Very delicious Javanese food. We ordered Combination Meals Choice B: Fried Oyster + Mixed Tempura. We also got Super Deluxe Sushi. The Combo BB is definitely a great value. We went there twice.
Really love the freshness of the sashimi. We opted for the Chirashi this time and it was super fresh and delicious. The sushi chef did a great job in the choices of fish. And the cuts of the pieces --- thick pieces. See the attached photo.
We sat at the bar and watched the chefs whip up delicious rolls and other sashimi dishes. We look forward to going back and that time, we will order some of the special rolls.
Pretty good Japanese food. One of the few places that still have chawanmushi. It does get busy so we tend to go about 445p for dinner. 2 choice bento was tasty. Staff was friendly.
Found this restaurant near where we live. My daughter likes soba so we looked around and this restaurant offers it. I placed my order online, which is super convenient, and easy to navigate. My only complaint is that I wish they had photos of each item so we can see exactly what we are purchasing.
We went in to pick up our order and the restaurant was nice, clean, and the staff were friendly.
Food was pretty good. Daughter said soba is bland, not much flavor. The sushi is good but the portion is a bit small. The side of beef teriyaki was really good but on the small side for how much it costs.
Would go back in the future for sushi.
Absolutely loved it. There was a wait (30 minutes) but places that are worth it usually do. Had the Fried Oyster and teriyaki beef combo. All very well prepared and flavorful. Wife had the rock Lobster and Shrimp combo which was also delicious. We will return for more.....
The restaurant is very unremarkable from the outside. My friend that lives near by said the queue outside is always long so she never tried to get in. We went there together during the week, in the evening. It was worth waiting (in the end I think it was around 20 minutes). Inside Kunio the vibe is very nice. When we first went there the male waiter was very hospitable and we loved the service, the second time woman serving us was in a rush and we got the check before even asking. But the most important thing - food. Sushi was amazing, worth the price. Definitely gonna be back when in Hawaii.
Good food and service. Just wished they had more options on iced tea. Recommended.
Update: food does not taste the same. Floors seem oily, lot of flies about. Just don't seem that restaurant is not well kept.
Mon-Thurs from 2-5pm they usually have a special. To bad that in order to get it the sushi bar has to be open. Past several visits there during the time frame sushi bar was closed.
We had the lobster meal with ribeye + sashimi and triple combo with tonkatsu, teriyaki beef and miso butterfish. Finished off with green tea and adzuki red bean ice cream. Everything was really good, rib eye was extremely tender. The only thing I would have opted out of was the tonkatsu, a bit dry on its own. Could have used a curry sauce or cheese on top. Thanks for a great meal, in less than an hour.
I have always liked Kunio. They are consistent, and food is good. I have been here several times already and one of the better places to have japanese food. I have lived and recently been to Japan, so it's pretty good. Definitely not on par with actually eating in Japan, but it's one of the better ones in Hawaii. And you don't have to run to the bank to take out a loan for this place.......lol....I recommend this place.
Got a combo with miso Butterfish, tonkatsu, teriyaki beef. Extremely tender meats, all perfect. Meal also came with complimentary appetizers. Gobo, edamame and imitation crab.
This place is amazing!! My husband treated me and the kids to an early Valentine dinner and it was worth every penny and more!! It was our very first time to Kunio and had heard so many wonderful things from friends that he decided to surprise us. We were fortunate enough to try their special "boat", which seemed a bit pricy at first, but once it arrived to the table we understood why! The presentation was beautiful but the food was even more amazing!! Every dish included on the boat...the fresh sushi, crisp and juicy tonkatsu, soft yet flavorful steak, crispy shrimp and vegetable tempura, and my favorite...perfectly steamed lobster tails with clarified butter were absolutely delicious!!! Even my 6 year old loved it!! There was not one morsel left and we rolled out feeling satisfied and content!!! It really was the best deal and a must try for everyone!! We will be back again!!!
One of the best place for sushi and they have one best steak on island...price is reasonable and the food quality is good...i love the steak on how they prepare it....just steak on butter and onion and hot rice is awasome.....side is awesome too....
Nice little place for Asian food. A bit crowded but that is a good sign. Service was friendly, food was downright Good! The bowl was a blast. Sake hit the spot.
Food is great. This place usually has a wait time but we got on for lunch instantly. They have cooked Japanese’s food and sushi. I got the tempura mix. Everyone else got something cooked. Good food we ate everything.
Parking accessible. Bathrooms clean. Food is fantastic. The butterfish miso is deliciously cooked and marinated. The combo plates offer a variety of choices to choose from. Service is a bit slow.
