This our is our 1st time dining here.Also we're excited because it's also our 1st time to have a crab boil other then having it at home.So our friends that live in the area suggested this place.When we arrived it wasn't very bz.The room was only half full.The establishment looked old,plain and out of date decor but I figured that they concentrated on good food then a fancy restaurant.So after ordering our drinks we placed our orders.So our friends had the various crab boil combo's.Everything was tasty,perfectly seasoned and they gave a good amount of food.We were very happy.Staff were very friendly as well..When back on Oahu we will definitely be coming back.

9pc fresh oysters

I would like to say that this is my second time here and my experience was great. We came in right before the dinner rush on a Sunday night and it was perfect. It was slow and service was on point. I didn't get rushed at all. We started with some drinks and some appetizers. Ordered a basket of popcorn chicken and 18pc of fresh oysters. I'm a sucker for oysters and they were delicious. Squeezed the lemon slices on the Tabasco and poured it all over the oysters. Perfect! Also ordered the butter garlic snow crab combo with a side order of the kajun garlic butter sauce. It was definitely fulfilling. I'm not a fan of prawns and prefer more of the shrimp or muscles instead but can't sub anything unfortunately but it's ok. Over all a great dinner without any complaints. I would come here again for the seafood boil.

I've ordered takeout from here but never actually dined in until recently. Located in the Waimalu shopping center, lots of parking but hard to find if you come at peak dinner time. We arrived around 445ish and the restaurant was half empty so we got sat right away. We ordered our food and it came out pretty quick. The food was delicious per usual but it was definitely more enjoyable at the restaurant than eating it at home! Service was great, it didn't look like very many of them but they were on it with checking on all the tables. I noticed that the restaurant filled up super quick. I am always craving seafood boil and I think I've found a good spot. I usually get the shrimp and so far, it hasn't been overcooked! Love the consistency. What really shocked me was how good their fries were and the portion was huge. Will be ordering from here again soon!

Salt and pepper shrimp to go

Ordered take out on a weekday night. Place wasn't busy. Lots of seating. Food came out quickly. Good flavoring.

Lunch special salt n pepper shrimp

Always great food!! A real treat! And a family favorite. Oh, and always get the green beans...

Wow!!! Our guests arrived before us on purpose to give their card to pay for dinner. Doc and I had also slipped our cards to the waiter not knowing what transpired before we got there. Each of us had our own bag of customized items we selected from the menu. You also get to choose your spice level and sauce. You are provided with a plastic apron and a pair of disposable gloves to protect your clothes and hands. I was the only one who didn't use the gloves but I'm glad they gave extra napkins and wet wipes. The food came out piping hot. As soon as we ordered, paper plates and 3 implements were brought to the table to help remove the crab meat from the shells. Use your Yelp check in to get a free soda too. It was quite a surprise when the bill came and 3 credit cards were returned and Doc's friends had treated us to dinner.

Snow crab combo #4 with Cajun garlic butter.
Sheree-Lynn S.

After ordering our food, a stack of paper plates, napkins, wipes, bibs, crab crackers, gloves and utensils arrived on our table. Our food arrived soon after, it comes to the table in a plastic bag mixed with the sauce you select. The food was tasty, I had combo #4 with Cajun and garlic butter flavor. Was it messy, yes, every time you stick your hand in the bag it gets all over your hands (I honestly would have preferred my food dumped on a metal tray so I could see everything and it would be way easier to get to) just my opinion.

Came here a few weeks ago with a friend for a belated birthday celebration and it did not disappoint. I ordered some clams with medium heat and it was pretty spicy! Fries were delicious and had some good heat to them as well. My favorite thing was surprisingly the green beans! My friend ordered it as a side and it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely order again. We went on a Wednesday for lunch so it was fairly empty. Server was very quick and checked on us to see how we were doing a few times. I liked coming in when it wasn't busy but I hear it gets pretty crowded at dinner.

Customer service is A +! They are so sweet and they walk around making sure everyone is ok. My water was never empty, I got everything I asked for. They tried to accommodate us because of our stroller and wanted to make sure we were comfortable. The food is very good although the shrimp seemed very over cooked because it was a little soft and mushy. Overall flavor with the cajun butter garlic was delicious. I also ordered some raw oyster and it was very fishy tasting. The noise level here is moderate, I noticed a lot of people came in groups. Parking is shared with many businesses in the shopping center. There is always parking but it does get pretty packed and busy.

Friday night and here for a birthday. We have been to this location before for special occasions like Friendsgiving and even for my first my college graduation party! The food here speaks for itself and the flavoring of it is exceptionally memorable. It's a bit stronger for some but I love the Cajun or garlic butter options for most of the seafood. Their black bean sauce is also really good especially when ordering clams. I love that this location is central to everything and in Waimalu shopping center which is nice for family and loved ones to be able to get together. The service is decent and I love that it's one of the fewer places now that still serve Dungeness Crab which is what our birthday girl wanted on a Friday night. We had reservations so there was luckily no wait although it got busy shortly after. With a simplistic ambiance the seafood really is the ultimate highlight. They were out of King crab when we went but usually have that available. Overall a great experience but lost a star due to first the reservation procedure which only allowed a party of 6 or more to make one everyone else is first come first serve. Will return for another seafood craving

Do they offer discount for Military and veterans?

