This Japanese restaurant in Honolulu is truly one of the best! The grilled oyster is a standout, a perfect blend of creaminess and freshness. The uni rice is a delight, with a unique texture that enhances the experience. While the beef tongue has a slight sourness, it's the best in its own way. The ice cream is decent but nothing extraordinary. If you plan to visit, don't miss out on the heavenly goodness of the grilled oyster – a must-try!
I think the sushi is fresh, the shooters are good and the service is attentive
at this restaurant. However, it feels more like a small, family-owned establishment, yet the prices reflect those of a modern sushi place.
Wow, the truffle butter uni & egg yolk rice is to die for! We loved it so much, we got an extra serving. The sashimi and oysters were incredibly fresh and the karaage and beef tongue udon were equally as good! The servers were attentive and the sweetest. 10/10 overall
Nice vibe as a dinner place, but the food is so-so. I do love the Uni rice but the rest are just as regular as other restaurant. The sashimi is overrated and I think it not worth the price. The beef tongue taste hard and the onion on top were freezy.
Highly recommend the white eel!!
i love it! we fly from LA to visit hawaii and pass by this izakaya shop. OMG i was blow my mind. the food is omakase quality. all chef looks like from japan which make the food really authentic. we finished all dishes we ordered and we ll come back again next time visiting hawaii.
I originally went for truffle uni butter rice. After trying, 21 dollars is a little expensive😅 cuz for me it was just an egg bibimbap without sesame oil.
probably only for me(my poor taste
But the cream fried crab is really delicious!! The first bite is amazing! Really highly recommended
To be honest, if I only tried truffle uni rice, I would probably write a bad comment, but I fell in love with the cream fried crab ball...
Awesome food! We ordered two sets of grilled oyster bomb🦪
Fish、Crab and Uni are pretty fresh. My fav dish is the【roasted white Unagi】, it’s a MUST try!! The Zuwai Kano (snow crab from Japan）tastes good but pricey. The most popular dish- Uni Egg Rice: a little bit greasy and should be save for the last.
The fish quality and the design of seafood based dishes are of great quality. It’s an expensive Izakaya, but I got what I paid for. The fishes are imported from Japan and their taste worths it. With the relatively short distance from Hawaii to Japan compared to mainland US, it’s also more cost efficient to do so and for customers to enjoy the fresh flavor here.
Particularly love the thick cut snapper with slightly grilled skin in the chef’s sashimi cut and the uni yoke rice. The uni rice goes great with mustard too if you wanna bring in some refresher. The chef’s seasoning skews slightly to the heavy side. Personally I think the oyster can take less soy sauce, same for the abu tora sushi. Overall, very enjoyable.
Good news. No more omakase only after Christmas and new year.
The Otoro was boom, so oily, and it tastes so good. It literally melt in your month. Recommend Chu toro if you don't like oily fish. The sweet shrimp was ok because they don't use the head to make a fried head or head soup like other restaurants. Waiter was nice and recommended us uni pancake with caviar ($32), seasalt grill unagi($30). Both were a 4 out 5 good but very pricey for such small portion.
The uni truffle egg rice was as good as everyone says. It is so rich in flavor. MUST try item.
Overall, I would give a 4.5.
