Really busy location. Not only did we reserve a table but had to pre-order the food before showing up. But the food was soooo authentic and good! Don't have to travel to Japan for excellent soba. Parking is tight and if you show up, the wait may be long. From what I can tell, from the long lines of people, the wait was worth it.

Just save your money. The staff was not friendly and treated my wife and I like second class citizens. Overpriced and mediocre Japanese food to say the least. $45 gets you bland soba and a small amount of Uni and Ikura. In Hawaii there are so many other options in regard to quality Japanese food, I highly suggest passing on this one.

Very nicely fried tempura and freshly made soba. Not the cheapest meal, but the food is high quality.
Parking: There is a free lot but it's somewhat small. There was one space available when we got there.
I have breakfast here which is a short window. The food was very fresh and so delicious.

Last time I had egg rice for breakfast, but this time I came for lunch. Delicious Japanese soup stock after all. They served me edamame before the meal and green tea after the meal. The store is clean and has an unpretentious atmosphere, making it very comfortable.
Parking: Up to 6 cars can be parked in front of the store.

Almost always a wait, but always worth it. Love the soba noodles here, and the desserts are not bad too. Food can take a while to come out, but you're on aloha time.

My mom recently took me here after coming here for a long time, and I can honestly say this place is probably the most authentic Japanese food you will ever have on the island. It is so delicious. I always get the sesame based broth with a few pieces of mushroom and vegetable tempura. I love coming here because they have so many different food choices on the menu, and everything is good. The staff are always welcoming, friendly, and quick to serve you. Their green tea is refreshing. I highly recommend coming here next time you’re in the mood for some traditional Japanese cuisine

I went here thinking I was going for a sushi bar, but I ended up with an Omakase experience. The fish was extremely fresh, I found out Thursday as “fresh fish Thursday“ when they get all of their shipments in, but when I came into this place I thought it was going to be busy because of the reviews, but I was the third person there.
The sushi chef was one year in the US coming from Japan, so knew very little English, but I just rolled with it. Turned out. I had a wonderful experience with some delicious sushi. I’ve had Uni in the past and I thought it tasted like the bottom of the ocean, but the Uni they had here was straight from Japan and it was very sweet … and I can now understand why they consider it a delicacy.
Had a couple glasses of sake, along with the Omakase experience. All in it was about $160 … but it was unbelievably delicious. I would highly recommend this place.
Good quality but way too expensive for what it is. It should be half the price. In Japan, soba is one of the cheapest meals you can get. The price is simply not justified and I don’t think it’s honest but predatory.

Traditional Japanese fare done right! Really enjoyed the pressed Saba zushi, the soba noodles were perfect, and the uni charashi bowl was beautiful and delicious. Service was excellent overall. Would highly recommend!
Delicious and very fairly priced!!!
