HIGOTO Japanese Eatery

Came by around 12;30/1 to grab some late lunch and swung by this small place. From the street it's hard to see, but it's in the back next to the Times supermarket, where there is also a parking structure. When we got there the line was maybe like 10 people which moved pretty quick. Only 3 people are allowed inside at a time because of how small it is, but it moves pretty quick and the prices were pretty reasonable for the quality of what you're getting. They have a variety of musubi, plates, poke bowls, and other snacks if you'd like. It's more of a grab and go place but I loved it because the food was so tasty and cute. Can't wait to come back and give this place a try again since there were so many other things I didn't get to try this time.

Tip: Pre-order to save time, avoid the line & ensure your favorites.Fresh food.Friendly service.Miso butterfish is my favorite.Tofu salad is light & nice to share.Salmon musubi isn't salty.

Cute little store that sells bentos, musubis, and sushi cups!Dropped by to pick up lunch during work and there was a smidge of a line but it moves quickly even though they only let 3 people in the store at once. I picked up an ume shiso musubi, mentaiko and egg musubi, and a salmon ikura sushi cup. I love how they have both white rice and purple rice for musubis! The ume shiso one is packed with ume which I loved and the mentaiko egg musubi was solid as well. The salmon ikura sushi cup was definitely on the hefty side and put me into a food coma but it was completely worth it as the quality is super good. I didn't pick up any bentos this time but they looked really good so I'll definitely try that next time! Next time i'll probably call to order in advance so I can skip the wait.

Is there such a description as "clean quality Japanese food"? Higoto offers musubis, salads, poke bowls, bentos, desserts and more. Everything offered here is fresh and made with quality ingredients. No oily taste. No over seasoned food here. Everything is just right. Hence, the "clean quality" description. I've tried almost everything they offer here. I have been satisfied with each option I have chosen. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food that you are provided here. There is always a line at opening. Go early for the most variety and selection. Located in The Kaimuki Shopping Center. Downstairs below the Cookie Corner and close to Times Supermarket. Free parking. Only three persons are allowed in this small space at a time. You can order ahead of time as well. This is a regular stop for me. I don't know how I haven't written a review for Higoto. No tables inside here. It's take out only. There is a small table for one outside. Overall 5/5 stars. Website: higotojapaneseeatery.com

I almost didn't wanna post a review because I'd like to gatekeeper this place... haha! I have been many times and I love them. There is often a long time in the morning because items sell out fast. The butterfish with the multigrain is my absolute favorite. It is arrange as a grab and go and parking is easy.

Love this place! The bentos are so good and fresh. It's perfect for picking up lunch on the go. Their desserts are good too! Must try

3 words: Fish. Lovers. Bento. That's it. That's all you need to know lol.Nestled in the kaimuki shopping plaza (Center) is a kawaii bento place called HiGoto. This location has seen its share of eateries, but this little bento shop has stood the test of time--and I know why! Their bentos are so filling and delicious! Love the variety from Saba, to my favorite the fish lovers (if you already couldn't tell). I'm not a big fan of their yakitori chicken, but it was moist and plentiful. In addition to the hot bentos, they have onigiri, and raw fish bowls and desserts in the little cold fridge area as well. Please heed the sign, as there is a limit of 3 in the store at a time due to space. The nice workers won't scold you, but I will. Hahaha!

In the area and decided to see if Higoto had any bentos left. Got there around 3pm and they close @ 4:00pm and normally all there good bentos are sold out early .I had 1 bento left and it consist of Miso salmon, mahi mahi katsu , Chikuwa tempura and other sides . I stopped by my friends house and I gave it to him .Support local

Cozy grab and go spot for high quality, nourishing, and well balanced food. Popped by within the first hour of opening to get bentos and musubis for my family. The shop is small and only lets a couple in at a time, but the service is efficient and excellent!

Higoto is one of my favorites when I'm going out to the park for lunch. They have a lot of good options between bentos, musubis and cup sushi. My go to is the salmon and ikura cup sushi. Fish is always fresh. This place does sometime have a line so be prepared to wait a little. The shop is really small.
