Had the best girls' night here! We sat outside, enjoyed great food, and spent hours chatting in such a comfortable atmosphere. The cocktails were gorgeous and tasted amazing. Definitely one of our favorite spots in Waikiki, and we'll be back for sure! read more

My coworker picked up some dinner here. It's located on royal Hawaiian avenue in Waikiki. They have an extensive Japanese menu ranging from izakaya type items to donburis and yakitori. We had a bunch of yakitori type items (skewered bbq). Highly recommend the miso pork belly and the chicken thighs with green onion. read more

Came here early on a Saturday evening for dinner, easily made a reservation through Yelp. The restaurant filled up quickly so I advise that you make reservations, especially on a weekend. Located in Waikiki, the interior was super cute and I loved the wall decoration. The menu is huge, so many options. Everything we ordered was great and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The prices were also really reasonable, actually cheap for Waikiki. We will be back! read more

Was really excited to try this place since I've had it bookmarked for over a year. We arrived around 7:30 for our 7:45 reservation and were surprised to see only 3 parties inside. First off, the restaurant itself is super cute and really captures that cozy Japan izakaya vibe. The atmosphere honestly felt like a typical Hawaii izakaya, which made us even more excited for the meal. On the positive side, the staff were nice and all of the food came out super quickly. The prices were also fair. The lychee martini was good. Unfortunately, the food itself was pretty underwhelming. Most dishes lacked flavor and seasoning -- from the udon to the beef tongue, everything tasted bland and needed salt. We found ourselves adding shoyu to the udon just to give it some flavor. The fried items also need some work. The tempura enoki was oily, and the ika geso wasn't crispy enough. The highlights of the meal were definitely the hamachi carpaccio and the chicken green onion yakitori. On the other hand, the pork belly yakitori was chewy and made us question whether it was fully cooked. The fire roll was just okay. As the restaurant filled up, it also got really warm inside, so I definitely wouldn't recommend wearing long sleeve in the restaurant. Lastly, we also showed our Hawaii ID during our meal while ordering our drinks, but no Kama'aina discount was given, which we didn't know about until after we left. That was another disappointment, as most places here would have given the discount without us having to ask. Overall, I'm glad we finally tried this place because the ambiance and service was good, but it's probably not somewhere we'd return to. read more

While walking the streets of Waikiki aimlessly with only a taste for a good highball on my mind and a calling for yakitori from my belly Harumi Izakaya was a pleasant random discovery. The Japanese lantern lights and Nobori banners which adorn the front of the shop waved in the wind as if to say "hey Mike, we got what you need." Enter the pub and I was greeted immediately, "how many?" I replied, "just one, bar, please" I observed average group sizes of 4 to 6 people occupying tables on the way to my seat. Most looked local with a few appearing touristy. The japanese decorations continue throughout the entire pub which gives it a cozy authentic vibe. What did I order? A couple highballs, a chicken/green onion Yakitori, and an order of yellow tail nigiri. Everything I had was perfect and on point. Prices were fair and the water server kept the glass full. I dig this spot. It's so chill. Good for solo missions or for time with friends. Definitely the type of place you'll find me at whenever I'm in Waikīkī read more

Negituro (minced Turo) ikura lava bowl: 3/5 looked and amounted to nothing like what menu photo showed. Tastes like the sum of its parts. Yakitori (skewers): Unagi/eel: 3/5 Pork belly: 3/5 Beef: 3/5 Chicken green onion: 3.5/5 Fish didn't taste fresh. All skewers were mediocre. Food took a while to come out, too. Very kind service, but food wasn't for me. If they good give bigger portions for the price they charged then maybe 3.5/5. If there was more tare flavor and better beef quality, that would really elevate this place. Easy to walk to if you're in Waikiki. Loved the fun an casual decor. read more

Ten of us came here for dinner. They were able to give us 2 checks for the table. I had the salmon sashimi with ikura over rice. The sashimi was very very thinly sliced and did not even cover all the rice like in the menu photos. The chicken karaage appetizer was excellent. The pork belly donburi appetizer was very small but really good. read more

Came here expecting a solid izakaya experience but left pretty underwhelmed. The hamachi carpaccio had a noticeably fishy taste, which is never a good sign for something that's supposed to be fresh and clean. The meats also had a gamey flavor that just didn't sit right. Service was average, which didn't make up for the food either. Prices felt way too high for the quality you're getting, which made it disappointing. Only real highlight was the beer offered in pitchers, and the atmosphere, which was actually pretty good and easy to enjoy. Overall, not a place I'd go back to. read more

Izakaya Harumi - Skewers - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Great ambiance and food to light up the evening. Friendly service by staff that greeted us with warmth and welcoming.

