Reviews of Side Street Inn

Lindsey Itamoto

You want Local Hawaii Food? This is the place to go!!! Funnily enough, I work right upstairs from the other side street inn location . I honestly just love this original locations vibe and food more. You have got to try their garlic chicken, Kim Chee fried rice and garlic fries. Their pork chop and their ribs are also really popular. Go with a big group , and share ! You'll have enough food for everyone to enjoy and take home:) I love this restaurants big portions and tasty food. It's a casual ambiance with good service and local cuisine.

Dan Smitley

The portions are huge!!! We tried to control what we ordered and still had a ton leftover! Parking is very limited and reservations are suggested. The garlic edamame was amazing as was the fried chicken. The pork chops were a bit overcooked, and the ribs were yummy but I've had better down in Charleston SC. It's a fun place to eat, especially with a large group and I would recommend it to people but I wouldn't run back when we are in town again.

Make sure you bring your appetite Truly enormous portions and best enjoyed with a group. The fried rice must be big enough to share with at least 4. The baby back ribs were perfectly cooked with a sweet sauce, they were delicious. Highly recommended. The service was friendly and the live music excellent.

Nathan Kam

Always has and always will be one of the best places to eat on Oahu. Legendary menu…pork chops, fried rice, kalbi and poke are a must. But you really can’t go wrong with anything on this menu. Enjoy! 🤙🏼

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Talk about bomb quality food cooking in huge portions. Don't take me lightly when I say huge portions. This is family style and they mean it. There's plenty of every dish to go around. The prices, once you see the portions, are very reasonable. Wether it's the garlic chicken, the works fried rice, any of the salads, the pork chops, the list just goes on, it's all amazingly delicious. The service is great too. They are Johnny on the spot from checking in on you to water refills. This place is roomy. Tons of seating. They follow strict COVID protocol requiring vax card for all guests and mask while not seated and eating/drinking. We love frequenting Side Street and get the same quality service at both of them.

David Tom

The restaurant has gone through a complete modern remodeling. A new open look which helps to ease transmission concerns. The food is delicious as always. Live music and impromptu Hula greatly livened the atmosphere.

Daniel Nguyen

Oooooh this place is it!!! So first off, have to commend the staff on friendliness and service. Making reservations was super easy via email as they were respondent and friendly. Even mentioned it was to celebrate my birthday, and they had the live singer sing to me!! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us great recommendations. We ordered: sautéed mushrooms, garlic edamame, Kal bi chicken, the signature garlic chicken, and a side of white rice with furikake. The apps were delicious, mushrooms had a great sherry and parmesan umami flavor and were plentiful, and edamame were also a huge portion with TONS of garlic. In fact while I'm at it, all the portions were HUGE. Kal bi chicken was okay, nothing that blew me away. Signature fried chicken though was sooooo good. Perfectly fried and crispy and had tons of flavor. The only negative was that it was slightly overly salty with the fish sauce marinade, but the white rice certainly helped to offset. I have tons of items I want to try next time (like the noodz). This is definitely a great place to dine family style with others. The place can get pretty loud, especially with live music and during the dinner rush. There's cheap valet parking right outside, but also 2 garages right across the street. The upper one was $5 cash.

Rosalynn M

The best pork chops I've ever had: thick cut and juicy, with delicious flavor. Great fresh salad too, perfectly dressed with hidden gems like shrimp and chicken throughout.

VALERIE MARQUEZ

Local spot to treat yourself or the ohana in town or out of town. Live music, the best sizzling kalbi! Our order came out less done than we wanted and they happily replaced it with a new order. The family meal is your best bet for your money and mouth. Huge salad, assorted fried rice option, sizzling kalbi, porkchop, garlic fried chicken and more… Not so much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, But 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Make a reservation. Valet was worth it for me.

Rany Yan

A friend made a reservation a week in advance. The lup cheong fried rice was delicious but the star was the fried chicken. The ribs were a little dry and was okay but definitely get that soy chicken, was worth it! Parking was hard to find.

Joshua Yuan

This place is really good for large groups since the serving sizes are pretty big. We had a group of 10 and ordered the "prefixe" menu thing and a few other dishes. I loved the bulgogi thing and the fried chicken, and the poke was a favorite at the table too. I wish we had ordered the pork skin poke but it had sold out when we asked for it... This isn't like a fancy restaurant, but it's a solid dinner choice and you should def grab reservations ahead of time. ========== I came back here a year later and it was still delicious. Attaching more photos.

K C

Haven't been since the old style with the barstools so over 15 years give or take a few years......lol..... It was nicely renovated and spacious. The food was good too. Must come with a group of people because the servings are huge. Ordered fried noodles (yakisoba), fried rice and garlic chicken with a side of potatoe mac salad. Just a party of 2 and we didn't even dent the portions of food. We will be back with the whole family. Highly recommended.

Jennifer Goliss

Large portions at Side Street Grill, very tasty and tender kalbi beef ribs (bone in) - I would order again. We also ordered the special fried rice and garlic fried chicken, hot sauce on the side.

Crystal Shrum

Their food was phenomenal and such huge portions. We had no idea it'd be that much food. Pleasantly surprised. Bry was our waitress and she was great!

Charity Baldugo

Great food and great service. Haven't gone on years and they've done an awesome job with the renovation, but food still great. Still the best pork chop on town.

Tara Walker

Amazing fried chicken and kal bi beef ribs! The whole red snapper was perfect! Super garlicky yummy Edamame. Everything we had was absolutely delicious!!

Elizabeth Ramos

Very friendly staff. The bartender was super helpful and offered well thought of recommendations. The food was delicious and the portions were well sized. Definitely meant to share. Garlic chicken phenomenal and the fried rice was amazing. That alone fed 3 people with leftovers.

Debra Caracol Person

My Uncle Bobby offered to treat us to cocktails & pupus, more like a feast for 2 days!! We had a 2 hour reservations, sad part we were just getting started after drinks & a round of McCallans, we had a pretty sizable tab! But, we were kicked out! Our reservations were at 4pm, had to leave by 6pm! What a bummer! The food was excellent except for the fried opakapaka, $42??? My brother Ted & sister, Ari, fish connoisseurs says it kind of smelled, "fishy " and was not fresh!😰 Returned it immediately, so we were not charged! Otherwise it was a fun filled event, later went next door..Club Mystique for more drinks!!

