    Sushi omakase was not good which is a first for me and especially in Hawaii. Waitress was not unfriendly and curt. Not much more to say.

    Izakaya Nonbei is our go-to Japanese restaurant in Honolulu. The large menu ensures that we create the variety of dishes that we want. We go very regularly and will do so for the foreseeable future. We ordered over a dozen dishes for our group of 7 and left very happy.

    Took 13 people last minute. Very nice upstairs area. Great food. Service was a little overwhelmed but still amazing given how short staffed they were. Highly recommend. Very good food, good times.

    Casual fun dining. It’s basically food for drinking but you can have a very nice family dinner here as well. White bright clean interior- doesn’t feel like a “bar” Menu is Ala carte so may choose from a wide assortment of different categories. They have restaurant recommendations but so far everything i have tried is very good. My favs include crab avocado bacon salad, assorted tempura, yakisoba, miso butterfish.
