    どの料理も美味しくいただきました！ コースで提供された 'ポケ' が、少し辛すぎました。 料理が提供されるタイミングも、少し遅かったです。 味・接客・雰囲気・コストのトータルで考えると、 とても良かったです。 リピートする価値と、知り合いにお勧めもできます。 ご馳走様でした！ 😊

    We had Prix Fixe dinner. I expected individual servings and not family style. Ala carte menu was hard to maneuver thru, but maybe we should have.

    This is definitely a hidden gem! Heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place and was skeptical to try it for ourselves. This place was amazing!!! We had such a great time and the food and service was outstanding. We came here to celebrate my bfs birthday and it’s definitely our top 5 restaurant experiences. We loved all the food we got with a few being stand outs that we definitely need to come back to try. And although we ordered a lot we wish we could’ve tried more! The service was definitely a stand out as well. The host was outgoing and very welcoming, our server was very knowledgeable and patient when going over the menu and the manager was very tentative and checked on us as well.

    Midway through a week of celebrations, we decided to combine birthday and anniversary into one delicious evening out at a favorite destination. Arden did not disappoint. The romaine salad was delicious, as was the steamed kanpachi. Beverages were delicious (I can recommend the Sacred Bird cocktail and the French press coffee). We enjoyed watching the Kapiolani Park scene.
