Doraku Waikiki

Excellent experience with beautiful Japanese seafood delicacies. We ordered the Platinum that has over 65 pieces of sushi presented on a beautiful block of wood. Each handcrafted selection offered the essential flavors from the oceans of Japan. This was a visual as well as a pallette driven adventure. We also ordered the Oster shooters that were well crafted. The heat mixed with the slight soy and scallion flavors was a nice mix.

This place is great, in the heart of Waikiki if you're looking for and upscale sushi place this is it. The service was great They did not see us until everyone in our party arrived. There is parking in the structure $4 with validation. The staff was very attentive explained everything perfectly and helped out. When it started to rain they move things around so we could still sit outside. The atmosphere was great You said on the patio which can get a little loud from the street performers, but when the rain started that solved the street noise. I would recommend this in return. Mahalo.

Busy as hell on a Saturday night, we had a walk in and had to wait about an hr but the staff was very friendly and didn't get the least annoyed with the constant asking if the table was available. A group of what appeared to be fashionistas was very loud, made having our own discussions difficult...but..the service was excellent. Our waitress was fantastic, she kept expectations managed about how long it would take for drinks and food because of how busy it was...and then everything came quickly. Drinks were top notch, sushi was excellent. I would definitely come again, maybe not on a Saturday night, I'm a little older and like a more peaceful meal. Great restaurant.
