Having lived in Tokyo for almost 7 years, I can appreciate this concept called "Yatai-mura." Yatai mura are a cluster o food stands normally set up outside during festivals. The upstairs of Shirokiya inside of the Ala Moana Shopping Center has turned into an indoor version of such. From 5:30PM, their happy hours starts and that means $1 pints or... More

Tasty, fast and the people are polite. This is a large department store in the Ala Moana Shopping center - close to the Ala Moana Hotel. Pretty cool stuff. More

Top floor of a Japanese department store. Expansive food court. My wife had a bento box, which she loved. I had ramen; the noodles were very good, but the broth was only warm. Nice place to get out of the Ala Moana crowds. More

For a fun and inexpensive food experience while in Hawaii, visit the second floor of the Shirokiya Department store at Ala Moana mall (beside Macy's). This Japanese Department store has a wonderful all Japanese food fare, where you can find many choices of Japanese food, and a beer garden that serves 1,2, and 3$ beers! Our favourite spot is the...

This store has been upgraded in the last few years to include a food court of your dreams. Everything from soups, to sushi, bento, desserts and all reasonably priced. More

Every time we go to Shirokiya we feel like we are transported to Japan or something. As soon as you step inside it just doesn't feel like the rest of the stores in Ala Moana, in a good way. We mainly go for the food. It's fun to wander around the food court area and see all the food being... More

Some genius finally figured out how to bring Shirokiya back from the grave. After a long struggle with subpar vendors running Shirokiya into the ground the concept of a permanent food fair adds a fresh makeover to the food bazaar feel that made the store popular in the first place. Add to that a large sitdown area and killer beer... More

An array of individual restaurants; sushi, curry, tempura, udon, bentos, cafeteria style, karaage chicken all under one roof. It is serve oneself, not fancy. Nevertheless, everything is fresh flavorful and authentic. It's about twenty eight hours and $1500 round trip to Japan for lunch. We can enjoy Shirokiya's offerings in twenty minutes or so for well under $50. More

My wife loves the new food court. She spends most of her time in the book off reading, while I look for DVDs and video games. More
