50 Best Sushi Bars near Pearl City

“Spicy Ahi has been our go-to Friday dinner spot for many years, and for good reason! Their ingredients are always fresh and high quality, making every meal consistently delicious. What truly sets them apart is their careful attention to takeout packaging—everything is packed thoughtfully to ensure the food stays fresh and intact by the time we get home. Whether dining in or taking out, Spicy Ahi never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Loved the atmosphere, the music and the food! I had the spicy ahi and it was delicious! It didn’t even feel like I was sitting 10 minutes from home. Definitely will be back!“

“I ordered the 2 choice bento with spicy ahi and teriyaki chicken. I didn’t take a picture because I forgot and ate the whole plate realizing I should have took the picture because it was AMAZING!!! There’s a sweet lady that works here, she seems like she loves what she does because of her smile! Definitely coming back(:“

“Always good customer service, professional and they get my order correct.“

“They were temporarily closed, but now they’re back with new ownership and an exciting reopening! The menu is easier to navigate, with tons of new original drinks and even more yakiniku options. Definitely worth checking out for the fresh updates!“

“We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated at an open table. Waters, menu, and table-ware were already on the table. We ordered Kamikaze roll, dancing shrimp roll, and stuffed mushrooms and everything was actually delicious (no there was no discount for me to write a review for them, its actually good). Plates were removed as soon as we finished one roll and the next was served. We dropped a chop stick and we're immediately given a new set. Check was served immediately when we finished the last roll too. We left very impressed.“

“Their sushi cake exceeded our expectations. It was so delicious and almost too pretty to eat! The 2 guys working when I picked up were awesome! Super friendly and one even took the time to show me the cake and gave tips on how to cut and eat it! Their customer service from ordering to pick up was exceptional!“

“The fish was incredible, the hostess was awesome, and it was one of the best meal experiences of my life! Reserve a spot at their omakase and you will have the meal of your life!“

“🍽️ Bara chirashi (x2) for takeout
💵 $80

Fantastic bara chirashi using freshest of quality seafood (includes uni, toro, ikura, tamago, octopus, mackerel, and more), cooked with authentic Japanese methods and the restaurant’s unique twist on the dish.

Beyond excellent for the price and a must-have if you are a sushi lover in Waikiki. One box is a perfect amount for one diner.

Note that this must be booked several days if not weeks in advance (can be checked through their booking platform). Pick up is strictly at 4:30pm at the Sushi Sho storefront inside the Ritz-Carlton. Food is recommended to be consumed within the same day.“

“Some of the best sushi you will ever have... Owner and staff are extremely friendly and welcoming, and the sushi/poke is outstanding. Aloha Sushi is a must visit for local, fresh, amazing sushi, and if the sushi doesn't make you want to come back for more, the friendly owner/staff certainly will.“

“Really cute omakase restaurant hidden and tucked away in the back corner. There were like 10 seats and 3 staff members, whom were all super friendly. We had the $100 omakase set and it came with all the premium goodies! Super happy with how fast the food comes out, the freshness and quality, and how delicious each piece tasted. Definitely going to be my go to omakase spot now.“

“Only go here if you’re interested in kind of a fancy experience. The lunch experience is about $100 per person. Expect an automatic 20% tip to be added in your bill before you receive it.
Consider this place as your appetizer, but not your full course meal. If you’re really hungry, this restaurant is not for you. It’ll burn a hole in your wallet.
All that being said, they serve fish that I’ve never found in a traditional sushi bar. I was pleasantly surprised by some of the unique flavors that I don’t usually get when I visit Tokyo. The waitress actually explains everything you’re eating. Definitely make reservations, as this is a very small boutique sushi bar with one large table and about half a dozen counter spaces.“

“We are pleasantly surprised of how good the food was. We are not big eater but everything we order is delicious. We will definitely come back to try other stuff on the menu. Waiters are very nice and attentive. The ambiance is intimate and modern. The area are also beautiful in the early evening.“

“Great sushi just a quick walk away from the airport during a layover“

“Beautiful location and view Delicious food Friendly service“

“Food and service excellent - we would go back again.“

“Just go and order Omakase. It is the sushi experience of your life!“

“Incredible food and wait staff. The restaurant is close to many hotels but just enough off the main road that it is less crowded and has a quieter atmosphere. The sashimi was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and attentive. If I ever get the opportunity to I will definitely return.“

“The perfect little spot. I stopped in after a recommendation, and am so glad I did. The lovely lady running the place was so kind and helpful with what I should order, and made sure I enjoyed it, too. I got the Poke Bowl and loved every bite. There are two small tables right outside, or you can take your food to go. They're also open early, which was perfect for my jetlagged brain. Highly recommend!“

