They were very busy and seemed to be a little under staffed. The food was great. Don’t be in a rush, but you can enjoy. I had the tonkatsu. My wife had the shrimp fried rice. We both enjoyed our meals. Her rice was loaded with shrimp.

Good prices and pretty big portions. The shrimp with vegetables tasted amazing. The curry and ramen were also very good.

This place has amazing Japanese style curry. The plates are very lage portions but match with the price of a plate around $15 each. I feel like you won’t leave hungry which isn’t a bad thing. I couldn’t finish my plate. The plate is bigger than my head and the picture just doesn’t do it enough justice. I felt really good after eating here. It’s definitely a very small dining area, I think they would do much better at a larger establishment. With 5 parties the whole restaurant might be completely full.

Long line during weekend dinner time, although it was packed the ordering was quick, the service was impeccable, food came out hot, as ordered and generous. Condiments on the table were clean and full, water was never empty. Food was Good.

It’s a small space that can get loud and crowded during their busy hours which is totally expected. That being said we weren’t there for very long. Food was out quickly and was absolutely delicious. You get a very satisfying meal for a reasonable price. Service was quick and reasonable.

Solid 4 star. Cheap considering the location as hawaii tends to be more expensive. Great service and food came fast + hot. Chicken katsu was crispy and fairly good. Miso ramen was slightly flavorless and the noodles weren’t amazing but overall good experience

Good ramen experience. Menu is a bit complex for first timers but the helpful staff made it easy. Delicious ramen (don’t drink all the soup at the end as it’s salty) delicious chicken cutlet and curry. Also got the veggie bowl curry made vegan which was tasty.

Udon/ ramen (noodles) at egood but the broth and bamboo chutes are NOT. The egg smelled and tasted bad and the whole time our table smelled gross. Do not recommend the udon, gyoza, or ramen.

The service was great! They weren’t too busy when we arrived, so we were seated promptly. The food was flavorful, but the noodle broth was a little salty for my liking. However, I really enjoyed the pork fried rice. Their prices are reasonable and I will definately return to try other dishes!
