You can choose from vegetable, meat or seafood kushikatsu. They cost $2.80 to $6 each, depending on what you order.

Options include asparagus, shiitake mushroom, lotus root, pork tenderloin, chicken, beef tenderloin, Kurobuta pork loin, oyster, shrimp and more. So far, the Kurobuta pork loin ($4.80) and beef tenderloin ($5) have been customer favorites.

We personally loved the shrimp katsu ($5) and shiitake mushroom katsu ($2.80).

You can also get an assorted kushi katsu set ($15).

The late-night menu also includes popular appetizers like ponzu steak with grated daikon, garlic shrimp, mochiko fried chicken, spicy cucumber and tofu, seared beef tataki and tofu poke.

The mini katsu don and mini katsu curry ($10) are also good deals. The mini katsu curry is a customer favorite.

Customers can also take advantage of $3 drink specials — $3 beers, sake, sho-chu, wines by the glass and sparkling wine.

Validated customer parking is available in the Bank of Hawaiʻi Waikīkī Center lot.