Robert E

Side Street Inn doesn’t disappoint no matter which location you visit. Excellent local food at a good price with giant portions. The fries, pork chop, garlic chicken, and fried rice are must haves. My party of 7 ordered the Chef Colin’s Classics set menu meant for 3-4 people and we still had leftovers!

Meg Reppart

Many people told me that it's a locals' favorite, but I don't know if the chef wasn't having it that night. Everything was so salty out just too much tastes. I felt like I needed a head of lettuce or plain rice to eat the dishes, even the fried rice. I cooked tons of nappa cabbage and scrambled eggs with the left over fried rice and it tasted lot better. Maybe I need to try it again to see if it was just that night.

Charles Aspiras

Great Place, Great Food, Hugh Portions, Great Prices. Recommending to everyone that goes to Waikiki

Ming Xiao

Parking is very limited. Park somewhere else and walk here. Everything is ala carte. Bring a lot of people with good appetite. Do it family style so everyone can share. Service was very good.

Mark Nev

The food here is phenomenal it's really good....the spicy chicken is awesome and the pork chops are good...parking is hard when this place is busy....but its food selection are great

Ryan Haller

Honolulu OG establishment, and it didn’t disappoint.

Priscilla Hagedorn

I was shocked on how it's changed lijed the old menu better. Oh and talk about the prices! Yo! Sky high! # I Loved the old Side street with the booths , Kareoke and seeing Colins and Mel. Since Colins passed and his wife gone to relocate in Vegas. I don't yhink I'll ever go back again.

Tamra Castro

Ala carte..big portions to split with u r ohana...only thing waitress didn't bring thongs for each food and had to be reminded cross contamination 🙃🤦‍♀️ other than that food and service good 👍💕

Ty Lim

I don't know how I missed this place previously, but it easily became one of my favorite places to eat at in Honolulu! The wait was a bit long, but that may have been because we were a large group (6). The wait aside though, the food and service were amazing! The food was very reasonably priced given the quality and portions we received. We ordered the ribeye steak, the boneless kalbi, the korean style tako and ahi poke, pork fried rice, pork chops, basket of fries, pesto-crusted sole, and another fish dish that I can't seem to remember right now. They were ALL delicious and we devoured everything! My favorite was the boneless kalbi. The flavor was fantastic and it was incredibly tender! Our waitress was really funny and friendly. She gave us awesome service and this entire experience was easily a 5 star one! I'm definitely coming back here! :D

King Lee

Great place to eat. This place was packed on a Tuesday night, luckily we called in and made reservations. Service was excellent and the food was great. The Lani and spicy chicken I could have done without though.

mike bermel

Always a great locals spot- congrats to Side Street for their reopening and interior renovation, along with a more condenses menu. Great service and food!!!

Nikole G

Amazing home style food. The fried pork chops are so good! And that kimchee fried rice was fantastic too!

Ariel W.

Try something new everytime you go there 'cause everything is yummy here! It just might surprise you. Every plate comes in large portions, enough to share with the whole table, or take home and skip cooking for couple of times. I always order the fried rice and spicy chicken and sometimes i haven't try before. I never disappoint. Highly recommend!

Al Bremmer

Place was packed, didn't have reservations, they didn't have room for us but last minute squeezed us in, food was awesome, service was fast and very friendly.

Kseniya Baronina

Love love love this place! We keep coming back every time we're back in Oahu. The kimpchi fried rice and kalbi ribs are amazing!

Dean Starovasnik

Outstanding "local" restaurant with huge family sized portions. The 3-4 person meal fed us six adults with plenty of chicken, pork and fried rice leftovers for a couple three more servings the next day. Great food, pleasant staff and quite reasonably priced! Tax and tip for six including an adult beverage for all was $160 because of the happy hour discount 4-6 Tuesday through Thursday. Parking lot available across the side street.

John Doe

Portion sizes here are enormous. Me and my girlfriend split a single order of their spicy garlic chicken and it was enough for both of us. You will get your money's worth here. Drinks are moderately priced, but I would still recommend showing up at happy hour if that's what you want to do here. Service was excellent and we had a great live musician there on a Thursday night!

Nelson Green

My wife and I decided to try this pleasant restaurant based on a review on the Food Network website. We arrived at about 5pm on a Thursday and were seated immediately. Our server was quite nice and gave us assistance with the menu. All items are ordered individually and are absolutely huge! The pork chops were tasty if a bit chewy and the fried rice was excellent, but large enough to feed substantial family. Not realizing the quantity of food we had ordered, we also obtained a Happy Hour side dish. Overall, I was pleased with the food and service. A few things to note: Soft drinks are $3 per glass, no refills, parking is $6+tip for the valet, and the location really is down a side street and a bit difficult to find.

Ian Tandingan

staff is fast and efficient. food is crazy good, and huge portions. we loved the crispy chicken and boneless kalbi. definitely want to return and try the lilikoi ribs, sounds interesting

D Gibbs

My third time coming to Hawaii and enjoying Side Street. However, my first time at this location. This location looks much newer and contemporary in style. Food is still great too! Also have the large platters of fried rice! The best!

M L

This place is my new fav! You would think its just local food, but their take on it is so delicious! Loved everything from the salad, to the kalbi, to the garlic chicken! The staff is also quick & on top of things. Definitely worth checking out, will be going back.

trinidyAnna Travelogue

My Uber driver told me if I wanted really good food to come here. Decided to come through with an hour left of the restaurant open, even with 6 of us they were more than happy to take our group. The food is family style, we ordered 6 dishes to share it was more than enough. The good, every single dish! Was absolutely amazing! Flavourful , lip smacking goodness! To be fair though , I have only tried the following photographed plates. I recommend getting the fried rice and spicy chicken.. but I also recommend grabbing it for takeout. The place itself isn't the best location and it also need heavy updating. A new carpet especially as it kind of smells like a gym bag. But my five stars are strictly for the food at this specific location! If I could I'd make it 4.5 stars overall because of the place itself. There is another location though that I haven't tried, but I was close to this one.

