    Jo Y.

    After the Rudy Ducusin family lived in Vegas for 13 years and worked with top chefs Thomas Keller and Wolfgang Puck, Rudy had a passion to own his own business. The family moved back to HI and started their food truck business in 2019 and called it "Str'Eats of Aloha," meaning that it would be hustling through the streets with their take on Hawaiian and Asian-inspired local comfort food. While the food truck operates at various special events, they have a brick-and mortar shop that opened in 2022 for take-out on Sand Island Access Rd in Kalihi. They also offer catering services. Str'Eats of Aloha offers generous portions of local-inspired plate lunches, bentos, and fusion dishes, such as guava smoked pork belly, pork mozzarella cutlet w/ chorizo gravy, and char siu fried noodles. Breakfast and various desserts are also offered. I had the Str'Eats Bento #2 that included furikake rice, teri beef, shrimp katsu, garlic shrimp, mandoo (2 pcs), and char siu fried noodles. The yakisoba noodles are made locally by Sun Noodles and are seasoned in a homemade sauce and topped with generous amounts of kamaboko, green onions, and chunks of char siu. The noodles are very tasty, and I couldn't believe the generous amounts of char siu (some of them chunks even!), minced kamaboko, and sliced green onions! I even used the leftover noodles for simian! The teri beef was also tasty and tender. I enjoyed the huge piece of flavorful garlic chicken, the jumbo shrimp, and the tasty mandoo! All the items complemented each other well! A winner for sure! Very impressive bento that I shared with my hubby and even had leftovers for another meal! I also tried the pork hash (siu mai) and found them to be of a good size and very tasty! Love that Str'Eats of Aloha partners with the Pork Hash Factory to bring these to us! Customer service is friendly and efficient, with the person taking your order very knowledgeable about their menu items. Prices are very reasonable. As everything is made-to-order, be prepared to wait during peak hours for your take-out; it's best to call and pre-order for fast pickup. A very popular eatery, as you'll always find customers waiting outside for their orders. The small shop area is designed for take-out only, as you wait outside until your order is ready. Most of the shop interior is the kitchen and prep area. The walls near the entrance have photos of their menu items, a blue-and-white menu hangs from the ceiling, a hand-written whiteboard of specials stands on the floor, and a clear refrigerated display case that houses their various desserts. Hours of operation are Mon to Fri 6a to 1p, Sat/Sun closed. Located in a row of businesses with Lunch Box of HI nearby (think of the giant konbu musubi and spicy mochiko chicken), free parking fronting the shop and alongside the building complex is available, which is shared among the various businesses. While parking may be difficult to find during peak dining hours, most businesses there are pick-up and go, so spaces become available if you wait. Str'Eats of Aloha also supports local organizations in promoting Hawaii culture and cuisine. Can't wait to try their other menu items, knowing that that food will be of high quality, flavorful, be generous in portion, in having choices, and be of reasonable cost as to its value. May the Ducusin family have continued success with their business!

    Brahhhh so ono! My suggestion is to try everything! My wife and I been coming here from before when they only did food truck events and now that they get one shop off sand island and it's only 5 mins from our house it's even better! Everything is ono and you won't be disappointed.

    My go to for the best plate lunches! Every food truck event I go to, I always look for this one! And most times, they're there! They are always hustlin' & always have a line. I mostly visit this truck at Pearl Country Club (now Pearl At Kalauao) for their monthly night market. My #1 to get here is their Salmon Katsu Overload and it's only $20!! It comes with 1-2 filets of fried katsu, topped with imitation crab, mayo, unagi sauce & Taegu! Not only that, salad, a bed of rice, & a kings Hawaiian roll. Overall, great deal for such a hefty plate! I'll definitely be looking out for this truck at my next food truck event!

