Prepackaged sushi
Niki R.

Fantastic Asian supermarket on the second floor of the international marketplace. They have Ramen and Wagyu and everything that you might want from an Asian market. Both fresh to take home and cook as well as pre-cooked and to eat there as a meal. We wanted something quick and healthy after our intense morning of hiking and we bought this sushi box to share which had a really great selection of sushi for just under $25

We love Mitsuwa. We come here every time we're in the area. They have a variety of good eats and easy to grab items. They also have a wide selection of drinks. There's two restaurants you can get hot foods from. There's a bunch of gacha machines you can get little toys from (though it's quite pricey). Sometimes the lines can get long depending on the time of day you're there, but the service is usually pretty fast, so even long lines are not too tedious. This was not our first time here and definitely won't be our last.

Jubes!

Japanese market located in International Market place. Decent selection ton of freshly prepared foods, a few food vendors & a small section for quick dining. Aisles are small but they packs. Punch with the options. Found a few items here that I don't normally see another Japanese markets. Prices are comparable to others. Clean store. Friendly service. Bags cost $0.65 vs the norm of $0.15 that I'm used to at other locations.

Mitsuwa is a MUST! We don't have a Mitsuwa Marketplace in Atlanta so I of course made sure to stop by while exploring the International Marketplace in Waikiki. It's a bit smaller than I imagined it would be but it has the essentials. I was more interested in the prepared foods (aka the sandos, bentos and sushi) than the grocery section but it was still nice to see the selection of Japanese snacks and such. I loved the egg sandwich that i picked up for a quick and easy lunch. There is also a small food court in the back that now houses a small (but well known) Go Go Curry that used to be a Modo mochi donut shop when I visited in 2022. I loved Modo so it's sad to see they didn't make it - hope Go Go Curry does better - it seemed very busy when we were shopping. If you need Japanese snacks and goods quick, Mitsuwa would be your best bet!

SELECTION -- Surprisingly carries many Japanese and Korean cosmetic brands that are popular on Tiktok (rom&nd, KISSME HEROINE, Peripera, etc). There's at least one aisle that's dedicated to cosmetics (makeup and skincare). I was kind of expecting more from this shop. I wish they had a bigger tea selection. SERVICE -- They offer a small discount when you show them a Hawaii state ID. Cashiers are friendly and efficient. AMBIANCE -- I find that the shop is very grey in hues. It feels a bit dull tbh.

Wonderful place for a quick meals . The seating area is nicely decorated with AC . Ramen Taiga and Go!Go ! CURRY are inside plus a Omusubi shop for many different kinds of food . Mitsuwa market has its own cooked food like grilled mackerel fish , sushi & sashimi, boiled octopus, oyster roll , salmon , octopus salad , sandwiches, desserts . There is a microwave inside the food court . You can heat up the food if you like . All the food items are very fresh , delicious and prices are very reasonable compared to other places . Highly recommended!

A cute, clean, and spacious market in International Marketplace. Mitsuwa is located at the top level in the corner near Magnolia. The market has some food stands inside like a curry spot, along with more grab-and-go items. There are also other items inside, such as toys. There is a section of toys called a Gashapon Stand. The food items looked good but they did seem a bit pricey. We ended up getting a musubi from a stand inside the marketplace that seemed to make them there. We got the mentaiko musubi, which ended up being about $5. This seemed like a bit much, but it was a good musubi. The rice was good, and the flavor was as well. The woman working was very sweet and waited for us to decide. While it was a bit pricey for me and International Marketplace can be as well, it was a nice market.

Located at the International Market Place, this Mitsuwa takes up 1 floor and is pretty small. The items are well-organized, but they are definitely limited in their selections - their snack area as well as their stationery corner is seriously lacking. Their food court in the back seems to be a popular spot to pick up items to go, such as their onigiri. The line at the cashier moves pretty quickly and efficiently. +limited selections +efficient checkout line +located at the International Market Place

The Mitsuwa Marketplace is a must visit when staying in the Waikiki, Honolulu area. We always find some international treats or beverages at this Japanese grocery store. Plenty of grocery items from nonfood items to food, frozen items and a good variety of beverages (alcoholic as well). Pleasant staff and always clean and welcoming. Sushi and deli options available inside, like their egg, tuna and cabbage sandwiches, BBW beef bowl with rice and yellowtail/salmon sashimi. Tip: Online delivery is now available using Instacart. Can't wait to visit again on our next trip to Hawaii!

I been coming here since 2016 since it opened. I work restaurant industry and everyone knows after 8-810pm, most stuff is discounted. I been waiting for 40 minutes today, and the lady with the blonde/brown highlights will not discount. I don't get it. They always do it, but for some reason today she's like don't have time or will not do it. I been disrespected and she will not discount anything

It was okay, pretty small place compared to other Mitsuwa that ive been at. Didn't have that many options

I swung by almost daily after cat cafe to pick up refreshments and small bites. I dined in at the food court once, and the food we chose was tasty. There wasn't a lot of interaction with hr staff, so I can't comment on the service. They also sell some sweets from Kulu in case you're a fan of that place which i happen to be. Also make sure to return the wooden box to the vendor after you eat!