Danielle Higa

Braised pork belly and garlic friend rice was clutch. Also Chinese chicken salad and pork chop, always a default.

Jeff Blake

Great food fried pork chops are juicy and tender and flavorful, fried chicken reminded me of Korean fried chicken but not, prefect crunchyness and flavor the sauce was just a better way to wash it down with. Definitely recommend and will be coming back next time to Oahu.

jessalynn808

Great food, large family portions, plenty of space. Come one an empty stomach when you got time to spare or else your bring home tons of left overs. Place stays pretty busy and didn't have crazy amounts of parking. They do valley for $6 I think.

T D

We were invited here by one of the natives, and the food was so delicious 😋 They had live music as well. …

tom najjar

The locals here are so warm and welcoming. I recommend the Kim Chi fried rice and the garlic fried chicken. Absolutely delicious. Call for reservations because they get busy quick.

Lusana

Yummy plate lunch! (Offered about 11-1:30, depending on how things sell out). If it hasn't yet been, would nominate to "Good Eats". I enjoyed the turkey plate... so tender! (Downside is limited parking.) Local businessmen ate there while doing business, retired folk enjoyed while talking story. The TVs were on much lower volume (compared to loud afternoon/evening Sports Bar feel, that still offers fabulous food.) A gem for lunch. (Used to offer Valet pkg at night, not sure if still available).

jeff escuadro

Great food. Award winning fried rice. The fried chicken and the ribs. I'm drooling just writing about this. Cocktails were really really weak. Thought it was a virgin cocktail..

Raul Castro

Unbelievable dinner! Best restaurant experience in Honolulu. Food, service drinks - all amazing! If you’re in Honolulu you have to have a meal here. Our Uber driver clued us into this place and boy am I glad she did! Simply amazing. We had all their classics and would have them again if we were staying another night. Fried rice was amazing. Beef short ribs, kal bi was out of control. Both our boys loved the short ribs. Wife and I LOVED the fried pork chop. Garlic chicken was gone on minutes. The flavors are amazing. This is a must visit! This place is in an office building that you wouldn’t expect it to be in. Make sure to call for reservations, it fills up quick. We showed up at 4pm, right when it opened and got lucky. Christy our sever was fast, friendly and extremely helpful. So impressed!

Michelle Chandler

This place is Amazing. 100% recommended. We loved every bite. Portions are MASSIVE. Bring friends or you will have leftovers. Service was great. Thank you we will come back.

Sheryl Toh

We went to the restaurant at night and it was really crowded. We had to wait for around half an hour to get a table. In addition, we encountered a hard time calling for the waitress to pick up our order. We ordered pork and steak. The steak was good and the mushrooms were really nice. The pork, however, was too dry. Overall, I won't really recommend; but i guess you could give it a go if you want to try something new.

JD Goodrich

A hidden gem. Don’t miss a trip to the Side street inn for some very affordable, delicious food. The fried chicken and fried pork chips were deliciously not greasy but the beef was our hands down favorite.

RicHard Etwaroo

Family style meal feeds (3-4) for 140$ We were 6 people . And that meal fed up all with leftovers

Wilber Amaya

What can I say other then food was superb. Great taste and drinks were excellent for us as well. Price can be a little deep for some meat plates but for a once in a while dining experience I say it's worth it.

H G

You better be hungry when you go here. The food is outrageously good and there's plenty of it. The boneless kal bi short ribs were absolutely delicious and their famous spicy chicken was the bomb. Our server was friendly and helpful and they even had some terrific live music. The drinks are big and cold and they check up on you regularly. Great place!

James Chang

Their spicy chicken is bomb af, can't find it anywhere else. House fried rice is also great too, huge portions, recommend going with a decent group of people because they serve everything family style.

Robert Matheny

Best fried chicken and rice around. For purely selfish reasons I'm sad the masses have found out about this place. You need a reservation now. But great for them cause this place is the best. Inside tip: go sit at the bar. They have amazing bartenders that will treat you like a local. Support local!

Alexander De Asis

Loved their boneless kalbi short ribs, and their signature fried rice. Portions are big, so be sure to bring an appetite!

Sean G.

Large portions of their really good food! One plate is enough to feed 2-3 people. Their Kim Chee Fried Rice and their Garlic Chicken are two of their most popular dishes.

Larry Wong

Too much food for 1 person. I wished the offered the plate lunch in the dine in.

Michael Grizer

Kimchi fried rice was amazing. 45 minute wait for a table, but they had space at the bar. Excellent service and food. Highly recommend.

Cindy Stephens

Excellent food and service! I recommend the spicy chicken and side street style fried rice. The Portuguese sausage in the rice is to live for!! Careful on ordering - servings are ginormous & can feed a family of 3-4.

marc colelli

ALWAYS good food here! Pork chops are the BEST

Erik

The food here is amazing. The kimchi fried rice was especially great

Trisha Puou

Food was delicious! Food is a mixture of local favorites. Must try the peanut butter crunch dessert. Service was quick despite being very busy.

Matt Nitzahn

Fast, friendly service. Food is family style so don't order too much (one order of fried rice will feed 6+ people). Will definitely come back for the kalbi chicken/beef, and the garlic edamame

Arlo Adams

What a delightful surprise, you must go! We went to see the musician and have a drink. Figured the food would be usual bar fare of fried everything so weren't going to eat but were pleasantly surprised when we looked at their menu. The food is served Hawaiian family style with very generous portions. We had boneless short ribs which were cooked just right and oh so tasty and Signature fried rice with Kim chee. Not allot of gluten free options as most dishes have soy sauce but the atmosphere, staff and music made it a very fun evening. It is located on a small side street and very easy to miss but please do stop. It's worth it.

Ana Tan

The food and drinks at this place are BOMB. Favorite find during our vacation in Oahu. If you love all types of asian foods including hawaiian and american foods, this is the place for you. Great service as well.

James Nguyen

Fantastic food place. Extremely highly recommended.

