A great new spot in Waikiki. So glad that they are open for takeout during these quarantine times! If you are a shrimp lover then you need to check them out. The food: Shrimp cocktail- perfectly cooked shrimp drenched in a yummy tomato based sauce. It has a little kick to it but not super spicy. It comes with some crackers, but I just ended up drinking it straight from the container because it was so tasty! Shrimp curry- again, perfectly cooked shrimp in a curry based sauce. The curry was very flavorful with lots of spices. I can't handle spicy dishes and this curry did have a nice kick, but I still loved it! Shrimp avocado salad- Delish! Huge pieces of avocado, shrimp, and a yummy Asian style dressing. Hungarian short rib stew- Very tasty! The meat was very tender and the stew was delicious. I look forward to trying more dishes on their menu! Happy eating! read more

Everything at this place was freshly made and very tasty. We had the Potato Shrimps and the Ebi Curry. The portions were very generous and everything is prepared fresh and very tasty. The ambiance is also nice, there's a piano there where people can come and play at their leisure. The only problem is that there are few tables and the alley can get swifts of smells from other places (some not nice) but a to-go order would solve that little detail. The food is amazing!! read more

Garlic shrimp was beyond delicious. Coconut shrimp was good but not as good as the garlic. They're French fries were perfect, with the amount of crisp. Only reason it didn't get 5/5 stars is due to the staff. She didn't seem too thrilled to work there nor gave any suggestions. read more

One of my favorite spots in Waikiki. I wanted garlic shrimp but since I had it the day before I ordered the thai shrimp curry and I was not disappointed. It happened to be my favorite meal on the island! It was unexpected and glad I found this place.

Delicious and perfectly cooked Garlic Shrimp over rice. Tons of garlic, with a balance of flavors, and not too salty. This spot beats the North Shore trucks/stands that I have tried for sure! The shrimps are bigger and are presumably cooked to order, so they are not overcooked. The potato wrapped shrimps were a good snack. I am glad I found this restaurant. It I is located in a courtyard, and would be missed from the main road if I did not seek it out. They sold out of the prime rib loco moco, so I will have to return to try it out. read more

Great quality food for reasonable prices. Came here laat month on a Wednesday evening and Friday morning, somewhat different vibes. Wednesday evening wasn't as busy, there was a cook in the back and a server on her phone in the front. However, on a Friday morning, there was ONE person who was both cashier AND cook. Wait time was obviously a little longer on Friday, but this sweet man works so hard and checks in to see if you like your food. Because of this wonderful service and the amazing food (spam, eggs, french toast, Portugese sausage, hash, rice), rating 5 stars and definitely recommend! read more

The garlic shrimp here is so good! I was searching for garlic shrimp in Waikiki on Yelp and came across EbiNomi. I usually head up to the North Shore for good garlic shrimp, but I think I found my new spot! This small and unassuming restaurant is located by Marugame Udon. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a few hours closed in between so double check the hours. I tried the garlic shrimp, prime rib loco moco, and coconut shrimp with fries. The garlic shrimp was so flavorful and loaded with garlic bits. Also, the shrimp is peeled, so I don't have to worry about peeling the shrimp or eating the shells (which sometimes scratches up my throat). The prime rib loco moco is delicious too! The prime rib slices are so tender and actually flavorful since they cook it in au jus. There was also a good amount of gravy too! The coconut shrimp was pretty standard - nothing special, but the fries are crispy and tasty! Next time, I'll be back to try the shrimp curry! They import the curry from Thailand, and it seems like a lot of people like it. Overall, a great spot to get your shrimp fix. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming. Mahalo! read more

If you want garlic shrimp , you can make the trek to North Shore, but if you're in Waikiki, you don't have to! Try the garlic shrimp at EbiNomi. As locals would say, get choke (plenty) garlic, which I love, and it flavors the rice underneath. Ono! EbiNomi also has plenty other dishes to choose from like loco moco, prime rib, short ribs, fish and chips, fried oysters and curry. read more

