    Tame bowl with miso soup
    Lauree T.

    WOW, I love negitoro bowls now. First time trying one of these and also Totoya, and it was impressive. It felt like l went back to Japan again. It's only a counter seating style type and can fit around 15-20 people. But, it's very clean and organized. You can also see the workers making your dish! The customer service was great, they're very attentive and kind. I got the tame bowl and added a shoyu egg (you need to add it, it made the flavor so much more intense!) When I first ate it, it was like a punch of flavor. It was filled with umami as the salmon roe pops in your mouth. Every bowl order also comes with a miso soup! They have a 7 step guide on how to best eat the bowl and the sides, I approve! So good :)

    I came around 12pm on a Wednesday and there were many open seats, though the restaurant is pretty small. There is only one guy making the bowls, so service is a tad slow. The tuna in the negitoro was fresh, but the portion sizes felt smaller than I thought they'd be. My boyfriend got the nagomi and the salmon, scallop, and shrimp it came with (in addition to the negitoro) weren't that fresh. I'm glad I got to try it, but I wouldn't wait over 30 minutes for this place.

    I came here with a party of five right at 11 AM on a weekday and no wait. I got the Tokujo and my husband got the Fukuju. We parked in a lot across the street. I devoured my entire bowl- rice and all. I got the shoyu egg sauce and the miso soup it comes with is incredible. My mother in law was with us and said the price was not bad for how much fish but not the same as Japan where she tried. For me, it was fantastic- fresh and flavorful. They care about quality of service and dining experience. I definitely want to come back here to get the Tokujo bowl again!

    The negitoro bowls are amazing. The fish tastes fresh and even the miso soup is really good. You can tell they take pride in their bowls. I upgraded to the daily special salmon miso and it was 100 % worth it. They did not skimp. There were big chunks of salmon throughout. I like to add the egg yolk with shoyu because it melts into the bowl and gives everything this rich, creamy vibe. I'm also an ikura girl forever, so I added extra and no regrets. The pop and saltiness in each bite make it soo good. Service is super fast once you order, which I appreciate. The only downside is you have to wait outside in line and they do not take reservations, so peak hours can test your patience. But honestly... I still keep coming back. Fresh fish therapy is real.

    Totoya was one of the highlights of my Hawaii trip. The fish is so fresh and they gave lots of it. Prices were also reasonable, especially coming from someone who lives in NYC. It's a smaller restaurant so try to put your name down early, but service is at least efficient so you're not waiting forever.

    I'm seriously drooling again just writing this review. Another amazing find thanks to Feed Mei Mei on YouTube! Dining at Totoya truly makes you feel like you've been transported back to Japan. We came for an early lunch and were lucky to grab the last couple of seats. They only have about 12-14 spots total, so it fills up quickly. I ordered the Nagomi bowl, which came with salmon, scallop, uni, shrimp, tuna, negitoro, and roe. My husband got the negitoro bowl and added snow crab. We both upgraded to the salmon miso soup, and it was so comforting and flavorful, definitely worth it. Each bowl comes with a couple pieces of nori, but you can request more for a small additional charge. And trust me, two pieces are not enough!. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and delicious. I only wish we had more time in Oahu to come back again, but we'll absolutely be returning on our next trip.

    Go early to find parking and be prepared to wait in line. This place is small but worth the wait! The food is amazing!! Just go and try it for yourself! Oishi!!

    If you really enjoy negitoro or kaisen don bowls then you'll be very satisfied with Totoya. Every time I go, I'm transported back to a restaurant in Japan. From the greeting at the door to the layout of the booth you sit at. The service is also on par with a Japanese restaurant -- fast and attentive. I have gone multiple times and every time the quality of the seafood used in the bowls are always top notch. While the portions may not look like a lot at first, you will definitely feel full after. I highly recommend getting the shoyu egg and extra nori to accompany your negitoro bowl. As far as the miso soup, you might want to consider getting the upgraded crab or shrimp miso soup.

    I've been wanting to try this place for the longest time after seeing it all over social media. I've been on a mission to find something close to my favorite spot in Japan, Tsujihan, and this is by far the closest I've found. The bowl was everything I was hoping for, but more since I was able to pay more for different upgrades such as more Ikura, egg yolk shoyu and shrimp head miso soup. The seafood was high quality. It satisfied my Tsujihan craving without having to fly to Japan. We came on a Wednesday night for dinner with a party of four and had no wait at all. Service was friendly. Out of all the places I've tried searching for something similar, this one comes the closest. I will definitely be back!

    Fukuju
    Regina T.

