    Our party of 3 had to wait 20 minutes because an earlier large party of 8 overstayed their time frame. A special $60 fried fish was very small & full of bones that were inedible because it was under cooked and not crunchy.

    We were able to make a last minute reservation here on a Friday night. We had ordered from them before thru DoorDash and I like their chirashi bowls the most of anywhere I’ve tried because they have everything I want, so wanted to eat there in person. Although some of the parking stalls are a little challenging to get out of, the food is definitely worth it. All of the fish is high quality and tasty. The beef tongue and edamame were also really flavorful. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would like to return so we can try more.

    It’s a small place located in a quiet neighborhood with surprisingly high quality seasonal delicacies from Japan on top of all the delicious Izakaya dishes. We loved the crab, the grill fish and the unagi. If you have a good dinner budget, you should definitely try them. They were better than we had in Japan. I also had omakase sushi and the quality, flavor, presentation and variety were definitely the best I had in Hawaii so far. We loved it!