EbiNomi Ratings: 4/5 Food: 4.25/5 - My last meal before heading home, so we decided to go with something hearty and homey. They are known for their Loco Moco, but I wasn't a fan, instead I got the Hungarian Beef and it's quite tasty and hearty. My boyfriend and I ate at the airport and was satisfied. See the description below of the last item I got in Hawaii. - Hungarian Beef [GET]: Beef short ribs and chunks are premium quality with a good mixture of lean and fatty meats. It was tender, easy to chew, and flavorful. It comes in a nice thick sauce with organic carrots and skin-on potatoes cooked perfectly right. The potatoes was starchy, chewy, and soft, wonderful texture and not mushy at all. My favorite was their sauce. It is cooked for 48 hours in their Hungarian secret wine and tomato sauce. There's a slight tanginess from the tomato and savories from the short ribs; this dish is braised wonderfully. The double rice was clutch too, and make sure to mixed it up with the wine sauce. Ambiance: 4/5 - Located next to Matcha Maiko and near Marukame Udon in Waikiki. EbiNomi is small shop with some outdoor seating area, but gets quite crowded, so expect it to be take-out only. It is a tourist spot, but a great spot for something quick, casual, and not that expensive. Only metered parking nearby, so make sure to walk a bit. Price: 3.75/5 - The Hungarian Beef was $18.95 before tax and tips. Prices are slightly higher, but reasonable and decent portion sizes. I think it is still sort of worth it, since I get to try something new and unique before I head out of Hawaii, but nothing too mind blowing. Service: 4/5 - The staffs are helpful, patience, and nice. They give us a rundown of the menu, because there's tons of options. The service is great and fast, our food came out within 15 minutes after ordering it. We got it for to-go and the containers are wrapped neatly and nicely, so it was easy for us to carry and eat on the road. BLUF: Tasty local Hawaiian food, perfect for the tourist experience in Waikiki. I would recommend trying out the Hungarian Beef and skip on the Loco Mono, but shouldn't be on the top of your food list. It is a quick and casual spot if you have a busy day. Lastly if I decide to come back to Hawaii again, I will return and try some of their brunch items. read more

We had the chicken curry and the fried squid. The curry was really flavorful, it was slightly sweet, but less sweet than Thai curry, and more creamy than Japanese curry. I really enjoyed it, probably one of the best tasting curry's I've had. Generous portion with plenty of mostly white meat chicken and some veggies mixed it. The fried squid was crispy on the outside, pretty good. The batter doesn't have that much seasoning, so I had to ask for dipping sauce- they gave me a sweet chili sauce that was decent. read more

A super hidden gem. If you can't find the place take the time to look for this delicious spot! Unfortunately Hawaii has a 48 covid test for restaurants and today is our last day so EbiNomi was our next choice. When we walked up to the restaurant we were greeted by the sweetest server who answered our questions right off the bat. She knew exactly how to explain each item on the menu and took her time with us. Definitely had the aloha spirit. I ordered the Nomi Nomi (stuffed French toast) and my husband ordered the Prime Rib LocoMoco. There's a breakfast menu that is served until 11a and then they also have the all day menu. The menu also offers portagee sausage, spam or bacon and eggs and shrimp and rice. Now I must say, I'm super impressed with the French toast. Not all places who just started a breakfast menu can pull off an insane French toast. Nice crust from the dip on the outside and soft gooey Nutella flavor on the inside. What impressed me even more was it was like a Nutella French toast sandwich! Two pieces of bread fried together and stayed together! Being a lover of anything breakfast I must say this by far blew my mind. Although I'm easily amused, this takes the toast lol. I couldn't resist my husbands meal of Prime Rib loco moco and being from Vegas prime rib isn't far and few between. Each bite was equal with gravy, prime rib (a little bit of fat), egg and rice. The prime rib was juicy and buttery melt between your teeth goodness. It wasn't chewy or over done and they serve the prime rib cut up for an easier consumption. Not overly seasoned with each bite you can definitely taste the quality of the meat. The egg was a perfect over easy (typically places are incapable of making eggs the right way) I just want to thank Basalt for turning us away or else we wouldn't have found this tucked up gem. Enjoy a little bit of aloha with the owner and the food. read more

We got the garlic shrimp and the prime rib loco moco. To be completely transparent I don't care for locomoco - it's very "Salisbury steak" for me. That being said, the meat was very soft and the portion was generous. The garlic shrimp was also very good! It was hot, good amount of food, and exactly what you would expect. Having tried Giovanni and this place - it's similar without the long wait. Service was nice and quick! If you're looking for quick eats at Waikiki I would recommend. read more

I came here twice in a row! The first night I ordered the garlic shrimp. It was pretty good, but not memorable 7.5/10. The next night I ordered the Extra Spicy shrimp curry and my partner ordered the spicy chicken curry. Both were DELICIOUS. I personally preferred the chicken curry over the shrimp curry ONLY because I prefer my shrimp with the shell on to lock in the sweet flavor. But besides that point, I highly recommend ordering both. The curry was perfectly seasoned. And I was provided with a side of chili flakes to increase the spice level to how I like it. 5 stars and will return read more

This is an unassuming takeout place and tucked inside a courtyard with a few other eateries. The garlic shrimp here is decadent, shrimps we're huge and best of all deshelled for convenient eating. The garlic butter is so delicious and they give you a nice serving of that to coat every bite of the rice.