Izakaya Harumi is a small izakaya in the middle of Waikiki. It is a cozy spot with loud music playing. We were quite surprised that there was no wait to get in. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, edamame, French fries, agedashi tofu, skewers with shishito peppers, zucchini, eggplant , beef, beef and pineapple , pork belly, pork jowl. Everything was pretty good. If you are looking for a place to eat that is not too overcrowded, this may be the place. The service is good and the food is pretty good. read more

Came here late night with the #boyz haha. Fun and energetic Izakaya. It's not Japanese owned or operated cause not one worker spoke japanese but it doesn't mean the food or service can't be good! Had a great time with my friends. Service was casual and friendly. Food is good for what it is. come here for the drinks and vibes, and some bites to share. Big big menu, so I would recommend looking at the menus before going in so you're not sitting there for 30mins looking FOB. Just come in, order, enjoy. That's what a solid 4 stars is. Nothing over the top, nothing short of good. Validated Parking at Hyatt Centric Bathrooms upstairs to the back, need key Phone call reservations/ Walk-ins Bring big group so you can order lots of different things to share. I would skip the Hamachi.... read more

This cute little Izakaya across the old DFS on Royal Hawaiian has great kitschy Japanese ambiance with old newspapers, banners and flags decorating the walls and ceilings. The menu offers a variety of sushi, tempura, yakitori, and other side dishes. Came here at the recommendation of my cousin from Minnesota! Our favorites were the *grilled beef tongue that came with a delicious fried garlic topping, *chirashi, and *pork jowl. Beef tongue was so good we ordered another. Service friendly but brought us a chicken karaage by mistake and forgot to take it off the bill. Remember to check your bill and ask for kamaaina discount if you're local. Park at Hyatt Centric and they will validate. Next time we need to make it on time for happy hour! read more

Skewers are my fave and hubs wanted to check out Izakaya Harumi after looking at the pictures and reading the reviews. We made reservations for 7pm, which I would recommend as it is not a very big place and can be quite busy. I appreciated their Yakitori combos. We ordered both Combo 1 and 3 which comes with both miso soup and rice. We also ordered the fried oysters, ika karaage, chicken cartilage skewers, chicken karaage, and pork belly skewers. We were silly to think the combos woudn't be enough as we were quite stuffed. My faves were the chicken and green onion skewer, fried oysters, pork jowl and pork belly skewers. Hubs was a fan of the chicken cartilage and pork belly skewers. Service was friendly and they were attentive. Prices were reasonable. We'd return again. read more

Izakaya Harumi - California Roll (to go) - Hawaiian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I was really craving good yakitori after smelling the charred meats while walking around and stumbled upon this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. The Chicken Katsu was probably the most disappointing dish of the night. There wasn't much chicken, as it was very thinly sliced and felt like there was more batter than meat. It was super crispy, which was a plus, but the katsu sauce was too tangy for my taste. I've tried other katsu spots in the area, and this one lacked the right balance. For yakitori, we ordered beef, chicken thigh, and pork belly. They were pretty standard and decent, not overly charred. The only issue was the quality,some parts of the beef were mostly fat. The Crunchy Tempura Roll was fairly decent. It had a nice balance of flavors and rice ratio. However, parts of the roll were covered in more eel sauce than others, which made some bites overly sweet at times. read more

We stopped by Izakaya Harumi since we were craving some yakitori. The beef skewer stood out the most with a great medium, fatty cut that was flavorful and satisfying. The chicken thigh skewers could have used more char and seasoning, and the pork belly skewers were cut a bit thick and weren't as charred as we'd hoped. The chicken katsu was very crispy, which we liked, but the katsu sauce was a bit too tangy and slightly bitter for our taste. The shrimp tempura roll was solid: crunchy, fresh, and easy to enjoy. For drinks, the lychee martini was strong, which we appreciated, though the lychee flavor itself wasn't very concentrated. Service was friendly, though it took about 20 minutes for our food to come out which felt a little long given the portion sizes. Overall, a decent and cozy izakaya with a fun menu. read more

This was the best meal we ate in Hawaii. Everything was delicious and I'm sad that I won't get to eat there unless I fly back. Service was good and everything came out fast.

