I ordered beef sukiyaki, sashimi and oyakijue. Beef sukiyaki 8/10, if you like sweetish sukiyaki sauce this is the place to go! Stuff cook in front of you! Oyakijun is very delicious and my son loved it. Worth mentioning this place is super kids friendly :) the stuff was so friendly and even gave my son a toy car as gift!! Will def come back again

Whoa . I'm a Japanese food connoisseur. LA native who's tried many spots, grew up in a historically Japanese part of LA and know my food.This spot is as good or maybe slightly better than the best Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles(fyi Sushi Gen). The service, the food, the family welcoming vibe, the dedication to traditional home style humble Japanese cuisine.Not fancy and insanely reasonable. During a weeklong visit to Honolulu I've been here 3 times and tried their Butterfish and Omakase Sushi dinners. Housemade tofu ugh. Yes go here if you want a humble beautiful Japanese food experience. This is not a touristy spot thank goodness.

Excellent Japanese restaurant in lobby of Park Shore hotel in Waikiki. We were recommended this restaurant and decided to check it out and were pleasantly surprised. It feels very authentically Japanese.There is an extensive menu with many full course meal options. I chose to get the two tier chirashi with uni ($66). The chirashi came with tofu, miso soup and dessert as well. The fish was very fresh and the uni was delicious. I felt very full by the end of the meal. Would love to come back to try more things!

Our favorite meal of the trip! This restaurant is hidden in the lobby of a hotel, so you will have to park on the streets. Upon entering, you're greeted by friendly waiters who take you to your seat in an intimate restaurant. We opted to get the coursed meals, so we got the miso butterfish (36), salmon (33), and sashimi combo (50). Each course has little bites that come before the entree. First come the cold apps, and I couldn't even tell you what they were but each had a burst of flavor. Then we got the japanese steamed egg, which was what I came here for. And lastly, our entrees came with miso soup and white rice. We were even surprised they gave complimentary matcha ice cream at the end!The salmon was simple, seasoned with salt. The sashimi typically comes with 12 pieces with a variety of cuts. However, we only wanted salmon and tuna, so the wait accommodated for the request (free of charge), and let us know it would come with only 10 pieces though. It was more than enough and the fish was very fresh. And lastly, the miso butterfish (aka black cod) was our tables favorite! So flavorful, juicy, and fatty. What a great last dinner to mark the end of this trip, we will be back!

Tucked away in the Waikiki Park Shore Hotel, Yoshitsuni is a hidden gem that delivers an authentic taste of Japan right in the heart of Waikiki. From the moment you step inside, you're warmly greeted in Japanese by the friendly, attentive staff, who effortlessly blend traditional hospitality with excellent English communication. Ample parking at the nearby Honolulu Zoo makes getting there easy, but it's the food that makes Yoshitsuni unforgettable. Their renowned Japanese breakfast is a must-try, especially the homemade tofu, which exceeded all expectations. Silky smooth with a delicate, refined flavor, the tofu is a revelation--simple yet masterfully crafted, highlighting the artistry of traditional Japanese cuisine. Yoshitsuni delivers a truly memorable dining experience, offering both comfort and elegance in every bite.

Situated in the Park Shore hotel is Yoshitsune. Valet parking. Enter the hotel and the dining room we were in was almost through the kitchen Service was good, food delicious. I had the Masutake set. Masutake broth was so sweet and flavorful, I even ate every piece in the little pot. Tofu was so silky and noodle like. Tempura was good, not as crispy as I would have liked but still good. Generous portion of Masutake rice, I had to bring leftovers home. Room was crowded but still comfortable to have a conversation. I would return .

Lunch in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii...I've heard about this authentic, old-school restaurant for a while and finally made plans with Irene to check it out.Located on the ground level of the Park Shore Waikiki Hotel, we both parked at a nearby elementary school that hosts a weekly Farmer's Market. (I did buy something at the Farmer's Market, so I really was a customer!)We were seated promptly and greeted in a customary fashion. The service was polite as usual for almost every Japanese restaurant. The place was cozy and quiet... like we were in Japan... because of the subtle decor... it was quite pleasant!I got the Tiered Chirashi. It had two layers of fresh seafood! The starters (fancy tofu and tsukemono dishes)and matcha ice cream filled me to the top! Now that's a Complete Meal!!!I was so happy! That was a really memorable experience!
