    I had a lunch combination- don't remember what it was called, but it was tasty even if a little limited. My only critique was that it was kind of on the pricey side. But I would like to go back again and try more and different items. We sat outside, which I recommend if it's an option.

    Absolutely one of the best meals I’ve had on the island so far. Lifelong food enthusiast who has traveled all over the world for the best food. This was certainly one of the better meals I’ve ever had, clearly the best on the island so far. The atmosphere is incredibly casual for this level of food. And almost all of the servers were exceptional.

    Best overall value and Edomae/Tokyo-style sushi in the Pacific!! The assorted sashimi plate for two under $40 is a steal!! My fav Nippon brew, Asahi Super Dry, on tap…….plus a healthy variety of sakes and shochus for those that prefer moonshine!! Easy ordering using the table tablet. Super friendly service by the floor staff and the most skilled and experienced Japanese chefs working hard behind the bar. What more can you ask for??

    I made reservations. The food was so good. Value for the food was amazing. Service was good too. The food came so fast to the table. Plus it was my birthday snd we got a discount for that. The restaurant is modern but the food reminds me of old Japanese food when I was growing up which is hard to find in Oahu. Mahalo, it was the best.

    There was about a 20-25 minute wait despite our reservation, but the food more than made up for the delay. Definitely on our short list to return.
