I love Kabuki Okazuya. Too bad the take out section closes early. I wish they had delivery. They only take cash outside, from what I've experienced. I dream of what I would order! But, I'm not a morning person. I rarely make it there before they run out of food or before they close. Once I was there early and they ran out of the good stuff. They had a couple hours or so before closing time, but they don't refill what's sold! ‍‍‍ But, I still love eating there. ‍ See you in my dreams...Shrimp tempura and shoyu chicken!

Even though there's new management, the recipes are still the same. I've heard oh this is different, that is different. Not totally true. Everything tastes just like I remember it tasting. They are also very affordable. Don't be discouraged by the line, they only allow 4 people inside at a time, two ordering and two waiting. They also run two registers to soled things up. Remember though...it's cash only. Which I find funny because they charge tax.

We love Kabuki Okazuya! When I think of Okazuya, I usually compare other places to the offerings at Kabuki. There are many other places on the island that serve this type of food, but my bias always steers me back here. I appreciate their menu being on the smaller side so it isn't too overwhelming to come to my decision. I'm the type that wants everything, so it's hard for me to go into a place that has endless options. Foodie problems... haha! :( Service is quick and to the point here. Just wait in line, walk up when you're called, and point to the things you want. There's a menu board on the wall that could help guide you, but the simplest rule of thumb is to choose what looks good that day. Phone orders are also welcomed! Popular items are hard to identify since there's a nice blend of local & Japanese okazu to suit different taste preferences. Our faves start with the fried halibut - a simple piece of fish that's lightly breaded, salted, and fried. Then next is the gobo! This really grew on me over the years of getting old lol I love the savory crunch that has a kick of spice, depending on the bite. Third fave is the long rice noodles and shoyu chicken. I can't ever get a plate without one of the two, so they both land as my third favorite lol. There's also daily specials that remain the same week after week. Thankfully for me, they have all my faves everyday! Admittedly, it would be nice to see different specials from time to time. Through the decades of dining here, I'm almost certain the majority of their menu hasn't changed. On a positive note tho, I am happy to say that I have NEVER had issues with the food here. Yes, everything is prepared ahead of time, but thankfully it all remains fresh and my tummy always approves too!

Rushing to take hubs to get his flu/covid shot, get car wash cuz his friend is here from California, dropped him off at PT ... Hamburger and egg please( heard 2 people in line order that.) Good enough for fast breakfast. Couldn't resist bought 2 rolls of maki sushi, one for visiting friend and one for us. Taking friend to lunch after hub's PT

Okazukya review: Been coming here occasionally for years as it is relatively close to my house. Most items around $2-4 each. They have a variety of things from sushi, namasu, tempura, chicken. Tempura can be a little oily but it has good flavor. Chicken was little dry but nice shoyu flavor. Good spot if you are in the area and want a okazuya type of breakfast/lunch.

Wow it's been awhile since we've been to kabuki, had a line in the am filled out the sheet for easier ordering but if possible best to phone order your order and go in and pick up you can skip the line, Noodles come in pint $7 or quart size $12 and they pack it in there! All had good flavor really liked the long rice noodles! Everything was so tasty especially loved the halibut so soft and buttery never had a fried fish okazuya definitely must try it if you like fish. Also compared to a lot of other okazuyas their prices seem reasonable and the size of the pieces are good size! Definitely would come back!

OMG nooooo!!! I was thinking of taking my friend to this restaurant for his birthday next month, and just read on the question and answer if their restaurant is still open, and saw two answers mentioning that they permanently closed on January 28, 2024. I called Kabuki, and to my relief, the Okazuya side is still open. Yay! I noticed I didn't write a review for this restaurant yet, and after a string of mediocre service or food at other places this past month, I needed to write about somewhere that will lead myself and you yelpers to enjoy and saw this restarant pop up in my pending places to review. I love this place, especially the pork konbu, cone sushi and namasu. They are the best okazuya I could find, and I cannot find anywhere that serves delicious pork konbu like they do, so I have to make a special early morning trip just to get it. Although it says they close at 1p, they are basically out of the good stuff by 11a or sometimes, if I'm lucky, before noon. The last time I went, although a bit salty, I was fortunate to have the last two remaining pieces available for me to enjoy. Now that I am writing this, I am craving for their food and want to go sometime this week when I can wake up and drive out early to get it. There is nowhere to sit and enjoy their food, so I usually pick up to bring home. There is always a line, and only 4 people can be in the store at one time. Also, CASH only. There is an ASB ATM outside, in front of the strip of stores if you don't have enough cash because buying each item can add up. Lots of parking since it is in the waimalu shopping center.

Happy New Year everyone! First 2024 review goes to Kabuki Okazuya. Journey began Wednesday morning. Two bright lights flashing in unison every other second. I read sign outside Okazuya open seven days a week. Taken by surprise while driving to work, west to east via Kamehameha Hwy. Too late for me to turn around. I will keep in mind. Showed up next day on Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. There were two ladies with a couple of kids perusing what to order. Menu items, certain items must be pre ordered with phone number, business hours 5:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Beat the morning rush. Take a pencil and order form. Mark quantity in the box next to selections you'd like on order form. Bentos served until 11 a.m. I split the meals on Thursday and Friday for breakfast, mid morning snack, and lunch. Bento B $9.25 Verdict: Teri beef: thinly sliced, tender, not sweet, easy to pull apart with hashi and teeth. My type of teri beef. Loved it! I wish this would be available to buy on menu list. Gobo: Kick in every bite filled with some spiciness. Loved slight crunch. Grand wake up call. Rice: Fresh, came in handy to relieve spiciness from gobo. Kamaboko, smaller version of egg omelet and spam were tasty. Shrimp tempura was my least favorite. Half an inch thick of yellow orange batter coated and masked the perfectly cooked shrimp. Appearance and taste reminded me of Tanaka Saimin. I prefer a lighter, crispy and flaky batter. Returned on Friday morning and ordered one each: Butterfish: Marinated in shoyu or soy sauce. Savory and boneless. My fave! Chow Mein: Oily. Noodles were extra moist. I love and prefer slightly drier noodles. Cone Sushi: Too much rice vinegar. Some of the rice and carrots fell out of huge tofu or bean curd. I love a tasty cone sushi that doesn't fall all over the place. Corned Beef Hash Patty: My least liked item. Quite oily. Barely tasted corn beef. Higher ratio of potatoes to corn beef. Egg Omelet: Egg was larger than the one inside bento. Delicious! Fried Chicken: Juices were sealed in. Moist and tender on inside. Crispy skin on the outside. Long Rice: Tasty. Mac Salad: Second to the last and least enjoyed. Tuna overpowered elbow macaroni and mayonnaise. Potato Tempura: Yellow, sweet potato covered in half an inch, thick, oily, orange yellow batter. I prefer lighter, crispy, and flaky. Vegetable Tempura: My fave for deep fried appetizer! Winner! If I have to make my own bento, must haves: 1 Butterfish 1 Cone Sushi 1 Egg Omelet 1 Gobo 1 Fried Chicken 1 Long Rice 1 Teri Beef 1 Vegetable Tempura Bright smiles and fabulous customer service during early mornings makes a huge difference for those hangry/hungry. Cash only. Would love to try their konbu maki, nishime, and shoyu chicken.

Finally got a chance to stop here. Went on a Friday morning, was in the Aiea area. There is a checklist outside that you could fill out your order request. Prices are very reasonable. Good portion. Recommend: Okazuya. Maki sushi Cone sushi Shoyu chicken Egg roll Nishime Namasu Mac salad Corned beef hash Sweet potato tempura Limit 4 people inside at a time Cash only. Highly recommend
