This place in Kaimuki is an amazing culinary experience! I'd marked it as a place to try while on vacation, didn't realize that reservations are often months in advance to get in here! We were extremely lucky anyway as we just did walk in not knowing, but they had a cancellation and were able to accommodate us, which is rare.
Chef is super friendly and wait staff explained everything and answered any questions. We sat counter and enjoyed omakase style dining, bacon wrapped quail eggs, wings, chicken hearts which were super tender, bacon wrapped mochi and many others with Hakata-style motsunabe as the finale. It was simply amazing tasting!
Great chef and waiters for a delicious izayaka omakase. Andosan has an amazing history. If you loved Kohnotori you’ll love this place!

nd a half year old restaurant is worth trying! They also have a few parking spots in front of their entrance area but street parking was easy to find as well.After the initial appetizers, the omakase consisted of 7 dishes plus their popular motsunabe for about $64 per person. If you are a pescatarian or vegetarian they will make special accommodations as well. Personally I think the motsunabe here is better than Rinka's :)Our table's fav were the bacon wrapped mochi's and the chicken meatballs. I wished they had bonjiri too. (Forgot to ask if they had but next time)We had - chicken wings, heart, thighs, chicken meatballs, bacon wrapped quail eggs, and bacon wrapped mochi, and US Wagyu beef skewers.Tip for next time - make your reservations for your next dinner when you are there already!

I take Uber here, and they told me they only accept phone call reservations. They don't have any tips in Google Maps or somewhere. It's so irresponsible and ridiculous. Waste my time and money even without one apology. Just one sentence: “We only accept phone call reservations.” I have never met this situation before in the whole of the States!

I have never had better yakitori in my life, and I have doubts that I will ever have any better after this experience. This was a masterful experience, and my only regret is that I didn't have more room to finish off the amazing nabe at the end (they do offer to-go containers, but it's just not the same the next day!) It is a little tricky to get a reservation, and you should probably book 2 months out, but trust me, it is WORTH IT.

I was able to eat Japanese yakitori served in Omakase by the owner. I'm glad to hear that you can eat motsu ni nabe in Hawaii. Unfortunately, it was difficult to make a reservation, so I had to wait two months. You don't even answer the phone very often. It’s worth a visit!!
This was an awesome experience! It’s omakase yakitori and motsu nabe at the end. It took about 2.5 hours and it is BYOB. Everything was delicious. Definitely make a reservation.

Great price for the amount of food. Yakitori is delicious, but the star is the motsu nabe. It tastes just like Japan. Susume desu.
Great atmosphere, don't forget parking validation
