Skull & Crown Trading Co.

Ive been to many bars in my life, especially ones which specialize in bespoke cocktails. This bar was one of the best. This tiki bar had some of the coolest artifacts I've ever seen. The bartender, Mike, was really attentive, recommended drinks that matched our tastes and his presentation was excellent. The Skull and Crown was a good starter, but i was blown away by their Crystal Skull, Old Fashioned and Bird of Paradise. Also, the food options were also good too, I would recommend their Lucky Lantern Chicken and Ube Tres Leches. Skull and Crown should be on top of everyone's list.

Where do I even start with this spot! I’ve been wanting to get to Skull and Crown for ages and finally did! The decor and atmosphere is everything you could ask for in a modern tiki establishment. The cocktails were the best I’ve ever had in my entire existence on this earth. The menu complimented their cocktail perfectly. Highly recommend! I know I’ll be back for sure.

Don’t come to Skull & Crown if your goal is to get sloppy drunk on tiki drinks. Not because it can’t happen, trust me, the pours are generous, but because that’s not the point. In a city where every corner shoves a happy hour Mai Tai in your face (spoiler: those aren’t Mai Tais), Skull & Crown offers something different and memorable. If you want the snob’s Mai Tai -- the kind reverse-engineered from Trader Vic’s original blueprint and balanced like a tightrope walk, you drink it here. My husband and his best friend are amateur mixologists with a copy of the Smuggler’s Cove cocktail book dog-eared and stained with every flavor of simple syrup known to man. The redacted Dagger Mai Tai on their menu (you'll know it when you see it) was developed with Smuggler's Cove. When you start making your own syrups, buying obscure spices no one keeps in their pantry, learning what "balanced" actually means in a glass, you stop seeing cocktails as alcohol delivery systems and start tasting them like cuisine. Listen, I still love a trashy happy hour with bottom-shelf booze, but Skull & Crown reminded me why it's called a CRAFT cocktail. If Olive Garden is the fanciest restaurant you've ever been to and suddenly you have some money to spend, you have to experience fine dining just for the sake of it. This is that equivalent. However, I'm just a stranger on the internet, so, do whatever you want. I'm not your mother. That said, the cocktails are only half the story. What makes this place a hidden gem isn't just feeling like you're in the live action Scooby Doo movie, but the staff. Our host, Christopher, helped us shift a late-night reservation when we dropped by early after the Bishop Museum. Tina, our server, was stellar: attentive, honest, and sharp as a blade. She suggested we spike the Ube-Bae (listed as a mocktail) with a splash of rum, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it became the best drink I’ve ever had: a boozy "milkshake" made of purple dreams. I’m now on a personal mission to recreate it at home. It's going terribly. Tina also suggested my second drink, the Pua 'Ula'Ula, based on what I liked: once again, spot on. She knows her stuff. My one regret is not getting the bartender or kitchen staff's name. The food was great, too. Shrimp ceviche and squid skewers, if memory serves. We ordered mostly to avoid the spinning-room sensation after round two, but it was good, better than it needed to be. Do not skip dessert. Get the ube tres leches (you'll thank me!!) My husband tried the Dagger Mai Tai, King Ko Swizzle, and the Clarified Zombie. We wanted to keep going, believe me, but we’re in our thirties now. There's a fine line between revelry and ruin. Before we left, we picked up a bottle of their Traders Club Kila rum, partnered with Ko Hana (the local distillery) and a souvenir glass by a local artist. Skull & Crown is serious about drinks, serious about detail, and fully leans into the tiki camp with an intimate, local touch.

What. An. Awesome. Place. Our group made reservations and had an amazing meal here. We were brought here with the promises of good tiki drinks and they absolutely delivered on that. We figured we'd have dinner here, but I ended up ordering almost one of everything. What an incredible meal! Everything was incredibly flavorful, well made, and somewhat complex in the flavor composition. I only regret is that we didn't have bigger stomachs to order more food. Ceviche, lettuce wraps, nachos, noodles, Ahi... We just went on and on with our ordering and eating. Highly recommended.

Came here with a group of 4 and had a great time. The drinks are tasty and well decorated. The staff is also super friendly, shout out to Tina! Would highly recommend.

