Good food here and friendly service provided here. It's a smaller place but even on a Sunday night it can be busy. I've had a few things off the sushi menu and the Tempura Vegetable Udon and am satisfied with the quality and serving size. Plenty of parking but the shopping center can be busy depending on the time of day, luckily there's lots of parking and a 2-story parking structure. The traffic movement requires drivers to respect the arrows and it takes some learning, but this is one of many good places to get food as well as grocery shopping and other things done! read more

We were lucky to get seating for 8 of us on a Saturday a little after lunch. We just got done with a community event and were famished. I ordered the veggie croquette and the veggie tempura set. The veggie croquette was good but could have used more veggies in it. The outside could have been more light and crispy. The vegetable tempura had a good mix of veggies, but I had hoped for some shave radish for my dipping sauce. The keiki meal was such a deal for ramen, edamame, and the teriyaki chicken with rice. Such a good amount of food for both my kids which they couldn't finish. Service was good and quick. The waitress was attentive to refills of drinks. I got a Diet Coke and was so glad they have Coke products and the fountain drinks there. Parking was packed at lunch time but was opening up as we were looking for parking. The stalls and ways of the parking lot can be confusing if you don't go there often. read more

We've been going to Teishoku for a couple years now and it's always guaranteed good and fast service with great food! My husband usually gets the chirashi bowl and the fish is always fresh and cut into HUGE chunks. He's always satisfied after the meal. I usually get a combination of 2 choices of the teishoku and we share a sushi roll. With both meals, they bring miso soup and some pickled vegetables with edamame. The teishoku set also comes with toss green salad. Definitely well worth the price! 2 reasons I give it 4/5 stars is that they charge an extra amount for almost everything when you do a combination teishoku set (ex: $2.75 for shrimp and vegetable tempura, $1.50 for pork tonkatsu, etc). The other reason is they don't always ask if you want hot tea before the meal and if you want dessert after the meal. I'm a very "superstitious" person so believe if the don't offer me dessert, that's the universes way of telling me to stop eating cuz I ate too much and am now fat read more

This small unassuming spot is filled with warmth and delicious food. We were greeted by kind and helpful staff. We got excited at the different options and decided to get a combo with butterfish and kalbi as well as ahi limu poke and udon. Usually when you go somewhere, there are some stand outs and duds but everything here was delicious! The butterfish was grilled to perfection and the umami flavors of the kalbi were mouthwatering. The udon was perfect for me, nice thick noodles, plenty of wakame, the soup just salty enough. We could really taste the kukui in the ahi limu poke, which is key! The prices were so reasonable, we have nothing bad to say about this spot. We came here after the Bishop museum and might have to make it a tradition. Thanks for a delicious lunch! We will be back soon! read more

I ordered the lunch special, teri chicken and mix tempura. It came with a bowl of miso soup. There was toss salad with their homemade dressing, I assume...lol The food was delish. Place is clean. Was a little confused if we had to wait to be seated, although there was no sign lol. So we sat ourselves...the waitress and waiter saw us standing by the door and didn't even say we could sit down. No water refill either...4 star for the food read more

3-11-26 today my brother picked us up for lunch and I said I'm having something different instead of my regular musoyski butterfush. I had their salmon and ikura don. It comes with reg rice or sushi rice. I said I wanted sushi rice. It was very good the salmon was 3 pieces and the ikura was over the top of the rice. Only thing I couldn't taste the vinegar in the sushi rice other than that it was good. I'll order it again. read more

This is a cozy hole in the wall restaurant located in Kam Shopping center. They're generally pretty busy (especially when there are events being held at campus on the hill!). I like that they'll allow you to make a reservation online. 10 or 11 booths & a few seperate tables that can be put together for a large party. Prices are amazing! Service is friendly & quick. Food is delicious. read more

One of my local friends recommended this spot. Be warned that parking is very busy in this plaza, but it is free. Inside is a quaint little Japanese ambiance. The menu has a good array of cooked fish choices, sushi options, and soups or ramen. The service was great, especially given our large group. This wasn't a super fancy place but the food was amazing. The prices are very reasonable as well. We will most certainly return to this spot when we visit Hawaii again. read more

