Takoyaki
Kyra K.

What a cozy little Japanese food gem! I used to live right down the street and never knew Hana no Sato was here. So to my surprise, when Li Y., brought us here--I was in for a treat! The restaurant's atmosphere is relaxed and casual with fun Japanese decor and pictures of the menu posted around. Gives off your neighborhood Japanese spot vibes. Seating-wise, there's a decent amount for pairs, families, or larger parties. We had a bigger group, so lots of coordination was done, which we appreciated! Recommend calling in advance if you have a bigger party. We found the service to be so kind and efficient. With a large group, they did a wonderful job managing our seating, orders, requests, and so forth. Thank you to everyone for my meal and the wonderful company! The Takoyaki was yummy and I enjoyed the Grilled Mackerel Gozen. There was so much food in the gozen, I was so stuffed and needed a takeout box. I rarely get saba shioyaki so it was a nice change, I loved how rich, smoky, and slightly salty it was. I also enjoyed the other sides like the chawanmushi! Everything tasted good and it was nice to have a variety. I'd recommend the gozen to all! Hana no Sato was a superb destination of choice. Thank you to Li Y. for organizing this great meal and it was lovely to reunite but also meet so many others. I'd recommend this spot for those who want a comforting Japanese meal. The restaurant is off S King St. with street parking or parking in their lot.

Shio Ramen
Toan D.

Nothing fancy--just solid, tasty Japanese home cooking. The kind of meal you'd get from your grandma, not a celebrity chef. Super warm friendly service too. Chill vibe with about 10 tables,. I've been a couple of times lately and really liked the Saba and Shio Ramen. For a small spot, the menu's got a lot going on--ramen, udon, curry, bentos, all the usual suspects and more. Prices are super reasonable, but with how busy they're getting, that might not last forever. They don't serve alcohol, but you can bring your own. Parking's metered on King Street--just watch out for the no-parking window between 3:30-6 p.m. on weekdays (always check the signs). Happy Eating!!

I love this place! Been coming here for years and it never disappoints. We'll only when it's too crowded lol One of the best grilled Salmon bentos/teishoku I have had and you can't beat their prices for Japanese food. The server lady always has a smile for you even when it's crazy busy and she's running around non stop. The customers are always pretty patient and maybe the byob action helps. It's a no frills decor place with tasteful light decorations. It's the pictures of the food I'm interested in!

Eel bowl
Bryan W.

Great place for a Yelp get together! I had the saba bento which was delicious. It came with rice, miso soup or salad, macaroni salad, gobo and carrots, tsukemono, half a boiled egg and two gyoza. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sides added a tasty variety. Excellent service as well.

Food was great. Had tofu, chicken, sushi, taegu salad, gyoza , tempura ...all great. Service was A+. Toshiko was awesome! Place is small so be sure to make reservations or risk being turned away

Poke bowl
Jenna E.

Really homey, local, Japanese food at a great price. We tried to drop in on a Friday night and the restaurant was completely full. We didn't have a reservation, but we were told we could come back in around 20 mins to get a table! I would definitely recommend making a reservation since the restaurant is quite small and is popular :). When we came back we were immediately seated and the lady running the restaurant took our order pretty quickly. We ordered the chicken karaage, ahi poke bowl, gyoza and agedashi tofu. Both entrees also came with miso soup. My favorites from what we ordered were the agedashi tofu and the fresh poke. I could tell the ahi was really fresh on my poke bowl! Next time I come back I want to try the hand rolls and the udon! 10/10 neighborhood gem.

Dessert anyone ;-D
Li Y.

Having a craving for some good ole comfort Japanese or Okinawan food. Stopped by here after suggestions from multiple persons. Now stop by regularly whenever I am getting that craving. Love this casual, neighborhood restaurant. Come as you are. Have tried many of the dishes here. Usually gravitate to the goya champuru. Sometimes some takoyaki or grilled fish. Almost always get the complete gozen set. Service always friendly and efficient. Parking is easier on weekends or evenings (Saturday and Sunday) when the meters are free and right infront of the restaurant. There is also a parking lot with entrance BEFORE the restaurant. Lot does fill up at peak meal times as sharing with a few other eateries. So, best to go earlier!

Tan tan ramen
Sheila A.

Liked it so much the first time we went we had to go back and try more things. Everything is still very good. It was a little busier tonight than it was the first time we came here but the service was still friendly and efficient and the place never got too noisy.