I was so happy that we made it to Skull & Crown. It was on my list of places to go when I did my research before our trip. It’s so worth it even if it’s out of your way!! But make your reservation on Resy ahead of time when possible. We finished our work event and I noticed it was only 15 minutes away from our location so I tried making a reservation on Resy last minute but the next available spot was in two hours but I was able to join the wait list and half way to the place I received a call from the location that they could fit us in. Right when you walk in you fall in love with the place. I absolutely loved the decor and vibe of the it all. Our seats were at the bar and it was perfect to be able to see the awesome two bar tenders make all the drinks and ask questions on the menu. For drinks we each had a Honolulu Beerworks PGB to start and I had to try one of the mixed drinks after seeing all the different ones they made. I ordered the Dagger Mai Tai, very tasty but with that name you can imagine it was very strong. And what was cool/funny is that on the menu it’s the only one that doesn’t have a description, to quote the bar tender it’s been “redacted”. For food we started with the Nacho Ragoon and our meal we had Lucky Lantern Chicken and the Whole Fish. Everything was beyond delicious! I looked right away to see if we come on Sunday night but they are closed on Sunday and Monday so be mindful of that when planning your visit

The vibe in this place is absolutely incredible! We truly felt like pirates hanging out in a local cantina, and the music made us feel like we were part of some epic movie scene. The drinks were just as impressive – creative, unique, and full of character. Thanks to the help of the super friendly staff, everyone in our group found something they loved; they asked about our preferences and recommended perfect choices for each of us. Another thing that made our visit even more special was how engaged the staff were. When they noticed us admiring the décor and taking pictures, they started sharing fascinating stories behind some of the decorations. For example, we learned that the beautiful mermaid sculpture above the bar was actually modeled after the owner’s wife – such a charming and personal touch! It really made the whole experience unforgettable.

I appreciate a tiki bar with their heart in the right place. It's actually difficult to find this kind of tiki bar in Oahu. Very well decorated with kitschy Oriental and Polynesian tiki brick a brac. Nice ambiance with lighting and small little touches like the lights flickering when it simulates a storm. They actually play exotica music, which tells me they know what they are doing. Food was pretty good. And the drinks were what you would expect. I'd recommend the crystal skull (hints of nutmeg and a nice blend of spices). The server was nice and responsive. Not too pricey for the area. Small space (but most tiki bars are) so I'd highly recommend getting a reservation. They also close a little earlier than most bars, so I would probably get a reservation for 7 or 8pm. Overall, a great experience. My only disappointment was they had no merch. They do, but it was all sold out. Not being able to get a mug at a decent tiki joint saddens me a bit. But what can you do.

The rangoon nachos were excellent and I don't really care for seafood! Not that it was very seafood to begin with. The size of the place is great. It wasn't too crowded on a Wednesday night. We're still glad we had a reservation though. Ordered the Dagger Mai Tai, Lapu Lapu, Bird of Paradise, and Zombie. With the nachos bill was $99. They were all great. I don't know if it's because I had it last, but the Zombie was an Avengers level threat and put me on my butt.

This establishment is much more than a tiki bar or rum joint. The drinks are elevated and purposeful with excellent presentation. I can't say I begin to understand the levels because I am no craft bartender but I definitely enjoy sipping on these libations and they pack a punch. The food is so inventive and Laotion which is not something I have had before this restaurant. I love all of the dishes I have had the pleasure of trying. The Lucky Lantern Chicken, the Crab Rangoon Nachos, the Shrimp Skewers, the Shrimp Ceviche, the smashed potatoes of which I cannot remember the name and have such a refreshing taste. The food is for sharing and plentiful per plate. On average when I eat here I leave stuffed and haven't made it to dessert. One day I hope to mention how that part of the menu tastes. To recap, you must try this place and I'll be back!

From the street, this restaurant does not look like much. Upon entry, however, you are transported to a venue that reminds you of the Pirates of Caribbean but Hawaii. I do not rave this much about decor, but Skull & Crown Trading is unique. The food and drinks are just as good as the decor. Most of the items on the menu are meant to share, so this is the perfect place to go with friends before going out on the town. Everything was delicious! I cannot recommend the lucky lantern chicken enough. We got two orders of it because it was that good. Our servers were friendly and were attentive to our needs. I would highly recommend going here!

