Although I don’t eat raw fish, I found some delicious dishes to savor, such as grilled fish, tempura, soup, and more. My husband tried their 10-piece sushi selection and enjoyed it a lot. I particularly liked their tea, which complements the meal perfectly, and their desserts were delightful. Overall, Restaurant Suntory offers a great variety for both sushi lovers and those who prefer cooked dishes.

Iradori, the seasonal kamameshi course was delicious! Joy, our server took good care of us. Talented too, drew a cute panda bear in the froth of the beer. Wish I took more photos of the beautifully presented courses. We would love to come back with an empty stomach.

This place was recommended by a friend who frequently visits Japan. If you know real Japanese food, look no further. This is the spot. If you're curious to try Japanese cuisine that does NOT involve Californian rolls, then you're in for a treat. If you don't know what to order, try one of the chef's pick course meals. You will get a little bit of everything on the menu. The dishes are nicely presented, fresh, and delicious! And of course, the whiskeys and their own craft beer are very enjoyable.

Great location, friendly service, and good food. Yes, it is pricy but omakase is generally expensive. It was a friend's birthday lunch and the first time being here for all of us. The rice was nice and warm and good fish-to-rice portions. Flounder was my favorite, but you could skip the egg and little disappointed with sea urchin. We were in a private room and it was very nicely decorated. Simple and clean. Overall, great experience and perfect for private setting.

This was our first time eating at Suntory, we decided to try their Omakase for my birthday. It was delicious! The Chawanmushi, toro, and hairy crab were our favorites. There was nothing really adventurous about the omakase, they did have monk fish liver and cod milk, but that was the extent of what could be considered strange. Both were delicious. The cod milt was part of the chawanmushi which made the egg creamier. Overall, it was fairly standard omkase, great flavors, great ambience, the staff ans service was excellent. The price is pretty consistent with other similar omakases. Definitely worth giving it a try.

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.

While passing by the Royal Hawaiian Center, I came across Suntory, a restaurant run by well known Japanese brewing company. As expected from a typical Japanese culture, the service was very polite and friendly. The food was also very good overall. I’ll definately visit again the next time I’m in Hawaii.

Made the reservation in advance and email them to have the shun sai zen for autumn 🍁. they will call you to double check with the reservation and make sure what you like to have. Our seat is right aside the windows so we have a fantastic view of the garden and trees in the mall. I really like the view which made the atmosphere 100% chill and relaxing! We love the presentation of the food. the food is yummy with the dish comes one after one, I really like the Yuzu juice, steamed mushroom with Beef, the Squid tempura is awesome and rarely see in other places, their rice with the tempura is very tasty with the sauce mixed nicely and good texture/ quality. The service is good and only one suggestion for the tableware, the quality of chopstick can be improved or change, the current one looks cheap and the texture is a little rough, would lower the overall high quality experience.
