I've been eating here for years one of the best if not the best sushi restaurant in Kona. Really going to miss this place when it closes.. Mahalo plenty for all the food times and memories I had here.

The food was outstanding in the service very quick. However, there was a large group party of 10 that were very noisy drinking lots of alcohol, and it was hard to carry on conversation within my table. Next time I think I will request to sit outside that's the first time that has happened to me while dating at Shionos Other occasions have been outstanding with a quiet ambience. Unfortunately, large parties do tend to get quite noisy.

We are sushi regulars and this place was recommended by a local. For us it was simply average. sorry, I wanted it to be amazing it just wasn't. Maybe we are spoiled by our local spot at home
We came to eat there after a long day of snorkeling. We were quite hungry! Miso soup was watery, we also ordered the premium chirashi bowl which was nicely presented. Rolls were decent proportions but one too much mayo for our palate. Nigiri cuts were small, rice base gummier than typical. Overall compared to sushi places back home in PNW/Seattle area food quality failed to impress, but service was good and restaurant had nice ambiance. Also takes reservations which was a plus for us since we didn't want to wait long to eat!

It was a very pleasant experience. The food was tasty: sea urchin was fresh and flavorful. Yum yum, and Hawaiian rolls were delicate and balanced; two special rolls were very Japanese style: the main ingredient, fish was straightforward; a lot of fresh and tender ahi and yellowtail. We've been to Japan a few times and my husband enjoyed "very fishy" rolls very much. However, we are from California and I'm used to a bit more eclectic taste of roles. The service was excellent and the price is adequate. I strongly recommend the place.

Amazing, great service!
It was a great experience. The sushi and food was excellent. Very fresh and the atmosphere is what you would have at any Japanese sushi joint. If we ever travel back here to Kona, we will definitely reserve to eat here again.

Centrally located. Good atmoshere. Fish is fresh and the selection is good. Only place I found Anago and the Uni was very sweet.

The food is fresh and delicious with attention to detail, and the service was friendly and prompt. I was annoyed that the staff refused to seat us outdoors, as I had requested. There was no reason for the outdoor dining area to have been closed.

Love Sushi Shiono. Have been going here since the first week they opened eons ago. The sushi is top notch. Excellent rolls. Love their Boat for two. The staff are very friendly and helpful.
2 Salmon hand rolls are very small filled with one skinny slice of salmon for $9 each smh. The rest of our meal cut rolls was pretty good. I said to the head waitress/ supervisor that these hand rolls are very small for $9. She replied you're the first person that ever thinks that. She rude and attitude. But, hey I'm back in Cali and me and the wifey got our sushi fix on great portion $6.50 ea and had two a piece. Wish I could've taken a pic of the rolls that Sushi Shiono served. But these pics are from Kishi sushi in cali.

This was one of the best places I went to on my trip to Hawaii. I went with my friends on this trip and all night we were saying how yummy it was. The service was amazing since the employers were so nice to me and my friends. Such a friendly restaurant!!!!!!! And one of the employees was so fast and delivered the food right away!BEST PLACE EVER

this is a small venue and popular. Make a reservation (open table). the food was very good and fresh. We had the amber jack hamachi, and the sashimi special. Service was good. ambience, fair - it is tucked into a small shopping mall. But it is worth seeking it out, then walk across the street and watch the sunset.

The Hawaiian Volcano Roll is good

It was busy right at opening so get a reservation! Ask for the specials. We had Amber Jack hamachi And a sashimi special and sushi rice. Both were delicious and good size for sharing. Service and ambience good.
