Aburiya Ibushi - Honolulu

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, yummy food. thought like back in Japanese.

We loved everything we got here! The grilled vegetables were amazing (especially the corn) and the seasonal sashimi was immaculate. We also got the beef tongue and the beef tataki and both were great. Their hiball drinks are also delicious and pleasantly affordable.They can often fill up especially on weekend nights so recommend calling beforehand for a reservation! I’ll definitely be visiting again next time I’m on the island

Very good service, however food’s a bit underwhelming. The highlight of the night was the miso tofu and yuzu sake, but unfortunately all the grilled items had a heavy burning fuel taste, tho the texture’s good. Recommend either order the tofu or the grilled eggplant as the topping in the 2 were almost identical and both base item have basically no flavor to themselves, it felt like we ate the same dish twice.

Everything tasted great except the wait could be long at

Very good small izakaya place, with a great atmosphere and friendly service. The place is small so it gets a bit crowded and noisy. The kitchen is small so some grilled dishes take a bit longer... But great place overall!
