How have I missed this place? In fact, how have I missed that there is some kind of Japanese/noodle nexus on Baldwin Street? No matter - I guess it's a nice problem to have; too many wonderful choices within that block.
This one definitely is high on my favourite list now. Konnichiwa is unpretentious, friendly and delivers on its promise of Japanese comfort food. My experience of their teriyaki is now going to make it impossible for me to enjoy it anywhere else - seriously, the most flavourful one I've ever had. Sushi and sashimi are fresh and wonderful. And it seems it is possible to do all this without a lot of over the top restaurant theatre. That said, if you're in the mood for some over the top restaurant theatre, there are lots of other decent places to go. If you're just looking for some Japanese yummy, I highly recommend this place. And you get all of that without emptying your wallet.
