Immediately upon entering Takumi Japanese Sushi Bar, they greeted me with an inviting and cordial ambiance. The restaurant's interior emanated a warm and traditional Japanese atmosphere, making it a suitable location for informal dining and formal events.The menu's sushi and sashimi selection was extensive, featuring both traditional and avant-garde creations. The fish melted in the mouth due to its extraordinary freshness. The chef's special rolls were especially remarkable due to their visually captivating appearance and delectable craftsmanship—exquisitely integrating flavors.The attentive and cordial service contributed to the overall satisfaction of the clientele. The staff exhibited high expertise regarding the menu and provided impeccable recommendations, especially regarding sake pairings.However, during peak hours, food service was marginally more time-consuming than anticipated, which diminished the dining experience slightly. Furthermore, although the food was of commendable quality, the cost appeared excessive, particularly for specific specialty rolls.For sushi enthusiasts in Kapolei, Takumi Japanese Sushi Bar is, in conclusion, a hidden gem. It is a must-visit due to the sushi quality, the ambiance, and the service. Notwithstanding the extended waiting periods and higher cost, the comprehensive encounter is highly commendable and deserves a solid four stars.

oyster shooters were really good. we had a nice sushimi variety and a couple rolls. The spicy tuna is more sweet then spicy...could have passed on that..but everything else was really good.

I’m from Washington and have three family owned restaurants that are all rated 4.3 stars with hundreds of reviews. I’ve been a chef for many years and traveled around the country to many different sushi spots and the dynamite roll plus the dragon roll was the best sushi I’ve ever had. Warm environment and kind workers.

Arrived around 6 and was told they can't seat a party of 2 because they had a big party (8 people) and that was considered busy for them. I'm confused why they have more tables and seats if they can only handle 8 people at a time.

I'm staying in the Embassy Suits Hotel where the restaurant is located.I'm the only one standing at the hostess stand waiting to attend, too. Once the hostess gets to me, I hear someone say "no take out," and the hostess asks if I'm dining in? I say no, I wanted to do takeout. She then tells me they're not doing takeout. Tell me, what would have been the difference if I sat to eat alone or took the food up to my room. If you ask me, it's more work if I dined in. So this is the reason for my low rating.

Sadly this sushi restaurant deserves 1 star, hopefully they can improve. The sushi fish tasted old and even smelled a bit, I wasn’t sure if I should have eaten it and thankfully I didn’t get food poisoning. But the ahi tuna on my rainbow roll looked a brownish tinge and smelled fishy. The hamachi nigiri didn’t taste fresh either. The roll my husband had didn’t taste fresh either. And the worst part was the price, $12 for 2 pieces nigiri, and $22 for a rainbow roll. I was very dissatisfied with the quality and value of the food. I guess the good reviews must be from happily drunk people.
Wonderful staff, great food, and drinks are superb! Recommend stop! Inside embassy suites at Kapolei Beach.

Way overpriced food. The food was good, pretty plain, and not much flavor, we had oyster on the half shell as well, and we can say they were a disappointment. The sauces were good.We are from the West Coast, and our oysters are huge compared to these. We expected a lot more than what we got. Did I mention they were way overpriced?

Went last night for dinner with the ohana and two small children. They do not serve any type of noodles anymore(such a bummer for the kids). They also have cooked salmon with strawberries, a miss for us all.Parking: Street parking is very limited.

Ordered dynamite roll and takumi roll. Both of it are pretty delicious! Very friendly waiters. It's a bit expensive.

Brenton was our server....friendly, efficient and just overall lovely!! My husband and I split three sushi rolls and a mussel hot plate..delic!!! Ended the night with a cheesecake souffle, I don't think it was house made, but super yummy none the less! Just enough vibe for a date night or a night out, but still family friendly. We will be back!
