So I got a really nice response from the new owners about my old review and that alone makes me want to try Kabuki again. Some updates since I visited 2 months ago: 1. It is no longer cash only!! Bring your credit and debit cards! 2. They are renovating and hope to reopen dine in. 3. They have hired and trained new staff and are looking forward to welcoming all of us!! Best of luck to the new owners! See u soon!! read more

8/28/2026 I'm a hard core regular that has been patronizing since the 90's !!! Noticed a change last month and this month.... No more the regular employees that has been there for ages! The PRICES are insanely HIGH!!!! Like double the price on most items!!!! Some even more!!! The portions are extremely manini!!!!! Notice they updated the look of the menu and increased the prices by a lot!!!! Crazy HIGH!!! The guy serving me today was new cause he wasn't trained on the registers yet and couldn't touch it! I asked the lady ringing me up is this the new portion sizes? She said it's the same as before! Told her I have countless photos of my food and this is 1/2 the amount I usually get!!! The only positive note is they now accept credit cards but you have to pay the 3% service charge!!! Don't think I can recommend this place for okazuya anymore! I gotta take my business elsewhere!!!! read more

Kabuki Restaurant and Delicatessen was established in HI in 1961 by Katsumi and Haruko Kazama in the Waimalu Shopping Plaza in Aiea, together with a handful of small businesses, with a vision where local people could gather, shop, and fulfill all their daily needs in one location. The popular, old-school Japanese eatery was known for its traditional Japanese dishes, fresh sushi, and extensive okazuya (deli) selection, which consistently drew long lines. It served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After many successful years, the Covid pandemic slowed business down, and the owners were ready to retire but couldn't find anyone to take over the business. The main dine-in restaurant closed on 1/31/24, while the okazuya side remained opened. An electrical contractor by trade, John Afong, teamed up with Randall Hayashi to take over the okazuya side in Oct. 2019, and still operates today. This Yelp review is for the Kabuki okazuya (take-out Japanese comfort food). The long-standing Japanese delicatessen known for the popular okazuya & fresh sushi with a busy morning window for breakfast and lunch items, e.g., chow fun, cone sushi, fried chicken, and more. Note that items are not traditional Japanese okazuya, but more about what will sell based on value or price point, what is considered "old-school" local charm, and take-out food that can be packed for easy transport. After the closure of the dine-in restaurant, the okazuya take-out line was improved to protect it from the natural elements and became more efficient by having two lines when ordering at the counter. A checklist was placed so customers could write down items to be ordered and hand this list to the staff for fast-ordering. Bentos are still available until 11a. Some of our recent okazuya purchases are: * Maki sushi. Pieces are large with generous flavorful fillings, but they are square, so a mold is used, which is surprising. * Potato tempura. Doughy batter with generous piece of sweet potato. Put it in the air fryer, and the batter will be crispy. * Chow fun. Somewhat seasoned, a little mushy, and lacking with the add-ins. Doctored it by adding in spam, cabbage, kamaboko at home. * Long rice. Lacking in taste and add-ins. Doctored it up by adding in spam, cabbage, kamaboko at home. The long rice soured quickly. As with the chow fun, love that each was wrapped in a light brown paper for portion control and that they don't overflow onto the next item. * Corned beef hash patties. Crisp on the outside, but ratio of potatoes far exceeds the corned beef. The okazuya items sold at the Kabuki Restaurant were always favorites for us, especially during the pre-Covid times. We live on the east side, and we were aware of its popularity with those who lived nearby, as there were always long lines whenever we went. Granted there was an ownership change in 2019 and with the after-effects of the pandemic, things are no longer the same. Recent visits to Kabuki revealed that while the portion sizes of the okazuya items are still generous, they have lessened in inventory and are not as flavorful as they used to be. Their quality is not as good as before. What happened? I'm assuming new cooks with the management change? In its hey days, there were always long lines for the okazuya. Not any more, as there haven't been any lines so that we could just walk right through and order. Local folks are very nostalgic, as they remember how good things used to be and by continuing to patronize the business, hoping that their loyalty will allow the business to be there, instead of having memories. As there are no lines, the two staff ladies are eager to take your order, and they are quick and efficientin assisting you without any waiting time. Good time to ask questions about the okazuya. Hours of operation are daily from 5:30a to 1p. Cash only. Free parking available in the complex shopping center that is shared with other businesses. There are other okazuyas that offer great comfort food that also should be considered, especially in seeking taste, value, and options. These will be memories one day......support local! read more

