Ala Moana, which is Hawaiian for "path to the sea," stretches from Honolulu Harbor to Waikiki. Because of its proximity to the tourist mecca of Waikiki and its world famous open-air mall known as the Ala Moana Center, this area is one of the most popular spots to shop, play and dine on the gorgeous Hawaiian Island of Oahu. Ala Moana is rich with fine eateries, no matter which style of cuisine you may be hungry for. Here are the top Japanese restaurants in Ala Moana, Hawaii.

Behind the Ala Moana Hotel you will find Akasaka, a small sushi bar that is sure to please. Akasaka boasts some truly terrific service. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the sushi chefs really know their craft. You can even rely on them to make your choices for you; no menus required, though if you want one, it's there. Akasaka is a fun place to eat, and the sushi is superb. So, give it a try for lunch or dinner. But take note, they don't serve lunch on Sundays. If you are dining with a large group, call this award-winning Japanese restaurant to make reservations. Their number is 808-942-4466. Or if you are visiting with a small group, just stop in. Their address is 1646 B Kona Street in Ala Moana. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a trendy Japanese restaurant in Ala Moana, look no further than Neo-Nabe. Just minutes from Waikiki, Neo-Nabe is located at 2065 South King Street, Suite 110, in Ala Moana. Those of you who enjoy Honolulu's sizzling nightlife are bound to enjoy Neo-Nabe, which caters to nightclubbers and those who work the late shifts. The restaurant is open from five p.m. to five a.m. Friday and Saturday, and until two a.m. Sunday through Thursday. Of course, that means they don't serve lunch. Neo-Nabe is interactive and contemporary; you choose the ingredients, and the meal is prepared right before your eyes. If you are looking for good food and fun, Neo-Nabe is your spot. Call 808-944-6622 for more information.
