Very expensive for what we got. Waiter was great and helpful. However, I cook was not interested in really putting on a show. For the price of the food, just disappointing. Probably won’t come return.

ハワイに行く度に行ってしまうお店です。パフォーマンスはこちらのお店ならではで毎回楽しみにしていますが、今回担当の方はちょっと大人しい方だったので少し残念でした（他のテーブルの盛り上がりが聴こえてしまいますので）日本語の話せるスタッフが細かくオーダーを聞いてくれるので、日本人でも安心して来店できます。誕生日だと話したらローソクを立ててスタッフの皆さんで歌を歌ってくれ最高でした！またハワイに行く時は行きます。

Food and services were also excellent! The only issue was the a/c wasn’t working well and with the grill going it was made the experience for us to feel hot and sweaty during the meal!

We were seated about 25 minutes after our reservation time and then it took forever for our cook to arrive. We were at the restaurant for nearly 3 and a half hours total.

Food was delicious. Always entertaining. A bit of a wait to be seated but complimentary edamame was offered to apologize for the wait. Nice touch. Will be back again!

Space was too cramped. Like the enthusiasm of the chef but needs more training. Food was mediocre.
