Hawaii food guide--Japanese cuisine restruant

🤍Sushi Izakaya Gaku Recognized by Japanese friends as an izakaya with above-average standards even in Japan. The miso-grilled cod is creamy and tender, and the fish is very fresh. Particularly enjoy the yellowtail wrapped with sea urchin, but the wagyu beef dish was a letdown—expensive and not tasty. The fried chicken is average; it's recommended to just order sushi. 💰 per person $75 🤍Katsumidori I've recommended this place before as the king of cost-effectiveness. It's like buying food by weight in a supermarket, where you can order sushi by the piece, and there's a wide variety of fish. Each sushi piece is around three dollars. I really like their shrimp sushi and tempura, which are made with great care. However, the salmon quality is average compared to other stores. You get what you pay for; if you want better quality, avoid the salmon set and order some more expensive pieces like those from Hokkaido, which taste better. 💰: $30-50 (depending on whether you order expensive or cheap items) 🤍Aloha Kitchen Mentioned last because it's a different category, it's a Japanese breakfast place I really like. The soufflé pancakes are incredibly delicious, arguably the best in the U.S. They're a fluffy sponge cake with fruit, melting into your heart with every bite. 💰: per person$10 #Hawaii#Aloha Kitchen #Katsumidori sushi tokyo #Sushi Izakaya Gaku
