As a Japanese born and raised in Tokyo, lived in Hawai'i with a Kumu Hula, attended KCC and HPU, I can say that this is the best place to eat standard Hawaiian style Japanese food and have the best karaoke night. I ordered 5 adult portions of food with beverages and it was $101. My server was a quapa, Hawaiian / Japanese / Mexican / Irish an elegant gentleman with great social skills. The first dish came out in a zip. They paced the cooking so that the food came out with 10 minutes breaks. Rice was cooked to perfection. I recommend the Vegetable Tempura, it stayed crispy till the last piece. Karaage was so well marinated and juicy. It will compliment your beverage well. Taisho Fries is a blast!!! It has katsuoboshi (bonito flakes), fried onion, shichimi (7 spices), green onion, mayonnaise, and ketchup. (I didn't use the ketchup). I tried their Chicken katsu curry. The carrots melted in my mouth. The katsu was a bit thin and chewy because it was overcooked. The curry itself was runny and thin than retail curry rue. If you love katsu curry, this might disappoint you. The best dish I think distinct here is the Kaula Pig Dinner Plate. Today is 7.30.2026 I got there at 10:20pm and didn'

Service really made the difference in here. Makao and Steven were very attentive with our food keeping us updated and went up and down with what we needed. We had a really good time because of them. Great place to catch up with your friends and have some beers. They also had karaoke and if you are into anime, this would be the place. Food was also really good, even if the kitchen was about to close, it tasted right! Would definitely come back :)

Pretty reasonable prices, especially during happy hour. The ordering QR code quickly got us food and beer, though the ordering site didn't show the happy hour prices. Facility was pretty non-sketchy. Karaoke setup left something to be desired. Song collection was middling quality. There were a lot of things we wanted to sing that weren't in their catalog but we would've expected. The song browsing interface sucked and you can't view it on your phone. Get with the times and get a modern phone-browsable karaoke! It wasn't the worst karaoke place (that honor goes to Pandora), but it's inferior to many I've seen. Overall a fun time at a pretty reasonable price!

Tasty authentic Japanese ramen. Spacious and friendly staff. The menu is not crazy extensive which means they are great at perfecting their recipes. A must try if craving Coco's in Japan. Oh yeah, there is also karaoke and you can sing while you wait for your meal!

Spam fries and the Locomoco were great! It's a bit loud but the closer you sit to the window the less loud it is. Service was super friendly and fast. Def coming back again soon!

Chicken with curry rice was warm and deliciously filling. Curry was thinner than I ideally prefer & not as much curry compared to other ingredients? But it was still good and I would get it again. $23 each (with 20% tip, $17 menu price) They also have a lot of drinks but are one of those pub-like bars that are trying on the food. (thumbs up to that). There was also throw-up right at the front door...
