I visited Koko i-naba a little while ago during a trip to Hawaii, and I’m still thinking about how comforting the food was. Coming from California, I’m lucky to have access to a lot of good Japanese restaurants, but this place had such a calm, authentic, neighborhood feel.
The soba was light and refreshing, and the sushi tasted fresh and carefully prepared. I also loved that you can enjoy both soba and sushi together without the restaurant feeling overly formal...read full review
Everything was so wonderful, excellent service!!
This is a hidden Gem ! I have been to many good sushi places in Japan and this is the same quality ! The ONLY place in the US that match that quality so far.

Located in Koko Marina, Koko I-naba is a hidden gem offering excellent service and delicious food at reasonable prices. The sushi, udon, and soba noodles are highly recommended, with standout dishes like the chirashi bowl and tempura udon showcasing fresh and carefully handled fish. The restaurant features a cozy and intimate atmosphere with only a few tables, perfect for a peaceful meal. Guests appreciate the omakase experience, though they should be prepared for a longer dining time. The fresh water and green tea, along with the chef's skillful food preparation, enhance the delightful dining experience. While finding the restaurant may be tricky, those who do are rewarded with fresh and tasty food. The service is excellent, with a pleasant and welcoming staff. Though the lack of interaction with the chef may feel a bit awkward, the amazing flavors of the dishes make for a memorable meal. The soba noodles are particularly praised for their lovely soft texture, a change from the thicker, chewier varieties found elsewhere. Overall, Koko I-naba promises a cozy and exceptional dining experience that keeps customers coming back.
