Four New Restaurants to Watch

A shorter hit list for deciding where to try next.

1Katsu Zen

Katsu Zen

★4.5 ·Japanese, Katsu ·$$ ·Ala Moana

A solo-diner katsu counter on Sheridan built the way they do it in Japan — you sit, you order a set, it comes out fried to order and impossibly light. Pork loin set is the one to judge it by. Small room, quick turnover, and easy to eat alone without feeling weird about it. Get the Pork Loin Tonkatsu Set. Ono tip: Check the latest menu and hours before making a special trip.

2Enkari

Enkari

★4.6(9) ·Chinese, BBQ ·$$ ·Kapahulu

Northeast Chinese skewers on Kapahulu, open until midnight and built for ordering in rounds. Get a spread of the beef and pork belly skewers and the grilled cold noodles, which is the dish you will not find anywhere else in town. Brand new, so the menu is still moving — closed Wednesdays. Get the Spicy Beef Skewer. Ono tip: Check the latest menu and hours before making a special trip.

3Marujyu Hawaii

Marujyu Hawaii

★4.6(226) ·Japanese ·$$ ·Kaimukī

Marujuu is now a Japanese hamburg-and-steak specialist, hand-kneading each patty and serving it sizzling with house-made sauces rather than running a broad izakaya menu. Try the Ponzu Daikon Hamburg Steak. Ono tip: Check the latest menu and hours before making a special trip.
