Stumbled on this restaurant in Waikiki and it had 4.5 stars on Yelp. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor and you take an elevator from the street. The restaurants is gorgeous, food is delicious, service was so friendly. The best thing is we had the head chef named Axion (I think). If there is a downside, it cost a little more than my budget would allow for but it was totally worth it. I came with one other person but I think it would be fun to come with 7 friends and have an entire table to yourself. The other people at my table were from Japan and two from Korea and no one spoke English but we somehow managed to smile, laugh, and communicate.
First time. Having dined in many Japanese Hibachi Steahhouses found Tanaka of Tokyo here at the Ala Moana very upscale. Drinks were extremely good, maybe too good. For dinner the Steak & Shrimp and Scallops..... all very good. Show w/ the dinner was good. Overall enjoyed the experience.
Found out about this place from a street advertisement and thought we'd give it a try. We definitely made the right choice! For $35 I chose the chicken teriyaki which comes with pickled vegetables, salad, teppanyaki vegetables, rice, miso soup, green tea and dessert. The meal was very filling and the chicken was absolutely exquisite. Our chef was very funny and entertaining, he put on a great show and was very friendly. The waiter was very attentive with our drink orders and made sure they were always topped up. The restaurant is quite dim inside but the place is very alive with an upbeat atmosphere. Highly recommended!
