    The service here is great, but I feel that the katsu here is not necessarily better than the ones I have had in LA. They had a lunch special where I got some udon, rice, balls, and a small piece for katsu for a great deal.

    If you happen to be in the Ala Moana Shopping Center and crave Japanese cuisine, stop by this gem for a semi upscale, yet casual dining experience. There were five of us, and most of us had the Shokudou Set and some had the Combination. I enjoyed the Shokudo and walked out feeling beyond satisfied. We were serviced quickly and the waiting time for our food was just right. Comfortable seating area and lighting. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Definitely a return spot for me.

    Rokkaku is located at 2nd floor at Ala Moana Shopping Center. I made reservation on Saturday for dinner. I got seated immediately when I got in. The services was just ok. * Pork Lion Tonkatsu (8/10) - Not the best Tonkatsu with that price $32 +$3 to make a set with rice and Miso soup. The Tonkatsu has its texture and not too tender. * Tempura-Don (6/10) - my friend ordered this and she said the sauce was very salty. Overall this place is overpriced. I think I can find another place which is cheaper with better quality of food and service.

    This is our second time here. They accommodated us with a baby stroller! Thank you. My husband and I ordered the Berkshire Pork Fillet Cutlet and added a set meal that comes with rice, miso soup and pickled vegetables. We really enjoyed it, they were very delicious. Portions were good as well. The servers were quick and attentive and although there weren't much people dining in, they checked in on us quite often, which we truly appreciated. The place was very clean, cozy and elegant. We will definitely be back!

    Very nice trendy popular restaurant on the mall level of Ala Moana shopping center! It's facing Mauna next to Victoria Secrets! Please refer to pictures below as it is very pricey but that doesn't seem to stop diners! Went on a Thursday for lunch & it and was crowded! Recommended that you make reservations and go at 11am when it first opens! I had shrimp tempura donburi which was good but not exceptional for specially for $28!

    I used to come to this restaurant at least monthly when I lived here back in 2017. Unsure if it was just this one situation, but the level of quality in service and food has significantly degrated. Unsure if it's new management or simply new employees since then, but the experience overall was mediocre at best and enough to remove this restaurant from my favorite tonkatsu spot in hawaii. Service definitely made my group feel rushed as if they wanted to quickly flip our table to get the next group in. I was dining with some seniors and one of them made a complaint about the quality of the butter fish to where it was simply disregarded with the statement that they marinate the fish overnight which should be sufficient (anyone who cooks miso butter fish knows this is not sufficient). The food I ordered was a mixed tonkatsu meal. The batter overall didn't feel as flaky as it used to before and the meat was chewy and rubbery in areas giving the impression of either chewing or tendon or being overcooked. Ambiance is clean enough.

    If you're looking for a good Katsu place in town I recommend giving this place a try! ***What I ordered **Mix Katsu Set (9/10) ~ The meats were soft and cooked to perfection. Although, it was interesting. Some of the breading would stay onto the meats while sometimes it would kind of fall apart. I'm just happy that it wasn't served soggy. Everything was very crispy. In addition, the miso soup and tsukemono were very refreshing and paired well with the Katsu! Overall, I highly recommend you make reservations as it does get pretty busy (especially for dinner). Also they have some really good gelatos as well. The honey yogurt one is my favorite if you get the chance to try it! :)

    Rokkaku Hamakatsu ***** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ***** Food: ***** Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: **** Service: **** Parking: ***** Rokkaku Hamakatsu has moved up to my #2 favorite Japanese restaurant on Oahu. I enjoy their light assorted tempura, miso butterfish, and Berkshire pork loin cutlet. For the last three years, I have been visiting Japan twice a year for 2-3 weeks each time and my favorite activity is eating at their specialty restaurants. Over the years, I've learned what good Japanese food is. Rokkaku Hamakatsu's food is as good as the Japanese restaurants in Japan! I enjoy eating their combination teshoku and their Berkshire pork loin cutlet is on par with Tonkatsu Tamafuji, without any lines. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Assorted tempura = A Miso butterfish = A Berkshire pork loin cutlet = A (Sorry! These are so good that I will not be ordering anything else.) Yelp: https://yelp.to/uAVjxwYd7z YELP: Milton K Sorry! They allow only one 12 second video & the remaining to 3 seconds. The full video and pictures of the entire menu can be found on other platforms/apps: MiltonIn808 RATINGS KEY: A = Really Good - one of the best B = Good - would order again C = ok - similar, nothing special D = Not very good - wouldn't order F = Terrible - avoid

    Went here for lunch with a few colleagues. The ambiance is nice, relatively quiet. Service is good and prompt. The food options were good, something for most everyone without being a very large menu. I opted for the mix tonkatsu, which included pork loin cutlet, pork fillet cutlet, Holland cutlet, and fried shrimp. I love variety so enjoyed this. Holland cutlet is pork with cheese in the middle. It was ok but cheese is not necessary if the pork is good (and it is good). The katsu was perfectly fried and accompanied with miso soup, rice, cabbage salad, and some pickled vegetables. I'd recommend this restaurant but make reservations. They are pretty busy. It is a good option if you can't get into Tamafuji. And the location is good if you want to walk around/shop afterwards.

