We stopped in for lunch.We chose the restaurant side or you can get takeout from Okazuya side. We had Nitsuke Butterfish, Chicken Katsu, both came with Rice, Miso soup, Tsukemono, & green tea. Eggplant Tempura & Undagi, Shrimp Tempura, Sweet Potato Tempura. It was very good! The Butterfish was the star of the show! Soft, buttery, packed with flavorful. The service was excellent and welcoming. The atmosphere is old school with a beautiful garden in the back. Plenty of parking. We wanted to get the corn beef hash but forgot. We will be back for it. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back!

A truly old-school Japanese-American diner in continuous operation since 1935 — a rare-find historic gem given so many mom-and-pops have closed in Hawaii since COVID.
Booths filled with multi-generational clientele, all of whom have frequented this establishment since childhood. The menu bridges East Asia and America, with classics ranging from noodle soups and tonkatsu to hamburgers and milkshakes.
Karai Saimin, cold egg noodles sauced in slightly spicy-sweet and topped with char-siu bbq pork is a savory treat. Fried Chicken, by the piece, fulfills a crunchy fix. Delicately Pan-Fried Butterfish, served with miso soup and rice, makes for a satisfying meal — complete.
Deli counter for ready-made food to go, available at entry. Complimentary houjicha (green tea with toasted rice) served to in-house diners, in lieu of coffee, a plus. Very friendly waitress staff.

I’m a long time Sekiya customer and today’s lunch was very disappointing. Gobo must be a new recipe. It was watery and had a strong vinegar taste. It never had a vinegar taste before. The saimin noodles tasted like a previously frozen noodle and it was soft. Didn’t eat it all. Might just be an off day but to be this off was surprising.

I heard this restaurant is one of the oldest ones in Oahu. Passing by this place very often, but no chance to visit. So we planned to dine! A few things I need to point out specifically. First of all, the chopstick! I haven’t seen the chopsticks bag with the restaurant’s name, address, and phone number for a long, long time! And in Japanese!! I can tell this restaurant stays open for a long time because they are loved by its customers. And second point is their macaroni potato salad. This is the best macaroni salad in this island for sure. The balance among mayo, macaroni, potato, and its flavor is perfect. This took me to my nostalgic memory very well. Third one is the marinated fried chicken! It is very crispy outside, and very juicy inside. AND they serve the chicken with grated daikon and ponzu sauce. It is really “home style” flavor, you are not getting tired of them. Service is really friendly, waiting time is short, price is very reasonable, and they have a plenty of parking space. Whenever I crave Japanese meals, this is the place from now on!

First time visit without any expectations despite of the negative reviews here in the recent months.
They may need some updating to do in terms of interiors, but other than that the service was very good, reasonably priced menu.
We had Mahi Tenpura & Chicken katsu set and Nabeyaki udon. Udon broth was bland, needed to have more Dashi to my liking but everyone has different palate. (Lived many years in Japan, I am just used to the taste in Japan. )
I would try their Okazu section next. All looked good!

Cute place. 90 years old history and owners are the same for almost a century. My butter fish, tempura and udon noodles were delicious! Steve was fantastic! Will be back!!

Local staple in kaimuki. My father used to eat here as a child. This restaurant has been here for a long long time…and in this location more than 50 years.
I’ve been here multiple times throughout my life. It’s as local as it gets…
Friday for lunch…went to the delicatessen side. Got yakisoba, seaweed wrap, vegetable tempura, corn beef hash fried balls, and garlic chicken…for brought $16. Not bad of a price. Food was alright. Garlic chicken sauce was a bit salty, the vegetable tempura was overly fried.
If you dine in, their saimin and bbq sticks are local classics.
Service was friendly and helpful even though it was busy.
Atmosphere of the dining area looks…original. Lol.
Lastly…picture in photo is their latest take out menu for new year’s day, 2025. They will open briefly on 01/01/2025 for last minute party orders.

My gang and I were actually planning on having breakfast at nearby Sweet E’s Café, but their ridiculous valet-only parking turned us off. As we made a u-turn in the Kaimuki High School parking lot, we noticed Sekiya’s. I hadn’t been there but two of them had, years ago. I said I didn’t really care where we ate as both of them would’ve been new to me, so in we went.
ATMOSPHERE:
Simple ambiance sans for a little Japanese garden at the rear which is visible from some tables. Cleanliness was top notch.
MENU:
Okazuya line, noodles, donburi, poulty, pork, beef, fish, soups, sushi, ochazuke, sandwiches, burgers, salads, desserts, breakfast.
FOOD:
Nabeyaki Udon
I’m always on the hunt for a bowl that’s equal to or above my favorite version at Ichiban Kahului but still haven’t found it yet. Sekiya’s broth came out searing hot, but I didn’t care for its flavor. There was no depth, sweetness or character to it, and tasted similar to a consommé; savory yet flat. On the upside, the toppings of soft-boiled egg, watercress, won bok, fishcake, tender pork slices and shrimp tempura were fresh and hearty.
SERVICE:
We were greeted immediately as we entered and had our pick of seats as the place was dead. Waiter service was good. Food delivery took about 15 minutes.
OVERALL:
Another lesson was learned after this meal: Don’t go looking for something better than what you already know is good.
