Gyotaku delivers straight-ahead, local Japanese fare, e.g. zaru soba, various bento with different protein options, e.g. salmon, butterfish, teri chicken, California roll, sashmi. Simply put, it's a family-friendly restaurant with familiar flavors, ample dedicated parking that wraps around the restaurant's perimeter, easy access to the downstairs area if you have elderly family members, and good value, especially if you can take advantage of the senior menu. (If you are frugal, be aware that on holidays, the usual reduced price menu specials don't apply.) It's also very easy to make reservations for smaller parties, either online or via phone. Meals generally come complete, unless notes: miso soup, tossed salad with a piece of imitation crab surimi, and your entree. I personally like their combination bento option with teri chicken, fresh and crisp shrimp and veg tempura, and California roll. DJ was our waiter for the past few visits, and he's always personable, attentive, and kind. The restaurant layout and ambiance is adequate but could be better: narrow, crowded entranceway near the hostess stand which is not disability-friendly. Incoming/outgoing customers have to jostle for position with the steady stream of takeout customers, tight passageways between tables, especially for seniors with walkers/wheelchairs. The black painted plywood privacy dividers between booths also feel slapdash. Customer service could be MUCH improved, especially given the number of families with elderly parents, since the passageways are crowded, and there's a serious lack of seating for waiting customers: 2 two-person concrete benches outside and a chair by the hostess stand. On our last visit, we were 10-12 minutes early, and the rest of our party had not arrived yet. Our host informed us that even though our table was ready to go (and obviously, there was no way that they'd be serving another customer at said table in the 10 minutes prior to our 11:30 AM reservation), my 91 year old parent could not be seated at our table, otherwise they'd start our 90 minute dining clock. The host brusquely underscored that this is Gyotaku's policy: no exceptions! To speak plainly, in local parlance: NO MAKE SENSE and so NOT Hawai`i-style! This encounter really left an unpleasantly sour note on our dining experience. Given the high population of elderly customers, Gyotaku's management, please seriously consider changing your draconian seating policy and treat customers with kindness, empathy, and aloha. We share a interest in the success of your business, and an adjustment to your seating policy would be a meaningful gesture of good will. Mahalo for considering! read more

Gyotaku - Combination bento: Teri chicken, tempura, assorted sushi - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Came with a large group and they were very accommodating. Of course made reservations and good to note. They have a 90 minute seating as the place is popular and gets busy. The inside is quaint and the service is fast and friendly. They have some good lunch specials. I love that the tempura was crispy, but not oily. An overall positive experience for all of us. read more

Excellent Japanese food and they have all kinds of specials at different times of the day! My favorite is the 2:00-4:30pm happy hour when several Sashimi platters and other dishes are discounted. They also have early bird specials for dinner somewhere in the 5:00 to 6:00pm slot, I think -- check the Yelp listing or Gyotaku website for details. Finally, after going there four weeks in a row, the staff are so kond amd sincere that I feel like I am on a first name basis with manager Brian and wait staff DJ, Penny, Sandy, and Han! Food quality, customer service, reasonable prices deserve 4 stars, which is the highest rating that I'd give at this price point. Sure there are 5 star rated Japanese restaurants, but in my book, you will have to pay double the price! The Gyotaku menu is diverse and priced reasonably! read more

Always a favorite place to eat. The peak meal times are usually busy but the service is fast that waits aren't too bad. Love their daily deals. Sashimi is always super fresh, melts in your mouth. Tempura always crispy. Kids enjoy the Keiki meals that have a decent amount of food and dessert. read more

I came here with some friends last minute. We shared some sushi rolls for appetizer. They were made quick and tasted great. Then I got some chicken katsu curry and it was great. It had just the right amount of spice. There's a good bit of parking and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Gyotaku - Chicken katsu curry and rice - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We went here on our holiday because we wanted to get away from our hotel area. This restaurant is super casual and the food was good. Ambience: The ambience is super casual (don't expect fancy-- it is OK not great). Service: The service was good and courteous Food: the food was good quality and well priced. Here is what we ordered. - Spicy Tuna Roll: These were tasty -- okay to order - Midori Roll: My wife got this and it looked very pretty and she said it was good. - Tempura Combo: My younger son got this with with the salmon and he said it was good. - Chicken Katsu with rice: My older son got this and finished it -- this is a high bar as he is super picky! We all got the miso soup and salad an that was good -- the ginger dressing was tasty! I would recommend this if you want Japanese food on the cheaper side and no frills. read more

