Hubby Lunch from @Aloha Cones today. Looks like a Poke Bowl to me??  Heehee!  He says that it tasted good too.
Tami C.

Aloha Ahiahi, from Hawai'i Nei :) \000/..... Yikes, it's sure been awhile since I've writen any Reviews here on Yelp?!?!?..... Welp, for this place @Aloha Cones, located right on *School St.*, which is very close to where we live & my Hubby is the one who will Usually head out on his days off & pick us up our Lunch Grindz!!! Mahalo Nui, always to my Husband David :) I know exactly where this Eatery is located & I've driven by here tons of times, I just never stopped on by, knowing that my Husband will drop on by here, especially he knows that I enjoy my *Shrimp Tempura*, etc. I don't, I repeat that I don't eat NO "Raw Fish!" @all, no "thank you", I've tried it before *Sashimi*, once before when my late Dad :(, insisted on me trying "Raw Fish", probably because my Dad was an avid Fisherman & he really wanted me to try his Fresh Sashimi, that he & his very good Male Friend & my Dad probably Caught & was excited, knowing that my Mom & my Sister Randi enjoys eating the Sashimi my Dad always would Cut the fresh fish for them @The (*Sumida Farm* = My late Dad :(, was a very Active member for the *The Aiea Boat Club*), So, I'm guessing my late Dad assumed that I would enjoy his *Sashimi* & A'ole, I hated it & spit it out (lol!) A long time ago!!, my one & only time I've tried any Sashimi in my life, yuck I say!!! Lol! It's just not for me, period!! I feel it's an acquired thing, & I just don't like it!! The reason while I'm mentioning about "Raw Fish" is because this place, @Aloha Cones does serve "Raw Fish", which my Husband will order a Bowl of it & then he'll always Order, my Favorite "Shrimp Tempura" bowl w/lots of rice (yikes!), & my nice bowl of "Shrimp Tempura" meal also comes w/Fresh Avocados, A Scoop of *Imitation Crab* = (I really enjoy this food Feature!!), Cucumbers, Sprouts, Lima Beans, etc & more fillers of Cruchy goodness, which I always enjoy every bite of my meal, all the many, many times when my Husband has picked up my "Tempura Bowl" meal of yumminess!! The price for my Ono "Tempura Bowl" is if I'm correct is, $15.00+ tax, etc. I always enjoy this treat & guess what, again, I haven't stepped foot in this place yet?? (lol!), but when I do put in my Order, the Sweet Nice Lady that Usually answers the phone, is always pleasant to talk too!! My Husband David mentioned to me that this Place @Aloha Cones may be a "Ohana" Business, not 100% sure, because I've never been here yet???? Lol! I'm sure I'll come & sit down one day here in the Future @Aloha Cones & take a few more photos for my pge here on Yelp!! A definitely 5***** place to eat at, I mean honestly, their *Shrimp Tempura* isn't the biggest "Shrimp Tempura" bowl meal, but I surely enjoy it, ooh yeah, they do put this nice *Sauce* on my Shrimp Tempura, I'm thinking it could maybe be, some Unagi Sauce, Maybe??, && I don't even eat Eel either?? Go figure!! Hahaha..... Lastly, I did try their *Karaage Chicken* a few times & I enjoyed it!! But, I mostly enjoy my "Shrimp Tempura" bowl meal, which always includes (2 pieces) of Shrimp Tempura, YUM!! Aloha, from Hawai'i Nei :) Cheers! P.S. - I forgot to also mention that this Eatery @Aloha Cones is located very near "Rainbow Drive In", which Rainbow Drive In is right around the Corner at the end of this Eatery on *School St.*.

Got a special off their instagram page for some delicious sashimi grade shoyu ahi and sesame ahi poke, and it really was delicious and fresh! I mostly ate it with white rice for a make my own poke bowl, but I also added a side of poke chips for $5 for some variety, and it was incredibly light and tasty. I can't wait to return!

Best poke I've ever had! The woman at the counter was so friendly. I added extra salmon - the fish was incredibly fresh. It's a small place, but the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming

Dragon bowl $18.95 dec 2024
Jo C.

