This may be one of the best Japanese restaurants on the island. Many of the ingredients are flown in from Japan. Their teppanyaki tastes good, is affordable and made efficiently. Lunch prices are about $25-35/person. Parking validation is provided. Service was quick. Overall highly recommend.
If you had only one place that you could try in Hawaii I would say to come to Suntory for sure this place was by far the best food, service and overall good time for a nice and delicious lunch. Don't forget to make reservations online. Got the May 2026 Shunsai-zen and it changes monthly. The set itself cost $48.00 which I think is a steal and each item was fresh and complimented each other so well. The food itself was so tasty! Every piece seemed to have a story and just delicious. Also at the end they gave me a birthday cake and some beautiful flowers to celebrate my day which was also fun! Totally would say come here and enjoy the food you won't be disappointed at all.
Checked out Restaurant SUNTORY for dinner service. We chose the Omakase ($180/pp) seating service and had a great experience with the one on one service with the chef. We got about 15 sushi pieces, miso soup, and dessert. Every bite was worth it and the sushi is super fresh. I enjoyed the ambiance of the private omakase section.
Discovered this location while exploring Waikiki. Have always enjoyed hibachi and Teon style restaurants, however, here in the states, they are always almost all Benihana style where there has to be a big show and interaction. With Suntory you get all the flavor and taste of hibachi without the engagement--which I thoroughly enjoyed! Our chef, Roy, was excellent and didn't need to impress by spinning eggs or chucking chunks of food in anyone's mouth. The drinks were excellent. I shared a whiskey flight with my wife and sampled the world's best Whiskey (which is undoubtedly Japanese whiskey!!). If you come to this place, looking for the Benihana experience, then you've come to the wrong place. But if you're looking for great food and a low-key atmosphere, then this is your spot.
I've been looking forward to trying this out but a bit disappointed, Made a reservation for lunch. They get fairly busy so recommend a reservation. Food was as expected for such establishment and the $. If you know Ward Village, Rinka is probably as good regarding food quality if not better. If you do not know Rinka, look it up and go check it out. Back to Suntory... Service is ok. Cool ambiance. Came for lunch - wife had a drinks and I had a beer as well as Manhattan. First sign of disappointment is the ice. Came in with small pieces of crushed ice. If you're a whiskey drinker, you know the proper presentation. Then the taste, just not polished. For an establishment called Suntory Whiskey, I expected their drinks to be presented appropriately at the very least! Will give them another try. Plenty of drinks on the menu. But first impression and experience are meh.
The restaurant is so pretty inside with excellent decor and a display of Suntorh whiskeys and wine. The service is wonderful and now the food, it is so delicious. We had the Teppanyaki as well as a lunch special which included making your own hand rolls. We had the whiskey flight which was awesome and then we also had two glasses of Chablis. Highly recommend.
My husband and I came here for their teppanyaki dinner during our honeymoon. The restaurant feels very proper and authentic, which sets a different tone from what you might expect. When we think of teppanyaki, we usually picture a fun, interactive experience--but this was much more quiet and reserved. While that may appeal to some, it wasn't quite our style. The food was just okay for the price, and the two drinks we ordered were pretty mediocre. That said, our server was great--attentive, kind, and consistently checked in to make sure we were taken care of. Overall, we probably wouldn't return, but if you're looking for a calm, intimate, and more traditional dining experience, this could be a good fit.
I loved this restaurant, but I had to deduct two stars for several disappointing experiences. First, we specifically requested a window table when making our reservation, but that never happened, and no explanation was offered. My guess is that the person who took the reservation simply forgot to note our request. Second, the dining room was uncomfortably hot, which made it difficult to enjoy shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. We were perspiring throughout the entire meal, despite the waitress redirecting a floor fan toward our table. I repeatedly asked about the air conditioning but couldn't get a straight answer from either the waiter or the waitress. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. Lastly, something seems to have changed with the parking validation. Just a weeks ago, we ate at the teppanyaki section, and our parking was validated for three to four hours. This time, however, we were charged $6.00. That simply doesn't make sense. After spending several hundred dollars on dinner, we still had to pay for parking? Needless to say, this policy is likely to be a major turnoff for diners visiting the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. I truly enjoyed the food and service overall, but these issues significantly affected what should have been an excellent dining experience.
