    The restaurant was empty and it took an hour to get food for two people. I m not exaggerating when I say empty. The food was mediocre and it took 45 minutes for the server to let us know they didn’t have something we ordered. Staff eating food at the bar and jacking around instead of working. Sunday night crew. Dumb expensive for trash service and mid food.

    We made the reservation for 8pm. We got there to check in and said they close the kitchen at 8pm. Everything from booking the reservation to arriving and checking in was a waste of time

    Super cute place, very aesthetic. Service was incredibly slow, but I think they only had two servers that day. Food was hit or miss.

    Nice atmosphere. Good service. Food was disappointing. We have been looking forward to good Malaysian food in Honolulu for many years. Looks like we will keep waiting.

    Maybe it was an off night for them because service was awkward and weird. My oyster appetizer came out last. While our party was in the middle of eating server asked if we wanted dessert. When we said we are still eating so not at the moment the server gave us the check right after

    Miami vibe with poor service and cocktails. It took 20 min for our cocktails to be served and when we got them, a warm martini, something that was supposed to be a Manhattan but wasn’t, and the worst Singapore Sling. We decided not to eat here and be similarly disappointed with the food.

    Good: we were 45 mins early and they could seat us. Waiter came to us shortly. Got menus and water. Food was delicious and nicely presented. Not good: had to ask for water refills, waiter never checked on us. Took longer than expected to get our food. He Forgot one item we ordered. The dish Finally came but we had to leave for a show at 8 so we had to pack it. At another table I watched a customer get the water pitcher so they could have water. This place has potential, the food is good. But with service like what I experienced, I am not going back. We almost got the doors closed on us for the show. We had more than enough time to enjoy our meal and get to our show at 8 pm. (10 mins drive from the restaurant).
