Noboru Japanese Restaurant, Kailua
After going to watch a concert on the Windward side a while back, we went with my mom for a drive around Kailua looking for a restaurant that was still open for a late lunch. Craving Japanese food we decided on Noboru near Down to Earth in Kailua.
Since it was after the time that most folks eat lunch, we started off having the restaurant all to ourselves.
The two of us both got the Special Lunch Bento and my mom had the Grilled Salmon Teishoku.
Today’s Special Lunch Bento was sashimi, tempura (we asked for all vegetable tempura), and grilled salmon.
The portion size was a little small for the price, but everything was very tasty!
My mom ordered the Grilled Salmon Teishoku which I thought was odd since for $1.00 more you could get our Special Lunch Bento that had the grilled salmon PLUS sashimi and tempura. But it turns out she made a great choice!
After tasting her salmon, it was clearly a better cut and quality. Much more fatty and moist! Still to this day she says this is the best grilled salmon she has ever had!

Everything looks great Lori, and while I do appreciate the food pics (always!), I couldn’t help but feel a little remorseful after seeing the menu. Miss seeing that *special* section on island menus – especially the part where it reads “served w/salad, rice and miso soup”. Something to look forward to when I return.
Hey rowena,
Definitely something you must have when you come back for your next visit! Do you have another trip scheduled soon?
Oh yes, we must have our salad, rice, and miso soup!
Oh, the “best tasting memories” are so good. We always laugh and say something was the “best ever.”
By the way, we exited to go to Jade, but changed our mind and turned on Lumiaina to go to Kunio. It all worked out since I finally tried Kunio’s and had my noodles for dinner! We really liked Kunio’s butterfish. We ordered the miso butterfish… maybe next time we’ll get the shoyu butterfish.
Hey Kristy,
Glad you got to try Kunio and get your cake noodles for dinner before you left! And the shoyu butterfish at Kunio is also really good!
Unfortunately, not before 2011
unless I win the big jackpot or something.
