Sealida’s 5-star review: Honestly, I am long overdue for a review. Small business owners of literally just Jess & her husband (the delivery guy xD) , is able to make the cake of my dreams. I have been sneaking tastes of the cakes, cupcakes, and cookies from this baker for well over a year now, because her husband would bring over goodies to work for celebratory occasions. Talk about a sweet friendship. Btw, I am sooo picky with desserts, but I LOVE desserts. I hope that makes sense because Jess, the baker of Damduk, made that "cut" in fulfilling my sweet tooth. Not too sweet, pretty in appearance & edible without all the fondant. My personal favorite is her carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I am not the type to go out of my way for carrot cake, but hers is moist & spiced up so right, you'd think it's fall season with every bite. & that cream cheese is so (insert Pacha meme from Emperor's New Groove). Red Velvet is another good flavor to go with the cream cheese icing. Trust, I am not an icing fan (i usually scoop icing off) but her Swiss cream is palatable. Messaging through IG is how we communicated and she is pretty straightforward. Pick up is in Aiea and delivery is extra & optional if you got a lot going on your plate. I have been looking for some sort of excuse to buy a cake from her & my birthday is so far away or I am always traveling for it. My fiancé took the initiative & custom ordered it for our engagement day & it was the cutest surprise! The cakes that I have gotten from this bakery has been so special & memorable for me. I really appreciate Jess and her hard work into making the cakes so perfect for me. It is so nice when you find a reason to celebrate & you know it's going to be a good time because you are assured that the product will come the way you want it, if not, better. I am so happy to do this review & I really hope Damduk Bakery gets the exposure it deserves :) -

Sealida’s 5-star review: Ride up the ramp towards Ala Moana and then hook a left to park right across Jamba Juice and this delicious place. The Alley is also nearby if that helps identify where this location is. I came to dine in on my own initially. And it was a happy mistake. I came home with Uber yummy leftovers. The portions are meant for sharing. The sizing is yuuuuge. And I ordered not one, not two, but three dishes for myself. I cannot, NOT order their mouthwatering chicken. And I was craving intestines and I needed some veggies to balance it out and went with en choy (my favorite!) If you know what mala is then these dishes have it! It is the numbing effect you get from eating spicy food, which is more specifically tied to Sichuan chili peppers. So lovely. It's the type of spice that makes you want to eat more. The mouthwatering chicken is great. Everything i expected it to be. FYI, it's cold and bone-in so expect that when you order this. The intestines are stir fried so it's a bit oily but it's got nice flavor and a chewy texture and pairs nice with the bell peppers and onions. The actual dried peppers are abundant in this dish btw. The next time I went was with a friend that did not like spicy food but surprisingly was cool with dining in here and loved the lamb on toothpicks. It's fried lamb with a strong cumin seasoning taste over a bed of what seems like lay's baked potato chips haha. It was not too spicy and not gamey which is why I think she liked it. We also got the pickled Chinese mustard green soup with fish. Think spicy and sour. We went mild with everything though and you can always get their mala spice on the side if you want to make yours spicy, which is what I did. The fish is easy to eat and reminds me of home food. Definitely need to try the spicy version next time! & I mentioned this already but geez, the portion is a lot. We took a lot of leftovers home even between the two of us. My favorite from top to bottom of what I tried : Mouthwatering Chicken Chili dumplings Fried intestines En Choy DanDan noodles Lamb on toothpicks Fish fillets with pickled vegetables Will come back for more since it's hard find a place with this much variety :) -

