About the restaurant

In the heart of Waikīkī lies a reimagined Izakaya and Bar where energetic Japanese hospitality meets the eclectic and diversified cultures of Hawaii. Rooted in a sense of nostalgia from a time when things moved a little slower, Izakaya 855-ALOHA welcomes visitors and locals alike to gather, stay a little longer, and bond over a meal and drinks in a dynamic social environment. With playful interpretations of traditional small plate Izakaya fare and a buzzy cocktail program, the menu highlights the precision and techniques found in Japanese cuisine along with the local ingredients of Hawaii.

Always a great spot to come in for lunch, see the crew & enjoy some tasty grindz. Between the shrimp tacos, langostino enchiladas or the daily specials you can’t go wrong with anything on their menu. I try to frequent weekly. See you next week!

My daughter and I had a lovely time listening to live music and enjoying fresh Mexican food. Our waitress was darling. Loved the table made guacamole and my fish tacos. My daughter was drooling over the birria tacos. Lovely dinner after seeing the Auana show.