I don't hand out many five star reviews, but Restaurant Suntory earned one without hesitation. In fact, it earned three visits during a single vacation. We started with teppanyaki and it reminded me why Japanese cuisine is my favorite in the world. The quality of the ingredients speaks for itself. Beautifully marbled wagyu, perfectly cooked vegetables, exceptional rice and absolutely get the garlic rice upgrade. Every bite felt intentional. Traveling with a two and four year-old can change the way you judge a restaurant and this is one of the most family friendly fine dining experiences I've had. They don't just tolerate children, they genuinely welcome them. The coloring books, kid sized utensils, thoughtful plates and little details made our kids feel included instead of like an inconvenience. We came back for the hand roll set and somehow it was just as memorable. From the amuse bouche through dessert, it felt like a carefully paced tasting menu. Every course had purpose and the sashimi and hand rolls were some of the freshest we had anywhere in Hawaii. Even the kids couldn't get enough of the udon. Before flying home, we made one last stop for shabu shabu and sukiyaki with my parents. Again, perfectly portioned, beautifully presented and deeply satisfying. It was the perfect way to end the trip. What impressed me most wasn't just one spectacular meal, it was the consistency. Three different experiences, three different styles of dining and every visit delivered the same level of craftsmanship and care. There are restaurants that chase trends and there are restaurants that dedicate themselves to doing things the right way year after year. Restaurant Suntory feels like the latter. It's the kind of place that reminds you why Japanese cuisine has earned its reputation for precision, restraint and respect for ingredients. My favorite restaurant in Hawaii and honestly one of my favorite restaurants anywhere. I sincerely hope it stays around for generations.
I've been a fan of this place since my teenage years, and it still holds a special place in my heart. We went there for lunch today, and everything--from the food to the service--was fantastic. We started with Suntory Premium Malt's Draft, beautifully topped with a foam design that read "Hawaii," just like latte art. I ordered the Sashimi and Tempura Set, while my partner had the Teppanyaki Steak and Salmon Set with an upgrade to garlic fried rice. We also enjoyed hot sake and finished with strawberry daifuku for dessert. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious--perfectly executed. I tend to take long breaks between visits, but this time I won't wait as long. We'll definitely be back soon for dinner, which I honestly can't remember the last time I had here. This is the most authentic Japanese restaurant on the island--and I say that as someone who's originally from Japan. I highly recommend this restaurant.
We both love the food served in Suntory although we never tried any of their whisky:-) Their Feb special menu is named Shunsai-Zen, like a mini kaiseki of about 16 bites. Beautifully done, tasty morsels. Next came a small hotpot of few slices of Washu beef+ veggies. I had to doggie bag it too full. Last came the dessert, okay. Hubs had the sashimi+ black cod, cod never fishy full of fatty flavour, set meal with rice and miso soup. I really enjoyed everything in this eatery, the servers' attentive/efficient attitude, subtle elegance displayed and the quality ingredients used in their dishes. The chefs put love in their cooking. Highly recommend we enjoyed the quiet ambiance as well.
Itadakimasu... Thank you Nadine C for the lunch invite as not only I was excited to dine at Suntory since it's been forever back in my travel industry days it's always nice to have lunch with a friend. Restaurant Suntory is located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center 3rd floor in building B which is in the middle so if you're lucky to grab parking on the 3rd floor it's an easy walk to the restaurant and we sat at the regular seating versus the teppan section which was a nice and cozy. They do have quite the selection for lunch including special lunch menu, hot pot lunch but with some of my allergies I decided to go with their "Donburi Lunch of the Day" which was Maguro...yum! Their teishoku comes complete with salad, tsukemono and miso soup and since mine was a donburi rice is already part of the meal and what a colorful stunning beauty it was, so fresh and flavorful the rice was cooked to perfection while the maguro so fresh and delicate the presentation is just a work of art down to the flower radish. The staff is very welcoming and kept coming back to check on us and we had a lovely relaxing lunch in the heart of Waikiki though once you're here you'd never know. Thank you!
I loved having lunch here! This and Kiki's Tempura might have been my favorite meals this time. I ordered the miso black cod kaiseki, which also came with a bowl with small pieces of sashimi (white fish and two different cuts of tuna), miso soup (red miso), pickles, and good quality Japanese rice. The miso black cod was well-seasoned and melt-in-your-mouth soft. The sashimi was very fresh and well-presented. It's $$$$ for dinner but lunch is more like $$-$$$. The miso black cod kaiseki was $36, which is actually a lot better priced than kaiseki sets in Seattle. We were seated in the teppanyaki area, so there is some smoke from the cooking. Next time I would probably book a reservation to get to sit in the non-teppanyaki areas of the restaurant, so the sashimi taste isn't cut through with teppanyaki smell. The non-teppanyaki areas also look very nice and have smaller table seating areas. The bathroom is very clean, too, and they have their own bathroom instead of a shared one for the plaza.
Many locals avoid Waikiki because of the crowds and congestion. There are of course, special places that make coming into Waikiki a pleasure. Restaurant Suntory is one of those reasons. They are one of the Japanese restaurants that we would visit on occasion, but what has made them more special is their seasonal luncheon specials that they run from for about two months at a time. The dishes served will be offerings that are not normally served on the regular menu. The restaurant is basically divided into more regular teishoku offerings, teopan yaki or sushi bar dinibg. Three hours of validation is offered to military and Kamaaina who spend a minimum amount for most of the business hours. The parking can get full so it's best to go a little off-center of prime lunch or dinner times. read more

