i-naba Honolulu - Japanese restaurant in Honolulu - 1610 S King St # A, USA

You know its a good Japanese restaurant when most of the patrons are Japanese speakers. The price is decent and this place satisfy my ikura/uni cravings. Most of the meals comes with both a rice and soba combo. Also, this is the first time I tried sobayu, and its so good! Thanks for that experience.

It’s an authentic Japan soba restaurant😊 We had a Tempura bowl with cold soba noodle sets. The noodle was perfectly cooked and the taste was amazing! Also service was great. I loved it!

Adorable Japanese Restaurant! Food is really authentic served in true Japanese atmosphere. The service is at a very high level, the waiters are attentive and ready to help you at any time. I really like the presentation of dishes and the uniqueness of the menu. We ordered Kano (Duck) Nanban Soba with egg and Tori (Chicken) Nanban Soba. The broth was delicious however a soba has a specific taste, so I think that connoisseurs can really appreciate the soba in this restaurant.

Best cold soba on the island. Great service and high quality food served here. It gets packed during lunch time.

Excellent traditional Japanese. Went for a 9 person dinner. Small space so I called ahead (no OpenTable but if you call they'll reserve), and they asked for orders ahead of time which I appreciate for efficiency. Cost can be up their but portions are ridiculously BIG so worth it. We did the fresh soba which was noticeably smoother, ikura, scallop, uni bowl which was so good and tempura which is quality. Staff are on it in getting you whatever. Solid all around. No complaints.

My curry soba tastes pretty mediocre, but the COLD soba was perfectly cooked (prob the best soba I’ve ever had). If you’re into soba, sushi, and uni, you get to enjoy allll of them in one setting. My partner loved this place 💗

The service is much better than during the pandemic time. Surprised walking in available. It looks like the restaurant has more spaces now. If you want something quick and decent. This is a great place to go to. If no one talks too loud, you will feel it’s in Japan 🇯🇵

This place is a hidden little gem that seems to be only known by the local. I was lucky enough to find this place while searching for a place to eat and do not regret coming here at all. I got the soba noodle cold with tempura. The tempura was flaky and lightly fried. The soba noodle is made in-house and extremely well cooked and tender. Please slurp the noodles as this is the proper way of showing respect to the chef; it also makes it more flavorful. At the end, they give you a teapot of soba noodle soup to put it with your sauce; the soba-Yu. Drink it like tea. That was so satisfying after the meal. A great palate cleanser as well. It’s a little out-of-the-way, but definitely worth it.