Amazing experience every time, does not disappoint! Very elevated and sets the mood with its dark ambience, perfect for couples or even a group of friends grabbing drinks and some bar bites. Always warm welcoming and all the times I've been here we were able to walk in and get seating. Drinks and food have always been a hit.

I worked in Chinatown years ago when this place was called 2 Jacks Bar. Wow, what a pleasant change. They even got rid of the old smell. I like rhum drinks and they don't disappoint. Friendly service and eclectic menu. Put it on you "dive bar" list

Wow! Skull & Crown blew us away with their attention to detail, service, and drinks. The decor seems very thought out and there are things to see in every nook and cranny. We were in Hawaii celebrating an event- knowing about my reservation, my best friend called from the states and asked them to make our night special. And boy did they deliver!!! They made our night super fun. The 3 dishes we had were yummy, but the drinks were the most memorable. The collab between them and a California based tiki bar was a Mai Tai that is out of this world! And their mocktail with Ube left me wanting so much more Ube! The bartender Mike made me an off menu Ube tiki drink and it was extremely yummy. I'll definitely be back if I'm over in Oahu again!

We came here as a recommendation from a friend. The location is not great in downtown Chinatown. We got towed after 30 minutes and the signage was not marked nor was the sidewalk painted. A $200 bill plus the dinner... The inside has a unique ambiance. It's dark and Hawaiian but underwater type theme. It was cute but small. We sat at a long table with a booth on one end and a chair on the other. It was nice and tight with our neighbors. We had the rum flight, which was unique and yummy. The presentation was beautiful on a barrel piece. The rums were Hawaiian and unique. Our waiter got our original drink wrong after we specified which one. We ended up keeping the wrong one and getting the original one we ordered. He did not offer to take off the mess up off our tab. The pain killer and the crystal skull were both great drinks! The crystal skull was dark liquor but sweet and also subtle. The ceviche to start was the best thing we ordered all night. It was a different ceviche than what I'm used to. It had more of a thicker coconut base but it was absolutely delectable and the shrimp chips paired with it were fluffy and the perfect touch. For dinner I had the noddles, which I thought were pretty good. I think they could have been a little spicier. However, I do think the shrimp portion was large and accurate for the pricing. My husband had the ribs and while the meat fell off the bone, it lacked sufficient flavor. Everything is ala carte. Portion sizes are decent. Probably would not revisit.

Love everything about this bar! This is a small tiki bar/restaurant with super cool eccentric decor. The vibe is dark and intimate, perfect for a date night. For drinks we got the dagger mai tai and clarified zombie. The dagger mai tai is strong and fruity. The clarified zombie is on the lighter side but also had a nice fragrant aroma. We were very impressed by the food here. The Rangoon nachos were a total hit. Nothing beats crispy chips topped with crab rangoon filling and sweet chili salsa. We also liked the clams in broth fish. The broth was on the saltier side but it was packed with flavor. The workers were very attentive and friendly. Answered our questions about the drinks and checked up on us often

Dimly lit and nautical-themed with touches of tiki flare. Expect intermittent flashes of light (simulating lightning) around the bar area. Service was timed perfectly such that my hand was never without a cocktail. Highly recommend making reservations because the place is small so seating is limited. THE FOOD. - Nacho Rangoon | Wonton chips with smoky swordfish, spicy pineapple salsa, cream cheese queso, and cucumber slices. Weird pairings of ingredients but it felt right and I loved the flavors. Highly recommend. - Mermaid Purse | A big ass tapioca shell (similar to a shrimp chip, texture-wise) filled with a salad medley and tomato adobo vinaigrette tossed in. Slices of sirloin beef and shrimp top this dish. Vinegar, citrus, and cilantro prominent. Wasn't a fan of the tough sirloin beef, but maybe this isn't typical. - Halo-Halo Tart | Lemon sorbet, red beans, and ube cream all in a graham crust. Interesting take on a Filipino dessert! Definitely something to try out. THE DRUNK DRINKS. - Dagger Mai Tai | Citrusy, cinnamon. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. - Navy Grog | Bitter like my soul with a twist of grapefruit. Love. - Hanalei Moon | A spiced up pina colada on steroids. Delicious. - Painkiller | Tropical flavors and a little clovey from the nutmeg. Nicely done. - Kewalo's Creme Ale | Crisp and light. THE PARKING. I was expecting a bustling Chinatown with extremely difficult street parking, but nah. Chinatown was eerily quiet. Parking was easy to find and free after hours. COMING BACK? Absolutely. What a great restaurant with wonderful cocktails.