Food; super hyped! Their omakase is the worst I've ever had. It's just a selection of your preselected basic sashimi no real selection by the sushi chef it almost seems pre packaged. Services; it's more of a hurry up and go!

After a dissatisfying snack at SFO, getting our rental car, driving over from the airport, and getting settled into our hotel room, it'd be an understatement to say we were feeling a little worn, tired, and, most significantly, hungry. So, finding something nearby was probably our biggest priority, but it needed to be interesting as well. So, after doing a quick skim of my trusty Yelp bookmarks, it didn't take long for us to decided on Izakaya Harumi. Nearby, open late, and armed with a huge menu full of so many delicious things to choose from! What's more, I'll never say no to checking out an izakaya! Even though we wandered in close to 10pm (almost 1am for us), I was mildly surprised to see this place was pretty full. However, despite how we had to put our names on the waitlist, the hostess let us know it was only going to be about a 15 minute wait (she was right). Not that we minded the extra time to look through their menu as we waited, as it's chock full of izakaya staples and specialties. From their extensive selection of appetizers, sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi to their yakitori, tempura, udon, soups, and drinks, it's practically impossible not to find some combination of dishes that will pique your tastebuds! -- MISO SOUP I don't typically bother mentioning the Miso Soup that comes with a meal, but this one was actually really good. Maybe it's because we were so hungry after our flight, but this felt really comforting and satisfying. -- HAWAIIAN STYLE OXTAIL SOUP This was one of the dishes I was most excited for and it was as good as I could've hoped for. The soup was rich, had a very beefy flavor, and felt so homely. Plus, the oxtail was so tender! I just wish there had been more chunks of it (even if that's always true). -- EGGPLANT TEMPURA Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting much, but this was surprisingly good. The batter is thinner than move that I've had, but I loved how crispy it was and the eggplant itself was soft yet not overcooked nor mushy. -- YAKITORI COMBO #3 - Chicken Thigh & Green Onion, Chicken Heart, Pork Jowl, Beef & Pineapple, Asparagus All in all, this was great! The Beef & Pineapple and Pork Jowl were my favorites while the Chicken Hearts weren't far behind despite how two of the smaller ones were a bit dry. The Asparagus were fine (all stems) and I liked the Chicken Thighs, but they needed more salt/pepper. -- SPICY MISO PORK BELLY SKEWER I had high hopes for this one and it didn't disappoint. Even though we didn't find this to be all that spicy, this had a nice punch of miso flavor, was super juicy, and had a good ratio of meat to fat on it. -- CHICKEN KARAAGE It's hard for chicken karaage dishes to stand out from each other, but this was great! The batter wasn't too heavy/thick, the chicken itself was moist and flavorful, and I liked the seasoned (?) mayo this came with. -- TAKOYAKI BALLS Although I've definitely had better, these weren't so shabby either. On the plus side, each piece was pretty big and I liked how they weren't slathered with sauce or mayo. However, while I liked how crispy they were, they also felt a little burnt/overcooked. -- LYCHEE SODA Not sure what is particularly special about their homemade sodas, but regardless, this was pretty solid. The lychee flavor in this was pretty strong yet not overwhelming nor was it overly sweet. -- YUZU SODA Maybe it's because the Lychee Soda was so strong, but the yuzu in this was pretty mild. A real shame too since what I could taste was actually better - the yuzu added a slight tartness that balanced the sweetness quite well. Considering how we ended up at Izakaya Harumi largely out of hunger and convenience, we were certainly hopeful for a good meal, but we didn't havethe highest expectations either. So, needless to say, we were more than stoked by what we had! Granted, if the circumstances had been different, there's a chance that this might have felt closer to a four star meal, but, either way, it was a great first meal to kick off our trip! I just regret not trying some of their sashimi/sushi options, though, I guess it's just that much more of a reason to come back! FOUR AND A HALF STARS rounded up for now. read more

Came to celebrate the end of our great family trip to Hawaii! No better way to go out than with delicious grilled meats, fresh fish and cold beer! The place had fun decor that made it feel like Japan. We were seated quickly with a friendly wait staff and got a high chair. They even let us get a candy treat for my little guy! Me and the brother-in-law got the Yakitori Combo #3 which had my favorite cuts (chicken thigh w/green onion 3/5, pork jowl 5/5 and chicken hearts 5/5) and an interesting one that I wanted to try (beef and pineapple 4/5). Others got chicken karaage (4/5), agedashi tofu (4/5) and udons (didn't try). We shared a jalapeño hamachi roll (5/5) and ordered fresh wasabi (always a game changer). Best dish was the Tako wasabi (5/5) which is something I will forever look to order in the future. Also washed it all down with a pitcher of Sapporo which came out with ice cold pint glasses. Will keep this in mind and make a return visit when we are back on the island! Come check this place out for a great time and excellent eats! read more

