Updating since different owners and we heard they were going to go back to original recipes. We did takeout and ordered the teri steak, teriyaki pork and carrot tempura which is sold by the piece.
Plates came with a scoop of rice and miso soup. Flavor of food was good. Person who took our order and completed our transaction was very sweet and friendly.
We went back again and ate inside. We had the nabeyaki udon and their pork tofu and both were so delicious! We will definitely go back there again!

Unfussy homely cooking. Sashimi was the highlight and I enjoyed the fish and steak. The tempura was good at first, but as the batter is a little thick, got heavy towards the end. Good value for money

The food here is tasty and worth every penny. Everything is prepared to perfection and served with eye appeal and exceptional taste to follow. If you are in the area, you owe yourself the treat of eating at Toyko Tei. Guaranteed winner 10/10!!

It’s hidden on the lower floor of a strip mall/business center. They have lunch specials that gives you a good value for the amount of food you order. They are known for their tempura and it was crispy. However, the batter for the shrimp one was a little too thick. The veggies were crispy but some of them needs to be drained a little longer. The pieces of veg tempura was eating too greasy and oily. Kalbi was a little fatty and mushy rice. Miso soup was a nice start and seasoned well. Service was attentive and friendly.

Authentic Japanese feel. Don’t be scared to actually eat the miso by bringing the bowl to your mouth, and use the bowl provided on top for your rice. The guests are friendly and so is the staff.

Anything tempura is amazing here unique and one of a kind. Sashimi was also delicious. I didn’t care much for the pork teriyaki but 5 stars because that’s how amazing the tempura was!!!

This is a very local little dive. Staff was very kind and friendly. The food was decent and did have large portions, which we appreciated. We couldn’t even finish the large amount of food! It was a little hard to find, because it is in a very unsuspecting strip mall.

Cute place in Wailuku that has been here for many, many years. Hot tea and miso soup were delish. We came late at night so there were some thing understandably missing. The replacements were good.

Quality and quantity dropped quite a bit.
My tonkatsu had about 8mm of pork but the cooked miso fish was thick and tasted frozen.
Their famous haktaka chicken soaked for 2 days was sold out. Waitress says they only have enough for 3-4 orders.
Breaks my heart as this was a regular haunt.
Their prices are reasonable unlike other Hawaiian Japanese joints.
Now I know why because they cut out the quality and quantity.
