Worth every penny! Best sushi I've had in a long time. Be ready to some money, but the presentation and the flavors are out of this world.

The sushi was superb. Enjoyed the explanation of each dish as we progressed through the omakase.

Amazing sushi. It is very pricey but you are getting the best sushi of your life in almost every serving!

Incredible omakase sushi by top chefs in Honolulu. Our go-to restaurant for the top sushi restaurant in town.

This is an institution that considers food as art. AMAZING value for Omakase. Cannot recommend enough.

Wonderful experience and very accommodating staff that made it very easy to stop when certain members of the party got full. Would highly recommend!

For over two decades, Sushi Sasabune has distinguished itself in Honolulu's culinary scene, offering a consistently exceptional and uniquely Hawaiian take on the omakase experience. Unlike more traditional Edomae style found elsewhere, Sushi Sasabune masterfully incorporates local fish and produce, showcasing original preparations that set it apart. Having dinned at most Honolulu's top omakase offerings, I consistently return to Sasabune, drawn by their innovative dishes, unwavering quality, and dedication to local ingredients. This distinct approach, while a departure from the traditional, is what makes Sasabune a standout. Contrary to some misconceptions, the itemized bill is standard practice, ensuring transparency and allowing for adjustments based on individual preferences. This is common across many sushi omakase establishments. While the meal is pricey, it delivers substantial value and I doubt you'll be leaving hungry. In the spectrum of sushi omakase pricing, Sushi Sasabune occupies a comfortable middle ground, offering a worthwhile experience for the price. The pacing of the meal is notably efficient, with dishes served promptly after each preceding course. No excessive waiting in my experience, which I appreciate. I believe sushi should be a relatively quick meal and I would prefer not sit at a sushi counter for two hours wondering when it will finally be over. The attentive, friendly, and courteous service further enhances the overall enjoyment. These are the things that keep me coming back year after year.

I have been before with friends and I didn't know they charge per piece. I have been to NYC omakase and they have a set price for pieces.
Omakase is excellent Worth the experience and a visit every time you are here on Ohau

I have been to sushi restaurants all over. Mostly, the restaurants i have been to, people rave about the food and I usually feel mediocre at best. HOWEVER, this was hands-down, the best sushi experience i have ever had! There is no menu for food (that is saw) and dish after amazing dish kept on arriving at the table. All so different and all so amazing with fantastic flavors melting around my palate. A couple of us had to tap-out near the end, but worth every single bite. With drinks and food, we were just over $200 per person and well-worth it! This unassuming restaurant is a hidden gem! If you are in Ohau, you must make the time to experience this!

Pretty good sushi, similar to another review the omakase menu isn’t clear. It’s not a set price but the chef chooses what sushi and dishes to serve and then you are charged individually for each. It’s a la carte omakase style. Wouldn’t go back or recommend the spot but nor would I stop someone from going. The decor is quite tired.

The chef/owner had really terrible attitude. His attitude makes the already unsavory food even worse. It doesn't match the price at all. Fishies are not fresh. There are many more delicious sushi restaurants in Hawaii in the same price range, and there are many more considerate shefs. It is a waste of money and time.
