Best WLM Reviews

Not the best photos because I had been immersed in the hot pot. I really liked the namesake Asuka broth. The sets are very complete and filling. Good quality ingredients. They were really low on staff but doing their best. On a Sunday evening, I saw people turned away, so it’s better to make a reservation. No alcohol served.
We showed up @8:30pm for dinner on Friday night. We were greeted by a man walking toward us crossing his arms in a large 'X' over his face saying, "We are closed!" I turned around to leave, but stopped when I remembered what it says online. I turned back confused and said, "Wait, it's only 8:30pm... Online it says you close @10pm?? Why are you closed?"
He replied stating that since Covid they close at 8:00pm... I'm sorry, but it's been 4 YEARS since the plandemic. If having customers is important to you, shouldn't you update the operational hours online four YEARS later??
If we are going to spend money out at a restaurant, it is important to us that we stay in our community and support our small local businesses. It would be appreciated if they would have the courtesy to change their operation hours online so we are not disappointed when we show up to support them, because after this we don't care to return.
Hot Pot! My friends took me here for the first time and really enjoyed it.
The service was excellent and the food was delicious.
Lots of broth options for you to choose from for your hot pot. I really enjoyed the garlic spicy broth.
Find parking on the main road (Waialae Ave)
Or on a side street
an amazing hot pot place ! i love their asuka classic broth. it is so creamy and yummy. great service and good meats to choose from. also recommend getting the softened garlic to add to your rice, broth, and meat.
Hands down the best hot pot place that I've tried. Service was also impeccable. Every worker constantly checked on us with ultimate positive vibes. Our waitress was friendly and super helpful. Truly the epitome of good service here! I had the kalbi and ribeye combo with tan tan broth and musubi. Delicious! To be honest, other hot pot places I've tried were all disappointing. If this place didn't work out, I probably would have given up on hot pot lol. Thank you so much Asuka for a wonderful experience!
First dinner at Honolulu! The service and food are very very good! Tips: if a set is not enough for you then order another set instead of individual item, the set’s value is the best. We ordered a lot of single items and the bill is $$$$….
We came without a reservation on Sunday night around 7:15pm and was told we probably had to wait until 8pm. The server was very nice and attentive, around 7:35pm he came to find us outside, and was able to seat us. So glad we waited! Food was worth it ????
We ordered 2 x Galbi + Ribeye Shabu Shabu Set. Meats were so tender, decently portioned. Would recommend this choice of meat.
For soup base we picked the
· Asuka classic: very delicious!! Creamy miso with hint of sake. The veggies tasted extra good in the broth. Comes with butter and pepper on the side. I preferred the broth without butter and pepper at first, but then adding both to the broth and eating the broth over rice was tasty ????
· Spicy Osaka Sukiyaki: this one was my favourite with the meats, tofu and udon! Perfectly sweet and salty with a kick of slight spicy from chili.
Overall we had a great dinner experience here. Delicious food and kind service. Would come back and recommend it to others ????
Great shabu shabu. BYOB. Meat quality if good. Special soup base is worthy trying. Also have the kombu soup base. Comes with rice, udon and basic vegetable. Can order more as needed.
