    My husband and I booked a reservation and were seated quickly and beers arrived moments after we ordered them. We did the all you can eat for $56 and I felt there was a good selection to choose from for that price (for $56 you can choose from 45 items). Out favorite was probably the pork belly or ribeye, but all the selections were great. We added on a few dipping butters, which elevated the meal even more. The service was fantastic and the overall experience was great. We plan to eat here every time we visit Waikiki. Highly recommend!

    Restaurant smelled like a bathroom. Meat was OK and the rice was very low quality. Waiters were nice, though.
