I had a bunch of Lychee lilikoi martinis and they were amazing. The staff was friendly and made good recommendations for food.

I have been going here for the last six years and I love this place, the last two times I’ve went have been terrible. The first time we were seated at a table with a group of four. The rest of the restaurant was empty and after 15 minutes we had to get up and ask someone to come to our table while the service staff sat at the bar talking. The second time we came back it was two of us so we sat at the bar. The bartenders gave terrible service and hurried us to our check before their event staff took over. After being served our meal we had to ask the bus boy to ask the bartender to get us beers because the three bartenders were in the corner talking after we attempted to wave them down multiple times. The manger asked how our service was and after we told him we were not satisfied the bartenders became short and rude with us until we closed out our tab again. Which we had to void and reopen because they charged us for our dinner that we already closed our tab to.

Absolutely fabulous! Everything we had was fresh, clean and bright tasting. It was a busy night before a show but the staff, while hurried were very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Had such a great experience at Doraku Kaka’ako! We were seated quickly and the service was just as fast. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive the entire time.
They made sure we had enough space for my daughter’s stroller, which I really appreciated. The food came out super fast, and everything ran so smoothly. I also loved the music playlist, it really added to the vibe. They even went out of their way to hold the door open for me as I was leaving with the stroller, such a thoughtful touch.
Overall, amazing service and a very welcoming experience. Definitely coming back!
I love the garlic hamachi roll and otoro nigiri here and they have non-alcoholic beer as well!

Had an incredible experience at Doraku Sushi Kaka’ako celebrating my twins’ 21st birthday—and they absolutely crushed it.
Austin (server), Chef on duty, and Micah (manager) made the entire night feel personal and seamless. We came in on a Monday night, and they couldn’t have been more accommodating with a larger group and a special occasion.
The real standout—Chef went off-script and created custom rolls not even on the menu just to wow us… and he delivered. Every plate hit, presentation was on point, and you could tell there was pride behind it.
Service was sharp, energy was right, and they made a milestone night feel like something bigger than just dinner.
That’s how you do it. We’ll be back. 🔥🍣

Great sushi, I honestly didn't think I'd like it. Not a fan of sushi but I loved it here. Maybe the freshness of the fish? Highly recommend this place to eat on your vacation.
