The food was mediocre for the price. Tbh. Expected more flavor. Most items were egh, nothing to be astonished by. The service was great tho. But the food isn't worth the price point imo

Great food and service! It was quite noisy but a very enjoyable dinner. The SOS Lobster bisque with seafood was the bomb!

Decent restaurant famous for their pupus (tapas style).

Decor - decent. Exterior is unassuming and easy to drive on by

Service - excellent and friendly

Parking - street, limited during peak times

Food - was ok. Crab cakes were delicious. The nachos and dynamite shrimp were not very memorable, and the mushrooms were salty. Good selection of beers and cocktails though.

Overall - probably will come back to try more of the menu but left a bit disappointed

Boca-Rota made by Uncle Bos hands down the best pizza we've ever eaten. We did uber eats it was so delicious we almost ordered another one.garlic cheesy-bread, prime-rib strips, sautéed mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese

Great place! Cozy atmosphere. Had the spicy steamed clams and chiviche both dishes were great. Steamed clams being my favorite! Lots of art on the wall. Only had pupus but still left satisfied. Drink were great especially the Bo's lemonade! Great place for a hangout with friends or a nice date night.

Lucked out and got a table for 3 on a Saturday night. Dinner was great. We just ordered waaaay too much food. The Mango mui cocktail was lovely with the li hing mui rim and not too sweet. All the food was bomb.

Phenomenal fish. Best opah I’ve had in my life. Home style cooking but clean. You can tell they put a lot of love into their craft.

Highly recommend baked opah Mauna Kea.

Service was good had 4 in our party with all separate meals.
Steak was good. Burger was dry tasted like meat loaf. Boca rota and Alfredo tasted like too much wine in sauces and too rich. Not worth the $200 spent. Over priced and under quality. When server came and seen how much food was left over (hint) wasn't pleased

Clams were basically inedible - tasted too sweet, almost like syrup. I am not sure if they just really messed up on the sauce that night. The shrimp tasted like straight up mayonnaise and cheese. The quality of the shrimp was also kind of small and very soggy even though it was supposed to be panko encrusted. The Boca Rota cheese bread was good but it's cheese bread so you really can't go wrong. The prime rib in the Boca Rota was super well done and doused in this crazy rich mushroom cream sauce that overpowered everything. Overall, service and drinks were good, but unfortunately we did not want to eat the food at all.

What a local treasure! Everything was onolicious! Extensive pupu, (appetizer) menu. The kalua pig sliders on homemade buns were phenomenal! HUGE variety drink menu. Less than 30 minute wait for a table. Don't leave Oahu, without dining at this local gem!

This was recommended by some locals to me while on my vacation and it was phenomenal food and service. I ordered the pork belly as an app and it needs to be a main dish! The shrimp tacos were my second favorite and the spicy ahi tuna bowl wasn't something to sneeze at. Very fun atmosphere, it was a little loud at times but people were just having a good time. For those that say it's expensive I felt it was above par for quality and on par with other places for Hawaii prices.

Just plain some of the best food I've ever eaten. This is up there. Recommended by a local and this did not miss. Seems like a little bar, but the food blew my mind with how good it is. I had the S. O. S.and my wife had the prime rib and with every bite of my dinner i was blown away. The atmosphere is chill but a little loud though we were sitting at the bar. Lively, but nice. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and have dinner here.

First meal in Hawaii, and it was not a memorable one. We had ressies, got seated right away. The restaurant decor really need some work, even from the outside it did not look welcoming. We ordered the shrimp dynamite, and 2 entrees. The food was very bland. For the price we were paying, we were expecting some tasty food. Drinks was good though!

Decent place, service was fine, atmosphere was cool and casual. Food came out quick and took our reservation the same day. The food was just okay. Got the calamari to start and it was fine but slightly rubbery. My boyfriend got the seafood pasta and it was decent. I enjoyed my boca rota.

The experience was aweful. We walked in and the lady told me there was a 45 minute wait, we told then that we would wait. 6 minutes later we were seated. There were over 8 tables opened when we sat down. Apparently, they didn't want us to dine in their establishment. This place was highly recommended and they failed us. Not to leave out the fact that the wait staff was not attentive. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Unfortunately I can't give 6 stars. Our dishes were incredible delicious the baked Opah Manau Kea was so tasty I was like fireworks.
Maybe the cocktails are a bit too tasty and too strong

Attended an event in their back room there. Pupu's were ono! First time customer. Servers were on it too bringing out dish after dish.

The food was excellent. We had to order delivery. We tried for three days to get reservations. We never got a call back. FYI you can text the business number for reservations. It says text reservations on the website, but it doesn't specify what number. We tried walk-in but they were packed. It's a small, so I see why it's busy.

This place has awesome service, food and drinks! Make sure you try the Boca Rota and the Calamari!
Been here twice so far, once for an entree and once for pupus. Excellent both times!

I had high expectations after reading the great reviews. Unfortunately, I was kinda disappointed. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It’s almost like bar food but way more expensive. Bar food is not bad, it’s just bar food. We had the nachos, sliders and chicken Alfredo. Everything was mediocre. The Mai tai tasted like a cocktail from a dive bar. Not sure why this place has so many five star reviews. It’s always busy even on week days.if you don’t wanna wait you can Leave a voicemail or send a text to
Make a reservation. Text is better they said. Also, it’s pretty loud in there. The service was friendly and fairly fast.