Sunday 7/13/25 Came for a late lunch about 2 pm after an 11 am baseball game in Manoa and a flight of ice cream in Hawaii Kai. There was a bit of a wait as several tables and high chairs needed to be wiped down after previous customers who had left. It must have been busy earlier. The volume of their music was quite loud at first. Perhaps if they played some softer recognizable background music it would match their dainty looking hanging light fixtures better. There were 2 female employees, one took the order and another delivered our orders. A pleasant and polite male employee waited on other tables and brought us a package for left overs. We both couldn't figure out how to securely close their take out compartment container with a flap and a button like area but nothing to press it into. Hubs enjoys Saba and remarked that the prices were reasonable compared to elsewhere except for my steak. I ordered medium well, it was seasoned perfectly, looked thin but not charred or overcooked. It tasted delicious. Sadly for a ribeye it was tough and very chewy. I took 2/3 of it home in hopes of trying to soften it if I cook it for dinner by boiling it a bit then make a hekka or something with tofu tonight. read more

Like having a piece of Japan near my house! Quaint hole in the wall restaurant with quick and easy service. We live very close to Kam Shopping center, so this is one of our go to places. One of the waiters even knows my parents when ever he sees them. Very good quality for what you pay for. Their combination specials are the best and sushi rolls are to die for. Any of this fish or fried foods are perfect for all your Japanese living needs. It is on the smaller side and does get kinda crowded during dinner rush, but the waiters/waitresses do a very good job on getting your food to your table very quick. I honestly got my food before I could finish a conversation. My favorites are always the appetizers or Ala carts. Hamachi Carpacio, Salmon round onion, baby tako, tako wasabi, karaage, all are so good. read more

It's been a while since been here. Looked the same, clean& compact with booth & table seating. Complete your reservation online as lunch & dinner times, you may not get a table right away. Happened to me & had to go at 3:30pm instead of 5 pm as I first requested. Seated & plenty of time for my party of 7 to arrive & check out what they wanted to eat. Staff is efficient and service on this slow period was sufficient, getting extra plates , forks, etc . The food was tasty & with good portions. ( see pics) everyone enjoyed their meals & some had leftovers. Very reasonable prices, & quality of food & freshness is a plus! Have to go more often. They offer a punch card system for frequent diners,getting you a discount. Parking in the busy strip mall , can be challenging, just be patient. A very pleasant dining experience with good Japanese food! read more

Aunty took us to her favorite Japanese restaurant. Teishoku in the Kamehameha Shopping Center. Awesome food at very reasonable prices and excellent service. We had the Broiled Misoyaki Butterfish, Teriyaki Chicken, Deep Fried Oysters, Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura, and Shioyaki Salmon. All were perfectly prepared and delicious . You can also choose to have your entree's served with Sushi Rice ( we like it because it was well balanced and delicious). For dessert we had the Yuzu ice cream very nice to have a little citrusy, creamy, yet light. Perfect ending for our evening. read more