Came for lunch, haven't tried dinner yet! We got 3 of their lunch specials and they were all great. The black cod was flavorful and moist. The sukiyaki came with a little gas stove, and the meat was tender. Our only mild complaint was some of the tuna sashimi had a lot of sinew, making it a bit hard to eat. Service was friendly, and food came really quickly. The restaurant is posh, clean, and comfortable inside. Portion size was actually perfect - we finished everything without feeling too full or still hungry. Definitely recommend stopping by for lunch if you want to give them a try without dinner prices! read more
Came for our ani and got the set meals. Everything was so delicious and I loved that there was a mixed variety of food. There was sushi, hot pot, veggies, tempura, wagyu, and dessert. Me and my partner got different sets so we could try different things and while the set he got was more expensive I feel like the basic set came with a lot of food that left me very satisfied with everything. The service was very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was good and clean. There's parking in the hotel but for kamaaina you can get three hours free if you show your receipt to the guest services (they close at 8pm tho so plan accordingly). Overall the food was delicious but I would only come for a special occasion since it is a bit pricey. read more
This place is amazing! The rare occasions when I am in Waikiki and walked by here and think oh this place boujie looking. My friend and I always take a year into planning before we see each other. haha! Life and adult friendships. Our days aligned and I suggested we go here so made a reservation which was easy. The one thing this place did that I found odd was the reservation on app asked about allergies then they CALL prior to reservation to make sure you and your party have no allergies then they ask you again prior to ordering. They have to be sure. I guess for people who do have severe allergies it is a plus they triple check.... We came here for lunch and they have some seasonal lunch specials. They have teppanyaki or Washoku style seatings. We opt for Washoku. We ordered a refreshing drink, I had the Spring/Sakura highball and my friend had winter/yuzu. Mine was hoooweee strong whiskey with a hint of shiso, hers was more creamy sweet. I ordered tempura and sashimi lunch set which was good and the sashimi was fresh. My friend got one of their special sets, SHUNSAI-ZEN set. It had like 7 small dishes and looked so good! It looked like a good deal. For you Amex card peeps, they are part of Resy. Service was wonderful here and will definitely be back! read more
Five bright, shining stars all around! We were flying in from Kauai and our flight was delayed TWICE, and it was our last night on Oahu, so we were so grateful that the receptionists were flexible in pushing our dinner reservation back. Upon entering, there is a huge display of Japanese whiskeys. We were promptly seated, and I ordered the $85 Teppan and my BF ordered the $125 steak & lobster. Both meals include panko shrimp, veggies, and salmon. To our surprise, a tasting plate of thin roast beef slices and cheese was brought along with salads. Our entire meal was so flavorful that I did not add any shoyu or dip into the roasted garlic sauce. Also, the garlic fried rice with bits of egg and bacon was tasty all on its own. We both selected the 5 oz. Washu filets, and we were beyond satisfied. The grill master never once rushed us even though we were the last patrons of the night. The restaurant is divided into two elegant rooms: teppanyaki and sushi/sashimi. read more
Let me start off by saying, this is an OUTSTANDING omakase experience. When you first arrive at the restaurant, you will be escorted to the back "secret" room for a very nice private dining experience. The staff was very attentive and the chef/food match the high level ambiance. Each piece has a purpose in this omakase, starting with some chawamushi and working towards the amazing hairy crab. We finished the meal with dessert and even pictures with the chef! 10/10 value for what you pay 10/10 staff/environment/experience 10/10 fish quality 10/10 drinks Definitely recommend checking out this restaurant if you visit Honolulu! read more

