I've tried Sushi all over America. I was thinking hey in Hawaii and the source of ingredients basically nearby can try fresh so called good stuff. I was more surprised to find out fake crab and canned tuna was used except the select raw options. I saw the reviews and I'm disappointed. The few pieces with raw ingredients did taste good. So my take maybe is get that instead.
Now that I understand much of sushi is made from canned ingredients. Other places I go will expect a similar price range. The rice was farely bland as well more so than a normal experience. I'm likely not going to see sushi the same ever again. My local stores must have some good sushi makers.
I have two restaurants in my town that are near no water and so far any sushi tried at them is really good. I may have had higher thoughts on food quality being in Hawaii but I'm finding it's not the case. The prices here are attractive though and if looking for a healthier bite to eat. It's not a bad route. Just in regards to quality or I guess quality of ingredients to taste, big miss.

If you’re a true sushi lover, this place is an absolute must. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with warm hospitality that instantly feels like you’ve been welcomed into a traditional Japanese sushi-ya. The staff not only provide impeccable service — attentive, gracious, and prompt — but they also speak Japanese, adding an extra layer of authenticity that’s increasingly rare to find outside of Japan.
But let’s talk about the real star here: the sushi. The hand rolls are, without exaggeration, the best. The fish is impossibly fresh, the rice is seasoned to perfection, and the balance of flavors is masterful. Every bite is crafted with such care and precision that you can tell the chefs are true artisans of their craft.
What’s the catch? They close early — like, 3 PM early. And that’s honestly the only downside. It’s a bit of a heartbreak knowing something this incredible isn’t available for dinner. But if you can plan your day around it, you’ll be rewarded with a sushi experience that’s unforgettable.

Great place to pick up sushi! There are a few pre-made rolls, but most of the sushi is made fresh while you wait. Prices range from under $5 to over $30 for a party platter. It is possible to order in advance for the platters. There is just a bench inside for seating, so when it gets crowded you end up ✋️ outside. Prices are very reasonable and it really is good. Be sure to pay attention to the store hours because they close mid afternoon!

Very small, take out only place. With fast and excellent service. I enjoy my visit every time I'm here from the mainland.
Parking: Location is in the windward shopping center near foodland. Lots of free parking. The only negative is the parking stalls are very small. Seems every stall is designed for compact cars only.
