Located inside the Central Pacific Bank Plaza, Currents Downtown is a quality sushi spot hidden in a casual setting. The quality and taste are not casual, with excellent sushi that rivals Seattle and Japan. The eel, smoked tobiko, and spicy ahi were the best, with melt-in-your-mouth fish and sticky rice. The red tuna was good, along with the ika (squid), negitoro (minced tuna), fatty white fish, hamachi, crab meat, salmon, and shrimp. The carpaccio with truffle ponzu was excellent, and the nigiri bento was beautiful to look at and delectable to eat. Everything tasted great, with fresh and delicious flavors. Prices are not cheap but not ridiculous, with a $24 chirashi bento and other affordable options. The rice was yummy with good seasoning and al dente texture. Order at the Aloha Beer counter, and there is plenty of indoor and nice outdoor seating. The card machine takes tap payment. This place is perfect for those who do not care about a dining experience. It is also a great catering option, with a $36 Hosomaki platter that was a party hit, featuring takuan, ahi, and salmon hosomaki. Worth a detour if downtown.