In the upper floor of the International Market Place we stumbled upon Mistuwa, a Japanese grocery store with delicious bento boxes! After paying we were able to heat up our food in the microwave. There was some seating outdoors where we decided to eat instead of taking back to the hotel. We tried a variety of sushi, salmon, and fried oysters. These were all fresh and tasty but the fried oysters were the highlight for me! Incredibly yummy food at great value. Would highly recommend a visit during your trip!

Are the mochi donuts gluten-free? I know some contain cake flour or wheat flour in addition to the sweet rice flour. Are these made only with rice flour?

They are not gluten free. I have Celiac and asked the woman working the counter on 3/6/2022 and she said that it is a mixture of rice and wheat flours in their mochi donuts.

We had a 7pm reservation that I booked through Yelp. We arrived a few minutes before our time, and was quickly seated in a "cozy" little table for 2. This place is crackin' though. It's loud and energetic. Mostly because it's a small little place down a side street on Beach Walk. The staff is super friendly, and the food is even better. I had the pork and shrimp katsu set, and my husband had fancy pork katsu set. We also had edamame to start. Everything came out sizzling hot and to perfection. I should also mention, this place is clean. The staff was constantly cleaning tables and menus. I'm giving Ginza only 4 stars because no one ever came to refill our drinks. I know it's such a small thing, but I accidentally ate some of the spicy mustard that was buried on my plate under the salad. My mouth was ON FIRE! I drank all my Diet Coke and my husband had already finished his drink too. So ya, I was dying...lol! Overall though, I would 100% eat at Ginza again

Very random one morning after stopping by kona purveyors in Waikiki, I went to the restroom and while my husband was waiting for me he decided to randomly check if they had any reservations available and we were able to get one for the next day! Getting a reservation is definitely the way to go, I've seen people wait in standby however seating is not guaranteed since they prioritize those who have a reservation. The service was amazing! They are constantly checking up on you to see if you need anything else. I like how they offer different kinds of miso soup. I personally had limitations due to my shellfish allergy, but it was amazing! The katsu we ordered was one of the biggest one that they offer. It's crazy how big the katsu was and surprisingly it was super crispy, light, and even juicy in the inside! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try katsu in hawaii!

Since we didn't get reservations we had to do walk in. The waitlist didn't seem bad when we first signed up but it took forever to finally get a table. It was a hot day so we were waiting outside, for nearly an hour. There were only like two or three parties ahead of us on the waitlist. We finally got seated and the people right after us on the list got seated at the same time (they put their name 15 min after us). I would not recommend the waitlist, since it's not consistent. The food itself is always delicious. The new space was nice (and larger). Our server was very nice also. We both got tonkatsu. I got the mizore and my partner got the sizzling one. I appreciate the choices of rice and miso soup. I really enjoyed my Shiso rice and the white miso soup. I think even though I enjoyed the ground daikon but I also think I would've been happy with just a regular tonkatsu, similar for the sizzling platter.

I've been to Mitch's a few times and when I saw that they opened up an Izakaya next door, I knew I had to try it and made a reservation on Yelp. Izakaya Mitch's specializes more in cooked dishes while the other side is more about the fresh / raw fish. But that didn't stop us from ordering the assorted sashimi. All the fish were from Japan and yes you can taste the difference. The fatty tuna was obviously my favorite but even the regular tuna and the hamachi was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. Plus, it comes with real wasabi. Not horseradish, real wasabi. For the cooked dishes we got the hokkaido crab tempura with a side of matcha salt. One of the best tempuras I've ever had. The kamameshi, a rice dish with their fish of the day. We got the half order and it's kinda like a bibimbap where they mix the rice for you at your table. I saw that people were raving about this on Yelp and put in our order right when we got in because it takes 25-ish minutes to prepare. On special, they had a karei karaage. Karei is a flat fish and I've never had a fish karaage before, it was perfectly fried and dipped in the ponzu sauce it was so good. Ambiance is a no-frills kinda spot but very clean and feels homey and the service is amazing! Attentive and super personable.

I made reservations, so we were seated right away. Luckily, it wasnʻt crowded when we sat, so our waitress was able to answer all our questions about different dishes we were interested in ordering. Our party of 3 got to try different things from the specials and regular menu. The tai karaage was so tender and seasoned really well, the kamameshi is such a comfort dish, and the burrata with chilled tomato was really refreshing. One thing we all liked was that even though there were a lot of people in the restaurant (most came in after we ordered), we still were able to speak to one another without talking loud. The staff mentioned that they will be getting a sushi chef, so I guess we need to try this place again,

This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy! If you're looking for the best soba and awesome tempura, this is your spot!!!

Probably 30 minutes. Light crisp batter on perfectly cooked shrimp and veggies. Damn it was good. The service was great as well and I cannot wait to go back. Nice warm atmosphere and there's a free parking lot. It gets busy during lunch and dinner, so get there early or make a reservation. Enjoy!
