Great food, service was good. We ordered our drinks and Six Little Piggies when we first arrived. Unfortunately the waitress forgot to put in our order for the Six Little Piggies - so our dinner arrived first. I had the Pot Stickers (crispy) and...Read More

Excellent food, had the caeser salad to start, had a lot of dressing with great flavor. We then had pupis of Dynamite shrimp, Bo's nachos and Boca Rota. All 3 had great flavors and were quite large and shareable. The shrimp was lightly breaded....Read More

Amazing food! The appearance on the outside does not reflect the food or the inside of the restaurant. It was cool, clean, and had a very good vibe to it. The service was amazing, the tourists sitting next to us were super friendly and just...Read More

The SOS was probably the best I had during our vacation. The seafood inside, from the clams to the scallops, it was cooked perfectly, soft and clearly fresh. The sauce had no reason to be that good and was made even better when...Read More

Really want to give this restaurant more stars reading the reviews below but frankly it falls down because of the amount of salt and sugar they pile into the dishes. I can now understand why Americans have a problem with obesity as they simply do...Read More

The establishment itself may not be aesthetically pleasing, but the primary consideration, which is the quality of the food, is generally satisfactory.The service provided was unremarkable, with no exceptional features. The portions of the main courses were substantial and satisfying.In terms of revisiting the establishment,...Read More

I love visiting local restaurants when traveling. Uncle Bo's popped up in a search for dinner near Waikiki. From our hotel, which was a few blocks from the beach, we had about a 15 minute walk. Not terrible by any means, and the walk was...Read More

We didn't do a full meal this time but instead tried a bunch of different apps; the cheese bread is fresh, not too doughy and loaded with cheese. Also seasoned quite nicely. The calamari is breaded but not overly deep friend. Also very fresh. The...Read More

Uncle Bo's, A must go and experience. I had the blue crab cakes and the calamari appetizers. Amazing! The crab cakes were crispy on the outside, moist and savory on the inside, drizzled with an Asian fusion glaze. Nicely done. The calamari was just as...Read More

Clams were basically inedible - tasted too sweet, almost like syrup. I am not sure if they just really messed up on the sauce that night... The shrimp tasted like straight up mayonnaise and cheese. The quality of the shrimp was also kind of small...Read More

I had high expectations after reading the great reviews. Unfortunately, I was kinda disappointed. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It’s almost like bar food but way more expensive. Bar food is not bad, it’s just bar food. We had the nachos,...Read More

Horrible experience for individuals with gluten free dietary restrictions. I ordered the chicken pesto pasta because my grandmother ordered the same dish, and it looked fantastic. So I ordered the chicken, pesto dish, gluten-free, and it was horrible. They basically served me pesto and water...Read More
