    Everything was great quality. The sticky ribs are great. We would prefer that they Do be sure though that they come out sizzling. Rather than room temperature. But tenderness and flavor spot on. Prefer that the duck Caesar be served table side as they used to do. The small touches like this do make a difference with just a few moments more in staff time to make it as special. Overall great quality food. 5 star.

    Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Mocktails were okay. Sticky ribs were excellent. The duck was just a standard duck didn’t seem like anything special, besides being served with pretty standard sauces and steamed tortillas similar to a bao bun texture. The cod was very good but there were some bones to be careful of. Overall the food was not as good as the Philadelphia location but was still tasty.

    This is an amazing restaurant. The food is high quality, very fresh and a new spin on Asian cuisine. The wait staff is helpful with suggestions and very friendly. The cocktails are really next-level. This restaurant is a must for an elegant dinner out in Waikiki! Ask for Tallis. He’s a great waiter!

    I had been years ago when it was located in another hotel and the food was stellar. This time around was just ok. The vegetables were fine, the fried rice was a bit greasy, the kalbi was ok and the pad Thai could have used a few more than 4 shrimp and less bean sprouts. I wanted to love the food but I just didn’t.

    Absolutely amazing experience! Our waiter (who I sadly can’t remember his name but it was the nice guy who had a lot of his family in the Marine Corps!!) was so friendly and polite, loved his attitude towards us and our experience! The food was great and my other half enjoyed his 16 oz. Ribeye steak. The fried rice was one of the best ones I have had so far and my dish (the Ishiyaki buri bop) was so flavorful, it was interesting to see it being cooked in front of you. For our dessert we decided to try the Flaming Chocolate Entremet (absolutely delicious! It was fun to watch them light it up before pouring the chocolate all over it!) 10/10 would recommend!

    unfortunately overpriced for what you get, starting with the drink which was very tasty but seemed to have very little alcohol in it. Food was also tasty but main dishes coming out as they are done would work if there was 5 minutes between getting dishes but not 15. Also the duck shouldn’t be called 1/2 if it’s really a leg quarter… tasty and it was enough for me but def overpriced for the portion and should be called what it is. would only go back for the happy hour

    This place was ridiculously good. The black pepper steak and donuts for dessert had us almost licking the plates. Definitely worth a stop in for dinner if you are in Waikiki. Thank me later. Make a reservation even though they allow walk ins sometimes the wait can be 45min to an hour.
