Review Takonoki - Honolulu

Adam Wood

Pretty good Japanese izakaya! Decor is traditional Japanese, photos on the wall on the staircase up to the seating area are of Japanese celebrities who have visited before. Japanese cinema posters plaster the walls. Went here after a long day and sat right at the bar. Place was mostly Japanese and Japanese-speaking Americans at the bar I had an interesting chat with. Definitely authentic style izakaya foods, with both Japanese and Hawaiian beers on tap. I opted for the tuna bowl and Kirin. Reasonable prices for the food, and fast and friendly service. It's a bit loud inside, given the bar environment and the number of customers. Good for larger groups, there are large seating areas and tables available!

Wonderful experientce at Izakaya Takonoki in Waikiki Hawaii. I have been here several times and always enjoyed the food, environment and service. Definate 20 stars.

Great service, fantastic food, reasonable prices, and very authentic old style Japanese atmosphere that was perpetuated by the fact that everyone else in the restaurant was Japanese. It was much busier when I first got here, but a lot of people left before I took the photo. If you like Japanese food and you're on Oahu, you should definitely eat here. I only wish I had found it when I first arrived on the island so I could eat here more often.

Good place for dinner, and tasty 明太子お茶漬け

Izakaya with a very old school, traditional feel. Judging by the amount of Japanese being spoken, is frequented by a lot of Japanese customers. Enjoyable experience, sitting at the Bar, having a few beers, eating and watching the chef make your dinner at the grill.

This is a traditional izakaya. I think some of the reviewers don't understand what an izakaya is supposed to be, but it is pretty authentic. They'll even keep bottles for you for a few months. A small number of the food items are hit and miss, but most of it is quite good. The okonomiyaki is top notch.

My favorite Japanese beer drinking joint in Waikiki. Chirimen cabbage and Asari Cabbage, and Sake... DONE!

Not quite as good as I remembered it from previous visits but still a better than average place for Waikiki.

Sitting at the bar, feels like a trueJapanese izakaya. It's not fancy, but it's not supposed to be.
