    Uni w/ Scallion Aglio Y Olio
    Josh O.

    Parking: Located at SALT with complimentary one hour parking and discounted rates with restaurant validation Service: table service Ambiance: cozy and intimate Food: went for their lunch offering an entree with house salad and foccacia or koshihikari rice. If you're an uni lover, would recommend the Uni pasta that comes with an ume stock, yuzu, and chili. Pastas only come with spaghetti noodle choice (its not my favorite noodle), but the toppings are delish

    Artichoke Karaage
    Reid H.

    VEIN at Kaka'ako is a great place for a nice dinner. Tried the Artichoke Karaage, Uni Carbonara, Miso Salmon with Risotto. Artichoke Karaage: the hearts were meaty yet not too chewy, and the leaves were light and crispy. The mayo was goooooood. Gave me fried calamari vibes. 8.5/10 Miso Salmon and Risotto: you think it's just miso-flavored salmon, but there's a something else there (and not just the risotto). This was the fresh catch option so not sure how often it's on the menu but recommend. 8.5/10. Uni Carbonara: normally skeptical of uni dishes, but this dish was tight. There were some magnificent bites. If you like the taste of uni and carbonara, or think you might, I think it's worth it to try, 9/10

    Came here around late lunchtime and absolutely loved it. Not sure what took me so long to try this local neighborhood gem but better late than never! Service was great, our server was very attentive. Compliments to the chef as all the lunch pasta dishes were light and didn't feel heavy but yet so rich in flavor. Each pasta dish had its own unique taste. It's hard to choose which I loved most because I loved them all. I tried the Uni pasta, Shoyu butter pasta, and Italian sausage Neapolitan. Safe to say I'll be back for Pau Hana next time to see what dishes they have in store for dinner!

    Uni Carbonara
    Taylor E.

    The uni carbonara was very decadent and rich with a generous portion. The uni complimented the sauce of the dish. Service was extremely friendly providing recommendations and consistently checking on our table. The restaurant itself has a unique garage style entrance but creates a high end feel inside to match their menu items and typical prices. Definitely more of an upscale fancy restaurant over your everyday takeout location. But the pasta happy hour is definitely a plus and will definitely have me returning to try the other pasta dishes.

    Salt at Kaka'ako has a few amazing restaurants, and this is one of the OGs. Vein is a trendy, Japanese-Italian influenced restaurant that is perfect for a nice date night or meal out. If you don't want to break the bank and give them a try, I highly recommend their Pasta Hour from 4:30 to 6 pm everyday for 18% off pastas and appetizers. While it's best to get reservations, I've always found that the staff will do their best to squeeze you in and find you a table. And even if they are slammed, you don't feel like they are rushing you through the meal service. The food is just as excellent combining flavors that are traditional Italian with bits of Japanese and local flair and ingredients. While some restaurants may have great food and okay service, Vein, and its staff, seem to go through great lengths to provide every customer with amazing food, drinks, and service.

    I've never been disappointed with this place. The menu since the first time I visited to my most recent visit has changed quite a bit but it still leaves a lasting impression every time. I recommend making a reservation as I saw people turned away as the night went on. Service was incredibly friendly and welcoming! I even got to chat with the bartender about his drink creative creations and it was so fun to hear the passion in his descriptions. These people really seem to like what they do and I love that. Between my date and I, we ordered two types of pasta (because if you can't decide, order both, right?!) and two sides as well as a fish dish. That lemon pasta haunts me to this day. I need to go back for more. Thursday was ladies night and all the drinks were massively discounted! I may have taken advantage of the discount and tried quite a few more cocktails than I typically would. We sat near the outside where we could people watch shoppers throughout Salt. Ambience was low light chill and elegant. If you're debating if this is a good place to take a date, do it. FYI If you have amex plat, you can use your $100 quarterly resy credit here as they are in the Resy system. Cheers

    Vein is a great lunch spot in the Kakaʻako area, offering a nice variety of lunch specials. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and timely, and the overall vibe was good. Since it's an open-air restaurant, it can feel a little warm for those who prefer air-conditioned dining. A nice bonus is that they offer validated parking, making it a convenient option for lunch.

    Hamburger steak
    Brian I.

    Went here for lunch and found that they have some great lunch specials. It's an open air restaurant so it can get a little warm during the day but the lunch specials are a great deal for around $20.00. The hamburger steak and shout pasta were probably the best.

