The food was amazing. We ordered a few dishes to share. We also chose delicious cocktails on Boo’s advice. They were all unique and flavorful. The atmosphere of this restaurant is intimate. We sat at the bar and it was super cozy. I recommend sitting at the bar when making a reservation.

The food is good, but the cocktails are the main event. I had 4 rounds of drinks and loved every single one of them – all very unique and balanced. I appreciate a boozy cocktail, but these are art. Both flavor and presentation.
The dessert was the best of the food we had. Key lime pie was delicious, Spanish octopus was fun. Everything else was fine. The Mac n cheese balls are literally*just* Mac n’ cheese balls. Nothing crazy.
It’s a tapas restaurant and we had 6 food items, and that was just enough (with cocktails)
I wish I had gotten more pictures of the interior, because it is lush and beautiful.
Will certainly visit again.

This is a unique, hidden gem. The first time we were in the area, we walked by it without even noticing! The entrance is between two buildings and they have an outside area with couches and other comfortable seating while you wait to go inside, and you can order drinks while you wait. They also have a valet service to assist with parking since there didn’t seem to be many parking spaces there.
Though the outside area is between two buildings, it is covered with tarps overhead and they have nice string lights that run along the top, and the sides of the buildings surrounding it have beautifully painted murals on them so it doesn’t at all seem like what it is.
Once you get inside, the place is relatively small but they fit a bar and several seating areas in there and make great use of the space. The decor is really something, the wallpaper is beautifully decaled and even the clock on the wall is fascinating, letting you see the inner workings.
Our server was friendly and helpful and was able to give us recommendations or explanations for anything we asked. The food is tapas style so expect appetizer size dishes. We ordered honey style chicken, beet salad, Cesar salad, lobster rolls, octopus, fried pickles, mac and cheese bites and more. All was delicious and delightfully presented.
In terms of cost it is on the higher side. With drinks and food it was over $400 for 5 of us, but I think for the experience and how good everything was it’s certainly worth it!

Blind Ox is a little off the beaten path and provides an intimate experience. The bartenders and waiters are personable and attentive. I would definitely seat inside the restaurant as the ambience really sets the mood. The food is amazing along with the drinks. Everything is well balanced, thought out, and delicious. The food is Japanese inspired and fused with Western Cuisine. Drinks are over the top and everything is beautifully plated.
Been there twice and highly recommend. The food is meant to be shared tapas style. Price point is high, but worth it. Dishes I particularly liked was the A5 Wagu Sandwhich, the King Crab Tempura, and the lobster rolls. Favorite drinks was the Tokyo Nights and a new matcha inspired drink I forget the name to.
Anyways writing this review makes me want to go back there! Don’t miss it. Also if you can’t dine inside, you can usually get after dinner drinks at the bar. Definitely get a drink or desert inside if you can’t get an indoor table.

Amazing food and atmosphere! Service was wonderful, attentive and super quick. The drink flights are worth it! And loved the ambiance and music!! Must go and check out! You’ll be going back! Also love that there is $5 vallet parking (plus tip).. makes it so much easier!

The service and food were superb. Valet is available for $5. I highly recommend this location and reservations. It has more of a dim light ambience with Spanish influences. You don’t have to shout to hear others at your table either.

~*I went for my birthday and LOVED every moment of it. Boo was my bartender and she is simply amazing. She is very knowledgeable of the products and creates the best experience and cocktails. She was very attentive. The ambience is great. I highly recommend visiting the Blind Ox for an excellent experience.*~

By far, my favorite dining experience yet! This place blew me away. The atmosphere here is amazing! Attention to detail was given when they put this place together. I was astonished to see how the interior was set up. The bar, the seating, and the experience are unparalleled. I love it! The staff killed it too! Customer service is top priority here. They made sure I wanted for nothing. I could not believe the quality of the food and drinks on the menu. You can close your eyes and point to the menu and you’re guaranteed to love it! I would recommend this place to anyone. It was such a great experience! Please try it at least once. You won’t regret it!

Our recent visit to the Blind Ox in Hawaii turned out to be an unforgettable experience, reinforcing our tradition of seeking out speakeasies in our travels. This particular spot has earned a high place in our memories, thanks to its exceptional attributes.
What really set the Blind Ox apart were its impressive food offerings and the distinctive layout of the bar. The culinary selections struck a perfect balance between classic and innovative, with dishes like scallops, creme brûlée, and Affogato standing out for their exquisite flavors and presentation. Each dish was a delightful surprise, offering a unique twist on traditional favorites.
The drink selection was equally remarkable. We ventured both on and off the menu, guided by the expertise of our bartenders. Their skills were truly amazing, as they crafted each drink with precision and flair. Among our favorites were the Tokyo Night, which offered a refreshing and smooth balanced not to sweet and not to sour; the classic Daiquiri, executed to perfection; and The Madrid, a drink that was both bold with pops of flavor from the chili and tamarind rim to bring an amazing flavorful aftertaste. Each cocktail was a testament to the creativity and mastery of the mixologists at the Blind Ox.
Overall, the Blind Ox provided a multisensory experience – from the ambient setting to the delectable food and outstanding drinks. It’s a speakeasy that doesn’t just serve drinks but creates memories, making it a must-visit destination in Hawaii for those seeking a truly exceptional speakeasy experience.