Scott Brewer

The kalbi beef was meaty and Smokey and full of flavor. The Special Fried rice was also chock full of flavor too. It had Portuguese sausage and spicy Kimchee made it exceptional. the chocolate Peanut butter cake dessert was good. All the portions were generous. Very generous! service was excellent. the place was full of energy but maybe a little noisy for some folks. I can’t wait to go back.

James Darren Hicks

If you are visiting Hawaii. Honolulu. You must visit this restaurant. The food was amazing. It was fresh. The staff was awesome. And the experience of eating there was just amazing there were eight of us they sat us down the food came out quickly it was delicious try the garlic chicken and the beef something or another that comes in a frying pan. I enjoyed this restaurant when I come back to Honolulu I will definitely visit this restaurant again!

Leslie Watson

It's definitely a place we don't miss when visiting from Maui. Everything we order is always so ono & the portions are eeeenormous!!! You can't beat watching a game, having a few and eating their great food. Pork Chops, Fried Rice, Kalbi, all the fish dishes.. Anything you get is a winnah!!

Hana O

Lockdown is over! Ordered take out for picnic. Everything was great as usual. Don't underestimate the amount of food!

Joyce Jimenez

Not the same old hole in the wall place. Rib Eye Steak is no longer on the menu. Farmer's salad was dry with less toppings. We ordered Kalbi which was $30++. The meat was dry and not tender (disappointing esp for the price). This used to be our favorite spot to eat. Even though we hated that stinky old carpet they used to have but food was really good. Gone is the carpet after the renovation. New tables, new chairs. We were very excited to come here again but sadly, food is not as good as before..

Jesse McHugh

This was one of the better meals of my life. Went for the pre-fix of 6 courses with 3 other people and it was more than enough food. Fried chicken was insane and the sauce it was served with was ethereal. The kal bi beef was also unbelievable. We brought home enough pork for lunch the next day, but only because it came out last and we were already full from all that preceded it. Needless to say, the value is insane. The atmosphere feels very local and honest. Not an ounce of pretense. A must visit.

Robert Lee

If you want good food and service, this is a place for you. Recently renovated it can still accommodate quite a few people even with social distancing. The deep fried pork chops and fried rice is their specialty and must haves when you eat there.

Steve Okamoto

This place is just awesome. Their kalbi-beef is so tender and tasty - a must try. We also liked their chicken (forgot the name), poke, and pork chops (my preferences were in this order). The fried rice is also tasty as is their yakisoba. If you have a chance - try this place (parking might be difficult, but we paid $5 to park in the lot above the restaurant).

Michael

It can be busy; so make a reservation. You can order food like normal, but they also have a pre-set dinner for four people. The pre-set family dinner is fantastic. Basically everything that came out tasted awesome. I liked the pan-fried pork and fried chicken. Also, get the brownie a la mode for dessert. It was perfectly cooked; warm and crisp on the outside, but softer in the middle with chunks of chocolate.

I'm Ungabunga

Absolutely DEEEEEEELICIOUS!! Our waitress was AWESOME!!

Nonah Apao

One of my favorite restaurants based on menu choices and delicious taste!! You can bring your children, eat family-style, order a cocktail, watch a game, and ono desserts. But, final bill can be high if not careful.

Hans Lombardo

As always great food, great service! Boneless Kalbi beef ribs still amazing!

Jon Golembiewski

Best meal we had on our trip. After 3 different locals suggested it we had to try it and it did not disappoint. Awesome bar staff and even accommodated my pescatarian girlfriend. Will come back to Honolulu just for this again!

Keffen J

Loved the food we got. We dis curbside pick up and the staff was very communicative about the status of our order, what was just pending and how much longer. They put order in the back seat and off we went. Doesn't get any better!

Scott K

Great place tucked away from all the usual suspects. Came here at the recommendation of a friends for the pork chops and they did not disappoint. Added some Kalbi beef and fried rice to the mix and it was a great feast. The wait staff was fast and friendly while the restaurant itself was a little like you would expect, old n dingy, it didn’t take away from the food. Cheap beers to top it off and this is a great place to bring a group of friends or family.

Jonathan Castillo

Great spot that's been around for a while. Everything we ordered is family style portions so either be prepared to share and chow down or to take home. The staff is friendly and attentive to help out if you have any questions, there was so much to choose from that I kept on telling our waitress we still need more time and she just smiled and said take our time with a smile every time. Will definitely come back and recommend to everyone.

Gary Furukawa

Haven't been here in awhile, but the place hasn't changed much since the last time I visited. The food is served family style and you will be pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes of your food selections. You really have to try the fried rice, pork chops, spicy chicken, and ahi poke. They also have their own brewed beer, which was a little pricey, but pretty good. If you haven't been back in awhile like me, you should check them out again.

Derek Jensen

This place has MASSIVE portions, with each bite being delicious. The set menu is an amazing deal (108 for 5 dishes, great for 4+ people). Each dish is to share! (Except for the ribs, unless you like only having one rib) Also, they accept reservations, and around ~6PM they gave us an odd look because we didn't have one... apparently its a super popular place.

Derrill Dabkoski

Massive portions at a very reasonable price! We all were super stuffed and we had to get a to go box which feed us for a few more days. Each dish feeds about 3 people or 2 very hungry people.

Doug Kinoshita

Huge portions and awesome.local food. Had the garlic chicken and pork chops, again, and my boss says "how can you go wrong with fried meat?" No truer words have ever been said. Come with 4 people and share some dishes and drink ice cold beer and have a great evening.

Richard Blacketer

Katsu was a little too greasy but the teriyaki chicken was excellent. Atmosphere was hampered by a cluttered floor plan.

Bill Luna

We really enjoy this restaurant and it's a must place to eat when visiting the island. The outside has a funky back alley look but the inside has been remodeled and has a clean modern look and feel.

Rictor Smith

I came across this gem from a local friend who lives on the island. The food here was really good. The portions are pretty big and a few of us just shared a bunch of different items off the menu. That spicy chicken is more garlicky and amazing than spicy. Must try.

Tom Linhard

Best local food at affordable prices

A Random Visitor

Great food and great service! Chef Collins classics a good meal choice for a group of 4 to 7. Includes a little bit of everything. Pork, beef, chicken, fried rice, edemame, salad. Delicious.