Pork CHEEEKSSS!Sealida’s 5-star review: PORK CHEEKS, pork cheeeeeks! Hello, yes, there is more to Ramen the toppings, and I understand that and took those factors into consideration. But that special tho! Their special comes with the toppings separate from the broth and noods. I think it's because of the delicacy of the pork cheek toppings, that they do not mix with the soup. Which, I can understand, being able to tear them apart with the mighty strength of my chopsticks. It was fall apart, melt in your mouth. Joy. The noodles were perfect firmness and the broth was exactly my imagination of what it would be like to sip ramen broth from Hokkaido, brimming with comfort. The Shio char siu ramen tasted too porky for me but if you love pig, more power to you. Special shout out to the salmon ikura bowl. It's a small appetizer size bowl of cooked salmon and raw ikura with a sweet sauce mixed in the rice. Definitely upped my cravings for the salty, fun bowl of ramen coming afterwards:) Enjoy! You'll find this spot on the left side of Don Quijote. -
Good variety of beer. -
Get their noods. You won’t be disappointed. -
Cheap bentos to go for lunchtimes. -
Yes, their BENEDICTS. -
Poke nachos!!! -
Sealida’s 5-star review: This place now accepts card! Yayayay! Happy days! I can now come here and not struggle bus to find an atm. My go-to's here are any of their wraps, particularly their AHI WRAP. I've had their Roast Beef French Dip Sandwich too and it's amazing. Their sandwiches/wraps are, let's just say consistently filled with a lot of ingredients that are packed with flavor. Their additional sauce is almost not necessary but it is a nice additive to change the flavor profile as you are eating it. But I feel light in terms of finishing a meal and being full but not food coma full:) Maybe this is what it means to eat healthy food? PERFECT after a hike by Diamond Head or surfing by Queens. Other things I've tried are their smoothies and I can attest that they are well made as well. Nothing too sugary or tropical smoothie material where you taste that extra added sugar. Their green smoothie tastes really healthy like yup, there are veggies in here haha. -

Their SALADS omgSealida’s 5-star review: The friends and I ordered literally half of the menu. And I can safely say that all of their salads are spectacular. The one that stood out the most for all of us (4 of us were in attendance but we ordered 3 salads haha) was the softshell crab salad. It was the favorite of the table, the showstopper, and it had a lot of complex flavors that just makes you want to eat more. The pennywort leaf salad gives off a more nuttier impression so if that's up your alley, go for it. As for thr tea leaf, it's probably the best overall for a good salad:) Also got the crispy tofu salad filling, the Burmese samusa, both were great but the tofu appetizer is not as a wow factor as the upcoming dishes. As for the main courses we had the lamb burmese curry, the golden fried shan tofu, another curry, and coconut rice to bring it all together. Overall, this place is a real big hit. And I love that it's not too crowded when you avoid the weekends. Still reserve a table! It's a smart move if you are planning to eat here at night since it does get busy. -

Love this homey spotSealida’s 5-star review: Absolutely wonderful quaint space for indulging into your Italian cravings. If you ever had fresh pasta, there is no going back and I very much love a restaurant serving quality pasta!! This place has options but they also have their recommendations, which I SO appreciate. I came here the first time ordering a Tako Salad ($22), tried some Chicken Picatta, Spinach Ravioli, Nero di Seppia, and their Spumoni. The tako/octopus salad might seem a bit steep in price but it is SO WORTH it. It was seared to perfection and tenderized just right where at this point, our table of four was bargaining over the last pieces of octopus. Fresh pasta is so soft and yummy feeling in your mouth. They do exactly the job of lapping up the sauces they accompany with. My favorite is pappardelle, but it wouldn't pair as well with my craving for a lobster seafood pasta, which the chef recommended to go with linguine. It is definitely better since the sauce is light. I had the Aragosta, which is a mellow take of seafood pasta IMO. But, the savory flavor from the butter and wine carries it well, making it easy to eat and not feel too heavy from the load of carbs you're intaking. My brother had the Bolognese and LET ME TELL YOU, how bolognese is my favorite type of pasta because it is the type of savory dish that you eat, there is comfort. This Bolognese is exactly that. It is full of zest and just so likeable :) The outdoor seating is also quite lovely. It's very cute and nicely lit for that whimsical feel. & their house Chianti is actually pretty smooth without so much of the tannin or dry aftertaste. Only had 3 wine selections if I remembered. 2 red and a white. Splendid spot. This is a recommendation, for sure ;)