College kid is arriving back home for Christmas and he begs me to have a poke bowl in the car as soon as I pick him up and he doesnt want supermarket stuff...Aloha Cones to the rescue they are open on Sunday till 4pm. The dragon bowl ($18.95) is delicious! Shrimp tempura, spicy ahi, sushi rice, unagi sauce, ocean salad, crab salad, cucumber. It's one of our favorite poke places. The price is a little steep but overall poke prices in hawaii have gone up. They have ample parking behind the shop. You can dine in on the counter or take out. Efficient friendly service and it's one of the few places that makes that delicious Sushi cake. I haven't gotten one yet but plan to for a special occasion. My kids gonna be a happy camper with this dragon bowl!

Ahi poke, spicy tuna and Ora King Salmon

The food was good, the fish was cut well and was fresh. The service was great and they made us feel at home. The ambiance was small town with locals dropping in for lunch. The location it self is bar seating. Portions were generous and its a no frill poke bowl but all the ingredients were on point. Their specialty was the Ora King Salmon, I highly recommend getting this it was delicious.

Sushi Cake

What a fantastic Mother's Day gift! My Son and Daughter-in-law are always coming up with great gifts to bestow on me for birthdays, Christmas and Mother's Day. This particular surprise was dropped off on Saturday and was absolutely gorgeous to look at. It's hard to tell how much that delightful sushi-cake weighed but it was heavy. I wish I had taken more pictures but once we started cutting into it I was just wanting to savor every bite. The roses on top were Ahi, Salmon and Hamachi with Ikura and small slices of sashimi in between and edible flowers to brighten it up. The inside was layered with crab salad, avocado thinly sliced cucumber tasting like a California roll and spicy tuna underneath that. The sides were sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. Actually loved the rice as it wasn't sweet and perfectly soft. A perfect gift idea or a shared pot luck or just served with sake for a friends evening. It's a winner! Business is located on School Street where the old Kam Bakery used to be. Shared parking lot and the owner is very helpful. It came with containers of wasabi, sliced ginger and ponzu sauce. Shoyu was offered but we have plenty at honey.

2 Choice Combo - wasabi masago ahi poke and hamachi sashimi
Sheila A.

The food was delicious, the fish tasted fresh and I'll say the presentation is picture perfect. I guess the only downside was just the nature of everything being in a bowl because I couldn't get to the rice, I had to keep shifting all the fish, cucumber slices, and shredded daikon that sat on top around so I could get to the rice. My friend and I got there when it opened so needless to say we were served very quickly and there was lots of space for us to sit down. What was very nice is we didn't feel rushed to get out of the place after we finished eating as my friend and I were also catching up with each other while we ate. The eating area is pretty much just counter space, which was clean and there was a sufficient amount of space between each bar stool so if the place was completely full, I wouldn't have felt crowded in my seat. I guess it might be because my friend and I are both short, but I felt a little bit like a child as the bowl of food sat only a few inches below my chin because of how high the countertop was relative to the height of the bar stools.

Poke nachos
Stacy S.

I love poke nachos but I have yet to find a place in east Honolulu that makes them, so I did a quick search on my handy dandy Yelp app and Aloha Cones popped up! Although they are about 25 min away, the photos of their poke nachos looked yummy enough to give it a try. I called my order in and by the time I got there, it was ready. The lady at the counter was very friendly and I assumed she was the owner. There was only one other person there - the cook. This is a hole-in-the-wall in Kalihi, with a few parking spots in the back of their eatery. For landmark purposes, they're right next to Rainbow Drive Inn. The poke nachos are usually spicy but I asked for a non-spicy version with shoyu ahi, which they gladly created for me. I got the nachos to go and by the time I got home and popped the lid, I was surprised how much they could fit in that box! The poke was very fresh and sliced appropriately. It came with seasoned poke over chips, drizzled with unagi and aioli sauce, topped with tomatoes, white and green onions. They also had a scoop of crab on top. The reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the wonton chips. I prefer mine on the super crispy side and these were not. They were good, but I've had better. The price was $17.95 + tax which is very reasonable given the amount that they serve. I could make two meals out of it. It's definitely worth checking out and supporting this small business!

