Amazing chicken broth ramen with fresh noodles and super fresh sushi. I love the variety of the menu - ramen, sushi, yakitori, katsu and evern a curry, (the grilled butterfish is another favorite of ours). Reservations are required as the place is small but very popular. The staff is super friendly and recognizes us each time we visit. Always a must at least once, if not twice each trip as the prices are super reasonable.

Chill night out with my crew at MOA Kitchen — and wow, now I get why everyone’s obsessed! 🍣🍜 We ordered way too much (as always 😂) — ramen, sushi, sashimi, and a few small plates to share. Everything was spot on.

But the highlight? KUBOTA. Smooth, clean, and dangerously easy to drink. 🍶
Good food, good laughs, good sake — that’s the vibe. 💫

I came here twice during my visit to Hawaii and drove out of the way because the quality of the food is THAT GOOD. I ordered so many things on the menu, and everything was ridiculously tasty. Their spicey chicken miso ramen was rich in flavor and the portion was just right. Their yakitori skewers truly are incredibly good and are a must. The flavor it gave to the tomatoes and shitake mushrooms was my favorite. The sashimi: wow. The cuts of fish are the most generous I have ever...
