Asahi Grill Ward

I have passed by this place 1 million times and finally took the opportunity to dine there with my brother and nephew. We came on a Sunday morning around 11am and there was enough parking. However by the time we left the restaurant was full and all tables taken. This is a great local restaurant that caters to local palette. I had the tan tan ramen and it was tasty. My companions also enjoyed their meal thoroughly. As i glanced around, it was evident that the fried rice is a fan favorite as well as the oxtail soup. Service was a little slow but we weren't in a hurry.

Last time I came here many years ago it was just okay, but was happy to come back here for lunch recently on a weekday with some coworkers and the food was really good! Prices are very reasonable compared to other places, and my dish was tasty. I got a chopped steak dish.

We have ordered here in the past and it’s been great! HOWEVER, we ordered tonight and my husband’s patty was completely raw. It was an incredible disappointment as we won’t be returning until the quality is consistent.

When you come here you need to try the oxtail soup and the Pork tonkatsu, both dishes were filled with sooo much flavor. A lot of meals on Hawaii can get really expensive but both of these dishes were at a reasonable price and a very good portion. Overall the restaurant is very mom and pop style so don’t expect any fine dining service. It’s good for a quick bite or casual dinner. 10/10 would recommend!

Although the service is okay, the food here (especially the oxtail soup) is freaken amazing. It's suppose to be famous and I believe it! Their kalbi and donburi was decent too!
