Irifune Restaurant

Love, love this place! The food is “home cooking”, just great ingredients at a good price, delicious flavors. It’s like a mix of traditional Japanese and more “robust” savory if that makes any sense. They have a wide selection of meat, fish and vegetarian options, something for everyone. We tried seafood options but I’m sure you can’t go wrong since we saw people ordering lots of other stuff from the menu. The location is also good, secluded spot in a large plaza with shade and away from the noisy roadways. Definitely check it out!

went peak lunchtime on a friday 11:30, so it was pretty busy, and we had to wait a little while for the food but it was worth it. they have some tables available outside for dining. we got the bento lunch and ginger pork. very delicious. wish they were open for dinner and/or weekends so we could come more often!Dine in: YesOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: YesDelivery: NoCurbside pickup: No

I loved the original and I am happy to see that they are pivoting in the pandemic. Outdoor seating and the other customers were wearing masks. I hope more sushi will be on the menu in the future. I’ll be back for more ono food!

2022.12 update: Basa fish replacement for ono ahi market inflation. Always a longtime local lunch fav for the ‘salaryman’…especially situated on the chill 1970s Mililani Street pedestrian mall. The noise of the doves cooing and wind in the trees and palm leaves with aloha music covers the typical machine traffic noise of downtown. Its almost like the ‘common man’s Pacific Club’ for lunch meetings.

I eat here maybe twice a week or more. I absolutely love it. Sometimes I invite my husband for lunch here with me, and he likes it too. Very clean, friendly, yummy, establishment.

Very small place. No alcohol is served here so make sure to BYOB if you want. The food was very well prepared and it was OYSHEE!!!

The bento is delicious and authentic that remind me of my days in Japan. Although small in size, it's still one of the best Japanese restaurants I visited in Honolulu. I particularly recommend tempura and breaded tofu.

Had the ginger pork and sashimi combo. Great flavors and filling for the price. Nice shaded area to eat outside. Nice service.

Ordered the bento as I usually do. Waited for half an hour and the guy who took my order tells me he gave my order to someone else. This after I had him repeat my order number. Gave my order away? I'll bet it would not have happened if the guy actually used the order number he gave me. Last time at this overpriced place. Or as my coworker calls them, healthy, because the portions are so small. This was the only time and place where I ordered take out and they gave my order away. Did the guy get free food or they just didn't put my order in? It does not make sense.

Excellent japanese bento box like lunch box. Really high quality food at good price for Honolulu / Waikiki standard. Only open for lunch.Dine in: NoOutdoor seating: YesTakeout: Yes
