   Local style Japanese food that is fresh delicious and plentiful. You do get a lot of food for your money here in Waipahu! We ordered the Ohana meal for 2 that could have easily served 4. The tempura grilled tofu and sizzling steak dishes were tasty as was the sukiyaki hot pot and worth the drive from town. And it’s near a HART stop so you can watch the almost empty trains glide by…

   The food is always amazing and the portions are big. The Ohana Pack is our favorite.

   We had my birthday lunch there and I got my free meal which was great. The food was excellent, we got seated very quickly and the place was very clean.

   Don't like the 3.5% credit card fee they pass onto consumers. Prices are high as it is and they pass these fees onto us. Ordered the steak medium, it was way past well done. Shrimp tempura, no taste!

   Had to get my miso butterfish fix at Kuni’s. I normally put in a reservation even when we go early (before 6pm) bcuz you never know when everyone gets the urge to drop in. You can tell all the regulars! Open Table takes credit card with reservation, charge $1 which you get back later. They don’t take reservations over the phone. But it’s easy to do online through their website or Open Table. I guess I should use Open Table app since you can get rewarded for reservations. (Duh I just noticed today) I like eating in the main dining room side which is a little quieter than bar side. Everyone is so nice there… and as soon as you give your order, you start getting your hot miso soup, hot rice, salad, pickled vegetables, water, and beverages (chilled filtered sake in the little blue bottle). Soon after my butterfish arrives! Yum! Service is so fast!!! So we are never waiting long when we’re hungry. Last time my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I ordered sashimi with my butterfish… I couldn’t eat it all, so now I know just to order my miso butterfish (I think still $19) and I walk out FULL with a little rice left in my bowl. Hard to find a nice Japanese restaurant that won’t cost you an arm and leg, great food, awesome service, fast and easy to find. They said sizzling steak is 50% off on Wednesday and they are quite busy on that day. Maybe we will try it out one day. Our golf gang enjoyed it… so close to West Loch.

   Service and quality were on point. Food served right away. Good local food with portions and and taste on par. Relaxing atmosphere and tables are clean despite the splashes from the hot platter meals. We highly recommend eating here when you want the local kine grindz.
