Where locals party. Like an OG speakeasy, Natsunoya does it plain sight in the hills of Honolulu. All your local favorites tweaked to a higher standard in a local-style celebration house. They've been doing it for awhile and they continue to do so. Valet parking, BYOB, kimono-clad hostesses and various sized party rooms.
We held our Lee Ohana Reunion today @Natsunoya 114 guests. Excellent service, delicious food great venue. Best value for the $$
We had a rehearsal dinner at the Tea House and it was perfect for our party. The food came out and all 35 guests were having an enjoyable meal. The services were great and flexible with us on arranging the room for wines and beer. The Tea House does not provide alochol, so you can bring your own drinks. They do provide fruit punch, tea and coffee I believe. I would recommend this place for gathering to celebrate a special occasion. Parking could be challenging in this area, but there is valet parking.
We are so happy we were able to host our Rehearsal Dinner at Natsunoya Tea House. They recently had a fire and were under construction for the last few months, and luckily the construction was completed before our reservation. We are so grateful to all the staff for the great communication and for accommodating us. This was my first time eating here and I was very impressed. It is located in a residential neighborhood so the parking is a little limited- you can park in the lot, find street parking, or valet park. The views from the restaurant are also incredible! Traditional Japanese style restaurant where you take off your shoes before eating. We booked the Garden Room and hosted 24 adults + 1 kid. We did the buffet style Menu B option and the food was amazing! Buffet style was nice so everyone can try all the food options or get plenty to eat. Most people went back for seconds and there were plenty of leftovers. Our favorite dishes were the Teriyaki Steak, Steamed Fish (so good), spicy Nasubi (eggplant was so flavorful!), and the Salmon tofu salad (with wasabi dressing- yum)! The fried chicken was a little dry/overcooked for me. We also appreciated that we could byob (no corkage fee) and bring our own pupus/desserts. We had some chocolate haupia pies for dessert that they refrigerated for us. They also gave us an ice bucket to chill the drinks we brought. Since we were visiting from the Bay Area the ease and convenience of not having to bring all the different items to host a dinner was a huge help. Thank you Natsunoya for the amazing service and delicious food! For the price, service, food, and ambiance I would give a 10/10 and would recommend!
We hosted my daughter's 1st birthday party here and all the guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. That's definitely the highlight when hosting a party here. Prices are still reasonable for lunch and the service is great! The set up/breakup time is a bit short, but they try to work with you as best as possible. Loved the bottom stage room as it was easily accessible for our guests and just the right size for our party, which had about 125 guests. I've also had events in the back cottage, which is perfect for smaller groups and has its own bathroom so you can stay in the back cottage the entire time! Note, valet parking only. Definitely would host another party at Natsunoya again!
Really yummy bentos! We love ordering bentos from here but they are quite pricey. For the bentos you have to order at least 10 of the same bento. The tempura is so good and crispy. Usually when you get tempura in a bento it gets soggy and soft but I like how theirs stay crispy. You get a lot of variety in this bento and it's good quality just a little on the pricier side.
Within Natsunoya tea house is a wonder sushi bar that seats 16, so reservations are almost a must for popular times. They currently are open at 4pm- 9pm Wednesday thru Saturday. With ample free on site parking for sushi bar, or Valet parking ($8) for the Tea House events. What an amazing selection of sushi chosen by Chef Sho-San. Today, my experience of (Omakase) sushi ($60) included 16 pcs of sushi with such amazing textures and flavors. Thank you for a wonderful experience. If you have the opportunity to visit, Natsunoya teahouse's sushi bar this is a must do. Please be aware they are closed on Sundays and Mondays. Casual attire ok.
5 star review on Natsunoya Tea House . I host my family Christmas Party here this past Sunday and it was a hit. First of all I wanted to say the service here was excellent if you're planning a banquet party here . Once I got there to set up I had a lots of gifts and coolers, boxes to bring upstairs. The staff helped carry all my things for me which was awesome. The food was excellent I ordered the Buffett banquet menu and there was a lot of food and very delicious. The view is amazing you have a Birds Eye view of Sand island towards the airport area. The room I rented is upstairs and it could probably hold about 30-50 guest . If your planning any party I highly recommend this place but you need book at least 1 year in advance because there very busy Thanks Natsunoya for your great customer service. Support local
Excellent service and good food. Thanks to Craig T. for having the family Christmas Party at Natsunoya Tea House. Upon arrival, we valeted our car. They were patient while I unloaded our gifts. Pulled the wagon full of presents through the front door. We were cordially greeted and asked if I wanted assistance with the gifts to the second floor banquet room. Wow, great service. Highly recommend this venue for parties or other get togethers. Enjoy.
This place never disappoints! In this review, I was actually holding and hosting the party, so not just a guest. The staff was easy to work with and very helpful. They made me feel welcomed and my guests all had a great time. All the food is amazing and delicious!! There is no corkage fee and this is a BYOB. I brought in a cooler and they also accommodated us with wine buckets. I brought my own ice for the cooler. Our party was in the Ichigo room. It's easy to access on the 2nd floor. This room has the Diamond Head view and accommodates 10 people. There are 2 tables and they provide white table cloths. I brought my own table covers for the water/drink station and the gift table. Love this place! Will definitely hold more events here.
