The Bulgogi Bao Tacos ($10.00) are a must, featuring succulent beef enveloped in fluffy steamed buns, complemented by pickled radish kimchi and crunchy scallions.
The culinary highlights don’t stop there. The Chicken Katsu ($17.00) is a crispy delight, paired alongside sautéed vegetables, while the Grilled Short Ribs promise a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness that practically begs to be shared. And for those looking to snack, the Pupu Platter ($22.00) offers a delightful assortment of Hawaiian favorites, including coconut shrimp and crab rangoon, ideal for sharing with friends.

“ Whats better on a cloudy Saturday than a Tiki Bar to bring the sun Walking in you can sit at the welcoming bar where personable bartenders like Adam will be making the drinks just as strong as the skull heads say they are. Our favorite is the Plankwalker. Or you can sit with a group in the back and enjoy the menu with delicious food, the Pu Pu plater and Huli Huli wings are such a great share starter and the Spam rice or Bowl are a nice dish if you want a meal to yourself. We keep enjoying it so it’s definitely recommended ”
“ Visiting from Nebraska and we are making stops on foot for a drink and the atmosphere here is really cool. Great drinks and the bartenders, Shannon and Savanna, were amazing! Gave lots of recommendations around the area. Cheers! ”
“ We absolutely love this place. The drinks are great, the service is great and the atmosphere is amazing. We highly recommend this place for a great bar experience. ”
“ Went on a weekday for a dole whip dessert. They were playing island music which went perfect with the tiki setting. From the outside, it can look closed ”
“ Great atmosphere. Very friendly and attentive server. Drinks are labeled based on their strength which is really helpful. Definitely recommend stopping by here for at least one drink if you're bar hopping. ”
“ Amazing, authentic fantasy Tiki decor, and perfect music selections (Tiki, lounge, exotica) tunes set the perfect mood. We visited early in the evening; the place is all-ages until 9 so my 17 year old daughter was able to come, too. The service was top notch, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious, I loved the Loco Moco! Definitely worth the trip ”
“ Absolutely mind blowing that this place doesn’t have a clean 5 stars. Anyone who complaining about the service probably came in drunk. Those complaining about the food need to get a grip that they’re at a COCKTAIL bar. I digress. Excellent drinks, excellent prices, excellent service. Any other major city, this place would be double the price and half the fun. Sacramento, you have yourselves a hidden gem. Don’t waste it! ”
“ Such a fun bar/restaurant! My friends and I have been coming here for a while and it’s one of our favorite spots. The service can sometimes be slow and the food is not always the best quality (sometimes too salty or not the right temperature). But the drinks and the atmosphere make up for it! ”
