Sad to see this place closing. It was such a fun spot in the neighborhood. it has really excellent vibes in here. I really loved the pork sandwich. The owner was working the bar. Glad I was able to stop by before it closed.

waited too long to write this review...sigh. their last day of business is unfortunately this weekend (March 9th) and I'm gonna miss them, the Hawaiian/Asian fusion fare, the extensive beer menu, the synthwavey-ish artwork & music coming from the speakers, the array of brightly lit pinball machines and its location in the outer Mission/Excelsior, amongst a passel of other eateries in the immediate area. I'll especially miss the mild to medium heat level of the katsu chicken curry, the tasty double and triple IPAs from mostly local breweries and the luscious, pillowy, chewy chocolate, coconut cream & lilikoi malasadas. the dining area is equally bedecked by dark and pastel colored walls and spaces and has a retro-ish futuristic vibe. only have been here a handful of times and wish I'd gone more often but now will be relegated to fondly reminisce of another place lost to time.

Found this place from their feature on Check Please, Bay Area! Such a cute, retro spot to drink local tap beers & snack on Hawaiian fusion small bites. My party of 4 made a resy on OpenTable the morning of and we're glad we did because it was poppin! We ate family style at a table in the back corner right under the music speaker. Bathrooms were very clean and had cute decor and a fun pink light which added to the retro vibes. Jay was a great server, as well as the owner and other workers who checked on us even if we weren't their table. Sad to see this place go, but happy I got to check it out! Best thing we tried on the menu was the miso brussels with their delicious aioli sauce.

Kale salad was differently delicious! And pinball, to boot! C check it out now. Rumor has it they might be closing in March.

Great food, ambiance is casual, service is good. Parking can be challenging since it's in the mission

It offers a rotating selection of local and rare beers, ciders, and wines, paired with Hawaiian-inspired dishes like spam musubi, poke, and loco moco, all with a modern twist. The vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere makes it a fantastic spot to catch up with friends or even go on a casual, fun-filled date while enjoying vintage pinball games.

We walked in for dinner on a weekday and am very happy we did, since there was no wait and restaurant week. The ambiance was lovely inside, with pinball machines and bright neon lighting. The spam musubi was tasty but on the smaller side, the cocktail pairing with it was below average. However, they have an extensive beer and drink menu - I enjoyed the Sour they had on tap. The small rocket salad was plentiful and had a yummy miso ranch dressing. The lamb ribs were delicious too, though one piece was dryer than the other. The Kheer Brûlée was my favorite in the set menu, as I love the rice pudding and could taste hints of the lilikoi.

Love that this place takes reservations, even on an evening in which they were holding a halloween party. They also offered a free shot of soju if you wore a costume, which we took advantage of, while ordering the soju drink special on top of that. It was all good. Off the food menu, I had the hapa corn dog without the sugar dusting, and it was a decent size and tasty. The chocolate-filled malasadas were even better, served hot with lots of extra chocolate sauce on the side. My bf got the garlic noodles with lumpia and shrimp, and he cleaned his plate too. This restaurant and bar had a colorful and inviting interior, stellar service, and pinball machines with free play during this Saturday evening halloween event. We had a blast!

Very fun vibe with arcade games in the back corner next to the bar. There aren't a ton of tables for sit down meals, so a reservation is helpful but not necessary. Brussel sprouts were very good! The pairing with their dipping sauce makes for one of the better brussel sprouts I've had. The loco moco is decent, but unfortunately not remarkable. Most of the menu options are bar food, which is to be expected. Overall, a decent place for dinner that transitions into drinks, and great for a 20-something crowd.
