Service was really good here. The Korean owner took my order for a Maui platter that I wanted to take to my doctor's office for them to enjoy for the holidays. It's a good platter for 3 people or less IMO. It took them about 20 minutes to make my order since I had ordered it in store bc I wanted to see what the current prices were before ordering. I also made it a point to take photos for a more current pricing point to help yelpers like myself. Aloha Sushi has always been my go-to for party platters and was always a hit as an after school snack. I wish I had time to take a photo of my order today but I was in a rush to get them their lunch in time! Parking is in the back of the building there's about three customer stalls in the back on the left hand side of the building. I went around 11:39 AM and it was just me and one other lady in there but it started to fill up with ppl real fast due to it being lunch time! read more

Lunch in Nu'uanu, Honolulu, Hawaii... Located right next to Nu'uanu Hair & Nails, this cozy shop is tucked in the corner of a two-story building. Aloha Sushi has several locations such as Waikiki, Airport, and Downtown. They are convenient, relatively inexpensive, and are mainly a takeout business. Service was efficient and helpful. I was asked if I needed chopsticks, wasabi, a receipt, or shoyu... I didn't need anything! I ordered the Lunch Bento and the Nigiri Dinner Bento to compare. They're the same price. They both have tamago, ahi, unagi, and tako. The dinner Bento had tobiko, salmon, and ikura while the lunch Bento had cucumber and maki sushi. Maybe I should return when I need to bring something for a potluck... my family would like it! read more

Tasty sushi. My favorite is the dragon roll and nato roll. Everything is fresh and delicious. The sushi rice is also not mushy but cooked just right. Parking lot in the front of the restaurant. read more

Fresh and made to order. Friendly staff who was very detail oriented asked if I needed a for or chopstick and offered ginger shoyu and wasabi. Convenient parking right out front. This is my new fave lunch spot. I got two California maki and two California hand rolls all under $20. read more

My go to for Sushi always fresh friendly staff they put vinegar in the rice, which gives it a little punch which we enjoy. It's my Japanese friend's favorite sushi. She's currently at Kuakini Hospital and this Aloha Sushi's almost next-door. She was going to spend the rest. I'm so happy we found this place because we've been ordering sushi which is more expensive and the other place is more out of the way and way more expensive thanks for reading. Happy Fourth of July. read more

This is probably my favorite take-out sushi place in this part of town, and I live super close to it. I've lived in the area for over five years now, but didn't know about this spot, nor would I have sought it out, but a friend of mine took out from here for dinner and shared with me. She got the dynamite roll, which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with spicy tuna and a spicy hot sauce. It was stellar! I decided to take out from here prior to a beach day and got the dynamite roll, rainbow roll, spicy tuna, natto, and vegetable hand roll and cucumber maki. I am only knocking down to four stars because I was less impressed with the food this time - the fish just seemed more obviously "previously" frozen (which of course I already knew given the prices), but we all enjoyed our sushi nonetheless. There is a huge menu so I'm looking forward to trying different items and it's nice to know I can get decent take out sushi so quick and close to my house. I'm looking forward to self soothing with sushi when I have a hard day and want yummy food that is quick, convenient, and delicious. What with it being sushi, it will definitely feel like a splurge without breaking the bank! read more

Support small local businesses! This aloha sushi location offers a large menu with generous portions, fresh tasty sushi, and very reasonable prices! The workers are kind to answer any questions and accept any modifications if needed. My family and I love their rolls- tuna, spam, philly, tamago, and more!! My fave is definitely the dynamite maki, which is a tempura rolled topped with spicy ahi and sweet chili sauce. They don't skimp out on the filling on their hand rolls! Located right next to the 711 on Nuuanu and has its own parking lot and some outdoor seating. Check them out for your sushi cravings!! read more

Great spot I discovered yesterday while I was in town. The prices are really good compared to most sushi places I've been to & the owners greeted me weight away & were very polite. I was able to get a bento and a musubi for $13 and it was pretty good. I'll definitely be coming back in the future & I highly recommend. read more

I still go to Aloha Sushi all the time. Even after relocating from the Salt Lake area to Nu'uanu 10 years ago! It's so nice to have a place like Aloha Sushi as the only other option is to go to 7-11. The food is 96% always ON fresh and healthy. It's great to live nearby. I don't have to worry about harmful ingredients. I appreciate Aloha Sushi I'd suggest you check it out next time you're in the valley of Hawaiian royalty and King. -Aloha read more

