Tsukenjo

This place is a hidden gem in downtown! My favorite local spot for breakfast, with a rotating daily menu--like the Kalua pork on Fridays. It's run by two really nice ladies who work incredibly hard to keep things running. The food is delicious, and the prices are unbeatable--$9 for the pancake special and $7.50 for omelets. It's a true hole-in-the-wall that's easy to miss, but I'm so glad I found it. Highly recommend!

We came here for breakfast, however, it is super difficult to find parking, by the time we arrive here it is already past 10:30am, no more breakfast. We ordered one of the specials - Lau Lau, to share. It is one of the best we tried in Hawaii. Highly recommend if you don't mind the parking situation. Also, there is no restroom in this restaurant and it is difficult to find restroom in the area, just so you know.

It has been a while since I was last here as I had been on a diet of sorts. They still remembered me, which was nice.Yesterday, I had a disappointing experience ordering loco moco from another business. Then I recalled how much I enjoyed the loco moco here at Tsukenjo.I've never had loco moco two days in a row before but wanted to confirm that Tsukenjo's was as good as I remembered.One change since I was last here is that mac salad is now included with the order.I took my meal to the office so that I could enjoy a leisurely breakfast there.Appearance: The single patty looked different, and I thought I remembered them being a bit larger, but previously there was no mac salad. It could also be that I was younger then, when everything looked bigger. :)Taste: I mentioned I had been on a diet. The loco moco was a bit saltier than I remembered, but that could just be me; my recent food choices could have affected my taste sensitivity.At the $10.50 cash price, it is a good value.I do believe they began adding on a 3% credit card fee when they upgraded their terminal.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/12c98KCmtzrjH94z/

I hadn't been here In a few years but they did not disappoint. Portion size was a bit smaller but it's still a lot for food! That pork and gravy was just as tasty as ever. One of the best hole in the walls I've ever found ~

The best fatty beef stew eva. So delish and fresh. I forgot to order the poi. This place has a very large variety of local foods. Best find across from AC Honolulu Marriott on Bishop.

Had a rare morning off getting my car serviced downtown. After doing a little shopping in Chinatown, I made my way to Tsukenjo's for brunch. They are located near the Union Mall walkway on Bishop Street between Beretania and Hotel Streets. It's mostly take out, with about 5 2-person tables available. Craved breakfast, so I got the Local Special (2 eggs, rice, 2 pieces each of Spam, Vienna Sausage, & Portuguese Sausage) with the fried rice upgrade (+$1). My usual, the Early Bird Special (1 each of everything in the Local Special), is only available until 8 am. My food came out soon enough, nice and piping hot! The fried rice had a decent amount of meat in it. Meat, eggs, and rice, the perfect local breakfast for me! Tsukenjo's is another restaurant with rotating daily specials, can't wait to try their baked chicken! Repeat and recommend!

Just a simple diner with great prices. Definitely no ambience but the food was delicious and the service fast. The portions were also great.

Ho doesn't like an affordable plate lunch in downtown? This was my first time here and definitely not my last.For downtown the prices are on the more affordable side. They give heaping portions so it's well worth the price. They have daily specials. On Thursday's the specials include pastele stew so I tried that and shoyu chicken. The pastele stew was delicious. Very flavorful and had lots of meat. The shoyu chicken was soft and falling off the bone. The sauce wasn't too salty. I will definitely be back to try other specials.

A good local plate lunch place. Food doesn't blow your socks off but always left satisfied and with leftovers. Gotta go early-ish for lunch b/c stuff runs out pretty quick. Best part about them...they are efficient. So many places make you wait. Not them...long line and I ordered 4 plates and I still was there less than 10 minutes. In downtown where time is money, that's important...

So the business owner sent me a nasty message about my honest review. Let me be clear, if you're in a hurry and want a reasonably priced meal that's filling it's a good place to go. Just don't expect food as good as freshly prepared thats all