"The Mccully location experience" This location has been a long standing location for good Japanese style grinds. We most recently went Christmas eve to enjoy a holiday dinner this year. On that night they had a special quadruple combo entree that included tempura, teri- short ribs, butterfish and ahi sashimi . Along with rice and a salad as well as tea, it was a lot tasty food. We enjoyed it and it made for a great holiday feast. As busy as it was eating in the restaurant, the staff were friendly and efficient as always. Always worth considering. read more

Gyotaku - The holiday special, Christmas eve 2025. - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

A good casual place to meet friends during the holiday or anytime. We had the first sectioned off area upstairs for our get together with hub's credit union board of directors from years ago. Nice reunion during the holiday season. We had a really sharp and efficient server who took care of our table of 11. One came down with COVID visiting Japan. She handled the bill distribution and collection well. Everyone chose what they wanted to eat, no preset menu which was nice. Those with left overs were given take home containers. My udon and tempura were delicious and just the right size. Beware the green pepper I thought it was a shishito pepper- surprise- it wasn't. Napkin to the rescue. It's okay to say Merry Christmas now. read more

Gyotaku is a great go-to spot for Japanese food. If you're looking for a deal then checkout their Senior or Happy Hour menu. We ate their agadashi tofu and sushi roll to start. Tonkatsu and Chirashi bowl as entrée. We had tempura as a add-on too. Too much food so we passed on dessert this time. No frill interior. Lots of free parking. Friendly service. Best to make reservations because they always seem busy. read more

Saturday early Dinner. Got seated upstairs. 430pm. Not busy. Server Choon Han. Water, utensils, order taken. Tossed salad and miso soup came fast.

Due to the service, left a minimum tip. Could hear Server complaining to other coworkers in back room. Note: Rewards program. Download Hearland Guest appl. Need to register online.