Herbster TV

Easily accommodated our party of 8 at one of many large tables. Family style portions mean you WILL be full when you are done. Don't eat too much because desert is equally excellent to the main courses. Don't sweat the location/ally this great place is in. A very welcoming restaurant and staff made this our best Honolulu dining experience. shockingly affordable. Dinner for a table of 8 with 3 deserts and adult beverages for all 8 was $200

Tristan Martin

What an awesome eating experience we had at Side Street Inn. The pre fix menu they have is outstanding. The food is bursting with flavors like none other. I would recommend you should make a reservation rather walking inn.

Arceli Luis

Food served family style. Tastes great with big portions. Fast service with a very friendly staff. Convenient parking along street or in parking garage across the street.

Daniel Boatwright

An absolutely must-do restaurant when on the island! The food is served family style. Me and three other guys ordered the fried rice, pork chops, kalbi, and spicy chicken. The spicy chicken is to die for! It is lightly spiced, perfectly battered and fried, and boneless. The pork chops were also tender and delicious. Now, a warning: as the name implies, this restaurant is down a side street that looks less than appealing and can be difficult to find parking. However, do not let that deter you. This is a true hidden gem!

Tom Lee

Portions are insanely huge with reasonable prices, but found the quality was just ok. The rice in the signature fried rice was hard as if not cooked fully. Service was prompt and friendly and drink selection was good. Fun place to go with a lot of people to chow down on the huge portions. I’m guessing I went on an off night terms of the food product.

DeMesha A (JusBnMeMe)

Great hidden gem that the locals frequent and love! Farmers Salad was amazing, Spicy Chicken was great, Bone-in Kalbi had good flavor but was a bit tough due to being a thick cut and over cooked a tad. We also got the Fried Rice and Pork Chop which I was not overly impressed with but it wasn't bad just not what I'm use to!

Elizabeth Hervieux

Family style, good food, great service, serving size leaves no room for being hungry at the end if your meal

Vicki Lee

Ono food! Kalbi beef and fried rice a must to order! The pork chops are yummy too!

Harvey Jau

Ordered Kal bi (market priced at $29) and kimchi fried rice for me and my wife. When they say about family portion they are not kidding. The left over was enough for anther meal. Dishes are a little too salty for my taste but still delicious. I would recommend having beer or cocktail to go with the meal. Totally deserve the high ratings on google reviews.

Melvin Johnson

The side street inn serves a variety of local foods, with ample portions. They serve a favorite fried pork chop that is awesome as well as one of the best fried rice dinners on island. Little pricey but worth it.

Aloha KaiNiu

The restaurant is on the side street. Parking is kinda hard on peak time unless you get lucky. The inside is small and cozy. You have to try the kimchi fried rice, fried pork chop and the ribs. We usually order a few plates to share and flush it down with beer/soda. Great place to hang out out with friends after work or watch a game.

CE Behr

Just great. Really cool vibe. Our waitress Sara was truly awesome and just so sweet. We got the fried rice, pork chops and a T Shirt and left very very happy. Valet park for the extra $1, don't be silly.... Mahalo, guys, for a great night...

Ree Nay

The people who run this place are super friendly! The fried porkchops were well seasoned and fried perfectly, the pork was moist and a definitely must try if you are here The fried rice was good but a bit too greasy for my taste but my hubby loves the added smokey flavor of the rice from the bacon Portion sizes are large so you can probably share an order of you both are light eaters Definitely a place I would recommend if your in the area

Derek Franks

Simply one of the best meals we had in Hawaii. A hidden gem if there ever was one. Get the garlic chicken and a local beer and you’ll be golden.

Germán Rodríguez

The waitperson she was fabulous 👌 with us.

Katheren Inamura

I don't usually post but I have to on this one. Awesome food! Fried pork chops, fried rice, ahi belly, clams, even my margarita was perfection!! Would have given five stars but was super warm in restaurant but even for me I didn't care because of the food!!

Michael C

It's a good place but I prefer a little more healthy dishes, so if you are down with comfort food that tastes great but will probably isn't the best for you check it out! Usually the waitresses are quick with beers, but my last time there the waiter was really slow.

Wow. Such a hidden gem. Food was so good!

ホロホロHawaii

Only weekend! Plate Lunch to GO🚗 You can choose your combinations

Mike

The only thing stopping this from being 5 stars was our server. She wasn't the best. With that being said, the food here is soooooo good. The servings were massive. We really enjoyed the pork sliders, fired rice, and mountains of pork chops. I would definitely recommend stopping here during your trip!

Mahmood Hassan

Love this local restaurant in Honolulu. Food was awesome and the staff was 👍 …

DA JOKER

Haven't been there in a long long time. Went back for lunch,the menu changed. Great food with big portions. Had fried rice,garlic chicken,lilikoi ribs n was all good. Great service A little pricey Place was hot,a/c wasn't on Parking was nuts, unless you valet park on them

Chris Avak

Fun little place down an alley. Parking costs $6 with valet service. Fried rice and Kim chi are off the hook. The mules are a little light on the alcohol but have a great ginger zing to them. Awesome venue all around!

Mark Charles

Pork chops are good. Calamari is great. Fried rice was too much - 3 more meals worth. 3 of us could barely finish the rest. Bartender was very friendly.

Doug Sheehan

Wonderful food ,great service. The place was recently remodeled and looks great.

Anthony Wong

A few friends have suggested we had to try Side Street Inn when we visited Honolulu so we finally got around to it on our last trip. It was so good that we came back twice! The location is a little out of the way. Feels like you're in an alley. Once you're inside the place has a kind of old-school, diner, family restaurant vibe. We came on a Sunday afternoon and the place was pretty full, mainly locals, so it had to be good! All the food comes in large portions and is served family style. It was only me and my wife so I was sad we couldn't try more dishes. We ordered the farmer's salad, boneless Kalbi beef, and teriyaki chicken. I wanted to order more just because everything looked so yummy but the server said, "Oh no, dear. You're ordering way too much for just the two of you. Are you staying in a house or condo with a refrigerator?" I told her we were staying in a hotel with a bar fridge, so she stopped me. LOL! The food is top notch! The Kalbi beef and teriyaki chicken were tender and very flavorful. We had the "lite" portion of the farmer's salad and it was huge and delicious! This place is great! The food is excellent and I only wish we had more people with us so that we could share and try more dishes!

