Fukuya - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food here always hits the right spot. I got the Bento C combo, and a side order of nori chicken. Will definitely be back again.

Oh the nostalgia! Growing up, when it was field trip day at school, my parents always woke me up early to go to fukuya to pick out my lunch. A trip to Fukuya was a special treat, not a daily occurrence, so every time was a happy time. Chow fun, furikake musubi, nori wrapped chicken, shoyu wrapped hot dog, shrimp tempura, fried chicken, are just a few of the offerings Fukuya has. Parking can be a little tough, but it's worth the headache. Just visited recently and the food tastes just how I remember it many years ago. I hope okazuya, deli places like Fukuya never go out of business. read more

Fukuya - A few of my favorite things - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Meh... todays service was so so. No "Hi, what would you like" or "Thank you". It's free and supposedly common practice for any business. I don't understand how a business owner would want to hire or keep an employee that has that type of work ethic. read more

Usually good but not today I got a large container of Broccoli Slaw, but the broccoli was bad and the apples were brown... I'm sad and disappointed. Before I saw the broccoli was bad, I found a hair in my chow mein noodles... read more

Fukuya - Broccoli Slaw... old, bad broccoli with old brown apples also. I'm sad and disappointed! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food is always good. The service is pleasant and quick. And the wait usually isn't too bad. The only tough part is the parking. But it's not a big enough deterrent to go elsewhere for okazyua. :) read more

Always enjoy going to Fukuya for Okazuya. Friendly staff & great food at a reasonable price. read more

Fukuya - Chow fun, hot dog, chicken tofu, fried chicken & misubi... da ! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Certain items were expensive and didn't tastes good. Nori chicken was good, vegetable croquette, sushi cone, and there spicy ahi poke. The furikake ahi was rubbery and hard and the spam musubis rice is also hard and the chow fun was bland. Over all to me the place is just ok there's other better okazuyas. read more

My favorite okazuya! Always miss it since I live in SF. I always gotta get a shiso musubi, Mochiko chicken, chow fun, and kimpira. I wish they had more signs on what each thing is, because I felt a bit rushed with the line and didn't wanna ask what everything was. Always leaves room to try something new though! read more

Fukuya - Okazuya plate - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I never thought I would find an okazua like back in the 60's but I was wrong. Fukuya hit it right on the dot. Portions and taste is bountiful. I was in heaven just looking at the food I ordered. Once I starting eating the okazuya memories just exploded. To top it off it smelled so heavenly. Thank you Fukuya for my Christmas blessings. read more

Fukuya gets 2 stars: one for the food, and another for taking credit card. Sounds crazy I know, let me explain. This place is a staple, probably one of, if not the most popular Okazuya in town, and for good reason. The food is very good. I would say nothing at Fukuya is bad as far as how it tastes. I love the nori chicken, chow fun, ahi patty, cone sushi, meatballs, and most of what they serve. What get's me is the portion sizes, pricing, and the long wait. Everything at Fukuya is pretty expensive for Okazuya offerings. To be full and fill a plate you will have to spend at least $20-30 per plate, which to me is crazy. Most places in town you can do the same for a lot less. The other part of going to Fukuya that gets me is the line. It's always out the door and does not move very fast. You can easily spend 30 minutes in this line, in fact I've never seen the place without a line. Which is good for business, but maybe they need to hire more staff to help the line move faster. In the end I think it's faster, cheaper, and better to drive to Gulick for Okazuya food cravings than waiting for an overpriced plate at Fukuya. read more

Really really tasty bento boxes! The a la carte option is great to customize your meal! Created my own box for my flight and food still tasted great the next day! ABSOLUTELY love that they have the old skool cone sushi! Staff if very pleasant, and price point is great for the quality! Line forms, but it moves quickly!! read more

One of my all-time favorite okazuya: awesome food, has parking and they take credit cards! My go-tos here are the rice balls (shiso and furikake), the nori wrapped chicken, hash patties and the shrimp tempura. The girl that helped me was not the friendliest, but at least I got all of the things that I needed. I even asked her for two small containers on the side and she gave me those with rubber bands for no extra charge. My total for 10 pieces was almost $20. Love that the prices are still low and the food is still delicious. I will definitely be back to try more things. Cheers to Fukuya in Moiliili! read more

