We came here because we have been to the location in Ginza, Tokyo, and wanted to be transported back. We were very satisfied with the generous cut of the pork katsu, and the impeccable service that you would expect at a Japanese restaurant. Though it was much pricier than dining at Ginza, it was still a great experience for those who love katsu, or have always wanted to try.
The only factor deducting the 1 star is the interior, it felt tight and almost like we were dining with the table next to us. Otherwise, this was a great way to spend a dinner during our trip.
eaten here on every single trip ive taken to oahu over the last 3 years and it never disappoints. juicy, high quality pork katsu, with perfectly crispy breading. i’d recommend shelling out for the special katsus if they still have availability—you can definitely tell the difference in juiciness and tenderness!
amazing and accommodating service as well. i’d recommend making a reservation beforehand, but even if not, definitely stop by for a delicious dinner in waikiki if you have a chance! one of the best restaurants in this area for sure.

We had a reservation here on a Thursday evening and were seated five minutes early. The service staff was great during our visit and were very friendly and attentive!
We wanted to try the specialty kurobuta set, but it was sold out so we ended up ordering the kurobuta pork loin katsu set in addition to the katsu sandwich.
Overall the food was pretty good. The tonkatsu was very thick and crispy, and the cabbage salad with the sesame dressing complimented the entire meal really well. I thought the katsu sandwich was good despite not being a fan of anything that taste like mustard. However, the balance of the flavors here was just right and not overpowering.
When it comes to value, the high price just didn’t match the hype and expectations that came with it, which was probably the only downside. I’d very much pass if there were a long wait time on a busy weekend knowing there are a variety of good local eats at a fraction of the cost.
However if you enjoy tonkatsu and are looking for a good experience, it’s definitely worth a try!
