    高齢の両親との旅行で、父がハワイ旅行に行く際は毎回利用します。 ガーリックチャーハンは、美味しいので好きなのですが、ボリュームが多すぎで半分以上たべれませんでした。 サービスチャージは、事前に組み込まれた値段での請求でした。ハワイのサービスチャージを考えると、ものすごく安いと思います。 円安でしたが、比較的安く食べられたので、家族は大満足でした。

    20年以上前から来てますが昔の華やかなイメージとはかなり離れてしまってる感はありました。時々あの時の華やかさを求めてまた期待して来たいですね。大勢と来るには良い所です。

    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.