    My husband was scrolling in the yelp app and saw several yelpers yelp this place on sand island access road. So today being a holiday we tried them. And boy the yelpers weren't kidding about the food. Thanks to yelper friend Allen N. He had the pork adobo fried rice and boy hes wasnt joking it was good and alot. My husband had their mini breakfast with bacon. Wow 3 eggs any way you like it made and 2 thick slices of bacon. My husband said it was too much rice for him. But it was good. My fried rice was good in the taste and the pork had some fat and lots of meat. The taste was spot on good. I have the leftover for my dinner and my husband will have smoke pork belly plate for he's dinner. No dessert today I ask the cashier and she smile. Maybe this week might have don't know. Will be back again. Please note: They do make it fresh so be expecting to wait for your food.

    After reading reviews from Jo Y. and Allen N. I told my wife let's give Str Eats of Aloha a try. Yes this is simple eatery. An interior is just a display counter for their desserts and a register. Along with a menu display sign. Service was friendly. They had a sign letting you know that food is prepared to order and it would take a few minutes to do your order. I ordered a mini breakfast with Guava Bacon. It came with two thick slices of bacon and three eggs made your way. I also ordered the Guava Pork Belly for my dinner. My wife had the Pork Adobo Fried rice. We both enjoyed our food and would not hesitate to come back.. Lots of food for the price. Jo Y. and Allen N. thanks for your reviews of this restaurant. Enjoy

    Pork adobo with fried rice
    Allen N.

    Str'Eats of Aloha is a hidden gem in the Sand Island area. Generous portions, bold local flavors, and a wide selection. Everything made to order, so be prepared to wait, especially during the lunch rush, the line can get quite long. Highly recommend a pork adobo with fried rice. The taste is ono.

    Town & Country

    After following Str'Eats of Aloha for almost an entire year, I was finally able to catch the food truck at the Megabon Hawaii 2025. If you know this place, you're familiar with the large plates of food put out on front of the truck, all consisting of local and asian comfort foods such as shrimp katsu, Teri beef, fried noodles, and more. I ordered the Town & Country, which came with two massive shrimp katsu on a bed or of char sui fried noodles, an order of teri beef, and a large scoop of rice. If you see this food truck, run, don't walk to it. The food is ono, and you'll be wanting more as soon as you wake up from your kanak attack.

    Butter rolls
    Kainani K.

    I heard good things about Str'Eats of Aloha and decided to stop by for lunch. The young lady taking orders was really nice and patient as I asked about the different plates. I ended up getting two #2 bentos , which came with a piece of shrimp tempura, mandoo, garlic chicken, teriyaki beef, noodles and rice. I also got two guava smoked meat plates and a dozen butter rolls. The plates were $14.50 each, and they are really generous with the portions; the plates were worth the price. The garlic chicken was really flavorful and paired well with the noodles. The mandoo had a really nice umami flavor that went nicely with the teriyaki beef and noodles. My daughter and son-in-law both agreed that the smoked meat was absolutely delicious, but everyone agreed that the butter rolls were absolutely perfect! They were super soft and absolutely delicious! This will be my go-to place for butter rolls from now on. I'll definitely be back to try the roast brisket with gravy because I heard good things about this plate, and they were sold out when I got there.

    Located I. Sand island, parking can be tight at peak hours, was lucky , got a spot. Called in order, they do get busy. Ordered, Da manapua special, was winnahazzz. Kinda close to when I was a child. 2 pork hash, fried noodles and fried chicken. I also ordered the lechon kawali, was another winnahazzz!

    Went to Str'Eats of Aloha and got a Bento #2 which came with Teri beef, Garlic Chicken, shrimp Tempura, Mandoo over a bed of fried Noodles with rice and furikake. ok I've been meaning to eat here for a while and I guess it was worth the wait the Teri beef tasted good although not the flavor of old times it was good. The Garlic Chicken was tasty and the noodles were as good as it gets. The Mandoo was okay but good enough and the Shrimp Tempura was pretty good too. The plate(Bento) reminded me of some old Massive plate lunch spot of long ago was so heavy! Parking was adequate although I can see it get crowded at times. The counter girl was pleasant and made the experience good. I definitely would come back again!

