Pandora Café

Okay this is a cute little hole in the wall spot. Its not your average fancy places your use too! However it does the job! You feed it money for credits and it plays the songs you want. Everything is in a big black book and its listed by the songs first name. This part was tough!! I wish it was by artist and not by song... It made it so much harder to find the songs we wanted... Now lets move on to the food!! The short ribs were too die for!! SO tasty!! The food alone gave this place a 4 star honestly!! The sushi was my favorite and everything was served quickly! Lastly, our room was very big and we really enjoyed our time... We shall be back!!

We've had two visits now and I can definitely say I enjoy myself here a lot more than that _uck _utt spot lol. Service here is much better and parking isn't the best but definitely way better than there too! Personally I've only visited at night and found a spot within minutes of turning into the street. I believe meters are free at night but if you're there in the day, bring quarters...The vibe here is chill but fun. Dart boards near entrance. Bar is nice and open. Good amount of both seating. The first time we came we reserved a room in the later part of 2020. It was a bit of a hum trip being that alcohol was put away promptly at 10p. 2nd visit we were able to babysit our drinks til midnight. The room was so spacious that 3 of us turned it into a dance club. Good times. The reason I took a star off was for the reservation deposit. A deposit is required to reserve a room which I get. What I dont get is that we got there quite early prior to our reserved time and decided to pupu & drink at a booth. We changed our mind about the room because someone from our group couldnt make it. It was a bit of a disappointment that they still took the deposit even though we kept our business there. It wasnt like we stiffed them and they completely lost $ because of our cancelled room. But whatev, times are hard for everyone and rules are rules right?All the foods we ordered were awesome. I have yet to try their oyster shooters, I'll keep trying. Drinks are great and prices are good. If you're looking for karaoke, food, alcohol and lots of fun, this is the spot. I think everyone can have a good time here. Just be sure about your plans when securing a room and reserve in advance.

A Magnificent In Your Face Honolulu Hood True School.Public Metered Parking street side(s).Their Kitchen Is Great and Local Flavor. Mr. M Cheezy, DJ G-SPOT Kaiser Soze, Blue Eyes, Sean Penn, Kate Moss, Lewis Hamilton and Bennie Boom have been scene holding court at Pandora Cafe.

I've been a regular customer here for the past 7 years. The owners are a very nice couple. They and the workers there are always attentive and respectful. My drinks are never empty, and their food is always top-notch, especially the sushi. My favorite is the lobster Dynamite and Teriyaki ribeye steak because it comes on a sizzling platter, which makes great videos on my social media page. Karaoke rooms are always clean. They also have a huge variety of flavored sojus. Sometimes, they have them on special for $15, which is great for my pocket.They also have a new machine that takes tap payment, in case you forget your wallet.I'll always keep coming back to this place. HELPFUL TIP: Make sure you bring your ID and call ahead to reserve a room. Sometimes, they get booked up. But even so, you can still chill in the dining area and play darts, which is always a plus for me.

Made a RSVP and put down payment for a room that they then gave away so they was trying to ignore us. Service was horrible. The lady who was taking my order was as if she was on drugs. Mind you, she had saliva on her clothes and basically couldn't even stand. Ordered food around 830pm didn't receive them till 9 - 11pm.I don't care about being the opps but this place is a no for me. If you want drugs, maybe. But for service, no.

