Yum! Randomly dropped here to try the sushi tacos, and my friends got Poke bowls! Everything was tasty! It’s a small location, so mostly pickup/to-go vibes, but we sat out front on the stools.
It was very good
Came in right at open during the week, got several of their sushi rolls, and they were amazing! The unique take on these were so fun to try. Service was really friendly, and we were able to sit outside.
Really good and polite guys
Randomly found this spot while traveling on the Leeward side and stopped for lunch. Service was fast. The spicy ahi sushi tacos were delicious! The shell was nice and crispy. The fish was fresh.
This is such a hidden gem in Waianae. We stop here every time we head west. The flavors in their poke tacos are delicious and so unique. I just wish they were open for dinner, because we’d be frequent dinner customers if they were!
This place is usually really good and I usually recommend the ahi tacos. But not sure when they changed their recipe. I am very disappointed with my order. The texture was off and the food was filled with an odd "seafood paste" instead of the actually fresh cut ahi. The sushi, the tacos and the sandwhich all had a paste seafood mixture instead of actually cut up seafood....

Randomly found this place and what a gem! The ahi tuna was fresh and loved the concept of the sushi taco- so crispy and delicious. The server was super friendly and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure the tacos were divided evenly among our party.
We went back two times while I was staying on the West side. Definitely recommend stopping and trying it out!

Very delicious!! I do wish they listed scallions as an ingredient because it wasn’t listed on the item I got and I don’t like them. But they were easy to pick off. I would definitely order here again! There is not a lot of seating here. 4 chairs inside and a few more outside.

Very long wait. I ordered at 1:48pm and got my food at 2:32pm, about 45min wait.
The rice was all mushy. Rolls take longer than just the bowls.

Big Surprise. The food was so good and fresh. I got the special and it could have easily passed for a dish one could get at a fancy restaurant for double the price. Very clean and staff super nice.

Wow, what a way to eat Poke and Sushi. Why haven’t I had this before?
I was worried the tacos would be too seaweed forward but the balance of rice and seaweed for the shell was so so good. I had the cali, Hawaiian and Spicy. Also had the sushi roll with hot Cheetos.
If you haven’t tried this place, you have to. We will definitely be going back. Only 5 minutes or so away from Electric Beach.
They also hit some events near Ewa and Kapolei

Super friendly cashier & easy-to-order menu! Went here for the sushi tacos, love how crispy they are and it's best when eaten fresh and hot. Bretman Rock's TikTok video convinced us to make the drive to try it out! Packed with flavor & crunch! Parking is limited & the shop is a tiny place, and worth the trip ✨️

This is hands down my favorite restaurant on Oahu. I have tried a good portion of what is on their menu and not one single dish has not been life changing. It’s made fresh, menu items are original and always delicious and the staff are always friendly. T8ste Buds is my go to restaurant! Way to go guys on an outstanding establishment is all ways.
