    This month's $9.95 Special
    Lance W.

    Okay. This visit was as good as the first visit. Sat me and took my order right away. Miso soup was good. Not watery. As usual.. they took my order and wanted the tip in advance. Told the server about my bad experience from the last two visits and would leave a cash tip when I'm done. He said the. Tip needed to be paid with the bill, and he would insure that I would experience excellence this time. Yes, this visit was excellent. I hope I don't have to mention this everytime I visit. He also showed me how to turn down the fire, but preferred that I ask one of the servers. Next time if they forget me or my order, to bring it to their attention right away. I shouldn't have to be watching to make sure I wasn't forgotten.

    I understand the hype of Yakiniku Like! When I went here to have dinner with my friend we both got one of the monthly specials and it was a good amount of food for the price! The set we ordered came with some sort of thinly sliced beef and chicken, and I liked all the sides- it made the meal more filling. They also bring your order out really fast! The meat was pretty good quality and I appreciated that the portion was just right without having to worry about getting your money's worth like at an AYCE bbq spot. This place is definitely worth checking out for your Yakiniku fix!

    Late lunch with coworkers and this long awaited visit was met with high marks! Had to work an event downtown and were on the hunt for a place that was still open for lunch well past two pm. Spotted this place (which we'd been meaning to visit) and were happy to see they don't close between lunch and dinner! It was well laid out with tables, a small grill to share, and sauce bottles between tables to share (they try to bring you new bottles between guests, as they tend to get sticky between uses). They will take down menu screens between the conjoined aisle if you have a group larger than two. Otherwise, there are four-top (or more) seating areas against the walls, where two guests are on cushioned stools and the other two are seated on the cushioned bench. From the entrance, there are seating areas on the left and right. There was a party on the right side, so I initially rated the noise level as loud. However, on the left where we were seated, even as guests kept on arriving (for even later lunches or early dinners), it was nice and quiet! The initial thrill was the February special, which the gals ordered - ONLY $9.95 for 150 gms kalbi and a free serving of chicken teriyaki; unlimited rice (I never finish mine at other meals, but this time, I ate a tad more than one big bowl!), a well filled miso soup with goodies in it, green salad (with cukes and grape tomatoes, and a choice of yuzu or sesame dressing-we loved the sesame - and later, another guest said the Yuzu was also great on the meat-so we'll ask for that next time!); and a bowl of Kim Chee! The boss ordered the $15.95 special, with 200 gms kalbi and 100 gms chicken teriyaki and the same sides we were offered in the $9.95 set. Each of us ate our entire servings, and shared the boss's "one more free rice bowl", congratulating ourselves on such a great choice to visit, with guarantees that we're coming back for our birthday lunches! (Okay, I did give some of my food to the boss, because I was quite full!) The seasonings/ sauces included a lemon juice, garlic soy, spicy sweet, and salt and pepper. Boss tried them all, my co worker also enjoyed the salt and pepper, and I loved the garlic soy and spicy sweet sauces. And yes, I poured the garlic soy sauce on my rice, and with my meats, resulting in my unusual rice bowl wipeout. They do have beverages and desserts, see the fun menu! Dinner must be awesome-we've seen the line out the door after work! Oh, and they even have a curry sauce add on due $2.50. Service is truly attentive with frequent water refills and check ins, too! Heard the tonkotsu garlic ramen is also good (when we went back to the office to tell others of the great experience, LOL they'd already been there several times)! Restroom keys are at the entrance, restrooms are out the door to the left, there were two stalls in the women's rr, which was bright and clean. Orders are taken and payment is made via a handheld device prior to dining. Easy peasy, and Mahalo to the boss for treating us after our very successful, but long day at the event downtown! See the pics, and we're already planning our return!

    Dinner on a budget? Yakiniku Like is where to go! Genuinely surprised at how reasonable the prices are for some of the sets here. I found it really interesting that you pay for your food first to order and then they bring it to you. Service was quick, quality of the meats was pretty good, and they have a good array of sauces to choose from on the side. There's a small parking lot out front but I believe it shares the lot with the massage place and Domino's next door. There's street parking around the area as well. I liked that since you paid first, it's a quick exit to get out after you're full hehe

    A friend recommended this great yakiniku place on Keeaumoku close to Beretania. We went there ahead of opening time and there was already a line before 11:00 a.m. That was a sure sign. Parking is limited so try to park around the area or carpool. We ordered the mega special currently on sale. It came with ban chan, excellent quality rice and incredible beef and pork belly cuts. You grill it yourself and all the sauces are killer good! You order off of the the menu link from the QR code on the table. Everything is promptly brought to your table and you're set to grill! If you don't make time to stand in line to go here, you will be missing out on not only really good yakiniku but also a great deal!!