There is plenty of garlic and rice to accompany it! The spicy chicken curry had a good kick and was well seasoned. We came by a second time for the dine in bogo entree event and it was great!

Wow is the prime rib delicious. Incredibly tender, flavorful, and high quality prime-grade beef. Amazing take on a classic. I'm fairly confident there are subtle amounts of Asian ingredients in the bark and au jus. Super delicious. The owner was so friendly and showed us the whole roast before we got our portions (we ordered 4 on Friday for Sunday pick-up). Really liked the included corn and horseradish sauce as well (although it would be nice if there was an optional spicier / stronger version of the sauce). Coconut shrimp was good. Included fries could be crispier. This will definitely be a staple for us on future Oahu trips! Will have to try the garlic shrimp next time! read more

The shrimp plates here are way better than the over-hyped Giovanni's shrimp truck in North Shore, and you don't even have to drive far for it if you're staying in Waikiki! This is honestly a hidden gem right behind Marugame Udon. We initially wanted Marugame, but the line was just ridiculously long and we were starving. So we walked around and chanced upon this little eatery. After placing our orders, they have a couple tables outside for outdoor dining so you don't need to get your vaccination card checked. The shrimp plates here are quite big and you can share between 2 people. Also the quality of shrimp is fantastic and fresh! You can just tell by how tender they are. This place is definitely a bang for your buck and a must try! read more

This is a hidden gem tucked away in Waikiki. Unfortunately, there's no parking unless you can find street parking. Easily walkable from International Marketplace or Royal Hawaiian Center. I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. Tucked away on Kuhio right by Matcha Cafe Maiko is this little takeout place that serves comfort from different parts of the world. They have some tables set up outside so you can dine in which is what we did. The food did take about 20 minutes. The menu is small. You can choose from an individual or Ohana size for most items except the prime rib. We got the individual sized Ebi à la King to share which had jumbo shrimps (peeled) in rich, cream sauce with mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. I really enjoyed it. The best part was that the shrimp was already peeled and huge! The sauce was flavorful but not too creamy or heavy. We also asked and were told we can call ahead which is what we will try to do next time and try to get takeout. Our plate lunch was about $16 + tax. To me the prices were reasonable for what you get and the quality. I like stews and comfort food so I want to try the Hungarian short ribs next time which kind of looked like an upgraded beef stew. ******** time for comfort food parking is rough but food's good make sure to go try read more

This little gem was a surprise to find. Not only was their concept of having all these different culture and places, their comfort food available to you but it's in a location where after lunch/dinner you could grab dessert and a drink all within stumbling distance from each other. Jasmine was a fantastic help and super friendly. The knife was sharp and strong enough to cut through the prime rib (only available on Sundays) and there is plenty of rice that comes with each dish. I don't find very many places like this where I want to go back to try everything else on the menu, so you can expect me back here on my next trip to Oahu. Ps. I did love how they designed their wet napkin logo like a condom! read more

Ordered our must-haves: Short Ribs Pipikaula Style, Fried Butterfish Collar, Luau Squid, Long Rice Chicken, Lomi Salmon, Lau Lau, Poi, Mac Salad, Rice, n' their complimentary Haupia, Onions, n' Salt. Food so Ono I highly recommend, this very well-known local Hawaiian eatery again n' again!" SERVICE: fast n' fully staffed INTERIOR: spacious with limited seating EXTERIOR: gets hot, have water n' benches available WAIT TIME: came on a Thursday afternoon n' surprisingly wasn't too busy. After joining the waitlist that you sign in through the provided iPad, I would say 30 mins before getting seated. PARKING: very small free lot in front, limited spaces OVERALL COMMENTS: haven't had Helena's in a while so I've been craving it. Each visit is satisfying n' the food is always so good. I can't remember the amount of pieces they used to give for a large order of Short Ribs Pipikaula Style, it seemed smaller this time, but either way you gotta order it along with the Fried Butterfish Collar. Their Luau Squid is so creamy n' delicious just like everything else, all Ono. You can't go wrong bc this is truly local Hawaiian food at its finest!