Gyotaku is a traditional Japanese art form of "fish rubbing" that uses an inked fish and rice paper to create a detailed, life-like print. Originally developed by fishermen in the 1800's to document their catches, it is now a popular art form used to record the size, type, and beauty of aquatic life. Gyo = "fish" and taku = "stone impression." Hence, the meaning of Gyotaku Japanese Restaurants on Oahu, with this art form displayed on their walls. Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant, known for authentic Japanese cuisine, first opened in McCully in 2001 by owners Tom Jones and Nobutaka "Tony" Sato. Tom Jones has been in the restaurant industry from a young age, trained as a sushi chef in Japan, worked for one of the largest sushi restaurants in Japan, and sent to HI to be Exec Chef at their Waikiki restaurants. The owners opened a 2nd location in Pearl City around 2005, followed by a 3rd location in Niu Valley in 2008. While all 3 locations have similar menus, this review is for the Gyotaku location in McCully. Gyotaku is a casual, family-friendly restaurant that offers an extensive menu of Japanese specialties, such as appetizers, salads, sushi rolls, nigiri, noodles, curries, steaks, katsu, teishoku, and desserts and appear to be pricey from $20 to $40. They do offer discounted meals; however, many of the specials are for certain days of the week, so pay attention to the days of the week and times. Their discounted meals include: * Senior menu of teri chicken, tempura, nishime, sashimi, teri salmon, teri short rib and butterfish from $13 to $17. Portions appear to be smaller to adapt to seniors' reduced appetite. * Weekday lunch specials. Available Mon to Fri from 11a to 2p only. They include oyako, tempura, and yakitori donburis with choice of tempura, and tempura udon from $15 to $20. * Daily lunch specials. Available from 11a to 2p weekdays and weekends. CA delight, lunch box, combo bento from $16 to $23. * Dine-in weekly deals. Usually a % off of certain dishes that are posted in the restaurant. * Happy hour appetizers. 20% off of liquor and up to 40% off of appetizers available daily from 2p to 4:30p. * Dinner early bird specials from Wed to Fri only 4p to 6p for bento box with choices for $19.95. * Kids eat free on Mon and Tues nights only from 4p. * Keiki menu of teri or karaage chicken, tempura, sushi, and tempura udon at $11. We ordered the following from the weekday lunch specials: * Tempura udon. Udon in a piping hot broth topped with kamaboko, wakame, and green onions. Served with shrimp and vegetable tempura (eggplant, sweet potato, nori, shishito pepper, fishcake) on the side. The tempura was light and crunchy, while the udon appeared to be a little mushy in a flavorful broth. * Oyako donburi. Hubby's order of chicken simmered with round onions in sweet shoyu broth and steamed with lightly beaten eggs over rice and topped with green onions and nori, which was delicious! Served with miso soup that was piping hot with wakame and tofu, the miso soup was flavorful. Also served with tossed salad that had shredded carrots, cucumber slices, a large chunk of imitation crab and served with a tart and delicious wafu dressing. At one time, Gyotaku used to offer a delicious katsudon, but is no longer on the menu and wish that they would bring it back. Our server promptly took our orders and was not very friendly. Other staff members who refilled our water glasses and cleared our dishes were much friendlier than our server, who appeared to be doing her job via memorization and rote rather than serving us on a personal basis. At the end of our meal, I saw other diners being served hot tea and had forgotten that it was complimentary and on request, but our server did not offer this to us. There are 2 levels of spacious dining areas. The first level is primarily used for senior citizens and those who have mobility issues using a walker or wheelchair, as the 2nd level is accessible by a stairway only. The 2nd level is normally used by larger groups or for special events and parties. Japanese décor and gyotaku art adorn the walls. As we arrived when the restaurant opened for lunch, there was a lot of available parking in its private lot, but they were quickly taken as it got closer to noon. Spaces are tight. Metered street parking is also available. Located next to Times Supermarket in McCully. Hours of operation are daily from 11a to 8p. Great restaurant for locals of all ages with excellent food quality and prompt efficient service make this a popular place for authentic Japanese cuisine! read more

Today's lunch was an enjoyable one. 4/26/25. We were seated quickly for our late lunch @1:45 pm. Our server promptly came to our table and asked us if we wanted anything to drink. We were quickly provided iced water and later hot tea. Our order was timely taken by our server. Our bill was given to us timely. We didn't feel rushed or abandoned lol. We ordered the shrimp tempura lunch (4 pieces of Shrimp, 1 piece eggplant, 2 pieces sweet potato, 2 string green beans) and Ninja Don (Spicy tuna, sushi rice, avocado and green onions). Both meals included a salad, miso soup with kelp, brown rice or sushi rice). The portions of food are ample. My shrimp tempura was served hot and fresh. The Ninja Don sauce and sushi rice were way too sweet for my taste buds. The salad is my favorite. The dressing is tasty and flavorful. The imitation crab piece is a nice touch. The miso and kelp soup is comforting and simple in taste. Overall food today: 4/5 stars. Overall Service: 5/5. Our server checked on us consistently and another server refilled our water and tea. Both had the perfect personalities. Table cleared promptly of empty and used dishes. Overall Ambiance: 3.5/5 stars: The restaurant decor, as previously noted in an older review, is dated. The booths and furniture are also dated. But in the current times, such costs would probably not be worth it. read more

Expect well prepared Japanese food and gracious service at Gyotaku! Located on South King Street past Times McCully, Gyotaku is a dining experience appreciated by many friends. It certainly helps that parking is readily available in their dedicated lot. At the most recent visit for a birthday celebration, server Mikey was very helpful to my dining mates. There's an extensive menu which can make choosing difficult because everything so enticing. Just note there is a 90 minute dining limit. This is sufficient time to enjoy your meal. read more