All the okazuya prices have gone up since new ownership and the 2 ladies that have been there forever are no longer there. The cone sushi price went from $2.40 to $3.50 and the size shrank a lot. I used to buy the cone sushi for my mom all the time, but I don't think I'll be going there to buy it anymore. Definitely not worth $3.50. read more

Kabuki Restaurant - Good - Japanese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

9-15-25 Picking up lunch for hub's aunty who became 90 today. Luckily when I arrived there was no line outside the door. So many things that looked good but the plate could only hold: Monday's special meatballs Cone sushi Nishime Shoyu chicken Egg They carefully put the meatballs in a little cup, wrapped the nishime separate from the other items. I could hear a man n the other line saying hot dog, hash, etc. Those sounded good. I also ordered 3 rolls of maki sushi: one for aunty, 1 for a friend and one for our own lunch. My friend emailed asking where the sushi was from cuz her husband said it was the biggest he ever saw and that it was delicious. I wish I could show you Aunty's plate before the lady packaged it in a plastic bag cuz it was heavy. I hope she liked it. Strictly business, no pleasantries or smiles. You stand inside the doorway and wait to go in either the right or left line cafeteria style- you look, say what you want then pay, cash only. Nothing fancy as the main dining room is dark and closed off. Typical okazuya place you order and go. Not an eat in place. read more

Update 3-24-26. Went to kabuki to get something for lunch. I ordered 1 roll of Maki sushi some gobo and potato tempura. This guy in front of me said have lunch on him and gave me $20.00 to buy my lunch. HOW so generous this person is. Thank you to that guy who was my blessing today read more

Today August 07, 2026, went to Kabuki Deli for okazu. Looks like there's new owners. Prices have gone way way up. I ordered 2 plain musubi at $ 1.75 ea, 2 times teri beef at $1.35 ea, 2 times gobo at 4.25 ea, 2 spam $2.70 ea, 2 times chorizo $4.25 ea,2 times chow mein noodles at$1.65 ea and 1 pc. Hash patty at 3.25. Total price was 39.01.... Inused to go there maybe once or twice a month. Sad to say I won't be going there anymore. I used to pay around $ 20.00 something for the same order before.The 2 orders of chow mein is really 1 order and the same for the gobo and teri beef. Lower your prices, you folks are serving less food. For a higher price, you will lose customers. You have no line outside like before. There was musubi's when I went there. Usually there is none, by the time I get there. And lots of food also... Mahalo nui read more

New owners, price ^, and worst part is they got rid of the ladies who dedicated their lives to this place. Junk now. Not going back. Never had anyone in there at lunch ti Food was low quality for what they charge. read more

My husband & I are suckers for okazuya's. We always passed by this place and we finally decided to give it a try. When we first arrived they had a line (always a sign that it'll be good). They also provided paper menus and pencils so you could figure out your order while waiting. We handed over our paper order to the cashier and she started on our plate. They were quick and packed everything really well so it wouldn't leak onto each other. They have a lot of options from maki sushi, fried chicken, gobo, adobo, etc. We tried a little bit of everything. The fried chicken was super crispy & fresh which I liked. It was also cooked all the way through. Some places don't cook their chicken all the way through. The gobo was spicy for some reason but to be fair, it was my first time eating it. My husband likes gobo and he said it was spicy also, or packed a bit of heat. I seen that a lot of people got the adobo, so being a Filipino, I had to try for myself. It was really tender pieces pork that were falling apart. But had a strong vinegar taste. I personally liked it. The Friday special was stir fry eggplant so I also got that. It was Chinese eggplant cooked in a brown sauce w/ pieces of meat. Price wise, it was typical pricing for okazuya in Oahu. Nothing compared to the okazuya's in Hilo but definitely satisfied our cravings. We will be back to try again :) thank read more

I just left Kabuki and I am so disappointed in the changes they've made. The prices are higher, the portions are smaller and they now charge if you ask for separate containers for noodles or gobo. The plate I received looked like slop because the chow mein noodles were dumped on top of the gobo. The nishime was put into a container that was too big and I think the server did that because I complained about him dumping everything together. I realize they're trying to save money but in doing so they've killed the special ambiance that was Kabuki. I've been a customer for over 30 years and I was always willing to pay their rates because so much care went into packing the boxes of food. The one good change was the addition of a divider that created 2 lines in the store so there wouldn't be a line outside. Although their food continues to be delicious, I will definitely have to consider whether it's worth going there anymore. I'm going to try and add a picture... the food shown cost me almost $45. read more

