When I'm craving sushi and want to go all in without destroying my wallet, Ahi & Vegetable is my go-to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's lots of parking and plenty of seating inside, which already makes it an easy choice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For around $35 AYCE, the quality is honestly a steal. The variety is solid too -- tons of rolls to choose from, plus fried sides, miso soup, veggies, and more. You definitely don't feel limited for the price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The AC is always bumping so bring a jacket if you're cold easily.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is always quick and helpful, and the food comes out at a steady pace so you can keep the rounds going. My personal favorites? Anything with shrimp tempura and spicy ahi. I always ask for unagi sauce on the side to dip everything in -- it adds that perfect touch of sweetness. All in all, if you're trying to eat a ton of sushi without breaking the bank, this is the move.

Food: AYCE sushi was good--nothing standout, but solid overall. Favorites: * Vegetable tempura (the mixed patty kine--my fave) * Aburi hamachi * Agedashi tofu (broth was ono) * Garlic fried chicken wings Cost: $35 AYCE per adult, keiki discounted. Sashimi + otoro are $3 extra per order. They do check for leftovers and charge accordingly--so order wisely. Ended up around $45 after tip... not the "deal" I imagined, but still decent. Service & Space: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Friendly staff, clean, and sanitary.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Late update 2-11-2026 Brother-in-law said let's try the AYCE at Ahi and Vegetable. We got there a few minutes before eleven. Signage stated that the AYCE Starts at eleven. We were promptly seated and given a menu for our selections. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good service with clean and spacious seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was surprised that our first ordered came out on a wooden boat. This is something you see at fancier Japanese restaurants. Overall the sushi was good. I didn't care for the breading of the fried squid or tempura. Enjoy

Today my sister and B-in-law decided to check out Ahi & Vegetable located in the Kapalama shopping center . We decided to go with their AYCE sushi . $35.95 not too bad although certain premium sushi will be $3 more . It was ok and they brought out our sushi in a boast it was pretty cool . Service was efficient once we rang the buzzer the waitress came by real quick . Support local

Casual and affordable all-you-can-eat sushi spot! Out of all of the Ahi & Vegetable locations, this is my favorite. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of parking, friendly service, and a large dining area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The sushi is a bit rice-heavy but the selection and price makes up for it. My must orders are the fried calamari, aburi scallops, and onion salmon. If your order is large they even put it on a wooden boat!

Tried out the AYCE here at Ahi & Veggie. I was surprised at how much choices were available. I was hoping for the boat, but the food all came out on individual plates. Also we could only order like 3 items at a time. Anyway, the food was pretty good. My kids enjoyed the non sushi items and made the ordering worth it too.

Update on 2-11-26. My brother wanted to try AYCE sushi here at this place. Me and my husband never tried the AYCE sushi although we had their salmon ahi salad. That's good. Well we ordered a little too much today. Ikura, salmon, ahi, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, fried calamari, tamago, gyoza, unagi. It was alot. For the price I guess it was okay.it was about $35.00 per person. If you want to try them support them.

Not a bad portion for $17

Definitely some good flavors my first time in ahi vegetable I ordered the spicy Yahi. I can't really complain. I'm here for the Fish. The vegetables looked a little bit overcooked but I'm OK with.

Some nights call for something quick, healthy-ish, and satisfying--and that's exactly how we ended up at Ahi & Vegetable. We were in Kalihi and I suggested it to my hubby as an easy dinner option. I ordered the ahi, salmon, cali, poke bento, while my hubby went with the chirashi. Both meals came with a bowl of miso soup. Is it the greatest sushi you'll ever have? No--but it's a great option when you're in the mood for sushi but don't want to break the bank. The portions are solid, the fish is fresh, and best of all, the food comes out fast. Simple, affordable.

Ross T.

The fresh fish they use is great and the owner goes to the auction block daily to purchase the fish he needs for the day. The service is great and they are friendly and service from order to dining is fast. If you are craving some fresh fish or they serve also udon and also have some cooked items and alcoholic drinks and soft drinks available for purchase. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restroom are shared by all the tenants in the Kapalama mall it is on the left side of Ahi & Vegetable as you enter pass the laundromat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Good size parking shared by other tenants.

On Sunday, May 24, 2026, I picked up my takeout order. Jade was so helpful, friendly, and pleasant. She made sure I received my rewards by asking me to punch in my phone number. Whenever we have a family get-together, I always get sushi platter from Ahi & Vegetable. Their food is always delicious. My family eats at the restaurant very often and enjoy their AYCE. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is always clean and is very spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall the restaurant is one of my favorite sushi restaurants.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you Jade - you're awesome. Ahi & Vegetable is fortunate to have a very good employee like you.

Happy hour menu

Food was yummy! Fish was fresh and great quality. Chicken wings were slightly too salty for me but still nice and crunchy. Parking is shared and located next to Launderette.

Leslie M.

