Honolulu Eating: Lanai is the latest to open at Ala Moana Shopping Center

This new one is at Ala Moana Shopping Center behind what used to be Shirokiya (old).

If you are into Japanese food, you may want to try this.

I know you are keen to find out how expensive it is. Here is pic to show that.



Here is a video I took today.

Recently paid a visit at lunch time. It was too crowded. The line for SOBOYA was long. Managed to eat after waiting patiently for 25 minutes. Food is fairly good but did not taste completely Japanese. Perhaps the dishes were served in disposable wear that makes it taste different. You need to drink water and they do no have Ocha.

Anyway the wait was long and the food not too attractive to visit often. Of course, it is not cheap either.
