48 Best Sushi Bars near Waipahu

“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“

“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!“

“Is Soo good“

“I would recommend making a restaurant here in Las Vegas. Genki is a staple back home in Hawaii, and no sushi place here is up to par. I feel like you folks will make a lot of money, especially because of the amount of locals here.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious, inventive, fun, intimate and so enjoyable. We did the 150 omakase. We were really full at the end. No bad dishes at all and some really were delicious. Yes it was a little difficult to find the restaurant after parking and no we didn't see any flying bugs that a few other guests mentioned. We had an amazing time.“

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

“found this little gem and so glad I did! Poke is soo good and fresh with lots of topping options. When in KoOlina you must stop in for some Poke.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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(:“

“I wonder why they serve human food but have the name “fish food”? hm, the world may never know. anywho, i had the spicy ahi bowl (?) that came with rice, some fish, and 2 pieces of gyoza with sauce. the fish was good and had the spiciness of a 3.5 on the caucasian scale of spicy; has a little kick but won’t make you cry out for jésus or anything. the convenience of having poke on base was amazing but the portion size was not! $15 or so for a small bento sized meal is a little pricey as poke bowls at foodland are about $5 cheaper and they give you more fish and rice as well.For the size of fish food hawaiis spicy ahi, i have attached a pic to show the size with an ice breakers ice cube gum for a scale (didn’t have banana for scale)“

“Nice place for sit down and relaxed“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food!! The selection of vegetables and what not is good!“

“I ate the bento with spicy ahi and teri chicken. It was yummy. I come here with all my friends.“

“I went here today for brunch because we had a late start to the day.We wanted sushi today so we went here,they let us in early(5 mins before open).we were surprised on how cheap their food was.i got the spicy ahi don and 3 crab hand rolls,plus a green tea.the food came within 4 minutes so the wait wasnt long.the tables and floors were clean,their were things to look at,and the room was cool.

Parking: It's in the corner so it might be a long walk to get there.“

“You wouldn't expect this place to be as amazing as it is. But it always is. My family comes here all the time because we live just down the road, and we feel like it's absolutely the best restaurant in this area of the island. The service is consistently friendly. Everything we've tried off the menu, we've enjoyed. The setting is fantastic, especially watching the sunset over the golf course from the patio. My kids like playing on the grass area while we wait for food, and we like that they have a grilled cheese for our toddler and you can order it without fries. But get the fries, they're yummy, especially the garlic fries. We love the salt and pepper pork, the chicken sandwich, all the sushi rolls, the salads...and more. You can't go wrong. It can get busy in the evenings though, so it's better to make a reservation (even though we don't, we've sometimes had to wait long).“

“Reasonable price, quality food and good atmosphere“

“el buen servio .. y la comida“

“I have to go back to try the poke bowls. Josh was top notch in balancing a big party and us in a full restaurant. Our agedashi tofu & #1 platter were spot on! Excellent experience. Would've been worth a wait IF there was a wait! We timed it perfectly as the tables filled for Valentine's about 10 min after we sat down.“

“There was a wonderful koi pond in this restaurant. It was not that busy. However, they seemed shorthanded because I kept looking for the waitress for a take out box. Finally, I had to stand up and ask for one from a man in a red shirt who appeared to be helping another table. The food was good. I especially liked the tempura of pumpkin, and string beans, the shrimp tempura was perfect. I ordered miso Butterfish. My husband liked it, but I did not like that it had a lot of black char on it. I read somewhere that the black Char is carcinogenic.“

“Their bento is really good on the go and the food is fresh and great. Luv it!“

“Excellent service and good food.“

“Fresh sushi 🍣 & amazing poke bowls“

“My wife searched the Internet for a place that makes shrimp plate and found Lucky Box Ewa Beach. Place was easy to find using GPS. The food was prepared at a decent time. Our order came out to over $100 and the food quality was good. The Pork chops was a little on the dry side but the spicy shrimp and burgers with fries tasted good.“

“Honestly I didn’t have lofty expectations when ordering for takeout, but the ingredients were fresh/delicious, the quality control (I.e, perfectly cooked sushi rice, crispy veggies, fresh fish) was spot on. I don’t think you will find better sushi on a military base anywhere else!“

“Good service, great Japanese food for that side of the island.“

“The Japanese owner is so friendly. I’m glad she’s still open and operating. Haven’t been back in years. She’s expanded her menu to include ramens and bowls, not just sushi anymore. And lots of tables and seating. She got my order wrong. It’s ok. I asked for a spicy spam handroll but she made me a salmon handroll instead. My son got one extra salmon roll. Everything was delicious and generous. The fish is not the “best” quality, of course, but it is good and oishi for a snack shop.“

“Went there on Monday about 930a. Located in the Kapolei market place, so there's lots of free parking. There's seating area, however for me, it's more a pick and go. Very organized and clean... which i like. I purchased futomaki (a little wet but the sushi rice flavor i like), karaage squid (good flavor but not hot) and manapua (bread to meat ratio good, flavor good but meat a little hard). I would actual go here again for a quick flavor of okazuya.“

“I eat here often for the varieties and none has failed me like some others nearby. Nor do they make you wait a lifetime for your food and always give friendly service. Highly recommend this place to non locals too. Very clean place well maintained and organized!“

“First off, I would like to say the owner is very kind. She helped me choose vegan dishes. It was my first time trying Natto and I know not everyone is used to it but I loved it. I also had the tofu salad. I really wanted to come back but I unfortunately couldn't because of time/itinerary restraints in Hawaii. I would love too come here again one day and recommend others to try it as well. The food is affordable and delicious. Updated from previous review on 2026-04-07“
