Yoshida Meat

So gave this 5 stars because I stayed almost 2 hours. From the 3 dollar beers, to the array of food selection, to the pristine bathrooms!!! Not sure if I was more impressed by the bathrooms or just the friendliest food servers I was met with. Definitely must visit when on the island. If this review was helpful, please follow and like me!

Love the diversity of food, drinks, and little games (in the back)! Seems like there are a lot of businesses that come and go, but this gives opportunities for businesses to flourish and get some air-time. I love the ramen places and the beer garden - amazing. Wish they'd make the music softer sometimes because its loud enough and it makes it harder to hear each other talk.

This is a bustling food marketplace that gives you an immersive Japanese cuisine experience with so many options, including tepanyaki, sashimi, sushi, tempura, ramen, udon, musubi, poke, okinomiyaki, gyoza, and more. Prices are reasonable, especially their beer which we did not have but we saw many people enjoy them. We went back a few times and could have gone back many times more!

This place is amazing. I absolutely look the look of it 😍 As soon as we got there, we played the gacha thing they had, and I have to admit, I got a little out of hand with it lol! Just the suspense of not knowing how much each ticket inside the capsule was gonna be worth. So you buy a token (which is $5 each), and choose a machine you want to use it on. The tickets can range from 5-100. After you're done, you can go back to redeem them at the counter you bought the tokens from. There is a huge variety of prizes you can trade for, too bad I didn't get any pictures though. There are also some food shops and the stationary store that you can spend your tokens at, which is great! We ended up going to the Gourmet Plaza Japan (if that's what it's called) to get an early dinner. Food was good. Only thing docking it it from 5* to 4* is that some of the workers (where we ordered our food from) were making it a bit uncomfortable to be around; acting very unpleasant, especially since they were in work attire, whether they were on the clock or not. So we just ate and moved on to a different spot. Ended up at Marion Crepes for dessert, and yum! But too much azuki beans in mine for my taste. ALSO! On Sunday's, kids 12 and under get a free token to use on the kiddie machines, which I think is really great ^_^

How can ypu skip this place when in Honolulu. Located inside Ala Moana, this japanese food village is a must to go. Theres a bit of ramen collections which many of them are really good and not to forget the $1 beer... So many other things to try too from softserve, okonomiyaki, japanese curry, and more. Soo oishi!!!

If we had a place like this in Seattle, I would be the fattest person you know. It's a food court like area with so many shops that I got confused where I was multiple times. Theres something for everyone and even though some things might be a little pricier, it's definitely worth it. My husband had some black garlic tonkatsu ramen, and I had a veggie tempura bowl, both amazing and reminded us of japan itself. We also tried some malasadas, which looked and tasted astounding, and some classic japanese side dishes which reminded me of what my own japanese grandmother used to make. I would be here every night for dinner if i could.
