Negitoro salmon roe and Uni
Sylvia K.

Got take out on a Friday night. It took about 30 min. Better than lining up outside. The instruction on how to eat it was on the bottom of the take out bag. So I didn't know I was supposed to wrap in seaweed and totally forgot about the seaweed. It was not as good as I expected but not bad.

Maguro Lover's

Actually kind of worth the wait! We stood in line on a Saturday evening around 6:30p (it was pretty busy) and there were about five parties ahead of us. We waited for about 40 minutes. The server that night was very attentive and helpful which kept the wait from feeling pointless or irritating. He took our order while we waited in line to be seated. I got the Maguro Don with Egg Shoyu and miso soup. My boyfriend got the Miyabi Bowl (ama ebi, scallop, ikura, negitoro, and maguro) with an upgraded crab miso soup. I really enjoyed my set! The negitoro has a really great texture to it, the flavor is spot on. Highly recommend the shoyu egg! It added so much flavor to the maguro and was really delicious on my left over rice. My boyfriend said he really enjoyed the bowl but that the crab miso soup wasn't really worth the extra cost. I would say this place is slightly expensive. We paid about $85 with tip for two people. This is a fish restaurant though and we honestly think that the negitoro bowls ($20) with the egg shoyu (additional $1.50) would be a pretty cost effective order that would give you the best of what they have to offer. Those were the items that seem truly special. The restaurant itself has very friendly small neighborhood energy kind of similar to an Izakaya. Overall clean, welcoming, and friendly. We were kind of expecting this place to be overrated but there's a reason there are still lines two years after opening! Recommend trying it at least once~

Affordable, delicious, and officially one of my go-to spots! Yes, you might have to wait in line, but the staff have always been so nice. They'll even give you a UV umbrella to use while you wait, which I really appreciate. I always go for the take now and it's SO good. I'm literally salivating just thinking about it I tried the salmon bowl once, but after getting the take, I can't go back. I've tried the crab, salmon, and regular miso. The salmon is definitely my favorite. The crab was good too, but it's kind of hard to get all the meat out. Overall, great food at an affordable price and a place that's firmly in my regular rotation now!

Bar seating with menu instructions
Dani J.

Sitting on Piikoi, across from Ala Moana Shopping Center, is a hole in the wall known for their negitoro bowls. We parked on the 3rd floor near Zara to shop around first, then just caught the elevator to the 2nd floor and walk down the stairs to the ground level, crossed to KHON side of Piikoi, then crossed the street one more time to get to the restaurant. We arrived 30-minutes after they opened, and were promptly seated at the last two remaining seats. Our server was very sweet, great customer service. My friends an I saw an instagram video of the new house made dashi, but when we sat and didn't see it on the menu, I pulled up the video again to see it just started at the Aiea location! No problem, we ordered the Ume signature bowl which was delicious either way! It is recommended that you add a seasoned egg, which we were very happy we did. I didn't read the instructions and dumped it straight into the bowl, lol. You're supposed to mix it in the sauce FIRST. The meal comes with a seaweed miso soup, sooooo goood. You do have the option to upgrade and add crab, salmon roe, prawns, but we had to go to yoga afterwards so kept it light. We'll definitely be back :)

Tokujo bowl - the crab fell to the side
Musetta S.

I've had this on my list to try for a while now and finally tried it! We ordered the tokujo and rainbow bowl. It was super fresh and delicious. It comes with seaweed miso soup. On a Monday afternoon at 11:30am there was a short wait (we were first in line but shortly after more people arrived and had to wait a bit longer). There are only maybe 10 seats. We sat on the side with just 4 seats. Note: you can get a stamp card for rewards!

Excellent meal, even as takeout. We got the Original Negitoro "Take" Bowl and everything tasted incredibly fresh. The negitoro was seasoned really well, and I definitely recommend adding the egg yolk shoyu. It added the perfect richness and brought all of the flavors together. I was also really impressed with the takeout packaging. They clearly put thought into how everything was packed so the food still looked and tasted the way it would if you were eating it there, rather than turning into a sad takeout version of the meal. Fresh fish, great flavors, and really well executed. I would absolutely order this again.

