    This was by far the best meal we ate this trip. Jay was an excellent server and the black pepper rice with beef was delicious. The sushi rolls were also very tasty! And the Hi drinks were so refreshing. 10/10 would recommend!

    Great place with great food. Quiet and small, feels more local and less commercialized, price is great as well as food quality. Service was friendly and they did a great job recommending dishes.

    All the appetizers that we ordered were good & I was hopeful for the rest of dinner. This was my party’s first time at this location, so it took us a bit to decide on our entrees. However, it took an hour for me to get my steak after I ordered. My friend’s butabara was luke warm at best & when he got it back after they “fixed” it, it was still just as cold. The garlic pepper fried rice was also bland. The server mentioned taking the steak & butabara off the menu, but my husband noticed that we were still charged for the steak after paying. For how expensive this restaurant is, I expected the food to be better.

    Shokudo was amazing. We tried a number of dishes and everything was delicious. We will definitely return. The sashimi and sushi were especially fresh and great.

    The tuna roll was great! But everything else was so so. We tried the miso butterfish, chicken wings, sashimi peppers and eggplant, Small and can be loud depending on the other tables around you.

    お料理はまあまあでした。ハッピーアワードリンクメニューに、ビールとワインが無いのが残念。 それと、メニューに載っていた日本酒のボトルを頼んだら、呑みたかった日本酒2つ共ボトル無く、グラスでしか頼めなかった。メニューに掲載しているなら、ちゃんと在庫確保しておいてものです。全般的には良いお店だと思います。

    Excellent Japanese food with a wonderful staff. Dishes are interestingly different from some of the more typical Waikiki Japanese options, yet draw upon classic flavors and ingredients. Some of their menu was not available because their fryer wasn't working, but there were still many superb dishes to select from. We left full and the cost, even with alcohol, was very modest. Highly recommend.
