A great hole in the wall Japanese restaurant specializing in udon dishes. Service is quick and friendly. Food options range between Japanese curry to tempura to their well known udon dishes. There's a parking lot along King Street and a parking lot in the back, accessible from Young Street. It can get busy during lunch and dinner time, but there is a sign in sheet on the door and benches in front to wait on. Service is fairly fast so the wait time usually isn't too long.
Hole in the wall kind of place, but it has one of the best food we have eaten in Honolulu! Small space, so you might have to wait for a table depending of the time, but food comes out pretty quickly, so it is a tolerable wait. Meal specials very from $13-$17 and it comes with a lot of food. The meal we got was very savory and authentic and we went home happy with the experience. We will be returning to try other dishes in the future!
Ordered the Pork Katsu Don combo with hot udon. Very filling and so tasty. The customer service was amazing and they always filled up my water and hot tea. We were in the back corner but still got so much attention.
The wait wasn't so bad on a Monday night, but they were already out of the pork gyoza by 7:30pm. Not sure how soon they will be finding a new place, so I'll have to eat as much as I can before they close.
The place is small, so I wouldn't recommend large groups coming here. Parking is kind of tight as well. Still worth it to make the trip. Can't wait to eat my leftovers.
