Artizen by MW

Delicious food. Ate the spicy fried chicken sandwich. The chicken was delicious with just the right amount of kick. I will definitely be back to try the other lunch items.

11/2/2022: Food was delicious. The two of us ordered the Cesar salad, tonkatsu, and Shepherd's Pie (daily special). The pipikaula poke was yummy! Tonkatsu beautifully fried. The Shepherd's pie was very filling, nice fluffy layer of potatoes. Disappointment: Even though we dined in, our meal was delivered in plastic to go containers. When we were done there was no trash sorting receptacles so everything went into the trash...plastic, compostable cutlery, and glass. Very disappointed.

I have always been a huge fan of MW Restaurant so when a friend suggested dining at the Artizen by MW for brunch I was really looking forward to it. We came to their new location at 888 Kapiolani Blvd today and arrived a little after they opened at 10am since they do not take reservations. First of all, I was shocked how disorganized and clueless the staff members were. The person taking our order was nice but after we looked at the menu and mentioned what we were thinking about ordering, she said that they were out of that menu item (mochi crusted fish). Then we wanted to order the Tofu and chicken menchi katsu...to which she replied that they had no rice cooked due to a power trip and said that she could replace the rice with a salad. She also gave us the menu change option (misoyaki butterfish), then stated again that there was no rice. When I added the frozen MW chili to my order she walked alway saying that she had to check because of menu changes. I was like...it's frozen,
