  • Fun and delicious experience! Prices are reasonable considering locations and service. We tried filet steak and chicken. Both were good and more than enough quantity after also getting veggies and rice to start. Be prepared for a lot of markups for drinks, fried rice, family photo, etc. but you can say no most of those without issue. You’ll likely be sitting with some strangers so be ready to chat a bit. We made a reservation for a Saturday evening. Seemed like those without reservations and only 2 people were able to get in relatively quickly.

  • I can't believe I haven't reviewed Tanaka of Tokyo yet—our family's all-time favorite celebration spot! Well, spank me with a wet lobster tail! For our family, Tanaka of Tokyo is the go-to place for birthdays, retirements, and just-because celebrations. We've hosted countless birthdays at both the Waikiki Central and Ala Moana locations. We even celebrated my mother's 80th birthday in the Ala Moana restaurant's side room, and they easily and graciously handled our party of 40 guests! We also brought our VIP guests from Japan here for dinner, and the food and service were so good that our friends still talk about it as one of their most memorable meals in Hawaii. So why do we love Tanaka of Tokyo? First of all, the food is DEE-LICIOUS! People often think it’s a traditional Japanese restaurant, but really, it’s a Japanese-style steakhouse. Their steaks are mouthwatering, the lobster tails and scallops are scrumptious, and ohhhh—the shrimp! So bouncy and juicy, especially when cooked right on the Tanaka cooktops. My husband knows to order the seared ahi appetizer to keep me smiling. And let me tell you—the fried rice is to die for! I love that we can customize the amount of garlic. The kids want a ton, and my husband and I prefer just a smidge. Of course, the highlight of the evening is the cooking show. I always giggle at the smiley face drawn with oil on the cooktop and the dancing shrimp tails. The kids squeal with delight when the chef lights the fire, creates the erupting onion volcano, and juggles rice bowls. It’s pure fun! On top of the amazing food and presentation, the service is impeccable. From the moment you arrive, it feels like you're in Japan. That thoughtful attention continues until they open the door with a bow as you leave. Everyone is just so darn nice there! I also love that they’ve added a birthday package. For a small extra charge, you get an absolutely gorgeous and strawberry-licious Japanese-style celebration cake. It’s not too sweet, melts in your mouth, and makes you sigh with happiness. Tanaka of Tokyo is an epic restaurant for families, visitors, and anyone looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. Give it a try—but save me a tail!

  • $60 for steak, lobster miso soup, salad, hot green tea and choice of ice cream is a steal! The atmosphere is awesome, the people are very friendly and the service was amazing! The chef was fun and put on a good show, while cooking all of our food perfectly. I would recommend this place to anyone!

  • Awesome service even though we didn't have a reservation. Wait time was short. Server was on point. Hibachi Chef was a real pro presenting the show he had performed. Even the photographer was professional, really clean and clear pictures of my family and I. I will definitely attend another dinner show in the future.

  • As always, what a wonderful experience at this fine restaurant. As a local resident, it’s such a pleasure to bring family and friends—whether they live here or are visiting—to enjoy an evening that’s consistently exceptional. On this visit, Head Chef Joe was absolutely amazing. I’m sure he always is, but it was such a treat to meet him in person and experience not just his incredible cooking, but his humor and genuine aloha spirit. He truly made the night unforgettable. Mahalo to the entire staff and management for continuing to deliver the kind of service, atmosphere, and cuisine that remind me why this place is one of my favorites on the island. Can’t wait to come back!

  • We had a great time! The chef was very friendly and put on a great show. The food was delicious and unlike many hibachi places, they didn't just throw ridiculous amounts of butter on everything, yet it still tasted great. Will definitely be back!

  • Every single time I come here, everything is so incredible! Tanaka of Tokyo, you are my favorite place. The food and the service is amazing and we just love the show! Our waiter was Enzo, our chef was Mikael- they were so awesome, great service. Steven, the manager was the absolute nicest, he came to check on us multiple times and was just so great!! We had the steak and lobster and shrimp and boy was it so delicious. Cooked to perfection, so flavorful and juicy. The fried rice is the best here, so good. Then we finished it off with chocolate ice cream- so decadent. I always leave here grinning from ear to ear. I love you Tanaka of Tokyo!