    Dinner in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii... My calabash nephew wanted to take me to dinner and asked where I wanted to go. I told him that I hadn't been to Vein at SALT yet, so I made a reservation. Parking was free for an hour and a half in the structure - enter from Keawe Street. It's a paperless system. Scan the QR code, enter your license plate number, and pay online. Located on the ground level, Vein had an open-air, dimly lit, quiet atmosphere. Our server, Andrew, was so efficient that we made it back to the parking structure in time! Our water glasses were refilled promptly and we didn't have to ask for the bill. He made great suggestions and explained menu items competently! We ordered the Pre-Fix menu which included a green salad starter, pasta, entrée, and dessert of Bread Pudding! Both types of pasta were delicious because of the wagyu and sausage sauces. Both entrées (tender lamb and catch of the day) were tasty and had beautiful presentation! I wouldn't mind returning! Thank you, nephew Benny and server Andrew!

    Focaccia and salad

    This is my new favorite pasta! The spaghetti noodles are covered in a delicious brown butter shoyu sauce with pancetta and mushrooms spread throughout. Then topped with a cured egg yolk and furikake. Soooo good! Great service as well and a great spot for lunch with family and friends.

    Shoyu butter pasta with cremini and porcini
    Lorie G.

    Located in SALT on the ground level, our party of 4 came here for lunch. With 6 items to choose from, Vein made it simple and easy for people who are indecisive to choose. The prices are very reasonable for what you choose - starting at $17 for salad, bread or rice (depending on what you order) and entree. I decided to order the shoyu butter pasta and WOW!!! Umami screams from the dish. It comes with an egg yolk for you to mix into the pasta dish. With pancetta and shredded nori added into the mix, the flavor profile is rich, creamy, a little sweet, perfect amount of salt and totally stretch pants worthy ;). For $17.50, this is so worth it.

    Bascaiola
    Dee T.

    We've walked by this place many times and finally had a chance to try it!!! My bascaiola was REALLY tasty!!! It has small chunks of Italian sausage! I also highly recommend the artichoke karaage! It was really good with the sauce . . They have a pasta happy hour too!!! Bread would have made it a 5

    We had a nice meal with attentive and friendly service. Like the indoor/outdoor vibes of the restaurant in a lively location. Free street parking after 6 pm or reduced rate at their garage so long as you scan QR code. Good cocktails. The octopus appetizer had good flavors, but the greens to octopus ratio was off. Not enough octopus. The greens we also slighted welted and the octopus was slightly overcooked. As for our main entrees, they were both tasty and well cooked. The lamb was a nice portion for the price, but the black cod was quite undersized. Should've got it from Pioneer Saloon, lol. Crème brûlée was not good. It had a nice crust and texture, but it wasn't crème brûlée. It tasted like it was all cream and they forgot egg yolks. That's all I can think of right now and bon appetite.

    Aroma Italia - Monserrat | Waikiki-Kapahulu-Diamond Head area - Island of Oahu…read more Onolicious! Lately I've been dining on soups like pho and ramen, lamb curry stews, and snacking on real fruit smoothies, and I felt like I needed a change of pace. However, I didn't realize I had this burning desire until I saw the foodie pics here on Yelp. It was then that I seriously wondered how I could inject a little more variety into my foodie repertoire. I saw this restaurant listed on Yelp and immediately thought, Ooh, what about Italian??? :D Myself replied: Mmm, that sounds tantalizing, Jules Y.! :D After perusing the menu to make sure I wasn't gonna miss out on a thing, it only took a few seconds for me to hone in on the two items I ultimately ordered: * 16" Florentine pizza (gigante) * Gnocchi Gorgonzola with added mushrooms I added mushrooms to the gnocchi dish, which was a fantastic decision I would not want to go without on future dines of this dish. The pizza was a thin crust topped with luscious mozzarella, rough-chopped garlic, spinach, and ricotta cheese. The gnocchi contained chicken chunks, potato gnocchi, luscious cream sauce, and the mushrooms I added. The Florentine immediately caught my eye. I'm particular about not eating sausage, pepperoni, and other typical pizza meats, so this cheese-and-spinach combination was exactly what I was looking for. I expected something around a medium-sized pizza, but what arrived was this unexpectedly large pie sitting inside a huge, flat pizza box. It seemed enormous! The crust was thin with a nicely fire-charred edge, while the center was packed with luscious cheesy goodness. Random dollops of ricotta, spinach leaves, and these entirely unexpected little chunks of fresh, soft, juicy garlic created little flavor explosions throughout every bite. It made eating the pizza fun because each slice was a little different. Although I thought I was hungry enough to eat a lion, I naturally stopped after only a couple of slices. That turned out to be a bonus because I had delicious leftovers for lunches and dinners over the next couple of days. The Gnocchi Gorgonzola was a different experience altogether. Tender potato gnocchi were coated in a thick, luscious cream sauce with chunks of chicken scattered throughout. The mushrooms I added were thinly sliced and blended in perfectly with the gnocchi, chicken, and creamy sauce. My only criticism is that the dish was saltier than I would have preferred. I think using about half as much salt would have allowed the flavors of the gnocchi and sauce to shine through even more. Aside from that, every bite was pleasantly chewy, rich, creamy, and satisfying. The sauce was everywhere--and that is definitely a good thing. Yum! These two dishes complemented each other perfectly because they offered completely different flavors and textures. The rich, cheesy Florentine pizza paired wonderfully with the creamy Gnocchi Gorgonzola. If I eat here again, I'll probably order these exact same dishes. If you enjoy Italian food as much as I do, I suspect you'll enjoy Aroma Italia's menu.

