A cozy place with great service. Food is delicious and the presentation is superb. We came here with my husband and our baby and we had a great time. Our baby especially loved the garlic fried rice with lettuce and escallops.

Visited way back in the spring time of last year. It was amazing! The food was top notch and their house made alcohol was great and fun to try 🙂 the atmosphere is cozy but lively.

Authentic izakaya spot with great flavors, and many unusual dishes. Very reasonable price and service is great! Reservation is highly recommended.

One of my favorite dinner spots in Honolulu. Reservations are needed at this time.

Had an ok time at this izakaya. There was only one waiter for all of the guests, so once the place filled up service slowed down noticeably. We tried the various awamori they had available on the menu, and I would recommend either awamori on the rocks or mixed with their Okinawan lime soda. The flavored awamoris like the ones that come in the sampler were a bit mediocre in terms of taste and I feel they were cut with too much water.

We came in around midnight. This is very much a Tapas type of place not a full dinner.

my boyfriend and i made reservations for valentine’s day dinner after a friend of mine said she ate here for three consecutive nights during her own oahu trip. needless to say the restaurant exceeded our expectations and we ended up eating dinner here twice during our seven day trip. izakaya naru has excellent food and service, and it is easy to make same day reservations if you call (they pick up even when the restaurant is not technically open). my favorite dishes were the butter miso fish (a daily special), the homemade okinawa soba with ribs, and the berkshire pork. if you’re not a huge sake fan like me, i recommend trying some of their other drinks like the calpico sour.

*Reservations Only!* Had a fantastic time in this izakaya. It’s small and loud and makes the experience very exciting. Their draft beer (Orion) is served in chilled mugs and the Okinawan lime highball was refreshing.

It’s very authentic. The food was fresh and delicious. Besides, the chef and attendant are very nice to us. The only thing you need to remember is to make a reservation as soon as you can

This was our first time eating Okinawan food. We got the tako wasabi, pickled spicy cucumber, the taco rice, the seared salted pork, and the grilled chicken skin. The tastes are pretty different from we are used to, but still pretty tasty.