I visited Helena's Hawaiian Food while vacationing in Oahu. I haven't been to Hawaii in years and…read moreall my friends raved about Helena's. I had to try it for myself. I expected the restaurant to have a long wait time, but we got lucky. There was no wait and my family and I were seated right away. As soon as we sat down, we were served with cups of ice cold water perfect for the hot humid day. We ordered Menu B which came with Kalua Pig and Pipikaula Short ribs with your choice of sides which we chose rice. We also ordered another plate of the short ribs and added haupia and mac salad. I wish I got the server's name, she was so cool but she explained all the food and how to eat the side dishes. They served sliced onions with pink salt and that was delicious. The short ribs were thick, tender, savory and had the perfect amount of fat. The flavor was addicting. The kalua pig was really good, perfect amount of salt and smoke flavor. The mac salad really well with all the food we ordered and that alone was already good. The haupia for dessert was the best way to end the meal. Everything was just heaven. Parking was easy since it was during the week and early in the afternoon, but there is street parking. The restaurant was clean, all the workers were really nice, and very attentive from start to finish. My sister and I split the bill, so I paid my portion and added a tip. The person processing my payment told me they had refunded my tip because gratuity was already included. How awesome is that?! I'm sure many other restaurants wouldn't have mentioned it and would have just accepted the extra tip. That level of honesty and service is what keeps people coming back, and it's one of the many reasons I would highly recommend Helena's to my friends and family who haven't been there yet. I plan to visit Hawaii again before the holidays and I'm definitely going to be eating here again. Mahalo to everyone at Helena's!

The restaurant is quite busy during weekday lunch, but the tables cleared pretty quickly. Two of us shared the sampler ($33.99 for pork lau lau, compared to $31.99 for chicken lau lau), although our server said that some individuals order it for themselves. The sampler came with lomi lomi salmon, squid lu'au, chicken long rice, poi, lau lau (pork or chicken), sweet potato and poi. It was filling for the two of us. We thought we might add something else à la cart, but we didn't need anything more. So good. We were surprised by the sweetness of the coconut milk in the squid lu'au. Everything was yummy!

And we just can't go here anymore unless changes are made! We used to prefer them over Zippy's, but now they are less than 7-Eleven quality, while charging higher-end prices for the neighborhood. We have given them many chances, hoping it was just a fluke, but we have repeatedly been disappointed. Their chicken has become chewy and fatty, their rice is mediocre, and condiments such as mayonnaise are stripped down to the bare minimum quantity. Chile is poured so lightly that it is practically a minuscule amount. And their prices have continued to rise. I don't know if greedy people took over the restaurant who just don't care anymore, or what is going on. I remember when I used to take people here, and they would be impressed with the quality and quantity--plates just heaping with good cuts of meat, noodles, and rice. Those days are no more. As they say in Japan, the price performance is poor. Furthermore, their staff is rude. I can only imagine it was an owner working this day because it was a face I haven't seen that often. An older gentleman who appeared to be of Okinawan descent, working the cashier register, accosted us because I was privately discussing with my family about splitting different items with them. We were all ordering something, so he wasn't losing any money, but he told us about how prices are double in Waikīkī. First of all, it is rude to interrupt your customers that way. Secondly, we don't go to Waikīkī or care about Waikīkī. What happened to serving the locals? Third, Waikīkī has an assortment of restaurants, prices, and qualities, and they shouldn't be how you base your services. Lastly, I guarantee I could find a better deal in Waikīkī if I wanted to. Next time you're in the area, just go get a $6 bento or a $5 burrito from 7-Eleven next door. I assure you, the price performance and experience will be better. If Rainbow Drive-In is in the business of comparing themselves to other things, let's compare them to 7-Eleven and at least try to be better than them, right? I can get mochiko chicken from 7-Eleven for $6.99 that is similar in portion size and better quality. Meanwhile, they are serving their fatty, dry chicken for $16.75. Highway robbery! And they are not fancy, with their dirty picnic tables and plastic cutlery. They are just a step above a food truck, if that. Save yourself from the hype. They have gone downhill like a landslide. Go elsewhere.

Sure enough after 10 mins, the ice cream guy asked the cashier whose it was and at that time was our number called. Sadly, the ice cream had already started to melt.

