Everything we ordered was delicious. I just didn’t particularly care for the kalbi. The taste was not bad just different & did not taste like traditional kalbi. On the other hand, the whole fried fish was spectacular & so delicious! I highly recommend it!!

The service was absolutely terrible, nothing was brought to our table together. Appetizers were brought as the main course, main course and sides brought when the appetizers should. Our meals were not brought as the same time. Food was terrible and the atmosphere was like sitting in a cafeteria of a hospital. The manager should have come and apologized to us but ignored us and did nothing to make up for the lack of service.

For this kind of meal, for these prices, it’s silly to bring out shared side dishes after everyone has finished their entrees.

The food was phenomenal, service impeccable, and ambiance beautiful! Perfectly located on Waikiki beach, and truly memorable dining experience. Love that we could eat at an upscale restaurant in beach attire. They were incredibly accommodating and kind about my allergies. Angry lobster was my favorite thing we ordered, it was delicious!! Thank you!!

Yuen our waiter was great, and accommodating. The food was amazing. The only thing which struck me as VERY odd was that when we asked for a taste of two different wines, so we could decide which bottle to order, the waiter indicated that the bartender might "get mad at him". Very weird, and not what you would expect for a several hundred dollar dinner. Otherwise service and food was great! Shoutout to the bus staff and the runners - they were amazing.
