10 Best Asian Restaurants in Aiea

“Hands down the best pho I’ve ever had! I’ve tried multiple spots on the island, but I always find myself coming back here. The flavors are unmatched, fresh, and comforting every single time. The seating inside is a little limited, so there can be a wait, but it’s always 100% worth it. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they do their best to get you seated quickly. Easily my favorite spot for pho!“

“Had the chicken wings, calamari, popcorn chicken, crispy buns, and chicken noodle soup with beef, mushrooms, Bokchoy, and tofu. My soul was fed, and my heart was warm. ☺️ Everything Yoyo recommended was 10/10! She was patient, kind, and answered all of our questions about the menu. Give that woman a pay raise!:) Definitely going back to try the rest of the menu:)“

“We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated at an open table. Waters, menu, and table-ware were already on the table. We ordered Kamikaze roll, dancing shrimp roll, and stuffed mushrooms and everything was actually delicious (no there was no discount for me to write a review for them, its actually good). Plates were removed as soon as we finished one roll and the next was served. We dropped a chop stick and we're immediately given a new set. Check was served immediately when we finished the last roll too. We left very impressed.“

“Went here with a couple friends for the first time and it is fairly expensive, looking at the prices, luckily the lead of the bridal party was paying since she made the reservation, otherwise this is one place I wouldn't have been able to touch for a while. As for the food, it's good. It's just your simple hot pot, we went for the basic ichiriki soup base with the PorkZilla Nabe.“

“Best Thai on the island. Always hot, perfect spice level. Great customer service.“

“​Mamaya continues to be a go-to spot for good-quality, reasonably priced bentos. One of the best perks is that (if I recall correctly) any purchase around $10 or more comes with a free bottle of water. They also offer a punch card loyalty program—though I unfortunately lost mine with three stamps on it!

The shop is clean and well-organized. You start on the right side and walk around the displays to select your bento. The service is consistently friendly, and depending on the day or occasion, they’ve even been known to give out a free single spring roll with your meal.
​
They have a massive variety of bentos to choose from, with white and multi grain rice options available, ranging from classic local favorites to more traditional Japanese styles. On this visit, I went with the Chicken Katsu-don. For right around $10, the portion and quality were excellent. It’s definitely worth the price.
​
Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a reliable dinner to take home, Mamaya is a fantastic value. Just try not to lose your punch card like I did!

Note: This is a strict grab-to-go restaurant. There are no tables and chairs to hangout.“

“YUMMY 😋 YUM! fast service and food is always 👌 😋 🔥 💯“

“servings is big and full filling“

“Yummy Korea BBQ at Pearlridge Mall is one of my go-to spots when I’m craving something flavorful and filling. What really sets it apart is how clean and well-kept everything is—you can tell they take pride in how they run the place. The food always tastes fresh, from the perfectly grilled BBQ chicken and kalbi to the crisp, well-seasoned sides. There’s a depth of flavor in their BBQ that you just don’t get at most other food court places. It feels like real care goes into every plate. For a quick bite, it’s surprisingly satisfying and always hits the spot.“

“​Curry House CoCo Ichibanya delivers exactly what it promises: reliably delicious Japanese curry. The ability to customize the rice portion, spice level, and toppings (the katsu is a must-try!) makes every visit satisfying, and the food itself is consistently flavorful, hot, and well-prepared. If you're looking for quality Japanese curry, this place hits the spot.

​The one-star deduction, however, is purely for the dine-in experience. It was disappointing to see the majority of the dining area seemingly blocked off. This left the available seating feeling cramped and utilitarian, making the atmosphere awkward and far less comfortable than it should be. While the incredible food makes it worth a trip, be prepared for a less-than-ideal ambiance due to the limited space.“