“Amazingly cozy local spot with tons of charm and an amazingly executed menu. The staff were all incredibly friendly and accommodating, and while the space was on the smaller side, that just added to the atmosphere camaraderie. Come here if you want quality sushi done traditionally and a place where everyone feels like friends and family.“

“I had sushi and my husband had the mixed plate. The sushi was fresh and tasty. The mixed plate had a very generous portion of different kinds of meat including bulgogi. It was delicious. It is affordable compared to other sushi places. The best is the lady who helped us was very friendly and nice. The service was fast too!“

“Was on vacation looking for some fresh fish for dinner & Ginza DID NOT disappoint!! Fish was amazing and rolls were beautifully crafted 🍣 very well thought out flavors created a unique experience & our server was superb 👌 next time we are in town, I'll be sure to return!“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“We were looking for a hip, modern sushi spot that would be a little different from the usual Japanese restaurant—and Kanoa Sushi Grill & Bar absolutely delivered! We brought our auntie here to celebrate her 90th birthday, and we wanted somewhere fun, fresh, and memorable. This place was perfect. The atmosphere was lively and unique, the food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Everyone made us feel welcome and helped make the celebration really special. We had such a wonderful time and will definitely be coming back!“

“New owner has taken over this sushi spot and she is so nice and friendly! The food is absolutely amazing made fresh daily!!! Prices are very affordable too. If you love sushi look no further. I would highly recommend this place and new owner.“

“Went there on a Tuesday about 1130a. There are a few free parking stalls at the store, but there's also free street and other store parking across the street. It's an old style okazuya atmosphere. I bought futomaki...old style flavor that i was looking for. It was quick service and I would come here again“

“Used to pick up a lot of orders for Door Dash from this restaurant but gave it a try myself today and glad I did! Food was delicious and all freshly made. I ordered the Tempura roll, Rainbow roll and Negi hama bento. The chef added an extra piece of fish on the Negi hama and a whole ahi roll for free! (Greatly appreciated). The free hot green tea is a nice touch also for sure. Will be back for sure the next time sushi calls to me.“

“Omakase is special here. Everything had an extra element of nuanced flavor and treatment that is uncommon if not rare to find in most other sushi restaurants. You can tell by the first plate you're presented as starters. Tiny place, so plan on getting to greet and chat with others. But the dinner I attended here we ran into only cute families with cute kids.“

“After got off work on the rainy day I lost in that area. Miso soup and green tea warm me up yes all the roll and sashimi was so good. I finished everything be home happy:)“

“OMG what a sleeper foodie find! I was looking for a quick lunch place in the shopping center and thought I’d just grab a quick bento to go from this place… no way, once inside there’s so much more than sushi!

I perused the large sushi menu for a while before finally deciding on an already made bento of salmon collar. They offered a side of rice to go with it but I decided to go with cucumber sushi instead. I couldn’t help but look in their pastry fridge and immediately decided I had to have dessert - a super cute pair of lemon and strawberry tarts.

They also make boba tea to order, and offer a variety of desserts, from mango panna cotta to bagged cookies - feed that sweet tooth while you grab lunch or dinner!

So excited to find this place - you could bring a small or large group here, there’s great seating inside the restaurant.

Highly recommend this place if you’re deciding where to eat at this center!“

“Tucked away in the corner of a busy plaza, Honolulu Sushi at Ke’eaumoku feels like one of those rare hidden gems you almost want to keep to yourself—but it’s way too good not to share.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed so warmly—the owner is genuinely one of the nicest people you’ll meet, making the whole experience feel personal and inviting right away.

The nigiri sushi was hands down some of the best I’ve had—incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced, and crafted with so much care. Each piece just melts in your mouth, and you can truly taste the quality of the fish.

And the tempura? Absolutely flawless. Light, crisp, and not greasy at all—exactly how tempura should be. Every bite had that perfect crunch without overpowering the ingredients.

What really makes this place special is how it combines amazing food with heartfelt hospitality. It’s not flashy or overhyped—it’s just genuinely excellent.

Don’t let the tucked-away location fool you—this is easily one of the best sushi spots around. A true must-visit, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I wish I took a better photo because this party platter was a work of art and absolutely delicious (It was devoured
IMMEDIATELY)!!! The owner, Sam, is the nicest and sweetest person and she went out of her way to make sure the party platter was able to be transferred safely! The price is also VERY reasonable!! Thank you so much Sam and everyone should definitely order this for their next party or get together!!“

“This place came highly recommended. It was absolutely delicious. Friendly staff, great pricing.“

“Excellent sushi, to rival Seattle and Japan. Price is on par with global prices, yes there are cheaper options, but they were open on Friday after 3pm AND the quality is OUTSTANDING. Probably some of the best flavors my wife and I have had (We get sushi every where). The eel, smoked tobiko and the spicy ahi were THE BEST we have had. Compliments to the chef!

