    Outrageously delicious! My wife lived in Japan for a few years and she said this is the best okonomiyaki she’s had since then. It was my first time trying and I was blown away, soooo tasty. The seared ahi tuna was perfectly paired with creamy wasabi sauce, stretches your palate so delicately that you have the sudden urge to drink the sauce to coat your mouth with all the flavor - we didn’t of course….that would be wild…just saying that you c o u l d. The beers in the pictures are the “small” beers, made me miss Texas. Excellent and quick service, we loved sitting on the patio.

    Amazing Dinner. We had the Honeymoon special so we could try all the food, it was a lot of food for just two people so come hungry. Chef Joy was great, he kept us entertained and made sure everything was to our liking. Honeymoon includes two glasses of champagne, two salads, the lobster tail, assorted seafood, wagyu, okonomiyaki, and two desserts. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Will be back again for the okonomiyaki, but saw a lot of tasty looking dishes while we ate.

    This is definitely a must have restaurant, chef is cooking in front of you, food is super fresh. Ordered the surf&turf combo and the house special okonomiyaki chino, such a lovely experience!

    Friendly service and we were lucky by getting in without a wait with no reservation!!! I had loco moco and my friends had steak and seared ahi. They grill them in front of you. If I were to go again, I would try the ahi — the little bite I stole from my friend was delicious :)

    Really good. The okonomiyaki was the best and so was the beef filet. The service was really good and the chef cooking infront of us was really friendly and funny. The food was a bit expensive but it’s worth the money.

    Attentive staff, prompt service, good okonomiyaki. Went during dinner time on a Friday evening but we were seated promptly. Staff were quick to take our orders. Atmosphere of the place is nothing too welcoming but not too bad either. Cold pitcher of Sapporo paired perfectly with the okonomiyaki.

    Excellent experience here during our Christmas lunch! Customer service is great and so as the food. Grilled ahi is the best. Steak-ju is savory good and the virgin daiquiri is the best drink at the time. Each meal comes with sticky rice, tossed green salad and miso soup. You gotta try their menu folkx. Worth dining here!

    Garlic shrimp had good flavor and taste. The Okonomiyaki was fine - normal level among what I have had before. The special pineapple and lychee juice was kind of sweet. Needs reservation for dine-in. The counter seats were specially served with the chef cooking right in front of you, but those seats were hard to get reservations.

    Had a quick lunch here. The steak lunch plate is super good, highly recommend!

    Finally got to try okonomiyaki, and this place did not dissapoint. Solid teppanyaki-style table-top prep and service, and more options than I could try in one sitting. Surprisingly rich foods and flavors. Small cozy space, feels like a hidden gem, but busy enough that you know it's no secret!

    Food was very disappointing, teriyaki chicken was bland, tiny, and extremely overpriced. Portions could barely qualify as leftovers. Half the dish was vegetables, and rice costs extra. Menu prices are almost twice as expensive as stated online. Extremely disappointing for a $26 dish. There are plenty of better places to eat in Waikiki

    The Korean salad was super light and crunchy! The piña colada was creamy and sweet. The ahi tuna came with a light dipping sauce. The assorted seafood was perfectly grilled. The miso soup was ok. The perfect dinner of you want some seafood and salad!

    Really great food and service. Both Hiroshima and Osaka styles of okonomiyaki. It's nice to watch the chef cook in front of you without the unnecessary flips and tricks. I'll definitely visit again on my next visit.

    We eat the Tepanyaki, the Chef was amazing, we had the honor to be served by the second in command in the restaurant. We have a very nice time and he also gave us recommendations for things to try in Japan. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a lot the delicacy he had when preparing the dishes. What a wonderful way of doing things and very tasteful flavor ❤️‍🔥 The service and atmosphere was great and the lady who attended us was so kind, she gave us good recommendations. You definitely are going to love the tea afterwards.

    Very friendly and helpful staff. Chef was amazing, both in cooking and in educating us on each dish. All food was incredible, we had garlic fried rice, garlic shrimp, okonomiyaki, crispy gyoza. Highly recommend all of these dishes! Atmosphere was chill and welcoming, even tho small. Parked across street and BOH garage. We will be back for sure. Mahalos for the great experience!

    Small venue with exquisite food. I ordered the okonomiyaki, pork yakisoba, and a lychee Chu-hi. Bar seating or hibachi style seating where they cook the food in front of you

    This little gem is an outstanding dining experience! The staff were so professional and friendly, the food was EPIC, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. Try the green tea ice cream! Do whatever you have to do to end up with some scallops! I highly recommend eating here.

    This beautiful place deserves all the praise. Just shut up and take my money!!!! Cocktails - Excellent. Service - Top Tier. Food - EXQUISITE!!!! I am not an expert in Japanese cuisine, but I CAN say I eat a lot of food. Went with the prix fixe menu. Love love love 💓💝❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

    Absolutely phenomenal food and service. We got lucky and walked by during happy hour and they had seats available. Cannot recommend this place enough if you like teppanyaki

  • 4/5 水野舞良 1 year ago on Google
    Fairly authentic Japanese food !! I had the yakisoba with a side of gyoza which tasted really good. Although, the gyoza were more like chips rather than dumplings and there was barely any meat ( although I think this was intentional as it has more of a fancy vibe than your average street food) other than that, a solid 4/5 stars. Customer service was great as well and the man spoke Japanese. +outdoor/indoor seating (good for those w/dogs)

    A little bit expensive, but that's to be expected in Waikiki. Insanely delicious food and great service though. You definitely get bang for your buck here.

    Umai! The doutonboriyaki is really, really tasty. Great liquor selection, gracious staff, and casual ambiance. Strongly recommend!

  • 5/5 Alexander C. 2 years ago on Google
    We went here after not being able to get a seat at Tonaktsu Ginza Bairin down the street, and we were very happy with our decision! We were seated immediately, and service was very attentive. We got the garlic shrimp (which was great) and a steak dish with rice (which unfortunately wasn't too flavorful, but was still good). They even gave us boxes to neatly put our bags in while we ate! It definitely seemed like this place was underrated, so if you're in the area, consider giving it a shot!

    This place is delicious!!! The okonomiyaki is grilled to perfection and the teppanyaki is meticulously cooked by the chef. Service is amazing, staff were very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be coming back next time I visit 😋 Our table neighbors even came by to share in our love for the food 😂