Chae Lee

Great local dining. I always get the farmers salad and a big plate of fried pork chops with a beer. Rice on the side. Big quality portions and laid back welcoming atmosphere. Valet parking.

Allan

Hearty riffs of the best of local food cuisines, best for medium to larger groups of 5 to 10 weighing down no frill tables with generous platters served family-style. Friendly excellent staff. You have to come down Kona Street to get to the upstairs parking. The same area I get my car fixed!

Steve D.

Side Street Inn is one of my favorite places to dine. The service is friendly & fast. The food is fantastic. The prices are reasonable. There's even a nice bar there! TVs everywhere to watch whatever sporting event you're interested in. Highly recommended!

Michael Reubel

I always go to this place when I visit. The food is scrumptious & the staff is on point when it comes to the service. Make reservations before coming here. The place fills up quick.

Josh Campbell

I am in town helping a friend move and searched for the best fried rice in Honolulu. I was not let down here, and the spicy garlic chicken is amazing as well, on top of the extremely friendly staff. I will be eating here every time I'm in town.

Sang Yoon

Convenient valet parking @ $5. Tried lots of their classic dishes during a wedding rehearsal dinner, everything was quite good but the poke stood out. Friendly service. Laid back sports bar like atmosphere

Gloria Ma

Delicious kimchi fried rice, but the service felt below average in attentiveness. For example, I was eating alone and I was not warned at all that the portion size was humongous (it literally could have fully fed 4 people). It seemed like an obvious thing they could have told me when I was ordering. In addition, when I then asked if there were any homeless shelters I could donate the extra food to, I was met with a confused "umm, no we don't do that," with no follow-up of where I could try to find someone who could use the food. I ended up wandering around on the streets myself with probably 2lb worth of fried rice in a takeout box to try to find someone.

Isabelle Cooper

I have not yet had the pleasure of eating at the Side Street Inn, however tonight their staff members came to my rescue, and I think think that says a lot about the establishment. My friends and I locked the keys in our car and after trying to find help (police, AAA, etc), I decided to walk into the backside of Side Street Inn to see if they had something that I could use to try and open my door. Even though they were closing up, a group of staff members were so kind and immediately went searching for something to help me. After a few moments they came back with a metal bucket handle. In the end, (and after 10 minutes of trying on our own) it was one of their staff members who came out after closing up and helped us open the door. He could have returned home after his shift, but he stayed roughly 15 more minutes to help us. Me and my friends are beyond grateful for the kindness we received from the staff at Side Street Inn tonight, and we can’t wait to grab dinner there soon!

Mitchell Nakagawa

And joining my exclusive list of grindz...one of Oahu's iconic...Side Street! Side Street isn't for everyone and it doesn't matter - it's everything that so many places are quickly not becoming - generous portions of good local style food that you can talk story over. Side Street is on the makai side of Kapiolani, with parking in the building across the street or if you're lucky, on the street. They open at 4pm but if you plan on hitting peak hours, it's best to make a reservation. The food is good - kimchee fried rice (yup, even if you don't think you'll like it), pork, all pupus, stir fry. The plates are generous and served family style, about a plate a person should do it for hearty eaters. Drinks are moderately priced with prizes some nights. I head over usually when I'm in the mood to eat 'till I'm stuffed - if there's one thing to recommend (since everything is ono), it'd be the kimchee friend rice - even though I don't like kimchee! Side Street caters primarily to locals and is well known in the community. The service is good and everyone has always been friendly - checking in, "special" orders, and talking story a bit. While it's a pleasant atmosphere, it'll be nothing like my other top restaurants on my lists (and it's a good thing). Hope you enjoy it! For those tourists who might hesitate to venture outside of Waikiki, a second Side Street is looking to open on Kapahulu.

The Truth

Great place to eat and drink. Lots of local dishes and very good food. Popular with people who work in the restaurant industry. Recommend this place if you want to eat really good local food. Not to expensive about $25 a person for drinks and food. And you will leave with a full belly and nice alcohol buzz. Check this place out.

John Francis Sapigao

Came in on a busy night and ordered 4 dishes, sharing between 4 people. Each plate came out 10 minutes after the other. Our server was very professional and apologetic though, but the timing of the food messed up our appetite. Can't deny it was delicious.

Isis C.

This is the location to go to. Love the dive feeling and staff is just too cool! Portions are big and definitely enough to share between 2-3. Lup cheong & kimchi fried rice is to die for. Full bar, affordable, with clean restrooms.

Justice Callander

I would give 5 stars but it's a place that sells meal items for groups but you can't split the bill more than 2 ways? Honestly great food nice people cheapest food you'll get while here but why can't I split my bill? Created kind of a hassle

Caleb Newville

It looks like a hole in the wall, and it is, but don't let that dissuade you. I had great service from the friendly staff, and you can't beat the value. Everything is a la carte, but the portions are large enough you won't need a side. Have one of their house-named Rogue beers and a plate of the Pork Chops, you won't be disappointed.

Gigi Nodda

Wonderful family restaurant.! Huge portions for a fair price. Thank You Side Street Inn the Food was great, & service was excellent. Other than the parking this is a great spot to take your family & friends.

Ann Neeriemer

This place has such great reviews and some plates I saw others eating looked good but my dinner was just ok. Probably I just ordered the wrong thing. The flavor was ok and portion was a huge hunk of ahi, but it was deep fried and so kind of overcooked I thought. There were some wilty overdressed greens under it, but otherwise just the fish and a mustard sauce.

B

Great late night spot, our go to for fresh & reasonable food and a cool crowd. Unfussy, very friendly, easy on the wallet (which is rare on a Hawaiian trip). 5 star staff who treat everyone like old friends. No frills & perfect.

