Moa Kitchen - Japanese restaurant in Waimea - 65-1298 Kawaihae Rd, USA

Love the yuzu chicken ramen. The soup was my favorite and love the texture of the noodle with a chew. Grill riceball was also very good. Service is not the best. First round of the order, they missed 2 items, then we made additional order and they missed again. Toro sushi was also really good and melts in my mouth. The best meal I had this trip.

Awesome customer service the food is delicious and vegetarian friendly. The spicy veggie ramen was 10/10 and the toasty onigiri was the perfect texture! We will definitely be back.

Visited this popular Japanese spot and was genuinely impressed by the freshness, the presentation and taste of the fish. However, there was one dish in a red bowl (the name escapes me) that didn't quite hit the mark for me and my partner. The mix of flavors felt a bit off and wasn't to our liking. That said, the overall experience was delightful. Given the restaurant's popularity (and rightly so), I'd suggest making a reservation before heading over. Would definitely recommend for authentic Japanese flavors!

Definitely the best meal I’ve had in Kona, the sushi, ramen, and takoyaki were all amazing. The uni was perfect and also way cheaper than most places. Would highly recommend

Absolutely excellent. Sushi, ramen, and katsu for the keiki. Managed to stand out even among all the other very good restaurants in Waimea. Wish I had a Moa's at home.

This gem has some of the best food on the island! We got Fresh chirashi bowls brimming with tasty nibbles. Other patrons were slurping ramen which looked yummy but better for a cooler day.

This place was very good! It had a nice comfy atmosphere and had good service. The miso soup was also great.

A great spot to stop and get a variety of food at. In my party, we had Ramen, Yakatori, Sushi, and a some Appetizers. Everything was fresh and fulfilling. I was especially fond of the sushi presentation but admittedly the overall experience was a tad dull. The waitress and chef were quiet and didn't seem to be interested in talking over lunch. We asked some basic questions like where the chef practiced at and how long he was in sushi but had little reply. Also I did not realize until it was too late that every piece of sushi had Wasabi on it which was not my preference. Overall a nice spot and will return to try different things! 🚗 Parking was limited when we went and we had to park across the street but tables were available 💰 Moderate cost for the island
