Japanese Restaurants in Waimea

“Always wanted to try this place and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful dining experience seeing the sunset and enjoying the unique cuisine. We had the seafood tower and tried the tasting menu. Drinks were also great. The service was wonderful and one of the best parts of our experience. Thank you CanoeHouse!“

“Fantastic, fresh fish at a reasonable price. That is hard to find on the island! Staff were very friendly, everything came out quickly, and the quality was great on every item! We had sashimi, several rolls, chirashi bowl. Patricia, our server, was fantastic and we managed to get in early for our reservation!“

“TLDR good for nice dinner in a pinch but there are other better options on this side of the island.

Takoyaki were OK, lacked flavor a bit and not as much octopus in them.

Volcano Roll delicious. Bincho Roll also very good, and would order again but not the best Waygu I had in the area (CanoeHouse Waygu Tataki was 2x better).

Sashimi Set high quality fish.

Grilled Kanpachi SO good, I went back and ordered it again. The fish itself is so soft and moist. The mushrooms add incredible flavor and texture. A little pricey (~$60) for the portion but not unheard of for the area/hotel.

Atmosphere was just weird....super empty. No one inside either time we went around 7/8pm. Outside was quiet and we ended up being one of the only people out there.“