I placed a take out order here, and placing it was quick. They didn't ask for card or anything like that. Name wasn't needed also. When I got in, parking was super easy to get. It's a small shared parking lot with Aloha Sushi being at the bottom under the stairs. Cute little place, with the entrance & register being right there. Just one table avail inside & a table right outside, so not a place for dine in. The price was a bit pricey. I paid $6 something for 2 spicy ahi rolls. They only take care for $7 & up. The lady didn't greet or smile, just asked what I order. Had to wait a few mins for my order, so maybe a total time of 10 mins from my call in. Anyway, got the food, & it looked good. It was kind of disappointing because the spicy ahi roll was super plain. Just the ahi & spice. No cucumbers or anything. I was surprised because the price of it was too much for what I received. Ahi you could tell wasn't like fresh, it was prob pre frozen & was diced into cubes. I probably wouldn't have stopped by here if work didn't have me close by for a training. Anyway, it's a 4 stars for me, as I wish the sushi roll was at least a little more pleasant lol. read more

I'm going to call it. Aloha sushi has the best handrolls out of all the fast food "grab and go" places. Way better than 7/11 (no doubt!), and Kozo sushi. Most other places' handrolls are skinnier than Aloha sushi, with less ingredients. I ate a California roll at Kozo the day before I ordered the same roll at Aloha so I really feel like I can give them a solid comparison. Kozo's sushi rice was colder, making it seem less fresh. The avocado was non-existent. You might as well order a crab roll there. The sushi roll was thin, and after eating 2 rolls from Kozo, I was still hungry. Aloha sushi's California roll comes correct! It was stuffed so full of crab, avocado and cucumber, the seaweed wrapper busted at the seam! I could really taste all of the ingredients together. The rice was still warm and delicious. The roll was prepared super fast and the lady at the counter was very nice. She even gave me 2 napkins (I guess she could tell I would burst my roll and get sushi all over myself). Location is convenient, on Nuuanu avenue in a quiet little building with plenty of parking. I also saw burgers on the menu! read more

5 stars for quality sushi and service at an affordable price! Read below for a detailed review of each component. Lunch bento set: This 15 piece nigiri bento is so tasty! I love all the variety! And a simple yet noticeable detail...the cucumber and daikon rolls are always nice and crunchy, leaving your taste buds feeling refreshed. Service: Always friendly! I've been here several times and each time, the woman who takes my order is pleasant and patient (even though I take a while deciding what to order). Ambiance: This is a "hole in the wall" joint that can easily be missed when driving by. Great option for take-out, although there is one table inside (2-seater) and a couple (literally 2) tables outside that seat 2-4 people. Overall experience: Love this place for quick take-out without sacrificing quality. Final words: Don't let its tiny size and hidden locale dissuade you...give them a try! Shameless plug: Like my reviews? Feel free to also check out other things I'm into by following me on IG: @kim_n_theworld :) LOVE my reviews? Prove it by voting. *wink* Thanks for reading! read more

A friend recommended we try this place for a late lunch since its kind of in our neighborhood, needless to say I was just a little hesitant with the reviews being either love it or loathe it. The owner was very nice as was her daughter who was doing homework. Of course they have all the essentials you would expect from a typical take-out sushi place like this with the exception of a number of Korean bowls and they serve burgers and fries lol. This has to be the only place that does this, and I will try it later. My friend and I shared a chicken and beef donburi and we each got our own order of the spicy nigiri (3 ct. per order). The chicken and beef don was really good no kidding and the portion was enough for two people and I can eat a lot. The chicken had a char and glaze to it and it was really soft, the beef was tender and flavorful and came with grilled onions. It was just chicken and beef over rice with a little furikaki but it had such great flavor, I was very impressed. The spicy ahi nigiri honestly reminded me of the spicy ahi nigiri at Sushi II in the Sam Sung Plaza. It was'nt the heavy mayonayze based creamy style of spicy ahi but rather a sharper spicier version that you find at more traditional sushi bars. The ahi tasted fresh and packed some heat that kind of snuck up on me. If their spicy ahi always tastes like this then this might just be my new favorite place. I took pics of what we ate and am certainly planning on coming back real soon. read more

