We got takeout. It's a chicken shop. Don't get their salmon. Very, very sad. Chicken Nanban is very good. Interior looked very good and cool. Sides looked very sad and lazy. Takeout asked for high tip, but food cost is fairly low for Hawaii. It had pluses and minuses.
————- You need to keep the salmon skin and fry the salmon skin side down. Your salmon looks boiled, but it needs a crust of sorts.

I had the chicken karaage bento box and it was so ono! A lot of food for your money. The service was so friendly and fast. I will definitely be back and highly recommend to others.

Gave this place a try and glad we did. Service was super friendly and accommodating. We had wanted a spam musubi for our daughter to take on her flight and they were out but our server asked the chef if he could make one and he said yes! Very nice of them. Food was also excellent. We had the katsu-don, nanban chicken, karaage chicken and agedashi tofu. All came hot and well seasoned. The katsu-don was simple with just katsu, onions and egg but the sauce was balanced well. Nanban chicken was also delicious and the agedashi tofu was tasty. Prices were also very reasonable. The space is small though but you can make a res. Parking is limited to just a few stalls in front of the restaurant on the pavement but there's lots of street parking. We'd definitely go there again.

Order lunch via door dash. I cannot rate service or atmosphere right now.
My coworkers got nanban chicken plate, while I got ton katsu plate. For the amount of food to cost. It's worth it here. My layered ton katsu was tendered, savory, and fried into 5 pieces easy to eat. The nanban chicken looked good, I'll try it next time, my coworkers said it's delicious and they would not have finished it if it wasn't...lol
It's my first time here, but my parents have eaten here several times and recommend this place to me. I finally listen and ordered from here. I'll definitely come back.

The food is so ono, made to order the musubi ‘s are warm and chicken /spam/ fish are crispy, i think they use tamaki gold rice. Curries and stir frys are excellent and the restaurant is clean and neat❣️?❣️????The ladies are so sweet bowing and thanking you???? ??

Chicken Nanban is delicious. The other items are also delicious, and the garnishes are handmade, which makes me happy. The service is very pleasant and this is my new favorite place. I heard that they are planning to go to an izakaya in the evening, so I'm looking forward to it.

I come here frequently to order the pork ginger plate. It’s great when you’re craving home style Japanese comfort food.Sides:The house made pickles with is super good (not sweet, but refreshingly acidic).The potato salad is on the dense side - I think has Japanese pickles inside which is unique and adds some fun bursts of flavor.Salad is topped with Japanese style shoyu dressing with grated onions. Has a lot of flavor - almost like a dipping sauce.The hamburger steak is also good!
I’ve lived in Japan and my wife is Japanese and this place has legit Japanese food. This is homestyle quality with the Japanese rice, portions and recipes. Japanese comfort food at its finest. Don’t come in here expecting huge portions and you will leave with a full soul.

Worthless. The rice so hard. Looked like it had been recycled. VERY NO GOOD.

My husband and I have been waiting to try this new place for awhile! So happy it finally opened.The food was great and it is now a solid new lunch spot for us. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. The sauce was on the sweeter side (which I definitely prefer) and cooked well. It came with yummy white rice and veggies on the side.My husband tried the hamburger steak plate and loved the savory sauce!Atmosphere is very family friendly—the owner and his wife are so kind and welcoming. The place definitely excelled at blending both Japanese home cooking and local flavors. Would visit again!Note: recommend parking across the street at Longs because there is very limited parking outside the restaurant.
