Carp Dori Yakitori Japanese Restaurant 2F

We visited your restaurant today, but the overall experience was very disappointing. First of all, the restaurant only accepted cash and did not allow card payments, which was highly inconvenient for customers. Secondly, the dishes were served very slowly, which greatly affected our dining experience. What upset me the most was that we were forced to leave even before finishing our meal, which is completely unacceptable. Finally, when I paid in cash, I felt the service did not deserve any tip, yet the staff insisted on asking for one, which I found unreasonable and unacceptable. For all these reasons, I will not be coming back again.

Had an amazing experience here while going on a trip. You can tell it’s a high Japanese restaurant when you walk in and they all are speaking Japanese… great food and service and view.

Loved the place that I went back twice during our 3-day Oahu trip.

Food - authentic! Also so happy they offered sweet sauced skewers and I enjoyed those so much. Wings were especially good, though generally skewers seemed more salty during the second visit and had less Teriyaki taste. Motsunabe so good too, very flavorful. Delicious small dishes as well and even rarer ones like raw marinaded squid that bursted out with juice/ink(?) in mouth, fried oysters and so many more. Loved the syrup-mixed chu hi like peach and green apple, would recommend more than lemon and lime. Also great price too!!

Atmosphere - looks just like a Japanese Izakaya place, cozy and nice. Also great that it opens til midnight and saved our stomachs on the arrival day.

Service - waitresses were kind. 8/22 late night lady was super friendly and smiling all the time, offering great customer service!! 8/24 7pm lady kindly helped get skewers all recooked after miscommunication on flavor, and gave good food reccs.

Hubby and I decided to stop by here for dinner after a workshop. They were quite busy. This place was really.noisy tonight. The food was okay this time around. Hubby got the Tempura 🍤 Value Set and Hiroshima Ramen. The Tempura was too greasy so we took it home to air fry some of the oil out. He liked the Hiroshima Ramen. I got the Paitan Shoyu Ramen. It was really salty. I only ate the ramen and did not drink the soup. I kept drinking water when I got home. Maybe those was an off day for the chef. We enjoyed the food here before and will definitely come back. The staff are very nice and service was great. 👍🏻

I like to come here a lot, either alone or with a friend, usually just get the Okonomiyaki or a Ramen. Most of staff seem to be native Japanese. When it gets busy, occasionally you'll have to call them over if you need anything or if you're waiting for an order.

Absolutely loved the ramen. The broth was so good I finished the whole bowl even after eating three skewers.

I must say the skewer is just average. I do not know why there are so many good reviews. The beef is dry and the chicken liver is not well done so it is a bit fishy smell. The beef tone is also rough… the chicken wing is well cooked but only salty flavor. the meat ball is actually good. A takeaway is that the veggies turn out better than the all the meat we order. If you are a picky eater, would definitely not recommend this place. But if you must try, here are the goods and bads:
good: asparagus, mushroom, bacon with mushroom, edamame, chicken skin, chicken wing，shrimp
bad: beef tongue, beef, chicken liver, tofu, meatball, chicken breast with veggie, corn

This is the only place I have ever seen Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki outside of Japan. It was absolutely delicious. All the tempura and yakitori samplers are incredible and their happy hour Highball is an amazing deal at $5. The service was very fast and everyone was so friendly. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

very bad experience of 1st time here. during waiting there were 4 groups customers done eating and leaving but no any available table to be called.
Waiting for 1hour and then told us the internet is bad right now so that cant use card payment or Apple pay and cant tape card.
I’ve never seen a restaurant like this in the U.S. for more than ten years.
it hasnt could be worse.

I love the taste of the food, All the dishes are super authentic and feel back to Japan!! I would definitely visit it again.
