Their karaage chicken is amazingly juicy one of the best I’ve had! The creamy tonkotsu is definitely my favorite; rich, flavorful, and super comforting. The black tonkotsu is okay, not my top choice but still decent. Overall, great food and a place I’d happily go back to.

Loved the visit we had here. We shared a Genbe Roll and both a Tonkatsu and Black Tonkatsu ramen with added marinated egg. SO full of delicious flavors! I only wish there was more to eat because it was that good! Also loved the small shop vibe, the friendly staff (we were laughing about shows that were playing on their TV), and the little anime touches.

Small and cozy place. I ordered the ramen and was not disappointed. Great service and tasteful food. Would definitely recommend people trying it out, at least for their ramen.

Went here for dinner. Plenty of parking in the lot. No reservations taken. If needed, there’s a queue on the yelp app. Had shrimp tempura as appetizer, then a great tasting ramen and homemade matcha pudding. Tried shochu here. Nice selection of sake also.

Among all the great Japanese restaurants in Hawaii, this one may not stand out. Their food is authentic and decent, but I think what truly elevates the experience is the service, the staff were incredibly friendly and made the atmosphere feel authentic and welcoming. It’s a solid choice still!