    Salad included

    Nice quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle of the mall especially when you're tired from after Xmas shopping. A lovely alternative to the food court dining at the mall. You can step inside and feel like you're in Japan for a meal. Lunch and dinner menu is the same which means lunch is a little on the pricier side. My friend and I both got noodles with 2 hand rolls (choice of salmon, hamachi, tuna, or unagi) set for $26. She chose hot udon and I chose hot soba. The temaki were delicious with generous portions of hamachi. Our meals came with a simple but delicious green salad topped with tiny crunchy balls and a dressing that made it perfect! We were quite full at the end and my friend only ate half her noodles. We got to chatting with our neighbor who got a tonkatsu (apparently what they're known for) and salmon combination. Her daughter got a nabeyakiudon that came with tempura which I was eyeing on the menu. Besides the food, she likes coming here for the clean bathroom that has a working Toto toilet! Will be back for both! (My only complaint was I think the food had a lot of MSG. I should have not had so much of the soup broth.) Was gonna give 5 stars for food and facilities but took one off because the msg made me feel thirsty and dehydrated.

    Got a side salad for the 2 combination order
    Gilbert S.

    I ended up here craving a tonkatsu dish. It surely didn't disappoint. I ordered the 2 item combination and asked for the better tonkatsu. It's not the best compared to Tonkatsu Tamafuji but it's convenient because it is easier to get into since it's located at Ala Moana mall (same level as Longs). Ambiance is a little more on the dimmer side and has multiple tables with a bar area and at the back of the restaurant, there is a limited seating area where you can remove your shoes and sit on a cushioned seating. Service was mediocre at best but it's alright. More older crowd eat here. I'd say come here if you're immediately craving a tonkatsu dish!

    Tasty salad, but portion was very small.
    Jerry E.

    Returned visit, after a long pause. This time it was even a better experience. Pleasantly surprised how good their tonkatsu & shrimp tempura sets were that I have long forgotten. Without exaggeration, their tonkatsu set rivaled, or even surpassed those "hard to get in" competitors. Tonkatsu lovers, save your frustration and lengthy waiting time, check out this place for yourself; you can easily make reservations in advance, too!! Without a doubt, I am sure you will be glad you did!

    I had been here years ago and since I don't go to Ala Moana Center, I have forgotten about it. The ambiance is elegant and clean. The food is always delicious. The service is excellent. We had some lunch menu items but of course the katsu is always delicious. This time the shrimp tempura held a bit too much oil so when I bit into it, I actually could taste the oil which wasn't so pleasant. The katsu in itself was delicate and delicious. Desserts are not too sweet which are delicious! Always enjoy delicious and clean Japanese food

    All I can say about eating at the - "Fun Station" is that it's more fun when eating with a friend,…read more& getting a 20% discount.........well, that's just an extra bonus! So the thing about coming to Fun Station is the "suspended flying noodle thingy" which I didn't go for, but if you like Instagramable stuffs, then I supposed you would probably go for that flying-noodle dish. As for me, I mainly came to try their Minute Chicken Cake Noodles, and as a bonus......... I actually got a 20% discount thanks to my friend - Jennifer C. who let a Bruddah know about da DEALAGES in da Sunday food section newspaper, as they had a coupon! The Sunday morning when I came with my friend, I can clearly see that this restaurant was thriving, as every table in the restaurant was taken. Fun Station specializes in noodles, but if you're not into that, they do serve other items like - soups, vegetable dishes, rice plates, & porridge (jook). Upon looking over the menu, we ordered the following items - 1. Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings ($9.95) for an appetizer 2. Minute Chicken Cake Noodles ($17.95 - minus da 20% coupon DEALAGES) 3. Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton in soup ($18.95) What can I say about da grub??? Da chicken wings came out hot & crispy. Although they featured only "flats" vs. drums (I like drums), I must say da wings was nicely executed. As for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles.........nicely plated on a fancy smanshy panda plate. The cake noodles weren't drowning in gravy, so the noodles stayed crispy on the dish. I really liked how they did this dish, and would easily come back here to eat it again. My friend had the Beef Brisket Tendon & Won Ton soup. The dish looked good, and there weren't any complaints, so I take it that it was pretty ono! Overall, a very satisfying meal and the service here was on point, as the staff was friendly & very efficient. Easy 5 stars for the Minute Chicken Cake Noodles! Chance 'em!

We ordered shortly and our food came out fairly quickly, hot and fresh. All were very flavorful. We even ordered Ma Po Tofu as takeout for our daughter for dinner. That was also very good. Yes, think we found our new Chinese restaurant and will be back probably very soon.

The texture is more enjoyable when eating. Flat noddle - would have prefer to be more wide in size. Had the beef noodle classic -flavor in broth was decent, but could use with additional pickle vegetables to bring some sour and cut the richness of the broth. beef itself was very tender and came in separate bowl. Breakdown easily. not spicy at all though. next dish tried - was the pickle fish noodle - first time trying to dish anywhere. Surprisingly preferred this over the beef noodle. a little bit of sour, but just the right amount with the creamy broth mix. This with the chewy noodle was bomb.

Everything was great but the beef in the soup was the highlight, it was soft but not too soft and full of flavor. It paired perfectly with the noodles and soup.

The tables and benches are very basic and not cushioned, which makes for quick customer turnover. We hardly waited 2 minutes before they called us; even though there was a queue the entire time we were there it seems they go really quickly. Focus is on noodles (recommended) or rice dishes. We had beef chow fun (thick noodles) and a rice-noodle soup with pork and picked cabbage. Both dishes were very good. The chow fun was smoky, as if cooked on high heat, and the rice noodles were nicely spiced. The rice noodles came in a delicious broth. Parking is tough in Chinatown but there are several pay lots around. Be careful because the private pay lots can get expensive. There's also two municipal pay lots, each about 2 blocks away.

I understand times are hard, especially for small businesses, in this economy but pouring more broth would've made a big difference. Even if I had to po it in the microwave myself.
