Business Description from the Web

Hosted by a few of Honolulu's best chefs, this restaurant opens only after these chefs' own kitchens shut for the day. Because Side Street Inn is located on the busy industrial side of town, it's a bit on the pricey side but well worth it. Contrary to what you would expect the food is delicious and they serve big portions, although it's high in calories, the people love it and that's why its... more

Famous as the place where celebrity chefs gather after hours, local boy Colin Nishida's pub is on an obscure side street near Ala Moana Shopping Center. It is worth searching for, despite annoying smoke and sometimes surly staff, because Nishida makes the best darned pork chops and fried rice in the world. Local-style bar food comes in huge, share-plate portions. This is a place to dress any... more

Editorial Reviews from the web

Befitting its name, this Honolulu institution--a favorite of area chefs--is tucked away on a nondescript side street.

In Short Chefs from some of Honolulu's top restaurants join locals at the bar and in the booths of this down-and-dirty spot on a side street near Ala Moana Center. Neon beer signs, a dart board, and a spirited, unpretentious vibe create a welcoming atmosphere for a lively crowd of local regulars. Diners enjoy pupus, tapas-style servings meant to be shared. Portions are flavorful,... more

Tucked away in an alley is the legendary Side Street Inn. It is family style dining where you order a la carte and share. I would recommend the fried rice, pork chops, korean bbq, and sauteed mushrooms.

It's some good eating here.

Pros

+ Fried food and sodium in large quantities and fried rice

Cons

- Hypertension and high cholesterol

Side Street Inn is perhaps the single most overrated restaurant in Honolulu. The number of people who rave about the foodmake this restaurant a must eat. There really isn't anything that makes Side Street better than hundreds of other places.

YOU MUST MAKE RESERVATIONS FOR DINNER. At least give them a day's notice. You might not be able to get in on the day of (I know because my friend couldn't get us in). Otherwise, you WILL be waiting at the bar until a table opens. The food is worth the wait. Hot, flavorful, with very generous portions. All the smells and textures of local kine cooking. The only thing that was lacking was... more