Teishoku - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

Japanese restaurant owned by Chinese? How can that be authentic? That was my initial thinking. Now, I shouldn't judge. And I can eat my words. Opened in July 2016, Teishoku Restaurant was opened by Jason Zhang in the Kamehameha Shopping Center in Kalihi. It is still thriving and popular with locals. And I do admit that being a regular customer, its food is consistently Japanese and delicious. After graduating from the University of HI at Manoa, owner Jason Zhang, who loves to cook and eat Japanese food, worked in the hotel industry in Waikiki for 2 years before opening Teishoku. He travels to Japan twice per year to bring back new recipes for the restaurant. At the time of opening Teishoku, many high-end Japanese restaurants and izakayas were making their presence in Honolulu. But owner Jason saw a lack of teishoku dining. "Teishoku" is a Japanese translation for complete set meal that includes a main dish, small side dishes, rice, and miso soup. Many items in teishoku dining are considered comfort foods. Teishoku Restaurant was thus born. Teishoku serves an extensive and impressive menu: * Pupus: tofu, gyoza, tempura, edamame, wasabi, chicken karaage. * Teishoku (served with salad, appetizers, rice, miso soup): butterfish misoyaki, chicken, katsu, ribeye steak, chicken karaage, tonkatsu, fish, tempura, kalbi, unagi, fried ooyster. * Combination meals (served with salad, appetizers, rice, miso soup): sashimi + tempura, katsu, karaage, croquette, natto, chicken, salmon poke limu, kalbi, saba, unagi, butterfish, beef, ahi, oyster, udon. * Donburi: ahi, natto, salmon, ikura, chiraishi. * Sashimi: ahi, salmon, Hamachi. * Curry: katsu, oyster, chicken karaage, croquette, shrimp tempura. * Nigiri: maguro, Hamachi, salmon, unagi, egg, ebi, tobiko, ahi, natto, ikura. * Rolled sushi: CA roll, tempura, spicy ahi, salmon, hamachi avocado, ocean. * Ramen/Udon: char siu, veggie, chicken katsu, tempura. * Ramen combo: ramen + sushi, karaage, donburi * Kids' meal: shoyu ramen, teri chicken donburi, edamame. * Lunch special (served with miso soup, rice, appetizer, salad): miso salmon/ tonkatsu, tempura/teri chicken, spicy ahi/CA roll. * Dessert: matcha cheesecake, matcha ice cream, yuzu sherbet. Some of our favorites include: * Misoyaki butterfish. Teishoku advertises that it's the best in Honolulu; however, I can't confirm that, but it is good. It's marinated in a special house-made sauce * Shrimp/veggie tempura. The tempura of shrimp, carrots, kabocha, long green beans, and sweet potato are lightly battered and non-oily. * Teishokus and combo meals. Love the add-ons with the main entrees. The salads are fresh lettuce with a delicious house-made sesame sauce. Served piping hot, the flavorful miso soup has lots of wakame and tofu in it. Love the pickled tsukemono, takuwan, and edamame to be eaten with a choice of fluffy sushi rice, white rice, or brown rice. Prices are reasonable for the generous portions that are served. Various discounts are given: * Senior discount. 10% discount off of your total bill every Tuesday for those 60 and over. * Free items. Periodic newspaper ads giving free CA roll, saba, karaage chicken etc. with minimum $25 purchase. Not to be used on Tuesdays. * Stamp cards. Don't forget to use your stamp cards; once filled, you get $10 off of your total bill (cannot be used on Tuesdays). Staff is friendly and very efficient, which has positively changed since they first opened. They ensure that your meals are served quickly after orders are placed, and that everything is satisfactory to your liking. This small Japanese restaurant has booth seating separated by shoji screens, as well as a few tables that are located closest to the kitchen. There are drop round paper lanterns hung from the ceiling. The interior is clean, bright, and inviting. Hours of operation are daily 11a to 9p. Reservations can be made during peak hours so that you need not wait for a table. Located next to Times Supermarket, there is free parking in the large lot shared with other businesses. Teishoku is in our rotation of restaurants that we go to that have good quality Japanese food at reasonable prices with friendly, efficient service. After all, I was misguided to underestimate owner Jason, as he loves Japanese cuisine and wants to share his talented and delicious cooking with all of us! Support local! read more

Went to Teishoku for lunch....they were very busy, had to sign in and wait approximately 20 mins. Once we were seated....service was fast and efficient, very friendly. Everyone seated on other tables seemed happy and enjoying their lunch....a bit noisy. We ordered the combinations ramen and teri beef bowl and chicken karaage and ramen with chicken kaarage and cucumber sushi. Both were excellent. The ramen was hot and tasty and nice flavor to the teri meat.i would have love a piece of tempura instead of the chicken. This is our go to place when we are in the area. read more

Ah, Teishoku. A place where the butterfish arrives like a velvet kiss, fatty, tender, almost indecent in how it melts on the tongue. For that moment alone, one can almost forgive the sins lurking in the shadows. Almost. The miso? Legit. The kind of broth that feels lived in, like it has been stirred by old hands who remember what umami means. Respect where it's due. But then chincy pickled radish, the kind that whispers cost-cutting corner store, not the tangy bite of precision. The vibe? Low-class, suffocating. Stuffy walls, air too still, a place that longs to be Tokyo but lands somewhere in the territory of bargain-bin Honolulu strip mall chic. In Japan, this would barely rank mid-tier fodder for tired office clerks who care more about filling bellies than seducing senses. Here, however, in Hawaii's patchwork of faux-Japanese pretenders, Teishoku becomes a "legit option." Context, after all, is a cruel mistress. So yes, four stars, but gifted reluctantly. A reward for the fish, not for the theater it was forced to play in. The rest? Points bled away for a lack of atmosphere, for the absence of grace. Would I be back? Yes for a quick lunch why not . read more

