Shiro's Saimin Haven...a landmark eatery in Ewa Beach…read more I haven't been here in over a year. Not a saimin guy and it's too hot in August for a bowl of saimin for lunch. I got the Bento A for takeout. It consists of 1 scoop of rice, 1 maki sushi, 1 inari sushi ( classic taste, vinegary without shoyu ) 1 slice of teri beef, 1 slice of Spam, 2 slices of chicken katsu, on top a bed of fried noodles. Everything in the bento was good...fried noodles were a bit oily. Teri beef was tender and well seasoned. At, $20, it was a big meal. I could not finish it all. Open from 700a until 900p daily. They have a good sized dining area - I did not go inside. Located at the makai end of Ewa Beach Shopping Center. Lots of stalls nearby.

We were in the Aiea area and were looking for a place to have dinner. We ended up at Shaka Noodle…read more The food here is fantastic, portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. I got the two choice special combo $16.25 plus $2 upgrade for my black garlic mini ramen. I got the black garlic mini ramen with mini pork fried rice and gyoza. My hubby got the beef curry rice $15.50 with an order of mochiko chicken $7.99. The mini ramen was huge. It totally filled me up. I had to take the whole order of mini fried rice home. The ramen broth was well seasoned and not watered down like some other places. It also came with a huge piece of char siu and kamaboko. Almost everyone that came in got an order of fried rice. I can see why. It had bits of pork, kamaboko, green onion and egg in it. It also had great wok hei, which made this dish totally stand out. I tried the beef curry and it was yummy. His plate was huge with big chunks of beef. He couldn't even finish it. He thought the portion was going to be smaller. That's why he also ordered the mochiko chicken. He ended up taking the whole order home also. If you're in the area, you need to try this place out. They do a lot of take out orders and they give a military discount.

There is a tv that was playing Tom & Jerry then Sponge Bob which kept the kids dining in glued to the tv while you can have a conversation. The food came out in 20-25min and it was fresh. The chicken was good, seasoned and moist. The Chicken Fried Rice was also good, just a bit bland, I should have asked for hot sauce as it needs it. The teriyaki chicken was ok, a bit of an aftertaste that I was not familiar with. That was the only 3 of all the dishes. Highly recommend trying, I will be back to try the ramen. They do offer a military discount.

My favorites were the pork belly and short rib. They have a variety of broth and I tried the sukiyaki and tonkotsu. The sukiyaki went well with the meat. 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!

They have a variety of chili oils and satay sauces, from the standard sriracha and sambal to some that are definitely homemade. I recommend their combination beef pho and their spicy beef stew (bun bo hue). I order the bun bo hue without the pigs blood and I sub pho noodles for the round noodles. Definitely worth it to come here. It gets busy at lunch and dinner.

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).

Not all-you-can-eat, birthday boy just wanted to eat certain dish and we had 3 seniors who couldn't eat that much. Lots of parking available, outside restaurant mostly people using laundry nearby. We were welcomed and guided to our table. We ordered happy hour appetizers and main dishes. Salmon and ahi were ok. But the hamachi was really good. Not sure if it's the season but it was better than ahi or salmon. The fish were all fresh and big sizes. Very good value. Hotate scallops from Japan were great too, sweet and tender. I didn't care for the yuzu pepper on it, it only masked the flavor so I had to remove it. I ordered the Hoe Deop Bab. It comes with rice but I didn't need it so gave to my brother. I thought it was squid but it was the scallops in the salad so I was happy. The peanut dressing was really good and it went well with the sashimi. We had good family time. We asked for more hot tea and the serving girls came and filled it up. They left a jug of water on the side so we helped ourselves to water so it was less interruption. Servers were nice and courteous. Bathroom, need key and go outside the restaurant. Good quality sashimi/sushi here.

I've heard about this spot for a while. I love sushi and especially an AYCE sushi spot so when I…read moreheard that this spot could possibly be one of the best ones on the island, I finally went to try it out. I would note that they do close at 8PM and stop seating AYCE sushi quite early (from what I've heard as early as 6:45). We went super early for that reason, specifically at 4, so there really weren't as much people doing the AYCE yet. We walked up to the counter and let the cashier know we wanted to dine in and do the AYCE. A different person then walked us to the other side where the dine in seats are. We're given the menu and an expo marker. Then they came back with the wasabi as well as taking our order (aka taking the menu) We got: - Aburi salmon !!, ahi, Hamachi !!, ebi, scallop - Shrimp tempura, vegetable tempura!!, calamari!! - Unagi nigiri !! - Green dragon roll - Fire cracker roll - Baked mussels !! Everything was good, the menu is not super expansive with much less choices than, for example, Kan Sushi. I would also note that they kind of pack each piece with rice. I'm unsure how strict they are regarding the left over rice policies, but if you'd definitely get full very quickly with their rice to fish ratio. I'd recommend the aburi items (maybe except the ebi as it felt especially small the amount of rice). I wouldn't recommend their shrimp tempura as it is definitely pre-packaged shrimp tempura refried. (I also put an "!!" next to the items I would REALLY recommend. Otherwise, I don't think I will come back. Not that it was a bad experience or anything but in my opinion there's just simply better AYCE sushi spots out there.
