Came here at a friend’s recommendation while on break in Oahu. We came on the same day and was able to get a reservation for 10 people. The place is pretty spacious and the kitchen looked huge. Service was great and though we were the first party to arrive, it filled up fairly quickly. The menu is extensive and the food authentic - we had onigiri (well grilled and large), various yakitori, seafood risotto (recommended), hamachi collar (alright), salad and appetizers. Parking is easy with various options around. 3 floor of a building.

Always good food and good service

Parking: It's a small lot shared with other businesses. There's quite a bit of metered parking.

Kid-friendliness: Typical Japanese restaurant that you can get small things for kids ala cart. They don't have the full array of kids sushi like other places

As close to a Japanese izakaya as you're going to get in the states.

Had dinner here. The restaurant wasn't all that busy when we came in, and it's possible to make a reservation. Menu is online through QR code, which unfortunately doesn't have pictures or much descriptions about the food or allergen information. The food quality and quantity was sub par and not worth the high price for them, especially the $21 poke, which only came with 3 pieces. The soft shell crab was rather pitiful with only a salad to really leverage the lack of meat you get. Jaga Batta was also just expensive for the simplicity of the dish of just being a $9 Idaho potato pan fried in butter. Moreover, the udon only had Tempura and tofu with not much vegetables to leverage the overall starchyness of the dish overall. Service was rather slow, we had to prompt the waitress to come and take our order for what felt like over 10 minutes. The kitchen had also forgotten our order of yakiudon, which came last when we just didn't feel the need to eat anymore. Moreover, the waitress didn't even come back to our table in regards to change and getting our receipt,so it is best not to pay in cash. Overall, I wouldn't come here again for the subpar service and food quality that just wasn't tasty enough to leverage everything else wrong with the restaurant. I may not be a local, but I wouldn't recommend locals to dine here either

Vegetarian options: Gluten and some vegetarian options for food, but not very good options.

Went for dinner two nights ago and my boyfriend had an awful food poisoning; fever and all.The only items we didn’t share were the squid and octopus nigiri, so it was one of those.

I'm curious if those who gave 5 stars have ever tried a Japanese restaurant. The food barely meets the standard, the service is rushed, and, most notably, the wait for the food is excruciatingly long. We waited 30 minutes for just one dish, and the entire dining experience stretched out to 1.5-2 hours. The tempura lacks crispiness, and the grilled items were already getting cold. The price was 100+ for 2 people. My advice to everyone: steer clear of this place.
