Teishoku Restaurant and Honu Bakery

 For the hubby's birthday, which was on a weekday, I picked up dinner for the family from Teishoku Restaurant, a casual Japanese restaurant in Kamehameha Shopping Center. Teishoku is not like most Japanese restaurants that close between lunch and dinner - they stay open the entire day, which is great because it allows me to call in our order mid-day and request for it to be ready by 5 pm.

Here's what I ordered for the family: 

Chicken Katsu

Kal bi

Miso Butterfish

Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura

The lal bi and chicken katsu teishokus were for the boys. The hubby and I shared the miso butterfish and tempura. Each teishoku came with a bowl of miso soup (not pictured).  Everyone wiped their dishes clean - no leftovers at all. 

And since Honu Bakery is a few doors down from Teishoku Restaurant, I picked up a couple of desserts for us to share:

strawberry cheesecake

strawberry panna cotta

We were pleasantly surprised at how delicious these desserts were. I've bought cupcakes and other pastries from Honu Bakery before and was never impressed with it, but these were outstanding, and the boys liked them too. Honu Bakery has a location in town on S. King Street (between Kaheka and Kalakaua), and I hope that location has these two desserts, as that location is much for convenient for me to get to.

Take-out from Teishoku

Teishoku, located in the Kamehameha Shopping Center in Kalihi, is one of my top go-tos for casual and affordable Japanese food. We normally dine-in here, but for Girl's Day, the hubby went the extra mile and ordered take-out for dinner since it was a weeknight. 

We ordered the chicken teriyaki and kalbi Teishoku plates for the boys. They love the meats, rice, and miso soup, and leave the veggies and salad for the adults. I'm not complaining since I love Teishoku's sesame dressing that comes with the green salad.

The hubby and I shared the Salmon Avocado Roll and Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura from the pupu menu.  The fish in the sushi is always fresh-tasting, and the tempura was still enjoyable despite not being fresh from the kitchen. 

While we did not order it this time, around, the Butterfish Misoyaki is a must here!

And now they take reservations online!  Visit their website for more information or to book your reservation!

Teishoku Restaurant

Whenever Nat and I try to get together for lunch, it takes a while for us to decide on a place. Mostly because I have to leave at a certain time so I don't want to go too far, and I don't like to go to places with limited parking.

And Nat takes online reviews into consideration.

And I'm kinda picky.

So when she recommended Teishoku, she was completely shocked that I eagerly agreed.

The location was convenient for both of us, parking was plentiful, and the restaurant had good reviews, so it was and ideal choice!

Appetizers

I decided to get Ramen Combo C, which consisted of a mini shoyu ramen (miso or paitan available for extra charge), teriyaki chicken, and mochiko chicken.  Appetizers and a salad were also served with the meal.

Mini Shoyu Ramen

Mochiko Chicken

Teriyaki Chicken on Rice

It was a lot of food for just $11.95!  I liked the teriyaki chicken the best - the flavors were spot on.  The mochiko chicken was very tasty too.  The batter was seasoned nicely, and was light and crisp.  The salad had a very yummy dressing drizzled on.

Nat ordered a Combination Teishoku with Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura and Misoyaki Butterfish. Her meal came with appetizers, a salad, and miso soup.

Miso Soup

Combination Teishoku

The food came out pretty quickly, and service was good.

Teishoku opened several months ago, and has already become a fairly popular restaurant. By the time we were done with lunch there were several parties waiting to be seated.

It was a great choice for lunch!