Service was awesome! Serious aloha here! Came in on recommendation from another place. Looking for cake and they had a great une très lèche cake. It was dense but good. The atmosphere was great and fun. And located downtown Chinatown it was a welcome change of pace. Definitely coming back.

Amazing drinks, food, and especially service. The staff were so friendly with awesome recommendations and had some of the best service skills. The food was also so delicious! Very unique fusion dishes. The atmosphere was super fun and very tastefully done. Love it! Can't wait to come back :)

Came to Skull & Crown with friends on a recent trip to Honolulu. The outdoor seating area (shared with neighbor restaurants) is one of the things that stood out - kind of felt like a night market. Very cool! The drinks were great and potent. No watered down beverages here. For food, we ordered the kalbi, nachos rangoon, potato nanban, misoyaki eggplant and gingerbread pudding. The bread pudding and potato nanban really shined - we expected something different from the description of nachos rangoon since we love crab rangoon. In any case, the food was really solid. Service was friendly and attentive, and for 3 people the total came out to $183 including tip, or about $61 per person for drinks, entree and sides and a dessert. Will definitely bring friends back next time I'm in Honolulu.

Stopped in Chinatown after a day at the Bishop Museum and found this hidden gem of a tiki bar. The food was on point, (we had the lettuce wraps, the kalbi ribs and fluffy jasmine rice) - everything was so fresh and the flavors were both subtle and delicious. The chef is a sweetheart and all of the staff are so friendly. Drinks were beautiful and tasted fantastic! We will definitely be back soon!!!

The atmosphere is good, a mix of Hawaiian and goth, I'd say. The atmosphere is severely hampered by the imposition of virtual menus. This business has lost out on a good opportunity to add to their atmosphere with a unique physical menu. Also, the LED lights at the tables should be replaced by oil lamps, candles, or the like! The food had good presentation but was expensive, especially for Chinatown, and I would say the flavor was lacking a bit. The S&C Noodles dish left an odd stinging taste / effect in my mouth. I did really appreciate the copper drinking cups, though!

Came here while searching things to do in Chinatown. The place didn't disappoint, we were able to get a walk in table (online was all booked out until late night). We ordered the nachos Rangoon and lucky lantern chicken. The nachos were soooo good!!! Swordfish nachos for $16?!? Honestly this alone made it worth it. Tiki drinks were a solid price compared to main Waikiki area. And i like that the owners are so protective of their dagger Mai tai ingredients that even the staff don't know what's in it.

Great kitschy ambience. Tasty food (we liked the Rangoon nachos the best), and great team of servers!

This is not my first time visiting and definitely not my last. For myself I don't drink often but definitely enjoy a good cocktail, but also have a few cocktails for those that don't drink at all. A variety of cocktails and beers. Something for everyone. A cute quaint tiki bar. Our server was friendly and gave recommendations that were superb.

Awesome tiki bar. Well worth a stop. Lots of good cocktail options and decent food. We shared the nacho appetizer. Tina was awesome!

Been wanting to try this place, though never in town. Didn't have a reservation though they did squeeze us in for one cocktail. Will definitely make a reservation for another visit.

Pros: Drinks, food, service Cons: Not a huge place Details: I would say get a reservation if you have a large group. We lucked out because a large group left shortly after we arrived and they were able to accommodate the 12 of us. Christopher welcomed us in and even gave us recommendations and Sophia was a wonderful waitress. I didn't catch the bartenders name bbut he was working alone and never got a chance to slow down. Again, I can't say enough about the service, it was 11/10. The drinks were also eexcellent but my favorite was the Dagger Mai Tai. Just delicious. Other drinks were all good too and we tried almost everything bbetween our group. Did I mention the service (Christopher, Sophia) was great? Because it was exceptional!

