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. He constantly picked up our plates and trash and always checked on our table. :) The butcher cuts and kitchen food selections were quite fresh and well kept! 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!

One of my favorite K-BBQ places on island!…read more Once you find a good parking spot, the rest of your night it gonna be Golden! I've come here as a date night with my husband, family dinner, and even with my newborn. This place has never let me down. I love that it's AYCE and the service is top notch. It looks small and cramped from the outside, but I had enough room in the inside for our party of 10 and my stroller! I was also able to rock my baby to sleep while standing and eating. And yes, he did fall asleep in the restaurant and stayed mostly asleep. Something that's very interesting is the corn and Mac and cheese side - you don't see that anywhere else. Of course, they do have the classic banchans, but those really influence my decision when I think of where I wanna go to eat. Overall, just figure out how to park and the rest of your night is gonna be great food and you just gotta bring the good company!

Ichiriki has my heart. Such a hearty and healthy meal and always friendly service from Chas and…read moreLovely when we go!! I did note that prices have gone up but if you're willing to fork it out, it's worth it! Recommend making a reservation as they do get busy and occasionally are short staffed but you should be able to grab a seat without one (unless you go during peak hours). Also enoki mushrooms are back! $6 for a tray, you could probably split between 2-3 people (depending on how much you like em)

Ichiriki is great, hm, well they've always been really good and my family loves this place but the…read moreonly reason I would give a 4-star is because of the cleanliness of the place. It feels a bit like management or ownership isn't paying attention to all the details, like for example our spoon still had food gunk on it and the dishes just didn't give off a very sanitary feel... that said, the food and service are usually good, and it's a kid friendly place. I always get the paitan broth with pork, and then definitely the zosui after! My fave being the zosui. The dessert is just a-ok too so not the most amazing. And service is so great :') the server was amazing, always checking up on us and had a great attitude. 5 star service and 4.5 ish star food :)

I came for comfort food and left emotionally attached to pie…read more The chicken pot pie was next-level cozy. The crust was perfectly golden and flaky -- not soggy, not too thick, just that buttery, shatter-when-you-touch-it kind of crust. Inside was creamy, savory goodness packed with tender chunks of chicken and veggies that still had a little bite. It tasted homemade in the best way, like the upgraded gourmet version of something your favorite aunt would make. But the real surprise star? The strawberry banana custard pie topped with mochi. I did not expect to love this as much as I did. The custard was silky and not overly sweet, the strawberries added a fresh brightness, and the banana gave it that smooth, mellow flavor that tied everything together. And the mochi on top? Such a fun, chewy texture contrast that made every bite interesting. It somehow felt light and indulgent at the same time. Savory, sweet, creamy, chewy -- this place understands balance. I would 100% come back just for pie... and that says a lot.

When we were here in 2016-2018, this was our go-to meal every night. Absolutely outstanding. When…read morewe got back in 2024, we had several boxes with considerable issues, missing protein, degraded packaging, rotting vegetables. It was impressively bad. I was looking to start again now in 2026, hoping the reviews would be better but appears there are the same issues as before. This was such a GREAT service, and living on mainland, i had access to ALL the services. I STILL considered this one of the best. Wondering how this company has fallen so far.

Very poor / slow customer service…read more My first order was delivered with no proteins (supposed to have steak, pork, and shrimp ... all I received was vegetables and meal cards / recipes.) There is no phone number to call, so I emailed them, and emailed again a couple of days later, and again a couple of days later. I did eventually hear back and was given a $30 dollar coupon for another order. Essentially I paid nearly $70 for about $25 worth of vegetables (for me to buy the missing proteins was almost $45). I did place a second order with the coupon and no issues with delivery on the second order. Pros: delivery is convenient, meals are not hard to make, instructions are pretty clear. Cons: POOR customer service, cannot include some meals from the regular menu and some from the gluten free (it is one or the other), meals are not overly flavorful, no cooling packs / ice in the delivery boxes and no effort to place the box in the shade on my porch (box was left in direct sun and was very warm when I got home -- likely effected quality of the vegetables)

No complaints on that, but nothing memorable if we're accounting for the price. About $22 for pretty thin and limited fish. Before coming, I read a lot about this place on Reddit and some people swear by it. I also didn't realize what they have about three locations I think in Oahu. This location is in Chinatown. We didn't have a car at this time so we did rideshare and fortunately made it within the slim time interval this restaurant is open. Looked around to see if there were other things to do in the area and there's really not much especially during the day. Might be worth it if you have a car. There's really just bars in this area that are only open at night and there's some suspicious activity outside throughout china town. Very limited seating. Very limited hours. This restaurant is located in the food court within Chinatown plenty of other Asian restaurants in this food court, including Vietnamese, Chinese, and Filipino food. Very kind people working at this place.