This restaurant is located right in the strip. The staff here were super accommodating and friendly. We showed up in a big group of 10 with no reservation and were able to be seated. I cannot express how great the service here is. It is a smaller establishment and has a very peaceful and welcoming ambience to it. We had about 5 different orders of meat. It was super tender and the marinate was delicious. One of the best BBQ spots I have been to. read more

Great food freshly brought in from Japan. Good service they really took care of us, everything that I ate was so delicious, I will definitely return to eat there again. My wife and mom enjoyed their meals and special as well. If you plan to eat the specials be sure to reserve one in advance they run out quickly. read more

Great evening at the Teppanyaki table. We shared a 5oz filet dinner set and a la carte Hokkaido scallops, king oyster mushrooms and tamago nigiri. We started with the nigiri and my god, we could've been in Japan, it was that good (and I was just in Japan 1 week ago). Scallops were absolutely massive and succulent, my sister thoroughly enjoyed here well done (!) steak, and all the veges were delicious. Honestly, even the steamed white rice was incredible. Service was impeccable, though the Teppanyaki chef we had was a bit rude and argumentative when we questioned the bean sprouts he served us (which we specifically requested to omit), hence the 4 stars. read more

We had the Washoku lunch a few years ago (it was excellent), so this time we tried the Teppanyaki dinner. I've had Benihana and Tanaka of Tokyo, so I was curious to see how Suntory compared. TLDR: Suntory is Mr. Miyagi and the other restaurants are like inexperienced Daniel-san from Karate Kid. Our party of six fit perfectly around one cooking station. I believe the other restaurants fit 8, so keep that in mind if you have a large party. Service was polite and efficient. Our party ordered a wide variety of steak cuts and price points so that we could compare them. Our chef was Japanese but he could speak some English. This is not like the other restaurants. You won't get an onion volcano, a heart made out of egg, flying shrimp into hats, or a musical performance from cooking utensils. What you will see is a master chef at work. Our chef had 18(!) years of experience. 15 in Japan and 3 in Hawaii. Every move was measured and calculated to perfection. The zucchini, mushrooms, and onions that are often afterthoughts at other restaurants were prepared so well. The natural sweetness and flavor of each vegetable was expertly revealed. My son who normally doesn't like shrimp said the panko shrimp was the best shrimp he's ever had. The lobster tails were so tender and sweet. The fried rice was one of the best I've tasted. Each steak was cooked to perfection according to their temperature preferences. I challenged the chef with "rare-plus", and he delivered it perfectly. He also created a flavored fat crackling from my sirloin. My only suggestion to them would be to offer a bit of good salt and grated fresh wasabi to add some more tasting options for the steak (although I probably should have just asked them then but didn't really think about it until after the meal). The Miyazaki wagyu was super rich and tender, but I preferred the cheaper Washyu personally. Suntory is a little more expensive than the highest cost menu at Tanaka, but well worth it! read more
Service here was excellent! The renovated dining area was spacious and elegant. Tried the Special Dinner Menu (Hitsumabushi Gozen $58) includes appetizer, sashimi, and Choice of Unagi or Crab and Seafood Hitsumabushi. The unagi rice with tea/dashi broth was comforting and filling. Also tried some ala carte dishes. Veggie tempura was nicely lightly battered, a tad oily. The hot soba was great. Didn't care for the macadamia nut tofu, a bit too rich for a tofu. read more