Teishoku boldly declares itself the "Home of the Best Misoyaki Butterfish in Honolulu," a claim prominently displayed on the front cover of their menu. Naturally, we felt compelled to put this statement to the test. To our delight, their misoyaki butterfish lived up to the hype as it was among the best we've ever tasted. The fish had a wonderfully smooth, moist texture, and the flavor was perfectly balanced, leaving us wanting more. Teishoku truly delivers on its promise...YUMM! The dinner service was excellent from start to finish. Although we had to wait for a table, as the saying goes, "Good things are worth the wait." In this case, it certainly was! read more

I've been there since they opened few years ago. Their menu has changed since my last visit. My choice of Japanese cuisine it all depends how it's cooked and presented. I was once upon a time Japanese server for the restaurants all defunct now. The food served here are for the local pallets otherwise the restaurant will see a decrease in the clientele's word of mouth on how the food was made either written in Yelp or friends and relatives alike. I'm now interested in eating there again to see and eat their combination of food. Teishoku means: 1 soup, 3 dishes for a nutritional balance meal for one's body and a healthy meal. Normally Japanese meals are highly overpriced because of the time to prepare each ingredients. I'm sure Teishoku serves their meals with their own ingredients that we'll all enjoy. read more

You will not be disappointed! We got there around 1130 and were able to walk right in, any later and it'll get BUSY. Customer service was very good, very attentive.

Per my mom's recommendation, this being a Saturday just before 12pm, we were out looking for a brunch spot. Yes, we had plans, but, due to traffic accidents and traffic, here we are. Hello Teishoku! Parking here in the Kam shopping center is a hit or miss, usually a miss. But we were lucky. Also, we walked right in and there was a table for 4 that had just opened up. The "Now-a-days" prices were reasonable. Food came out in a timely manner; service was friendly, quick, and the food was very good. The rice was a bit mushy, but that's just me. Yes, I would definitely be back to try other dishes. It does get busy. As we excited, there were a line of people waiting to enter. read more

The food was so good! We had ordered takeout on a pretty busy night and were given an estimate of about 40 minutes but it was ready when we got there about ten minutes early. After getting home, the food was still warm and delicious! They were very busy so it was hard to get ahold of them to call for delivery, I must say. After eating their food I must also say that it's very understandably so. The restaurant is small and had a bunch of people outside still willing to wait! FOOD: For takeout, whatever sides they say they provide is still provided! This includes the salad, miso soup, tsukemono, and soy beans. The curry udon was surprisingly so much better than what my family makes at home. The vegetables weren't blended into the curry so the bites felt more hardy and had a great texture! I got the squid karaage myself and WOW! Not too chewy, good flavor, and great texture despite it being less fresh due to the extra time it took to bring it home. The hamachi carpaccio was good. It was not as fresh-tasting as some other places I've been to but I haven't had carpaccio before so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Still, it is far from bad!! Honestly the only negative thing I have to say was the crunchy hamachi roll's crisp rice wasn't very crispy but it might have been because it was eaten over 10 minutes after preparation. It still tasted great and I ate up every bit of the crispies anyway. So... not really negative. PRICE & QUALITY: The pricing was so much more reasonable than any restaurant in Hawaii that I've been to with comparable quality. I would even go so far to say it was of better quality than a lot of restaurants that charge about $25 for ala carte. read more

Service was great. It was a weekday so they weren't that busy so we got a seat quick. Food : I have eaten here many times, but this is the first time I got the curry udon with fried oysters.

I have tried their chicken Katsu, but that can be a hit and miss. One time it was too overcooked and dry. read more

Haiku: Teishoku Delicious set meals Their kid's menu is a deal Known for butterfish. --- For our first meal after touchdown, I was craving something Japanese, complete, and comforting. I love teishoku-type meals because it features a well-balanced set of protein, rice, soup, and a pickled side dish. This spot was perfect. They have a wide selection of appetizers, combo meals, teishoku meals, sushi, ramen, rice bowls, and curry. I got their famous Broiled Butterfish Misoyaki Teishoku meal and savored every morsel. The butterfish was sweet, savory, and delicately tender. It was perfectly balanced with the pickles, rice, salad, and miso soup. We also ordered the Chirashi Don and were dazzled by the fresh and super thick slices of sashimi. It was generous and filling. The Kid's Meal was impressive--for just under $11, you get a mini shoyu ramen, chicken teriyaki, edamame, and rice. My daughter was excited to dig in. The decor had a lot of Japanese style wood dividers and paper lanterns. Service was good. I'd come back here again and again. read more
