A great Japanese spot!
Overall: 4.5/5
Food - 4.5/5
Spicy Tuna Don - 5/5 - Loved this! One of my favourite Donburis I’ve ever had. Really flavourful and a nice kick with the spice too.
Sobu - 4/5 - First time trying Sobu! It’s like a cold ramen. It was great but my preference is warm noodles. My friend absolutely loved it though.
Chicken Karage - 4/5 - Fresh and tasty! Oil wasn’t too much either.

Luna fashion with smoke is exceptional! The passionfruit margaritas is also very refreshing. The hamachi and maguro sashimi are fresh. The takoyake was soft inside and crispy outside, was one of the best I had in a while. The stuff are very friendly as well.
I am so in love with this place! It works for literally everything—casual lunch or dinner with the girls! The dinner tapas were incredible (you HAVE to try the miso-marinated pork, it melts in your mouth!), and our server was so helpful with sizing recommendations. Their lunch special is such a great deal too, and that purple potato/yam salad was a super fun, delicious surprise. It’s not just standard Japanese food; they put a unique, elevated twist on soba and traditional...read full review

Kaimuki Shokudo is a restaurant that offers a hidden gem experience with a nice izakaya atmosphere and super friendly staff. The decor features wooden fixtures and lighting that give a Japan vibe, creating a lively and festive feel. The menu is quite extensive for a soba shop, with dishes like beef curry, steamed oysters, grilled vegetables, cold soba noodle soup, and tempura soba. The restaurant is especially praised for its Hot Tempura Soba and spicy tuna bowl on the lunch menu. Customers also enjoy the ribeye steak during dinner, along with popular choices like the uni/ikura don and Washugyu beef curry. The cold duck soba stands out as one of the best ever tried, with super tender, smoky duck and a dashi broth infused with charred green onions, offering an irresistible and refreshing experience. The tempura is light and crispy, not oily or heavy, making it a favorite. Desserts such as honey toast with green tea ice cream are highly recommended. Fried chicken is very popular and often runs out early, but other fried foods like squid legs are also enjoyed. The staff, including attentive servers, provide friendly service, enhancing the lively atmosphere where loud speaking is needed to communicate. Parking is easy to find on weeknights at the paid lot. While the food is excellent, seating can be tight, especially when multiple dishes arrive at once. Overall, Kaimuki Shokudo offers quality food in a cozy setting, with both lunch and dinner menus full of tasty options.
