I was greeted to this guy running out the kitchen to say hi! although he didn't understand me much he did his best as he primarily spoke Japanese. I appreciated the effort and hope more people give them a chance.

I visited a small spot inside Ewa Beach Shopping Center around noon. The place is very tiny--just…read moreone table with two chairs--so it feels more like a quick takeout place than a dine-in restaurant. When I walked in, there was no greeting, and The menu has a lot of options, but I decided on the large beef bowl ($16.50). After paying, I noticed they offer a 10% military discount. I asked about it, but was told it was too late to apply, which was disappointing. The beef bowl itself was pretty simple--just beef, rice, and some onion slices. I was expecting red ginger as a standard topping, but it didn't come with any. I also didn't realize you could add an egg, which might have made it better. Taste-wise, it was okay, nothing special. Overall: decent food, but lack of customer service and missing basic toppings like red ginger made the experience underwhelming. I'd give it 3 stars.

Two words: WAFU STEAK!!…read more Its been nearly 8yrs since I've been to this hidden gem in Ewa Beach. Management changed but their WAFU steak is exactly the same. The sizzling and aroma of the steak makes my mouth water every time. Hands down the best steak I crave for when I go back home. I dont know of anyone else that does it better. The other stuffs on the menu is ok but my sole rating is just for the WAFU STEAK The service was ok. We had a big group so I can understand the service. The place is not big and it's usually 1 or 2 people working the place. If you don't like their Wafu Steak then your mouth is broken. I hope they stay open for a long time.

Nostalgic or not, their butter fish is one of the best on islands, with no extra charge! They offer sushi, surf and turf, udon, and teishoku combos just to scratch the surface. Amazing portions, friendly staff, this is somewhere you have to try out. The line does get long for dinner, especially weekends so plan accordingly.

Shabuya's second location in Kapolei is such a win for those of us who live on the west side! So…read moreconvenient and just as good as the original. Wait time wasn't long at all, and there are plenty of tables inside, making it great for groups. My go to is always the spicy miso broth. Super tasty with great flavor and the perfect level of spice without being overwhelming. The meats are high quality and come in good portions, which makes the experience even better. The buffet bar is the same setup as the first location, with a wide variety of noodles, vegetables, additional meats and seafood, plus tons of sauces to customize your meal. So many options to choose from. I really enjoy their fish ball and raw eggs that I can cook with the ramen! I wouldn't skip the original fried chicken. It's so good we had to order more than five bowls of them! Crispy, flavorful sauce, and totally addictive. Service was fast and the servers were very attentive throughout our meal. Overall, an excellent experience and I'm so glad we now have a Shabuya closer to home. Highly recommend!

Shabuya is always good. We stayed at Disney aulani and spending a lot of money so it was good that…read morethe lunch special here was only $22.99 a person. Food quality was good. Service was a bit strange. We had a reservation and despite having a lot of empty seats, they said they couldn't seat us because the server was not ready. We waited about 15 mins before being seated. Also, was kind of hard getting our servers attention at times and they were very strict on the time limit despite the restaurant being empty. Place was very clean and welcoming just like any other Shabuya. Would come again.

This is our new go-to sushi spot!…read more I believe the quality they provide is a fair price. I love salmon sushi so I get the sushi party plate. It is amazing and has everything I can ask for. Sushi is my favorite so if I'm hungry, I could finish two salmon party plates. My husband splurged and got the premium nigiri set. He was nice enough to give me his uni nigiri and I inhaled that in .2 two seconds. We also got the kumbo tempura. We love that the place has a belt. You can also have minimal person free experience with it. Everything is done on the touchpad so you don't really have to talk to anyone if you don't have special requests. I assume this is how some places do it in Japan, which is very efficient. You do only get one wasabi container until you have to pay for More I believe. But you can tell the wasabi is good quality as well. For their traffic and wait-time, I believe the service is good. This place will get really busy during dinner, but it's not too bad when you get to walk around donki as you wait. You put your name on the list through the iPad and it will text you when they are ready for you. My overall experience is that it's simple and delicious, just the way I like my sushi

The only truly outstanding part of our meal at Waka Sakura was our waitress, Noriko. She was…read moreattentive and friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We tried the Wagyu plate, none of which was as tender as I'd hoped. Ordering in the tablet wasn't as easy as it could be, and we ordered something by mistake as a result. I'm not sure I get the rice thing. The rice was fine, but didn't hold together so well, making eating the nigiri a little difficult. I missed a number of favorites from other sushi places, and really wanted the chawanmushi, even though we were there for dinner (apparently it's only available lunch time?) On the plus side, the place was nice and clean, well-lit, and comfortable. And as mentioned above, the service was impeccable.

Kapolei boat was plenty for the 3 of us. Good assortment of sashimi & sushi. Would be nice if they'd let you customize the 2 sushi rolls that are also included. Water was refilled without hunting anyone down. Check was brought to us before we had the option to order dessert. Clean location, ample parking, plenty of seating. A few loud groups but nothing crazy.

The AYCE here is very lackluster. I'm going to keep this plain and simple. This is a place that you…read morecan avoid. You can't order a lot (in order to get another 3 items, you have to wait until your entire order comes; they take forever), the taste of the food is mid and they take awhile to bring you food, hoping you'll get full. They charge you for any waste. They give you a ton of rice and very little fish as you can see from the Hamachi Nigiri. Very disappointed. It felt like I was getting robbed. You think you're getting a good deal by going AYCE, but don't let the Ala carte pictures fool you. The quality and what you get is TOTALLY different in the AYCE. They cut corners and give you what appears to be the leftover pieces for the AYCE. They specifically have a policy on wasted rice to be charged at $35/lbs. Makes sense cuz they put so much extra rice to make you extra full. Just fyi, that's 2 people's orders. When they say 3 limit order per person, they mean, 3 pieces of nigiri. I've never been to an AYCE that was so stingy.
