This restaurant was outrageous delicious. The food was top notch. Fish was as fresh as could be. A bit tight for parking. I will 100% recommend this to anyone traveling to Kauai.

I Didn’t Know Raw Fish Could Change My Life

This place? Sushi heaven with soy sauce on top.

I walked in thinking I’d just grab a roll or two. I walked out questioning every life choice that led me to not eat here sooner. The salmon nigiri was so buttery, I briefly considered texting my ex just to say “you never made me feel like this.” The spicy tuna roll slapped harder than my aunt at Christmas when I forget to call her.

The sushi chef is clearly a wizard. Possibly a retired samurai. The way that fish hit my tongue, I swear I saw Mount Fuji in the distance and heard a single gong.

The service? Immaculate. Our server refilled my water like I was dehydrated royalty. And when I accidentally inhaled a chunk of wasabi and ascended to another dimension, she brought me tissues with the grace of an angel.

Bottom line: If you don’t eat here, your taste buds are missing out on their purpose in life. I’ll be back. Probably too soon. Probably already outside.

Great place to grab sushi or other Japanese hot food. More affordable than some other sushi places on island

Yummy sushi. Don't be desuaded by the exterior, it's a good sushi place with reasonable prices. The bento boxes give you a ton of food too. Everyone left happy! Recommended if youre in the Kapaa area.

I have never left a review in my life but this place is horrible, I just ordered a shrimp tempura with a miso soup, the miso soup was normal while the shrimp tempura roll that I paid for only came with 5 rolls, not only was it missing rolls but it tastes like absolute garbage. Do not come here unless you are strictly getting their tepenyaki because the sushi is absolutely horrible.

I recently dined at this sushi restaurant and found the overall experience to be mixed. The food was decent, though nothing particularly stood out. I ordered a bento box, which included a side salad; however, the dressing was unexpectedly sweet and heavy—more reminiscent of frosting mixed with mayonnaise than a traditional Japanese-style dressing.

The chicken karaage portion was quite small, resembling popcorn-sized pieces. While the flavor was acceptable, the serving size and presentation left something to be desired. Additionally, I had requested hot green tea, but was instead served oolong tea. Though a small mistake, it did reflect a lapse in attention to detail.

Overall, while the restaurant has potential, a few adjustments in both the kitchen and service could greatly enhance the dining experience.

This place has many options to choose from. The team members are very friendly, and the seating is very comfortable. We ordered a Bento with Chicken Katsu and Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura, and another Bento with Saba Shioyaki, Miso Butter Fish, and Spicy Salmon Roll. They are of great value, and super delicious.
