The 38 Best Restaurants in Honolulu, Hawai‘i | Eater
"Honolulu has plenty of excellent izakayas, but Bozu stands apart for its creativity within the izakaya framework of grilled, fried, and raw small plates. You’ll find classic and new preparations side by side on the menu: impeccable sashimi alongside a raw surf and turf roll of uni, beef, shiso, and yam; a braised pork belly kakuni alongside an American-style beef stew made with tongue and topped with melted cheese. Always order off the specials menu, which might include firefly squid, barely bigger than a thumb, with mustardy miso, or fish and chips Japanese-style: fried flounder and its crispy bones. Know before you go: Bozu is small and the restaurant fills up quickly, so it’s best to call for a reservation or go right when it opens." - Martha Cheng
