39 Best Japanese Restaurants near Ewa Beach

“I’m very happy to see a new restaurant on the west side of Hawaii! High quality of appetizers were very impressive and the Tenderloin Katsu was unbelievable. The quality of all the sushi and sashimi was superb. It was good enough for a special gathering with friends and family, even if you don’t play golf.“

“My family loves this place! I am pregnant, and haven't been able to enjoy any meat. My husband wanted to try this place, so we ordered the Kalbi BBQ. I thought I wasn't going to be able to have more than a small bite, because of my intolerance to meat. I was so glad we tried this place! I took more than just a bite, I finished everything. We love it! New favorite place! The food is so delicious!“

“More value for money! Awesome food, big savory portions! It’s also a family-friendly place! They recently added toys and a stuff toy vending machine for the little ones. If you are dining in, the ambiance is cozy, they have their own restroom. Tables are big and can accomodate bigger groups if needed. I always order from them either from Uber Eats or in-person at the restaurant for dine-in or take out! Staff is very friendly! I love going to this restaurant. It’s also close to Long’s and Foodland so if you have errands to run, everything is in one location! :)“

“We frequently get spicy ramen at this restaurant, and it's always delicious. The flavors are perfect and the heat isnt overpowering. I genuinely love this place not only for the delicious food but also for the welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and attentive. Additionally, the prices are pretty reasonable given the quality of the food, and the portion sizes are generous. Whether you're a ramen junkie like me or trying it for the first time, this restaurant is definitely worth a visit.“

“A beautiful restaurant in Ewa Beach. I had the the Korean fried chicken plate. It comes with Rice and Mac salad. Good portions of all three. Tasty sauce and great presentation. A hidden jewel in Ewa Beach. Beautiful views of the ocean and golf course. Fast and friendly service. A good variety of food offerings. Go check it out.

Parking: Lots of covered parking.“

“Byooooteeeful food. Non tourist Local grindz….. Far away from overcharging waikiki and overrated aulani… Eat with the locals thats how u honor this sacred island“

“I like the food here. We always stop here when I visit. The kids love gyoza's here but something changed and now they don't like it. I like the funness of ordering and the variety. The other day ordered a bento box it never came, so we cancelled it. But, we loved the cups they gave the kids. I liked the tempura, the corn dish, the tuna was rich this time, I also like the egg seaweed. But I did get up twice to get help, and also it could be cleaner, we were there at lunch.“

“Food is so delicious and staff extremely helpful and attentive“

“There's not enough space to right the good things about this place. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and acknowledged by everyone, including the sushi chefs. Water and drink order is perfectly timed. Whether you order teishoku complete meals or sushi, the flavor and and portions are spot on. If you choose to sit at the sushi counter, the spread is just amazing. From white fish, tuna, to shellfish and sometimes even a fruit or plant to cleanse the pallet. I would recommend reservations as this place is always busy. Takeout is also very good!“

“Finally got back to this place on a lunch run in Kalihi. When you want a hearty local style brekkie plate with the famous garlic chicken that will leave a lasting reminder when you burp all day this is the place yessa?

The place moved a couple years ago to a newer shopping plaza with ample parking across New City Nissan, and now accepts credit card and they also answer the phone to take phone orders so that helps make the lines here shorter... Iykyk.

I always get the Breakfast Combo special deluxe with garlic chicken, 2 bacon, scrambled eggs and fried rice. A classic local brekkie when youre hungry. Prices have gone up so its around $13 bucks plus tax but its comfort food. Support local.... 5 stars??“

“I'd prefer this place for sushi any day👏🏽 they are very welcoming through service. Although the wait times are longer depending on the rushes- you won't be disappointed!

Atmosphere could use some work, only because for us Polynesian people, especially are bigger than Asians so its an adjustment when you need to walk up and in the way of ppl who phone order + the workers. The walkways are really petite.