These are one of those rare nights where a few of my friends and I felt like unleashing our inner American Idol. After dinner, my friends and I decided to hit up Pandora Cafè which is basically a bar/karaoke lounge. The front area is where the bar and some tables are for eating and drinking. I believe I saw some dart stations also in the front area. The back area are where the karaoke rooms are. Not sure if they have a different size rooms, but the room we were in could easily fit maybe up to 6 people. Parking is in the back area of the building and to my surprise, parking was free. We were given a parking pass upon booking a room for karaoke where you would have to display on your dashboard. I'm not sure if it's standard, but my friend who came here last time for karaoke also said they got free parking. Definitely a huge plus! Parking is shared with the other business in the same building complex so it can fill up pretty fast.The staff here was nothing but great! Upon entering, we informed our host that we wanted a karaoke room and within seconds, we were shown to our room. Our waiter was also great. He kept on checking on us every so ofter making sure we were ok with drinks.The only minor con I have was with the karaoke equipment. We were provided with two mics, but for some reason, when both mics were turned on, only one would work at a time and the audio was going in and out, but if we turned one mic off, the one left on would work fine. We did inform our waiter and he was kind enough to try and find out what the problem was, which wasn't really resolved. Not really a big problem as I didn't really want to hear my voice anyways, so we just all sang with one mic. All in all, it was a great place to end the night with some friends.

I have gone from a weekly regular here to an every now and then-er. The current owners are super kind and nice people.No outside drinks (even hydroflasks with water).What sets Pandora apart from most karaoke bars is the fact that some of the karaoke rooms have dart board machines in them. This is pretty unique and cool. I'm not sure if they still have multiplayer remote play (with camera) but that's fun too.For the rooms- Aux and karaoke switching are pretty fast so you can take a break from singing if the group is out of breath. The AC is usually pretty good in the rooms. Some rooms have better selections of songs (the room with a window to the main bar). Songs are still a dollar per song here (a lot of places now charge 2$)Pandora used to be a super Korean bar so they still serve all the flavored sojus as well as normal drinks, but don't expect the fixings of a Korean bar here. The soju flavored drinks here don't compare to Gangnam or Sojubang, but they still taste alright. Our water pitchers were never empty for long and I appreciated that.This bar has stood the test of time and I hope they stay open for many more years to come.

pandora always a good place to go to have fun. i like to hang out here because they are always good to me. i like the spicy tuna rolls on happy hour. 2 for $5 you can't go wrong.my friends like to come here on the weekends because it's always busy.it's loud sometimes but it's a bar. i like to drink jameson and on Wednesdays they have it on special for $5. the other customers who been coming here for a long time always tell me this is the best karaoke bar because they make you feel welcome and take care of you like family.when i'm in the area, i will always come here.

We happened to look up this place as this was the second restaurant that served Ube soju shots. That place ran out when they opened so they lost our business!This place was rated ok but took a chance anyway. The outside of this place looked skeptical and thought it looked looked like a small joint! Once you get in, it had a bar and several bench seats. You can tell it was a little run down but it's been here awhile. The seats even had holes that were taped up with scotch tape! That was funny!Every though, we came right when they opened, no lines, no one was inside but we were greeted well enough. We found out the owner Chris was the greeter and he was very cool and easy to get along with!! It happened to be happy hour. They had some great deals on drinks and appetizers. We ordered spicy tuna hand rolls and calamari! They were very good! I even ordered seconds on the hand rolls! We also had their soju carafe of Ube and Melona honeydew! Those were big carafes and very good! Their shot glasses were huge but we didn't complain! HahaI am glad we came! Even if a little run down, we felt welcomed. We got to play darts for a fee and were offered a karaoke room to sing but sorry... none of that for us!! When we come back to Hawaii, we will definitely consider coming here for the food, drinks and service! [130/100]

We reserved a room for 6. Paid $25.00 for 9-11pm then another $25.00 for 11-1. But that's not it. They charge 3 dollars for parking but write a paper ticket to put on your dash. Then it was $2.00 a song...the Mic wasn't working too well. The sound system had static and it wasn't too good. We ordered Soju and regular price was 20.00 but they said since we rented a room it's 18% surcharge so it was gonna be 25.00 a bottle. I don't think 18% is 25.00 but we were shocked that everything was more expensive because we reserved a room. I asked an associate what the extra charge was for....and then she said gratuity. So at this point I'm confused. Just seems like they're finding ways to charge extra money.Yes they did give 2 hours for free...just realized that. Also read the sign before entering that says after 8pm was free. But anyways, no we tried to move around the room and even move apart and adjust it to fix it. Sound system still not great.
