We really enjoyed this local spot. There’s free parking! Make sure you park in the right stalls (the numbered ones alongside restaurant, there’s a posting on their door)
HH 5-7p. We went on a Sunday at 5pm and got seated right away. There’s indoor/outdoor seating. We got many of the HH menu and one tataki steak off regular menu. My fav was the fish cake tempura and yaki negitoro don! Omurice was so yummy too. We wanna try the rest of menu next time! Will definitely come back! Oh, and the staff is super friendly!
We only tried it for happy hour and it was pretty enjoyable! Got the agedashi tofu, Goya champuru, ahi bowl, omurice, and a shaken plum wine sake cocktail. The food was pretty good, and decent sizes for all being $8. The $5 cocktail was solid but wish it had come out chilled or with a big ice block in it. The regular menu has some interesting sounding pasta dishes and natto creations if you're adventurous, but we'd probably swing by just for HH on weekdays when it's not too crowded :)

Found this amazing little gem by mistake and the first time we went we were unable to be seated because of how busy it was!! Sooo naturally we tried again!! Let me say the only thing that could be improved was ambiance. It’s a bit loud in the back room where we were sat, having said that it wasn’t unacceptable.
Now for all the amazing. The happy hour is unmatched. The prices have been raised since some of the other pictures were taken but just by $1 mostly. The regular prices are really reasonable. I do with the portions were more consistent and a little bigger.
Pork kakuni was delicious but 3 pieces of pork belly in the first dish and 5 pieces on the second order.
The pork lettuce wraps were okay but again 4 pieces of lettuce and not large pieces. So the portions need to be more consistent and I feel larger.
The antipasto was really good and that dish seemed full but only came with 2 pieces of rolled ham and they were 1 bite each.
The agedashi tofu was really good and had a good amount of tofu with it!
The rock shrimp deep fried was okay, but nothing much more than a shrimp cocktail with some sauce, which was pretty damn good.
The sake drinks for $4 are delicious!!
All in all this place is really delicious and a great value for what you receive. I’ll be coming back for sure.
coziest bar and grill ive been to so far. Went with some family visiting from vegas!! Will definitely go back with some friends. And to the waiter with all the tattoos… you are very handsomee!! id never say anything in person, but compliments to the food AND that waiter. 😩🙏🏼
This place sucks! Ok! I admit it took a lot for me to write a review here because I don’t want to share! Haha! The locals know and it vibes chill! To me, Chez is the anti-Waikiki spot for a myriad of dishes and drinks! Japanese fusion dishes is why you’re here! Happy Happy is FIYAH but even the regular menu can’t be beat! Just note weekends gets crowded have a plan B if turned away! Muah
Chez Kenzo has the best Happy Hour outside of Waikiki! Great menu, super cool staff!!!
It's a must try :)
Great happy hour choices! And lots of local fare! Worth checking out…but you’ll need to get there by 5:00pm to get a table—filled up fast and people stay the entire 2 hours of happy hour. And free parking! Nice perk!
Tried multiple of their tapas here and literally everything was delicious!! It's a true hidden gem that is well worth the stop. The drinks are super good and affordable!
This place has a great feel to it. The food is pretty dang tasty, the drinks are fun, and the strongest pull here is the service. The staff here work hard and are amazing at what they do.
Dishes I've liked:
Miso ramen
Pumpkin and bacon
Ja-ja nasu
Great place for dates and simply good food and drinks. They have an extensive menu from small plates to pastas and even foie gras. We didnt try that this time but we will they next time we come back.
Attentive staff and service. Highly recommended.
Save room for desserts too.
