    The food was good. The only problem was that the vent was not working at our table. We received all the smoke from the grill. Otherwise I would recommend it for the experience.

    It is always entertaining to visit a Tanaka restaurant and to watch the talented show the chefs put on. The location of this one is easy for attending after dinner entertainment in the heart of Waikiki.

    We had a great time at this restaurant. Chris was our cook and he was very interactive and put on a good show. The support staff was amazing and we always had what we needed.

    We had to wait 40 minutes for our table to be ready after our 8:30pm reservation. The management was unapologetic and not sympathetic to our hungry and tired family with an already late reservation time.

    30回以上利用しています。 年末の予約はいつものようにオーバーブッキングなんだろうなと仕方なく待ちました。 しかし、着席後、今回ほど飲み物を待たされた事はありません。 料理人のパフォーマンスはこの頃の人と違ってとても楽しくて良かったです。
