Utage Restaurant & Lounge

Great Okinawan cuisine with that home style flavor. Their shoyu pork and Goya dishes remind me of my friends mom's home cooking and brings back a lot of great memories. The service was great and very attentive. Well worth the effort of driving to Kalihi to have lunch. Give them a try, you won't regret it.

Temperature check upon entry. (Plus) Spaced seating & sanitized tables after guests leave. (Plus) Now, on to the food...the chicken, eggplant & tofu in shoyu base was savory with some sweetness. (Plus) The pigs feet soup served hot with fairly clear broth was decent with radish slices and chopped veggies. (Plus) I may be a bit spoiled remembering my grandmother's soup back in the day but I will definately be back to try the rest of the Okinawan menu. Lastly, our waitress and staff were very attentive with water, coffee or iced tea refills, great recommendations and service. (Plus)

Incredible comfort food, nice ambiance, very clean in this time of Covid. For the amount of food and quality you are getting with each order, the prices are great. Good selection of Okinawan and Japanese food. My wife is big on food coming out hot and it definitely was. Some of the best shoyu pork I've had and the food just tastes fresh. Friendly, patient, and attentive service. There are also bathrooms available. Can't wait to go back and try something else!

First time grabbing some takeout at Utage. We were not disappointed at all and all were good portions. Ordered the nori wrapped ahi tempura and two Okinawan dishes: pig feet soup and shoyu pork. Pig feet soup is my favorite Okinawan dish and I was extremely satisfied! Shoyu pork was just perfect! Would love to try other food next time!