Anytime I go eat okazuya, I can't but help to think about my Yelp buddy- Bruddah Dan O., as he is da KING of okazuya! Bruddah Dan is da man for okazuya, as he's been to a lot of okazuya joints (including Kabuki), and has generously shared with me some of his recommendations/favorite okazuya joints. On my recent okazuya adventures, da Kabuki Restaurant was targeted, as I was enticed by a marinaded frrrrrried chicken that my Yelp buddy - Donna O. had posted on Yelp not too long ago. Where is the Kabuki Restaurant??? If ya know where the Waimalu Shopping Center is, you can find the Kabuki restaurant among the various eateries at this shopping complex in Aiea. Upon walking into the restaurant, both ladies working the okazuya counter was already helping some folks, but after waiting behind a lady, it was my turn. I proceeded to order da following items- 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken ($3.50 per piece), I got two. Unfortunately for me, I didn't see that Marinated Frrrrrried Chicken that by Yelp buddy - Donna O. had talked about. 2. Shoyu Chicken ($3.50 per piece). 3. Cone Sushi ($2.40). 4. Shrimp Tempura ($2.50). 5. Potato Tempura ($2.25). 6. Egg Omelet ($1.40). What can I say about the grub?? If you like old skool comfort food, Kabuki Okazuya clearly meets the old skool joints. Nothing fancy about the food. I found some items better than others. I LOVED the Shoyu Chicken, but the Fried Chicken appeared over cooked & hard. I really dug the Cone Sushi, and of course the tempura items were to die for! Like many okazuya joints on Oahu, I have a few favorites, but my ultimate all time FAVORITE okazuya joints is actually on da Big Island (Hilo to be exact!). If you're ever in the Aiea neighborhood, Kabuki Okazuya really meets the old skool comfort food joints! Chance 'em! read more

What happened to this place? After coming here for years, I was truly disappointed today. As usual, I just picked up a few items for my lunch and my plate must've weighed only a few ounces but the total was almost $21!!! Kimpira Gobo, 2pcs of Chorizo which was 1/4 of a whole sausage, and 2 slivers of Halibut! The new door works great so I guess they needed to raise their prices to pay for it! LOL I came back to my office and handed my bento box to co-workers and I told them, "that's about 21 bucks in there!" They couldn't believe it! When things are good I spread a good word and when it's not, I let everyone know! read more

I've read that this restaurant has been here forever. Until recently, I hadn't even really been past the airport because I am definitely a townie. Now that I work on the west side. I'm always looking for places to pit stop on my way to or from work. Kabuki offers okazu in the mornings and it's a great place for me to stop before work to pick up food. Kabuki is a full blown restaurant, but in the mornings, they have an okazuya in the front part of the restaurant. It's blocked off too so you can't really see inside. There were a couple people coming in and out while I was there. But there aren't any crazy lines like there are at other okazuyas. There are two lines that start in the middle, each going in opposite directions. The ladies working the okazu line and cashiering are very nice and patient. I felt like they genuinely were grateful for my business and their friendliness makes me want to return even though I prefer the taste at other places. I chose the chow fun, the nishime, Teri beef and a fried shrimp. The fried shrimp was on the sweet side and they are very generous with the chow fun. The plate was $13, which is pretty affordable I think. I particularly liked that they wrap the saucy items in parchment paper. It doesn't really help with containing the sauce completely, but it makes the plate look nice. It's a nice touch. There is plenty of parking in the mornings and the service was quick, just how I like it. Food was coming out of the kitchen hot and fresh. I think I'll be back to try other things. They also have daily specials. read more

Kabuki Restaurant our favorite Japanese food restaurant. Now only serving Okazuya 7 days a week. Catering is available especially great for the Holidays.

The cooks were on point, everything was prepared perfectly and so Delicious . When we brought it home everything quickly disappeared. read more

Quality varies these days. The shoyu chicken used to be better. Kinda burnt and rubbery now. The sushi rice is off. Even the laulau they promoted was mostly fat. They need to tighten it up because it ain't cheap. read more

She bought cone sushi, maki sushi, vegetable tempura and potato tempura. I ate the vegetable tempura. It was delicious. Good tempura crispness , maybe just a little doughy. The cone sushi was also tasty, but I prefer a little more vinegar.Service was fast and efficient. The line move fast. Come early for the best selections .Enjoy read more

