Close to Waikiki. It makes for a good walk before and after a meal. The wait for a table wasn't that bad. Prices were not extraordinary. For pupus, the serving sizes were larger than expected. Some of the items were very tasty while others were awful. The Seafood Trap and the Boca Rota were both very good. I would order... More

I had a muchroom and steak appetizer which was my favorite. He had ribs and we tried to finish a strawberry... More

I went here on a Sunday evening with my 80+ year old parents. We all loved the food, and the service was fantastic. It is a noisy, bustling spot - so we were a little challenged for conversation, but our server was kind enough to place us in a back corner. We stayed close to Diamond Head, so this location... More

Uncle Bo's is not walking distance to downtown Waikiki but worth the bus ride there. Service excellent and food, fresh, hot and tasty. The city bus drops you right at their front door and with a transfer pass will take you back to Waikiki. We're glad we read about this gem of a restaurant and made the effort to go!

On Campbell and Kapahulu just about one mile off Waikiki. Reservations suggested otherwise you'll wait. By bus, taxi or by foot it's worth it. Several other restaurants close to this one. Noisy nightclub like atmosphere with great food.

We went to uncle Bo for dinner last night with our 8th old boy and what a feast we had.. From where we stayed(Sheraton Waikiki), you can either catch abus #13 Campbell @ Kuhio it will stop right in front of the restaurant..or catch the pink trolley then stop at the end of Kalakaui st then walk along the Kalahuhu...
