Utage Lounge - Honolulu

Temperature check upon entry. (Plus) Spaced seating sanitized tables after guests leave. (Plus) Now, on to the food...the chicken, eggplant tofu in shoyu base was savory with some sweetness. (Plus) The pigs feet soup served hot with fairly clear broth was decent with radish slices and chopped veggies. (Plus) I may be a bit spoiled remembering my grandmother's soup back in the day but I will definately be back to try the rest of the Okinawan menu. Lastly, our waitress and staff were very attentive with water, coffee or iced tea refills, great recommendations and service. (Plus)

Great service... They treat you like family here, or maybe better than your family?!?!? Definitely a place for locals and open to tourists wanting a local experience while having attentive service. Food is very good and half the menu are specials that vary by the day, though there is a weekly routine. Everything is fresh and very tasty/flavourful. The bill is also enjoyable as many of their dishes includes dessert and a non alcoholic beverage.

Amazing food, really friendly and fast service! Make reservations this place gets busy fast!

Great place for comfort food. Traditional Okinawan Japanese Local entrees. Prices may seem steep but you get a complete meal including entree, soup or salad, tsukemono, beverage and even dessert. I feel it's actually a good value for the quality of food and what you get. They even serve Green River soda to bring you back to the good ole days. Service is always fast and friendly and you never feel rushed at any time even if all tables are full and there's a line outside. We sometimes need to remind ourselves how we'd feel if we were waiting for a table outside and give ours up after our meal instead of holding up a table turnover the wait staff are still attentive and smiling even with empty dessert dishes on the table. Definitely a place to go to and return to again if you've already been there.

If you like Okinawa to eat this. Friendly service and a great atmosphere to eat a meal.