When looking for a nice lunch spot to celebrate a special occasion, Suntory is one of my go-tos. The lunch specials are great, even if they condensed their menu from what it was previously. There's a good variety for people from Tempura, udon, soba, sashimi and tepanyakki (just know it's a different seating area and reservation area notation) We came here to celebrate my coworkers birthday and the birthday ice cream was so cute, thank you for the little special touch! I tried the daily special that was salmon, ikura, and uni donburi. Originally I was nervous it wasn't going to be enough food, but it ended up being just the right amount with the miso soup, radish and salad. You could tell everything was high quality and fresh from the shine off the food and the fresh smell. So Ono!! You'll see me back here again to celebrate a special occasion for lunch. read more

The service and the food here was so good! The restaurant itself was nice and clean. We opted to do the hibachi and I would describe it as an upscale version of what we are normally used to. No flares, tricks, or flames but what we have instead was delicate, skilled, and cooked to perfection. We were celebrating a birthday and on top of a cake at the end they surprised her with small bouquet of flowers. I also had a yuzu sorbet that came at the end it was so yummy I forgot to take a picture. read more
We decided to celebrate our 30 year anniversary lunch here. Only one server in our seating area and he was fairly new. I asked about the specials and he said he prefers meat so he would order one of the other beef dishes. Good thing because my partner prefers meat too. I ordered the Shunsai-Zen lunch special. I enjoyed the sushi. Some of the items were a bit plain but it was fresh. I liked all the different dishes. I tasted the beef sirloin and it wasn't a super good piece of meat. It was okay, a bit thin and a lunch item. Room was nice, wooden walls, chairs, bench seats, and air conditioned. There were at least 12 other diners in our section. They had another section too. I would come back. It was relaxing and I liked the ambiance. I would like to try the other items on the menu too. read more
Hands down the best Japanese teishoku and teppan in Hawaii. It never disappoint here and service is attentive and courteous. Ample parking at the Royal Hawaiian Center. For local kamaainas you can use the restaurant receipt to get more validation up to 3 hours at the customer service downstairs. The restaurant went through renovation in 2022 and the Japanese washoku side has wooden decors which give a warm feeling while the room overlooks to the Pink Lady (Royal Hawaiian Hotel). read more
The week after you come back from Japan, you mope around the house wishing you were still in Japan, eating all the things that Japan has to offer, especially Kaiseki meals. You can experience a little bit of Japan right here in Waikiki (for a hefty price). Choose washoku or teppanyaki seating, I've done both and they are fantastic. We had all kinds of great dishes in the kaiseki meal, and also ordered the Miyazaki beef sukiyaki dipped in the soft boiled onsen egg. Ahhh. Perfection. Almost like Japan! read more
When visiting Suntory, plan ahead and make reservations. Too often I've wanted to have a quick lunch at Suntory only to find out they're fully booked for lunch. My Mom loves Suntory and has been asking me to take her for awhile. Luckily I snagged reservations and ordered the limited set "Shunsai" lunch. Service at Suntory is always great. We were seated at a very nice and comfortable table. Our server was attentive and efficient. Not to mention the a/c was at a perfect temperature. Not too hot or cold which for me is hard to do. Everyone in our group found something to suit their taste. For me, the tempura and cold udon combo was excellent. Tempura was crispy, light, and had all the right vegetables with a fried shrimp. The cold udon was also good but maybe too light in flavor. My Dad had the Shunsai and he said it was special. While there wasn't a specific dish that stood out, he thought the entire set was well done and ample. My Mom had the cold soba and tempura. She enjoyed it and said it was very good. I wish they would bring back their lunch specials. I used to have this baked salmon avocado mayo dish that was very good. That was the only disappointment as I was looking forward to maybe ordering that dish. Since Suntory is located in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center parking was tight and validation limited. Overall lunch was relaxing and everyone enjoyed the food. We will definitely return!