I came here on a random afternoon to grab a "small bite" with my partner. Parking was a bit of an issue but it always is in Waikiki. Upon arrival, we were seated fairly quickly. I would note that the establishment had a really strong, unpleasant fishy smell. I understand they work with raw fish so I would understand a slight smell but it was much stronger than completely justifiable. We got the combo 1 just to share, my partner wanted to order more but I really wasn't in the mood to try this spot. I KNOW this is in Waikiki so complaining about prices is a bit unfair but it felt a waste to eat there, especially as I have so many spots on my radar just a few minutes of a drive outside of Waikiki that it just felt like a tourist trap. The service was decent, I asked for the Kamaaina discount they promoted (since this is Waikiki, so you gotta) and the waitress were able to make that adjustment for us. It just took a long time... they weren't busy so it was definitely irking me a bit how long we were waiting around for the adjusted check. Overall, I have no complaints about their food but just know theres soooo many better options out there in my opinion. Also they do have a promotion to get a free small dessert if you left a 5 star, which definitely leads to rating inflation. read more

Our family wanted to celebrate my husband's birthday in the best way possible...with Japanese vibes of course! Made the reservation via *Yelp and got seated right away in a cozy booth perfect for our party of 4. We didn't hold back on ordering a variety of appetizers, sushi, noodles and rice bowls. Everything came out quickly: fresh, hot and delicious! Gobbled everything up so quickly we ordered more! The staff is so friendly and accommodating and checked on us frequently. We came at probably the best possible time, as it wasn't too crowded and we got to enjoy ourselves at a leisurely pace. Validated parking is located at the Hyatt Centric, which is a welcome distance so we can walk off some of our gains. Everyone in our party agrees everything was so good, we will be back! read more

When we got here the place was initially full so they told us a 30 minute wait. However, it only ended up being a 5 minute wait. There was a small sushi bar, and a mix of tables and booths. The booths were nice and large and we got one in the back. Each table came with some condiments of soy sauce, Tabasco, either onion or garlic powder/sale, and a spice seasoning. For drinks, we got a lychee martini and Moscow mule (they were out of Mai Tais). The lychee martini came with 2 juicy lychees and wasn't too sweet. I liked that the menu had a little bit of everything from sushi to udon to yakitori. To start, we got miso soup and shrimp tempura. The miso soup tasted a bit watery and was lacking miso umami flavor that I usually expect. For sushi, we got a nigiri set #2 which had a variety of pieces from salmon, tuna, yellowtail, scallop, uni, etc. It was a good sampler so that we knew what to order more of. My favorite pieces were the scallop and salmon which literally melted in your mouth. For yakitori, we tried all the chicken items so wing, breast, thigh, etc. My favorite was the wing and thigh green onion. The eggplant was interesting too and miso heavy. Didn't try any udon here but overall loved the variety of flavors and options. read more

This was my first time eating here and we had such a great experience. From the moment we walked in, I felt like i was transported back to Japan. The restaurant was clean the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, a great pau hana spot to drink a few beers and snacks on Japanese bar food. The sushi we ordered was incredibly fresh. You could immediately taste the quality of the fish -- clean, buttery, and perfectly seasoned. Each piece was beautifully presented, and everything from the nigiri to the specialty rolls felt thoughtfully crafted. The small plates were just as impressive, full of flavor and perfect for sharing. My favorite bites were the carpaccio, sushi and yakitori. Service was attentive without being intrusive, and the overall vibe struck that perfect balance between cozy and upbeat. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a date night as it does for a relaxed dinner with friends. If you're looking for fresh sushi and a Japanese inspired izakaya atmosphere, this spot definitely delivers. We'll absolutely be back. Thank you to my friends for recommending me this place. read more

Had a reservation, so my group of 4 had no issues getting a table. The place isn't that big, so a reservation is helpful on a busy night. But they have a waitlist for walk-in's. They are able to push tables together for big groups. Saw a group of 8 get seated while we were there. Service is just friendly enough, but you might have to flag someone down after your food is brought out if you need anything additional. My sister got a skewer combo. My mom got oxtail soup. We shared the hamachi carpaccio. My dad got one of the fancy boxes (the middle priced one). I got hotate nigiri, enoki mushroom tempura, and a shishito pepper skewer and shared items. The food was not the most standout to me, which in a place like Hawaii where there are so many izakaya places to choose from, doesn't make me need to come back here right away for a particular dish. Except my mom really loved the oxtail soup. It is a pretty small size since all plates are like tapas, but it was very flavorful and had two pieces of oxtail. She added some of my sister's rice to it to add more substance and was satisfied (not full). Would recommend to try once for yourself but not dying to go back next year on our annual trip to the island. read more

