The world tour duo dined at Rinka Ward Village. I just returned from 3 weeks in Japan so it would be a stern test … Japanese food in Hawaii versus that from various locales in Japan.
We were seated at a small table for two so we asked our wait staff to space out our food orders. This was partially s
Park at whole foods and walk over. The service is lightning fast. They use tablets to take your order. The food is delicious and worth every penny. The sushi was very fresh and not fishy. Love this place. We be back to check out their lunch specials.
Very good taste. I should have order early on kamameshi. Which will take about 40 min.
Portion are small, Japanese portion.
I ordered 5 items and rice for family of 4.
Miso butter fish was good.
Amazing place to hold a private function, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything was amazing.
Very high quality, fresh sushi and beautiful presentation! We got a private room in the back which was very comfortable. The servers were very attentive and hospitable.
We had a party of 12 so we got the private room which was perfect. Our waiter was great. He explained everything we needed to know. The prices are a little on the high side but the portions are ample so that's ok. I had the miso Butterfish and it was the biggest I've ever had. Thus place is defin
Aloha; new place in town and it's delicious. The staff is awesome and super kind. The place has an upscale japanese feel and the food is amazing. I recommend doing many pupus instead of one dish ... better to try all the small dishes.. so worth the time and money. Enjoy
New, beautiful Japanese Restaurant
Located in Ae'o at Ward Village
There's Ample parking above Rinka in the Whole Foods parking garage (entrance /upramps on Queen St and on Halekauwila)
High ceilings and modern design makes it a very special place for a lovely Japanese meal.
If you are visiting f
Second time coming here for lunch and getting the seafood chirashi. The portion size and taste is consistent, although the price has gone up. The fish is fresh, no fishy taste, the side dishes and chawanmushi were also good. Would definitely get the seafood chirashi again!
2nd visit for dinner. Tasted good. Dishes came out different from the pictures on the menu. Overall is okay. Service may need improvement.
I love the interior! I just don’t like the sunset rays. We visited on a Sunday to have early dinner (~5:30pm).
Food: The food was very tasty. The beef tongue curry soup was the most surprising dish. I really enjoyed it.
Parking: is free! Park in any of the ward parking lots. We parked in the Who
Always very nice experience! Parking is easy and dessert place is right next door (: holy grail donuts
The sashimi was delicious & the uni was oh so smooth like butter! Also everything was reasonably priced. The service was byfriendly & I would definitely go back to try their omakase
All of the dishes that were ordered was so ono!! The fish is so fresh, and even the pork belly just melts in your mouth! The Green Tea Brulee dessert was a surprisingly delicious way to capped off the meal. A must have if you stop in at Rinka!
If there was a 6..Rinka would be it. Superb Japanese (traditional) food and a great dining experience, every time. Sushi is one of the best to be found on the island. Save room for their desserts!
Rinka was great! The food selection was nice, even mozuku shined. The sushi was excellent, and service was also great. There is one you lady who works at the front who is well dressed and absolutely stunning 😍. Sake selection is nice too, not an izakaya vibe but classy Ward establishment, clean and
We love Rinka. Excellent service, excellent food! Expect to pay higher prices for quality food. Their chazuke is a budget friendly option and is one of my favorites. This dish is comfort food at its finest.
