    This was a birthday dinner for my husband and I’m so glad I chose this place. We love Japanese food and my hubby loves his fresh fish, hands down this is the best omakase restaurant we’ve been to, the quality and taste is just like we’re in Japan. Such a great experience, trust them they know what they are doing. I will highly recommend this place to all my friends and family. Domo arigato to the staff for a wonderful welcoming experience.

    I don’t normally leave reviews, but our experience at Goen was well worth giving a huge shout out. I left a note in my reservation requesting appropriate seating as we had a 1.5yr old baby as part of our dining party and they went out of their way to facilitate our request. Further, adding to the exceptional experience they brought out a cute little quesadilla plate for her to hold her over while we perused the menu. Food was outstanding, we had the butterfish, salmon, short ribs and truffle gnocchi and every dish was *chefs kiss* 🤌🏻 The server was lovely, personable and attentive. Highly recommend making your way to Kailua to check this place out. Will definitely return next time I’m in Hawaii. Thanks guys for an excellent dining experience..
