount for just him and not to share. Anyway, service was good. They came to check on you often, but when it does get busy, they may ask for you to open a tab. Will definitely come here again, especially for the drinks & oysters :) read more
Service was great as well as the food. Kind of a bar vibe but I was there for a party. Kind of casual, girls were wearing shorts. I love bar food in general but I think my favorites were the garlic shrimp and pork chops. We had so much food we had to leave some on the other table and I didn't try the Kalbi. I would go back again. read more
Chill spot to have dinner/drinks with friends. Quick & friendly service. Good food overall. I loved the truffle penne pasta with bacon; will definitely come back for that. Oyster shooters were fresh & flavorful. Kimchi fried rice was also good. There's also dart machines! $1 per person per game. Nice to burn some calories after such a filling meal haha. Free parking. Walk-ins welcomed. read more

WE DINED INSIDE AT 7:30PM ON A SATURDAY. Was served a $15 Old Fashioned and $9 draft beer in cheap plastic cups. Our fish and chips also in to go containers! It came out closed up in the to go box so of course super soggy. Plastics for every table in the restaurant. Cheap plastic utensils which broke each time too was super annoying read more

Haven't been here in a while. Was looking for some comfort food so I picked the social + it was Happy hour! Went on a weekday around 5pm. It wasn't too busy. Food came out fast. The menu has changed but food still good. Great service. read more
"That's why I cried. Because you didn't need connections with other people. And yet you chose me. Not someone else. Me." - I Want to Eat Your Pancreas I was caught in the world of work, work, work, anime, and Kdrama when my social butterfly aka BFF reached out to me and said "I was wondering if that guy is ghosting me again...". Ha! I promise I wasn't drifting towards the anti-social social club, just a case of not enough hours in the day. She asked if I was all-in on meeting at The Social Honolulu. Yes, to social skills! Upon arrival we were greeted to a full house with only bar seating. Since we planned on socializing over cocktails we decided to sit at the bar. The Social Honolulu does not offer a happy hour, however it offers a menu for all taste buds. And of course the cocktail menu is what brought us in. After perusing our menu via QR, we decide to start with cocktails. BFF starts with Matcha Old Fashion ($15) and I choose the Social Mai Tai ($14). We quietly had a chuckle seeing our bartender almost a dead ringer for me lol... homie with baby blue top, jeans & extrovert tattoos. Stylish:D We decide it was pasta night, so BFF craved the Uni Mentaiko Spaghetti ($24) - uni mentaiko cream sauce, ikura, mentaiko, fried garlic chips, green onions, kizami nori. I felt the Truffle Bacon Penne Pasta ($24) - bacon, black truffle pate, beurre blanc, penne, shredded parmesan. Orders placed we catch up on life and our goals for the new year! We both liked the vibe and even though it was a full house with club music going, it was easy to converse. A chill spot! The cocktails on par and aesthetically pleasing. Cocktails were not only tasty, but strong too! BFF insisted bartender favored me lol. Pasta ready so time to dig in. We shared a fork full of each others dish, but tbh we were more into our own. I loved the Truffle Bacon Penne Pasta and BFF felt the same on her Uni Mentaiko Spaghetti! Rich in flavors and Al dente! We were pretty satisfied, so just added Kewalos on Tap! It was a smooth choice to end our lovely social night! In the end, I'd return, but would love the company of BFF again. Not being anti-social, just adore her & our chats about life, my doppelgänger, French pastries, and bucket hats. Thanks BFF for bringing me out and surprise treating me to a fun social night!

This was the first time I've ever been to this place, tucked away on the second floor of the South Shore Marketplace garage. We checked out the menu outside for plant based items and found a few, so we went inside. It was just past 6:00pm so we just missed Happy Hour and it was early enough that the place wasn't too busy yet . Nicole was our server and she couldn't do enough for us. We were curious about a couple of the creative drinks on the menu & asked Nicole for her recommendation of the light seltzer drinks. We were thinking of lychee and that's what we went with. It was delicious so we took a photo of the can to see who else sells it. We decided to order the fish and chips (really ono fish (basa)) with a mayo/wasabi dip) and yummy, crispy zucchini fries with a yummy dip. Throughout the meal, Nicole and other servers checked in on us to make sure we enjoyed our food and if we needed anything. The place started filling up and getting louder, too. Besides the food & drink being great, service was outstanding!!! We will definitely be back to this place, and tell others about it, too. Mahalo Nicole, for contributing to our awesome evening. read more
