Friends and I stopped here for lunch. Wasn't sure what to expect since we had never eaten here. We all tried different dishes and unfortunately none of us really cared for the food. The servings were generous but the flavors were just average.

Its rare that after I eat my ramen that I will drink all the soup - but not with Ichiben's Paitan ramen; I drink it all!. Its my go-to comfort food. Noodles are cooked just right. Soup is delicious. I also enjoy their multiple options of combo sets such as kalbi, mochiko chicken, or fried rice, which comes with ramen and green salad - less than $12 for a combo set. Service is friendly and efficient. Restaurant is clean; comfortable seating. They also offer takeout. Parking is abundant but often crowded.

We made two recent trips to Shiroâs Saimin Heaven in Aiea. The restaurant is in a strip mall in Aiea, with plenty of parking. We went for dinner and ordered saimin. It was excellent. There are over 60 varieties of saimin. They also have some main dishes and sandwiches. We also ordered French fries with gravy and a teriyaki burger. Both very good. We decided to go back for breakfast. I ordered the chicken katsu loco moco. The katsu chicken was over fried, nearly burnt. The fried rice was chock full of shredded char siu pork, a flavor I did not like. Service was friendly both times but I wouldnât go for breakfast.

We were nearby and found this little restaurant in a strip mall type of location. The service was courteous and quick. The food was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the Sweet and Spicy Chicken and the Pork and Tofu stir-fry. The small appetizer tray they brought us was a real treat, goodies we don't usually chose so it was fun to try something new that was so fresh and woke up our taste buds. While eating we were already thinking of who we could make this recommendation to.

Just a small, local corner restaurant that we definitely go back to! Local island friends suggested this place to us; and we were in the area, it was convenient, so we stopped. Itâs a small, simple, local restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch menus throughout the day; with 50s decor. Service was fantastic; and the food-in our opinion, was just as good as the service. They offered traditional as well as local islander food on their menu.

A must eating stop for great family dining with a menu designed for all age groups. This location has a sushi bar which according to a friends report has extra large cuts of fresh fish for the nigiri, only negative is that the prices are more expensive compared to similar places. This location has assorted Japanese bento combinations such as shrimp tempura with sushimi. The loco moco was simply delicious with a generous topping of brown gravy! My friend had a kalbi sandwich which he said was very good, too, but a bit messy to eat. The salad with chicken was also a great choice.

In the many years of living in Oahu we had never been to any one of this chain of restaurants, we were looking for a different place to dine in the Pearl City area so we thought we would give it a go. As you enter, you can clearly see this is not a fine dining restaurant but we decided to try it anyway since the menu seemed extensive, we would find something that was okay, wouldnât we?. Another thing to note especially in hawaii, if there are no Japanese people dining in a Japanese restaurant, then itâs probably not that good. Warning unheeded we proceeded. We asked to be sat in a quiet part of the restaurant and the server did their absolute best to accommodate, all the servers and the manager was very attentive, polite, friendly. The quickest service award for the bringing of beer $8.50 to the table. Small Hot Sake $7 followed. The rainbow roll was made with immigration crab $15.50 overpriced. The shrimp tempura $21.95 4 cold and somewhat tasteless shrimp, 2 slices of eggplant and a green bean all in a limp tempura batter. The accompanying miso soup was okay and the salad was fresh lettuce and 2 slices of cucumber and grated carrot again okay. The chicken Katsu / steak combination both were fatty and almost cold in temperature. In short, The restaurant was very old, tatty and really a bit dirty, the food disappointing But the service was excellent.

I was impressed. A family owned and run business. We were picking up catering for a business meeting. There was a line of folks out the door just getting their lunch. There were a dozen workers just on the counter. It was busy. Friendly and well run. Very impressed. Looks like a hole in the wall but i would call it a hidden gem!Love it. @nickellfamilytravel

I have been dreaming to eat at this place ever since I saw it on "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" and it did not disappoint. I had the boneless Kalbi ribs as an appetizer and the famous Ox Tail Soup as an entree. YES, Kalbi ribs can be an appetizer!! The garlic fries were also amazing. I had no room for dessert. Will be dreaming of this place until I return!!
