Shokudo Japanese Restaurant Bar

It's been a while since I've been to the Ala moana shokudo, and boy did it go downhill. The restaurant moved to a much smaller space and the food quality was not what it used to be. Not sure if the AC was not working but there were table fans everywhere.

Place is very small since they moved stores. Service is subpar. Food was really unappetizing, we were starving and couldn’t finish the meal. Dynamite used to be really good, but now it’s just a bunch of mayo on a roll.

They still got it with the honey toast. The service is friendly from everyone we interacted with. We had a new server so the service was a bit slower. We stopped in just for the honest toast and it was worth it. They have validated parking in the back as well.

SO. MUCH. JUDGEMENT. Food was meh. Will not be back. The young server had a comment for EVERYTHING I did with my food. Skipped dessert. Not the same as before. Too bad.

The restaurant is more of a diner than a restaurant. The interior is old and unsightly, the toilet is in terrible condition. All in all, it's a little unclean (napkins were on the floor,... . The food was sometimes disappointing. Despite the small number of guests, the waiters seemed overworked. Our main courses were completely forgotten. After the starter we were asked if we would like dessert, which we said no, pointing out that we had a pending sushi order. When there was no sushi 15 minutes later, we asked and the waiter told us he had forgotten it. All in all we wouldn't come again.