I sadly did not take any photos of our bentos but what I have to at least rave about is how I was able to call less than 24 hours in advance for a bento party order of 24 (13 A and 11 B bento). While it is cash only, I really appreciated the no hassle service. Called in around 11am on Monday and scheduled pick up for Tuesday at 1030am (sure that's really close 24 hours in advance but some places would say that's too late). Drove down before they closed at 1pm and paid in full. Since this was my first time even ordering from this long standing establishment, I was intrigued with the decor inside. Buffet hot plate style to-go in front with Japanese sliding doors over the windows to give the effect of a home in traditional Japan, very cool. Staff is so friendly, I swear they love what they do and I hope they are compensated well because they all have such great attitudes. Rambling done. Kabuki is a cool local restaurant and their bentos are totally worth it! I personally enjoyed bento A with fried chicken, hotdog, teri beef, fired potato, and tamago, on rice. Not overly oily, flavored just right. read more

I've been coming here for since the 70's and today 081226. I guess new owners and will never come back. A plate I bought in January is 30% more today and portions way less. The women that I've seen for years are gone too. Sad read more

Love love love okazuyas. Love what Kabuki has to offer. Love that they have a menu where you can look prior to getting to the front and helps makes ordering quicker! Very sad their hours are short. Needed to make a new yelp profile for them because it was getting mixed up with the RESTAURANT side. Two different sides, two different hours, same business. read more

We love Kabuki Okazuya! When I think of Okazuya, I usually compare other places to the offerings at Kabuki. There are many other places on the island that serve this type of food, but my bias always steers me back here. I appreciate their menu being on the smaller side so it isn't too overwhelming to come to my decision. I'm the type that wants everything, so it's hard for me to go into a place that has endless options. Foodie problems... haha! :( Service is quick and to the point here. Just wait in line, walk up when you're called, and point to the things you want. There's a menu board on the wall that could help guide you, but the simplest rule of thumb is to choose what looks good that day. Phone orders are also welcomed! Popular items are hard to identify since there's a nice blend of local & Japanese okazu to suit different taste preferences. Our faves start with the fried halibut - a simple piece of fish that's lightly breaded, salted, and fried. Then next is the gobo! This really grew on me over the years of getting old lol I love the savory crunch that has a kick of spice, depending on the bite. Third fave is the long rice noodles and shoyu chicken. I can't ever get a plate without one of the two, so they both land as my third favorite lol. There's also daily specials that remain the same week after week. Thankfully for me, they have all my faves everyday! Admittedly, it would be nice to see different specials from time to time. Through the decades of dining here, I'm almost certain the majority of their menu hasn't changed. On a positive note tho, I am happy to say that I have NEVER had issues with the food here. Yes, everything is prepared ahead of time, but thankfully it all remains fresh and my tummy always approves too! read more

I always wondered why the line was out the door here. Obviously most of their customers live in the area. Probably going to be my first and last time here. I tried some of their items and still found it just ok. Can't beat Gulick Deli as far as selection and flavor. Their prices are also on par with Gulick but if you crave this okazu items then I'm biased with Gulick. I just love all of Gulick deli's items and Kabuki is just not up to par with them in taste and selections. read more

Haven't been to Kabuki Restaurant in Waimalu for quite awhile. After recently reconnecting with them, I've noticed their okazuya is still tasty & reasonably priced. The restaurant might be closed but their okazuya window is still open. The ladies are always helpful and smiling so it makes it easy to place your order without being rushed. They're always saying, "take your time" even when there is a long line out the door. I visited yesterday after exercise class and there were 4 people ahead of me. The wait time wasn't that long...in fact I got out before the guy who was in front of me even finished selecting his choices. I spent just over $50 for 8 cone sushi, 4 hash, 2 egg, 4 vegetable tempura & a roll maki sushi. The counter area is clean and all the food looks tasty. Huge parking lot out front that is shared by all the tenants at the Waimalu Shopping Center. Will be back in the near future. Tip jar available so please leave a nice tip for these hard working ladies. read more

Teriyaki meat and cone sushi was too sweet ! The rice in the sushi was soggy I never finished it !

