   Made reservation with Open Table but when arrived at restaurant, they did have reservation and had only a appointment book which wasn't very legible. The service and staff were very courteous. There is a nice fully stocked bar, but not available for dinner service??

   When Kaku first open food variety was excellent now selection is ok. Price is too expensive for the Christmas holiday for what you got.

   The food was great but the lines were slow and long. Seemed like the kitchen couldn’t keep up with the customers. Good variety of food but they need a lot more desserts (only had vanilla ice cream on a crepe). The staff was quick and polite.

   Kaku did not have our open table reservation when we arrived. Very disappointing!

   There was a pretty decent selection of sushi, however, that meant not many pieces of each group. Therefore, it ran out very quickly and took quite a while to replenish. Ironic that they give you a 90 minute time limit; much of your time will be waiting for the sushi. There was not too many seafood dishes, either. So, the price for an AYCE sushi and seafood buffet was inflated. Quite deceiving as I could did not get “ all I could eat,” as I got tired of waiting. I attempted to speak to some staff, who could not understand me, nor I, them- language barrier. I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this restaurant.

   Still one of the best lunch buffet in Waikiki for the price. All dishes are fresh and tasteful. Much better than most Japanese restaurants in Honolulu. The only complaint is the menu never change, a bit difficult for local residents to dine frequently for the same dishes..........

    Service & setting was good, but the food wasn’t up to my expectations. The crab legs were fresh.
