Minatoku Kitchen — Restaurant in Honolulu

Gave this place a try and glad we did. Service was super friendly and accommodating. We had wanted a spam musubi for our daughter to take on her flight and they were out but our server asked the chef if he could make one and he said yes! Very nice of them. Food was also excellent. We had the katsu-don, nanban chicken, karaage chicken and agedashi tofu. All came hot and well seasoned. The katsu-don was simple with just katsu, onions and egg but the sauce was balanced well. Nanban chicken was also delicious and the agedashi tofu was tasty. Prices were also very reasonable. The space is small though but you can make a res. Parking is limited to just a few stalls in front of the restaurant on the pavement but there's lots of street parking. We'd definitely go...

My husband and I have been waiting to try this new place for awhile! So happy it finally opened.

The food was great and it is now a solid new lunch spot for us. I ordered the teriyaki chicken plate. The sauce was on the sweeter side (which I definitely prefer) and cooked well. It came with yummy white rice and veggies on the side.

My husband tried the hamburger steak plate and loved the savory sauce!

Atmosphere is very family friendly—the owner and his wife are so kind and welcoming. The place definitely excelled at blending both Japanese home cooking and local flavors. Would visit again!

Note: recommend parking across the street at Longs because there is very limited parking outside...

Order lunch via door dash. I cannot rate service or atmosphere right now.

My coworkers got nanban chicken plate, while I got ton katsu plate. For the amount of food to cost. It's worth it here. My layered ton katsu was tendered, savory, and fried into 5 pieces easy to eat. The nanban chicken looked good, I'll try it next time, my coworkers said it's delicious and they would not have finished it if it wasn't...lol

It's my first time here, but my parents have eaten here several times and recommend this place to me. I finally listen and ordered from here. I'll...