It doesn't get better then this. Heaven in Hawaii Nei, the old way. This is one of those places my uncles would frequent if they lived in Hawaii. It's pure magic, old school witchcraft of the food kine, an absolute gem and one of my favorite places for any kine grind. A real bangah, we love the employees and the fast service and delicious grinds. Pono ono hunnid read more

I've been searching all of hawaii for the best poké and while I didn't come here for the poké I think I may have found my top poke. This is the BEST POKÉ I've had by a long shot. The fish is incredibly fresh and I hear the chef takes the freshness of his fish very seriously. The poké bursts with savory flavor and is creamy with plenty of tobiko that gives it an exciting texture. With all of their other delicious food, fukuya is not especially known for their poké. However I think it is their star dish and it's a shame not many know about it. MUST TRY!! read more

Fukuya - Poké - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Fukuya's has been one of those local "gems" for decades. Always confort food from the "okazuya" days. I'm sure it's hard work for the owners and chefs in their kitchen. So much variety to choose from and for some reason, all are great value and delicious. The Okazuya has been closing over the years. I just want to say thank you for feeding generations of family and frieds! read more

One of my first stops when I'm in Hawaii is Fukuya okazuya! I dropped my girls off at Hanauma Bay and drove straight to get some yummies at 7:30! I love their nori wrapped chicken, potato hash, chow fun, potato salad, and nori musibis! I would get more but then I wouldn't be able to finish it. This is one of my favorite places in Hawaii! BTW my girls saw my Facebook post and we stopped back after swimming at around noon for another round of food for me. read more

Fukuya - Nori musubi, nori fried chicken, chow fun, potato hash, macaroni salad, potato tempura - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We had been coming here weekly for a few months and just don't feel that the value is there any longer. Used to love their maki sushi rolls with tuna, but the price is ridiculous and more important, the consistency isn't there in these rolls any longer. Sometimes they are delicious and other times the rice is poorly seasoned or the rice is not fresh tasting or the tuna seasoning is off. I have discovered that the tuna rolls at 7-11 are better for our family. Fresher, tastier, and much cheaper and the the nori is crunchy and fresh since you roll right before consuming it. So, I am slowly discovering that these high prices have to have the quality and consistency to support me paying more for less and I am finding out that there are good substitutions that sometimes are a steal and a discovery. I don't think the die hard okazuya guys will care, but I eat out every day and look for quality and value. So sad to see it disappearing all through Honolulu now. read more

I used to go to Fukuya more often when I worked at UH and lived across the street. But I haven't lived in Moiliili since 2005. I decided to swing by yesterday for three bento B and I was very happy with the bentos as was my 84yo aunty and uncle. The bento included plain musubi, noodles, akule, shoyu chicken, Mac salad and nishime. They only had two pieces of shoyu chicken left so she substituted a piece of mochiko chicken for one bento. She threw in an extra piece for the inconvenience. The mixture blended well together and food was good quality. My aunt and uncle rarely finish their food these days but they both polished off these bentos and raved about how ono the food was. I got bentos the week prior from another place in Kalihi and they left half of the bento. I also got a piece of the nori chicken to munch on in the car on the way over to my aunt and uncles place in Kaneohe. It was fresh out of the fryer and nice and crisp but I preferred the mochiko chicken. Parking is a challenge and there is typically a line-up but the food is worth it. Prices have obviously gone up over the years but I'll definitely be back. May Fukuya be around for many, many more years to come. read more

Fukuya - Receipt - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The mission: find the best old school okazyua on Oahu. Japanese name, yes but purely of Hawaii origin dating back to the early 1900's plantation village days. It is a fusion of dishes and flavors of Japanese, Okinawan, Chinese, and Filipino immigrants using the make shift, limited ingredients at the time. While today there are bizarre "additions" (WTF is a hotdog maki roll) a few generations old shops keep the tradition. Stop 1: Fukuya (since 1939) Maki sushi - well compacted, not too strong, sweet vinegar rice. Well seasoned kampyo (gord), seasoned tuna, egg, cooked watercress but no dried shrimp (sub fishcake). Inari (AKA cone sushi) - sweet soy seasoned age cone, not overly wet. Well seasoned rice. Konbu maki (seasoned seaweed wrapped pork)- Well braised ingredients. Dashi konbu wrap therefore tougher. Sweet soy flavor throughout. Fried chicken - well seasoned, slightly overcooked giving it a crispy skin. Sadly, no ginger flavor. Tempura - baking powder leavened, slightly sweet, yellow food coloring added, heavy, oil sponge with slight crispness. Old school at its best. Mixed veg, sweet potato good. Shrimp will make you laugh. So much fluffy batter surrounding an overcooked, tiny shrimp. Odds and ends - Very good kimpira gobo with good sesame flavor (no spice heat), good miso black cod, horrible hash (more potato than corned beef), strange "inventions" such as nori wrapped, soy glazed fried chicken (bitter taste), bizarre hotdog maki roll (so wrong on so many levels). Quick and patient counter service willing to help the okazuya noob. Horrible parking (good luck). Does it make the grade? Kinda. The food taste like cooks not the family who grew up with the food, are following recopies causing the food to lack pure authenticity. OK with enough "modern" creative inventions to satisfy the next generation. read more

