Overall a great lunch.

Wow! The spicy ahi bomb is by far my favorite thing on the menu so far. It was soooo flavorful and…read moreliterally melts in your mouth. The salmon avocado roll tasted super fresh but wasn't anything mind blowing. The Domo special poke bowl was just average to me. For the price, I'd rather get my poke fix from somewhere else. But still all the food was fresh and tasty. I have two young kids so it's important that they get a balanced meal when eating out so the salmon bento box was the perfect meal for them to share. It came with miso soup which they loved and healthy sides like edamame. My family and I came on a Sunday for lunch and the restaurant was packed but were seated super quickly. We were all starving and were extremely pleased that the food came out so fast. The staff were so kind and helpful. They made the dining experience so easy. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a casual, quick lunch and don't want to go somewhere that is too upscale with kids. They had a high chair for my toddler and offer free juice for the kids. For the freshness of the fish, and wonderful service, I will definitely be back!

We both…read morethe chicken katsu and ebi fry lunch special and we added 10 piece katsu-kushi and 2 pieces of the mushroom katsu kushi (I think I honestly do not remember). The chicken katsu and ebi fry lunch special was good, the curry was pretty flavorful. It reminds me of golden curry I'd make at home. The katsu was crispy as expected. I liked the rice too, the perfect kind to soak up the curry and pair with the katsu. The Katsu Kushi was fun to eat as it had a good amount of variety. I enjoyed the mochi quite a lot, the beef was a bit tough to eat, and I would note that the soft shell crab was extremely fishy. Like INEDIBLE fishy. I don't know if they always have it like that or if it was just an off one. Either way it was NOT pleasant. The service was friendly, I would definitely visit again if I'm craving katsu and/or curry and was near the area (wouldn't go out of my way for it though).

By chance, I saw they were having a Senior Special so we decided to go and check it out. So Glad We Did!!!! We've been there 2 weeks in a row! Here's more info on the Senior Special -- You have to be 60+ years old, it's daily from 4:00 - 5:00, it's pork nabe only (no substitutions) and the cost is $17. We always get the pirikara soup base. Love the taste -- they say it's a spicy garlic shoyu base but I don't think it's too spicy.. I actually add more togarashi to mine for a little extra kick. It comes with several thinly sliced pork slices, napa, choi sum, carrot, tofu, shiitake, kuzukiri (clear noodle), chives, and rice. It's the perfect combination and amount to satisfy! To make it even better, the Senior Special timing coincides with their daily Happy Hour -- how terrific can it get!! With Happy Hour there are drink and pupu specials that you can also enjoy. They have Happy Hour 2 times a day -- 4:00 - 6:00 and 8:30 to close. We order a Kirin pitcher and I always get a Melon Shochu. If you never tried their Melon Shochu, you should definitely give it a try. They put a whole melon Melona ice cream bar in their shochu mix. It is delicious -- almost feels like you're drinking a refreshing dessert. Oh.... did I forget to mention, it's a Happy Hour special, $7.00. Our waiter, Gabe, was AWESOME! All of the waiters at Ichiriki Aiea are good but Gabe was probably one of the best we've had. Very nice, always coming by to make sure we are okay, and just very pleasant to talk to. There were a couple of things that really stood out for us. My husband always requests a cup of ice which he scoops into his glass of beer. Even before his ice ran out, Gabe brought him another full cup of ice without my husband even asking! Wow, that's service! When we were leaving we wanted to take home the rest of the nabe we couldn't finish so he brought us a container. After putting it a bag, he decided to double bag it saying it would be terrible if it leaked and broke through. Yes, Ichiriki is very lucky to have him! So happy he was our waiter! Ichiriki is located right across from Pearlridge Macy's on the Ewa side. It's on the 2nd level which can be accessed from ramps on both sides of the restaurant area below. There's plenty of parking right in front of the restaurant so parking is never a problem. The restaurant has a real inviting atmosphere with their modern Japanese decor throughout. Inside you can select either standard seating or Japanese style seating. Just a note - there's an opening for your legs so you don't have to worry about how you're going to sit through the whole meal. If you're over 60 and love nabe, I definitely recommend you coming for the Senior Special. I'm not sure how long the special is going to lasts but it's definitely a winner for us!

