A Waikiki gem So glad we stumbled on Izakaya Pau Hana Base! The food was delightful from start to finish, and the shrimp was a standout. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the kind of place you settle into and don't want to leave. Highly recommend for a relaxed, memorable night out in Waikiki.

    Waikīkī’s hidden gem! You must visit this place. Went for dinner and will most definitely be back for not just dinner but breakfast too!! My wife and I shared a pear salad that did not disappoint. She had the roasted chicken and I had swordfish prepared Vietnamese style. Wow! Mochi brownie for dessert was a showstopper! Please take the time to visit whenever you’re in Honolulu. If you live here, make it a point to eat here once and I promise you it will not be your last.
