If you love Chinese-style BBQ, skewers, and tableside fire shows, this place is a must-try in Honolulu! We came with a group of friends and had an absolute blast. The menu has tons of options -- lamb, beef, chicken wings, shrimp, corn, mochi, tofu -- all served on skewers and grilled to smoky perfection. You pick your skewers, they grill it right there, and you get to dip them in a variety of flavorful sauces. Everything came out hot, juicy, and full of bold, savory flavor. We also tried a few drinks -- they have soju and beer, which pair perfectly with the grilled meats. Prices are reasonable, portions are solid, and the vibes are perfect for a casual night out, date night, or group hang. Pro tips: Go with a group so you can try more skewers Try the lamb and mochi skewers -- Service was friendly and fast, and the staff made great recommendations. I'll definitely be back again soon.

We did a comparison with Khan Skewer restaurant so you don't have to. It's NOT children friendly. As I originally got food delivered for my son. PLEASE LABEL AS SPICY. Seasonings.. Salt & pepper is enough to season the meats. Idk if it was marinated in a sauce. But there was way too many sesame seeds. We got the bacon w/ enoki mushroom (1 piece) it was good but smaller than KSR. All placed in one bag I had to look back at the photo to see which was which. Family liked the pork belly the best. Lamb was waaay too tiny. Would've been perfect for my son but too spicy. More stick than meat.. We also got it delivered through door-dash. I maybe go to Waikiki 3-5 times a year for dinner. Not worth it as you'll still be hungry.

VOLCANO SKEWER HOUSE If you're looking for a spot to grab a quick bite or a late-night snack, check out @volcanoskewerhouse Volcano Skewer House. It's a small, cozy joint specializing in Chinese-style skewers and small plates. They've got a great selection of skewers like lamb, beef, chicken, and pork, along with tasty dishes such as scallion pancakes, enoki mushrooms, and seafood. The seasoning is on point, and this special spice mix sets it apart. Plus, they serve the skewers on a warmer right at your table, which I thought was pretty cool. Overall, I had a blast trying out their dishes, and I'm returning for more of their squid and garlic oysters. There's just something about food on sticks that makes it so enjoyable to eat!

They have a parking behind but it is not a convention parking, parking attendant has to park for you. So, even the store owner will tell you to park at Walmart. When we enter the restaurant, that was a empty table, however, a customer's baby stroller was blocking the table, so the waitress instead of moving the stroller to clear the space for us to seat. she tell us to sit outside the restaurant in the open area which does not make sense. So I told her, why don't you just move the baby stroller and let us sit there? She did but she doesn't seem so happy doing so. Service was pretty sub-par, no smile at all, we asked for water but she forgot. We ask for paper napkins, we have to go to the counter to remind her. As for the food, you do not have to grill your own skewers, they cook it and bring to your table. They set up a warmer to keep your skewers hot but it was so weak, the meat do not feel warm or hot while placed on the warmer. We like the crayfish dish, spicy but not over powering. The salad was so so. The skewers meat are all cut into small pieces but $5 for 5 skewers, not bad. Since this is our first visit, we over ordered and end up has a lot of food. They do have a share bathroom on the same floor which you access with security code. Over all, the food is Ok, but the service was not that good. BTW, they charge 3% if you pay with credit card.

Service was a little slow but they were still friendly. The atmosphere is interesting and kinda fun. Karaoke at the bar so it's a little lively. The skewers flavor was really good. The sliced shank was good with the green onion pancake. The flavors are a little more sweet. Overall a good experience. Spot doesn't have many tables so I assume it could be difficult to get a seat on Friday Saturday nights.

Finally got to try this place out after it being on my list forever! We walked in on a Saturday night and it's pretty empty... I was like oh-oh but still decided to give it a shot We got some skewers and some seafood dishes. The garlic oysters were pretty good. The meat was seasoned with a slightly vinegary taste in the sauce and I'm just not a huge fan, same for the clams with vermicelli. It might be the taste of some Chinese region, but I've had Chinese skewers before in LA and I was expecting more of a cumin taste than the marinade they used. I got the chicken hearts and I could taste they weren't very fresh... the quality of the meat was ok and I'm not a big fan of their seasoning either... The scallions pancake was really greasy but nonetheless it was crispy and savory, just wish there's more scallion. The eggplant was not bad but again it's a bit oily for me. Our server was nice, but she wasn't attentive enough. She was at the back and didn't come and ask us what we needed. I had to keep flagging her down for napkins, more utensils, etc. I gotta say their prices were pretty reasonable though. A seafood dish was less than $20. The whole time we were there, no one came in to sit down and eat. So weird. I don't take that as a good sign... Not sure if we'll be back... we were really hoping to like it. :-/

This was the first time I've been here and it was overall enjoyable. It's a small restaurant with maybe 6 tables at most. We got the cucumber salad as well as the lamb, beef tendon, chicken gizzard, chicken heart, beef tongue, pork belly, and another beef one that I can't remember. It was relatively cheap with each set being $5 (I believe it ranged between 2-5 skewers per set depending on what kind of meat you ordered). They all had the same seasoning, which tasted good but it was a little in the spicy side and you can definitely tell it had msg in it (not a big deal to me, but just as a heads up). The cucumber salad was a good accompaniment to the meats. I'd definitely come back here if I'm in the area, but also wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

My favorite implementation of this style of skewer. Very reasonable, clean. Bring some pillows because the chairs are not comfy.

Excellent Chinese style dry rub of spices, bursting with flavor on grilled meats or veggies! The seasoning is not salty and you can select your level of chili heat. I really enjoyed this eatery, where the skewers are cooked for you in their kitchen and served on a safe heated tray. You do not leave the restaurant smelling like smoke but you do leave with a very satisfied tummy! The variety of grilled meats came out first. When I tasted the fish tofu skewer, I thought that was my favorite. Then I instantly fell in love with their tofu skin skewers and ordered more! But then the rest of our order came out and I couldn't pick just one favorite. I was pleasantly surprised with their seasoned chives. There are mixed reviews on their garlic eggplant but I really enjoyed that dish. If you haven't tried their scallion pancake, I highly recommend that, it's so crispy and tasty....we ordered another one! Their customer service was fabulous, very attentive and accommodating. Our seating area was clean. I enjoyed listening to the Chinese music playing on their big screen. Everything we ordered was excellent! Will totally be a repeat customer here :)

Romantic and fun date spot for those who are interested in trying something you can tell your friends about. This restaurant is located near Walmart in town. ADA accessible entrance, though it might be a tight fit. We had the sweetest waitress here, Vicki, who was attentive and went above and beyond for us. At the end of our meal we wanted to order their dessert, but they were out. Vicki found some Melona bars in the freezer that I think were the cook's personal stash and gave them to us with a smile. Thank you Vicki for making our stay special. The skewers here are delicious. You can order the perfect amount to be full without wasting any food. Great for groups who want to try lots of different things. The cucumber salad was a nice balance to all the meats. The only thing we can think of to make this even better, is if iSing (karaoke bar) next door and Volcano Skewer House partnered up :) these skewers would make the perfect karaoke food.
