Known to be one of the "gems" of Waikiki, Odoriko is one of the area's longest established Japanese restaurants; a popular destination since 1972. Its chefs pride themselves of bringing you the very best cuts of ocean-fresh fish: From tender, melt-in-your-mouth sushi and sashimi to broiled Maine lobster, grilled garlic shrimp and misoyaki butterfish. Odoriko's wide menu selection also includes hot pot entrees -- shabu shabu, sukiyaki, chanko nabe or seafood nabe --, chicken karaage, tempura, homemade tofu and delicious noodle dishes. The modern lights and relaxing setting at Odoriko will be just the ticket to get the night started with some of the best hot or cold sake.

Odoriko, located in the the Kings Village behind the Hyatt Hotel, is away from the bustle of the usual Waikiki traffic. It offers outdoor dining, validated parking and space for private parties of up to 100. Come visit the premier Japanese restaurant in Waikiki soon!

"Odoriko, has a very pleasing atmosphere that can be romantic as well as festive. the food is good nothing great but well worth the pricing. Their beer and sake selection is fair and can accommodate all. our server was very friendly and appreciated the fact that we were "locals" and regarded us as possible return customers, rather than their normal one shot tourists customers."

"The restaurant had amazing sushi and very quick service.
The hot pots looked really good, so we'll be back to try them some other night."

"Nice local spot for sushi & shabu shabu. Not trendy...Japanese style decor. Food as great. Our kids (8yrs & 10yrs) enjoyed the food & the experience of shabu shabu. I would recommend this restaurant."

"I had seen several reviews of the restaurant good and bad but the food reviews were the draw for me. We showed up there with an open mind and could see how things could get out of control there pretty easily. Our visit there was quite romantic and wonderful. Our server Mike, a nice young man, was helpful and his suggestions were right on for our palette. The food was excellent and we would recommend the home made tofu for sure."

"A group of us came to dine here. There is a special menu that you have to ask for which includes larger sashimi offerrings. We ordered a large boat which came with a lot of raw sashimi that we are not used to including raw shrimp and raw lobster as well as raw oysters with raw quail eggs. Overall, the fish was very fresh but was maybe not what we were used to (raw lobster was not as good as cooked in my opinion). A few others ordered hot items which were good including cooked fish and cooked meats. Rolls were ok, was not blown away by any of the selection and was pricey. Overall, was solid 3 stars. Servers were attentive."

"Our service was slow despite the restaurant seeming to be nearly empty when we went for lunch (there were 3 or 4 other tables seated). The food arrived fast after we finally ordered, but otherwise we were kept waiting after we got our menus and after we finished our meal. The inside is dark and the chairs are black metal so they're hard to see; I banged my elbow and the waitress accidentally spilled sauce on my companion when she hit one. Also, because there are wide doors open to the road and there is a large hotel across the street, the noise of delivery trucks, tour buses and other big vehicles was prominent. We still could hear our conversation for the most part, but you might want to skip this place if you're looking for a quiet time."
