Wonderful experientce at Izakaya Takonoki in Waikiki Hawaii. I have been here several times and always enjoyed the food, environment and service. Definate 20 stars.

The food here is good, but the service was terrible. I brought in two white friends and received service that should have been embarrassing. I had to chase for drinks, food, and the check. Every other pure Japanese table received service, but any table that came in with a Caucasian was similarly ignored.

Pretty good Japanese izakaya!
Decor is traditional Japanese, photos on the wall on the staircase up to the seating area are of Japanese celebrities who have visited before. Japanese cinema posters plaster the walls.
Went here after a long day and sat right at the bar. Place was mostly Japanese and Japanese-speaking Americans at the bar I had an interesting chat with.
Definitely authentic style izakaya foods, with both Japanese and Hawaiian beers on tap. I opted for the tuna bowl and Kirin. Reasonable prices for the food, and fast and friendly service. It's a bit loud inside, given the bar environment and the number of customers.
Good for larger groups, there are large seating areas and tables available!

Izakaya with a very old school, traditional feel. Judging by the amount of Japanese being spoken, is frequented by a lot of Japanese customers.
Enjoyable experience, sitting at the Bar, having a few beers, eating and watching the chef make your dinner at the grill.
