Piko is a local style hangout where you can sit back, relax and enjoy pau hana. In reference to its meaning, “the center where life begins,” Piko brings to life the food, lifestyle and aloha we know and love in Hawaii. Think shared plates of garlic noodles, mochiko chicken, dynamite fries and bao buns in a place you won’t want to leave.

    My family enjoyed the food, loved the waiter, James, whom my youngest daughter refers to as mustache guy. The food was tasty and overall ,the staff was friendly. For a family of five, that included 2 young teenagers and one 7 year old, the bill was a little pricy as our meal was composed of 1 entry, 1 kids meal, and mostly appetizers along with drinks (all non-alcoholic), with tip, came out to $177. We would dine here again, as it's mostly the experience and we did have a lovely time.

    OMG! The food was so amazing. We got several different dishes and shared them all. Let me say, they were ALL delicious. We even got the mango soft serve and drinks. Such a great experience and I will definitely be going back. 💜 Kaya was our server and she was awesome.

    We had a reservation at opening time so it wasn’t very busy. The staff were all extremely friendly and attentive. The vibe was great but the restaurant has a bus stop right in front which makes outside seating a bit noisy. Aside from that, the food was delicious. Highly recommend the garlic noodles and braised beef bao buns! We’ll definitely be going back!

    Great service all around, star of the place was definitely Chef Freddie, a NY transplant with a huge heart and a bigger smile. Go check him out. Food was on point confit chicken, kapakahi fries, and the garlic noodles. Hojicha old fashioned was one of the best twists on an old classic I’ve ever tasted, so much so that I considered buying the $90 bottle of Kaiyo whiskey upstairs. They opened in January but it’s still pretty much a secret and the prices are really fair for the food there. Do yourself a favor and go check them out before it gets to crowded. They validate parking if you park in the same building.

    Nice lunch! Good food and great service. We ate outside and it was a little noisy, but not surprising since we were in the heart of Waikiki. The Market upstairs is a great addition to the neighborhood.

    Mango Soft Serve-was good, but it was WAY-T00 Sugar. Sweet need to lighten up so we can taste the Mango fruit. It can do with-OUT the Li Hing power because not everyone can take aspartame in the food group. Americano Coffee -was very good. we ask for milk/creamer and was brought to us quickly. Bao Bun warm Ginger Chicken - was Excellent. Tempura Cauliflower- was excellent. Food Truck Garlic Shrimp-was Excellent. Happy Hour's ChickenWings-was Excellent, the flavor taste salt/vinegar was just right. Short Rib Slider- was OK, it was way-TOO Salty, I could not tasted the flavor after too much glaze mixed in. Presentation of everything- was excellent. Bathroom- need to be clean more often, location of paper towel and sink was a little difficult to reach.

    The world food tour duo visited Piko Kitchen & Bar. It’s an outside / inside venue … Live music and the bar outside, kitchen and tables inside. We sat inside (for the AC) at a table for 4 adjacent to one of the bathrooms. Jasmine started us with an amuse Calpico Spritz with a mint leaf; refreshing but it would have been better chilled. We perused the drink menu and decided to forego wine; there were only 2 reds and neither appealed to me. We tried the Shiso Smash and the Mixed Plate Margarita; both were fine but I switched to a Hendricks gin & tonic later. We ordered the AweSsam Tempura Cauliflower, Fried Confit Chicken, Brussels Sprout Kim Chee and Izakaya Wasabi Potato Salad. The cauliflower came with a Saikyo miso, ssamjang sauce, spicy perfection for the florets of cauliflower. The Brussels Sprouts Kimchi was okay; IMO, the sprouts didn’t ferment long enough. The menu said the potato salad used Best Foods mayo, a personal favorite … imagine a wasabi-tinged potato salad you would get at a Japanese restaurant. For $3, I liked it. The star was the fried chicken … crisp on the outside, moist on the inside; served with Sichuan salt and a Kaffir lime/Nuoc cham sauce. Use it or not, the chicken was great! Pork Belly Bao Buns and Pipikaula were next; the latter recommended by Jasmine. The bao were huge with large slabs of Hoisin-flavored pork belly and pickled mustard cabbage. I would have preferred smaller pieces of pork because I had to cut mine in half in order to eat it. Make them more petite and charge less and you’ll have a winner! The sole disappointment of the evening was the pipikaula. It was overcooked and lacked the chewiness I look for. Service was fine but I wished the food came out at a slower pace. The food is interesting and there are gems to be found on the eclectic menu. I want a few more options in wines by the bottle. However, the prices are surprisingly low for Waikiki … this is the value play; even with a 22% tip, the tab didn’t reach $150.

    Good menu for pupus and light meals. Drinks good to try. Convenience is the best thing as we are in the same block a lot. Problem they have is with parking. Please learn how to get back to the parking garage after our parking ticket is validated. Nobody knew how to get back there. Even foodland upstairs did not know, but customer service took me to a delivery room that had a door to the garage. Should be a better way to get to the parking area

    We were well taken care of. The menu did not seem very extensive but we had good food. The sauce for the confit chicken was a bit spicy for my dad. We had wanted to hear the live music but it was too windy so we sat inside but could not hear the music.

    Amazing experience thanks to the wonderful staff at Piko. From the kitchen staff who expertly prepared the delicious food. We had the tempura cauliflower, chicken confit, garlic noodles with pork belly and the farmhouse salad. Everything was prepared to perfection. Sam and Darius were welcoming and friendly and our server Adam was the best. Genuine, sincere, efficient and friendly. Parking was also convenient right inside the building and they offered parking validation. Outstanding!

    Ate here during their opening week and it was great. We had some guests in town this weekend so we took them. The second experience was just as nice. The apps are great for sharing. The garlic noodles and the fries were favorites. Highly recommend. Do note- they don’t validate parking so I recommend parking at IMP; buying something at the ABC store to get validated parking there.

    Great new addition to Waikiki that I will definitely visit again. I love the atmosphere (outdoor dining that's not hot or hectic), really great and friendly service, and super yummy food. We split the garlic noodles, beef bao Buns and a salad. All were fantastic, really fresh and flavorful and not too heavy. Lots of nice touches like an amuse Bouche to start, fun garnishes on my drink, etc. Looking forward to coming back during live music.

    I had dinner with a friend and it was an okay experience. I ordered the confit chicken, and it was deep fried and a too greasy for my taste, but I'm sure many might enjoy it. Pricing is very reasonable. Lots of good drink options. The service is excellent, and the decor is top notch, but the lighting is very bright, and the diners are very much in display before the building. Tone down the lighting a little please. All in all we had a good time.

    It has not been a week yet, but the first impression is good. The menu is not overloaded, and they have kept it simple. This I like because it allows more focus on quality. It's adequately priced for a new location in Waikiki and offers outdoor bar seating along with indoor seating. I will go again.
