Eggplant dengaku is amazing - I know it's an appetizer, but trust me. Butterfish was good and I don't even like fish. The service was really great, very prompt. The place felt very fancy but also relaxed? We went midday on a weekday and it wasn't very busy.

it’s a good sign when they give you a pestle to grind the seasame seeds for the katsu sauce. This place is neat n elegantly simple, good date place. all the food is proper n delicious. some think this place is on the expensive side but after paying 20bucks per person at a nearby foodcourt, i think the value proposition is really relative. i think i will bring guests here for a treat nextime.

We didn’t have to wait for seating at all during lunch time. The wait staff was attentive. The food was excellent and came out fast. The katsu is soft, fluffy and crispy. The atmosphere is unique and eloquent. Would be a great place for a date.

Food and Atmosphere was very good (had our own cornered off room)... we ordered a bit of everything but the 2 dishes that stood out were the sashimi platter (Hamachi, Ahi, Salmon, Belt Fish, Octopus) which was very fresh... And the tonkatsu (Pork loin and fillet) was also extremely tasty and juicy... Pricey but I would highly recommend this restaurant in Ala Moana.

The first time I went there their shrimp tempura is the best I have ever had. It is crispy light and really juicy. The shrimp is slightly raw in the center which makes it not as overcooked as in other restaurants. The second time though it was not good. Not crispy and very greasy. The tonkatsu is also very heavy. The teriyaki salmon is great. Perfectly cooked and not too sweet and have a subtle charred flavor.
The experience really depends on the chefs’ shifts.

Not sure why others did not like the katsu here. This place has one of the best katsu I’ve tried. Their sashimi are also very fresh! Prices are a bit steep; expect to spend $20~$30 on a katsu.

Best miso butterfish i have ever had. Katsu was amazing too.

Clean venue and friendly staff. Food is pricy and overall very tasty. More on the salty side, I liked the miso butterfish at the start but it got more and more salty as the meal progressed.

Everything from the salad, hamachi kama, tonkatsu, sashimi, miso soup & the service was excellent! The combo meal is such a great deal too!

Went there around 1pm on a Tuesday. Restaurant was half full. Service was quick and good. Our waiter could do better if he didn’t spill any sauce. No harm done though.
The prices were reasonable. Food quality was not top notch but decent. The ambiance was good. We liked it. The rice was good. The sashimi was about average (compared to northern California Japanese restaurants).
