Kikuya - Kaneohe

I enjoyed the Sukiyaki here. Came out what hot it should, so that was good. Beautiful good selection of Japanese comfort food. A little expensive, but at this point I am only glad that small businesses can stay open. There was a woman who was there all the time, but she was amazing and we never found ourselves waiting for food or refilling of water.

The butterfish is excellent, the chicken teriyaki is very good. They start you with water and hot tea, the meals are fully coursed, with miso, cabbage salad, with the dinner special sashimi. The meals come with rice, salad, a dipping sauce (shoyu maybe), tempura vegetables, the tempura shrimp is huge, juicy and wonderful. The staff is very friendly. The bathrooms need a little more attention but not bad. This is not a “fancy” place but the food is good and we had no wait on a Saturday afternoon. The prices were very fair ranging from $18-29.

I think what I liked most about this place was customer service. The staff was friendly and nice! The location is excellent with simple parking. The part of the food was amazing!! Presentation is also good! Of course, it's not like the real Japanese restaurants in Japan, but they were good enough! The price was in the normal range.

Wonderful experience. The butterfish is probably the best we had in the very long time and the Teriyaki beef was delicious.

Beautiful hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant in an industrial area of Kaneohe. Always have a good experience here with very helpful and friendly staff to delicious local Japanese food. During my last visit during lunch I hoped for more Teishoku options with Sashimi, but the lunch menu had only two options. The waitress brought the dinner special menu and said I could pick up from there. Gotta love when they go the extra mile so to make their customers happy.
