Asian Outpost Ao Hawaiian Hideout

Nothing was fresh, lava shrimp broke apart, and the drinks were too sweet. We order the pork belly tacos and beef short ribs and they came suspiciously fast and almost taste like reheated food. They run out of the mac and cheese, we can't substitute the macand cheese for anything and they still charged us full price. I would not recommend this place

I was blown away by AO Hawaiian Hideout. Let me start with the service: the waiters were so friendly and quick. Our server apologized for the wait time for the food, but the food came out pretty quickly! They made us feel welcome and gave greatservice with a smile. The food was great! The loco moco was so hearty and delicious. I?m usually pretty skeptical of sushioutside of a Japanese restaurant, but the sushi did not disappoint. While I was not a fan of the choice of noodle for the padThai, the flavor more than made up for it. The Penang poutine was my favorite dish as the curry had such a rich flavor while thebasil and red onion perfectly complemented the sweet potato fries. And the mango colada was refreshing and came in a fun coconutcup. Lastly, the decorations and ambiance helped us to feel and home. Seeing the fun Star Wars tiki cups added a bit of fun tosuch a relaxing atmosphere. Overall, our experience at this restaurant was perfect and it has already become a favorite spot inthe city.

Last night was our first time at Asian Outpost. We chose this restaurant because of all of the vegan options they were supposed to have. And they do. I counted fifteen on the menu, which is great. That’s why I’m giving them four stars, but the food wasn’t very special. I had the fried eggless rice but it was basically rice with an indistinct sauce and a couple of pieces of veggies and tofu. The noodle soup had the same problem: not many veggies. And the fried spring rolls were too soft, probably fried in not hot enough oil and also here we noticed the lack of substance and taste.

Staff told me they are planning to feature entertainment in the near future. I will definitely be back...this is my go to for Asian inspired vegan food. Everything we ordered was delicious!!!

The drinks were really good and the servers were very nice. The food was good if not fantastic.