Totoya is the Hawaii version of Tokyo's Tsujihan - which is to say, they do amazing Kaisen Don! They have multiple locations but each typically have long lines as they don't do reservations or a waitlist, so I recommend going when they open. The stores are pretty small with few seating options, so I recommend keeping your group size small or being okay with splitting up. Each bowl comes with miso soup. The portions are pretty large and you come out feeling stuffed. Each of the fish are fresh and flavorful. I do prefer the kaisen don over the negitoro as you can appreciate each cut of fish more distinctly.

Totoyo is a small spot, so when we arrived around 5 pm there was already a short line. Since we had a party of four, we had to split up because there isn't much seating inside, but the food was definitely worth it! We ordered the Matsu and Rainbow Trio bowls. I'm not sure why I chose the Rainbow Trio, because if you come here, you should definitely order something with negitoro in it, it was so good! The bowl paired really nicely with the soup, and I loved that they explained the different ways to eat the meal. The sashimi bowl felt very boring when compared to the negitoro bowls. The service was amazing. Someone greeted us right away, everything moved quickly, and our food came out pretty fast despite the line. I loved the whole experience.

This place made up so much of my summer. If you suffer from post Japan depression like I do, here really brings you so much comfort I'm personally not the biggest ahi person so I LOVE their salmon bowl for only 19.99 hehe. I also like to add on a shoyu egg it's perfection. Their spicy ahi special (~20 bowls a day) is on the spicier side but mild to someone who is a spice enjoyer like me. I really like the textures. Their miso soup is very nice and flavorful, you can upgrade to their soup of the day which is just their salmon miso but that one is tasty as well! This place does fill up quickly but I've gotten mostly lucky for the times I've been so didn't have to wait very long. The food comes out very quickly and staff greets whenever entering and leaving. 10/10!

No words. This was the lunch of my dreams. We arrived around 1:30pm and had to wait about 35 minutes to get inside. There are only about 10 seats inside, but it moves pretty quickly since the food is so good, no one has a choice but to eat fast :). We ordered the Tokujo bowl which has everything on it... the negi toro mixture is so special and includes things like scallop and kazunoko. Wow. Everything was so delicious. We added the egg yolk soy sauce and upgraded to the salmon miso soup which was out of this world! The people working there were super nice and welcoming and the total price was not bad at all and completely worth it... I'll be dreaming about this one until I come back again!

Located on Piikoi St by Ala Moana, Totoya is a Japanese restaurant known for its negitoro bowls. I stopped by at lunch time and waited 15-20 minutes in line. There's no shade, so bring an umbrella or hat while you wait. There's no reservations, as it's walk-in only. When I got seated, I felt like I was transported to Japan. The staff greet you warmly when you sit. The restaurant is small, so it's important that you decide what to order right away. If it's really busy, you must preorder while standing in line outside. I got the nagomi and negitoro bowl with the egg yolk shoyu on top. The egg yolk shoyu is a must. When the bowls came out, I took a bite and was in heaven. The seafood is fresh and tasty. The textures combined with the high quality rice make a delicious meal. I got full after eating one bowl. It was so good! Highly recommend this place to locals and visitors.

Fukuju bowl
Katie M.

We arrived 15 minutes before opening, and there was no line. I would definitely recommend coming early to avoid the wait during peak dinner hours. We ordered their fukuju bowl and everything was incredibly fresh. The fish was flavorful, sweet, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. The best part was mixing the soy sauce egg yolk on the side and pouring it over the rice, which made the bowl even richer and added another layer of flavor. Also, you can scan the QR code at the restaurant to get one hour of free parking, which is a nice perk.

Maguro lover with today's miso soup
Michelle T.

This place is small but service is fast and so attentive. The food came out pretty fast as well. I got the spicy negitoro bowl and my friends got Maguro lover and Matsu. They're all so fresh and melts in your mouth. The egg yolk with soy sauce as an add on was so worth. I liked it a lot. We also added on the crab miso soup and it was okay. The soft shell crab was so soft and sweet but I can do without it next time. Definitely coming back whenever we're in Hawaii.

