Reviews
Highlights from the omakase were the mackerel, chutoro, otoro, uni, and scallop nigiri. The miso soup was pretty flavorful and not too salty.
For dessert we ended with a yuzu sorbet which was really good super light and refreshing . Would definitely come here again
This time it’s just me in this table, Chef Kakazu tries his best to make sure I have a great time by communicating with google translate since I don’t speak Japanese. I’m sure the experience is gonna be even better if you speak Japanese. Regardless, the food is amazing. The chef is polite, kind, skillful and the atmosphere is great.
The lunch menu is delicious and affordable. The teppanyaki chef is immaculate with his craft and the quality of the food is incredible. We ordered the steak lunch and the hamburger over rice and the sea urchin hand roll as an appetizer.
The sake menu was extensive and had so many options for Ginjo, Junmai and Daiginjo.
What a great addition to the restaurant scene on Oahu! We can’t wait to come back and try the sushi side.
Arigato gozaimas to the team at i-naba Hanalei!
Teru was a great chef who made a delicious meal for us, and he was very welcoming and kind. We loved the creativity and variety of nigiri he gave, especially the fresh seasonal selection which had multiple items, including the most delicious and buttery scallops. Moreover, the dessert was simply perfect. Highly recommend!
One side teppanyaki, 1 side sushi. Sushi/Sashimi…get the omikase for $120/person. Definaitely add any of the sake flights.
Pull up your Google audio translate early on and you’ll have an amazing time!
Kakuya-san is very friendly and as good at English as most of us are with Japanese, so pass your phones back and forth to know what’s going on. It was fun!
This is true omikase, with fish (and snails) you’ve never heard of, let alone eaten before.
Fish originates from Hokkaido, where Kakuya-san is from.
Bring your kid (we brought our 4 year old who was on the verge of meltdown half the night), get them amazing soba for $10, slip them a bit of Sashimi here and there, and enjoy the best fish, mollusks and real wasabi you’ve ever tasted.
My wife was very full, and I hit just north of hara hachi bu (I had a couple Sapporos and sake flight $20-30 for 3 types)
Place should be packed every night. Don’t wait until it is.
Oh, and they have $2000+ bidet toilets and CVG fir trim and wainscotting.
