Went to this location for the first time and when I opened my bag of food since they tie it up, it looked suspicious. I called them to let them know that the fish looked discolored and they forgot 1 of my sushi rolls. The response I got was the fish was fresh and once I leave the store they are no longer responsible. I ended up getting food poison. Would not recommend this place as the attitude that was given and response from the person who answered the phone was clear, " all about the sale". Definetly not going back. Word to the public check your food before you leave.

Dynamite Spicy Ahi is so ʻono I always call in my order because they usually take a while to make it, especially when they're super busy in the evenings.

Love to get platters from here. Love the sushi. Fish is fresh and great assortment. Price is comparable to the great sushi.

Weird that there are so many negative reviews. I eat here at least once a year when visiting and the experience has been pretty consistent over several years.The most consistent negative thing I could parse out from other reviews that I agree with is the looseness of the rolls. The nori is not tight and sometimes is broken, which results in the roll partially falling apart. While not something the restaurant would want to happen, it really only detracts from presentation.The fish is always good - never had anything that was old, slimy, fishy, or anything else some of the other reviews say. I get a huge variety of platters including nigiri, specialty rolls, and poke, so I feel like it’s an adequate mix of their offerings.The menu is varied and should have something for everyone. There are no written descriptions of the rolls or platters. They rely on pictures on the menu (which I uploaded as of September 2023), but they’ll explain it all if you call or enter the shop.In summary, if you’re in the area and have a hankering for some good sushi, Waipuna Sushi is a great choice. If you want poke, the Food Land down the road is a better choice, but Waiapuna’s (limited) poke choices are serviceable.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps exist to access sidewalk to entrance

Fast food sushi at a reasonable price. I wasn't expecting much but was reasonably satisfied with the product for the price point. Rice was in abundance and fresh. Most of the fish was previously frozen so it lacked some luster in taste and texture. Service was fast and polite. Restaurant is clean.

This place has great prices and the quality is sooo good. The service is always great and they are quick to answer the phone. I definitely recommend the half and half roll. It is so yummy!

Hamachi sushi served have frozen. No flavor. Taco was rubbery and also with no taste. Dry. Not worth eating something that isn't fresh.

I love this place! Everything is made to order. Be patient it might take awhile, as there are only two aunties working. But it is well worth the wait! 10/10 recommended. It's like eating with family here.

Excellent sushi! I got mine to go and it was so quick, everything looked amazing but I got the Brandon's Maki and Caterpillar Maki and wow it's incredible, the fish is so fresh and the flavors are amazing!