Gyotaku - Crunchy Tenpura Roll & Pokecho - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Gosh, I haven't been here in years but the food and service is great! We got the Butterfish off the senior menu that comes with a salad and miso soup. Everything tasted great but I only wished my butterfish had less bones in it. We also ordered the Caterpillar Roll (new addition to the menu) and it was awesome! For dessert, we each ordered the green tea shave ice with Azuki Beans and Ice Cream - a winner! The menu has been updated with new items and there are specials during different weeks and they have happy hour and senior discounts. The interior looks dated but it's clean and a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. No loud music playing so you can have a nice conversation. Great place to take a date or your elderly parents to. The service was great. Our food came out pretty quickly probably because we came around 3:30 on a Friday so it wasn't busy yet and there was plenty of parking. Our server was friendly, polite and efficient. She repeated our order to make sure everything was correct and when the sushi roll was delayed she asked us if was ok to bring out the main entree first. She checked on us a few times and offered us hot green tea to warm us up after our shave ice dessert. Yes, definitely will be back! read more

This is a follow up to review last month. Happy hour is 2:00-5:30pm with 20% off beer/wine and 40% off pupu! Lucky to have Brandon as our server again- and again, he's professional, efficient, pleasant. Same for the young man who is the host who welcomes us with a smile. The busser is very efficient and brought us waters right away and clear plates, bowls like a silent ninja. Food is always great here, perfectly prepped chicken, yummy salad, savory hot miso, and the gobo has a decidedly smoky flavor this time which we really loved. Their draft Asahi is always cold and delicious! Atmosphere is pleasant and parking has been easier to find if you come early, starts to fill up around 6:00 pm. Upon leaving, we also had a nice thank you from the manager, a pretty young lady, who is always busy helping out but still finds time to thank the guests. read more

We were greeted by host...very friendly. Waitress was an acquaintance outside the restaurant and excited to serve us. Nattochos was our appetizer filled with lots of crunchy fresh texture tortillas, firm poki mix, onions, creamy avocado, micro greens, thin nori...such a merriment of flavors in each bite! It does have a slight kick, but not overbearing which allows us to take in the many flavors... Mini salad had a sweet dressing over lettuce, fish cake, slivers of carrots, and welcome this along with the Nattochos. A great accompaniment with the Nattochos. However, the miso soup adds that slight saltiness with seaweed and tofu. All were unbelievable combination which everyone should try. My main dish was a combo of tempura, Nishime, and miso salmon. I was in heaven! The eggplant tempura really soaked up the tempura sauce which hit my palate along with the Nishime. The salmon had the intended miso flavor. This combo was $34.95 which came with soup and salad. For me, it's worth treating yourself! Come on down! Ciao!!!! read more

Wife and I eat here (Pearl City) a lot. We enjoy the food and service but have comment with the accomodations. The seating area, thin seating cushion so can feel the spring. Last night, noticed other table customer requested to move since their cushion had hole. Anyway, my primary concern/complaint is with the serving dishes. Many times, they have chips in their soup container or main dish bowls. Past, we did not complain since it was minor. But last night, one of our dish was in a cracked tray (ordered "Early Bird")? Not a small crack, but practically cracked in half. Took photo but unable to attach to my comment section. For a restaurant like Gyotaku, management should take note of their serving bowls/dishes with chips and cracks. Also, kitchen staff should be able to easily note the damage and dispose or set it aside. Why use it and take it out to the customer? read more

Baby-Mommy Date Night. Early dinner for baby... Food was pretty good. I got her kid's meal...I typically don't and just overorder so we can share. I should have done that since the kid's meal did not impress baby. She so spoiled I think so! I got the soft shell crab meal...not bad. I like the cabbage instead of rice option. The cabbage is so nice and cold...so good. What was really good was the service. From the person who took my call to make a reservation, to the Hostess, to the Bus/Wait Staff. Everyone friendly, so polite, so helpful. You really can find good staff...they are just at Gyotaku. read more

Gyotaku delivers a solid, well-rounded dinner experience. The ribeye was perfectly grilled with a great sear--juicy, flavorful, and simply prepared so the quality of the meat stands out. The sushi was equally impressive: fresh ingredients, clean cuts, and a well-balanced combination of flavors and textures. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, making it a great spot for a laid-back dinner. Everything felt consistent and intentional from start to finish. Definitely a place I'd return to. read more

