Food- 4 stars Service- 3 stars…read moreAmbiance 2 stars I just want to say first, the main reason why I rated this restaurant 2 stars is because of the ventilation situation which was non existent. We got smoked out and it got bad to the point where my eyes were getting watery. Not sure if this happens all the time at this spot- this was my first time. The service was okay. We waited over 10 minutes to get cups of water and to put in our order. I totally get that they were short handed which also explains why it took almost 40 minutes for us to be served. Ordered the Negi-Hamachi to try something different. Hamachi is my favorite fish served sashimi style so I decided to switch it up and order the Negi-Hamachi which is finely chopped, yellow-tail with green onion and wasabi over sushi rice served with tsukemono and miso soup. I was super happy with this because the Hamachi was delicious and surprisingly, I did not feel bloated or too full afterwards.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Stopped in for dinner on a Saturday night. We made reservations and were seated right away. Since this place is located in the mall, parking is very easy. We ordered asahi beers to drink, chicken katsu teishoku, and several kushi katsu (zucchini, shishito pepper, mushroom, and fishcake). Food was very tasty but I noticed it was a bit oily and fatty. Food felt heavy in my stomach at the end of the dinner. Serving sizes exceeded my expectation and my friend and I shared the chicken katsu teishoku. This came with some vegetables and miso soup. Their lettuce salad is unlimited/bottomless and what helped combat the oily food. Service was okay. I didn't like that they passed our table a few times without clearing dishes after seeing us struggle with managing everything on our table. Servers did their job. I recommend trying this place! The food is very tasty and portions are big.

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 :)

Haven't been here for a while and found out they are open for both lunch and dinner, 7 days a week…read morenow! Ordered a couple of drinks (Orion beer for hubby, lychee sake martini for me. We almost always get the early bird special (4-6pm) and while the prices has gone up, it's still an awesome deal at $22.95. There's a lot of options to select in addition to the standard shrimp (2) and veggie (2string beans, slice of kabocha (pumpkin), zucchini slice, and a carrot slice). No upcharge regardless of which options you choose. Miso (shiro, or white) soup is Japan status smooth. Something come to appreciate when you get it in Hawaii. I had the Teri chicken and sashimi option. Delicious With miso soup, salad and tempura! Also filling. Comes with a bowl of rice, not sure if they refill since I don't usually finish mine so hubby gets it. He got the grilled saba and sashimi. Sashimi was very fresh (as always) and almost melt in your mouth good! Teri chicken was moist and tasty. Hubby said saba was good, not dry. Service was good, we were asked quickly if we wanted to order drinks and our food, and we were checked on several times. This is a good place to get together in small groups for a few drinks and good food. Will make it a point to get here again soon!

They use REAL fine shredded snow crab (and not skimpy on it) and the tempura flakes were also finely shredded. Nice! Taste was Ono. Keep it up California Beach Rock n Sushi!

We visited Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya at the Pearlridge location during a stormy day, and it ended up…read morebeing the perfect spot for a warm, comforting meal. Although this location doesn't have all the same menu items as the Mililani one (I was definitely missing my favorite salmon fried rice), we still had a really good experience overall. I tried the sukiyaki beef bowl this time--it was decent, though it leaned a bit heavy on the rice compared to the portion of beef. The chicken karaage was a standout. The portion was generous, fried fresh, and paired really well with a spicy mayo dipping sauce. We also ordered the tofu salad, which was surprisingly large and super flavorful, with a sesame peanut dressing that I really enjoyed. Service was extremely quick, likely because the restaurant was pretty empty (which worked in our favor, especially during spring break). It did feel a bit rushed at times, but honestly, I didn't mind since I tend to prefer a quick in-and-out dining experience. Parking was also very convenient, with plenty of spaces available around the mall on multiple levels. Even though this location doesn't carry all of our favorites from Mililani, we'd still definitely come back. Solid food, fast service, and a great option when you're craving something warm and satisfying.

I eat here often and didn't realize I haven't done a review!…read more Service here is very good. Hostess is ok but the servers are ALL great. Even the busboy is polite abs efficient. It's old school Japanese restaurant with a lot of choices. Reasonable quiet, spacious, and while it's getting about old looking, it's hard to be old school if it weren't. Occasionally we are early enough to get one drink at happy hour prices (to 4:30). Hubby enjoys the sake. He has a flight this time and was very pleased. Other times he gets the Orion beer (Okinawan - so pronounced Japanese style, not like the constellation). They now offer vodka soda, I had the Lychee flavor and it was very good. I couldn't find the calorie count on the can but it's pretty sweet so it's not like a seltzer. Prices can be steep so we try to take advantage of the Wed-Fri early birds special or the senior (all day) menu. We usually go for dinner. But once in a while for lunch. They do have lunch specials. This time we had the early bird special. Hubby always gets the teri short rib, which is boneless. I get the sashimi. Each has a charge, but to us it's worth it. All one with miso (white) soup with wakame and tiny squares of tofu. Pretty smooth. Ours comes with shrimp (3) and veg tempura (string beans, eggplant, white Japanese sweet potato) and California roll sushi. This time we opted for white rice because it (in our opinion) goes better with the teri short ribs and sashimi. Other times we've had the Cali rolls, which are good. Server gave us a salad (guess cuz we got white rice?) Regular priced menu items are a bit steep, but you can get good value with the specials or happy hour (appetizers)

I recently dined at Rokaru Shabu Shabu, and it turned out to be one of the more satisfying hot pot…read moreexperiences I've had on Oahu. Located in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center area of Aiea, the restaurant has a modern and comfortable dining space that feels both lively and welcoming. The layout is well suited for group dining, which makes sense given the communal nature of shabu shabu. The moment we were seated, the staff were attentive and helpful in explaining the menu and how the ordering process works for guests who may be less familiar with the style of dining. What immediately stood out was the quality and freshness of the ingredients. Shabu shabu is a cuisine where ingredient integrity matters significantly because the cooking process is very simple. Rokaru clearly prioritizes fresh vegetables, well-prepared broths, and thinly sliced meats that cook quickly and evenly in the hot pot. The beef selections were particularly impressive, with slices that had excellent marbling and tenderness. Once briefly cooked in the broth, the meat developed a rich flavor while still maintaining a delicate texture. The broth options were another highlight of the meal. Each broth offered its own flavor profile, allowing diners to customize their experience depending on their preferences. The broths were flavorful without becoming overly salty or heavy, which allowed the natural taste of the meats and vegetables to come through. As ingredients were added throughout the meal, the broth continued to develop deeper flavor, which is one of the pleasures of well-executed shabu shabu. The sauce bar also added an enjoyable level of customization. Having the ability to mix dipping sauces allows each diner to tailor the flavor balance of each bite. Whether leaning toward something more savory, slightly spicy, or bright with citrus, the sauces complemented the cooked ingredients well without overwhelming them. Service throughout the meal remained attentive and efficient. Staff checked in regularly to ensure that broths were maintained, orders were correct, and diners had everything they needed. The pacing of the meal felt comfortable, allowing our group to take time enjoying each round of ingredients without feeling rushed. The overall atmosphere contributed positively to the experience. The dining room had an energetic but controlled environment that made it easy to enjoy conversation while cooking and sharing food together. Shabu shabu naturally encourages a social dining style, and Rokaru does a good job creating a space that supports that experience. Overall, Rokaru Shabu Shabu delivers a well-executed hot pot experience with fresh ingredients, flavorful broths, and attentive service. The restaurant demonstrates a clear understanding of what makes shabu shabu enjoyable: quality ingredients, balanced broths, and a welcoming environment where diners can take their time and enjoy the process of cooking their meal.
