    Been coming to hideout for 3 years now every time my wife and I visit Oahu and it never disappoints. The Hamajang Board is a must order. The pork belly Brussels are definitely my favorite and my wife ranks the ahi sashimi with some of the best she’s had. Vibe is always on point as well. Theres plenty of great food around Waikiki but many places in the area are lacking in this department so it definitely sets the hideout apart. Every live music act or DJ I’ve seen there have been great. We’ll keep coming back.

    This restaurant is on every best restaurants in Honolulu list, so I felt compelled to try it. Dinner on a Wednesday night and they were fully booked. We had appetizers, cocktails, entrees and desserts. Everything was great or excellent. My only quibble is that the rice noodles in the Pho 75 were too soft. We enjoyed the food and experience so much we are returning to try the lunch menu. Restaurant is vibrant and energetic. Great for socializing and conversation. I can confidently recommend this restaurant.

    Amazing food but watch out for a lack of attention from certain servers as Bailey did nothing but take our order and essentially abondon the table in addition to not offering a printed bill but when reviewed on handheld had incorrect items charged. First time in years that I felt the need to lower the tip due to poor service. Hopefully management starts paying attention to customer satisfaction. All this is unfortunate as the menu and food is absolutely perfect!!