Dragon Bowl

Delicious fresh Poke!!!! Our family stopped by here on our way from the airport to our hotel and it was delicious!!!! The staff is very friendly. The location is small, and they don't have tables but a counter with stools. I was traveling with my family (a group of 7), and no one was inside, so we were able to sit and eat there. Yelp reports this business is close on Sundays but they are open on Sundays now. Now let me tell you about the Poke. This is probably one of the best pokes I've ever had! It is fresh, and the flavor is perfect in every bite. The rice is also perfect which makes the bowls even better. I had the Dragon Bowl 5/5, which comes with shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, cucumbers, crab meat, and some other items, and it was exactly what I was hoping for! Several of us had that bowl, and we all agreed it was the best! We also tried the Poke Nachos 5/5, and they were also really good! Everything is prepped fresh when you get there, so the chips for the nachos were fried after we ordered. This is a must try location in Hawaii!

Sushi Cake
Jordan K.

If you're looking for the best Sushi bowl in the world you need to come here! They use fresh fish straight from the auction every day and they prepare their bowls very differently from other typical poke bowls. Their Sushi bowls are very fresh and cannot be compared to any other place to be quite honest. You ever go home after eating somewhere and then think about the place and crave it again ? Yeah that's this place! Just writing this review has me wanting to go back tomorrow! On special occasions to be different I do order their sushi cake which comes with the layers of spicy ahi and crab in the middle and then topped with their fresh sashimi selection of the day and topped with Ikura and edible flowers! This cake always impresses whatever party I am going to or any person that I'm gifting it to! They do not disappoint!

Today I got to taste the Spicy Tuna Poke for $17.75 and they gave a very large portion and it was fresh and good taste to the last bite. Also, the cook/server was very helpful and friendly.

Poke Nachos...yummerz!!
Lori J.

Their poke nachos is the bomb...ahhhh! I've eaten here several times and this is definitely my go to lunch plate. I crave this stuff :)

heart cake
Christina Q.

Aloha, Aloha Cones! :) Ordered a sushi cake for my birthday and I audibly gasped seeing it for the first time. It was perfect. The glitter on the sashimi, the little pink flowers, the layered cucumber and fish underneath -- the attention to detail was apparent on every aspect of this cake. While ordering, the lady I was speaking to was the sweetest and so patient, I had such a great experience! Thank you for the beautiful cake to accompany me on my special day. I must say it was quite difficult to take apart this lovely piece of art.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the fresh poke and sushi bowls, friendly and welcoming staff, and the warm, homey atmosphere. Many also mention good value for portion size.

Ask the Community - Aloha Cones

Do they do sushi cakes still?

Yaassss!! I'd make the order at least a week in advance. Customer service was very responsive and nice!!

Do they have seating?

No, they have a narrow counter that lines the walls but you have to stand and eat in a narrow space. Best to do takeout and eat somewhere more scenic, like a nearby park.

Are they still open for business?

They are still on business. I went there twice recently. Both tasty. Their phone did not work both time for different reason.

