Izakaya Naru Honolulu

★4.4(391) ·Japanese, Okinawan ·$$ ·Mōʻiliʻili

A tiny Okinawan izakaya off S King that runs to 2am and puts out dishes you will not find anywhere else on this island. Hot stone taco rice is the one everyone orders; the sparerib soba is the one that makes it Okinawan. Go late, sit at the counter, order in rounds. Closed Wednesdays. Get the Okinawan Sparerib Soba.