Grace was so friendly and knowledgeable and professional. In addition to the food, Grace made the dining experience exceptional. We sat outside and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature was very comfortable under the roofed area. The Pinot Grigio was excellent! Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and Grace was an attentive server. The Caesar dressing is perfection! The diavolo sauce was delicious and just-right spicy. We loved the meatballs and the fettuccine was cooked perfectly. The pizza!!!!! Wow. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and the toppings were a delicious combination of flavors. The focaccia with marinara could have been a meal for me. The bread was hot and crispy while also being soft and savory. I couldn't get enough of the marinara. We had a lot of leftovers and ate some for dinner and still have more for tomorrow. Repetti's will be a new place for us to dine and bring friends as often as possible. We were so impressed and could not have wanted any of the experience to be different. Fantastic in every way!

Wait times were minimal between ordering, appetizers, main course, and dessert. Although I ate leisurely, I was there for about 90 minutes. The atmosphere is so enjoyable, especially if you get outdoor seating. Cool, quiet, intimate. . Salads with every entree as well as bread? Makes the prices worthwhile. Every pasta dish was delicious: baked ziti, fettucine, pesto sauce. 10/10. Pizza and calzones if you have someone in your party who doesn't want traditional. Service was great and at the end of the night I plan to be back! . Kids and dog-friendly! Eat in or take out - up to you!

    We had a family dinner--for eight--at Mangiamo by 604. I was excited to have my father and brother…read moreexperience this establishment, as I had a great experience two years ago. My father and brother are both military veterans and enjoyed the fact that this venue was situated at a golf course they patronized before. We all ordered drinks--I ordered a bottle of wine, taking advantage of the Half-off Wine Wednesdays; some tried the alcohol specials and others simply elected to have soda. I ordered a few appetizers for the table and those went quickly: calamari, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Yum! Main entrees followed and everyone seemed to enjoy their selections. We ordered dessert and were disappointed that they ran out of creme brulee...my father ordered the cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only reason for not giving five stars has to do with the outdoor seating. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, as we sat there for awhile, waiting for our server to take our large group order along with waiting for food to come out. There is adequate parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible. An elevator is located in the lobby for those who are not able to easily climb the flight of stairs to the venue. I wish the signage was better, as my 74 year old father took the outside steps, as he thought that was the entrance, per signage downstairs.

    I came maybe two or times in the past. The last time was the other year. I was bummed and felt…read moresorry for those who need to use the elevator to the restaurant and it wasn't working. I don't know how the elderly lady with walker was able to get up the stairs or they weren't able to dine there. I didn't mind this place. It's not like Assaggio, but more like Olive Garden. Food was okay but the view and ambience were nice, especially at Christmas at Night! It's a huge restaurant with seating for parties with a lot of free parking shared with the golfers at the golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. The last time, my friends weren't too impressed, but we did try variety of dishes from pizza, salad, pasta and appetizers. They have some specials from time to time. So sad that tomorrow is their last day of business according to my friend. Sad to see many restaurants are closing soon.

    I had the best birthday experience at Rigo this past week…read more Rigo is located in Kapahulu. It has a small parking lot and I believe they do valet in the evenings. Otherwise, you can easily park across the street in the Safeway parking lot as there's lots of stalls available. The atmosphere is always so elegant and relaxing with the dim lighting ambiance. I love the high ceilings and the mid-century architecture. From the appetizers to the main entrees, everything was delicious! We had the crostini's with prosciutto, honey, and mascarpone cream. That combination of crunchy, creamy, sweet and salty made this so good! For our entrees, we had the Bolognese and the seasonal Mushroom Duxelles Pizza. Both had their own unique flavors that were savory and flavorful without being overpowering. Of the two, my favorite was the pizza! Along with the flavor, I enjoyed the light crispy texture of the pizza. Lastly, for dessert we had the Chocolate Cassata. They brought the dessert with lit candle and aside from the good company, it made my birthday feel extra special. The service was great and our server was very welcoming, attentive, and kind. Thank you for the wonderful experience and look forward to coming back!