    The five star rating is two fold. First is that the food was absolutely delicious. The food quality and portions were perfect. The fish was fresh and flavorful. And how do I know that it's fresh? Because as we were at the restaurant, deliveries were being delivered nonstop. My kids devoured the salmon bowl with the salmon roe. My 8 year old's bowl was wiped clean. My 7 year old had only 2 slices of salmon and a few ikuras left. The 5 year old polished off her few pieces of salmon and roe along with her miso soup. And momma's Fukuju? Absolutely demolished. I should have ordered it with extra ikura because the quality and flavor that it provided to the bowl was something that I've never had before. I am usually not a fan of ikura, finding it too salty, but the ikura at Totoya was perfectly balanced. Second, the service was great. I had to give it to the lovely staff who were able to keep it all together when a party of 5 adults and 7 kids (aged between 5 to 11) rolled in, and of course the kids all chose to not sit with their respective parents. The food came fast and kept the peace of very hungry children. The place itself is a small little restaurant with just bar seating, no more than 16 seats, so definitely cozy. My friend sitting all the way on the other side of the bar said she could hear my conversation perfectly well, even though all the kids were loudly chatting. We will definitely be back the next time we make it out to Honolulu. Thanks to the restaurant again for providing such a memorable meal. It was all I could think about on the flight home because it was that good.

    One bite and I was instantly transported back to Japan. Everything from the quality of the fish to the house made shoyu, down to the perfect temperature of all the ingredients. Totoya blew my expectations out of the water. This was my single favorite bite in all of my hawaii trip. Phenomenal! Loved this place service was great server and chefs were so sweet, good vibes too. Lots of happy eaters.

    Crystal C.

    Totoya was hands down the best meal I had during my Hawaii trip. The fish was unbelievably fresh, and every bite tasted clean and high quality. I ordered the bowl that comes with pretty much everything, and it was loaded with a great variety of seafood that really showed off how good the ingredients are. The bowl came with miso soup, and I upgraded mine to the shrimp head version. That was a highlight. The broth had such a clean, rich seafood flavor without being heavy or fishy. I got there a few minutes before they opened and there was already a small line forming, so I'd highly recommend showing up early. It's definitely worth the wait.

    Ariel M.

    Though the restaurant is very small (no regular seating, just counter seating), the ambiance was nice and very clean with an authentic Japanese-small-stall-Izakaya feel. The staff were friendly and attentive. Portions were reasonable for the price, but pictures on the menu didn't quite reflect the actual dish ordered. Overall, I enjoyed and preferred the negitoro bowl with uni. However, whichever bowl you decide to enjoy, adding the shoyu egg yolk on top is highly recommended to really get that awesome umami taste out of the dish! Tips: -As the line may get long and the wait a bit lengthy during prime meal times, it's recommended to arrive at least 15mins before they open. -Assess the line length before parking as the most accessible parking is metered or hourly-parking lots. -This is a spot that is great for smaller parties and couples dining. However, bigger parties (5+ people) may experience a longer wait due to space and seating availability.

It looked good and it tasted good too. The purple potato salad with the 2 sweet potato chips was different and really good! After lunch, we decided to order 2 Kirin beers and a bottle of Iichiko with green tea. We drank 1/3 of the bottle and decided to save the rest for the next time. We will be back again.

    Good things come in small packages...and the best bentos come from this small shop. I'm especially…read morefond of the fact that their fish bentos are all fish. This very much pleases my pescatarian preferences. I can enjoy every bite of the bento without having to pass a piece of chicken or beef to the hubby. And, I enjoy every bite down to the last kernel of multigrain rice. So far (because we're still working our way through the menu), we've enjoyed the noriben bento and the butterfish bentos (more than once). Both are worthy of a dine-in restaurant. The high-quality rice (trust me, you can tell) is a perfectly-cooked pillow for the assortment of bento toppings. They offer both white and multigrain rice. Hubby likes white. I enjoy the pleasant nutty, sweetness of the multigrain. The noriben bento includes a piece of salmon, ahi katsu, and a tempura-furikake fish cake. A generous portion of shredded nori covers the rice and an assortment of pickled veggies compliments the sweet corn. Not only is this bento pretty, it is amazingly balanced in taste and texture. A feast for the eyes and the palate! But, the butterfish bento is the real showstopper. A very generous serving of carefully sliced, richly marinated butterfish tops your choice of rice. The hubby said it's probably the BEST butterfish he's ever had. And, I totally agree with him! Because of the way they slice the fish, the marinade saturates the filets and then it's grilled so the sauce caramelizes just enough to give a sweet and smoky flavor. SO ONO! Like I mentioned, the shop is small but if you get there early, it's full of bentos (fish, chicken, katsu pork, and hamburger steak), assorted musubis and inari, as well as sushi cups. They even offer desserts by Malu Honolulu. What a great collab! Every nook and cranny of this little shop is full of food prepared with thought and care. Only three people are allowed in the shop at a time, so there is sometimes a line outside. Don't worry! It goes fast, and it's SO WORTH the wait. Not surprisingly, they sell out. But if you don't think you're going to make it there early, you can call to order and schedule a pick up. Service is always very friendly and accommodating. Higoto is located on the first floor of Kaimuki Shopping Center on Waialae Avenue (by Times Supermarket next to Sacred Hearts). Parking is free and ample. Really, there is NO good reason to not give Higoto Japanese Eatery a try. You definitely won't be disappointed.

