    Took 13 people last minute. Very nice upstairs area. Great food. Service was a little overwhelmed but still amazing given how short staffed they were. Highly recommend. Very good food, good times.

    Invited friends to celebrate a birthday at Katsumidori. Had a wonderful time overall. We knew the group we invited was not big sushi eaters but took a chance. They enjoyed the fried dishes (karaaage, oyster, tempura) and various sushi rolls. Of course I had my usual tuna deluxe, hotate, uni and unagi which I pretty much had all to myself! Great food, great service and value S always. Still our go to place.

    Pick this spot to meet up with friends from out of town and I wanted to find a hidden spot in Waikiki. Glad I stumble on Aloha Table. Location is central Waikiki and there was 4-hour validated parking at nearby Hyatt Centric. It was a great, quaint place to catch up with a nice outdoor seating area. Food was good and staff was friendly & attentive. Will have to come back to this spot soon.
