Best KPortal Reviews
I have passed by this place 1 million times and finally took the opportunity to dine there with my brother and nephew. We came on a Sunday morning around 11am and there was enough parking. However by the time we left the restaurant was full and all tables taken.
This is a great local restaurant that caters to local palette.
I had the tan tan ramen and it was tasty. My companions also enjoyed their meal thoroughly. As i glanced around, it was evident that the fried rice is a fan favorite as well as the oxtail soup.
Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry.
Last time I came here many years ago it was just okay, but was happy to come back here for lunch recently on a weekday with some coworkers and the food was really good!
Prices are very reasonable compared to other places, and my dish was tasty. I got a chopped steak dish.
When you come here you need to try the oxtail soup and the Pork tonkatsu, both dishes were filled with sooo much flavor. A lot of meals on Hawaii can get really expensive but both of these dishes were at a reasonable price and a very good portion.
Overall the restaurant is very mom and pop style so don’t expect any fine dining service. It’s good for a quick bite or casual dinner. 10/10 would recommend!
We have ordered here in the past and it’s been great! HOWEVER, we ordered tonight and my husband’s patty was completely raw. It was an incredible disappointment as we won’t be returning until the quality is consistent.
Although the service is okay, the food here (especially the oxtail soup) is freaken amazing. It's suppose to be famous and I believe it! Their kalbi and donburi was decent too!
I place this in the small sit-in, family-friendly style restaurant tier, along side Oh My Grill or L&L Hawaiin Barbecue, but with more options. Within this tier, I think it does a great job competing, but I've had better experiences, so it only gets 4/5. An example of a 5 would be Mason's Dumplings in Boulder, Colorado. If Asahi served the food in nicer dishes, offered better drinks, and/or had a better interior, I'd give it a 5. Otherwise, the oyakodon (親子丼) I ordered was better than some versions I've has in Japan. The chicken was of great quality, some pieces with skin or cartilage, adding wonderful texture. The flavor was sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, and also savory. I could taste the mirin, but I think they also added sugar. I'm a bit sensitive to sweet flavors though, so others might find it more mild. The eggs were cooked through, but still soft and a bit fluffy with good flavor. The onions were almost caramelized, like most oyakodon would have them. Fairly traditional and authentic, and I'd eat it again.
An asian diner with a Hawaiian twist.
Their fried rice and loco Moco tasted great, as well as their oxtail soup, with available selection between a regular soup with more meat and oxtail ramen with two pieces of oxtail meats.
The pork chop was mediocre, considering it being pretty dry with a simple salt and pepper seasoning (ketchup available).
Overall a great diner at Waikiki.
We arrived about 7:30pm on a Sunday night, the place was busy, and the parking lot pretty full. No wait for us and we were pointed in the direction of an open table. Basic restaurant not much decor, a couple of singles on their phones watching videos without headsets and playing them loud.
I ordered the Kim Chee Ramen and my companion ordered Oxtail Ramen and Lup Cheong Fried rice. The food is flavorful and enjoyable.I would definitely be back, just for the food, not the ambiance.
