We are local to Oahu but I often encouraged friends to make the walk from Waikiki for great eats. The portions are very big so to go with a group so can get lots of tastes to share

My hubby and I ended up here based on TA reviews. You will not be disappointed. I had the pocho clams. Amazing! We also tried the Hoison ribs, fried rice and pork buns. I did ask for a smaller rice portion so not to waste but they wouldnt serve it that way. The rice plate is served to feed about 6 people. I knew it would be way to much but the waitress said leftovers are fed to the pigs. All the food plates were good and would definitely return

I had the Kalua Pig Sliders, they were AMAZING! I highly recommend them! We had an early dinner, so not having a reservation wasn't a problem. Any time after 6 I'd recommend making a reservation.

Based on reviews, we hopped in a taxi and got a ride to Side Street Inn. The entrance is on a small street, hence the name side street I guess. We got there about 5pm on a Saturday night and it looks like we beat the crowd. Seated right away with no reservation and we got a booth. Server was very pleasant and bubbly personality. We ordered the Pocho clams, Kalua Pig Slidahs, Hoisin BBQ Ribs, the famous Fried Rice. Yes that is an enormous amount of food for two people but I had to try some of these dishes. We asked the server if they could give us a smaller plate of the fried rice but she said it is not wasted, what you don't eat goes to our pigs. Okay, we didn't feel so bad after that. Well my wife loved the clams, she said it was a great broth. The sliders or "Slidahs" as they say were on point. The fried rice was as good as they claimed. Lastly the ribs were very tasty but just a bit tough for baby backs. Hard to chew the meat off the bone. By the time we finished dinner, the place was crowded. So overall we were very pleased with our dinner and glad we chose the Side Street Inn. I recommend this place.
