“I'm all about the AYCE hotpot game, but sometimes will indulge in a la carte places because the quality is likely better. And this was definitely the case with Ichiriki.

We stopped by around 6pm and had a short 15 min wait for a party of 2. My first thought was that it was freezing inside - the AC was blasting. But by the end of dinner it actually felt nice, so thanks for keeping us comfortable by the end.

For my meal, I orders the Minamoto set at $48 which came with an appetizer platter, chicken karaage, chanko set and shave ice. I chose the choice ribeye set and paitan broth. We also ordered the pork kimchi. All the apps were very good! At first I thought the pork kimchi was lacking pork, but it was buried underneath all the kimchi. The app platter was good and included cold tofu, edamame, poke + the karaage. The only item we didn't like was the poke - very offputting taste. The actual chanko set was also good. Even though the amount of ribeye was minimal (again, I'm more team AYCE), I left sufficiently full with all the apps and other shabu accompaniments. Now what I LOVED was the paitan broth. It was SO incredibly flavorful. I asked for a refill nearing the end ans also asked for to go containers so I could take home the left over broth and cook up so yummy ramen the next day. The ending green tea shave ice was also refreshing and delicious.

Our server was friendly and checked in with us often. Parking is easy. Will definitely be coming back and getting that paitan broth again!“

“My husband was passing by and said we should go there because there were a lot of people, so we went without thinking much, but it was really, really delicious!

It's a taste that you'll always remember once you go there.
It was my favorite meal of all the things I ate in Hawaii. The meat is so good~ The fish balls are so delicious. My husband also said it was the best. ^^ I'm going to go again before I go back. The staff are very friendly and remember me when I go back.

I need to come to Hawaii again to eat this haha.“

“Friendly Customer Service ♥️🤙🙏🏼“

“Staff was very courteous and professional- great service and good value along with the value Overall a great place for a pretty healthy dinner“

“I love Hot Pot restaurants, especially the AYCE ones. If you only eat the meats and the vegetables it makes a very healthy, low carb meal option. Its also very fun. I took my family here on a recent visit. I advise to make reservations if you have a big group or during the weekends. The customer service was good, very attentive staff. The selections of meats, seafood and vegetables was very good. Lots of choices. The cuts of meats was not the best, but good. The veggies was fresh. The ambience was very modern. They have a full service bar so thats a positive. Food quality was good. The base of good Hot Pot is the broth. The broth was delicious. Everyone in our party was pretty happy and all agreed it one of the best Hot Pot restaurant in town. This is a great restaurant for everyone to try. I highly recommend it.“

“Our 1st time @chong Qing Hot Pot, food was fantastic, great and helpful service, so much patience with "Newbies" Thank you to all the Staff We will be back“

“A hot pot, and BBQ restaurant located in the basement of Waikiki Shopping Plaza, inside the newly open food court Stix Asia. Good foods. Friendly staffs. Fast services during early evening. For hot pot, there are varieties of selections, paired with different broths. BBQ grill is also a good choice - it will be a little-bit smelly during cooking.“

“Friendly staff, AYCE is awesome for $20!! My friends and I had a blast!“

“Having a hot pot after snorkeling is definitely a good choice ??? i like the atmosphere when I came in all staffs are nice just like you are visiting your aunt's home.

We ordered curry and beef pho base, they made by many ingredients makes both more flavorful.
There are many choices of broth and ingredients. You can make your own style hot pot!!“

“First time dining here. Parking is cheaper if you use the QRCode inside the restaurant instead of the one posted in the parking lot in back. My aunt made reservations as she really liked this place. The staff were so friendly and accommodating with our requests for our large group. The chanko nabe with pork with the spicy garlic pirikara broth was tasty and just the right amount of food.“

“Super Yummy!!!“

“Came here for the $32 lunch special, what a great deal! High quality meats and unlimited sides, soda, curry and Dave's ice cream!!! Nice atmosphere, comfortable and great music. Alex our server was exceptional as usual. Love everything about this place! Our new go to!“

“The food was absolutely delicious! I love everything and how it was in such a good price for hot pot. The service was quick and got seated in minutes. The server was sweet and checked on us to make sure how everything is. I saw how quick our food came out. The food was hot and fresh and the chicken was crispy. The soup was very flavorful. Each plating was so unique and beautiful. And how we didn’t had to wait that long for our service. I will definitely come back and highly recommend others to come.“

“I've never had shabushabu before and it was amazing! So many choices of everything! It's buffet and ridiculously delicious. So much food and so healthy too. Good idea to go for lunch because it's cheaper than dinner. And they were so kind to let me and my friend sit as long as we wanted. The service was wonder. I will definitely be back!“

“Easy and yummy!! You should try!!!!“

“Update June 2025: we’ve came back for its lunch for the first time. It has a lunch set menu (and a la cart as well). I had the cold noodles and it was quite good. We each get to pick two small sides with our set lunch. You can taste the difference here as the kitchen staff clearly cared about their crafts. The price and quantity were quite reasonable. Though unfortunately, it didn’t serve Wagyu beef sets during lunch. I just have to come back again for dinner.

Update: we’ve returned for the second time in a week. The sushimis were still very fresh and the Wagyu (I had the yakiniku today, which came in thicker slices and a different dipping sauce) was still tasty. Yakiniku was good, but I liked the grilled Wagyu a bit better as the cut was more marblized than the yakiniku. I also had a caramel pudding, which was excellent.

This is a newish Japanese restaurant that serves traditional dishes of sushis, sashimi and beef. The sashimi had both local (otoro and salmon) and as well as Japanese imports (yellowtail, snapper, uni, etc.). Our order of sashimi platter was very fresh and very well sliced. We also had the grilled wagyu set that came with standard sides such as a salad, rice, pickles, miso soup, candied yam, tempura (2 pieces of shrimp and a bit of veggies) and 4 small slices of sashimi. The beef were thinly sliced and we had to grill them ourselves. The wagyu was fresh and tasted good. The service was attentive and the sitting area was pleasant. Parking can be found across the alley in the Ward Center’s large parking structure. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.“

“Great experience here at Sizzle Yakiniku restaurant! We ordered assorted meats for 2, pork belly, vegetable platter and rice. Service was very attentive and we got Oolong Hi drinks…we rarely find here in Hawaii, but loved when we lived in Japan many years! There sauces accompanied the meats we grilled at our table and we look forward to coming back very soon! Highly recommend!“