Havent eaten here in awhile but my 80 yr old uncle cant drive to pearl city we'll never eat here again! we split the salmon skin salad. Salmon skin was BURNT (koge)!!not even palatable for me but uncle was hungry! it was salmon CHARCOAL! was so charred it blended in with the black plate! and the waitress had Zero personality!! I hate restaurants that the cooks watch the diners eat their crappy or tainted food and hang out in the dining area. 2-stars because the bus boy had a little personality and the gyoza was not bad. luckily my uncle paid cuz would be minimal if any tip from me!!! gyotakus used to be our family go to restaurants for birthdays & celebrations but the service and quality of food has declined and notice they hire alot of young kids now, like fast food restaurants. if you want good japanese food and service try kunios or teishoku! read more

Lunch with a friend... Thank you Terry for the suggestion as I've received many flyers offers for both dine in and take out services and always kept them in mind since it's in a convenient area of McCully with lots of free parking. Gyotaku Japanese restaurant is enjoyed by many locals and for great reasons and luckily upon arrival we didn't have to wait long to be seated regardless of the seeming full restaurant which was a lively vibe. We got a nice corner seating and as I scanned their menu seeing such great variety with everything from salads to teishoku including a "Senior Menu" which is available all day every day...love and since we made it perfectly in time for their lunch specials which was just hard to resist it's reasonable price. I got the Yakitori Donburi, and first of all let me tell you that it came in a large saimin bowl...super huge portion so not what I expected ordering from the lunch special selection. Lots of tender chicken seasoned just right and just know that it also comes with salad and miso soup. Service was nice as they keep checking up on us and kept my water full, it's just nice to find a place that offers such variety choices of items that includes salad and soup which was just a refreshing break. Thank you! read more

Although there is a 90 minute dine in limit there are tables available after a short wait. Gyotaku is a great gathering place for large groups with a screened off area or a private room upstairs. Bathrooms on each floor. The menu is extensive from assorted sushi to box lunches to a Senior menu to Special's. Children's menu with a toy from the Treasure Box and Origami paper with instructions to keep them busy. From an extensive menu with colorful pictures showing what you will be eating. Specials of the week. Desserts with special shave ice flavors. Last week'sp shave ice flavor was White Rabbit this week it's Lilikoi. Liquor menu from wine to beer. I'm a non-alcoholic so my favorite is the ice tea & a lemon with ginger syrup. A cup of ginger syrup in a tiny cup so you can pour as much as you want in if the ginger taste is too strong. I use the entire cup as Ginger will keep me young Every time I go I'll try something new with that extensive menu plus everyone in the group can choose their favorites. If you pay with a credit card there will be a 3% service charge. Pay cash there is No fee. read more

Wanted to re-try this place and it was a tad better than the last time, but service is still lacking. They tried to seat us upstair bc we look younger and could climb the stairs, but it is so bleak upstairs that we came back down and incurred the wrath of the host who gave us stink eye after that as we got seated next to the take-out stand. Portions were tiny for early bird, but the short ribs were actually tender and the bento was enough for me. Hubby didn't have enough to eat with the early bird portions. Might be back. read more

We got there early just as they opened at 11am so lots of parking. Nothing has changed since I've been there last which was about several months ago. The ambiance was the same with the same pictures up on the wall. I think they should do a small face lift on this place soon. Kinda dingy feeling. What hasn't changed is the service which has always been great. Super nice servers and always on top of their game. Another thing that hasn't changed is the taste which is always consistently good. I noticed that the price from the last time we were here has gone up (has it been that long?!?). $$$ The price is why I gave them a four star but over all always a pleasure dining here. read more

Father's Day 2026. I can understand a selection from the senior menu having smaller portions but the senior teri chicken was a single boneless chicken thigh maybe 1" x 3". Luckily we also had the 5 pc fried oyster appetizer which was good. Maybe this made them feel justified in the portion size of the teri chicken? Was very disappointed and honestly this business should be ashamed. In the past their pork tofu special was very good. Hit or miss with this business. Reality, don't expect everyone in your party to be happy with their order. Haven't been to Kuni's in years and don't know how they are now but maybe the drive out there might be worth it. read more