I parked in the residential area for free and walked a couple of blocks to the restaurant. Service was very polite and efficient. The interior was cozy and seemed authentic. I didn't feel any air-conditioning, so drinking hot tea was a bit challenging. I let my miso soup cool off before I drank it.

We enjoyed the quality of fish and variety available. As we were eating the waitresses would come by and take any empty dishes from our sets while reminding us again, that they close at 2pm.

The waitress then came back with a bag for us to take the sake home. We quickly finished our meal and I paid cash so we could just leave at this point. They were so quick to rush us out that while we were standing outside the restaurant the waitress came outside to let me know she didn't put everything she needed to charge us for on the bill so I needed to come back inside to pay an additional amount. After paying a second time she gave something to my sister for her birthday and sent us on our way. Considering there were other parties still seated in the restaurant when we left and they were aware of us celebrating a birthday I feel pretty disappointed about our experience there. We weren't offered an option to order dessert and they were in such a rush to get us to leave they didn't even have the bill rung up correctly. The food was great but we can get better service for the same quality elsewhere.

Initially I intended to order to go, but after I paid (it's credit card only - no cash), she asked if this was takeout or eat-in. I changed my mind and said I would eat there. There were no other customers at the time, so I sat at one of the tables. Within what seemed like a couple of minutes, she brought over a glass of water and the food to my table. When I paid, I didn't factor in table service, so, feeling bad, I look through my wallet but only had two dollar bills and the rest were larger. I got a five out and asked the server if I could get change. She replied that she was sorry they didn't have change. My mistake, at that moment, I had forgotten about the no cash policy. Back to the meal, the hamburgers appeared to be two fair-sized meatballs. They had been stewed in their version of demi-glace sauce. There was a small portion of what looked like potato salad, some edamame, and a vegetable salad with a vinegary dressing. I couldn't easily make out the rest of the ingredients in the list. To my taste, the meal was fairly good. Before leaving, I cleared my table of the plastic fork and disposable chopsticks. No one was at the counter, so I placed the empty plate and glass of water near the counter with the small bills - my way of apologizing for my lack of change.

    3/15/26 Got treated for my birthday today by my wife "Arigatou!"…read more This was our third time here the 1st being their grand opening day 3 years ago Definitely not our last visit Chef n server are from Japan I wish I could speak Japanese but we had a great time trying to converse in broken Japanese n English Besides, we were the only ones there for almost an hour, so we had all their attention That made for another great experience! The 19 course omakase featured so many fresh seafoods, tempura, miso soup, dessert... Way better than alot of other omakases in town For your last morsel you get to pick anything you ate earlier n have it again Could have gone w Fatty Otoro or Popping Fresh Ikura but chose Ama Ebi Why? Because it was so Juicy Sweet n only in season now!

    Incredible experience celebrating my parent's 40th wedding anniversary…read more Call ahead to make reservations - we sat at the private table not at the chef counter. The space was clean and had a more upscale feel. Did the 19-course omakase and each bite was incredible. The fish is fresh from Japan, and you can see and feel the attention to detail. My parents do not like "fancy" experiences (they've dined at 3 Michelins but prefer a more laid back experience), and this place struck the right balance. It's upscale but also familiar. Favorite bite was the chutoro and second favorite was the chawanmushi :) That chilled clam soup was something else - I wish I could have a whole bowl of that! Definitely make an effort to check them out!

    4/2026 We have loved Nana Ai Katsu from the beginning of their Ohana Hale Marketplace in Ward!…read moreAbsolutely love that they moved to Kaimuki much closer to us now! Service is always awesome LeiAnne is always friendly and smiling! Consistency... food is always top notch and focused on quality! Chef Mike always puts out quality food! There's never been an off day! Our favorites- Kasane Bento, chicken katsu bento, takoyaki, shrimp burger and when they have specials - menchi katsu burger, churry! They also have Japanese sodas for sale! They do dine in and take out. Tip: call or text ahead of going there so that you don't have to wait too long. They have a little shop inside with all kinds of Japanese snacks and toys cash only! Love that it's been consistently good from day one quality and service! Support local businesses so that they can keep in business!

    I really want to like this place. When we got our food, I was surprised by the portion size…read more However, the katsu meat is really thin and the breading is thick. The sauce they use for the katsu is a familiar taste; they use bull-dog sauce. The dressing tastes like the dressing from Sams Club. I don't remember it being this way. Maybe they changed? I feel like Koromo and Tamafuji are better. I guess maybe this place is considered a take out spot? It's pretty much serve yourself water, bottle drinks only and order at the counter. The place is clean and wasn't busy. You're most likely going to have to get street parking or go to the paid parking area and walk around a little bit. If you want an OK katsu place, I guess this is the place.
