    All the appetizers that we ordered were good & I was hopeful for the rest of dinner. This was my party’s first time at this location, so it took us a bit to decide on our entrees. However, it took an hour for me to get my steak after I ordered. My friend’s butabara was luke warm at best & when he got it back after they “fixed” it, it was still just as cold. The garlic pepper fried rice was also bland. The server mentioned taking the steak & butabara off the menu, but my husband noticed that we were still charged for the steak after paying. For how expensive this restaurant is, I expected the food to be better.

    Shokudo was amazing. We tried a number of dishes and everything was delicious. We will definitely return. The sashimi and sushi were especially fresh and great.

    The tuna roll was great! But everything else was so so. We tried the miso butterfish, chicken wings, sashimi peppers and eggplant, Small and can be loud depending on the other tables around you.

    お料理はまあまあでした。ハッピーアワードリンクメニューに、ビールとワインが無いのが残念。 それと、メニューに載っていた日本酒のボトルを頼んだら、呑みたかった日本酒2つ共ボトル無く、グラスでしか頼めなかった。メニューに掲載しているなら、ちゃんと在庫確保しておいてものです。全般的には良いお店だと思います。

    Excellent Japanese food with a wonderful staff. Dishes are interestingly different from some of the more typical Waikiki Japanese options, yet draw upon classic flavors and ingredients. Some of their menu was not available because their fryer wasn't working, but there were still many superb dishes to select from. We left full and the cost, even with alcohol, was very modest. Highly recommend.

    料理の味はすべて美味しかったです。ただフライヤーが故障していつ揚げ物ができないといわれ、唐揚げや、カニクリームコロッケなど食べたかったものが食べられなくて残念でした。スタッフの女の子がニコニコしていて、愛嬌が良くてとても雰囲気良かったです

    昨春に続き、2度目の利用です。以前はオープンテーブルでの予約は無かったです。 食事はどれも美味しく、サービスもそこそこ良かったですが、レセプションの人がいまいちでした。12月31日で忙しかったからでしょうか。何だかそっけない態度でした。 前回は、結構日本の音楽がかかっていた記憶がありますが、今回は無かったので、日本ぽい雰囲気はあまりなく残念でした。

    Great food. Would return. I didn’t love that Open Table limited us to a bar reservation when there were plenty of open tables throughout our meal. We were sat at the bar right against a grimy wall that I didn’t love when the rest of the bar was wide open except one other couple that came later. The bathroom was dirty, which didn’t inspire confidence. Service was good. Good was fun. But building needs to address some maintenance issues, including some basic paint and cleaning.

    Excellent, friendly, and speedy service. Liked the happy hour specials. The hamachi carpaccio was very memorable, and the other dishes we ordered were otherwise well executed standard izakaya fare.