Great food, drinks, service and ambiance! Matt was such a great server too . Def a spot to stop by

For ambiance alone, 5 stars. Cake 4 stars. Service was great! Adorable hostess. One of the cooler places to get into. Definitely coming back!

We started our happy hour early, and ended our night at the Skull. What a fun place to come to! I do recommend reservations because the space is cozy. Lots of fun seafaring things to look at! I ordered the Taboo and it had a really nice kick to it! The shrimp ceviche was delicious! And I really liked the eggplant. The ice cube in JoJo's Crystal Skull was really cool! And the smoking Trader Noa's was also very good and loved the presentation! We ended our nosh with the halo halo tart...sooooo good! Our server was great! The manager was really cool! We had so much fun! This is a great place to come to either to start or end your evening. Mahalo Skull & Crown

I want to go back to Skull & Crown Trading at least once a month! This is the perfect date spot! I'm so happy I was finally able to attend with my husband. Yes, I said 'attend,' because it felt like a culinary event! The drink creations were unlike anything I've experienced on Oahu in a while. I love that the drink and food menus offered something uniquely different! I have to go back for the dessert, it looked amazing! The entire team was so artistic and hospitable. I felt like we became instant regulars, they were all so attentive and kind. Even the other customers were cool. Just an overall delightful experience!

Exquisite drinks. Clarified Zombie was insane. This place competes with Strongwater in Anaheim! This is no cheesy tiki bar, drinks are legit. We only had chicken and rice, and it was fine. But again, the drinks are insane. The bartender was very nice and knowledgable about the drinks and processes of creating them. FUN! Also, China Town is so beautiful with all of the original architecture.

Walked by this place and had to check it out. It's a very authentic well done tiki bar, not tacky. They have a legit Mark V diving helmet and the rest of the decor is top notch as well. The drinks were just as good as the ambiance, and Mike the bartender made the experience. Will be back, and with friends!

Just a couple of miles removed from the slick hustle of the usual "meh" beach hotel mai-tai's is Skull & Crown. This place offers "The Dagger", the best mai tai I've ever had in Hawaii. But they are secretive about it, as the menu blanks out the ingredients. I told the server it was the best I'd had since I frequented Smugglers Cove in San Francisco. She told me that the bartender actually had developed the recipe with the folks at Smugglers Cove. For me, that is the ultimate seal of excellence. Didn't try any food, but we just loved the atmosphere and decorations. Rum, don't walk, to S&K.

Hey local folks.. Check this place out! Yeah it's a tiki bar but it's definitely not a cheesy, touristy tiki bar. There's so much attention to detail in the decor. There's something cool everywhere you look. I figured the place would be cool but wasn't sure about the food. The food was super good! We got the nachos, potatoes, and kal bi. Every dish was excellent. Even the slaw that came with the kal bi was delicious! And if you going out, you wanna have decent service. The service was amazing! Everyone was super friendly and attentive. Go check em out!

This bar is definitely one of my faves here in Honolulu! If you come here, sit at the bar for the best experience! Our bartenders were the best were they gave us a show and watching them make those beautiful drinks was fun! Service was top notch plus presentation of everything from food, drinks, decor in the bar. Food was great! Gotta get their Lucky lantern chicken! We also enjoyed all their drinks! Painkillers drink was my fave! Ava Ava mai tai was lit up which made it fun. Bartenders also graced us with a mini fire show. Such a fun experience and there's no other bar like here in Honolulu!

We didn't have a reservation but they let us walk in. Our server was super nice and answered our questions about various drinks. The drinks were tasty and fun, and the snacks went well with them. The place is kitschy in a good way. We will return!

I love me a themed bar! The tiki bar decor was a mix of spooky and pirates or the Caribbean vibe. I love how they put their own spin on Mai tais and there is so much to choose from. 2 different Mai tais I tried had a "show" that includes fire. Highly recommend these. My personal favorite was the pina colada. Saturday night had live entertainment at the piano and they were amazing.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere here. The tiki theme is so well articulated, with the aesthetic, ambiance, food and drinks. Our group had quite a few drinks and dishes, all so delicious. The a/c works well here, and the staff were really nice. Our whole party loved the experience.