Can just order snow crab in butter garlic?

yes

Did your number change listed isn't working?

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knows if Cajun King Kaneohe is open as well?

Hello Agueda, Sorry we don't know if Cajun King Kaneohe is open. We are own by two different owners. You can give them a call.

Is there still an issue with rotten/spoiled seafood?

Have not experienced any issues with spoiled/ rotten food

I've been trying to call to make a reservation. But no one answers and it's seems to be out of service. Is there a different number that I can call to make a reservation?

Sorry Elvie. There is a mass outages around the island. Our phone line run by the internet. I can help you here. How many people for your reservation, what date, and time?

Are the portions for the combos big?

Hello Kailee. A combo is about 3.5-4.5 pounds of seafood, depends on which combo you get. A combo usually feed 2-3 people

Do I need to make a reservation?

no, very casual dining, just walk in

How can you charge a party of 7 people the 18% gratuity when the 7th person is a newborn baby (1 1/2 month old)? What service did you provide to my newborn that you deserve the right to charge her gratuity? That's just BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

That is horribly wrong of this place! Gratuity is given because we are grateful for good service. If they are adding it in as a mandatory charge, it is no longer gratuity and you may be selling yourself short. I was going to take my family here but… 

They like charge 18% for 5 adults and 2 small kids 2 yrs & 4yrs old cause the manager said no matter what it's 7 people.. THEY SUCK SHITTY SERVICE?

That's pretty standard at many restaurants to include gratuity for parties of 6 or more. I've never been to a restaurant that doesn't include children (unless they're infants under 1) as part of the headcount. Sorry you had a bad experience.

Even though I arrived after the ready/prepared pick up time, I still had to wait 10 more minutes because they still had to put the order together. The price is quite steep, so again...glad I tried here but I won't be a returning customer.

The chicken was fried in bite sizes with a crispy coating and hints of Chinese 5 spice. It was served on a bit of cabbage with fried basil. If you order the sauce that goes with it, you'll get a slightly sweet accent to the chicken. Grandpa Rolling Beef is a creative braised beef rolled in a scallion pancake with extra veggies. Great flavors with a crunchy texture. The joong or zong zhi was mochi rice with pork and preserved egg. If you were looking for home style sticky rice, you got it here with a bit of a light sauce. The preserved egg brings back memories of Popo's kitchen/ your childhood. We tried Taiwan tofu pudding for dessert. You should order it even if you order nothing else. Perfect for two. Silky tofu in a slightly sweet sauce with shaved ice, boba and peanuts combine for a perfect dessert. Not heavy and just sweet enough to tempt a non-dessert person. A return to this restaurant is always warranted! Give it a try!

First time eating here tonight. Theoretically I was not hungry because I had eaten a late lunch…read more Did not stop me from getting the grilled squid appetizer and the crunchy shrimp roll. I'm not gonna lie sushi rolls never do it for me as there's just too much flavors going on. I was kind of more or less looking for the crunch and it definitely hit that craving. Would I order it again, yes. And this, in my opinion when I looked at the different rolls that there were, set right around in the middle in regard to fanciness and desire for my taste buds. If I came back, I would want to try the softshell crab roll more than eat another Crunchyroll. In other words, the roll was good. I just have not found my roll yet. The grilled squid with something I don't fine on all menus and is one of my personal favorites, especially if it's not sweet which being that it's Japanese, it wasn't it was just charred, but still soft. Super good. Also ordered was sushi - specifically in a maguro, hamachi & ikura. I didn't eat any of this, but judging just by its looks and the cut that was served, it was a nice quality. Pops rated it pretty high. I was impressed. I have heard really good things about this restaurant. I just had never made the trip. But tonight, Pops wanted to eat sushi; sushi place in the mall had a 30 minute wait so I took a chance and called. They two were packed. But they had room for two people. And thank goodness or we would have missed this experience. The servers were all so kind. We'll be back

This also came with miso soup, salad and rice. I ordered the early bird with the garlic chicken and it was really good, crispy and garlicky, and enjoyed the shrimp and vegetable tempura. We also got some soybeans as an appetizer prior to ordering. Every table was taken so advise reservations if going for saturday dinner. The service was outstanding and our server allowed our bill to be split among 4 credit cards which was nice. We all enjoyed our meal and i recommend this japanese restaurant!

