    It’s not what we expected with the show. Our guy just made weird noises and failed most of his attempts with the food. He was busy talking about his own interests and making weird noises. Food was good but how can you really mess up steak, lobster and scallops. Broken egg shells in fried rice. The grill was very dirty and it was left unprofessionally even after the food was prepared. Sanitation was questionable. We ordered the same course for entire group but w got different portions of food and some people got more food than another. Photographer was somewhat rude in asking us to pose for photos we didn’t ask for. Came back during our meal and started selling the pictures interrupting the meal. We purchase d pictures for $45 because it was a touristy moment but the sell was distasteful. Also distasteful to ask for tip on top for $45 for 3 photos when she solicited the photos without any request. Dessert was provided but the bill arrived along with it. Once again, the bill like the photographer could’ve just waited until the end of the meal. Small things but it puts a bad taste in your experience.

    Our experience here was FANTASTIC from start to finish. We were greeted warmly by the host Harmony. Miss P sat us and was very kind. Our server Kaila was very attentive and amazing at her job. Our chef Patu was excellent! His food was amazing and tasted perfect!! Kekai who works there suggested the restaurant and what we ordered and she was spot on!!

    I had the Shogun and I strongly recommend! Steak, lobster tail, scallops and all the fixings, what more could you ask for? Along with the veggies, rice, miso soup, tea and ending with a mango sorbet..truly satisfying. The cook was friendly and entertaining. Very good experience and I enjoy it every time I come to Oahu. Thank you for a great night.

    Quantity of food was good, but quality was just ok. Cook used too much pepper on everything. He had a very interesting personality, but was definitely funny. Quick walk from our hotel and easy to find. Service and drinks were good.

    ハワイにて行くと毎回利用いたします。パフォーマンスはさすがです。 お料理も美味しいです。 店名が田中オブ東京っていうくらいだから日本語の話せる方にパフォーマンスしてもらいたかったです。私達には何を話しているのか全然分からなかった。

    I wanted to try this place after seeing this restaurant and conveniently located in the hotel where I was staying. The presentation was terrific. Our chef Anthony was very entertaining. My wife and I absolutely love the whole package. Entertaining. The food was expertly prepared and was really excellent. The meat was prepared exactly as we wanted. No detail was left out. Sure, this is Waikiki so I don't expect to not pay a premium, but it is worth it. A very nice meal.
