Simplicity and longevity at their finest are offered at Sekiya’s Restaurant & Delicatessen. For 80 years now, the establishment has withstood the test of time, and has proven itself to be an island-wide favorite among locals and tourists alike.

The tastiest of Japanese fare can be found here, with something for customers of all ages. “We’re a family-style restaurant,” says general manager Fay Hara. And patrons of all ages can happily take part in its long-adored specialties.

A few include saimin, marinated fried chicken, oxtail soup, among other comfort-food delights. Starting tomorrow, the Kaimuki eatery will feature a happy hour menu available Monday through Thursday, from 2 to 4 p.m.

After 3 p.m., while supplies last, customers also can snag a bite or two from Sekiya’s discount bentos ($3.99 each) sold at its okazuya counter. A few features include Hash Tempura, chicken and barbecue meats.