The owner was very friendly and took the time to recommend dishes for us, including the laulau and lechon kawali. We also ordered the BBQ short ribs. Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.

I heard about Ebinomi through social media and thought to give it a try yesterday. Took me a while to find it, it is in Waikiki, hidden away behind Marukame Udon on Kūhiō. I got there after dark and the store has a nice appeal with a colorful logo and digital signage. They have two tables for their customers in a courtyard setting and it was quite pleasant eating there under an umbrella and music from a wireless speaker. Now the food. I had their butter-garlic shrimps which they call it Ebikahuku. It was almost perfect: the shrimps were peeled, and cooked just right, the butter garlic sauce was yummy. I said 'almost' perfect because I am a real garlic person and I would like to see more garlic, but extra garlic was not available as an option. Taste-wise this is way better than anything I have tasted on the Northshore (except for the garlic). My partner had their Hungarian Beef Stew. Despite my puzzling question why a shrimp place would offer a beef dish but once I had a taste I understood why. This was not like all the beef stew I have ever had, the sauce was delicious and the beef was fork tender but has various textures that made the experience interesting. The vegetables were cooked just right also. Very happy with the dinners, if we had closed our eyes when we ate we could easily think we were in a fine dining restaurant (but without the big bill). We are definitely going back again to try the other stuff they offer. read more

Ebinomi is a fantastic spot for anyone craving delicious Hawaiian-style garlic shrimp. Ordering was quick and straightforward at the counter, and although the restaurant primarily operates as a takeout-style establishment, there are several outdoor tables where you can comfortably enjoy your meal. Service was friendly and efficient, making it an ideal stop for a casual meal. **Spicy Garlic Shrimp: 5/5** This was easily one of the best garlic shrimp plates I had in Hawaii. A generous serving of fresh, perfectly cooked shrimp came conveniently pre-peeled, making the meal effortless to enjoy. Coated in an irresistibly savory garlic butter sauce, every bite was packed with rich, garlicky goodness. A strong kick of spice brought plenty of heat, while the buttery sauce tempered it with a smooth, velvety finish. Deeply satisfying from start to finish, this was everything I could have hoped for in a Hawaiian garlic shrimp plate. Ebinomi is everything a great Hawaiian garlic shrimp spot should be. With exceptional ingredients, bold flavors, and consistently excellent execution, it's a must-visit for anyone craving one of Hawaii's signature dishes. read more

I saw this on the paper so I thought to give this new place a try on my last few days in Hawaii. The restaurant is a little hidden inside a courtyard behind the famous udon place. I came to try their shrimps but seeing chicken ala king I just had to try that, I have not had that in years my mum used to make it but unfortunately she no longer cooks due to health problems. It was absolutely delicious even better than mum's. The sauce was rich and creamy, and plenty of chicken chunks and vegetables. It was so rich I could only eat half and saved the rest for the next day. I also had their shrimp cocktail which was also outstanding - refreshing and three large shrimps inside, great value. And the shrimps were cooked just right still had that 'crunch'. Hope they do well and will try again when I come back next year, or perhaps they come to the UK? My only complaint is that I was enjoying my meal on one of their tables in their cozy little courtyard and there was a guy smoking right next to the NO SMOKING sign.....how inconsiderate! read more

While exploring Waikiki, I stumbled upon Ebi Nomi, tucked away in a less conspicuous part of the area. Intrigued, I decided to try their chicken karaage, a Japanese style fried chicken. The presentation was promising, with the chicken arriving hot and freshly prepared in a clean box, suggesting it was made to order. However, my initial impressions were quickly overshadowed by the quality of the chicken itself. Upon tasting, it was evident that the chicken was overfried. The texture was devoid of any juiciness, and it lacked distinctive flavors, feeling excessively oily instead. This made the meal somewhat unpleasant, and I found myself regretting the choice as it left me feeling guilty about my indulgence. While the meal was technically edible, it was far from memorable. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend the chicken karaage from Ebi Nomi, nor am I likely to return for a second visit. There are certainly other culinary delights in Waikiki that promise a more satisfying and enjoyable dining experience. read more

