This was easily one of the best places to eat during our trip. We went back THREE times last week. Everything on the menu was a hit: gyu don, raw octopus, chicken katsu curry, bao buns, karaage, poke, cold tofu, everything!

I don’t know why this place would have any fewer stars than 5 STARS. Not only was the food authentic Japanese… the service from our guy Edward was stellar. First class all the way. Tried a new beer on his recommendation, and it did not disappoint. We love Maui and this special find was a bonus on our trip. If you are reading reviews and trying to decide where to go…STOP! This is the place! MAHALO.

We went on a Friday night and waited about 25 minutes for a table for our party of 6. Service was fantastic, food was delicious. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered! Pictured are takoyaki (one of 8 served) katsu don (pork).

Got their katsu curry, and their katsu was very crispy and thick. Their bao buns were also very delicious!

Got takeout.. food was good. I feel the pork belly bao needed more acid or pickles to cut the fat..

Pleasantly and surprisingly the best place I’ve eaten on this business trip. Quaint, cozy, authentic, diverse Izakaya in the middle of tourist country. Small space but very good quality menu for reasonable prices. Diverse liquor menu as well. Service staff of three is friendly, quick and courteous. Chef is very much on point as the quality of food that comes out is quick and tasty. I give them credit for outputting as much as they do for a small operation. It works and is evident by how many local Japanese dine here. Will be back for the shortribs next visit. Very nice! ✌️

I had thought I had rated Izakaya Genbe previously, apparently I had not. The last few times I had eaten there, the food was authentic, the interior was great, it was one of the few places to get Tamago Kake Gohan (TKG), the grilled fish was great, and the service was pretty good. Felt like an authentic izakaya.

Authentic Japanese Izakaya! It’s Japanese tapas. We especially enjoyed garlic fries and fried chicken. Okonomiyaki was also great and shrimp tempura was delicious! The Japanese music was so much fun. The bottle of sake was a little bit pricey, but overall, the food was reasonably priced and the ambiance was great! Highly recommend this place!

Menu is not too large with focus on some great items. We really enjoyed the corn in the ramen. The takoyaki was fresh and warm (not too hot) and the sukiyaki was well flavored with well balanced amount of tofu, noodles, and beef.