    Triple set, Kalbi Pork belly & Teri chicken. Along with rice, miso soup, salad with dressing (yuzu and my fave seasame)

    Here's a new place to try! New and different from Gen's and Sikdorak. It's off the corner of Keeamoku and Young Street. You can't miss it. Dining is like what you see in Japan where you sit and you're separated by cut off sections. Can't describe it but it's pretty cool. We were welcomed and serviced by Angelo who was so nice and friendly. The ordering of food is easy... scan q card it's by sets, Ala carte and separates and pay by card. They don't take cash. Once paid then the order goes in and quick your served. Wow! It's so cool. You can order more if you'd like but then have to pay by card again which we didn't mind. Then once you're done you can leave. This place is great for date night and girls night out.

    I love this place!! Very affordable for the same price you would pay for a decent platelunch you could get a great yakinuku meal and if you get their special for $9.95 (different special each month) even with tip it would be cheaper than a plate lunch plus sometimes its fun to cook and eat. The staff is always on point and mostly young adults which is refreshing to see the younger working with a great service attitude. I always enjoy coming here. The only issue is parking is always mento but cant have everything but its all good!!

    First time here with the cousins!

    It was our first time here and the staffs were all so nice. Oh my gosh! The MEAT was soooo good and of great quality. Very juicy and soft regardless of it you got it with or without sauce. We were lucky to come in during their "February Specials" because the portion was great size and value! We ordered 5 sets for 4 people haha (almost 6 if we count all the small additional items) The atmosphere was nicer than I imagined. It was nicely lit and not too bright, and the interior was mostly black colored with some wood. Very cozy yet it has a lively ambience. Casual yet feels fancy. PS: Daniel was so awesome and he let us try 2 orders of meat on the house. This small gesture sealed the deal for us to come back again with more people. Thank you so much!

    This is one of the newer yakiniku restaurants on Keeaumoku that's located in the old Green Papaya (and iykyk, old Champions). Parking is limited with a very small lot but there is street parking and nearby options if needed. There's no reservation system; you walk in, write your name, party size, and wait. When we arrived, there was no one at the front, no greeting. Eventually, a server came by, checked the list and called our party. Once seated, there was no explanation on how this restaurant operates. No welcome, no "have you dined with us before", nothing. We had to observe the table next to us to figure it out. Everything is done digitally; you scan a QR code, order on your phone, and pay immediately on your phone (note: they don't take cash). The biggest issue was the grill. Ours kept turning off and instead of moving us, staff repeatedly kept coming back just to turn it on. At one point, they gave up and said they'll wait till the food comes to turn it on and the grease from the meat will keep the fire going. As for the food, prices are cheap for yakiniku, and you get what you pay for. I ordered the January special ($9.95). While the photo made it look generous, the portions were small, like 3 pieces of teriyaki chicken and very thin sliced kalbi, small. The meat quality was decent, but the small portions and unreliable grill made the experience unenjoyable. We also found ourselves stressing about making sure the chicken was thoroughly cooked. Service was very minimal and lacked warmth. No real check-ins, no asking if we needed anything, and some staff seemed annoyed when issues came up. The main positive is the ambiance: the restaurant is clean, modern, and visually appealing. This restaurant seemed to be designed for a fast turnover rather than a relaxed sit-down meal. I would only recommend it if you're on a budget, want minimal interaction, and need a quick yakiniku fix.

    Come here for a nice affordable meal, but also expect a wait. I was here with a party of five, and we waited about thirty minutes given how busy this place was. Given this place's busyness, I expect it to be really good. Yakiniku Like has a lively atmosphere, perfect for a Friday evening with friends celebrating the end of the workweek. There was an October special (when I visited in October) which was a genuinely and surprisingly good deal. I however wanted more meat to try so I got a beef lover's set. It is very fun to grill here, and you must grill your own meat, hence yakiniku (焼肉). The grill setup is a bit different from what I am accustomed to with, but still user-friendly and good for cooking your meat. Service was quick, but I guess it should be since you are cooking the rest of the meal yourself.

    Monthly special
    Herman Y.

    Food affordable and tastes great. The monthly specials is the good deal. Highly recommend their monthly specials. Staff are friendly and service good. Place is clean, especially the grill. You place your order by scanning the QR code on the table and then paying it. This includes tips. First time paying for a meal and tips before getting the food.

    Jeannie K.

    Came here to try the 9.95 special and it comes with a lot of food! You order via QR code and service was really fast. The entree set came with miso soup, salad, rice and kimchi. I highly recommend adding the curry on the side to eat with your rice and adding sesame oil on the side was delicious! You can definitely order more meat ala carte if you are still hungry but the day meal filled me up and I didn't need to order more. If you are a big eater or starving, I'd recommend ordering more or getting ramen at the end to fill yourself up

    Menu!