Fantastic Sushi, Sizzling Ribeye, and Hospitality That Keeps Us Coming Back!…read more BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): Outstanding sushi, delicious Japanese cuisine, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere! Ginza Sushi is a terrific alternative to the crowded restaurants of Waikiki, offering a wonderful dining experience just a short distance away. Our first visit was so memorable that returning for another meal was an easy decision! The Details: During a previous visit to Oahu, we discovered Ginza Sushi and enjoyed such a fantastic meal that I made a mental note to return. Well, here we are again! This time, several colleagues and I decided to revisit this little gem for dinner, and I'm happy to report that Ginza continues to impress! Located at 310 Kamakee Street in Honolulu, Ginza Sushi is conveniently situated outside the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, yet close enough to make the trip worthwhile. If you're looking for excellent Japanese cuisine without fighting the Waikiki crowds, this place deserves your attention! Ginza has relocated within the past year, moving from its former location just down the street into a newer, upgraded space. The new restaurant is a definite improvement, with an inviting atmosphere that complements the quality of the food and attentive service. Tonight, our group decided to share several sushi rolls and appetizers, along with a mixed chirashi bowl served over seasoned sushi rice. First to arrive was the sizzling prime ribeye! What a wonderful presentation! Beautifully seared slices of ribeye arrived on a piping-hot cast-iron platter, resting atop a bed of Maui sweet onions and sautéed mushrooms, with a generous pat of herb butter melting over the beef. The aroma alone was enough to get everyone's attention! A delicious combination of savory beef, sweet onions, and earthy mushrooms. Next came a plate of gyoza, another excellent addition to our shared meal. We also enjoyed a beautifully presented Rainbow Roll, featuring a colorful assortment of seafood and avocado layered over a sushi roll, finished with a generous sprinkling of bright orange fish roe. Fresh, colorful, and every bit as appetizing as it looked! The mixed chirashi was another welcome addition to the table, offering an assortment of seafood served over seasoned sushi rice. Unfortunately, I became so engrossed in the food and conversation that I neglected my usual photographic responsibilities! Somehow, I only managed to capture pictures of the sizzling ribeye and Rainbow Roll. Apparently, my appetite was working considerably faster than my camera! One of Ginza's greatest strengths, however, is its service. The staff are absolutely wonderful! Friendly, attentive, accommodating, and genuinely eager to ensure their guests have an enjoyable experience. You can tell these folks take pride in what they do. That commitment to hospitality is reflected in everything from the food presentation to the restaurant's welcoming ambiance. It's always encouraging to return to a restaurant after a memorable first visit and discover that the experience wasn't a fluke. Ginza Sushi has now impressed me twice, and I fully expect there will be a third visit whenever my travels bring me back to Honolulu! Maybe even a third visit this trip...! Great sushi, delicious food, wonderful people, and a location away from the tourist crowds. What's not to love? Mahalo, Ginza Sushi! Keep doing what you're doing, because you're doing it exceptionally well!

We had two lunch sets- the premium and the tuna. Each came with miso soup and chawanmushi. The fish was uniformly excellent and each piece almost melts in your mouth with a generous portion size. They use seasoned rice which falls apart more easily but I appreciate that I don't really need to use any soy sauce with the pieces. The standouts were the aburi nodogoro and the chu toro. I thought the ama ebi was a tad chewy but it was still good. We also ordered alacart some scallop nigiri, their special (miso salmon nigiri), and engawa nigiri. The scallop was HUGE so definitely worth the price if you like hotate. The miso salmon was just ok, not a huge fan as the miso flavor was too strong. The engawa was perfect, very melt in your mouth. Prices are reasonable for the quality and care. It is definitely a step up from most sushi spots on the island but below an omakase meal, so it's a nice in between if you're in the mood for a little celebration without the formality/time for a full omakase.

Self note: get the Yamayuki Tuna. (chutoro) It's so good…read more The first time I tried sushi from Ginza Onodera was when they were at the Honolulu Fair last year at the Convention center and I remember their tuna was amazing I wanted more. Which led me to come out to town for their Maguro Fest at their store and let me tell you the quality of their fish, so good it melts in your mouth. Now, originally the prices are pretty pricy which you expect from sushi grade fish. The more fatty the tuna the more pricier it is but you know what treat your self, it's an experience. Since it was a limited time event, I get to try their otoro for half the price and you know what I'd come back for it again at its regular price to treat myself. Orders is through an iPad and you can pick through different categories and the amount of rice for your sushi. Wasabi and ginger is free of charge but if you need lemons for your water or fried item it's a $1. The staff was quick and welcoming which reminds of customer service in Japan. Good quality service and quality food. I'll definitely be back.

I got the salmon sashimi and negitoro sushi, and I overall enjoyed the the fish as it was quite fresh and nicely presented, albeit being on the pricier side.

I know you guys drive by it and see it but have you dined in? If not, this is your sign. My friends and I walked in around 8pm and got seated right away. The place was packed (as it should be) but we were so lucky. The waiter took us to the back room where we sat on those "floor" tables... it was awesome! I felt like I was in Japan. Service was 10/10. Waiter gave us GREAT recommendations as it was our first time. Let's talk about the food. My top 3 dishes of the night -- 1) Uni charwanmushi - to DIE for. So much flavor, so much protein. 2) the beef skewers - incredibly tender. We ended up ordering another order bc it was so good. 3) sushi- Negitoro, torotaku, spider roll and spicy tuna... the rice and fish texture was just so perfect. The fish tasted fresh and the rice to fish ratio was a 10/10. Ambiance: chill, friendly, not too loud and everyone was so respectful. I'm craving it as I type this. So yeah, check it out. You won't regret it.