What a great place to get a quick bite to eat. We came here when we arrived to Honolulu and needed a place to eat that was quick, reasonably priced, and on our way to our hotel. The food here was exactly what we needed. It was good and not expensive. Service was limited. You have to press the bell to get someone to come to you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is simple, and not fancy but overall I liked it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

(4/5) Staff: Hostess - we asked to sit outside and asked for a table near the railings - she told us that the table wasn't available but it was available the entire time we were there and there were several other open tables. (3/5) Waiter: quick service (mostly) & friendly. But didn't refill our water or inquire - tbf he was covering a lot of tables.(4/5) Food: (5/5) Poke Nachos. Order these, you won't be disappointed. Creme Brûlée Cheesecake - this was so good. (4/5) Drink/After 7: I like when the presentation looks like the pic; This did not but it was delicious. (3/5) Garlic chicken bites / average - crunchy but a little bland Edamame / fresh but average Monchong (catch of the day) the fish was fresh but the seasoning was bland Steak fritters- the steak was well cooked and flavorful, but the fries were way over salted and tasted previously frozen. (2/5) The burger - the patties had too much filling and not enough "burger". I got the side salad instead of fries and it's just green leaf lettuce, a little wilted, withe house dressing, and the dressing is not great. Desert slices are small and cost 8.50-13.00 (go down the road to Liliha Bakery instead) Vanilla Caramel Crunch cake - there wasn't a real "crunch" and the caramel layer in the top is way too thick. Chocolate cake - too dense Mango cheesecake - too tart

So I'm so glad to have found another... until yelpers give this place a lot of business as well. Just checked out their Yelp reviews and noted they cook their great seafood to order in the attached food court - winner!!!! As for the poke, which I did get this time, they let me sample the California, Hawaiian, spicy ahi, and another one which I actually bought but forgot the name. It looks similar to spicy ahi without the super spice. All the poke was super fresh and tasty. The guys working the counter was super nice and they're cutting the fish fresh.

Some steamed, some deep fried. It looked so good we had to come back another day. Spoke with the gentleman running the counter and he told us to go to the adjacent seafood monger (same company) and pick your fish. They have all kinds to pick from including shrimp, clams and oysters. Some fish are better suited for steaming versus deep frying. For the most part deep fried fish is delicious but most fish deep fried will lose its fresh taste. The monger said the Onaga fish will have a firm texture when steamed. Once you pick the fish they take it back to the kitchen to prepare it. Pricing is based on the fish per pound and then they add on $10-$20 for the preparation. We ordered a 1.8 lb Onaga fish whole "long tailed red snapper" Steamed... I'm telling you it was fantastic! fresh and flavorful. Got a bowl of white rice as well... dang it was good! The seating area is narrow but a vibrant scene. Was packed and lots of folks ordering from the various other food vendors in the space. Give them a try!

The restaurant wasn't small, but there were just a lot of people. We waited about 20 minutes for a table. What's great about this place is that they have these paper menus. You can check off what you want while you're waiting. As soon as you get seated, you can just hand over the menu to the server and it makes the process a lot faster. It didn't take that long for us to get our food. We ordered a lot of items. We got the shrimp dumplings, black bean spareribs, beef look fun, Shanghai pork dumplings, steamed salted egg custard buns, pan fried turnip cake, seafood bean curd roll, sesame balls with red bean, taro puffs and chicken dumplings. Everything was on point except the sesame balls with red bean. They were small and the breading was thick. Pass on those. My two favorites were the black bean spareribs and the salted egg custard buns. I love salted duck eggs. The prices here are a bit more than the average dim sum spot. Most of the steamed baskets were $7-$8. If you use your American Savings Bank debit card you get a discount: $7 off $50, $15 off $100 or $75 off $500. Free parking in the basement of the building.

I liked that there was a condiment bar at the end to add any toppings you wanted. The fish was fresh and well seasoned, with no fishiness at all. I just wished there was a bit more white onion for crunch, but it was good regardless. The Fish and Chips were really good. The fish was super crispy, the meat was firm, and the fries were nicely fried. The tartar sauce or maybe more of a lemony aioli, was the star. It wasn't your usual tartar sauce; it had a homemade lemony sweetness that made it delicious. My only complaint was that the batter came off the fish pretty easily, which made it a bit tricky to eat at times.

It's incredible on the seafood, but honestly, I could dip just about anything in it. The fries are amazing with it, and even the catfish takes on a whole new level of flavor when you dunk it in that sauce. I'd probably consider myself a regular at this point, and 9 out of 10 visits the food is phenomenal. Every once in a great while--maybe once every six months--you'll get seafood that's a little fishier than expected, and it might make you hesitate before coming back. But then your next visit reminds you exactly why you keep returning. The food is consistently some of the best seafood you'll find. The service is another reason I love this place. The wait staff is always friendly, especially one of the local aunties who always makes us feel welcome. The manager is constantly walking the dining room, checking on guests and making sure everyone is enjoying themselves. It's refreshing to see a manager who genuinely cares about the customer experience. The restaurant itself is a lot of fun. The nautical decorations make you feel like you're sitting in a dockside seafood shack. It almost feels like they're dropping crab pots out back and bringing your dinner straight to the table. Boiling Crab has become one of my go-to restaurants, and I recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing seafood boil. Great food, great service, a fun atmosphere, and a sauce you'll be thinking about long after you leave.
