Typical neighborhood bar, locals, Broncos, bar food, rock & roll, darts and poker. What sets them apart is that it’s a mom and pop, and they both work there full time. They invest themselves personally and it shows. It’s not nearly as dive-y as many bars nearby. Always clean, nicely lit and welcoming. Doesnt smell dive bar-ish either. Staff is great too, very nice people.

Tasty Tropical Treats Oasis Grill was serving flavors from the Pacific all weekend long at the Hawaiian Asian Festival in the heart of Boulder. They were the only ones on Pearl that were actually serving authentic island plates, main stream, but authentic nonetheless. They were also cooking for a cause since some of the proceeds were being raised for a family affected by the Aurora theater shooting. The food. Their chicken was perfectly cooked. Tender and juicy which is awesome ans served with a bed of steamy rice. The sauce was sweet and not drenched. I could have eaten three plates of this. As for the musubi, it was okay. I know they were pre-made so I won’t really knock them for that. Overall, I think their booth was a complete hit and the most popular of the bunch. The owners were there to cook and serve. They were nice and even took some time to talk to us. Fellow islanders always find a way to bond. After having a chance to chat and munch on their eats, we definitely want to cruise over to their actual restaurant and taste some signature dishes off of their menu.

I went here because I saw the BBQ setup outside and thought I would try it out. The food was Hawaiian BBQ and it was very good. The bar itself was small with a number of locals who did not seem to like outsiders. The BBQ was just getting finished so I had to wait and while I was waiting outside to get my food my leather jacket was stolen. I checked back the next day to see if it was accidentaly taken, but no jacket. So needles to say I will not go back, ever!

I’m going to rate this whole place as a whole. The reason why this is only a 3 star, is because their Hawaiian kitchen just closed today… After my boyfriend brilliantly suggested going to just wing it and have a nice dinner downtown, without a reservation, at 7 p.m., on Valentine’s Day, as much as any other girls who like being pampered and have their bf take them out to a nice dinner… I told him he’s crazy. Instead I came to Unilocal in hopes to find some not so fancy place, close to home, but with decent food. Fancy dinner postponed. So imagine my happiness when I landed on this place. Good food reviews, not too far, have seats opened. Jackpot. When we went there last Monday, their Hawaiian kitchen was closed, so we ended up ordering their $ 6 steak. Yes, $ 6. 2 small pieces of sirloin(I think, about ½ lb?!) on top crunchy toasted french bread, 4 pieces of shrimp scampi, side of green beans, fries(they ran out of baked potatoes), AND a cup cake with a plastic ring. That, all that, for $ 6. I mean, how much does a happy meal cost at Micky D?! The food was good, so I got over my disappointment of not getting my Hawaiian food fix that day. While I was waiting for my food, I asked about the Hawaiian food, and the waitress called Kalani, one of the cooks and owner of the kitchen, to come to talk to us instead. We ordered a lb of ahi poke to be picked up this Sunday, which brings us to today. Instead of going there for dinner, we decided to do a late lunch instead. «They’re doing Hawaiian BBQ outside in the parking lot» we were told when we called to ask if they’re opened yet. When we drove up, this reminds me of the Foodland steak plate BBQ in Hawaii Kai back on Oahu. All they had for today was huli huli chicken rice plate, and grilled oysters. So again, while we were waiting for the food, we chatted, asking if they do this every Sunday. Turns out, listen to this… TODAYISTHEIRLASTDAYTHERE!!! What!!! I finally found a place I like and they’re leaving!!! For the next 45 minutes, my bf and I ate in sadness, and every bite of the food and ahi poke just reminds us of the love(for their food) that died so young. I haven’t even had the chance to try the kalbi yet!!! So about the bar… — service is slow, small place, staff is ok. — I like how the music isn’t so loud that you can’t hear yourself think — 2 pool tables, and I think the people that play there are pretty serious players. We enjoyed watching people play while we ate. — Food, not sure about how their food future is… like I said, Hawaiian kitchen is now CLOSED!!! Without the Hawaiian kitchen, I probably won’t go anymore… Good luck Oasis Grill…

This place was recommended to me by another Unilocaler with regards to its Hawaiian kitchen and a stop for my kalbi tour. It’s a great place to watch the World Cup and an even better place to eat some local kine Hawaii grinds. The atmosphere is very friendly and the prices are reasonable. We ordered the kalbi plate and kalua pig w/cabbage plate. It came out plate lunch style with two scoops rice and a scoop of mac salad. The mac salad was more homemade style, like how tutu used to make. I enjoyed the kalbi, it wasn’t overly sweet and had the right amount of fat on it. However, the winner at this place is the kalua pig. Perfectly seasoned, moist but not watery, it’s the best kalua pig I’ve had in years! The two cooks who run the kitchen are both from Kailua and have been in Colorado less than 3 mos. They are friendly and funny. If they find out you’re from Hawaii as well, you pretty much get introduced to the whole bar. I felt as if I was back home on Oahu. I’ll definitely be back to check out the other food stuffs offered on the menu. Keep up the good work guys!

It’s a little rough around the edges but the food here is pretty good. Friend of a friend recommended it for the authentic Hawaiian food which is pretty good. Not a whole lot on the menu but I got the teri beef sandwich which tasted just like I was at home. I would head back for the food for sure!
