“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!“

“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(:“

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!“

“🍽️ 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.“

“My all itme favirite restaurant. Excellent food and service. Reknown for their chirashi.“

“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.“

“You will never be disappointed. The chef’s creativity in every dish shines through and is phenomenal every time. Makes me cry good tears! The best sushi on Oahu and a memorable, friendly atmosphere!“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“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.“

“The. Uncles who run it are so sweet; great meat to rice ratio; delicious!

No dine-in within the restaurant, but there are several tables right outside.

The sun and moon with spicy mayo is one of my favourites.“

“We did not have reservations, got sat right away. Service was great. Fish was fresh. Loved that they have mini noodle options. Didn't realize we came during happy hour. I ordered 3 items that fell on the HH menu. Will recommend and will return!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is an adorable little sushi bar tucked in a shopping center. The owner was super helpful and showed me all the plant based options on the menu. I got a veggie roll and seaweed salad. Food was prepared very fast and packaged with care. I will definitely order a second roll next time, since the sushi roll was a bit small for making a meal out of it. I ended up adding some extra veggies, soybeans, and sauce at our hotel to make It a more filling dinner. But everything was really delicious. I forget what the salty umami fruit was in the veggie roll but it really emulated the texture of fish without being fish. Well done! Overall, fantastic and affordable vegan sushi with a small family-owned vibe! I will be back!“

“A surprising delightful GEM!!! I've have sashimi at many places and the Taisho here was great... I h a d something g I never have before.. red snapper but with a special spicy wasbi... but I dont think he said it waa wasabi but it was straight from Japan... anyway. Again, another off the strip place where you are not paying an arm and a leg for FANTASTIC sushi. Fresh friendly, fast (i was ther early) inhear it c an get packed. I recommend you try it first... then try the ones on the strip for 3 times the price... if youre ok paying for bougie and a bougie experience, i get it... and thats cool, me too, but NOT all the time
If you to give your wallet a break but jot sacrific le on the quality of food... they Chiba-Ken. Arigato Taisho, oishii desu!!!“

“I highly recommend Kats Sushi for anyone looking for exceptional all-you-can-eat sushi. I visited based on a local chef's recommendation, and I was initially worried it might be machine-made, but I was completely wrong—the sushi is fresh, handmade, and delicious. This is truly a hidden gem on the island that my entire family thoroughly enjoyed.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“お蕎麦はもちろん今回は雲丹、いくら、帆立の海鮮丼がとても美味しかったです。 ランチセットがリーズナブルです👍“

“I went here after climbing diamondhead, the only reason it’s not five stars is simply because of seating and location , the portions were well sized so you don’t overeat, and the miso was so good even on a hot day. the tuna was fresh and the servers were sweet !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Celebrated our engagement here... been here a few times since living here and even after leaving and the vibes and food here are always excellent! We sat at the sushi bar this time which I think made the experience more fun since it basically felt like an omakase style meal despite us also ordering a la carte. We're more into the casual but excellent fish quality vibe anyway... thanks jeff and to the staff for being welcoming!“

“There's not enough space to right the good things about this place. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and acknowledged by everyone, including the sushi chefs. Water and drink order is perfectly timed. Whether you order teishoku complete meals or sushi, the flavor and and portions are spot on. If you choose to sit at the sushi counter, the spread is just amazing. From white fish, tuna, to shellfish and sometimes even a fruit or plant to cleanse the pallet. I would recommend reservations as this place is always busy. Takeout is also very good!“

“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!“

“Currents Sushi & Sake is a standout spot for fresh, well-executed sushi in a clean, modern space with great vibes.
The unagi avocado bowl was excellent—glazed eel with a nice char, perfectly ripe avocado slices, sesame seeds, and a generous pile of green onion over seasoned rice, plus a solid hit of wasabi. The rolls delivered too: the spicy tuna-style pieces with green onion and tobiko had bright, clean flavors, and the salmon roll topped with crispy bits and sauce had great texture contrast. The fried bites (served with lemon and dipping sauce) were crispy and satisfying as a side.
Service was smooth, the dining area feels open and comfortable with nice lighting and ocean-themed details, and the overall experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. Highly recommend if you’re craving quality sushi and sake in a welcoming setting. Will definitely be 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!!“

“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!“

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

“It had been a while since my last visit. I remember it being good but this time, I felt like it was far superior than the last time. I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite! Our server was kind, sincere and patient with us, explaining each item. The food was perfectly paced and absolutely delicious. We felt like VIPs as we were the only party for the second seating 😊 The chef even came out to chat with us for a bit 🥰 Can't wait to come back!“

“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!“

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

“Nice place for sit down and relaxed“

“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“
