Decided to try Aburiya Inushi and the food and service were great. Do not let the slightly worn and rough around the edges interior fool you, it is actually a great place to have a meal. We tried many dishes, I’m always surprised when the vegetables dishes are done very well, it shows that the same attention will be given to the other dishes. That being said, highly recommend the potato salad, I think it’s the seasoning they put on top but regardless,it’s a must. Also with the eggplant and minced meat is very good. For the meat eaters, definitely get the pork belly, it was delicious, especially with the light char on the meat, I just wish the prok belly was placed on the cabbage instead of sitting in the juice, but it still tasted great. The barbecue beef tongue was tender and delicious, especially when paired with the greens and wasabi. The barbecued skirt steak was very tender and cooked perfectly. The fried octopus was just okay. The rest of the dishes we had like the sausages and mushrooms were good. Overall, it is a very comfortable place and the food is tasty. Definitely need to make reservations a day or two prior because it gets busy in the evenings.

Aburiya Ibushi is all about that perfect smoky char — specializing in authentic Japanese charcoal-grilled (炙り焼き / Aburiyaki). Each dish carries deep, savory flavor with that unmistakable grill-kissed aroma.
Reservations are HIGHLY recommended — seating is limited and fills quickly. The bonus? You can stroll right next door afterward for incredible desserts at Cha to Gelato Zen.
Food: 4/5
Solid izakaya lineup packed with flavor and texture.
– House Potato Salad (ポテトサラダ)
– Ewa Sweet Corn (とうもろこし)
– Lotus Root (蓮根 / れんこん)
– Wagyugyu Beef Tongue (和牛タン) & Chicken Thighs (鶏もも肉) — absolutely phenomenal!
– Ahi Tataki (マグロのたたき) — perfectly seared and seasoned.
Ambience: 4/5
Compact but comfortable setting with clean bar and table seating. Ideal for a relaxed dinner date or hangout spot.
Service: 4/5
Friendly and proactive staff. Our server went above and beyond — even checking dessert openings next door at Cha to Gelato Zen.
Parking: 3/5
Parking is limited, so expect to walk a bit. Worth it once you’re seated and smell that charcoal.

This place is just too good. A gem in Honolulu. Very reasonable price and unbelievable portion (especially considering it’s a Japanese restaurant).
Cold tofu is very refreshing. Beef tongue is tender. All the grilled meat tastes great! You can literally see the fire. Oxtail porridge is very comforting. Everything is of great portions. I visited it last time I came to Honolulu and do not regret coming here again this time. Will visit in the future too!

You had me at IZAKAYA! A couple of my Judo buddies have been wanting to catchup when I was back in town, so a long *one month long* layover lol made it perfect timing to meet up! My favorite Izakaya stop is Tori Ton, but I wanted to try something different, so booked their sister location, Izakaya Tenkichi, located just above.
Happy as a clam as I’ve been wanting to checkout Tenkichi with my ninjas, however when I told one of my buddies of my choice, he revealed that another bro in our dojo didn’t eat seafood. Huh what?! Mind you this ABB is Asian and travels to Tokyo & HK several times a year visiting family. Then again he’s not the first Asian I know that doesn’t like seafood. Just kinda weird heehe.
Okay, now that I got that SUS out of the way lol… ABURIYA IBUSHI became a consensus choice with all the grass-fed menu options lol. Friday night after work was chosen and I booked it days in advance. A wait list option is available, just know while we were here it was really busy for hours. Upon arriving we were warmly greeted and given a choice of tables where to sit which was nice.
The menus accessed via QR code or you can use Yelp or Google recent menu photos. We ordered family style and chose the country farm.
OUR TABLE:
“ABURIYAKI” BEEF FLANK: $18.00
KALBI SHORT RIB + UME SAUCE: $19.00.
SHIO-KOJI CHICKEN KARAAGE: $10.50.
“ABURIYAKI” GRILLED CHICKEN: $16.00.
BEEF ROUND TATAKI: $18.00.

GRILLED YUKON GOLD POTATOES: $7.00.
ONION + BUTTERED PONZU: $5.00.
ASAHI DRAFT BEER: $7.50 each (several rounds).
The standouts for me the “ABURIYAKI” BEEF FLANK, SHIO-KOJI CHICKEN KARAAGE, HOUSE POTATO SALAD, YUKON GOLD POTATOES, but imho everything was delicious! Ngl only thing I passed on was the large Onion that non-seafood bro ordered lol. Hey, more onions for him! Mmk.

Great service and great tasting dishes. Reservations is highly recommended. Parking is lacking, you’ll need to find street/meter Parking. They also own the matcha/ice cream shop next door so you can bring those drinks while you dine. Otherwise no outside food/drinks.

Came relatively early with a reservation for 6:30. Appetizers are served really fast. As the restaurant got busier the waiters were kind of struggling to keep up with the orders of multiple tables. Ended up waiting a long time to get our add on order.
Overall taste is good and still recommend this place.

We had the best meal in Oahu! The service is also amazing. Whoever rates under 5 should be sent to Seattle.

Good place to hang and drink. Food quantity small. Everything is ok. Worth the try. If I need a place to talk and not too hungry and want some drink, good choice.
Come to revisit in 2025! Still amazing and love the fruits vinegar ChuHi!!!!!!
