"Best wagyu hands down in Hawaii. The mochiko fried chicken is also one of the sofest and tender chicken we've ever had. Was so full but didnt want to let it to go waste. Our server was extremely helpful, friendly, and knowledge."

"The food was amazing! Every bite was full of flavor! The atmosphere and friendly staff were a pleasant surprise, and our waiter, Daniel helped make it a memorable experience! Highly recommend the daily special steak, the sweet potato salad, Sumida Farm Watercress Mini Salad, Spicy Chilled Soba, Local Power Natto Ahi Poke, Mochiko Fried Chicken, and the miso soup. Job well done!"

"We came over since we couldn’t get a reservation for 4 at other places that we frequently visited. It turned out that we all enjoyed the food and service here. The food was not quite traditional Japanese, but instead it used locally sourced ingredients and added a bit of creativity to come up with some really tasty dishes. For example, the local cucumber salad and the Maui pickled onions were great appetizers. The poke was fresh as was the seared ahi (very tasty). The mochiko chicken was tender and tasty (pieces could be a bit smaller). The ginger Kona pork (not sure if the pork is form Kona or just the taste was created in Kona) was tasty but could use a bit more ginger. I am sure the chef has a good reason for that, but I just love ginger in just about any dish. Finally, the spicy soba was quite unique, tasted nothing like soba that we had known and loved. It was excellent and perfect to finish our meal with a bowl. We also tried its 3-sake flights and even though our server told us the names of each, but we couldn’t remember them, but they all tasted very good. Our server, David, was entertaining and attentive. We sat outside in the patio area, which was comfortable and looked better than its tiny indoor dinning area. It was a bit pricy even for Waikiki, but definitely acceptable for the nice dining experience. We will add this to our regular dining spots in Waikiki"
