Birthdays and Restaurants

So the friends that I hang out with, we have realized that all of our birthdays are in a three (3) month period. For our birthdays, we have decided to go to different restaurants and to just celebrate with friends. The two restaurants that we have already attended were pretty amazing. One being a Japanese BBQ place and the other features a 5-star menu.


The Japanese restaurant was down in Waikiki just off of Kapiolani Blvd. If you have never been to a Japanese BBQ dining experience, I highly recommend it. The slices of meat that you get to cook yourself is pretty exotic. They did offer cow tongue, but most of us didn't want to have any. So as I stated before, you get to cook your own food at your table. It's a pretty neat experience. Most of the choices of meat are premium. It was also interesting that one of the dessert options were "s'mores". Yes, you read that right. I guess it is unique thing you can do at a restaurant. We definitely had some s'mores for dessert. 


The second restaurant we have been to so far was Uncle Bo's. Now from the outside, Uncle Bo's looks like a pretty crappy restaurant from the outside because it is in an older building that looks a bit run down. On the inside though, it is nice and pretty modern. Their food is amazing too. At first glance at the menu, you might think why is this so expensive? The prices are actually decent for the quality of food and the amount that you pay. It is very filling. They also have different "mood" lighting after 9pm. The only thing that really sucked was that, we had to wait for about an hour after we got there. We had called earlier to for a reservation, but they were closed at the time. We left a message. They said when we got there, that they called us back.....yeah they were just covering themselves. We didn't get a phone call saying that the time we made our reservation wasn't good. While waiting for that hour, we went down to a sushi and sports bar. Had some drinks there, some appetizers, and then walked back to Uncle Bo's. If you are looking for a great PuPu platter, you should try the Thai-Style Steamer Clams. The sauce that they serve the  clams with is amazing.
