   Someone needs to tell the owner that bare concrete flooring is neither clean nor cool. When they had a place on Kapiolani, it was clear that their intention was not to stay long once they moved from their original lease location literally next door. This place has that dark and dingy feel, especially if you enter from the back. My biggest complaint is the VERY small portions. This is a glorified noodle shop. I realize $15-20 bucks is mot a bankbreaker, but for what you get, literally a mouthful, it's disturbing. I had lunch on a Sunday for two- the second person being a woman that doesn't eat much. With tax and tip it was $132.00. . . for noodles. Granted, 2 sakes and 1 chardonnay accounted for $32.00 of that bill, and $25.00 was tip, so $75 for a couple of very small bowls of very tasty noodles. We actually left hungry lol. You have to do better to get my business back.

   Food was tasty, although portions were small. We ordered the Kirin pitcher of beer but was overcharged by $5.00. The late night dining price had $21.00, but we were charged $26.00 instead. Parking was plenty at night in back with minimal fee.

   The table was too small for 4 people and their dishes. But overall the food was great.

   We’ve been here a few times. Lively, busy kitchen, usually full tables with some unreserved spots at the bar. Food is always first rate. Reserve a table, if you want a table.

   Kaimuki Shokudo had very little parking but the food here was good. The honey toast though was considered pricey for me. $17 just for one layer, that's a lot from the last time we paid at the Kapiolani Blbd location.

    Good food at good prices, great ambiance. Not too many people around for a late lunch so pretty quiet.
