8 Best Japanese Restaurants in Kapolei

“It's been a while since we ate here again.And I'm just so amazed with all their staff how do they work,they have a great team work that provides an amazing customer service.Their food is so delicious and have a big portion how they prepare and the presentation of the food makes me enjoy it more.“

“This is a cute place to visit with delicious food! I love banh mi, and this was hands down the best I've had in a long time. I enjoyed everything. I came with my dad, my 3 little girls and my husband. They were very welcoming of our family, and had high chairs for the girls. We got them the wonton noodle soup and extra bowls were provided for them.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available. Small plates and utensils with little kids cups for water.“

“The hostess was very accommodating and patient while we waited for our entire party to arrive. The cook was not as entertaining and interactive with us as those we've had in the past. We requested our ribeye to be medium rare. What we got was closer to a very medium, so more hard and dry. Comparing this ribeye to a recent lunch we had a week or two ago that was cooked to perfection and a melt in your mouth quality. The meat that we received tonight seemed to be of a lesser quality and overcooked. The lobster tails were very fishy tasting, small and didn't look appetizing. The noodles should be eliminated from the set items. 2 of 5 in our party had a sore stomach after arriving at home. The waitress was attentive making sure our needs were met with refills, etc. It will be a long while before our next visit. Tonight was disappointing.Parking: Lots of parking close to restaurant.“

“This place was wonderful!!! Such good food!! Would absolutely recommend! I’m a plant-based eater and they had great options for me, you just gotta ask the server directly. Definitely stop in if you can!Vegetarian options: Just ask, and they have vegan and vegetarian options!“

“Great place! Just go there. Don't think about it. Just go. Enjoy some hot pot in a very down to earth chill place. No rush. Take your time and enjoy AYCE! I've been there 3 to 4 times. I will visit them again before I leave the island.“

“There's this person in our office who loves eating here. She goes to pick up and brings back to eat at her desk. So one day, she extended this offer to our office section. Not knowing what to order, we all just took a chance.What did we think?Well, the really funny thing is whatever we ordered that first time has been the same exact thing we have ordered ever since.Isn't that just so amazing? Hahaha :DOne of us likes to order the calamari with three multigrain musubis and the rest of us usually order the butterfish with multigrain rice. The butterfish is so delectable!! Sometimes my work friend orders the chicken bento.What makes these bentos fun to eat for me is not just the flavor and taste but bc of the added yummy tsukemono and food items. For instance, we get a piece of fried chicken, tamago egg (tamagoyaki aka Japanese egg omelette), variety of tsukemono that come with our butterfish bento. And most importantly, all taste really great!If you want a substantial meal with a variety of tastes and you happen to be in the older Kapolei area (by the Kapolei Zippy's and Consolidated Theaters down the long street from Costco Kapolei), this is a great place for a satisfying meal. Now, if you're a guy who tends to eat more, you might need to order a little more for yourself, but for us women, the one bento might be sufficient.“

“This wasvour first time visiting Doraku and we will return. The atmosphere and service people we excellent. The sushi roll ultimate roll was very good. The ebi sushi with just a touch of Wasabi inside.... just like served in Japan! Prices are reasonable. They have a bar. Really enjoyed the sushi chef's! Like I said...we will be back!“

“Gry-Kaku is a good Japanese BBQ. It probably isn't the best on island, but It offers a great option outside Waikiki, and a particularly good option for the west side of Oahu.In addition to ala cart ordering, Gry-Kaku offers 3 different levels of all-you-can-eat items (the 2nd and 3rd tier options overlap, so you can ultimately choose from something like 85 items. I recommend the Tier 1 AYCE if you're unsure or are interested in sampling the menu, or getting to know more about the cuisine.The restaurant dining room could probably use a dusting, a paint job, and some minor drywall touch ups, but all in all, it's a good meal.Kid-friendliness: We brought our 2 kids (4 & 6), and after a quick explanation of the danger of the open grill, they were fine. They liked watching the BBQ, and loved roasting their own s'more over the fire!“