Fukuya mochi is the best! This past Friday I went to Fukuya to pick up several packs of mochi that I ordered for girls day. It's my daughter's first girls day and I guess the tradition is that you're supposed to buy mochi for your family. Ordering from them was quite easy. I told them that I needed packs for girls day and they knew what I was talking about. There were different sized packs also. They came in 3, 6, or 9. I got the nine pack. I also ordered a special one for myself. Fukuya has flavored mochi so I got some of those. I got lemon, orange, original, and melon. When I went to pick it up, it was all set for me and arranged nicely in a box. The nine packs that I bought had three pink ones, three white ones, and three green ones. The special one that I ordered also had great presentation. The taste of the mochi at Fukuya is like none other. It just melts in your mouth. The flavored mochi really tasted like the flavor. It was so delicious. I got a nine pack variety pack and my husband and I ate the whole thing that day. I kind of wish I bought more for myself... In addition to the mochi pickup, I had to get some lunch since it was lunch time. I can't ever pass up an okazuya place. I got a furikake musubi, nishime, mochiko chicken, and chow fun. All of it was so tasty. I really liked the chow fun. Possibly one of my favorites now. And the mochiko chicken had good flavor. So if you're on king street and want to check out a great mochi place and okazuya, stop by Fukuya, you won't regret it. read more

I was recommended by 2 different friends of mine to try this place and I was not disappointed! Great selection of yummy food with great prices! read more

Picked up some food for the plane ride home. A+ for being one of the only okazuya open on a Sunday! The line moves efficiently and they have plenty of selections to choose from. My favorite items here were the shiso musubi and the furikake ahi. Good, quick and easy. Just be careful because all those little items do add up!! read more

Fukuya - Furikake and Shiso Musubis - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I first reviewed Fukuya seven years ago and wanted to post an update. Having had the opportunity to check out seven other okazuyas recently to compare. Gotta say, "I STILL LOVE FUKUYA!" They're my All Time Favorite okazuya- despite the price, for convenience, parking, variety, and taste! Fukuya has a great mix of your old favorites like namasu and new items such as poke and shortbread cookies. Their vegetable tempura is the best, you can taste the veggies and crunch/taste of sugar in the tempura dough- at too many others you just taste the oil. Their offerings have a very traditional taste to them, just like how obachan used to make them. A lot of okazuyas don't open on the weekends or if they do, open later at 8 am. Fukuya is open on the weekend and weekdays at 6 am (closed Mon-Tue), perfect for picking up something for a dive or a day at the beach on the weekend. I'm pretty lucky to have a neighborhood okazuya within walking distance, I try to take advantage a couple of times a month. Definitely repeat, treat yourself and check them out! read more

Ordered some last minute beach bentos from this place including musubi, hot dogs, mochiko chicken, and egg omelette. Delicious! Nothing was like stand out "wow" but it was all top quality Okazuya food for a good price. The one thing that was bad was that they charged me for someone else's order! Good thing I checked the receipt and it was quickly fixed. The parking is limited and there is usually a line out the door. If you can, order by phone - then you can skip the line. read more

Good food, always a line out the door. Parking can be challenging since there are only a few spots. The furikake chicken is really good, but I don't think they make it everyday. read more

I'm usually very pleased with this place, but today I was not. I found hair in my cone sushi... 2 strands, 1 long black hair and a shorter white one. I hope the management reads this and has their workers use hair nets. It ruined my lunch and hopefully for the other couple of friends that I bought bentos for did not have this experience. read more