*Review is for sushi omakase service at Suntory* My friends' family from Japan treated me to the sushi omakase dinner service at Suntory. Upon entry the omakase is in the back and the walk just to get there felt like I was going into Narnia. It was fun though and the ambiance was stellar. The sushi section was a distinct counter style with only counter seating available, so reservations are a must when attending. Every single dish our chef prepared was excellent. I think one thing to note before going to this specific omakase was that the taste buds it was catered towards was Japanese people, meaning that the flavor of the food is not as pronounced or strong as American foods or other cultures where spices and seasoning are a prominent staple. Disregarding the sushi entirely, but the regular dishes served were very light and I enjoyed how it did not overpower the palate to the point where you cannot taste the other dishes. Sushi was 10/10. Most omakases are on-point here in Hawaii. Every single one I've been to has been on point. Chef obviously has trained a lot to be able to execute and cut certain fish to bring out its best. We also had friendly banter with our chef and I always have fun speaking Japanese to everyone so I had a lot of fun here lol. This omakase was no different, and expect an amazing experience. Also if you order the Pineapple or Grapefruit sour the workers will actually grind the fruit for you fresh and put it into your drink for you. Lol fancy. Other than that it's great and worth the price for a fancy outing. Or you can be like the other group on the other side of our table. Talking about boobs and then dancing to the Japanese club after :o They think I can't understand but I know what they are saying. Bits and pieces. LOL! read more

I came here on Valentine's Day with my little one. This has been our favorite restaurant ever since my and her father found this gem before she was born!!! We always do teppanyaki side. We prefer this side because we love watching the cooking. The chef was polite and cooked our steaks perfectly. The servers kept our waters full and always were on point with when to ask for refills on other drinks. I love the location of the restaurant and set up. They are busy a lot so the fact they figured out how to make both sides of the restaurant run so smoothly is amazing. I recommend this place for any occasion. You won't be sorry ~ read more

Made a reservation for 2 for their omakase seating at 5:30pm. It was our first time here, and we love omakases, so decided to give this place a try. This restaurant has a variety of dine in options other than omakase also. We arrived shortly before 5:30p, and they started with those who had reservations. I don't tryly understand the system as there were other folks waiting outside that didn't go with us towards the back in the private room for the omakase. Once we checked in, they guided us to a private room in the back. The inside was very clean with nice wood aesthetics. They are located on the 3rd floor of the Royal Hawaiian Center. Our Chef was Tomoya Makabe, who is originally from Hokkaido, Japan. He was nice and welcoming. He showed great technique and skills when preparing each item. Also explained everything throughout the course and appeared very sensitive to all guests present. He also asked if anyone had specific food allergies prior to serving. The other male staff member who assisted all throughout the course was also very kind and helpful. Overall, the omakase was great! Very fresh fish and they melted in our mouths. The chawanmushi was also very soft and delicious. The uni just melted in our mouths- yum! The mackerel was the only one that tasted a bit fishy (I've had before), but even the ikura wasn't fishy which was a pleasant surprise! I normally avoid ikura bc it tends to be fishy, but the one we had here was not even close to fishy. They also surprised us with an anniversary dessert bowl at the very end, which was a sweet gesture. Ambiance was also good- definitely more intimate. The Chefs greet us at the door after our course similar to other omakase restaurants. They also don't rush anyone out, but it is respectful to keep in mind that there is a next omakase seating if you are seated at the 5:30pm course. Our course was approx 1.5h. read more

