“ This was from a few months ago but went here on a spontaneous lunch for the lunch special and as usual it was quite yummy. Great service and also very friendly. I just love going here to chill and have delicious fresh food. I also always love bringing my daughter cause she prefers to watch the chef cook than be on her tablet and I appreciate that a lot. ”

“ Came here for dinner yesterday with a reservation and we were seated very quickly. Me and my family got a lot of food and the total came to around $500 and I would say it was pretty well priced but a little bit on the expensive side. I would say my favorite was my seasonal salad that I got was one of the best salads I've ever ever had in my life so if you're really into salads, I'd definitely recommend getting that. I also got the sirloin steak, which is really really good and $42. I would say it's justified for the taste in the size. My family got three sets in total for the other food and I think they really enjoyed it if you're fan of fish and sashimi and just Japanese cuisine and general I think you'll really enjoy this place so if you have the budget for it, I would recommend coming here if you want. Ambiance was nice and service was good! ”

“ Celebrated my friend's birthday here at lunch (it's difficult to find a good birthday lunch place). The service is great and the menu is the limited seasonal menu (winter). Look how beautiful and great variety the dishes are! We all were satisfied . Thank you very much! ”

“ Many locals avoid Waikiki because of the crowds and congestion. There are of course, special places that make coming into Waikiki a pleasure. Restaurant Suntory is one of those reasons. They are one of the Japanese restaurants that we would visit on occasion, but what has made them more special is their seasonal luncheon specials that they run from for about two months at a time. The dishes served will be offerings that are not normally served on the regular menu. The restaurant is basically divided into more regular teishoku offerings, teopan yaki or sushi bar dinibg. Three hours of validation is offered to military and Kamaaina who spend a minimum amount for most of the business hours. The parking can get full so it's best to go a little off-center of prime lunch or dinner times. ”

“ The only Suntory restaurant in the U.S. delivers an authentic Japanese dining experience. The service is exceptional, reflecting the high standards you'd expect in Japan. The sashimi set was incredibly fresh, and the Wagyu A5 beef was absolutely delicious--both standout dishes. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the food and the overall experience make it worthwhile. If you're looking for a premium Japanese dining experience, Suntory is a fantastic choice. ”

“ Service here was excellent! The renovated dining area was spacious and elegant. Tried the Special Dinner Menu (Hitsumabushi Gozen $58) includes appetizer, sashimi, and Choice of Unagi or Crab and Seafood Hitsumabushi. The unagi rice with tea/dashi broth was comforting and filling. Also tried some ala carte dishes. Veggie tempura was nicely lightly battered, a tad oily. The hot soba was great. Didn't care for the macadamia nut tofu, a bit too rich for a tofu. ”

“ 11/17/18: for Honolulu Restaurant Week (11/9- 11/17/24), its shunsaizen lunch set (limit to 18/day) was for only $40 (instead of it's usual $46). Everything was so delicious and fresh. Great price for the variety, quality and thoughtfulness in the menu. It's been a while, but I just had to get the fresh pineapple sour (thanks to my bf for doing all the juicing.) He really enjoyed the cocktails he had. We used to get their shunsaizen lunch set every month, but they gradually kept increasing the price so we don't go as often, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to get it at this discounted price. Service is always really friendly (the servers tend to remember us). Tip: free parking up to 3 hours with special validation for kamaaina and military, just have to show your appropriate ID and @royalhwnctr receipt(s) ($10 total minimum) at Helumoa Hale Guest Services on the bottom floor. ”

“ This place is amazing! The rare occasions when I am in Waikiki and walked by here and think oh this place boujie looking. My friend and I always take a year into planning before we see each other. haha! Life and adult friendships. Our days aligned and I suggested we go here so made a reservation which was easy. The one thing this place did that I found odd was the reservation on app asked about allergies then they CALL prior to reservation to make sure you and your party have no allergies then they ask you again prior to ordering. They have to be sure. I guess for people who do have severe allergies it is a plus they triple check.... We came here for lunch and they have some seasonal lunch specials. They have teppanyaki or Washoku style seatings. We opt for Washoku. We ordered a refreshing drink, I had the Spring/Sakura highball and my friend had winter/yuzu. Mine was hoooweee strong whiskey with a hint of shiso, hers was more creamy sweet. I ordered tempura and sashimi lunch set which was good and the sashimi was fresh. My friend got one of their special sets, SHUNSAI-ZEN set. It had like 7 small dishes and looked so good! It looked like a good deal. For you Amex card peeps, they are part of Resy. Service was wonderful here and will definitely be back! ”

“ We decided to celebrate our 30 year anniversary lunch here. Only one server in our seating area and he was fairly new. I asked about the specials and he said he prefers meat so he would order one of the other beef dishes. Good thing because my partner prefers meat too. I ordered the Shunsai-Zen lunch special. I enjoyed the sushi. Some of the items were a bit plain but it was fresh. I liked all the different dishes. I tasted the beef sirloin and it wasn't a super good piece of meat. It was okay, a bit thin and a lunch item. Room was nice, wooden walls, chairs, bench seats, and air conditioned. There were at least 12 other diners in our section. They had another section too. I would come back. It was relaxing and I liked the ambiance. I would like to try the other items on the menu too. ”

“ When looking for a nice lunch spot to celebrate a special occasion, Suntory is one of my go-tos. The lunch specials are great, even if they condensed their menu from what it was previously. There's a good variety for people from Tempura, udon, soba, sashimi and tepanyakki (just know it's a different seating area and reservation area notation) We came here to celebrate my coworkers birthday and the birthday ice cream was so cute, thank you for the little special touch! I tried the daily special that was salmon, ikura, and uni donburi. Originally I was nervous it wasn't going to be enough food, but it ended up being just the right amount with the miso soup, radish and salad. You could tell everything was high quality and fresh from the shine off the food and the fresh smell. So Ono!! You'll see me back here again to celebrate a special occasion for lunch. ”
