    We hosted a party of 10 and everyone loved their food and had such a great time. Mikael was the best chef ever. He was so good with entertaining my 3 year old grandson and the adults. It was a birthday/Father’s Day celebration and they did not disappoint.

    My wife and I both ordered the premium set shogun meal with the Wagyu beef option. It was excellent! The wagyu beef, scallops and lobster were all delicious! Also, our chef Joe was great. Besides his amazing presentation cooking the food he was very entertaining with his jokes and commentary.

    Really great food as always, if perhaps getting a bit pricy.

    We've been to Tanaka of Tokyo whenever we are in Honolulu. Normally a great experience. This time, our party of four was seated with a party of 2. One of the other party members was "gluten aware" (thier words not mine". Because of the awareness, the entire table was treated to gluten free soy sauce when the chef prepared our meals. No one asked our party for our preference. At close to $300 give me the gluten or the courtesy of asking.
