The kalbi beef was amazing here! I’ll definitely be chasing that flavor for a long time. Never had anything like it before. The atmosphere wasn’t my favorite because it’s smaller so you can hear everyone’s conversations around you REALLY well.
Not gonna lie, this has become my favorite spot. I’ve been here a few times now and it’s one of those places that just doesn’t miss. The garlic bacon fried rice is ridiculous in the best way — super savory, a little sweet from the onions, and the eggs on top just make it. I also tried the ginger fried rice and it had this really clean kick to it that I didn’t expect but actually loved. Another time I went with the Social New York steak and that sealed it for me. Perfectly cooked, really tender, and the sauce with the onions and mushrooms was insane. It’s not just the food either, the whole vibe feels easy and consistent, like you know you’re gonna have a good meal every time. And Huck, the owner, is a great guy — you can tell he really cares about the place and the experience. Honestly, no wonder they won the Eat Honolulu Food Festival two years in a row. At this point it’s my go-to spot without even thinking about it.
Decided to come here on a Saturday for lunch after watching a guy on YouTube down a 7 lbs loco moco here. Saw their opening time was 2 pm, tried to dine here but the guy behind the counter told me the kitchen opens at 3:30. Went back home but on my route, it was already 3:15. Decided to go back and try their Social Moco. Got my food around 20 min, the proportion was pretty big. I sadly do not like eggs so I tried to order over hard, but it was still a bit too eggy for me. The beef patty with the corn beef was amazing, best tasting beef patty I have ever had. The mushrooms and onions were nice too, as well as the mac salad. I also ordered an oolong tea. I would like to come back again, but since I'm a lightweight, I don't think I would drink here lol.
I love love this place. Yummy, strong drinks and friendly service. Very clean and relaxed atmosphere with dive bar prices. The bartenders are laid back and don’t hover over you. I haven’t personally ordered the food yet but it always looks fresh. I live like a 4 min walk away definitely becoming my go-to.