I really enjoyed my time at Skull and Crown Trading, and look forward to going again! We went around 7:15pm on a Friday night, so we were very lucky to get seats at the bar. It is a small place, so I would recommend reservations on Friday and Saturday nights. We were greeted by Christopher, who took excellent care of us; he even chatted with us and answered all our questions. It is a tiki bar, and I think that's what gives it its fun personality. They paid a lot of attention to decor with many cool antiques. Even a piano for live music Saturday nights. The drinks are impressive and the food is good. I definitely recommend the Beef Skewers.

We went for my husband's birthday, and those cocktails.... ay, que rico! They know their stuff. The place has a super cool vibe, very laid-back and fun. You feel like you're with family! We had a really good time, just enjoying the drinks and the buena onda. One little thing, I asked for a candle for the birthday drink, and nothing happened. Qué pena! But anyway, you should totally check it out. You'll love the drinks, te lo juro!

We were visiting Hawaii and stayed by the area. We saw all the amazing reviews and we had to check this place out! We were able to get a reservation through Resy last minute. We came for 10pm, sucks that we had missed their last call for food. However we had the skull drink, bartender said it had 6oz of liquor in it. Obviously we were down. The presentation was amazing! Drink tasted great, we can definitely taste the liquor in there. It has a pretty spooky decor. The place closed at 11, we had a drink and left. Definitely recommend!

If you enjoy tiki bars, Skill & Crown Trading is a must visit. The drinks here are well-balanced and there was not a single drink I tried that was too sweet. As someone who enjoys alcohol-forward cocktails, there were two drinks I was excited to try: Trader Noa's Old Fashioned and the Dagger Club Killa. These drinks were stiff! If you're looking for an over-the-top cocktail that's perfect for social media content, look no further than the Skull & Crown cocktail. When you order this drink, it comes in a giant skull vessel and you get a fire show to accompany the delivery of the drink. In addition to wonderfully crafted cocktails, the food here is also quite good. I had a chance to try out the beef skewers, misoyaki egglant, shrimp ceviche, kalbi ribs, and autumn spiced apple cake. Of these dishes, I enjoyed the beef skewers the most. The beef was incredibly tender and the chimichurri sauce smothered over the top was well-balanced. The other dish I really enjoyed was the dessert. The apple cake was moist, not too sweet, and the apple bits were a good crunchy contrast. Service here is also fantastic. Our server Tina had great recommendations for both cocktails and food. Throughout our meal, they were very attentive clearing our table, refilling our waters, and checking up on us as well. I am definitely stopping by again on my next visit to Oahu.

A few drinks into the night and everything started getting fuzzy, but core memories of Skull & Crown were amazing vibes, great service, delicious food, and amazing cocktails. Peep all the pics! My personal favorite was the one that is espresso martini-like. Our server made great recommendations, and we definitely ordered a few based on seeing them on nearby tables. The 2-person drink definitely has a wow factor with a little fire element. Really enjoyed the cinnamon kick on it. Food wise the nachos, potatoes, and pineapple upside down cake were so good! Definitely wanna come back to try more dishes. They share bathrooms with Olays in the courtyard, but also have a single bathroom in the restaurant. Smack dab in Chinatown so parking can be a challenge, although there are parking garages nearby. I hear there's live music some nights, so we'll definitely be stopping back to check that out. Reservations are easy to reserve via OpenTable on their website.

This little hole in the wall bar in Chinatown is absolutely amazing, the ambiance, food, and drinks! Our server gave us great recommendations for drinks and food. Our server's name was Tina! We ordered the Crystal Skull, Dagger Mai Tai, and Koloa Colada for drinks. Which we rated. 5/5 for all three drinks. My Crystal Skull was insanely smooth, but appears like an old fashioned drink. It had less of an alcohol aftertaste than the other two! The food we ordered are Lucky Lantern Chicken, Beef Skewers, Misoyaki Eggplant, and Potato Nanban. The Lucky Lantern Chicken was nicely seasoned and big portions as well. The Beef Skewers with Chimichurri sauce were amazing. Everything is definitely recommended and tried! Worth the visit tenfold!