TL;DR Upscale and refined Japanese dining in the heart of Waikiki. NOTE: this review is for the Washoku dining experience. ----- My wife, daughter, and I dined at Suntory on a Friday night. We were able to secure a reservation at 5:30pm opening and were seated promptly. Parking is available at the Royal Hawaiian Center and is validated by the restaurant. Of course, we kicked off the night with a couple ice cold Suntory draft beers. Yummy!!! I ordered the "TOKI" hot pot and sushi course plus an ikura temaki, my wife ordered the "IRODORI" seasonal kamameshi course plus an uni temaki, and we ordered a bowl of hot soba and the miso salmon belly for our daughter. Everything was delicious. The highlights from my meal were the mini wagyu sukiyaki, the tempura (fried dish), and the miso black cod (grilled dish). My wife's favorites were the chawanmushi and the kamameshi. The service was fantastic (very attentive!) throughout the meal. As a parent, I also appreciated their valet service for strollers. It's pricey here but definitely worth it. I'm excited to return to try their teppan offering. read more

Shunsai-zen course at Suntory Waikiki is a splurge for lunch but worth it!!! James was our waiter, excellent service and this is the third time that we have come to experience this monthly special since October 2025. They have other specials that we were considering the next time. Parking has never been a problem and with validation from the restaurant we pay $3. read more
We had the omakase, so please keep that in mind. This is what you would expect for a high class, upper echelon omakase. The fish is fresh, and there are some unique and delicious versions of the classic. In this place, you won't find california rolls or that fusion stuff. This is the what I call the traditional version. The ambiance is calm and collected, like being in a high end, private dinning room. You don't hear any of the other customers outside. The executive Takuya Kanto was at the helm of the 9 seater and provided excellent service. It does help enormously if you could speak Japanese, however, he's still gracious and tries to his best. The service was excellent as the other servers could speak English well. The Sake is great, we asked for a recommended course and he asked how many sake. We said three, and we got excellent (and expensive) choices. After the omakase, be sure to save room - there's an opportunity to get a repeat of what you like. AND there may be other items you could request that you were not aware of. For example, he busted out the blow torch and we got wagyu nigiri. Will definitely go again! We want to try the lunch omakase (which should be just as good - and we'll ask for Chef Kanto again, too!) read more
Celebrated my friend's birthday here at lunch (it's difficult to find a good birthday lunch place). The service is great and the menu is the limited seasonal menu (winter). Look how beautiful and great variety the dishes are! We all were satisfied . Thank you very much! read more

Heard about this restaurant on Waikiki and decided to try it. Everything we had was fresh! I wouldn't say it blew me off but sashimi was fresh and I guess this is important. My sukiyaki was not out of ordinary but could be better. I like the ambiance, very simple Japanese designs - clean. Restaurant is well lit and quiet. Service is excellent too. read more

11/17/18: for Honolulu Restaurant Week (11/9- 11/17/24), its shunsaizen lunch set (limit to 18/day) was for only $40 (instead of it's usual $46). Everything was so delicious and fresh. Great price for the variety, quality and thoughtfulness in the menu. It's been a while, but I just had to get the fresh pineapple sour (thanks to my bf for doing all the juicing.) He really enjoyed the cocktails he had. We used to get their shunsaizen lunch set every month, but they gradually kept increasing the price so we don't go as often, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it at this discounted price. Service is always really friendly (the servers tend to remember us). Tip: free parking up to 3 hours with special validation for kamaaina and military, just have to show your appropriate ID and @royalhwnctr receipt(s) ($10 total minimum) at Helumoa Hale Guest Services on the bottom floor. read more

How much is the omakase?
We reserve a table for 3 its for 2 adult and 1 child?
They have 3 seating areas. Washoku or traditional Japanese food. Teppanyaki area. Sushi area. I think there should be no problem in reserving seats for 2 adults and a child in the traditional seating area, and depending on the size/age of the child,…

Are lunch menu items available for take out?
Aloha Janet , Yes , Restaurant Suntory does offer Take Out as well for lunch but they…
Can you eat at the teppanyaki during lunch?
Yes - you can ask to be seated in the Washoku area(standard Japanese) or Teppanyaki rooms. The rooms are separate. You can also order a Teppanyaki offering while in the Washoku dining area, you just miss the "cooking show"! The timing of when the…