This neighborhood needs more places like this.“

“Banger hole in the wall. Delicious rolls and great value for the money. It’s on the ground floor of a tiny office building, seemingly a one person operation, and a home grown feel to it which is refreshing. The woman running it when we were there was kind and patient. The gyoza were a standout dish. I would definitely come back“

“Fresh fish, and it has so many options, so ono...“

“Nice place for sit down and relaxed“

“Such a fun twist on sushi. staff super nice. Food was excellent“

“We eat here at least twice a month. Food is always fresh and service is normally fast and friendly. The restaurant is fun and you order from your mobile device and the food is delivered via a train system that runs along the tables. I feel the prices are fair and they have the best French fries! Only complaint would be that this location is always very busy and we usually have to wait 15-30 minutes for a table.“

“Everything is fantastic awesome“

“This sushi restaurant is an absolute gem! On the cusp of the craziness of Waikiki, you can enjoy a delicious meal at a reasonable price before battling for limited parking. It’s best to make a reservation AND to be punctual. In classic Japanese fashion, they value efficiency coupled with providing excellent service. To fulfill their mission of serving a fair amount of customers, they kindly ask to complete your meal within 90 minutes. Food orders are delivered quickly with absolutely beautiful presentation! Book your reservation today! You’ll thank me later! =D“

“Loads of choices ranging from sushi, bentos, donburis, and noodles to satisfy any Japanese food craving while on a time crunch. It was relatively slow when we walked in, around 5 in the evening on a Friday, and the food came out really fast. Prices were decent as well.

The dynamite chicken donburi bowl was definitely the best thing we ordered. The chicken well seasoned and delicious with a tasty spicy mayo accompanying it on a well portioned bow of rice.
The poke bowl was lacking a little, as it missed a lot of other ingredients such as ogo and even sesame seeds, that make authentic Hawaiian poke, but it was still good quality tuna and had a bit of spice to it.
The spam sushi was good, as my son devoured it and the sushi rice used was made well with a tasty consistency.

The cashier at the counter was polite and didn’t forget to ask us about utensils and if we required wasabi or ginger for our order as well. Want to try other options next time!“

“Found this small restaurant as I walked around the area. Prices have increased from the menu I saw posted on here. Most are three dollars higher. There is a small seating area and I suppose you can eat there but this seems more like an order and go type of place. Food is decent. I found the portions to be spot on. I couldn’t finish my bento box and I took a bite of the poke bowl my wife ordered. Both were good. Fresh stuff. I’d recommend for sure.“

“There is seating and you can bring about four or five people per table. There’s also seating outside. It’s a really cool area of dying with family, friends or coworkers and also there is parking lots of parking right behind. It is literally connected within the storage building. literally it is located across McKinley high school’s football field. It is such a jam. They have really good fish there. The ambience is calm. It’s pretty quiet and next-door they have other high-end restaurants. This is a really good area to be in if you want to hang out with people visiting and or just bonding.“

“Anytime I'm at the NEX or Commissary, I get a bite to eat here. The food is delicious, no matter what you get on the menu. I prefer the shrimp tempora. It's always crowded in the food court (just how food courts are), but getting food to go is good too.“

“I recently visited Kazoku Sushi in Kapolei, located along Kamokila Boulevard near the center of Oʻahu’s west side community. Kapolei continues to grow as a residential and commercial hub, and restaurants like Kazoku Sushi play an important role in providing dependable neighborhood dining options for locals.

The atmosphere feels relaxed and comfortable, with a layout typical of a casual sushi restaurant. The interior is simple and practical, with both table seating and a sushi bar where guests can watch chefs prepare rolls and sashimi. It has the kind of welcoming environment that encourages repeat visits from local residents rather than aiming for a formal dining experience.

The menu offers a wide selection of familiar Japanese dishes. Sushi rolls, nigiri, and sashimi make up the core of the offerings, along with cooked items such as tempura, teriyaki plates, and bento combinations. The sushi tends to be generously portioned, and the range of rolls provides something approachable for both traditional sushi fans and those who prefer more creative combinations.

Service during the visit felt friendly and efficient. Staff were attentive without being overly formal, which fits well with the restaurant’s neighborhood dining atmosphere.

From a global travel perspective, Kazoku Sushi reminds me of the everyday sushi restaurants found throughout Japan and across coastal cities around the world where the emphasis is on consistency, accessibility, and a comfortable dining environment.“

“I've had the pleasure of experiencing omakase sushi here and throughout Japan, and told the Chef Sushi Que is one of the best I've experience. His presentation is exceptional and the great subtle flavors of the souces do not overpower the seafood being served. Reservations required months in advance.“

“Food is ALWAYS delicious and the staff is so kind and attentive! Katsu-san creates the most beautiful sashimi platters and omakase sushi!“

“Good food and drinks … nice ambiance… friendly staff“
