This is a better omakase than in NYC, and like many others commented it is on par with Japan. I very much enjoyed here every course, and I highly recommend it. I also appreciated that the premium course had abalone and abalone liver, because that also speaks to omakase traditions.

I had an amazing birthday dinner here with my boyfriend. The flavor combinations were like nothing I have ever tried anywhere on island. 22 truly has a unique dining experience. I was nervous about not being full after our courses but that was not the case. The protein to rice proportions were perfection. Don’t forget to BYOB! ?

We were blown away by the ingredient quality, flavor profiles, the pacing of courses, and the chef's personal attention. Best raw seafood we've ever had.
Picked up a bottle of sake at Foodland before for BYOB. Worked out great! Will absolutely go back on our next trip to Kailua.

This is hands down the best sushi I’ve had among Japan, hawaii, and SF. The fish is absurdly good, fresh, and melts in your mouth. The combinations are perfect and subtle. We had the $150 course meal and every single bite was amazing. The chef is wonderful and it’s fun to watch him work. Will come back again. Highly recommended. Decadent additions with caviar, wagyu, and foie gras and truffles. Small, unassuming, and comfortable atmosphere. Make reservations!
Outstanding omakase experience. Bright flavors, friendly service, calm atmosphere. Don’t be fooled by low reviews. You need a reservation otherwise they won’t serve you. That is reasonable for a omakase!

Stunning dinner—have never experienced omakase like this. Returned a few days later for a poke lunch that was equally delicious — not at all mass produced. Owners/chefs could not be kinder. Loved it!
Even the takeout is another level. So fresh. Love it.

They only let you in if you made reservation through their IG page. We drove one hour and they didn't host us.

Hands down best Sushi I've ever had. Lived in Hawaii 25 years and this is the best. Be prepared to be transported to Japan for the duration of your lovely meal.
ONLY OPEN VIA TEXT RESERVATIONWe googled for food, this place came up with fabulous reviews, we drove, paid for our parking and then found out we had to have a reservation well in advance. What a disappointment and waste of time/money. :(
