IDETA JAPANESE RESTAURANT

IDETA JAPANESE RESTAURANT

HONOLULU, HAWAII 

Enjoyed a nice lunch at Ideta Japanese Restaurant on Dillingham Blvd.  While Ideta's serves sushi, noodle dishes and Japanese favorites ala carte, we usually go for the Set Lunch Menu.  At $18-$20 it is a bit expensive for lunch, but the portions are big and this meal fills you up for the day.  I went for the Tempura and Teriyaki Mahi Mahi Lunch while my friends went for the Tempura, Butterfish and Sushi Lunch.  I liked the warm Miso Soup on a chilly rainy Hawaii day.  The Tempura is pretty heavily  battered so I pulled most of the fried batter off and ate just the shrimp, fish, carrot and sweet potato.  Served with a nice not too sweet dipping sauce.  Loved the Teriyaki Mahi Mahi.  The fish was moist and flavorful.  Ideta serves a really good Thousand Island type dressing with the salad that comes with the meal.  The service here is always good.  The food comes out quickly so you can get in and out on a timely basis for lunch.  Ideta is a typical old school Japanese restaurant that is a favorite with the locals.  Seem to always see someone I know here.
