Very good! Nice atmosphere and affordable prices. Highly recommended!
Hidden Treasure. We recently stayed at the Pagoda Hotel and from our room we looked down on Sorabol and Asahi Grill. We didn't try Asahi till second to the last day we were there... We are still kicking ourselves! Cheap beer, great Pupu's. We went back for breakfast. Their fried rice was awesome and I had Oyaku Don for breakfast....ONOLICIOUS! OMG when I come home again we are staying at the Pagoda and hitting Asahi Grill first thing! This was the location on Rycroft.. =)
When you come here you need to try the oxtail soup and the Pork tonkatsu, both dishes were filled with sooo much flavor. A lot of meals on Hawaii can get really expensive but both of these dishes were at a reasonable price and a very good portion.
Overall the restaurant is very mom and pop style so don’t expect any fine dining service. It’s good for a quick bite or casual dinner. 10/10 would recommend!
Although the service is okay, the food here (especially the oxtail soup) is freaken amazing. It's suppose to be famous and I believe it! Their kalbi and donburi was decent too!

I place this in the small sit-in, family-friendly style restaurant tier, along side Oh My Grill or L&L Hawaiin Barbecue, but with more options. Within this tier, I think it does a great job competing, but I've had better experiences, so it only gets 4/5. An example of a 5 would be Mason's Dumplings in Boulder, Colorado. If Asahi served the food in nicer dishes, offered better drinks, and/or had a better interior, I'd give it a 5. Otherwise, the oyakodon (親子丼) I ordered was better than some versions I've has in Japan. The chicken was of great quality, some pieces with skin or cartilage, adding wonderful texture. The flavor was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, and also savory. I could taste the mirin, but I think they also added sugar. I'm a bit sensitive to sweet flavors though, so others might find it more mild. The eggs were cooked through, but still soft and a bit fluffy with good flavor. The onions were almost caramelized, like most oyakodon would have them. Fairly traditional and authentic, and I'd eat it again.
An asian diner with a Hawaiian twist.
Their fried rice and loco Moco tasted great, as well as their oxtail soup, with available selection between a regular soup with more meat and oxtail ramen with two pieces of oxtail meats.
The pork chop was mediocre, considering it being pretty dry with a simple salt and pepper seasoning (ketchup available).
Overall a great diner at Waikiki.
We arrived about 7:30pm on a Sunday night, the place was busy, and the parking lot pretty full. No wait for us and we were pointed in the direction of an open table. Basic restaurant not much decor, a couple of singles on their phones watching videos without headsets and playing them loud.
I ordered the Kim Chee Ramen and my companion ordered Oxtail Ramen and Lup Cheong Fried rice. The food is flavorful and enjoyable.I would definitely be back, just for the food, not the ambiance.
It’s a nice friendly atmosphere with GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE & DELICIOUS ONO KINE GRINDZ!!!👏👏👏💯WILL BE BACK AGAIN 🙌🏽🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🧜🏾♀️
Best Ramen In the Hawaii🥹 what an incredible dish. I can say this is a meal that made with full heart of love. It reminded me food made from home. I finished everything, even did not last a drop of broth. I’m so great full.💕
Good standard Hawaaian breakfast. Lovely service. Fast.
Me and my wife love's it here. Very small business,support local,and very family friendly. Love there food,very old fashion. Another jem in the wall
A little divey, but its whats up. oxtail soup and loco moco were fantastic. Soup broth was light but rich. Oxtail was soft and delicious. The patty in the loco moco (mini) was crispy through the gravy and egg. yum.
