Food, customer service what can I say but great. I always feel good when I learn there are newbies there. Tonight a family of 5 from Michigan was there and heard about Pau Hana Bar from the internet. I felt proud of being a local wham they asked what other local favs are there before they need to go…

The initial seating arrangement was made a little complicated by a young woman with glasses and black hair. Even though we had made reservations in advance. It took the about 15 minutes to get us chairs. And she wasn't pleasant about it. But once we were settled and seated, the very nice waiter apologized for her rude attitude and the seating mix up. The service went very well after that.

Was not expecting a bar in the middle of a grocery store. A bit tough to find since there’s no real sign outside the grocery store to show the bar is in there. The reservations are largely meaningless as everything is bar seating. We ended up standing up and eating at the perimeter of the bar which was completely fine with us. The food was great. Very big portions. Staff and service were absolutely fantastic. Would absolutely go there again if I’m ever back in the area.

I returned to try more of the new menu. Tried the Pork Chops with what I call the “ Filipino Salsa” . This dish was on the original menu but now has kicked it up several notches. Presentation was eye candy and the taste was great. The sauce I felt needed more vinegar or to also have a side of vinegar served with it besides the shoyu/vinegar that is served with it. I had a sampling of the Brussels sprouts with Elote sauce and that was on spot. Did a repeat of the Pau Hana Lemon Spritz and the Lemon Crunch Chiffon Cake 💜💜💜

Today the new menu went live. i am happy with the new mix for the poke-better taste, the Salt and Vinegar Skins was crisped perfect but the Adobo Aioli needs some work. It is too much mayonnaise which masks what ever other flavors supposed to be inside. The Lemon Chiffon Crunch was awesome-i love it that the lemon flavor sines through where you get the tart of the lemon. The Banana Banana Chocolate is great but the assembly needs adjusting for me. Because the chocolate is deep fried inside the wrap it tends to burn quicker because if the sugar and makes it bitter. I would prefer brown sugar sprinkled inside then have the chocolate lightly drizzled on the upside or a dip in the side with the Lilikoi Caramel Dip. I am never disappointed with the service. Of course I can’t leave out the new drink I tried -Pau Hana Spritz 💜

This was date night for da girls 💜 we all had a wonderful time not only because it has been a too long while since we got together but because the awesome service we received. I am a regular so I knew it would only be great. They come only once in awhile and they were so impressed and already making plans for our next time. The only disappointment food item was the Poke. GF thought it would be a deluxe with limu too. Also the Ahi Belly was dryer and “tougher/chewier” than the normal tender and tastier in the past. I am so happy that the bartender is open to making my after dinner coffee drinks too….that finishes the evening on a high note.

One of the best spots to go after work for happy hour or just to have a few drinks and pupus. On Tuesdays they have $5 margaritas and Christian makes one or the best ling hing margaritas hands down. The service is always on point and the amount of food you get for the price is awesome. A go to whenever youre in PC.

As soon as I arrived I recite a warm welcome from Jay and Pat. Jay was mixing the $5.00 Margaritas back to back with a throw in if other drinks. This is a great day to also make it a small “Taco Tuesday “ with the NFL Nachos, simple tacos with salsa and guacamole dip he was very busy but he kept his cool and Pat did as best as he could to help to keep the customers served in between drink orders. I feel at least 1 more person from 12-5 or 6 a small overlap of shifts would help on these days with specials would help to run more smooth. Waiting and excited for the new additions to the menu .

There were four of us and we sat on the corner. It was Sunday 6:00pm and day before a holiday so we were expecting it to be crowded. Luckily it wasn’t and the two bartenders did a great job in keeping the various groups with drinks and food. Big mahalo to both of them for making all of us and others happy! We feel very fortunate that the staff at Pau Hana have always been great, courteous and very friendly. Yes ordered our favorite chicken skin, oxtail soup and miso chicken !! Sorry no pics but hopefully you can experience it! Onooooo!!

Everything was fresh, hot & delicious and the drinks were yummy. We ordered calamari, chicken, fried rice & steak, which we easily could have shared with another couple. Minus the ambiance, (but what do you expect in the middle of a grocery store?) it was a great location to have a really tasty dinner & a couple drinks close to home. It was clean & the service was great too!