The highlight of our Hawaii trip! We loved Ginza Bairin so much that we went TWICE during our trip…read more We visited on our previous trip to Hawaii, and it was an absolute must-revisit this time around. If you're visiting Honolulu and love Japanese tonkatsu, do yourself a favor and put this place on your list! The absolute star of the show is the Specialty Kurobuta Pork Loin Katsu. Out of this world! Kurobuta pork is basically the Waygu of the pork world. This pork comes from the Berkshire pig which produces more flavorful, more tender pork. The pork is perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and coated in a beautifully crispy breading. Every bite is exactly what you want from a great tonkatsu. And PLEASE, don't sleep on the unlimited refills of cabbage, miso soup, and rice! The rice deserves its own shoutout. Ginza Bairin serves premium Tsuyahime white rice from Yamagata, Japan, and it is hands down the best rice I've ever had. The grains are plump, fluffy, and delicious, with that wonderful texture that makes you keep reaching for another bowl. Shamelessly admitting that I ate THREE bowls of rice, and I have absolutely zero regrets. My husband doesn't eat pork or beef, so he ordered the chicken katsu and said it was the best chicken katsu he's ever had. That's a pretty impressive endorsement, especially from someone who eats chicken katsu regularly. Families with little ones, this place is fantastic! They're incredibly kid-friendly, with child-sized cups, forks, spoons, and plates. Even better, the kids' meals come in the cutest little blue or pink car-shaped trays that my son absolutely loved. You can choose chicken katsu or shrimp tempura, served with rice, cabbage salad, macaroni salad, and a kids' juice box. It's thoughtful touches like these that make dining out with a toddler so much more enjoyable. The service was amazing, too. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. A few helpful tips: - Make a reservation ahead of time if you can, but walk-ins are welcome, too. - There are two "restaurants": the main dining room primarily accommodates reservations, while the other side is mainly for walk-ins. Don't worry, the food is impeccable on both sides! - Free validated parking for up to 1.5 hours is available at the Bank of Hawaii Waikiki Business Center underground garage, which is a huge plus in Waikiki. Ginza Bairin checks all the boxes: exceptional food, premium ingredients, generous refills, warm service, and a genuinely family-friendly atmosphere. The fact that we went twice in one trip says everything. This is one of those restaurants that stays on your must-visit list every time you return to Hawaii. Already dreaming about that pork katsu and another three bowls of rice!

They only have about 20 orders available daily, so we always make sure to make early reservations for dinner. It's a small place, so seating can be limited, and although they do take walk ins, you really should make a reservation. Free validated parking is available next door in the parking garage beneath the Bank of Hawaii building. I really like how light and crispy their tonkatsu is here. And the Kurobota katsu just melts in your mouth! If they don't have that available their Bairin Pork Tenderloin Katsu is always excellent too! My girlfriend also likes their Katsu-Dons. Sets come with free refills of rice, miso soup, cabbage, and pickles. Last night they also had several new wagyu additions to the menu that we haven't seen before, along with a wagyu beef nigiri that we had to try and thoroughly enjoyed. Service here is fast and very friendly! We have always enjoyed coming here and the staff take great care of their customers. They also offer a Kamaaina discount for locals with a Hawaii ID, which is really fantastic for people like us who live here and enjoy this place!

Seasoned, light, not greasy and a decent size? My god Experience: 5/5 I'm calling this experience because they do something different here which is you get to grind your sesame with mortar and pestle to create your sauce which I think is a genius interactive element that not only adds to food knowledge but also makes you present. You are partially eating what you create and I like that immersiveness. Part of what also makes it cool is the open kitchen concept. Being seated in the middle of the bar i was able to watch the chefs' process from start to finish which is always such fun to see. Otherwise the service was really good! Ambiance It was what I would call an elevated casual. Not too loud or feeling like you need to be very quiet. I think the price was fair for what I got and all its fixings but its definitely not cheap. With that being said though I do think its extremely worth it if you can get a seat!

For me, the must haves are their potato salad that comes with this curry seasoning (although go easy on how much seasoning you get with each bite as it's salty) and the oxtail ramen.

The standard soba size is on the smaller side and the tsuru dipping sauce doesn't taste as good as the competition. I think Kikuya has a better soba and dipping sauce and their shrimp tempura at Kikuya is twice the size and has a better flavor. Also there is a 3.5% add on for using a credit card and the prices on the receipt do not reflect the menu prices and after calling them to ask why they basically couldn't explain it. Very strange practice. The menu said that the upcharge to go from a standard to large soba size is $3.75 and the receipt said $7.50. That is quite a difference. The servers are a mixed bag. The younger ones seem more service oriented, or less burned out. I know there are lots of loyal customers, but we haven't found the food taste, quantity and price to be worth it for us. A soba lunch for 2 runs around $75 with tip, credit surcharge and tax. Kind of high for not a spectacular meal.
