    Everyone enjoyed the food, but the food came out at very different times. The oxtail soup came out ~10 minutes after most had been served.

    Server was not very attentive to our table on a slow day. We found ourselves often without water and waiting to flag down someone to help us with that. While we tipped for service, at one point the sever interrupted us and asked us to pass our tables dirty napkins to them while they were at the end of the table when they could have just walked around the table. Food was delicious but portion sizes felt small and not "family size."

    I felt like the service and food quality is not the same as previous visits. No longer are servers attentive, but we needed to constantly flag them down. The wings are not as flavorful and drinks were one note. Maybe this was an off-night for them?

    Food was great! We went for $.25 wing Wednesday and tried all the flavors plus garlic friends and garlic noodles. The drinks were delicious and loved the overall island theme. Music choice was excellent playing hip hop and r&b. Felt like I was back in Hawaii and LA. Will be back again and again.

    The server took our order and never came back. I had to ask for the check an hour from being seated because I thought he would never come back. The server would go to the tables around us and wouldn’t bat an eye towards us. The garlic noodles were very fishy, we were super excited to try this spot and it really just let us down. Wouldn’t go back again.

    I have eaten here before and the food was really good but, I just went back with some family members and the food was horribly . I went for the garlic noodles .The garlic noodles were made with thin noodles but, this time the noodles were flavorless and were made with big noodles . The waiter tells us that those were the only noodles they had for today and my thought was how do you just change up a recipe .I sent the noodles back .The rice dish we had was not good it was lacking flavor too. The sticky chicken wings were delicious .The service was great.over all would I go back probably not unless someone else were to pay for it.

    The room was not ready at the time reserved. We waited over 20 mins to be seated. The server asked our large group to make individual orders from their QR code which was awful. The worst most chaotic process to order foo. Our group ended up paying for many duplicate dishes that were uneaten and the bill was double what we expected because they charged us for all of the the duplicate orders. The food came out quickly but the quality of the food was poor and tasteless. Overall our group enjoying the Karaoke but between charging $150 for the room rental and the poor service and expensive duplicate food orders this is not a place I would recommend.

    Was the only table to be promptly kicked out after the 1.5hr time limit for wing nights. I was really hoping Pa’ina would be a good spot to watch sports, but it looks like I won’t be coming back.

    Wednesday Night Wings.....As always the wings were delicious. I suggest trying the macaroni and garlic fries for sides. Although, we over stayed our hour and half visit, the staff was very patient, and they did not rushed us out the door. Great place for an after work cocktail and snacks.

    bar lounge vibe, big-screen TVs for indoor/outdoor sports viewing. 1-minute walk to the Filmore. Crab Bao and Kona coffee-tini are not to be missed. Poke was good, not fabulous. The service was friendly and fast. Have seen negative comments online about service but no sign of it the night we were there.
