Hot Pot Restaurants in Honolulu, HI

“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.“

“Phenomenal Hotpot Experience! This hotpot restaurant exceeded all expectations—ultra-fresh ingredients, richly flavorful broths, and impeccably attentive service. The variety of meats and vegetables was outstanding, and the house-made dipping sauces elevated every bite. Clean, modern atmosphere with cozy vibes. A must-visit for hotpot lovers!“

“Friendly Customer Service ♥️🤙🙏🏼“

“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.“

“Affordable price for buffet lovers. Valet parking is reasonable... Lots of choices to choose from... all you can eat for a price you will never regret...“

“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.“

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.“
