How it compares in Honolulu
Tanaka of Tokyo Central is the convenience-led choice in this set: central Waikiki location, easy dinner fit, a room better suited to a social night than a quiet culinary deep dive. Restaurant SUNTORY is the stronger cross-shop for diners who want a more established Japanese restaurant feel, while Tsurutontan Waikiki is the cleaner pick when the craving is specifically udon.
Tempura Kiki and Shichimusubi look more focused by format, so they make sense for diners who would rather choose around a specific Japanese specialty than a broad night-out setting. Tanaka of Tokyo Central is easier to justify for mixed groups and visitors who want the plan to stay inside Waikiki.
Waikiki is less useful as a direct food-format comparison, but it reinforces the main decision point: location matters here. If staying in the resort corridor, Tanaka of Tokyo Central keeps the evening simple; if food focus matters more than convenience, start with Restaurant SUNTORY, Tempura Kiki, Shichimusubi, or Tsurutontan Waikiki instead.
