When visiting Suntory, plan ahead and make reservations. Too often I 've wanted to have a quick lunch at Suntory only to find out they 're fully booked for lunch. My Mom loves Suntory and has been asking me to take her for awhile. Luckily I snagged reservations and ordered the limited set Shunsai lunch. Service at Suntory is always great. We were seated at a very nice and comfortable table. Our server was attentive and efficient. Not to mention the a/c was at a perfect temperature. Not too hot or cold which for me is hard to do. Everyone in our group found something to suit their taste. For me, the tempura and cold udon combo was excellent. Tempura was crispy, light, and had all the right ve...
TL;DR Upscale and refined Japanese dining in the heart of Waikiki. NOTE: this review is for the Washoku dining experience. My wife, daughter, and I dined at Suntory on a Friday night. We were able to secure a reservation at 5:30pm opening and were seated promptly. Parking is available at the Royal Hawaiian Center and is validated by the restaurant. Of course, we kicked off the night with a couple ice cold Suntory draft beers. Yummy!!! I ordered the TOKI hot pot and sushi course plus an ikura temaki, my wife ordered the IRODORI seasonal kamameshi course plus an uni temaki, and we ordered a bowl of hot soba and the miso salmon belly for our daughter. Everything was delicious. The highlights fr...
TLDR: Restaurant Suntory is basically three restos in one. We did the Teppanyaki and although pricy, very tasty if you're looking for an elevated experience. Basically think grown-up Benihana without the onion volcano. This was our last meal in Waikiki and I love the idea of restaurants within a restaurant. We opted for the extended tasting menus (sans lobster) and got a US filet and a wagyu filet to compare both. While the wagyu was certainly a bit more tender and super delicious, I wouldn't say it was far beyond the flavor of the US filet. If the US filet was at an 8, the wagyu brought it to maybe a 9. Definitely get the garlic fried rice and it is a fair bit of food so come hungry. The pa...
The week after you come back from Japan, you mope around the house wishing you were still in Japan, eating all the things that Japan has to offer, especially Kaiseki meals. You can experience a little bit of Japan right here in Waikiki (for a hefty price). Choose washoku or teppanyaki seating, I've done both and they are fantastic. We had all kinds of great dishes in the kaiseki meal, and also ordered the Miyazaki beef sukiyaki dipped in the soft boiled onsen egg. Ahhh. Perfection. Almost like Japan!

We had the teppanyaki and we chose the royal course. The sashimi, the clam chowder, everything was delicious. We paid extra for the garlic fried rice and it was worth it. The beef was excellent. They have drinks made with Japanese whiskey and gin. They have a martini made with vodka and sake! The service was great. Our reservation was at 6:30 and they didn’t start the cooking until a little bit later, but that was ok with us.
Great quality service and food is exceptional Had the wagyu steak and shrimp tempura. The juice is prime fresh (you squeeze it at your own table) and the ambience was delightful. Could use a tad bit of A/c in the dining area but hey this is Hawaii.
Great thick sliced sashimis and nicely cooked Japanese rice. But the sides were rather flavourless and tasted like unfrozen food. The lunch set was too pricey for me to return could get a big poke bowl fresh juice for this price.
Suntory food is the art, every dish come with beautiful settings and stuff explain all food details. Food is great, suntory draft beer is good

I've been here twice so far and it's almost amazing. The dishes for the course menu are always delicious and they explain each one so well.
Wonderful service, on the pricey side but totally worth the experience.