I'm a big tiki fan and was a little skeptical of this place at first because many tiki places in Hawaii are not authentic. This place blew me away with drinks, food and ambiance. It feels like elevated tiki without losing the essence of tiki. They also lean into "macabre" tiki which gives it a more unique vibe. The entire drink menu embraces tiki but offers unique takes. The clarified vombie is a must order for anyone. The food was also excellent and embraced the tiki nature of being delicious but with unique flavors you can't quite place in a way that makes you feel like you are in a delicious exotic land. We are already making plans to come back this trip, and this will absolutely e a staple of every Oahu trip moving forward!

I think I've had one of my the best service experiences of my life. Matt and his co-workers really did an amazing job. They, especially Matt, obviously take pride in their work! They were speedy, responsive, and accommodating. For drinks, I only had the Crystal Skull but it was really great. We had the S&C noodles and the mabo dofu. Both were very nice. I think I preferred the mabo. Can't really put it into words why. Definitely try the ube tres leches! I really liked that the bar wasn't crazy dark. I went with someone who is low light intolerant. Would totally recommend, thanks Matt !

We love this place! My wife and I have been to Hawaii 3 times and have been to S&C 6 times that should tell you everything you need to know. The food here is awesome. The drinks are amazing and the staff is second to none. The staff is incredible, from the hostess to the wait staff to the bartenders.

Perfect Tiki Cocktails! Bartenders really knew their stuff. Great service and ambiance.

We found this place to go to for dinner during our visit to Honolulu and it did not disappoint! I love how the place was decorated! It's definitely a tiki bar you'll want to visit! The host and waiter were super nice and always checked in with us. Their food was amazing! It's kind of a type of Asian fusion food that I've never had before so it was very unique for us. We got the mermaid purse (a large plate for sure! The beef sirloin was flavorful and the herb salad made the dish more refreshing with a nice crunch from the tapioca shell!), the nacho Rangoon was so tasty and a great appetizer, Neptune's Harvest was probably my favorite dish (the seafood in it was so fresh and the broth was so flavorful!, the potato nanban was my least favorite dish (they were big potatoes that seemed to just be fried and tossed in some sauce). All of their cocktails looked interesting, the ones we tried were strong but yummy! I would definitely come back here! It's also a nice place for small groups!

The service was absolutely perfect! Staff were engaging, and answered all of our million questions. Food was sooooo delicious - better than anything we've had in Oahu. In fairness - the area it's in is not awesome. But get an uber there and back and you're totally fine. So worth it, I promise!

Great place. The decor was awesome inside and the outdoor patio was a great place to sit, surrounded by a water fountain, lots of greenery. Food was great and the service on parallel. Major shout out to our server Mat who was nothing but helpful and friendly from the moment we walked in.

We went for a birthday party and had the whole place to ourselves! The food layout was beautiful with everything spread out on the table and drinks all included. The staff is great and responsive to any requests! The decorations and fun and never get bored because there is always something new you find.

The staff is very friendly and super helpful! The bartender helped me pick my first drink and she was spot on! The place itself is small but very well decorated to fit the tiki bar theme. They had a live band and singer which was very lovely. BUT I really wish they had AC because it was a little warm when I first arrived and only got warmer as I had a few drinks. I ordered the shrimp ceviche which was served with shrimp chips and it was AMAZING! I would definitely order this again. I also ordered the nacho rangoon. I thought it was waaaay too sweet with the pineapple AND sweet chili sambal. I decided to replace it with the Beef Skewers. Which were very delicious! Perfectly cooked and the chimichurri was a great topper. I also ordered another drink: the Taboo without the absinthe and I very much enjoyed it. The ginger gave it a bit of a kick which I welcomed. I would come back to try more drinks and more food. PLEASE get AC.

GM Chris & our server Tina made us feel welcome and well attended. Each cocktail & dish we ordered had an excellent presentation and bold flavors. Will definitely be back to try out their back patio!

I would add another star if i could. so this review will have to suffice. Our server Valerie was engaged and so warm and welcoming. 10/10 Would recommend! Ambiance, music, service, and food were just... chef's kiss.
