Whatever you do, you do not order the shabu shabu. I can make one better in my hotel room. Their broth was just pure, hot water and their sauce was not even tasty. We had made reservations for 8 PM it took us almost 15 minutes to place an order. We did not leave until past 10 PM because the food took so long to get to us. It’s a bit smelly inside and also a bit hot. The waitresses were trying to make us feel better.’ Because it was taking so long and the owner to have us the kids a free toy each. However, for the food and the money you’re paying, we just don’t feel as quite worth it. Many other better options for Japanese food in my opinion.

Wonderful atmosphere and the service is consistently fantastic. The food is also excellent and always a highlight. I make sure to visit this restaurant every time I'm in wakiki. Highly recommended!

Delicious authentic Japanese food. The butterfish misoyaki was a standout- melted in your mouth but with a light crispy skin. Sashimi tasted high quality and the sides were great too. The staff were very kind and the food was served promptly.

One of the best Japanese restaurants. The decor is typically Japanese, simple, but the dishes are fresh and delicious. We will return to try other dishes.

The wait time was quite long, even with a reservation. It seems that having a reservation doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be seated right away. The menu had a good variety. We ordered the sukiyaki, tempura, and the most affordable sushi set. As a Japanese person who really misses sushi from home, I appreciated my friend ordering it for me — but honestly, sushi is much better and cheaper in Japan. On the other hand, the sukiyaki was reliably delicious. You can order a raw egg to dip the beef in, which I highly recommend. The lighting inside was quite dim, which made the food look less appealing, even though it tasted good. That was a bit of a shame.
