Walking in they have freezers full of soda, water, and beer. They have a small kitchen for hot food bowls if you are hungry. My sister and I split a salad and a soda. We spent about $15. pretty decent and compared to what the resorts are charging for a soda inside. This is a hidden gem outside. But the salad was big enough for two people. It was nice. I would definitely come back.

I love being able to grab my own banchan and sauces. Our server, "Kai", was very attentive and helpful to my family and I.

Most of the time, the shrimps at most restaurants are spoiled without them knowing, but these shrimps were great! Great place for a group dining or with friends and family that doesn't mind the "pub" vibe and lively atmosphere. Inside is a bit warm because of all the grills so I'd dress light. The restaurant playlist had so many throwback songs so we loved that too hahaha Will bring back more friends next time!

I'm not sure what happened to my original review when I tried this spot 2 years ago but this update…read morewas well deserved! During both visits, the employees were so accommodating. Even with a decent amount of seating, there is minimal space so they ask that you leave your strollers outside. When we called the first time saying our daughter was asleep they arranged everything in order to fit the stroller inside. The second visit, I had an even bigger stroller because it was a double stroller for my daughter and son. When I said my son was asleep they again, quickly tried to arrange space for the stroller until we realized he woke up. I truly appreciate them being so welcoming because I've come across many establishments that are not especially towards kids. As for the food, the first time the tonkatsu was a miss for me. I was comparing it to a popular spot on the island that books out months in advance that I tried just before my first visit here and it just seemed a lot more oily and not as tender. We were actually going to eat at the other business again but with two kids and walking non stop on our trip already, I was so happy we had an option closer to us. Both times, we were coming from Hilton Hawaiian Village. They have the cutest car bento boxes for the kids, and they let you choose the car color. My daughter loved the mini umbrella that came with her plate. My son was days before turning 1 year old so a lot of things ended up on the floor and even then, they were so kind about it. The best thing though for my husband and I AND my son, was the loco moco which we were told was limited and a new item for dinner since it was primarily only served as a lunch option? The flavor of the gravy alone was sooo good and rich. My son ended up eating my whole portion of rice and gravy with no crumbs left behind or on the floor lol. The other katsu items we ordered were nice and lightly coated and were not heavily oily at all. The only thing that I felt lacked was their curry especially in comparison to their gravy. I would definitely recommend coming here and I can't wait to come back. That was one of our favorite new dishes this trip and we come every year!

Such a great tonkatsu experience as if I was in Kyoto on a quick trip. The restaurant flavors felt…read morevery traditional and genuinely Japanese in the best way. I got the pork loin with shrimp combo (the mixed portion instead of the large), and everything was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. One of my favorite parts was grinding the sesame seeds myself in the little ceramic bowl with the wooden grinder, then mixing in the tonkatsu sauce. It made the whole meal feel interactive and intentional, and the sauce was SO good on the pork loin. I also ended up getting a refill of the cabbage because the sesame dressing they served with it was honestly addictive. I went around 8 PM to avoid the dinner rush and was pleasantly surprised I got a table pretty easily. Taking my time with the smaller mixed portion made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable instead of rushed. Overall, really delicious food, great atmosphere, and one of my favorite meals I've had in Waikiki so far. Pictured are the before and after of my dish. Probably a better "go with friends place" than a date.

Some of the offerings are: From the bakery: scones, muffins, bread puddings, cookies, cupcakes, bread, pies, and mochi desserts! The selections vary day to day. I highly recommend the banana-chocolate chip muffins, the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and the scones. If there's fried poi mochi you better jump on that! From the kitchen: the breakfast specials are always on point. Buttermilk pancakes and breakfast crostinis are really quite delightful. I generally go with the fried rice loco moco because it's so filling. Bacon seems to be very popular in this place so make sure you leave room for that! Special events are great! The Table has themed gatherings that are invite-only and the food is plentiful (as well as the laughs). So far there's been a taco bar, a breakfast bar, and one day we had freshly made Rosemary lemon garlic focaccia bread with a spread of the Italian meats and cheeses. The only thing missing was the vino! I understand that The Table is working on their liquor license and they don't recommend BYOB yet as there are some restrictions based on the location. I love this place. Highly recommended!

Coming to Hawaii I was nervous about potentially limited vegan options. During a walk we stumbled…read moreacross this place and were completely shocked by the popularity and pricing of this restaurant! We noticed that they had a dedicated vegan option; a TanTan Udon, that contained a creamy & spicy sesame broth with boiled vegetables, (cabbage, broccoli & carrots) green onions, crispy fried onions, as well as a plant based soy meat crumble. Decided to head inside and it was set up almost as a cafeteria-like station, by getting your tray and asking which item you want by the numbering system listed on the screen. They also have self serve tempura options, however, I could not get a clear answer on whether or not the vegetable options of tempura were vegan friendly. They did not have the soy meat crumbles when I ordered, to which they offered the aburaage option, which is fried sweet tofu. So just keep in mind of that when visiting. The service was great, very kind and swift especially with constant customers. The ambiance was busy, lively, & fast paced with the amount of people going in and out. There is quite a bit of seating inside as well as outside. So all in all, just give this spot a try and you won't regret it.

They had such a wonderful selection of appetizers and entrees covering all parts of the world from Mediterranean to Asian dishes with local ingredients! I had paté, beef Wellington, kanpachi and ahi and seafood in white dashi. And their desserts (no pics as I got mine to go) - you must not miss selecting something from their cakes, tarts, pies and cookies! Prices are very reasonable as the students are learning in this live restaurant environment to serve and cook (I did something similar in San Francisco, it's not easy!). My meals averaged $48 (there is no tipping but there is a donation box at the door - don't forget!). Mahalo nui loa, KCC Culinary Arts! We enjoyed our meals!
