Probably the best nigiri I had in Honolulu. Excellent service and ambience as well.
Super fresh sashimi and great food that you would expect from an authentic Japanese izakaya.
Celebrated our engagement here... been here a few times since living here and even after leaving and the vibes and food here are always excellent! We sat at the sushi bar this time which I think made the experience more fun since it basically felt like an omakase style meal despite us also ordering a la carte. We're more into the casual but excellent fish quality vibe anyway... thanks jeff and to the staff for being welcoming!

Sushi Izakaya Gaku offers an authentic Japanese culinary experience with expertly prepared dishes. The toro is a standout, cut thick and melting in the mouth, while the uni is described as divine. The negi toro roll is highly praised, and the miso butter fish is a must-try. The traditional ambiance provides a beautiful setting, perfect for a date night or special occasion.
The restaurant is known for its fresh and delicious seafood. Guests can enjoy an extensive sake list, as well as a homemade highball. The omakase, or chef's choice menu, is a popular option, featuring a variety of silky, buttery, and melting-in-your-mouth nigiri. The matcha ice cream and custard desserts are also highly recommended.
Reservations are strongly recommended, as the restaurant is often busy, especially during peak hours. The attentive staff and masterful preparation of sashimi, soups, and sushi create a memorable dining experience. Sushi Izakaya Gaku is a high-tier izakaya, where the food can rival or surpass the best seafood experiences, with fresh, tasty, and perfectly prepared dishes.
