Best Japanese Restaurants in Waipahu

I’ve been there several times and servers have always been very good. I’ve always enjoyed everything I’ve ordered. Just wish they’d offer the natto, poke, ginger chicken bento they had years ago during natto week.

Food was good and fast The place was very busy Pricing a little on the high end Service is very limited to just check in on you when they are in passing helping others The older man that has been there centuries is also fun to see

Hands down some of the most amazing food I’ve had. I had the brisket and shrimp dish that was over the moon. By far the best brisket I’ve ever had. We went back multiple times during our stay in Ko’ Olina. Every time was an excellent experience all around.

Excellent! Young child was crying A LOT but the restaurant can’t really be blamed for that. Loved ordering digitally since the menu was simple and easy to use—didn’t feel like a chore.

Visited during restaurant week Nov 2024 and got the $50 pre-fixe omakase menu with some additional skewers. The omakase menu is normally $80 so it was such a great value (the restaurant week menu had slightly less items). We sat at the counter and it was great to be able to see the chefs at work! Loved the smoky smell in the air and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Favorites of the night were the sukiyaki skewers, beef tongue skewers and the salmon, ikura, uni don. This was our third or fourth time back to this restaurant, but it had been about 3-4 years since our last visit. We had a great date night and will definitely be back!
