Therapy (sports bar and grill)

Thank god for paychecks! I decided to splurge on some good food! I took my boyfriend out to dinner at Therapy sports bar and grill.

I just gotta say thanks to Kelli Miura for introducing me to this place! Wonderful place for recreation, relaxing, and of course, "liquid therapy".

Restaurant Name: Therapy (sports bar and grill)
Address/Location:

7192 Kalanianaole Hwy, D-105
Honolulu, HI 96825

(808) 394-8200
Price range: (cheap to expensive): 3/5
Parking: Yes, tons.

Wait/Service/Atmosphere: I think the atmosphere in this place can please everyone. There's a bar, equipped with multiple flat screen TV's, multiple game areas for the kiddies (and the kiddies at heart), and a floor to ceiling glass wall overlooking the piers and the beautiful mountain range. That covers the men, the kids, and the women. Perfect! There usually isn't a wait at this place. From the times that i've gone, the place wasn't very busy, and most of the people were seated at the bar, watching some game or fight and sipping on a beer. The service is usually attentive and helpful, and not to mention quick. The only complaint is that there usually isn't someone at the door, there to greet you, but I guess that's just the sports bar scene.

Menu: Holy cow! Therapy's menu boasts SO MANY CHOICES. Two pages dedicated to just sushi rolls! There are also so many appetizers to choose from! It's like pupu heaven. This time around we ordered:

Crab Mandu with Sweet Chili Sauce


Fries with 5 different dips (there's an extra ketchup)


Wasabi Chicken


Garlic Chicken


Strawberry Mojito


... and a few beers (I'm assuming everyone knows what a Budweiser looks like)

Quality/Quantity: The quantity is good for the price. Not the best, but definitely enough for two of us to take some home afterward. The quality is what makes us go back. WOW is all I can say. The garlic chicken is KILLER! This garlic chicken isn't really like Mitsuken's garlic chicken which is a bit on the harder side and clumped up into huge pieces. This chicken is cut up a little smaller, and is deep fried in a way that makes the crispy skin pieces melt in your mouth. It's savory and delicious. YUM. The Crab Mandu is one of my favorites mainly because I have a soft spot for crab mandu. The Wasabi Chicken was good, but it didn't beat the garlic chicken. The wasabi sauce was basically mayo and wasabi (which I really like, but a little too much over the chicken). The fries were awesome; they came with wasabi dip, chipotle dip (i'm assuming), ketchup, ranch, and nacho cheese. And I REALLY loved that strawberry mojito (which comes in strawberry, lilikoi, mango, or regular).

Plating: The plating is nice, pretty much the same standard white plates that everyone else uses. Nothing too big here.

Pricing: Appetizers usually range from $5 to $10. Main dishes and rolls are a little pricier, starting at $8 to $17. Drinks range from $3 to $10, depending on your tastes. I think they have desserts, but we haven't gotten there yet.

Other: I personally recommend always getting the Garlic Chicken! I love this place, but unfortunately it's out of my way in the Koko Marina shopping center. But it's definitely worth the trek once in a while ;o)
