    We’ve been here multiple times, and it never disappoints. Every dish is consistently delish. The service is always incredible, staff who are not only friendly but also spot-on with their recommendations. The food is the kind of food you want to close your eyes and eat slowly to enjoy each bite. The vibe is relaxed and cool. Nice for a date night but also family friendly. Surprisingly easy to get reservations for. Great sake. Highly recommend!

    Everything is good food, service, the ambiance, but then why pay high prices for good. Morimoto in Napa is really a top experience for not much more money so I struggle to find a reason to come back here if not some deal like the two dollar beer special but otherwise this place is well over priced

    Great spot in Waikiki and fantastic service. Good food but a slightly limited menu. Great views and open air or indoor dining.

    Amazing food, smaller portions than expected, however I’m not sure how valid my opinion is since I’m used to large portions on the mainland.

    We came for my wife’s birthday and we’re delighted by the fabulous food, the great views and the general ambience. The team was nice, busy, and always friendly. Highly recommended.

    Overall, it was fine but when you book an 8:30p reso and they tell you kitchen is closing at 9:20, you’re now in a rushed state. For spending what you spend here, I want to relax and enjoy my meal. Food came out way too fast and you could tell they were hustling us out. Food, delicious. Servers, friendly courteous. Hours of operation and impact on our enjoyment? Awful.

    Service was excellent. Food was mediocre. I expected tastier food from a restaurant conceived by an iron chef. Ordered the ishiyaki buri bop and the waiter went to town on my dinner mixing the hell out of the dish while talking over the bowl.
