My ohana loves gyotaku. My go-to is the miso butterfish and my husband loves the katsu curry. I've tried the chicken teriyaki, miso salmon, all of them are great! We've tried a few sushi before too,and the dragon roll is our fave! Their shaved ice is good too! Always a happy tummy after dining here!
Excellent service! They were able to accommodate our party of about 20 people. The food was fresh and delicious and we ordered some apps which were easily shareable. There is a 90min time limit so plan accordingly!
Excellent dinner experience. The ribeye was perfectly grilled with a great sear—juicy, flavorful, and simply done right. The sushi was fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully prepared with clean textures and solid portions. Service was attentive and the atmosphere relaxed and comfortable. Consistently good quality all around. Highly recommend.
