    Great sushi. We had spicy tuna and spicy salmon roll. Both were great, priced slightly high, but vacation is meant to be enjoyed. Spicy beef noodles were also great. Service was prompt and professional and friendly! Don’t miss this if you enjoy Japanese cuisine.

    The ambience is retro bold and chic. The music, a cool trip-hop vibe, immediately sets the tone. Our server was friendly, and perfectly attentive without being intrusive. I wish she had introduced herself; and there was no napkin at my place setting, but when I asked the issue was quickly corrected. The hand-crafted cocktails were fun and food delicious, dessert the perfect final note to the meal. We left very full, a little tipsy, and extremely happy.

    Loved everything about this place! We went on a whim to this place, and wow what a find this turned out to be. We returned twice to this place, armed with reservations and big appetites, to do full justice to this little gem! I tried all variations of egg Benedict - they are all fantastic! Salmon is a bit ahead than the rest but they are all sooooo good. The French bread with banana and chocolate is fantastic. Garlic fries are mouth watering.. coffee is exhilarating! Finally, the service is excellent! Do yourself a favor and reserve this place for a sumptuous brunch! They deserve your money and are very reasonable for the quality of food on offer here.

    A fave of ours in Waikīkī! Quaint & tiny but cozy & fun. Absolutely delicious food for decent prices! Service is exceptional (Jamie is fabulous!) - the whole team is collaborative and helps each other out which makes everything seemless. Do yourself a favour and book a few reservations during your trip - you won’t regret it!
