Customer-Focused

We first started out as a “Mom & Pop” shop selling vegetables from local farmers and a variety of perishable and non-perishable groceries. With many large chains and supermarkets moving into the area over the years, we knew we had to adapt to ensure we could continue to provide the value we’re known for, which is exactly what we’ve done. Call us today at (808) 935-8209.

Family-Owned

As a family owned okazuya, we know how important family and the holidays are, which is why we make it that much easier to entertain with our catering services and homemade pies. We even sell malasadas, which are made from scratch, the first Wednesday of every month. We provide our customers with only the best Japanese cuisine and Hawaiian food on the island and serve our dishes in the “old plantation style.” 

A Varied Menu to Suit All Taste buds

Whether you’re craving Japanese cuisine, Filipino, Chinese, or Hawaiian food, we have something that will hit the spot. We will go above and beyond to ensure our customers are happy, whether it's a quick lunch or catering for a large event. Additionally, our wide selection of cuisines means that everyone will find something to tickle their taste buds. Our hundreds of satisfied customers will vouch for that!
