A night in downtown Honolulu
Checked out Yusura restaurant in downtown Honolulu(Read some reviews here and here). Should have took pics but didn't have my camera. Always seen it driving down N. Beretania on the left side before the Chinese Cultural Plaza but haven't gotten around to eating there. It's a good place for cheap eats. I had the chicken katsu curry / mini ramen set with six pieces of gyoza. The ramen was kinda normal, nothing special. The curry and gyoza was good. My friend had the pork fried rice which looked pretty good. Overall 3.5/5 stars. Good food, quick service, and cheap.
Checked out Next Door (Read some reviews here and here) I usually don't venture on the streets past the one Indigo restaurant is on heading towards Chinatown but that's where the club was. Wasn't mugged, drugged or beaten up so that was good. Did run into two beggars in the span of half a block but that's about it. Bar 35, and thirtyninehotel are located on the same block which are other cool places to hang out. The scene was fresh compared to the usual fancy Club Pearl, Oceans, Zanzabar scene. Nice high ceiling with a big open area for hanging out or dancing. The crowd started to build up at around 11pm and was pretty crowded at midnight. Don't these people have jobs??? Good mix of people with a mainland SF feel. Would be a great place to check out when they have a live band. Kinda one of those places, where you can wear anything and you won't stand out. It was 80's night so they were playing a bunch of good songs. Later it progressed to house music which was cool too. Beers were kinda expensive at $5. I don't want to know what the mixed drinks cost. We left at 1am(much too late for a worknight but it was fun). Getting up early wasn't too fun though. At least I didn't have a hangover. Next time I'll take some pics to post...Her'e a link to what it looks like and the people that go there.

I ate at Yusura 2 or 3 times when they first opened. I thought it was pretty good. Parking is hard though. Haven't been back since then though.
