    My Ohana and I had dinner to celebrate a birthday and it was great! Reservation was easy to do and when I needed to change the time, they had no issue doing so. Service was great, everyone worked together to serve the people. Food was delicious and to me the price was greatly reasonable. Food came out at a timely matter and the manager who I did not get his name, was really great! He came out to check on everyone, bussing tables, refreshing water/beverages and making us smile and laugh. He showed us his cool trick with flipping out drink without spilling it! That was cool. Mahalo nui!

    Great food and didn’t expect this kind good food around the area. Ribeye bar style was good but need to put little soy sauce to make it more tender.

    The food was very good and I would actually rate it a "5" however, the chardonnay wine and the old fashion liquor was not very good. Therefore, the "4" represents a combination of the food and beverages.

    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.
