Absolutely a fan of Sam’s sushi.
Naomi and Yuki are always warm smiling welcoming. Amazing service and crazy delicious food! Ahi tataki and special roll all day long. I swear the ahi is caught the hour of it being served to you. Highly recommend! Reservation only! Make sure to call in.
Delicious food and great service!

Sushi Sam is a popular sushi restaurant in Kona, known for its high-quality and fresh sushi, including the recommended Avocado Bomb, special roll, and phenomenal negitoro (fatty tuna). The restaurant uses high-quality soy sauce, and the Thin Sliced Hamachi appetizer is a must-try, along with delicious nigiri, amaebi sashimi, tempura, and gyoza. The service is professional and efficient, with a friendly staff that makes guests feel welcome. The chefs, led by the owner, create honest food prepared meticulously with the best ingredients, offering a truly authentic Japanese sushi experience. Unlike American-style sushi loaded with cream cheese, Sushi Sam provides a more traditional and unique taste of Japan. The clean and cozy atmosphere features a small sushi bar where guests can watch the meals being prepared. Reservations are recommended due to its popularity, and parking is easy just outside the location. Many visitors consider it the best meal during their stay in Kona, praising the fresh flavors and friendly environment.
