Cafe Gangnam

Restaurant Cafe Bar Korean restaurant

🫤 Stopped by for a few drinks before an event. Sat at the bar and the female bartenders were very standoffish and barely paid me any attention even if it wasn't very crowded at the time. They preferred to pay attention to Korean patrons which seems to be the norm for Korean establishments in Honolulu.... People often mention drinks, night,

    Great place for karaoke! The service was AMAZING. We reserved the room for 3 hours for a birthday party and they let us come in early to set up AND provided assistance when we forgot to bring something to cut the cake. I cannot say enough good things about the staff that night. They worked hard to take care of our 11 person party throughout the night (which could not have been easy for them). Additionally, the room was large, clean, and more than accommodating for a night of fun. We will definitely be back.

    Good place to grab a few drinks, decent Korean pupus, and hang out. Drinks are decent prices, however the flavored soju seems a bit watered down even though they say it's a full soju bottle mixed in. Had a bad experience with the karaoke room one night. They told us they were all reserved but if nobody checked in on time we could get the room. Not only did no one check in 15 minutes after the reservation, we saw multiple rooms open after waiting an hour. Seemed a little mismanaged and disappointing. They could of gave us the room for 45 minutes and we would have gladly left when the party or or next appointment arrived. But overall, I like the place and go back whenever I'm in the area.

    Went there last night with some friends and my brother. My brother and I were joking around in Korean and the door guy (a middle aged korean guy) tried to pick a fight with my brother out of nowhere acting like my brother was talking to him. Probably shouldn't hire a door guy who likes to pick fights with customers. I don't think it helps that he was drinking on the job with his friend either.

    Appallingly bad. Food was just two minute noodles, and packet potato chips. Service was lovely, but the food was just that bad….

    Emphasize do not come here. Absolutely rude staff and also especially rude front persona. This may be the worst place I’ve visited in Hawaii. Absolute waste of time. Just a gimmick. Really rude staff

    Great atmosphere, excellent service, song selection was very diverse although we weren't able to get the remote to work so we had to tap in each song on the machine. There are rooms available that easily accommodate groups of a dozen or more

    Fun place to hang out with friends. The staff is pretty nice especially if you are a regular. They have a good selection of karaoke songs to choose from so and they seem to keep them current. Overall I recommend this place for anyone looking to have a good night out
