Unassuming from the outside, this place offers generous portions of absolutely delicious garlic shrimp, guava chicken and bbq pork belly. You definitely have to get the Plate Lunch and the mixed entree. Our server made the experience even better. Laura was such a lovely server, with amazing recommendations and attentive service.

First time here. We ordered the Pork Belly Bao and Chinese Salad. Food was good. Both dishes came with Pickled Onions . Gotta try the Guava Chicken and the Pastele Nachos next time.

We come here about 1 a month. The food is consistently outstanding. The service is fantastic, the cocktails fun and flavorful. The local musicians they feature rotate but the caliber is engaging and keeps us coming back. We start with the pork belly bao, and mandoo, poke nachos...... add the guava chicken, pork/shrimp fried rice, a salad, the garlic shrimp.... The Saimin.... There are so many highlights.... the Kalbi ribs..... Getting hungry just thinking about it. It's a great family style restaurant but also comfortable for a party of 2-4. Honestly it is one of my favorite local restaurants on Oahu. We have never had a bad experience here. Every visitor who comes, we take and introduce to Beastside. They always ask to come back on the next visit. It's a good one outside downtown to put on the "Must do" list.

Food was superb. Clean healthy ingredients. LocoMoco and Korean Plate was generous and awesome. Island Salad was fresh and crisp. All wait staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming. Live music was excellent. I felt right at home. I can't wait to go back again.

A hidden gem on the east side of the island! I seen this place so many times on social media and decided to finally come out and try it! I'll make this short and sweet! Service: Very friendly staff! When we came it was early they had just opened, so it wasn't crowded at all, we got seated right away and served right away as well. Food: The pastele nachos were delicious, the Ahi was super ono, and the pork belly was surprisingly really good as well. We also got a lilikoi pie to go, which honestly didn't make it home because I ate it all lol it was so bomb. I will definitely be back to try more of the items on the menu.
