“Fantastic Food and Drinks.”

Fantastic Food and Drinks. Everything we ate tasted fantastic and our Pina Colada's were amazing! The tiki cups for sale at the front are pretty tacky though and some things hanging by the windows needed to be dusted. Would gladly eat here again.

“My family and I have been coming here since 2021.”

My family and I have been coming here since 2021. The service is always great! They're all friendly and very attentive each and everytime! Absolutely amazing atmosphere and ambiance from the lighting, to the music, to the decor. The food is delicious! My personal favorite is the pork belly tacos and the Bird of Paradise cocktail (mango colada). So good! 😋

“This was my first time visiting this beautiful restaurant, despite living in the loop for 5years+, a huge loss for me.”

This was my first time visiting this beautiful restaurant, despite living in the loop for 5years+, a huge loss for me! I’ve been missing out! This place is such a welcoming and homey vibe while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing atmosphere! Definitely gave what the name displays, “Hawaii”! The music, the pictures and ALL the staff were amazing! The food and drinks are|were added bonuses! Definitely a place for a solo, romantic and|or friends. My friend and I went and we had a great time! Great thanks to our very attentive, patient and hospitable waitress, Hon (Han)- I don’t want to miss this chance to express gratitude to the right person so I’m using both names because I’m still tipsy. But she recommended two margs and they were straight lit and yummy! And she was very sweet! A huge reason to a great first time visit! I can’t wait to return to try new dishes and drinks!

“Absolutely wonderful restaurant.”

Absolutely wonderful restaurant. The vibe was great, the atmosphere was great, the service was great, and most importantly the good was great. Rare type of place that does them all well. If I could give it 6 stars I would.

“If you are considering eating here, do it.”

If you are considering eating here, do it. This was genuinely one of my best meals that I had in my trip to Chicago. The service was so amazing and the food was top tier. The portions are also big which I appreciate so much. I would definitely recommend going here with a group of friends (or alone) because the interior is also so fun! I will definitely be visiting again!

“I absolutely love this place.”

I absolutely love this place. We always come for the crab Rangoon. I’ve been to 35 states and these are by far the best. My original meal I always get was unfortunately removed but she had the kitchen cook up the SAME THING!! Top tier customer service! These ladies deserve nothing but total success. We drove from Michigan and this place is always the stop for us!

“The atmosphere and service were amazing.”

The atmosphere and service were amazing. The servers were the kindest and they made sure we had everything we needed. The decorations are very interesting and colourful, just like the music. The curry was amazing and very tasty. Unfortunately I didn’t like my dish, the moco loco, it was just not my cup of tea!

“We went here last week and the place was fantastic.”

We went here last week and the place was fantastic! It's a total hidden gem. Food was great with generous portions, a large vegan menu for my wife to enjoy plenty of options and great drinks with an inviting atmosphere. I recommend this place for anyone in the area or just visiting to check out.

“100/10, If there was an option for more stars I would add them.”

100/10, If there was an option for more stars I would add them. Will be in my permanent rotation for years to come. I had this spot once about five years ago and have been trying to come back since and lord above it did not disappoint. Probably some of the best Hawaiian food if not Asian fusion food you can get anywhere in the city. The crab rangoons are a must! Frankly any of their appetizers on the fried side are AMAZING. The island nachos are also perfect for two or even as an entree. Best tip I can give you is to come HUNGRY the portions don’t mess around and kinda sneak up on you ESPECIALLY THE LOCO MOCO, you better be ready for that.