    Nothin' Mayjah

    Absolutely mean plates for the money. Can't even finish it in one sitting even though the taste buds want more.

I didn't forget as I said i would take pictures of the current menu and I did. I also said that i would try the chirashi and I did. I'm very glad I did. It was very good with fresh fish. I will attempt to name all the sashimi that went into making the chirashi. Forgive me if I'm wrong. Let's start off with the easy one first which would be maguro. Then there's tamago, ebi, hamachi, tako, sake, Tobiko and tai. Oh ok. I understand. Ahi (yellow fish), egg, shrimp, Yellow tail, octopus, salmon, flying fish eggs and red snapper or sea bream. The chirashi comes with Miso soup, edamame, cabbage and pickled onions(?). The place was crowded when we came in. Harder to sit a group of five people. My bowling mates all opted for the lunch box which is a great deal. It comes with everything that I got with my chirashi. You can select 2 choices and a piece of either vegetable tempura or shrimp tempura or 2 pieces of gyoza. I'd recommend the shrimp tempura. All of this for just $22.95. That's a good price for Japanese food and the amount given. My chirashi was $25.95. If you're looking for Japanese food and on a budget, give this place a try. Ask for Cris and tell her the Monday bowlers sent you. She will get a kick out of that. Mahalo gang and have a nice day.

It was his dream to open his own authentic Japanese restaurant using his special omakase experience from Japan and one of the first authentic sushi restaurants in Honolulu. It was a concept of "bringing Japan's finest to Hawaii" with a desire to "build a bridge between the two cultures of Japan and Hawaii." In 2018, operations were taken over by Testsuya Matsuda. A 2nd location was opened in Kahala in Jan 2024 by Hiroshima Mazda, whose specialty is traditional Japanese sushi (or omakase). Yohei Sushi 's menu offerings include: * Teishoku (or set meal). Comes with miso soup, rice, Japanese pickles, cold soba noodles, seasonal side dish. Main entrees are sashimi, tempura, maguro, misoyaki butterfish, ahi steak, saba. Salmon, ahi belly, katsu, and more. * Sushi Bar. With miso soup. Menu offerings are deluxe & standard assorted sushi, maguro don, Chirashi sushi. * Noodles. Choice of udon or soba with various combinations, e.g., nabeyaki, tempura, tororo, tanuki, zaru, kitsune, tori, tukimi, kake, and ojiya udon. Also, combo meals of tendon/noodle, sushi/noodle; and donburi of unaju, oyako don and ten-ju. * Side order & ala carte. Includes sashimi, chawanmushi, ika, shinkomori, murokyu, soft shell crab, miuzuku, Hiyahakko, edamame, tempura. Ahi belly katsu, misoyaki butterfish, saba, seafood tempura, maguro temprta, ahi steak, salmon. We've had the following: * Tendon and Noodle. Deep fried tempura of shrimp and assorted veggies in a rice bowl with sauce & hot udon. Very filling and tasty! * Tempura Teishoku. This teishoku had 3 large pieces of fried tempura shrimp and assorted veggies, e.g., carrot, eggplant, green beans, pumpkin, that were light and non-oily. Our teishoku meals came with pickled veggies, cold soba, rice, and miso soup with lots of wakame and radish sprouts. Very flavorful! They also offered a complimentary birthday scoop of ice cream with a dollop of an as a topping, which was refreshing and paired well! * Maguro Tempura Teishoku. Hubby's choice of fried tempura tuna set, and he noted that there were 8 large tender pieces of maguro that was lightly fried and non-oily. Very delicious and filling! * Unagi nigiri. The unagi was so flaky, tender, and light and had the right amount of sauce. Loved it! The presentation of the meals was beautifully plated with real, authentic Japanese small dish bowls and plates. The food was of good quality and very flavorful! Customer service was excellent! Diners are greeted by staff upon entering and thanked when leaving. The old-time servers were very patient, attentive, welcoming, and gracious! Our food orders came out in a timely manner, and the servers, with smiles, frequently asked if everything was okay and if we needed anything else. Hours of operation are: lunch daily from 11a to 2p, dinner from 5p to 9p, closed Wed. Happy hour is from Thurs to Tues from 1:30p to 5p. Located in Kokea Center that looks like a run-down strip mall at Dillingham Blvd and Kokea St, the restaurant interior has a great ambiance as if you were dining in Japan, as it is comfortable and welcoming. It was amazing to see almost every table was taken by dining customers. Reservations are a must, as people are turned away. Good thing I called for lunch reservations at 12:15p on a weekday, which was tha last table available. And the restaurant was packed the entire time that we were there!

