    I've come here a bunch of times in the past and enjoyed it and thought the price was reasonable, but when I had called earlier to ask about private rooms they said come on down, didn't inform on any minimum payment and after taking a taxi they inform us at the door that private rooms are a $150 minimum and $2 a song. Realized ritz carlton was more affordable, cleaner, and better service. Too bad but won't be going back.

    We were here for the first time a few days ago. Service was attentive and for a very busy bartender I was impressed. She always checked in on us and took care of everyone else's drink orders from the tables and the karaoke rooms as well as the takeout food order. For food we grabbed the loaded fries, fried calamari and spicy gizzards. Everything was delicious but I whole heartedly recommend the spicy gizzards. It's so good. For drinks we got the watermelon soju, the lava flow soju, and the lilikoi soju. All three are good but we really liked the watermelon soju as it was made with fresh watermelon juice. Cafe Duck Butt. I highly recommend as an awesome little k-bar spot.

    My friends reserved a room here for a going away party. It was such a great night out. I had strawberry soju and we all shared delicious eats. The local style fried rice was amazing - highly recommend that. All of the food was great. Service was amazing, they checked back on us often making sure we had enough water, plates, and utensils for everyone. I highly recommend the private room for karaoke and fun for a safe night out!

    The wings have been my go-to food for over the last couple of years! If you want 1 order of wings, do yourself a favor and order 3 of them. It’s the type of food that will have you looking at the chicken bones wondering how it tastes sooo good. The staff is quick and smooth as always!!!

    Fantastic service and food. We had a large group and moved tables as more people joined us. We never started tabs or declared that we would have separate checks, but they kept our entire order organized from the start. We asked for our tab, and they immediately produced separate checks without us even asking. As someone who has spent years working in restaurants, this is a lost art that only requires a little bit of organization. I can't wait to come back for the amazing food and attention to detail.

    Love this spot for good food and karaoke. Always gut filling food and an ok selection of songs, but the shared spaces are very loud and the drinks are nothing to rave about. Typical loud Korean bar, but it could use a deep clean and a face-lift. I'll continue to go for late night grinds, but it's not my first pick for a night out on the town.

    Service was so good. We loved every recommendation. Very friendly. Food was awesome. You won't be disappointed

    You’ll either love this place or hate it. We loved it. Food is on point and far from pretentious. Favourites were the tacos and the gochujang chicken. Go if you like spice, flavour, graf, and hip hop. Don’t go if you want porcelain, stiff upper lip and tablecloths.

    Great time, flavorful drinks. Can get your own karaoke room or a table in the main room. Got all the songs you need at only $2 a song

  • 4/5 Joe M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fun place, attractive staff and hey can even get a room and sing there. Service was just ok. Plenty of time we had empty drinks and a couple of time had to actually go out and grab a server. All in all a great place to hang out with friends.

  • 5/5 Ronnie L. 2 years ago on Google
    I love this place. It's kind of a small bar, in a sketchy-looking street in Kakaako, and has a ridiculous name, but the place itself has tremendous character and is loads of fun. Coming in here, you see the darker lighting and slightly purple-ish tint? Then there's TVs playing Korean pop music videos. The music went from Korean pop to Reggaeton. Overall, a fun place to visit if you like soju and Korean food.

  • 5/5 Ben K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cool little place. A bit of a weird vibe with the music, but food was good and the soju cocktails were tasty and fun.

  • 4/5 Kerri M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was pretty good but they didn't have quite a few of the menu options. Service was good too. Pretty dark for a restaurant in the afternoon. I guess it was down an alley though. Wish we could have tried the duck butt chicken...

    The ambiance is not as inviting as I was previously informed by friends considering that the interior wasn't great and the floor wasn't maintained. All I kept thinking that it's a bar but with a visual mess near the restroom. The food was good and the service was alright. It's very dim to see what you're ordering from the menu or eating. I guess you can say it's more of a sports bar/karaoke type of dining.

  • 1/5 Elizabeth F. 2 years ago on Google
    discrimination at its finest. we sat at a table (yes, tourists) and a server came and set a reserved sign up. we went to sit at the bar, and they asked us to sit in the corner. unless you’re a local, i wouldn’t give any money to this establishment. this is a place in a “touristy” area that discriminated against tourists. if any common sense were present in this business establishment they would realize that business is business. instead (if you want kareoke) you need to be a local and get through the impossible system of booking a room (which is a guaranteed impossibility)

    Great spot for a quick meal before a concert or show at the Blaisdell Arena or Concert Hall. Nothing flashy. Great menu of cold drinks and delicious food. They have a great happy hour here too.

    I dont want to say too much only because I dont want to have to wait for an hour for a table, next time i go.. This place represents everything that makes honolulu more livable than not. Great food, great service and just a great place to cruise, enjoy some good grinds and get yourself caught up on all the new k-pop bands....m

  • 5/5 Tung P. 4 years ago on Google
    First time here. I would say the food is so tasty!! The steak is well seasoned and done right. Watermelon soju was great not strong. Fun environment. Staffs forget things but understandable since they had only 2 waiters when its packed. Plenty of parking at night. Will come back

  • 5/5 Emily A. 4 years ago on Google
    This was a fun spot. Alot of people were dressed up to my surprise. It was possibly the first stop of many. The lighting and atmosphere was nice. We got a booth so it was cozy and intimate. The food was awesome. Service was quick.