Food is 10/10😋 super tasty & FRESH! thank you!“

“Such a good experience! The portion sizes are huge! Especially the Aji ramen bowls so it’s very easy to share. We brought our vegetarian friend as well and the staff made sure to make the broth safe for her to eat. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly.“

“They had GOOD WAIT Services , FOOD WAS AUTHENTIC & DELICIOUS!!!I WILL RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FAMILY & FRIENDS TO DINE THERE!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏AWESOME COOKS & RECIPES!!!“

“Sushi Spot is truly the place to go for fresh, high-quality sushi. Everything we tried was delicious, and the service made the experience even better. The staff was so kind and attentive—always keeping our waters full and our table tidy throughout the meal. We’ll definitely be coming back again and again. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely love the food here 😎“

“Great food comfortable dining“

“Went to Matsumoto’s Okazuya for chow fun“

“Stopped here quickly to grab lunch today (9/23/2024) and everything was delicious! I ordered a chicken katsu bento box and the owner made it fresh (I heard the oil sizzling and everything). The owner was also very kind and kept thanking me for being patient even though it took less than 15 minutes. The chicken was super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I also bought a bag of Kohakutō (an agar agar candy that is soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside) and it was also interesting to try! The price for one bento box is also super good for the amount of food.“

“My boyfriend and I ordered the pork katsu curry and pork kakuni. The food was delicious, but we did have to wait longer than expected for our order. It's worth noting that this place is take-out only with no dine-in tables. The service didn't come across as welcoming.“

“Just when I was figuring what I was going to have for lunch, (since I skipped breakfast) my neighbor knocked on my door bringing food from Mamaya in Pearl Kai Aiea. I am blessed to have awesome neighbors that always share good eats with us and this is a spot I have yet to try. I was super excited because I’m originally from Aiea and anything from my hometown makes me super happy! They gave me a Bento Combo that had: Teri Beef, Fried Chicken, a slice of SPAM dipped in a teriyaki glaze, & a piece of fried panko fish with small container tartar sauce on a bed of multi grain rice. There was also a container with noodles with an assortment of toppings as well. Delicious! Very tasty and full of flavor. Noodles were firm and just right, not salty. The Beef Teriyaki was especially yummy!! I highly recommend this tasty local spot 😁👍“

“At the last minute, 3 days before my Aunt Helen's funeral, hey took my order and promised to deliver a half hour before the end of Mass. It was delicious, on time and wonderful. They followed instructions for the Bentos. They are the best funeral and everything caterers!“

“There was a wonderful koi pond in this restaurant. It was not that busy. However, they seemed shorthanded because I kept looking for the waitress for a take out box. Finally, I had to stand up and ask for one from a man in a red shirt who appeared to be helping another table. The food was good. I especially liked the tempura of pumpkin, and string beans, the shrimp tempura was perfect. I ordered miso Butterfish. My husband liked it, but I did not like that it had a lot of black char on it. I read somewhere that the black Char is carcinogenic.“

“Takeout only. Get your freshly made bento here. The price is great and it's delicious!

I got the spam musubi and the ume onigiri along with their poke bowl.

Great spot to just grab lunch for later that day.

They do have military and senior discounts on the weekends.

Overall a great spot to grab the lunch to go.“

“Good service, great Japanese food for that side of the island.“

“You will not find more kindness and hospitality than what is provided here. I visit just to buy a can soda because aunty genuinely brightens my day. I end up leaving with a bunch of delicious food because she offers more than just sushi. Thank you for being a gem in Mapunapuna!“

“Take out only, clean homey family run okazuya. They are open until they sell out! CASH ONLY! Shoyu hotdog is soooo good, fried noodles with toppings taste just like the old Sato's they took over! Plenty of parking.

Parking: Free parking lot with lots of stalls. Easy to maneuver.“

“Super clean place to grab a solid, large portion lunch. You can order hot food or you can get a grab and go bento. I really enjoyed the tempura. So delicious. I’ll go back for sure. No seating at this restaurant but limited seating is available outside.“

“Reasonable price, quality food and good atmosphere“

“Teishoku and the combination plates, fills you up at affordable prices.“

“Japanese style gyudon beef bowls in Pearl City. Located on Kuala Street next door to Starbucks in the strip mall that has Sams Club Gas and Walmart.

These guys used to be in the old Shirokiya back in the day. A bit pricey compared to beef bowls in Japan but were in Hawaii so live a little🤙They also opened another location in Kalihi but this one is easier to get to in terms of parking.

Go to is the Beef Ontama bowl or the Beef Bowl with Takoyaki. Filling and gets my gyudon fix👍They have the shichimi spice and the red ginger (kisami shoga) at the condiment table by the pick up window too.

Military and student discount available along with stamp cards too. 4 stars.“

“I visited for the first time yesterday and loved it! I ordered the mochiko chicken, which was delicious. The place was busy, with people waiting outside, but I didn’t have to wait as I sat on the bar-side seating, which gave a great vibe. They also have regular tables, but I enjoyed the bar-style atmosphere. Overall, a great experience—I’ll definitely come back and recommend it!