    Great food like always. Fast service despite being busy. Casual ambiance. It was packed today. Had to wait a little for parking.

    Is there a time limit for how long one can dine?

    Time limits are usually applied to AYCE places. This is no an AYCE place. Just be mindful as with any restaurant. Ear, and leave. This is not a social gathering place.

    What is the monthly October special?

    200 grams of Kalbi short plate and 50 grams of chicken. Comes with rice, salad, kimchi, and miso soup

    Do they take reservations?

    I don't think so.

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.

Even with a decent amount of seating, there is minimal space so they ask that you leave your strollers outside. When we called the first time saying our daughter was asleep they arranged everything in order to fit the stroller inside. The second visit, I had an even bigger stroller because it was a double stroller for my daughter and son. When I said my son was asleep they again, quickly tried to arrange space for the stroller until we realized he woke up. I truly appreciate them being so welcoming because I've come across many establishments that are not especially towards kids. As for the food, the first time the tonkatsu was a miss for me. I was comparing it to a popular spot on the island that books out months in advance that I tried just before my first visit here and it just seemed a lot more oily and not as tender. We were actually going to eat at the other business again but with two kids and walking non stop on our trip already, I was so happy we had an option closer to us. Both times, we were coming from Hilton Hawaiian Village. They have the cutest car bento boxes for the kids, and they let you choose the car color. My daughter loved the mini umbrella that came with her plate. My son was days before turning 1 year old so a lot of things ended up on the floor and even then, they were so kind about it. The best thing though for my husband and I AND my son, was the loco moco which we were told was limited and a new item for dinner since it was primarily only served as a lunch option? The flavor of the gravy alone was sooo good and rich. My son ended up eating my whole portion of rice and gravy with no crumbs left behind or on the floor lol. The other katsu items we ordered were nice and lightly coated and were not heavily oily at all. The only thing that I felt lacked was their curry especially in comparison to their gravy. I would definitely recommend coming here and I can't wait to come back. That was one of our favorite new dishes this trip and we come every year!

I got the pork loin with shrimp combo (the mixed portion instead of the large), and everything was perfectly crispy, flavorful, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. One of my favorite parts was grinding the sesame seeds myself in the little ceramic bowl with the wooden grinder, then mixing in the tonkatsu sauce. It made the whole meal feel interactive and intentional, and the sauce was SO good on the pork loin. I also ended up getting a refill of the cabbage because the sesame dressing they served with it was honestly addictive. I went around 8 PM to avoid the dinner rush and was pleasantly surprised I got a table pretty easily. Taking my time with the smaller mixed portion made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable instead of rushed. Overall, really delicious food, great atmosphere, and one of my favorite meals I've had in Waikiki so far. Pictured are the before and after of my dish. Probably a better "go with friends place" than a date.

I've been to Mitch's a few times and when I saw that they opened up an Izakaya next door, I knew I had to try it and made a reservation on Yelp. Izakaya Mitch's specializes more in cooked dishes while the other side is more about the fresh / raw fish. But that didn't stop us from ordering the assorted sashimi. All the fish were from Japan and yes you can taste the difference. The fatty tuna was obviously my favorite but even the regular tuna and the hamachi was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. Plus, it comes with real wasabi. Not horseradish, real wasabi. For the cooked dishes we got the hokkaido crab tempura with a side of matcha salt. One of the best tempuras I've ever had. The kamameshi, a rice dish with their fish of the day. We got the half order and it's kinda like a bibimbap where they mix the rice for you at your table.

    TL;DR This might be…read moremy favorite Japanese restaurant in town. Undisputed soba champion. ----- I'm surprised I haven't written a review for i-naba yet. This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy! If you're looking for the best soba and awesome tempura, this is your spot!!!

    Everytime I asked my Japanese clients which Japanese restaurant they enjoyed most in Honolulu,…read moreInaba consistently came up. And now I know why. I finally had lunch here a couple weeks ago and damn was my tempura and soba set broke da mout. The soba is housemade with a chewy consistency that I love. I had it cold with the dipping sauce and wow wow wow. So good. My friends suggested I get the shrimp and vegetable tempura as well which amazingly stayed crispy the whole time I savored each bite. Probably 30 minutes. Light crisp batter on perfectly cooked shrimp and veggies. Damn it was good. The service was great as well and I cannot wait to go back. Nice warm atmosphere and there's a free parking lot. It gets busy during lunch and dinner, so get there early or make a reservation. Enjoy!