Paul S

Delicious. The garlic chicken and the pork chops are fantastic! Nice beer selection and cocktails are great.

Kelly Polido

Tonight service was horrible! Never ever have i received poor service eating at dis side side street inn...this was actually worse then dat side! Food however was the bomb as usual! The waiter obviously had issues! Everytime we would order 2 beers he only bought 1. He refilled our water glasses once. Everytime we needed something we had to ask other waitress passing by or i had to wave my hand to the host to get her attention so she would come and ask what we needed! Just FYI....other times we been there we got excellent service and food came out quickly. We actually waited 45 minutes the second time we ordered food to actually get the food that we told them to make it to go. People that were seated after we ordered actually got their food before us. The waiter ssid the next time we come in they would comp us for the bad service we got...i asked for it in writing then the comp changed to comp beer. I was nice to tip him but honestly... he did not deserved the tip he got.....he should have gotten a penny! We all work in the service industry and know how people should be treated....this guy needs to learn!

Jay Kunz

Great food served family style. Gotta try the fried chicken and the steak with the fried rice!

Too Practical

Food is delicious. Service was even better. Auntie sat us down with much love and speed despite a reservation being made before us. Waitress was also superb: smart, intuitive, and prompt.

Donald M

Not many options for vegetarians but try the Sautéed Mushrooms and the Farmer's Salad. Great red wine vinaigrette on the salad and the mushrooms are amazing. Also ordered the cold tofu, wasn't a fan. Great atmosphere!

Hunter Foote

Very nice atmosphere, food quality, and selection. Kind and courteous staff. A little bit creepy of an area however. Maybe we just went in the back entrance, but the alleyway / Street was a little bit disconcerting. Definitely recommended everyone. I guess it's been featured on some television programs but I can't remember the names.

Gary Gindlesperger

One of my favorite restaurants on Oahu. Great food, and great service. Take your appetite because you get plenty of food. You gotta save room for dessert. My favorite is the peanut butter crunch brownie with vanilla icecream.

Benjamin Hubert

Awesome food at a hole in the wall restaurant. We stumbled across this place a number of years ago and always make a point to come back when we are in town. Large portions, great service and fair prices.

Ryan B

Honestly, this place is a revelation! This is a place of refuge from the mundane and triviality of real life. When I first had the honor of tasting the fried rice I wept. I was brought to a place of euphoria. I felt as if I were a child again. This rice touched me in such a way I feel that if we could all share this rice together there would be no wrong in the world. Then the chicken, the sweet blessed fowl cooked to perfect and flavored oh so perfectly. It may say spicy chicken, but what it should say is bliss. "My minds telling me no!!!! But my body!!!! My body is telling me yes!!!" -R. Kelly- Do yourself a "flavor" (< ha! Puns...) and eat here. You will not be disappointed by the food or the staff. They're both a force to be reckoned with. In closing, seldom in life do you get to have your chicken and eat it too, but at this wonderful blessing of a restaurant you can.

J Thomas Kofoed

First time in hawaii, came here due to some recommendations of friends who lived here. We had: fried rice, katsu chicken, 2 of there beef dishes, tuna and the pan fried pork chop... All was very good. Didnt love the mushrooms, but service good and friendly, and would definitely recommend to others. Cost was very reasonable considering location.

ERROL M

OMG this place was amazing. My wife and I were vacationing in hawaii last month and stopped by this place. the spicy garlic chicken is unlike any chicken i've had state side. the sauce was amazing and the crispiness of the fried chicken....holy cow! definately a family style restaurant! LARGE PORTIONS!! cant wait to go back on our next trip to Hawaii! i'm trying the pork chop next that i've heard so much about

Nicole Jones-Williams

Great service, seem pretty clean, it's a Chinese style way of serving (meaning comes in big portions and u get small plates to share) I like that. Steak is chewy, I'm starting to think HI can't do steaks... They should carry A1 though...

John McLeod

Absolutely awesome! I've only picked up take out from them and I must say the food is ono. It's a shame they aren't having in-house dining (STUPID COVID). They've re-done the inside and it looks awesome. Patronize this business!!!!!

Joni I

Family style sharing of food. Best with party of 3 or more due to quantity if food served. Fried pork chops are the best along with their fried rice

Bau&Hoa

I like the food and would come back. But others in my party thought whole fried fish and pork chops were a little dry.

Douglas Lee

Had the Pre-Fix dinner 🍽 + add ons. Food was awesome as well as the service. As always, leftovers to take home 🏡 even though stuffed!

Carol Mo

Split the family meal which was supposed to feed 3-4. We had 6 adults and it was more than enough. Even had leftovers. Everything was sooooo incredible! Highly recommend.

Jennifer Menor

Quick Service! Delicious Food! Friendly staff!

Eri Faagai

Pork chops😍😍 pretty much anything on the menu😎. If your looking for good eats check em out near Ala Moana. The other Side Street is on Kapahulu😍😍 you pay a little more for ambience and Location but both places are💯 🔥🔥🔥 …

Francisco Meza

This place gave me the om nom noms! I couldn't stop eating. It was so good that my wife even said the fried rice was the best she has ever had in her life. A regular night out to dinner turned out to be a date. Oh and don't forget the beer! It's almost as good as the German beer I had at Oktoberfest.

Tranylle Simmons

5 stars for the amazing fried rice. Best I've ever eaten. The Lilikoi ribs weren't that great. Couldn't taste Lilikoi at all, and the meat itself was just ok. Fast service.

Paul Dobson

DONT order the Mozzarella sticks. They cook them for like 3 seconds. Food otherwise was decent and the quantity makes up for most things including the dreadful ambience. The place should be shut down and given a HUGE cleaning!

Vitorio Lope

Excellent food such good service waitresses are very kind. Although outside looks outdated but you must try the food honestly totally worth it and reasonably priced. Very happy with everything about this place definitely come back next time we come back from hawaii. Such an awesome experience.👍👍👍👍👍 …

Don Alcantara

Ono, brah! The chicken is prolly the best chicken I had on the island!

