Not having other plans, we went back to the hotel and killed some time before heading out for a late night snack and drink. Didn’t I already tell you my entire vacation revolves around food? Haha.

Jason and I still had our mopeds, so we rode around Waikiki and headed to a popular mall, Ala Moana. Unfortunately, it was already closed by the time we got there.

Shokudo Japanese restaurant, at the Ala Moana, was recommended by another friend and seemed like a perfect place for small bites and drinks.

Their menu was huge! It took over the entire table.

Still full from the Loco Moco, we ordered just a few items.

To start, a strawberry flavored slushy-like vodka drink.

Ahi tataki with garlic chips. It was a little disappointing considering the fish didn’t look or taste fresh. I’m in Hawaii right?! Aren’t they supposed to have fresh fish? Second time I’ve been duped with fish dishes.
Ramen noodles with a spicy (and oily) miso paste broth topped with pork and Chinese chives. I’ve had WAY better ramen before.

And lastly, high on every Yelp review, honey toast. Thick Japanese white toast that was cutout, cubed and bathed in butter. To up the calories, it was also drizzled with honey and topped with two scoops of vanilla ice cream. It was so freaking thick and dense! Delicious for the first several bites, nevertheless.
The restaurant is hip with clever design. I loved how the interior was decorated with very basic materials (s-hooks and small wooden slabs strung together to create a barrier).
Overall, Shokudo is great for drinks, but not for food.
