It’s HotPor time!!!
Either you like hot pot or you don’t. This is a nice hot pot place. The best part is that they have Japanese style seating as well as western style seating. If you chose the Japanese style you must take your shoes off so be prepared.
Personally I prefer an all you can eat hot pot, This is not that. Because of that it can get a bit pricey, Be prepared to spend some money.
All in all it’s a good pleasant atmosphere with attentive staff. You can have what you want and can order extra. It’s possible to walk away full but you are going to pay for it.

Went here with a couple friends for the first time and it is fairly expensive, looking at the prices, luckily the lead of the bridal party was paying since she made the reservation, otherwise this is one place I wouldn’t have been able to touch for a while. As for the food, it’s good. It’s just your simple hot pot, we went for the basic ichiriki soup base with the PorkZilla Nabe.

My husband and I came here for dinner and both of us loved it. Gabe was our server and he was great! He was very knowledgeable on the menu and gave us great recommendations. The hot pot and appetizers were both amazing. I got the citrus and peppery tasting broth and I loved it! We ordered the menu option with more veggies, but were able to get additional ingredients separately. My husband and I will definitely be coming back to try more things on the menu. Highly recommend!

Went during lunch and it was not busy at all but still for some reason it took so long to get anything done. Even the table next to us were waiting 10+ minutes to get their card back after paying their check. When we could finally ask for the check ourselves, the one we were given was wrong and took nearly 20 minutes for someone to come for us to get the correct one. When I say we got the wrong check, it was someone elses entirely. I will say that the food was good at least but it should not take 30+ minutes to pay when it is not busy.

I’m all about the AYCE hotpot game, but sometimes will indulge in a la carte places because the quality is likely better. And this was definitely the case with Ichiriki.
We stopped by around 6pm and had a short 15 min wait for a party of 2. My first thought was that it was freezing inside – the AC was blasting. But by the end of dinner it actually felt nice, so thanks for keeping us comfortable by the end.
For my meal, I orders the Minamoto set at $48 which came with an appetizer platter, chicken karaage, chanko set and shave ice. I chose the choice ribeye set and paitan broth. We also ordered the pork kimchi. All the apps were very good! At first I thought the pork kimchi was lacking pork, but it was buried underneath all the kimchi. The app platter was good and included cold tofu, edamame, poke + the karaage. The only item we didn’t like was the poke – very offputting taste. The actual chanko set was also good. Even though the amount of ribeye was minimal (again, I’m more team AYCE), I left sufficiently full with all the apps and other shabu accompaniments. Now what I LOVED was the paitan broth. It was SO incredibly flavorful. I asked for a refill nearing the end ans also asked for to go containers so I could take home the left over broth and cook up so yummy ramen the next day. The ending green tea shave ice was also refreshing and delicious.
Our server was friendly and checked in with us often. Parking is easy. Will definitely be coming back and getting that paitan broth again!

This was, without question, the worst dining experience of our entire Hawaii trip.
We had a reservation for 1:00 PM and arrived at 12:45 PM. Despite the restaurant being largely empty, we were refused seating and told—very bluntly—that we “had to wait until exactly 1:00.” Rules are rules, I understand that. What was unnecessary and unpleasant was the tone: bossy, unwelcoming, and delivered as an order rather than a polite explanation. The same treatment was given to other guests as well, which created an immediately tense and hostile atmosphere.
Unfortunately, things did not improve once we were seated. From ordering onward, the service felt openly dismissive. The staff appeared uninterested in helping, spoke in a condescending and aggressive manner, and gave the impression that serving guests was an inconvenience rather than their job. It was uncomfortable enough that it overshadowed the food entirely.
Dining out should feel relaxing and enjoyable. Here, it felt like being managed and talked down to. If the staff truly dislikes interacting with customers, this line of work may not be the right fit—because guests can absolutely feel that resentment.
Hawaii is known for warmth and hospitality. This restaurant delivered neither. I would not return, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a pleasant dining experience.

My daughter invited us here for lunch! Hot pot soup she says! I prefer Aunty’s hot pot or Heavenly Hot pot! since I’m a connoisseur on hot pot. But, I was wrong!.. at the other establishments you help n your self at the fridge.. usually over picking up items.. where it overly filled and can’t really taste the broth. Here the portions are preplated just right and the price is set! We ordered miso broth, Chanko, with short ribs and veggies $26, my daughter ordered pork tonkatsu $14- luncheon special , Mitch ordered spicey shoyu broth- Chanko with shirt ribs. We also ordered appetizers!
sautéed mushroom, namasu, ahi katsu that were all very delicious!

I got the bento set with pork loin katsu the food was outstanding. I feel the wait staff need more instruction on how to serve at least three different people brought my food. It felt disjointed. It was just me so what I enjoyed is I went by myself and got a table right away. I ordered the poke Appetizers set. My favorite here is the minced ahi poke. Great flavor and consistency. I feel the edamame soy beans don’t belong here. They should offer wonton chips or lettuce leaf with the nori on this appetizer plate.
I ordered the pork loin katsu bento for dinner and the Katsu and sides were great. However the asparagus they served the bottoms so many of the asparagus bottoms was fibrous and hard to eat. The cooks and chefs should know better. They should try the ends before serving it then at least they know what shouldn’t go on the tray. The draft Kirib is my facoritese so refreshing. The Large is served in a tall stein which is great. As for the food servers there was a few of them and my bento comes with miso soup came before my soup which is a disappointment. When it came the soup was delicious.
Since I’ve been eating out on Oahu I’ve find Japanese restaurants live been to put shredded cabbage below their katsu but barely put anything because from where I’ve been NOTHING on Oahu they put their katsu on a bed of shredded cabbage is refreshing with katsu and tempura fried, grilled, or roasted ahi. I don’t understand why this place doesn’t put more shredded cabbage? It’s the cheapest vegetable on their shopping list. They don’t serve an inexpensive bento so I don’t thinks their saving money on cabbage.
My thinking on the music over head they should play culturally appropriate music or Hawaiian or slackkey guitar. Because the music they are playing on my visit is hard R&B and Rap. I know ithe staff is a younger crew but the majority of customers are like 49-70+ years old so something calming in the background is better with sunset/sundown times. The music is like L&L vibes so it feels cheap because of the rap and K Pop. In any case I’m coming back for the Shabu Shabu hot pit and hopefully my new friend the host Ms. Destiny will be here. She listened to my concerns and was very customer service oriented.
I shared how the music can make or break the TIP because this is the service industry and if you can cam and make people feel like people and make them feel like they matter through their eyes, ears, nose and mouth then they will appreciate your service with a tip or becoming repeat customers.

Had the ichiriki soup base with the seafood dinner chanko as always with added beef and pork. They used to have snow crab legs included in the dinner set, but now they have it separately for about 15 dollars more. They also dont have the avocado maguro on the menu, which in the past was spectacular. Im glad at least the ichiriki soup base tastes the same. Lovely…..my host was awesome and took very good care of me and was very attentive well deserving of her tip. The atmosphere was great and not too busy. Went around 1130 to noon and tney close at 2pm and open again in tne evening. Parking was alright at that time. Experience was great just wish they kept the avocado maguro.

Ok sooo for a person who lived in Japan this is such a great find…. Food great! Service AMAZING! Holy smokes the service by a ting man named Jaran OVER THE TOP!!
For what you’re getting the prices are so very reasonable I wish the music would’ve been more Japanese, but the atmosphere is fantastic. Shedding Japanese style in Japanese food truly a great place if you enjoy Japanese.
If you’re anywhere near the Aloha Stadium, do not miss this place if you get a chance !!
THANK YOU!!
