"Mr. Ojisan appears to be a favorite of the O‘ahu locals, it was actually suggested to my wife and I by a local we met in another mom and pop restaurant in Honolulu. We went here for dinner on our last night in Honolulu and it was worth the visit. Mr. Ojisan exists away from the touristy Waikiki Beach area and is filled with people who dine there regularly. The restaurant was already full at 6:30pm on a Friday evening, we did not have a reservation but were still able to be seated right away. The menu features an array of Japanese noodle dishes, sushi and a variety of fully cooked meat, poultry and seafood dishes. I had fried Ahi Tuna with noodles and my wife enjoyed a noodle dish as well, we also shared a Shrimp Tempura roll beforehand. The décor of this establishment is no frills, very basic setup but the business has no trouble whatsoever filling the limited dining room and bar space. It was very obvious, that this was a place that the tourists do not go to, it likely has the same lineup of patrons every week-because the staff clearly treats most of the customers as if they were regulars. The staff was very kind to us and patient as well, given it was not entirely easy for me to quickly determine what I wanted given I don't indulge in this cuisine very often. Overall, I wouldn't say that this is a must do if you are in Honolulu but if you have an open night with no dinner plans, this is a place you might want to check out. Mr. Ojisan is also a very good place if you are seeking to dine on a budget, very affordable. Ultimately I would go if your schedule permits but if it does not-you aren't missing anything truly spectacular. Enjoyable experience for us but not the end of the world if we don't make it here again."
