Hakkei's Superb Japanese Homestyle Cooking

Three years ago, when I wrote a Honolulu feature, Hakkei was new on the scene. A recent visit during Sunday lunch confirms that this Japanese homestyle restaurant is still excellent. Sunday lunch is okayu (Japanese rice porridge). It came with hamachi and fu miso soup and grilled tai (sea bream), plus all-you-can-eat side dishes. All this for just $15/person. I love this place because it just gets everything right!
