13 Best Sushi Bars in Hilo

“Came here on a Thursday at 9:50 AM. They had lots of selections, though there were no sashimi platter or chirashi bowl type of items. Lots of maki, inari, and bento boxes. You can also order poke bowl (shoyu tuna or spicy tuna).

I ordered poke inari set (2 shoyu 1 spicy). The rice was perfectly cooked. Tofu skin was very flavorful. Though I wasn't able to taste the shoyu poke much, because the inari sauce was overpowering.

Overall, the quality of food was good. Price is reasonable. Good grab and go before your adventure day.“

“Visited March 6, 2025 and we enjoyed two bowls. My friend commented how heavy the bowls are - they are stuffed to the brim with deliciousness!! Plenty to choose from including shrimp tempura that was incredible!! All ingredients fresh, the flavors throughout were excellent.“

“Brown rice sushi Intricate sauces Fresh“

“Breakfast/lunch spot. Kawamoto was closed so we found this place nearby. I'm glad that we discovered this place as well. Since it was our first time, I asked the server to pick whatever for us and she took her time and listed each item and explained what it was. We went later in the day so it wasn't as fresh but still very delicious.“

“Enjoyed my meal and service that I've already gone back. Friendly staff, seated right away. Food came quickly and I loved it. Especially the asparagus soup! Price was a nice surprise. Good choice if you're on the fence since there are so many restaurants to choose from.“

“This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The staff was so nice. they recommended me squid to try which i never had before, but it was awesome. Atmosphere is so nice because you get to go out and joy the fresh air. If you are in Hilo, I recommend stopping here.“

“Great food. Iconic establishment. Pre-order the nori chicken. That wooden case is going into a museum one day, but hopefully not anytime soon! #supportlocal“

“Wow! The Miso soup with Snow Crab, Hot and Savory. Then, Appetizers Scallops, Beef Tataki, and Ankimo, Nicely Presented and Delicious. And the Main Course Chef Mitsuru's Special Omakase. Wow! Excellent! If you can get reservations it's worth it.🙂🤙“

“Okonomiyaki and sashimi omakase and miso salmon are my favs! Miso ramen is yummy.“

“Had lunch here 2/3 days that we were in Hilo, everything was amazing. The Misoyaki Butterfish Salad was fresh and extremely flavorful without being heavy, and the fish melts like butter in your mouth. We also had a cold water scallop special, an eggplant /marinara/pesto/ricotta appetizer (forgot what it's called, oops!) and crab cakes. Everything was great, honestly one of the best places I've eaten at on the entire island. I like to sit at the bar, as I'm a former long time bartender. Sascha is one of the best around, cocktails were, again, among the best that I found on the island, including Kona. Service was top notch, no matter how busy he got, and he took extra time to modify one of the house cocktails so that an elderly gal with sensitive teeth sitting nearby could enjoy it. I would honestly make the drive from Waikoloa just for this, but Hilo has plenty of outdoor activities to offer as well.“

“First time. Seafood platter was good. Bbq beef was tasty and tender. I enjoyed the breaded mahi and shrimp (like my moms). My wife’s korean chicken was generous and she enjoyed the mac salad. Very fair prices especially in a mall setting. Mahalo!“

“One of the best places in Hilo to dine. Loved coming here in my childhood and I intend to keep going.“

“Food comes out on a little service train. We had a larger party and split between 2 tables. Prices were reasonable. Plates are small with reasonable portions. Food was tasty and well done. Other options are available aside from sushi such as eggs, chicken and beef. There was a selection of things unavailable when we went but it could've been timing for us. Service was kind. Restrooms were clean.“
