Waikiki Yokocho Gourmet Alley Opens December 1st



Waikiki Yokocho is Hawaii's newest hotspot for dining.  Yokocho, meaning alleyway dining in Japan,  will bring 16 Japanese eateries to the lower level of the Waikiki Shopping Plaza including ones featured in the Michelin guide and Zagat.  Whether your craving sushi, ramen, or kushikatsu, you'll find it and more on Noren Street, Engawa Terrace, and Ramen Road of Waikiki Yokocho.

Last night's media event gave guests an amazing sampling of the Japanese themed restaurants.  My favorites were the delicious Japanese Style premium beef yakiniku and the Wagyu Tataki Sushi by restaurant Sizzle.  The Kazen ramen by Volcano Ramen and Pork Katsu Curry by Nin Nin Curry were delicious as well.  My favorite dessert was the kushikatsu cookie and cream by Kushikatsu Tanaka.  It's a must try!   

Waikiki Yokocho opens tomorrow, December 1.  Hours of operation:  Sunday through Thursday 11am to midnight; Friday and Saturday 11am to 2am.

    1. If you can get there after 6pm, it's $7 flat rate at the Waikiki Shopping Plaza. Otherwise it's $2.50 per half hour.