The teishoku comes with several small side dishes, the tempura, doba, rice, and miso soup. It's a solid amount of food. Everything was oishikatta, and I left the restaurant feeling full. The tempura was airy, crunchy, and cooked to perfection. The soba noodles were chewy and springy, and the side dishes nicely complimented the main courses. I enjoyed it all! There are so many Japanese options in Honolulu, but I will certainly be back to Yohei at some point.

I could only eat half of it. The portions sizes for all the dishes were good. I actually had to take home some of the teri beef too. Kind of bummed that I hadn't been to this place 20 years ago. I guess like they say, better late than never. I will be back.

    I've often wondered about this old skool Japanese restaurant called "Yagura Restaurant"…read more Old skool diners are da BESTEST!!! After seeing my Yelp buddy - Tami C. check into this restaurant numerous times, I figah I go chance 'em!!!! I'm so happy to have tried this old skool Japanese restaurant, as I adore the old skool nostalgia! Walking into this restaurant makes me feel like I was a little kid in the 1970's. My friend & I were greeted right away upon entering the restaurant, and directed to sit into a vinyl seated booth/table. Yagura's menu is simple, offering an array of Teishoku meals. I ended up getting the BBQ Chicken Teishoku meal which included a salad, miso soup, white rice, & tsukemono. My friend - Gary T. ended up getting a combination plate of BBQ Chicken & Shrimp Tempura. What can I say about da grub? Simply O.U.T.S.T.A.N.D.I.N.G!!! My BBQ Chicken came out on a hot sizzling platter, & underneath the BBQ Chicken there was grilled onions. Yum! The chicken skin was crispy, and the sauce was deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious! Nicely executed! My friend also enjoyed his meal & mention to me that he was also glad to try this place, as he's never been here before. Service here was on point, as the waitress was friendly & efficient. Parking here is a bit challenging, as there are only 4 parking stalls infront of the restaurant. If you're unlucky to get one of the premium parking stalls, street parking is your only other option. The decor at this restaurant is definitely old skool. If your dig old skool nostalgia like me, then ya gotta check out Yagura Restaurant!

    My boyfriend and I had a great time for our very first omakase experience with Hiro. Hiro and his…read morewife warmly welcomed us as we waited for the previous seating to wrap up. Hiro is incredibly personable, engaging, and entertaining. We had so much fun chatting with him and Brandy (if I remember correctly) throughout the meal. He really set the ambiance with the lighting, beautiful art, and all these cute little knickknacks + trinkets. Every single course was explained so beautifully. As he was describing each dish, my mouth was just salivating knowing how good it was going to be. Each bite literally felt like that scene in Ratatouille where Remy tastes the cheese and strawberry together and fireworks start going off. The parking lot facing N Nimitz Highway was super convenient, just a short walk from the restaurant, and cost $9 after our dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better first omakase experience and we are so glad we chose Hiro No Uchi!

    BYOB, for now. Guests choose their own ochoko cup and a tokkuri if they want one. There are also glasses for whiskey or wine.