Betsey Tsai

Amazing amazing spicy fried chicken to die for!!! The Chinese sausage fried rice is also delicious. Restaurant is like a sports bar with lots of seating. Please go here when you visit Honolulu!

jovy cleofe

Had dinner here with friends from Fiji and Guam. Loved the food! Manila clams, pork chop, vegetable salad. big sized serving. Must try if you are in Honolulu.

Pete Stebbing

Delicious unpretentious fusion food. Quick service, reasonable valet parking. We enjoyed our food- and there is a lot of it. Bring your appetite!

Precious Precious

I feel like the other location on Kapahulu has better fried rice. The ribs were dry and tough. The calamari was nice. Meh. Also no parking so yeah...

Yuri

Pork chops and chicken were great!

Christopher M Yasuma

Good local food and reasonable prices. I would highly recommend. The restaurant gives large portions that you can easily share with friends and family.

Saleem Hussain

Love this place. It is an unusual combination: hole-in-the-wall, delicious food, sports-bar-atmosphere, valet parking. Good for family-style eating. Try the ahi poke, sizzling steak.

Alexandros Brownlee

You can't go wrong with anything you order here!!!! Everything is awesome. The portions are huge family style. Be prepared..but enjoy yourself.

Heather Frost

Family style at its best. Food was phenomenal. We were in a group and ordered ten different items and there was plenty to be shared.

brian carlson

Delicious family style eating. Go with three or more for best bang for your buck. The best pork chops I've ever had!

Hapa Kolea Hapa Haole

The portions! And the food is hella good.

Lloyd Parfait

Incredibly friendly service and fantastic food... Go there hungry, they don't short you on the portion sizes!

James Mishina

Chow is AWESOME! It's family style ordering. The atmosphere is a bit mom and pop, but the food is worth the trip.

Che G

It was ok. Nothing special. Had the LILIKOI BBQ BABY BACK RIBS. Nothing to write home about. The vegetable fried rice was so so as well. Surprisingly, we struck out on food in Oahu. Including this place. We expected more.

kevin tuohy

I visit Side Street Inn at least twice with every return visit to Oahu. A must visit restaurant for authentic Hawaiian cuisine for both locals and visitors. They serve family style and be prepared to eat; the servings are huge!

Kellie Moore

Food was delicious, served family style. Spicy garlic chicken (not spicy at all) and teriyaki steak were especially good.

Not God

A must stop and try, fantastic, fresh, and local. Food is family style and generous. Come hungry leave stuffed and still wanting to eat the food is that good!

Ron Lee

Good, hearty food and big servings

Justin Ching

Parking is tough but the food is worth it. You have many great island creations that you can eat. The fried rice and pork chops are a great try.

Quack

This food is killer! I love it so much. I would eat it every day, I recommend everyone try this!

Marko S.

We come here twice a year on vacation. The food is perfect and the servers are always personable. If I lived in Honolulu, I would definitely be a regular here.

Clara Medina

Although our order was not ready at the scheduled time, the food was worth the wait. Everything was so delicious, I'm so upset, I forgot to take a photo.

Allen Agapay

Always a joint my family and I frequent when returning home to Hawaii. Ono-licious, brok' da mout' food. Fun family ambience. A truly Local Kine Grinds!!! And da Li Hing Mui margarita. . .a pau hana Friday standard

Hung Lai

You may need to make reservation if you wanna go after 6 pm. BTW, the food is a lot. One dish can share with at least three people.

Mike Sharpe

Excellent share platters of fried rice, fish, pork chops and chicken. Great local flavor at a reasonable price

Francis De Castro

Big portions, affordable price. Boneless kalbi and fried rice was delicious. Staff was wonderful and sweet.

Nichole Neal

Great local Korean restaurant. Large portions, pork chops seasoned well, beef flavorful and kimchi is a nice addition!

Charles Lamb

Always visit Side Street while we are in Honolulu. Highly recommend any of their chicken dishes and their fried rice.

Cindy Quach

This place is tucked away in some sketchy area with zero parking, so you'll either have to use the valet or the parking structure across the street. It was super packed and the famous fried rice wasn't great.

tywone hannah

Once you get past the old man's personality the waitress was excellent and the food was good and they give you alot of it.

Rolondo Steele

Absolutely way beyond my expectations! Grossly beyond my wildest imagination! It is the Hawaiian experience I was hoping for! Never will I visit Hawaii and not frequent this restaurant!

R N

Family style restaurant with local menu selections. Food was reasonably priced and tasty. Limited free street parking; valet for $6.

Dennis Smith

Pork chops and Kalbi were great, fried rice too. Large portions, family style.

Shawna Harris

Overated food, but its a cool group experience. Pork chops were okay, mostly bone. Portion sizes were huge.

Jeff

The original Side Street Inn - park at Ala Moana and walk over! As many other have said, the pork chops and kim chee fried rice are standouts. Great place to watch the game and catch up with friends.

Sandy Beach Surf Report

Great family style restaurant with great local food. Valet service in front for $6 makes parking a breeze. Very tasty food and good quality.

MSR

I like this place. Its clean...most important! The food comes in huge over-satisfying portions. Its lively, but not distracting from your own meal.

Lauititi Togafau

I like the food. What I didn't like was being told that "I can seat you now (which was about 2pm) but I'll need the table back by 5pm"...not to say we're gonna be there for more than 3 hrs...but really?!?!

George Yasutake

"Wow! What more can I say about getting ""home cooking"" in Honolulu. The food dishes were so good that my colleagues & I visited here twice. Thinking about the pan fried pork chops, baby back ribs, ""award winning"" fired rice makes me want to go back again. I will go back with more friends to try their other dishes on the menu. "

Justin McPharison

My boss claimed this was his favorite place to eat. The drink selections were minimal and the food was ok even though it looked really good.

Ednalyn Nocom

Really good food. Great for family events. Staff is very friendly and awesome. Will definitely recommend and come again

John Hills

Hard to find but well worth the hunt. Their street looks like an alley. Great selection, presentation & service. Huge servings!

Generous potions, pleasant service but dry pork chops...had them before and sorry to see quality change. Will try again soon.

Jan Noel-Smith

Great food, served family style. Make reservations. Try the pork chop and nori furikaki ahi, and come hungry, with a group.
