Hali’a by Side Street Inn

Located at Wai Kai, this west-side outpost translates the Honolulu institution’s communal style for gatherings and party menus. The layout pairs patio seating and dedicated private event rooms with heavyweight staples, centered on a signature fried rice packed with bacon, Portuguese sausage, char siu, peas, and carrots. Evenings bring live music starting around 6 p.m., though service can run uneven during peak hours.
