What a lovely little restaurant with amazing vegan ramen soup and delicious mochi dessert. We loved it! Beautiful and friendly folks! So enjoyable! Mahalo!
Great Japanese izakaya (ramen bar) in Maui. Decorated with anime figurines and old school Japanese ad art. The chef/owner personally came to our table to explain the menu specials (black squid ink ramen) and the hostess/server made a great beverage suggestion. We went back twice during our trip, it was so good! Arigato!
Close to the real thing in japan except the takoyaki is supermarket par and the yakiniku needs to be wagyu and cut nicer. I recommend hokke if you like fish. Sashimi is fire.