This left me emotional, frustrated, and breaking down to him as I was so excited to see his reaction of it all. Cancelling on guests with only an hour's notice is extremely unprofessional. I spoke with Evelyn and even as she kept apologizing and offering for me to speak to a manager, I had no time in the moment as our friends and I were left scrambling to find somewhere else for a nice birthday dinner. Super disappointing and no offer from the business in trying to make things right except to "reschedule". Simply offering a voucher for another night would have been a nice gesture to help amend the cancellation, but no, nothing. In all my years of event planning and large dinner events, never have I experienced this type of behavior from an establishment. People BEWARE! This restaurant WILL last minute cancel your reservation if the opportunity presents itself. No respect or common decency. Take your family, friends, and money elsewhere.

By chance, I saw they were having a Senior Special so we decided to go and check it out. So Glad We Did!!!! We've been there 2 weeks in a row! Here's more info on the Senior Special -- You have to be 60+ years old, it's daily from 4:00 - 5:00, it's pork nabe only (no substitutions) and the cost is $17. We always get the pirikara soup base. Love the taste -- they say it's a spicy garlic shoyu base but I don't think it's too spicy.. I actually add more togarashi to mine for a little extra kick. It comes with several thinly sliced pork slices, napa, choi sum, carrot, tofu, shiitake, kuzukiri (clear noodle), chives, and rice. It's the perfect combination and amount to satisfy! To make it even better, the Senior Special timing coincides with their daily Happy Hour -- how terrific can it get!! With Happy Hour there are drink and pupu specials that you can also enjoy. They have Happy Hour 2 times a day -- 4:00 - 6:00 and 8:30 to close. We order a Kirin pitcher and I always get a Melon Shochu. If you never tried their Melon Shochu, you should definitely give it a try. They put a whole melon Melona ice cream bar in their shochu mix. It is delicious -- almost feels like you're drinking a refreshing dessert. Oh.... did I forget to mention, it's a Happy Hour special, $7.00. Our waiter, Gabe, was AWESOME! All of the waiters at Ichiriki Aiea are good but Gabe was probably one of the best we've had. Very nice, always coming by to make sure we are okay, and just very pleasant to talk to. There were a couple of things that really stood out for us. My husband always requests a cup of ice which he scoops into his glass of beer. Even before his ice ran out, Gabe brought him another full cup of ice without my husband even asking! Wow, that's service! When we were leaving we wanted to take home the rest of the nabe we couldn't finish so he brought us a container. After putting it a bag, he decided to double bag it saying it would be terrible if it leaked and broke through. Yes, Ichiriki is very lucky to have him! So happy he was our waiter! Ichiriki is located right across from Pearlridge Macy's on the Ewa side. It's on the 2nd level which can be accessed from ramps on both sides of the restaurant area below. There's plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant so parking is never a problem. The restaurant has a real inviting atmosphere with their modern Japanese decor throughout. Inside you can select either standard seating or Japanese style seating. Just a note - there's an opening for your legs so you don't have to worry about how you're going to sit through the whole meal. If you're over 60 and love nabe, I definitely recommend you coming for the Senior Special. I'm not sure how long the special is going to lasts but it's definitely a winner for us!

He made us feel so stupid for asking questions. My friend was missing her ponzu so she asked him if she could get it, he pointed down and said "what's this?" Like that's just crazy to me. Never filled up our waters. Didn't even check on us after the food came. Then after we asked him for water it took him so long just to come back, we even had to flag him down just to pay our bill. I could go on and on about the night and honestly this was my favorite restaurant up until last night. I highly doubt I'll be back and I promise you if he is assigned to me as a waiter I will get up and leave.

Upon being seated by the hostess we were greeted by our waitress who placed a basket of their famous garlic knots on the table. These are by far and away the best garlic knots on island. (I grew up on the East coast, so I know my way around a good garlic knot). Best part is they're complimentary and bottomless...as long as you're dining in. Opposite window side of the building is a long stretch of wall where you can watch the chefs cook your food. It reminds me of an old school 80s buffet line in terms of looks. Complete with fake garlic strands and ropes of peppers. Oh, and the neon signs are a definite nostalgia trip. We opted to try the fried Mozzarella for a starter. Sauce was a little on the sweeter side, but it was delicious. My daughter got rigatoni with marinara sauce and my son got the spaghetti with meat sauce. Both of them loved their food, tho my son's meat sauce had small chunks of mushroom which I had to lie and tell him was just meat so he wouldn't spend the entire time picking out every mushroom. My wife got the vegetarian lasagna and I opted for the Fettucine pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a garlic cream sauce. Both were incredible. Us old folk ended up too full for dessert, but the kids got the kids sundaes which come with ice cream, sprinkles, whip cream and a cherry. My daughter got vanilla while my son opted for spumoni. They loved them. Will definitely be back. Already dreaming about more garlic knots. Vampires be damned.

Value is good, taste is average. The fried mozzarella was tasty. Sauce is on the sweeter side…read more Salad comes with lots of dressing. Service was good and our waitress was nice. Food came out pretty fast. Local vibe with lots of activity in the dinning room. Feels alive and very down to earth.
