We were seated in the first section of the restaurant (direct entry from the back parking lot). There is a second room where they seat larger tables/groups. This second room is where they position a local musician/entertainer on Friday nights. The pros of dining here: 1-they source their bread from Breadshop in Kaimuki; 2-service is patient in explaining the portion size of the different appetizers and mains; 3-free parking is available albeit quite snug and requiring fellow drivers to be conscientious about their parking style; 4-awesome musician on Friday nights; 5-small but delightful flourless chocolate “cake”; 6-interesting wines by the glass. The cons: 1-value for money; 2-clams were served slightly raw/undercooked; 3-octopus and lobster portions were pretty small in their respective dishes.

Chef’s inventive and interesting flavour combinations made our dinner a delicious culinary journey. Service was attentive and thoughtful. The lobster noodles, simple and so well prepared. An enjoyable evening!!

Intimate bistro setting. Service is excellent. Unfortunately, the acoustics of the dining area are not so good — we couldn’t hear ourselves over the loud group seated next to us. The food was uneven — the salad of bitter greens was delicious; the seared hamachi was a bit overcooked and dry; the desserts were very good. Nice array of drinks.

The Abalone from extra dishes menu was excellent! It was so yum! I enjoyed the Burrata salad – that was a 10/10 salad. Other dishes were good. But I felt the pace of the dishes were very rushed… I sat down at 620pm, and was in my Uber going back to the city at 728pm… just under an hour for the whole experience… Felt like a fast food chain with really good food than a restaurant serving proper 3 course menu.
The experience was let down by the service. To be fair, the two girls in front of house worked really hard to attend to everyone. Unfortunately, I felt like they were missing a lot of the fine details in services. They were so occupied with clearing the tables, fetching the bills, placing orders, and bringing plates of food to the room packed with people. The whole experience would be more personal and memorable if they had another person there sharing the load.
I really want to LOVE my experience at Threadfin. But I walked away feeling disappointed…

Even though we were running late, they were very kind and accommodated us. The restaurant isn’t very big but I like that. They have a small prix fixe menu with a couple of add on appetizer options. Food was delicious and I love that it’s BYOB! I remember Chef Jason from the Food Company in Kailua and was so happy that his beet and apple goatcheese salad was available! It’s so delicious!!!

Incredible restaurant that is much welcomed in Honolulu! There are very few prix fixe menus and this one is exceptional and only 3 months old! Such a delicious experience, I highly recommend getting 1 of everything; you won’t want to miss all the flavors as each dish offers something unique. It’s a small, speak easy-like vibe and the staff are so kind. Make a reservation & check it out!

Loved the food here at Threadfin! Small quaint bistro located at Kilohana Square, just make to enter from the rear. The prefix menu selection was great! I do highly recommend getting the escargot but it’s with Kona abalone as a starter which is an add-on but with the cognac butter sauce was amazing!

You can park in the rear of Kilohana square… where you walk through an unassuming door, and are welcomed into a beautiful intimate bistro. They are known for their affordable set menus, that often change frequently to offer you the freshest unique experience. Each plate we had was an edible piece of art.

We had a course and Hokkaido scallops appetizer and we both enjoyed our dining experience! The food is carefully prepared and the presentation was amazing. I liked how compact and cozy the restaurant was. We didn’t know but it’s BYOB so if you want to bring, wine would be great choice to enjoy their meal even more. Highly recommend!
