I do miss the original place on Kapahulu. This location is a decent place. Overall the decor has always deterred me. The space, decor and color scheme just doesn't seem inviting. Just doesn't match but don't let that deter you. Menu is nice, service very friendly but inconsistent. Sushi boat is nice but not a wow factor. Seems like you could only eat the wagyu beef as there weren't any other beef selections listed. Tried to ask sushi chef questions but they were very focused on what was in front of them. Overall, food is good but didn't fascinate. I will try and give it another look one day. Spent $600+ but just didn't perceive the value.
This is a really nice place! Sushi platters from other pics look fantastic, but I came for the mackerel (my favorite). While it's not shioyaki, the soy sauce or whatever salty sauce they provided did the trick and it was tasty, flaky, and oily just how I like it ^^ Absolutely cannot beat the price! Flight of sake also extremely good and great price! 10/10 would absolutely recommend. Take friends here! Very nice interior, clean, friendly, spacious. Like a family restaurant combined with a bar. Saw some tables that were reserved...not sure if it's necessary but heads up if you have a group or coming well after opening. Also heard they have karaoke...
Cool space if a little sparse inside. Still feels like it's a new restaurant figuring things out. Fish was good but not amazing. Staff was very nice.
A nice little establishment that serves Japanese cuisine. Limited items on the menu but what they offer is done very well. A good selection of alcoholic beverages and sake to try also. Unlike the previous restaurant, on Kapahulu, it now has a more bar like feel. Still a place to enjoy tasty Japanese food.
Great atmosphere. Filled with music and conversation. Open space with a sushi bar and drinks. Wait staff was great. Recommend reservations. Parking on the street and in the rear of the restaurant.
Friendly staff and very reasonable prices. Pork Katsudon that came with Mac Salad, Miso Soup, Tsukemono and Tamago, as well as a refreshing and tasty cold noodle...and all for $14? You cannot beat that.
5 STARS! Oh my god, everything on this menu deserves a place in heaven. The Wafu Steak brought so much joy to my mouth and body. If I ever have an option to pick my last meal this would be a main part of that meal. I’ve never had a steak so beautiful and amazing in my life. Next- The chicken katsu! So so juicy. Combined with the katsu sauce and wow my mouth was singing with joy. I would eat this everyday if I could. The sushi may have also been the best I ever had! And last but not least, the appitizers! Tofu lightly grilled to perfection. If I could give this restaurant 1000 stars I would! Can’t be beat!!
the wafu steak was overdone (and I’d prefer the option of a finer cut), but the mashed cauliflower and onions made it packed with flavor. can’t go wrong with the chicken katsu, and the lava cake is a great way to top it off. japanese beer for a good price too. they got good taste in music vids on the TVs

Great food and drinks at a reasonable price, what more can you ask for? Well they also have a great service. The staff is attentive and personable. I felt like a VIP and on my first visit too. Not exactly the best for all ages but it’s possible. I’m just speaking from my experience when I had my 4yr old and wife with me. I did notice they also had private rooms as well. So if reserved then a family get together is very possible. Almost forgot to mention the sushi bar is great as well. Not your average bar, yet too good to be considered a hole in the wall. More like a diamond in the ruff. I plan to make this spot one of my regular stops.
