New year, new eating options

Ribs & Broth Waikiki’s Beef Back Rib Pho ($21.95 regular; $26.95 large)

Located on the lower level of Waikiki Shopping Plaza, STIX Asia is an authentic Asian food hall that goes beyond showcasing exceptional dishes and drinks.

“We hope to transport you back to the cherished memories of your past travels in Asia or ignite the excitement for your upcoming journey by allowing you to indulge in a cultural exploration through our great food,” explains CEO Frank Clark.

For the new year, STIX Asia is welcoming three new eateries: Ribs & Broth Waikiki, Ra men BARIO and Good Chicken Waikiki.

Ramen BARIO’s BARIO Deluxe Ramen ($26.98 regular; $28.98 large; $99.98 party size for four to six)

On STIX Asia’s Noodle Street, Ribs & Broth Waikiki brings a taste of Vietnam. The Beef Back Rib Pho ($21.95 regular; $26.95 large) is a leaner pho option with rice noodles.

Ramen BARIO is now back at the food hall — much to the delight of diners. The BARIO Deluxe Ramen ($26.98 regular; $28.98 large; $99.98 party size for four to six people) combines its signature Tokyo-style garlic tonkotsu shoyu soup, thick noodles, housemade char siu and fresh local ingredients.

Good Chicken Waikiki’s Half & Half Original and BBQ ($34.95 for 20 pieces)

This month, Good Chicken Waikiki celebrates its grand opening by serving up delicious Korean dishes. The Half & Half Original and BBQ Wings ($34.95, 20 pieces), Garlic Chili Chicken Wing Plate ($16.95) and Rose Tteokbokki ($16.95) are recommended bestselling dishes.

Also, for the new year, STIX Asia’s concierge desk is featuring rare whiskey selections for sale.

Clark concludes, “As we approach our one-year anniversary, we look forward to continued growth and creating memorable experiences for our valued patrons.”
