Went there twice; the first time was great and my kid loved lobster, shrimp (which is available for ala carte, though not directly on a la carte menu) , and scallop and also ate a good amount of the beef. So we went second time today but the chef this time was not that great —- the scallop was not fully cooked (I only had raw or fully cooked scallop but never half cooked ones which don’t taste well either). The the foie gras was not fully cooked again so we asked the chef to cook more. The lobster also didn’t have sufficient ingredient/taste in it. My kid didn’t like it much (he is very foody). Posting at a second dinner at another restaurant now 😭(this is a known good place)

Five bright, shining stars all around! We were flying in from Kauai and our flight was delayed TWICE, and it was our last night on Oahu, so we were so grateful that the receptionists were flexible in pushing our dinner reservation back. Upon entering, there is a huge display of Japanese whiskeys. We were promptly seated, and I ordered the $85 Teppan and my BF ordered the $125 steak & lobster. Both meals include panko shrimp, veggies, and salmon. To our surprise, a tasting plate of thin roast beef slices and cheese was brought along with salads. Our entire meal was so flavorful that I did not add any shoyu or dip into the roasted garlic sauce. Also, the garlic fried rice with bits of egg and bacon was tasty all on its own. We both selected the 5 oz. Washu filets, and we were beyond satisfied. The grill master never once rushed us even though we were the last patrons of the night. The restaurant is divided into two elegant rooms: teppanyaki and sushi/sashimi.

Best wagyu I've ever had. The shrimp and lobster were fantastic as well. Top tier teppanyaki.

New year celebration in a private room of the restaurant if the room is available and the food cost is minimum $500. Very good service by the waitress. We chose the set menu as it has pretty much items that we would like to try. It turned out we made a good choice with delicious dishes. As it was a birthday of one member, the restaurant did surprise us with a candle dessert and a small bouquet.

Perfectly cooked tepan...
Freshest Sashimi we have had in a while...
Perfect Japanese whisky to complement...
Exceeded expectations on every box.
I highly recommend eating here at least once while in Waikiki, but make a reservation. We went when they opened and barely made it in. If you want a non-tepan table make a reservation.
Went for the lunch sets. Great service, lots of set options with reasonable portions and quality food (we got mackerel and the miso cod sets). Staff is attentive and give an authentic Japanese restaurant experience.

After feeling dismissed at a different restaurant, we walked across looking for another place when the host outside of Suntory noticed us and invited us in with such a great attitude. What a genuinely kind and welcoming gesture. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with respect and hospitality, which made all the difference. The food was amazing, the service was top-notch, and the quality of the sashimi was fantastic.
This was our first time in Hawaii, and having such a memorable dinner made the experience even more special. We will absolutely be back again.

Excellent experience! The staff are so kind and welcoming. Irene and Joy and the chef were all great. Every person on staff was attentive and friendly. The food was excellent and worth what you pay! This place is a 10/10!!!
December 2025. Stumbled in on a walk with my partner. We were blown away. We didn’t have a big appetite and the base Teppan menu was more than enough. The cook on the steak was maybe the best I’ve ever had in a restaurant? So good. Great service. The towel and placemats are a nice touch.

I’ve been coming to HNL all of my adult life, and have been coming to Suntory the last 10 years. It is literally the highlight of my trip every single time. My lady jokes I only come to eat at Suntory…
This last time I was blessed to have had the opportunity to meet Logan, the newest teppanyaki chef. He gave me a dining experience that was nothing less than perfect. If you get to go to Suntory, great, but if you get to have Logan cook for you, even better! Don’t hesitate to request him as they normally adhere to special requests.
Suntory, keep taking good care of your staff as it shows in the food and the experience. It will always be my first stop when I get to the islands!!!
Many blessings CM

Stopped by for lunch. Top notch, traditional Japan dining experience, nice contrast to the casual Hawaiian vibe. Will be back next time.