Okazuya 's in Hawaii are a dying breed and it's great to know that Fukuya has been around for quite some time now. Fukuya is located to the right of Sushi King and they have their own parking lot but not that big at all. Street parking is available but you have to feed the meter. For those of you that know how Okazuya"s work, depending on what you choose and how much you can select can definitely burn a hole in your pocket so buyer beware. It's pretty much run like a Cafeteria line where specific food items are right there for the taking and it's up to you to create your own plate to your own liking. My advice for you first timers is to go early for the best selection because in a blink of an eye so many things can run out at a fast a furious pace. My personal favorites here are the Shiso Musubi, Fried Chicken, Shrimp Tempura, Fried Noodles, and Teri Meatballs. The Ahi Poke here is very good as well but can turn your Okazuya Plate into a $ 20 plus Plate Lunch for me which can be mind blowing for some but that's why selecting the right items can determine your fate. There are a lot of selections here to choose from such as Musubi's, Sushi Rolls, they even have Bento Selections with a set price to choose from where you won't get raped like I always do. Coming hungry to an Okazuya is a very dangerous thing. You might to buy a couple of tacos at Jack in the Box before making your selections here at Fukuya Okazuya. read more

Went here for the first time in many many years and was quite hungry. When hungry at an Okazuya joint don't make the mistake of getting carried away. You need to exercise self control otherwise be prepared to pay. Came on a Friday around 11 and the place was empty. Picked what looks good and filled my plate. Maki - Typical local kind, this was my favorite. Plain musubi - I should have skipped this as I had enough food. Chow funn - again typical Okazuya style. Pretty junk and would not get again. Vegetable tempura - overwhelmingly greasy with no crunch. Other places to do it better. Green beans - zero flavor. Shoyu chicken - Horrible. Biggest gripe about shoyu chicken is when it's dry. Yup this was it. All of that for $12. Disappointed. I'd give it a 1 star but the girl helping me was so kind and friendly. Won't go back. read more

One of the last remaining old school okazuya which they have kinda revamped to be a little more up to date with the food choices. There is plenty of parking in front and next door and they do limit the amount of customers inside so there is a long line outside. I ordered the chow fun, nori chicken, cone sushi, potato patty and the spicy age tofu. I didn't care for the age tofu but it was worth a try as I love my tofu. They also sell cookies and I'm a sucker for chocolate chip cookies which was crunchy and so yummy. read more

Sometimes when you're hungry and undecided on where the heck you want to eat it maybe as simple as looking on your Yelp Mobile App, only to see that a fellow Yelp friend has just checked into Fukuya's!! (Thanks Joy N.). Fukuya Delicatessen & Catering has been in business over 75yrs and still going strong. A good variety,constant great tasty food has made Fukuya's one of the best Deli/Okazuya places in Hawaii. I came on a Sunday Morning to be greeted by friendly smiling faces and assortment of mouth watering food that all wanted to jump into my plate. I've always had a hard time deciding what I want to eat when coming to an Okazuya....How's about EVERYTHING!!! Well two plates later for $17.75 which I thought was a good deal for some "Ono" grindz. I ordered Shio Musubi,Ume Musubi,Boneless Fried Chicken,Ahi Belly,Garlic Chicken,Chow Fun,Hotdog and Pork Eggplant. Everything was exceptionally good, especially the boneless fried chicken, perfectly seasoned and crispy skin..FTW!! *Thanks Fukuya's for being there when I'm hungry! *Hours: Wednesday - Sunday 6:00am - 2:00pm. *Parking stalls in front and on King Street. read more