Today I got to try the Hana No Sato GOZEN and it was very tasty and they gave a lot. The service was very friendly and helpful.

Mabo tofu ramen
Lyn L.

Wow! It was a very busy night! The restaurant was packed (3 large parties) and only one server. I think because it was so busy, it was very noisy. She's was very nice and pleasant and certainly did her best to accommodate everyone The food was reasonably priced and ok. The chirashi bowl was only $19 but my husband thought, not enough fish. Maybe next time get the platter. The tempura platter was ok, but next time get just the shrimp tempura and I thought the Mabo tofu ramen was too oily so next time get a different ramen. If the lady hadn't been so nice I probably wouldn't consider trying again. We found parking in the street, but they say there's 8 stalls in the back. Dinner, including trip was $60 for 2 of us I'd give them another try.

Tonkotsu ramen Gyoza Vegetable Tempura
Kuki O.

Sunday, lunch... found street parking... Took mom to Hana No Sato. Moms 1st time there... Told her this is where the salmon bento came from. So, she looked over the menu... Yummers Tonkatsu Ramen, Gyoza and Vegetable Tempura bowl. Noodles were perfect, soft and NOT chewy kine. Lots of soup.. yummmm The Veggie Tempura changes, due to what's available... but it's STILL GOOD! the Ambiance is good... friendly staff as usual, the chef was "checking out" the scenery outside... take a small break. Love it.

I feel I need to update this review as it has been 7 years! My family and I still come to this…read moreramen shop and we come here once a month! My daughter and I like to order the Shiro Wagaya Ramen and my husband loves the Garlic Wagaya (Kuro) ramen. We also like to order the corn tempura as an appetizer. The restaurant itself is not so big but fits quite a good amount of people. The workers are very friendly and accommodating. You can also order your food through a QR code and pay online when you're done. There are also restrooms onsite. Parking is still small and can fill up when it's busy (you also aren't allowed to park in the Church parking lot) If you haven't eaten here before, I would suggest looking on their website at the waitlist to see how many people are on there prior to going there as they can get really busy. You can also put your name on the waitlist online so you don't have to do it on site. They have a really good text messaging system letting you know when your table is almost ready.

Great for authentic ramen and tsukamen with a small, the intimate ramen shop appeal. I've seen…read moreWagaya on TikTok a lot recently and was happy that I put this on my list of places to visit while on the island. The appetizers were pretty good. I enjoyed the sweet and savory flavor of the agedashi tofu but was a little underwhelmed with the ahi belly. I was excepting a slightly fattier cut of fish and wasn't anticipating onion on the skewer and felt it didn't pair well with the fish (personally). I'll definitely be back!

The most impressive part of the night was the reaction from my two daughters. They are typically very picky eaters, but they completely devoured the Tokyo Chicken ramen. My wife and I were just as impressed with our Spicy Tonkatsu and regular Tonkatsu bowls. The broth was remarkably rich and packed with complex flavors, while the chashu was a savory burst in every single bite. I live right near Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and have very high standards for what makes a good bowl of ramen, so I was honestly blown away by the quality here. The kids were so into the food that we even decided to grab an order of chicken karaage to go. The service was exceptionally attentive and the staff went out of their way to ensure our family had everything we needed. The ambiance was also fantastic and added to the overall experience. Regarding parking, it can be tough in Waikiki, but we found a convenient public garage right next to the hotel where the restaurant is located. This spot is a must-visit for anyone looking for top-tier ramen in Honolulu.

Walking is suggested and the primary mode of transportation while in Waikīkī. Must-Do: Sticky Ribs (say yes to the side of rice, thank me later) Ahi Tacos Tonkatsu Ramen Karaage (kids love it too) Sashimi (Hamachi is very nice cut) During different times of the day, you may encounter some wait time to be seated. You'll add yourself to the list. Varying from 20 minutes up to 45 minutes for a party of 4 or more. If you are patient, your tastebuds will certainly be rewarded. Consistency is key and Momosan puts this to practice day in day out. Attentive service, delicious food, great quality and a comfortable cozy dining experience. Outdoor seating allows you to enjoy the beauty of Waikiki beach. 8 years ago I brought my wife to our first taste of Momosan on a date, we were blown away by the flavors, freshness and quality of the ramen, the sashimi and the incomparable Sticky Ribs. Each and every visit has never failed to impress us still. To this day my kids now 12 am 14 years old, have added Momosan to their list of favorite restaurants.