Okazukya review: Been coming here occasionally for years as it is relatively close to my house. Most items around $2-4 each. They have a variety of things from sushi, namasu, tempura, chicken. Tempura can be a little oily but it has good flavor. Chicken was little dry but nice shoyu flavor. Good spot if you are in the area and want a okazuya type of breakfast/lunch. read more

OMG nooooo!!! I was thinking of taking my friend to this restaurant for his birthday next month, and just read on the question and answer if their restaurant is still open, and saw two answers mentioning that they permanently closed on January 28, 2024. I called Kabuki, and to my relief, the Okazuya side is still open. Yay! I noticed I didn't write a review for this restaurant yet, and after a string of mediocre service or food at other places this past month, I needed to write about somewhere that will lead myself and you yelpers to enjoy and saw this restarant pop up in my pending places to review. I love this place, especially the pork konbu, cone sushi and namasu. They are the best okazuya I could find, and I cannot find anywhere that serves delicious pork konbu like they do, so I have to make a special early morning trip just to get it. Although it says they close at 1p, they are basically out of the good stuff by 11a or sometimes, if I'm lucky, before noon. The last time I went, although a bit salty, I was fortunate to have the last two remaining pieces available for me to enjoy. Now that I am writing this, I am craving for their food and want to go sometime this week when I can wake up and drive out early to get it. There is nowhere to sit and enjoy their food, so I usually pick up to bring home. There is always a line, and only 4 people can be in the store at one time. Also, CASH only. There is an ASB ATM outside, in front of the strip of stores if you don't have enough cash because buying each item can add up. Lots of parking since it is in the waimalu shopping center. read more

The deli food went up in price and the tastes is not as good since they changed owners. They used to have a line to buy their food. There was no line. The cone sushi was not as flavorful and the serving of gobo was half of what they usually give. I was very disappointed with the amount of food they gave. read more

Wow it's been awhile since we've been to kabuki, had a line in the am filled out the sheet for easier ordering but if possible best to phone order your order and go in and pick up you can skip the line, Noodles come in pint $7 or quart size $12 and they pack it in there! All had good flavor really liked the long rice noodles! Everything was so tasty especially loved the halibut so soft and buttery never had a fried fish okazuya definitely must try it if you like fish. Also compared to a lot of other okazuyas their prices seem reasonable and the size of the pieces are good size! Definitely would come back! read more

Happy New Year everyone! First 2024 review goes to Kabuki Okazuya. Journey began Wednesday morning. Two bright lights flashing in unison every other second. I read sign outside Okazuya open seven days a week. Taken by surprise while driving to work, west to east via Kamehameha Hwy. Too late for me to turn around. I will keep in mind. Showed up next day on Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. There were two ladies with a couple of kids perusing what to order. Menu items, certain items must be pre ordered with phone number, business hours 5:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Beat the morning rush. Take a pencil and order form. Mark quantity in the box next to selections you'd like on order form. Bentos served until 11 a.m. I split the meals on Thursday and Friday for breakfast, mid morning snack, and lunch. Bento B $9.25 Verdict: Teri beef: thinly sliced, tender, not sweet, easy to pull apart with hashi and teeth. My type of teri beef. Loved it! I wish this would be available to buy on menu list. Gobo: Kick in every bite filled with some spiciness. Loved slight crunch. Grand wake up call. Rice: Fresh, came in handy to relieve spiciness from gobo. Kamaboko, smaller version of egg omelet and spam were tasty. Shrimp tempura was my least favorite. Half an inch thick of yellow orange batter coated and masked the perfectly cooked shrimp. Appearance and taste reminded me of Tanaka Saimin. I prefer a lighter, crispy and flaky batter. Returned on Friday morning and ordered one each: Butterfish: Marinated in shoyu or soy sauce. Savory and boneless. My fave! Chow Mein: Oily. Noodles were extra moist. I love and prefer slightly drier noodles. Cone Sushi: Too much rice vinegar. Some of the rice and carrots fell out of huge tofu or bean curd. I love a tasty cone sushi that doesn't fall all over the place. Corned Beef Hash Patty: My least liked item. Quite oily. Barely tasted corn beef. Higher ratio of potatoes to corn beef. Egg Omelet: Egg was larger than the one inside bento. Delicious! Fried Chicken: Juices were sealed in. Moist and tender on inside. Crispy skin on the outside. Long Rice: Tasty. Mac Salad: Second to the last and least enjoyed. Tuna overpowered elbow macaroni and mayonnaise. Potato Tempura: Yellow, sweet potato covered in half an inch, thick, oily, orange yellow batter. I prefer lighter, crispy, and flaky. Vegetable Tempura: My fave for deep fried appetizer! Winner! If I have to make my own bento, must haves: 1 Butterfish 1 Cone Sushi 1 Egg Omelet 1 Gobo 1 Fried Chicken 1 Long Rice 1 Teri Beef 1 Vegetable Tempura Bright smiles and fabulous customer service during early mornings makes a huge difference for those hangry/hungry. Cash only. Would love to try their konbu maki, nishime, and shoyu chicken. read more