Quick! Off da top of your head name ten traditional okazuya in Honolulu. How about nine? How about eight? Ok you get da point. Like so many other traditional types of places to go to get your kau kau fix, there aren't too many of them left. In the University/Moiliili area the surviving and long time traditional okazuya is Fukuya. They are a class institution on King street and offer all the favorites one expects like shrimp, vegetable and potato tempura, shoyu chicken, fried chicken, nishime, mac salad, namasu, musubi, the usual suspects and a whole lot more. The place is clean, they have parking and are located right off of King street with a relatively easy dash in, dash out configuration. The counter gals are always pleasant and patient, it's like when you were a kid in a candy store and you had so many choices to choose from-grinds overload. On a recent visit I saw that they had a baked potato salad that had bacon and sour cream- yeow! But they were sold out so that's something to get next time. And the cookies. They make good cookies and you can by them by the jar. Cookie Monster would be in cookie heaven at Fukuya. So recently I ordered shrimp tempura, fried chicken, baked fish, nishime, namasu and an assorted sushi pack. The shrimp tempura was what I normally see- a shrimp of average size that tasted good. The fried chicken was classic okazuya style, nice crispy skin, soft and meaty inside. Everything ordered was pretty good except for the baked fish. Seemed like the mayo quantity they used was too much and made it seem like you were eating baked mayo with chunks of fish inside. Everything else was pretty tasty and satisfying. The pricing seems to be high and comparable pricing would be lower at other places. As Sistah Nat says, "everything adds up quickly" so choose wisely my friends or you could be taking out a second mortgage (slight exaggeration :). But for the variety of selection that is offered at Fukuya and a pretty central Honolulu location , it's no wonder they run out of many items by early afternoon on many days. Fukuya is by no means the best Okazuya in Hawaii but this Moiliili institution is always an option when hunger drives you to look for Japanese kau kau when a regular plate lunch just won't do. read more

I love places where I can control the amount of food that I buy, and Fukuya is one of them. You can create your own plate lunch with any combination of food items. Chow mein, chow fun, musubi, fish, mochiko chicken, shoyu chicken, nori chicken, assorted tempura, and all other kinds of Japanese food items. They also sell rolls of sushi - regular futomaki and their infamous bbq chicken or bbq rolls. Those sell out fast so if you want those rolls, be sure to come early (they open at 6 a.m.!). These are perfect to take on the airplane. The food is a little pricy (noodles, one piece of fish and one piece of mochiko chicken came out to around $5.50), but it was the perfect size for my lunch and the food was delicious. They also offer catering services. Remember - they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. 31 Yelps Challenge: #1/31 read more

Fukuya Okazuya, one of my favorites! Definitely the place to be at if you want not-so-breakfast food at a not-so-breakfast time. Open at 6am. Get there early because all the good options run out fast! ****Best Shoyu Pork I've had since IGES. If your looking to go back to sleep or had a long night this is the place of comfort to get to your ZzZzZs on. (Well I eat with my eyes) so of course the bed is the next best place after Okazuya. Typical Okazuya pricing, if your on budget just get 3 options. But trust me you won't only get 3 lol. #EatsWithEyes Happy Munching!!! read more

I haven't been here in a while but I love this place. This okazuya is the bomb. Yes, the prices have definitely gone up. My four item plate was almost $8 with a side order of spicy ahi for $6. The shiso musubi is my all time favorite. The first time I had it, I was in love. The flavor and aroma of it is just awesome. Their vegetable tempura is huge. I hate when I get vegetable tempera and it's soggy. The ones from this place are crispy, even though it's heavy on the batter. I bit into it and there's a slight crunch. Yay! The eggplant chicken is also good. They make it with some kind of teri sauce and the eggplant just soaks it up. The spicy ahi is a good deal. It was tasty with the right amount of spice to it. The fish was fresh and they gave a decent amount for the price. The only thing that I wasn't too fond of is the fried chicken. The skin was crispy but the meat was dry. It was definitely over fried, but at least it wasn't pink in the middle. That would have been worse. read more

Fukuya - shiso musubi, eggplant chicken, vegetable tempura, fried chicken for $8...side of spicy ahi for $6 - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love fukuya, maybe a bit too much. It was the perfect last lunch before I headed to HNL and (un)fortunately I wanted to get as much bits of home as I could in my tummy before I left da aina... resulting in me getting way too much food. Fukuya was the perfect way to say goodbye. My lunch cost me $12 (but then again, I ordered too much though). MUST HAVES: Mochiko chicken!!! (so crisp on the outside and so tender) FURIKAKE/SHISO MUSUBI Inari Gobo- it's a little spicy! Nishime (gotta love the crispy turnip) Veggie Tempura Crab cake The Teri Ahi was okay, I probably wouldn't get it again. I also probably shouldn't have gotten a hot dog, but shoyu hot dogs just call my name. My mom also likes the cucumber namasu, but since I hate cucumbers I can't say that I've even tried it. If you come around 12 you're gonna run into the lunch crowd... we were lucky we just missed it at 1130. The line was building up behind us though, phew! Don't be a fatty like me... watch out because $12 is a bit steep, but it was delicious! They also have set bentos that are probably more cost efficient if you like everything in it. Goodbye HI, I will miss you greatly and all your delicious okazuya (from Fukuya!) read more