This review is strictly for the server that I recently had here. I wasn't able to get his name but…read morehe had longer hair (like halfway to a bob) and large framed glasses. He was extremely sassy, rude and inattentive. Made our party feel like we were an inconvenience to him. I legit had to ask myself during dinner, "where am I?" Because I thought I was at one of those restaurants in the mainland where you pay to get bad service. You know the ones where they purposely rude? It was crazy. He made us feel so stupid for asking questions. My friend was missing her ponzu so she asked him if she could get it, he pointed down and said "what's this?" Like that's just crazy to me. Never filled up our waters. Didn't even check on us after the food came. Then after we asked him for water it took him so long just to come back, we even had to flag him down just to pay our bill. I could go on and on about the night and honestly this was my favorite restaurant up until last night. I highly doubt I'll be back and I promise you if he is assigned to me as a waiter I will get up and leave.

This also came with miso soup, salad and rice. I ordered the early bird with the garlic chicken and it was really good, crispy and garlicky, and enjoyed the shrimp and vegetable tempura. We also got some soybeans as an appetizer prior to ordering. Every table was taken so advise reservations if going for saturday dinner. The service was outstanding and our server allowed our bill to be split among 4 credit cards which was nice. We all enjoyed our meal and i recommend this japanese restaurant!

I've seen the sunset platter prices go up and up and UP and finally up to $85 now; it's incredible how expensive everything is getting. That being said, the other day was our chance to go since my wife decided to go with friends there. I didn't really know what to expect. Honestly most places just get more expensive and worse and worse so I wasn't expecting much. When I got there, I found the service to be good and the prices pretty reasonable. The lunch/dinner special is a nice value and that's what I got. For $25, you get to choose from a selection of different items. I think their beer is also really reasonable - I think it was $8 for a 20oz Asahi which tasted GREAT!!!!! Now on to the food. I took a few bites and it took me back to when they were at Ward ave..... it tasted exactly the same! Not many places can do that. I won't say the portions were really big but it was a reasonable serving size. Everything tasted as it should and everyone had a good time. I am definitely coming back - the old school taste is great and the prices reasonable.

I had the tonkatsu curry, and as a big curry fan, it's good. Tonkatsu wasn't too oily, meat was juicy, and the curry taste was taste-in. I've also had the poke nachos, shrimp/vegetable tempura, and various bento dishes--always at least solid. Finally, appreciate the servers. Depending on when you go, it can get busy, but we've never had to wait too long for food and waters get refiled/plates get cleared. The underneath parking can get tight as well. Will continue to come here, it's a staple!

Original review: 1-star Updated review: 4-star…read more Update: Restaurant management provided an excellent follow-up within 24 hours, provided an overview of the chicken katsu preparation, and committed to follow-up and consistency in training in order to ensure food quality meets customer expectations. Will definitely be back because all other dishes we had were great and service was attentive and efficient! Original review: Service and staff were stellar. But the chicken katsu was one of the worst I've ever had on O'ahu. The chicken katsu was greasy and soaked in old oil that tasted rancid and oxidized, which made the panko a disappointingly saturated mess. The panko was way too browned, and neither flaky or freshly crunchy like katsu should truly be, and was a far cry from the photo in the menu. The poor, fatty chicken quality and the rubbery skin left on the chicken pieces just added to the gristly and chewy nature of the katsu. Charging customers these prices for this kind of subpar quality chicken is absolutely insulting, and we couldn't even finish the dish. It's such a disappointment to write this kind of review, but others need to know what they're getting when they order katsu at Gyotaku.

They also give you either a sorbet or ice cream at the end for dessert. Service: the servers were very attentive and brought out the meat quickly. Ambiance: the feel of the place is pretty homey and simple. Price: the price has gone up over the years, but I still think its worth it for the variety of options and quality of meat.

Time for an update... ROKARU STILL TAKES THE WIN!!…read more We've been to several other hot pot spots around the island over the past years, and we can confidently say Rokaru is still our favorite. The broths (Rokaru broth in particular) are the most flavorful, the protein selection is the best, and the service is consistently outstanding. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and quick to refill or help with anything you need, which really makes the whole experience enjoyable. The self-serve veggie bar is our fave too since they've added fresh enoki mushrooms. For me, I load up on equal parts veggies & meats, so I don't feel too bad going hard on the AYCE haha! It feels like there's something for everyone on the Premium AYCE. Seafood, veggies, appetizers, meats, starches, then the best part is ending with Dave's Ice Cream dessert! Yummy :) We also recently learned they offer a 5% military discount, which is another thoughtful bonus. After trying other places, Rokaru continues to stand out for us with its combination of flavor, freshness, variety, service, and overall value. It's still the hot pot place we recommend first to anyone looking for a solid dinner option. It's become one of those places we keep coming back to because every visit is consistently great. Highly recommend if you're craving hot pot!