I wanted to take my partner somewhere special for his upcoming birthday--he's a big fan of sushi and yakitori--so I was thinking an izakaya would be perfect. I was looking for a place that was relatively new and somewhere we hadn't been before. That's when I came across Izakaya Harumi. I made a same-day reservation and I'm so glad I did! First off, the pricing was reasonable. We ordered a couple of appetizers, a chirashi bowl, and some yakitori skewers. My partner loves oxtail soup, so we made sure to get that too. While the portion isn't huge, it's still a nice little indulgence--especially if you just want a taste. My absolute favorite dish was the uni shooter--served right in the oyster shell. Super fresh and flavorful! Bonus: they offer a 10% local discount, which is such a nice touch. They had already run my card by the time I noticed, but honestly, I didn't mind--it feels good to support a local business I genuinely liked. Overall, we had a great experience and I'd definitely come back. Just a heads-up: I highly recommend making a reservation! read more

If your looking for a late night snack or dinner option there aren't many options after 9pm. Thankfully this place is open until 11. We tried Calamari which was ok. Tempura was decent with mushrooms, sweet potato and asparagus. Edamame seemed like it was on the older side and not as fresh as it could be. I also tried some nigiri sushi. Fish quality was good however the rice seemed like it was made a while ago. I had, Salmon, Seared Salmon, Chuytoro and Uni. All the meat was fresh. Yakitori was very good, I chose the thigh and mushrooms and kauai prawn. Not a bad late night spot for sure. read more

Great food great service! And we recommend the beef udon and the yakitoris. Also the staff were amazing!!!

Cute, small izakaya hole-in-the-wall with good food! The menu is quick extensive, but small at the same time. There are many varieties of tempura, sushi, yakitori (skewers), and many more! Starting off with the potato salad, it was good. The ikageso (fried squid) is always one of my favorite appetizers for an izakaya. This one was nice and crisp exterior and soft inside! The pork jowl was one of the highlights I would say! The other things I enjoy is pork belly and chicken skin! My friend and I had the salmon skin salad! The sauce was nice on the salmon skin, but this did make the skin soft and almost chewy, not your typical crispy skin (which i pictured it to be). I'm not a fan of bonito, so not sure why I ordered it! However, i liked the salmon skin salad and would probably just ask for it without the bonito next time! You can never go wrong with oysters! I enjoyed the freshness, but it was a little gritty and I would say one of the 3, both rounds needed to be cleaned a little better. I can overlook that however! In closing, I felt like the servers was nice and on top of things for the most part! I highly recommend reservations because I made one and it helped me to get that nice booth seating! The place is small, but the food was good! I would definitely say, price wise was a little expensive for what it was worth i think. The sushi roll, Hawaii was good, but not anything special! cute ambiance though! I would probably come back for the oysters since not many places in Waikiki are prepared so simply and delicious! read more

Came in for a dinner at 7:45, it was packed but with an online reservation they sat us pretty quickly. We ordered the seared scallops sushi (which was the best dish), with the gyu don, yakitori combo #2 and beef tataki. Our beef tataki came last and the taste was overwhelming with wasabi, while we wanted to try something new might've just been a flavor we're not used to. The yakitori was cold/dry by the time we had them brought out so that was disappointing. Seared scallops sushi and gyu don were tasty which was great. Service could have been better since they only checked on us once. Most of the tables left by 8:30 and we ended up waiting for our check until we could wave someone down. It might be worthwhile checking this place out but it wouldn't be our first choice in revisiting unless we were interested in sushi and even then, there's probably better options for a tab that was 80.45 read more

Cute izakaya in Waikiki. I got the tempura set which came with shrimp, sweet potato, green beans, and enoki mushrooms. I loved the enoki mushrooms which I've never had anywhere else. My friend got the chirashi bowl which she said had fresh fish, but the rice was a bit too salty for her taste. Their sushi was good but is pricey since they are in Waikiki. Also make sure to check you check, we were charged tip before paying and so we ended up paying tip twice. read more
