Maguro-ya is a Japanese restaurant that offers high-quality fish and authentic Japanese food, known as one of Hawaii's best sushi spots. The sashimi and tempura teishioku are hearty, good, and filling, with crispy tempura cooked to perfection. The unagi pressed sushi is a must-try, featuring cooked and crispy unagi complemented by flavorful unagi sauce. The restaurant has a nostalgic and cozy atmosphere, with counter seating and tables. The owner handles the prep at the sushi counter, and while the wait staff are very friendly and helpful, service can be slow at times, especially if ordering raw fish. Maguro-ya is an excellent place for friends and family, offering a sushi bar, dining tables, family-style meals, and teishoku sets. The omakase sushi at the bar is highly recommended, as the chef uses Japanese-trained techniques to serve delicious food that will not disappoint. Many guests have enjoyed the extensive menu, including the triple combo teishoku set, which features sashimi, tempura, and a main dish choice like unagi or butterfish. The food is consistently praised for being really good, and the ambience feels nice, making it a great dining experience. There is also plenty of parking available in the paid lot shared with other businesses.
