• Our Favorite Restaurant

    An excellent Japanese cuisine restaurant. Amazing interior, great food, and fast service. It’s our first time in Honolulu. We tried restaurants with long lines, thinking that would help us find a good one. But none of them met our expectations. Now, KAMUKURA is our favorite restaurant!

  • Highly Recommended

    Had a great time and delicious food here with my wife and 18 month old daughter. Very spacious dining area and looks to be a nice bar area too if you're just here for drinks. Really liked their signature ramen for its lighter broth. Highly recommended. Wish the restaurant good success!

  • Would Return for Sure

    We had the bbq beef+scallions and the tan tan ramen and both were INCREDIBLE. The mai tai was delicious and the service was also great! The decor inside is beautiful and it is a good place to enjoy great food. Would return for sure and recommend others come as well!

  • A Wonderful Dining Experience

    A wonderful dining experience. Incredible drinks with amazing food. Do your stomach a favor and get the surf & dine sampler to start. It has all the yummy goodness to share. If you are the drinking type, start with Osaka 1986 to start your dining experience. I did the Kamu-moco as my entire.

  • We All Loved It

    Great new neighborhood spot! The restaurant is fresh, bright, open, airy, spacious, and welcoming. The wait staff are friendly, helpful, and attractive. I really appreciated the quality and value of the happy hour offerings, the clean comfortable seating and the big beautiful setting.

A Special Dining Experience

This restaurant is located just 2 blocks from Waikiki Beach! With a quiet ambiance on the corner of Walina St and Kuhio.

This is their flagship restaurant straight from Japan. The Director of Operations is Mioko and she is truly one hard working savvy business woman. Her attention to detail is impressive.

I reached out to her to request a special dining experience for my employees and provided her with a budget. She was able to work with the chef who curated a menu just for us.

When we arrived, there was a special seating space ready for us. A menu with our company name listing a five course meal.

Every dish was served with the freshest ingredients, served timely, and effortlessly. The flavors were delightful. The appetizer assortment consisted of Oishi Edamame served cold but flavorful. Pork and chives gyoza was pan fried to perfection where the skin was thin but the bottom had a little crisp to it and with the dipping sauce, it was delicious and kept me wanting more. The fried chicken karaage was light and fresh, and the thick cut Aburi char siu pork was a generous portion and rich in flavor.

Next was the sushi, fresh high quality fish for the Nigiri and excellent quality wasabi and ginger.

The main course a Wagyu Beef Patty with a gravy that made me want to lick my plate clean! The Patty was so moist with a buttery texture.

As we were all already feeling full and satisfied, they bring out the next course. Their signature Oishi Ramen has a French inspired soup base that is full of umami flavor. I ended up consuming all of the soup. The ramen noodles were thin and Al dente, and the braised pork belly made the dish decadent.

And to end the meal, I had a mango lilikoi sorbet. What a delightful experience. I am looking forward to hosting all my friends and family here. If you want great food and service, I highly recommend this place.