I recently visited EbiNomi in Waikiki beach and was blown away by the quality of their food. The highlight of my meal was definitely the ebi gyoza, which were some of the best I've ever had. The dumpling skin was thin and crispy, and the filling was packed with succulent shrimp and flavorful herbs. I also tried the spicy tuna roll, which was equally delicious. The tuna was fresh and had just the right amount of heat, and the rice was perfectly seasoned. The portion sizes were generous, and the presentation was beautiful. The service at EbiNomi was also top-notch. The staff were friendly and attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself was cozy and inviting, with a modern and chic decor. Overall, I highly recommend EbiNomi to anyone looking for excellent Japanese cuisine in Waikiki beach. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the inviting atmosphere make this a must-visit restaurant. read more

Moved to Waikiki recently and since then my wife and I been having a hard time finding good places to eat because of the COVID virus.We usually hit up Cheesecake Factory but my wife found this place and right off the back I noticed they had a dish called ebi Kahuku. So I took the time to check it out to see if it met the standards of the famous Kahuku shrimp trucks. And it did! It was really good. The shrimps were big not over cooked and had lots of taste. I'm looking forward to trying out other dishes. They have a nice lil set up outside to sit and eat and it's clean. Oh by the way the prices were really fare. And they also had great customer service.

A casual - order at the counter and get a number, find a table and they'll bring you your order - kind of restaurant. They made easy accommodations for my friend who has a dairy allergy and subbed oil for everything with butter. I got perfectly crispy fried shrimp. The fries were crispy, the soda is from a fountain (the best). We came here more times than I'd like to admit in a one week span - and each time we got a warm welcome from the staff who remembered us from the previous day. There's typically a line down the street by dinner time - so try to beat the rush!

Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp

It's been ages since we've been out to Kahuku so decided to try the Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp at Ala…read moreMoana. They took over the spot that Singma tei had next to Jamba Juice. This food court is always packed though so if possible find a seat before you order food. Downfall... order took almost 20 minutes and there was no one waiting infront of me. At least everything came out hot and fresh. The hot and spicy was a little more spicy than I remembered but still so good, it comes with rice , cabbage dressing- Asian or ranch and an orange lol I think it's supposed to be a lemon or not sure if that is the replacement for the pineapple. I did miss the pineapple that's usually in the plates in Kahuku. Shrimp was nicely cooked as usual , great taste love the garlic rice. Also tried the garlic chicken basil with the spicy mayo and it was good! Reminded us of Taiwanese fried chicken! It was good and only $8.99 side order for the week. Nice touch that they you can take a glove to eat so you don't get your hands dirty and wet naps if you don't take gloves!

A MUST VISIT! I'm writing this review as a repeat customer. I've tried Fumi's when they were in the…read moreNorth Shore and I've tried their food twice now at the Ala Moana location and it's delicious! I came this time because I really wanted to check out their Garlic Basil Chicken. If anyone has ever had TapEx Taiwanese style popcorn chicken in San Diego, then you will be very pleased with this dish. I love the balance of spice, texture, and smothering their delicious spicy garlic butter shrimp sauce on my rice. Check it out y'all!

My bf and I both got the $35 meal sets. I also ordered a frozen beer and I thought the whole thing would be a slushie but it's only the top. Anyway it was fun and delicious. Service - no complaints. Workers were nice and things went smoothly Ambiance - lots of outdoor seating. It was casual and we had no wait.

What can you expect from a touristy restaurant in Waikiki? Probably a nice atmosphere, a great…read moreview, and prices to match. The restaurant is a quaint little spot inside the 'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach, with a pleasant atmosphere and views of the beach. Service was friendly and attentive, so no complaints there. The food, however, was just okay. We tried the sushi rolls, which were nicely presented but unfortunately lacked flavor. The sushi rice seemed completely unseasoned, making the rolls rather bland. The soft-shell crab was another disappointment--the outer casing was still quite tough, and we found ourselves pulling pieces of the skin out of our mouths. Not exactly enjoyable. The Popcorn Shrimp had the opposite problem--it was heavily seasoned. Even the Momo Punch was underwhelming. Overall, it wasn't a terrible experience, but for the price, we expected more. Then again, this is Waikiki, where you're paying a little extra for the location and the tourist experience.

Besides having fresh delicious sushi, the soy sauce is unique on its own. It is a Japanese soy sauce that they've added other ingredients to enhance the flavors.

It's a sweeter version of soy sauce. But it goes perfectly with their sushi. Today we opted for the #3 nigiri plate with an extra spicy scallop hand roll. Along with a garlic edamame and hamachi carpaccio for the table. Delicious! It's been a whole year since we've been here. Consistent great sushi, fresh! Can't wait to get back here again. I wish they would sell the soy sauce...
