Where to eat Japanese food in Oahu: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on Japanese food in Oahu, Hawaii, United States. The Hawaiian island of Oahu is a surfer’s paradise, with swelling waves that can reach epic heights. No wonder, then, that it’s the site of one of the world’s premier competitions, the Triple Crown of Surfing. If hanging ten isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the beautiful beaches – particularly famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Art connoisseurs will appreciate the annual Hale'iwa Arts Festival, a celebration of local crafts, painting, jewelry, sculpture, dance, and music.

Sansei has some killer sushi. Thatâs why I went... it did not disappoint. My two sushi rolls had great flavor, but were a little small. 6 pieces in a roll isnât that common where Iâm from (usually a roll is eight). My wife got the duck entree and said it was phenomenal! The service was great, too. Get a reservation! We had one, thankfully, but there was an hour wait at 7:00 on a Monday night. Aloha and thank you for taking the time to post your review and your comments. We appreciate them very much and we're glad you had a good experience dining with us.

Excellent takeout spot for poke bowls with a central Waikiki location. There are lots of options here; so one can customize the perfect poke bowl. Unfortunately, the place was out of sushi rice the weeknight evening we visited. Service here was friendly. Fish is super fresh. Don't hesitate to have lunch or dinner here, there are a few tables. Most people do takeout.

Trendy Bar scene with open kitchen. Comfortable seating in all dining rooms. Great and attentive service. Great food! Loved their Sticky Ribs, juicy, tender and delicious; their Sashimi Salad (President Obamaâs favorite) is out of this world. A true great and enjoyable culinary experience. One of the best restaurants I have visited. Ask your waiter for their signature and favorite dishes and you wonât be disappointed. Reservation a definite recommendation.

I wanted to try this place after reading reviews, and was glad we did. We've never had tonkatsu before and our server kindly and patiently - but not patronizingly - helped us order and explained how to make the sauce, etc. The food was great, particularly the fried pork itself, which was outstanding. A great experience.

Came here twice in one week because our first visit was so good that we wanted more. I was a little apprehensive at first, given the old school decor and dress code. Worry not. As long as you dress appropriately, they welcome you. You donât need to be super dressed up. I wore a Hawaiian shirt and khakis both times, no problem. We had Wagyu rib eye, and Beef Wellington. Both done to perfection and well seasoned. There house made steak sauces were on point. Appetizers of onion soup and Ahi carpaccio were amazing. They do the old cart service for bananas foster and strawberry jubilee. Excellent. Wine list is very good. Seafood is on the menu, looked great but I did not try any seafood entree. Service is top notch all the way. The only mark down I could give them is that the Air conditioning has a hard time keeping the temp down enough during crowded hours on hot evenings.Dear timthe 1,Thank you for the kind words..very happy to hear you enjoyed your time with us!As for the dress code, because we have many guests who are celebrating something special, we feel it is only right to create an atmosphere that is fitting for such. We ask that gentlemen wear collared shirts and full shoes, no sandals or slippers(flip-flops), for all guest we ask that no baseball style caps or beachwear are worn.We realize that when the weather outside is hot and we are full, the air conditioning can be an issue, for that I apologize, we hope to have this remedied soon.Again, Thank you!

4. Roy's Waikiki Beach

From the moment we walked up the steps until we walked out, the service was wonderful. Every person we interacted with had a great attitude, were helpful and provided excellent service. And, as with the other 2 Roy's at which I've been a guest, the food was amazing! I wanted to try the sushi, but knew I wouldn't have room with the rest of the meal. I had one of the "tasting" meals...so delicious! The 3 sample appetizers were the perfect start.The fish was so delicate and perfectly cooked and enhanced (but not overwhelmed) by the sauce. The pineapple upside-down cake was the perfect ending!The restaurant is in the Embassy Suites, so there are accommodations if you have mobility issues. Note that there are steps to the main hostess desk, but there's also a door from the hotel side so if you're in a wheelchair, there's still easy access. The staff is so helpful and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience.

We were seated immediately near several tables for wedding guests enjoying their after ceremony dinner. It was a joy to see so many happy people for a very special occasion. The service was fast, the food was very good, and the drinks were perfectly made. My only complaint is that some birds flew in to find food left on the floor. We had to shoo them away when they got too close.

My son and I made a quick trip to Hawaii to relax before he began school. We arrived in HNL, changed clothes and headed directly for Marukame. It was so hot and humid (89/75% humidity) outside and their Udon is the only hot soup I would ever consider eating in such heat! They make fresh noodles right in front of you, and their broth is like no other! They offer all kinds of individual tempura sticks (I had shrimp) to go with the soup. SOOO Yummy! We even went back for one more bowl but found they had closed for renovations! They're prices are so low ($3.65) regular sized bowl, I would pay triple for their delicious soup and we definitely visit next time I'm in Hawaii!

Might be the best sushi or poke on the island of Oahu. If you are not into raw fish they also have other dishes. Seating is either Japanese style, cushions on the floor or at tables. The service was excellent. Nice drive to get there up the North Shore.
