Food came out quickly. Nice view of the beach. Staff are courteous and friendly. Always come here for the A5 wagyu ishikaya, pretty pricey but worth it for the high quality.

I’ve travelled across the United States. I been to many world famous chefs restaurants. But this is hands down executed far better that any of the others. I’d fly back here just for this. It was perfect.

OMG, this restaurant is top-of-the-top. We went for New Year's Eve with our family and we had the best night ever. They have the best service; they are so nice and friendly. The water guy made our night better; he was very attentive and always happy. Waiters are very professional and very knowledgeable about the menu. Food is a 10 out of 10. We are coming back to try more food 😋 😀 Thanks for everything. Happy New Year 2026!

Came here for NYE dinner. Food and service were excellent!! Everything was nicely plated , fresh and tasty. Portions were on the smaller side for family style meals. Ordered the spicy chicken wontons, carpaccio hamachi, garlic green beans, orange chicken, pork ribs (must order), and himachi stone bowl (forgot the name), and flaming chocolate sphere. Highly recommend - request table outside for best seating ambiance! Great for larger groups.

Dinner in Honolulu at Morimoto Asia Waikiki, an upscale Pan-Asian restaurant by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Here I'm getting served one of his signature dishes..... Ishiyaki Buri Bop, Hamachi seared tableside (inside the hot bowl), pickled daikon, spinach, carrot, royal fern, egg yolk, sweet ginger soy, yuzu kosho, while Dianne enjoys Hamachi Kama. So many wonderful dishes we could have also enjoyed.
