    So gave this 5 stars because I stayed almost 2 hours. From the 3 dollar beers, to the array of food selection, to the pristine bathrooms!!! Not sure if I was more impressed by the bathrooms or just the friendliest food servers I was met with. Definitely must visit when on the island. If this review was helpful, please follow and like me!

    This place reminded me of the restaurant floor of a Japanese department store (which gives it authenticity points). The $1 beers with any $10 purchase was definitely the highlight. The food itself is honestly nothing special and a bit overpriced, mostly packaged in take out containers. There was a decent selection of entrees and desserts, though. It seems like a great place to get some food and drinks with friends.

    Great place to try a variety of Japanese food, although some of them are owned by Chinese or other nationalities. Price is reasonable and the serving size is quite generous. If you like Japanese beer, the centre beverage shop offers $1 per glass on tap.

    This is a bustling food marketplace that gives you an immersive Japanese cuisine experience with so many options, including tepanyaki, sashimi, sushi, tempura, ramen, udon, musubi, poke, okinomiyaki, gyoza, and more. Prices are reasonable, especially their beer which we did not have but we saw many people enjoy them. We went back a few times and could have gone back many times more!

    Love the diversity of food, drinks, and little games (in the back)! Seems like there are a lot of businesses that come and go, but this gives opportunities for businesses to flourish and get some air-time. I love the ramen places and the beer garden - amazing. Wish they'd make the music softer sometimes because its loud enough and it makes it harder to hear each other talk.

    If we had a place like this in Seattle, I would be the fattest person you know. It's a food court like area with so many shops that I got confused where I was multiple times. Theres something for everyone and even though some things might be a little pricier, it's definitely worth it. My husband had some black garlic tonkatsu ramen, and I had a veggie tempura bowl, both amazing and reminded us of japan itself. We also tried some malasadas, which looked and tasted astounding, and some classic japanese side dishes which reminded me of what my own japanese grandmother used to make. I would be here every night for dinner if i could.

    Great deal with dollar beer. Food need to improve to go with the beer... We noticed a declined quality of food since 2017. My favorites are the buns, my kid's favorite is the Hello Kitty cakes from the bakery. I personally like the crepes without too much of the cream. I remembered there were skewers that you would find in chizakaya in 2017, but can't find them now.

    This place is amazing. I absolutely look the look of it 😍 As soon as we got there, we played the gacha thing they had, and I have to admit, I got a little out of hand with it lol! Just the suspense of not knowing how much each ticket inside the capsule was gonna be worth. So you buy a token (which is $5 each), and choose a machine you want to use it on. The tickets can range from 5-100. After you're done, you can go back to redeem them at the counter you bought the tokens from. There is a huge variety of prizes you can trade for, too bad I didn't get any pictures though. There are also some food shops and the stationary store that you can spend your tokens at, which is great! We ended up going to the Gourmet Plaza Japan (if that's what it's called) to get an early dinner. Food was good. Only thing docking it it from 5* to 4* is that some of the workers (where we ordered our food from) were making it a bit uncomfortable to be around; acting very unpleasant, especially since they were in work attire, whether they were on the clock or not. So we just ate and moved on to a different spot. Ended up at Marion Crepes for dessert, and yum! But too much azuki beans in mine for my taste. ALSO! On Sunday's, kids 12 and under get a free token to use on the kiddie machines, which I think is really great ^_^

    The last time I visited Shirokiya, it was still in the old location and I feel like there were more options to choose from. At this location, it seems like it's all ramen/udon spots, and expensive ones at that. I was originally excited to check this place out because I wanted to try a little bit of everything. I was pretty bummed to see that there wasn't that much of a variety. We ended up getting some black garlic spicy miso ramen ($18) somewhere. The first few bites were good but as we ate more, it tasted like it was getting saltier and saltier. We also tried a musubi from the musubi spot. It was good but not really worth the $3, in my opinion. My BF said he liked the musubis from 7-Eleven better. The only thing good about this place is the $1 beer (or $5 Primo pitchers). I'd say - grab a beer here but go get food elsewhere. The quality is not worth the price tag.

    Cheap beers ($1 promos, $2 Heineken, etc.), great quality food, and alot of choices on food. Be sure to take a quick lap around to see all the different vendors before choosing what to eat. Dont forget about the couple of dessert spots which are amazing. The line for the beer can get long but it moves quick. This has a street style feel to it but with the comfort of A/C and shade. This is a definite must visit as the beer is cheap, the food is reasonable, and the quality is excellent.

    How can ypu skip this place when in Honolulu. Located inside Ala Moana, this japanese food village is a must to go. Theres a bit of ramen collections which many of them are really good and not to forget the $1 beer... So many other things to try too from softserve, okonomiyaki, japanese curry, and more. Soo oishi!!!

    Lot of foods, reasonable price, $1 beer ohyaa. Entrance is on the ground floor parking garage under the Bloomingdale's department store. Not easy to find, but its treasure when you do.
