Ordered the obvious oxtail soup and fried rice. It came right after I ordered! !The stability is amazing, but I regret that it's expensive due to the weak yen. . .

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.

Oxtail soup w/riceFried rice w/2 eggsIt was my first time eating soup, but the meat was tender and refreshing, making it easy to eat.Is fried rice soy sauce based? It was delicious.The inside of the restaurant seemed to be aimed at locals, and although it was lunchtime on a weekday, it was empty.

A stable oxtail soup that you'll want to eat again.Eat the meat with ginger soy sauce, or add ginger to the soup at the end to change the taste.This is a restaurant you'll want to eat when you come to Hawaii.The garlic shrimp was also delicious!

Ordered fried rice and oxtail soup. Three people shared the meal. Oxtail soup has the flavor of coriander and a light taste, and adding ginger makes it even more delicious. The fried rice had an indescribable flavor and before I knew it, I had eaten it all. This is a highly recommended store right next to Patagonia.

Order the famous tail soup, loco moco!There was plenty of tail and it went well with the rice.Unlike the Japanese taste, loco moco does not have a slightly demi taste.It's definitely delicious, but should you eat it in Hawaii?Please note that we do not serve alcohol ⚠️Patagonia and the famous wall are nearby, soI think it would be a good idea to stop by.It is located in an area that is a little unsafe, so please be careful when walking at night.

Got the regular adobo fried rice and it was just like a mini in a regular size container. About little more than half of the container. Must be a new cook never ever was it like that. Showed it to the person who took the order but he insisted almost very rudely that it was the regular. That I know was not. That's about all I eat from there and it never is ever like that. If they're cutting back on food and it's gonna be like that then that's the last time for me.

I had a small bowl of oxtail soup. Good for lunch. I like the simple hoop. It's like the gomtang soup I had in Seoul. The store behind Ala Moana Center was closed, so I chose this one.

As of 2022, there are two stores, the main store along Ward Avenue. It's next to Patagonia. There is free parking, but please note that it is often empty during lunch hours.Oxtail soup is popular here, but this time I ordered the loco moco.While many stores have raised their prices significantly after the coronavirus, this one probably hasn't raised their prices that much, and the regular size loco moco is just over $13.Two eggs, two scoops of rice, and a local classic macaroni salad. It is delicious when eaten with soy sauce.The hamburger is soft and juicy, and is good for stirring and eating in the local Hawaiian style.

Went in to have dinner with my friends and my 9 year old daughter on Saturday the 27th of January. Ordered an Oyako Donburi. Took a few bites, and felt something sharp lodged in my throat. Picked it up, and low and behold, it was a piece of metal. It looked like I could have been a remnant of a metal dish scrubber. I brought it to their attention and it didn’t even seem like it was a big deal. All they asked is if I want another one made. Everyone else was already eating, and I was Hangry, so of course I asked for a replacement. “As long as there’s no metal in it”, I replied . She didn’t even bother to acknowledge my comment, then acted like nothing. Brought my food out and we ate. As they presented the bill, I was shocked to see that they still charged me for it.They used to be very good, bust after THAT, no thanks. Their customer service sucks, and so does their quality control over their food being served. How do you not see a shiny piece of metal in a bowl you’re serving the food in. The worst part, is they weren’t even that busy, so it couldn’t have been them rushing to keep up with the work load. Disgusted and disappointed!

This hole-in-the-wall experience leaves something to be desired. This restaurant is a couple blocks south of the Blaisdell Arena. The service is what bothered me the most. One could argue that it's just that my expectations were high, but for you would-be guests, I'll let you decide.I entered through the side/take-out door since that's where the parking lot is (there are double glass doors on the Ward Street side). Upon walking in, I noticed some chairs against a short wall. On this short wall was a sign that instructs patrons to wait to be seated.The restaurant wasn't busy at all (maybe three or four of about 15 tables occupied). I sat and waited while the hostesses walked past me several times without even so much as acknowledging my presence. After sitting for a few minutes, a man walks in; walks passed me while I'm "waiting to be seated"; and then approaches a hostess, who then seats this man. Of course, I was baffled and pointed to the 'wait to be seated' sign.Immediately after situating the man that walked minutes after I did, the hostess finally takes me to a table. The hostess that guided me to my table sets down a glass of water and the menu. Ironically, now that I have been seated, suddenly there is nothing else for the hostess to do, as she just stood by the table side waiting for me to decide what to eat - I felt rushed.The menu does not mention what side dishes come with the entree and the hostess did not ask what I would like with my entree (rice, salad, etc.), heck, she didn't even ask me if I wanted anything to drink. I ordered the chicken katsu and immediately after writing down my order, the hostess told me to stick the menu between the condiments and the wall, then walked away. The menu mentions gravy, but I didn't get any, so if the gravy is part of the meal price, I was overcharged. My entree came with rice and mac salad, and the salad was warm, as if was sitting out. As soon as I tasted the salad, I spit it out. If substitutions are available, I wasn't told of any, so if you have any food allergies, consider asking the staff about their dishes.If you plan to eat here, I recommend you lower your expectations, as the staff is very impersonable. I honestly feel the staff at the nearby Jack-in-the-Box had better manners.