Haven't been here in years! Mom and dad celebrated their 67th anniversary so we decided to go and…read moreCELEBRATE! It was 4 of us and I made reservations at the beginning of the week. We go the first seating (5 pm) since we need extra space and time to get around. We had a nice spacious table seating. I can only suggest maybe cushions for the chairs for they're hard wooden seats for elderly especially. Our server was friendly and explained a few items. We ordered the top sushi platter but unfortunately she didn't understand and made the mistake of bringing us a different one. It was fine for I ordered a bunch of side dishes. My parents and friend enjoyed almost everything. I think the three items I enjoyed the most were the yuzu pickled vegetables, the yuzu sorbet and the chicken karaage. Those stood out the most for me. For the whole experience it was rather enjoyable still how I remembered it used to be. There is ample parking in the back if you come early or street parking. It was a little difficult with someone with a walker but slowly we moved in and out so just need patience. Pricing was what I was are used to going out to eat sushi nowadays. I think they were supposed to give us a special dessert for I asked ahead of time and it wasn't brought. I didn't want to bother asking but this was a special day for them which I thought should possibly not be overlooked when people make reservations. Luckily I made a cake which they enjoyed at home. However the place is cozy, the food is fresh and the service is good.

Open table doesn't take reservations for a party more than 4 so I called and was able to make a reservation over the phone. It was great because they synced it with my open table account and I got my points. It's a small restauranted located right next to Tonkatsu Kuro. You can park at Ward or at Whole Foods. It's all counter seating and you order everything through a QR code that takes you to toast tab. There aren't any servers that check on you on a regular basis. Everything came out pretty fast. We order a variety of food: rolls, chicken skewer, nigiri and side dishes. You can choose to have the rolls served all at once or one at a time for freshness. I was so hungry I requested to have my 6 rolls all at once and finished it in less than 5 minutes. They have preset menus for nigiri and rolls so if there are any rolls you want to try you need to order ala carte. The fish tasted fresh and clean. The one roll I wasn't really impressed with is the scallops. Overall, it was a great experience. It was intimate and quiet.

Doraku has one of my favorite happy hours from 4-6pm everyday. I recently came by with some friends…read moreto catch up and talk story, and Doraku is the perfect spot for that. I love their small shared plates (especially during happy hour)! Craft cocktails are $4 off and my favorite is their lychee martini or the smoky negroni. On the happy hour for food, my favorites are the salmon carpaccio, spicy salmon handroll, agedashi tofu, shishito peppers, and the chicken karaage. Other must-haves are the hamachi garlic roll and misoyaki butterfish. I love the ambiance here and the service is always great too.

Oh man... I'm sorry to say I was not impressed. While we were seated right away service was slow…read moreand though the food was beautiful and fresh it wasn't delicious (we would have rather had delicious sushi at a $ or $$ place instead of mediocre fancy looking sushi at this $$$ place). I also don't understand how Yelp lists this place as a "good for kids". It's not. There wasn't a kids' menu and the dishes were not kid-palate friendly (other than maybe the basic California style hand roll). For example, the fried tofu had shredded ginger on top that permeated the dish and the karaage had a very mild (but present!) note of spice that reminded me a bit of buffalo sauce. Our waiter didn't even give us a heads up or point us in the direction of any dishes to consider for the kids (surely we must not be the only family who has brought kids to this restaurant). Lastly, I understand that the tempura brownie is popular but after tasting the "tempura" on the tofu I'm sure the brownie is just the star that shines through. The "tempura" on the tofu was gummy and not the authentic Japanese tempura we are used to (my husband, who is part Japanese, said to me "What is this?! Cornstarch?"). This is probably a great restaurant for drinks and hanging out with some adult friends but the rolls and appetizers were just not to our tastes. We were also sat outside when the restaurant was near empty inside and out (we went around 4PM) and it was a hot day (though the AC wasn't particularly cool enough for my preference inside either).
