2023-11-03 23:46:35I had a great experience dining at The Switchboard. It is about a 5-10min walk from the Oceanside pier. I got the beef bulgogi Hawaiian plate with fried rice, and it was absolutely delicious. My other half got the chicken and waffles.We both enjoyed the food and service very much. Even the chef was adaptive and offered different options not on the menu to work with my dietary restrictions.I do wish there were an obvious entrance and also wish the portions were larger.All said though, I look forward to coming back here!

2023-11-16 16:16:04Im visiting from Chicago. I wont sugar coat it. The service was really good for a Monday night. The food just didnt cut it. Im here to eat! I ordered the miso soup and it was average. In addition to that I ordered their Top dish - Emperors Bibimbap. A huge bowl of white rice with barely... and I mean barely enough seasoning, vegetable and meat to handle a quarter of it. I did not take one bite. I showed it to the server and he agreed that it was not the right choice... ?? Its your top dish. Your most expensive dish. I should have just paid for the soup and left but...the server was nice enough to offer me to replace the dish with something else. I chose the Korean Loco Moco. Please... pray for me.Food came in, I Mixed it all up.. super salty. I mean ... ridiculously salty for anyones taste buds. Maybe an off night. I just could not eat it but still paid for it and tipped well.This is someones business investment and not an authentic restaurant.

2022-11-13 06:56:54Fun, Hawaiian/Korean fusion restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating and a fantastic drink selection.We started off with an order of the kalua pork fries, which were fantastic, if a little on the spicy side. The fries were crisp and the pork was moist.I also enjoyed one of their signature cocktails, the pillbox. This had a dusting of nutmeg that nicely complimented the pineapple flavor of the drink.My main course was their chicken and waffles. Served with a side of smoky maple syrup, this sweet and savory dish did not disappoint. The chicken was crispy, and I found that the waffle was sweet enough not to need the syrup.There are outdoor heaters for cold nights, and this restaurant is attached to The Fin hotel.

2023-07-16 00:02:48If it were possible to give more than 5 stars I would. Our server Chloe was AMAZING! She was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. She made our coffees and cocktails, and both tasted amazing. The banana lumpia and pineapple creme brulée were delicious, and very unique desserts.

2023-09-09 00:10:48Great environment and staff is super friendly. The food is amazing and they have lots of options definitely more of a Hawaiian/Asian fusion/Korea style. Not a huge dinning area, some bar seats, and you can sit in the hotel connected for inside, a few outdoor seating options just outside. Great drinks and a few draft selections. Worth a try for sure.

2023-02-28 20:10:53Absolutely lovely experience here! A girlfriend and I went for Sunday brunch and it was delightful. Theyve got a really unique menu with Korean/Hawaiian influence and the food is delightful. I had a breakfast bowl with tofu and my friend had a fried rice dish. We both also did drinks, she went for a chai latte and I tried the maple latte and the vanilla lavender. Everything was delicious, the coffees are subtle but not bland or over sweet. Really perfectly made! I would recommend the maple over the lavender vanilla but you cant go wrong. The atmosphere is cozy, the tables are comfortable and it was a great place to catch up and chat. I really look forward to coming back! Service was attentive and professional.

2023-11-23 19:40:22It was a pleasant surprise to see this place. The atmosphere was great. The food was good. The service was super slow; they were short staffed for the amount of people that were there. The server was doubling and covering the counter for their coffee shop. She excellent Cloe was her name. She could have used some help along with the cook.

2022-05-31 22:21:24This place is absolutely excellent. The cocktails were amazing and had real depth to them. The poke bowl was absolutely outstanding, I enjoyed every single bite of it! The burger was also really good. Highly recommend this place to anyone!

2022-11-26 17:36:25My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Hawaiian/Korean fusion restaurant! The bowls were delicious- I ordered a poke bowl and my husband ordered a Hawaiian meal with fish. The Korean kimchi fried rice was also our favorite dish on the menu. The restaurant had a great selection of drinks, including a delicious Mai tai. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend this restaurant to others!