What more could you expect from a corner sushi spot made with a brand new sushi chef from Japan? The food was excellent. I have tried the food from Aloha Sushi before in various locations and this has got to be the best yet. I tried various foods from the maki sushis such as inari to fancier rolls like their "French Kiss". This roll was rice and tobiko encrusted on the outside with shrimp tempura with lettuce in the middle. The tempura was not too crunchy nor flimsy; it was just right. The service excellent and although their English is not superb, their Japanese and Korean abilities were top notch. I can speak English and my Korean isn't too bad, but to be able to speak three is respectable! Although I am not a big fan of desserts, they have slush drinks for the kids. My kid brother (8 years old) enjoyed it so I hope your little ones enjoy it too! The parking lot is small, but they are a corner sushi spot, so I think it is fairly adequate for this place. So after reading this, I ask again, what more could you expect from a corner sushi spot? Good food? Check! Good service? Check! Good parking? Good enough! Then I guess just like the yelp description for five stars: Woohoo! It's good as it gets!" Cheers my fellow yelpers. read more

Aloha Sushi - Good selection + awesome cooking = ono food!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Used to frequent this Aloha Sushi more often when it was located in the Walgreens shopping complex down the street. Kind of forgot about it for a while as it's now tucked into a small office building next to the 7-11 on Kuakini Street. Very easy to miss. Stopped by on a whim while doing errands in the area and are very glad we rediscovered it!!! In addition to the standard sushi offerings, they also offer a variety of hot items (bowls, curries, burgers, fries, etc.) Our new favorite is their chicken curry bowl and crunch don (???). Staff was very friendly, pleasant and helpful - despite the language barrier. Food was prepared quickly. Several parking spots in front. We will back! read more

This new Aloha Sushi is located next door to Kuakini/Nuuanu 7-Eleven and is housed in the red brick office building that has a beauty salon and travel agency for neighbors. Parking lot is kind of small, ten stalls plus a handicapped and reserved parking stall. Parking lot was fairly empty when I went which was nice for me. Be careful walking into the store itself because the flooring they installed is higher than the outside part of the store. I almost tripped. This place looks like a hole in the wall. If you have five people inside the store than it would be packed already. There is only one table with four seats for eating inside the store and three more tables outside. Never had alfresco sushi before, that's a first. First thing I noticed about the menu is the price. Looks kind of pricey to me, at least compared to the old location where the Nuuanu Walgreens is going to be. Plus I just paid $7.25 for a maki mono at Kozo Sushi at high rent prone Keeaumoku and they're asking for $8.99 for a similar type maki? Call me skeptical. They have a menu posted outside the store which is nice but I wish they would give descriptions of their maki mono. Would like to know what is a French Kiss, Kiss of Fire, Rock N Roll, BLTA maki, Volcano Maki, Crazy Seafood Maki, Tiger, Dragon, Rainbow, Spider, and Dynamite maki is. They have pictures inside but i'm near sighted and can't see too good. Anyways, as a creature of habit I decided to order the Spicy Ahi Tempura maki ($8.99+tax) which sounded like Kozo's Dragon maki. The cashier asked if I would like a free bowl of miso soup. For $9 sushi, of course I want free miso soup, so yes please! There was kind of a big order in front of me so there was a bit of a wait. Wasn't in a rush so no problem for me. I was tempted to get their iced coffee and a Nestle Tollhouse cookie. They have mochi ice cream too. Tempting, oh so tempting. The miso soup was really good. There's wakame, green onions and tiny diced tofu in the soup. Since I ordered it to go they put a piece of cardboard under the bowl to keep the heat off of my sushi. That was a nice touch. The Spicy Ahi Tempura maki is an 8pc uramaki sushi surrounded with toasted sesame seeds and enclosed with nori, spicy ahi, shrimp tempura, lettuce and cucumber and topped off with sriracha mayo. The lettuce and cucumber gave the sushi a nice crunch. The shrimp tempura was more plump than normal (thumbs up). The spicy ahi was also nice and chunky (don't think there was sesame oil in this one). Definitely different than Kozo's. Can't say who's better. Kind of a toss up but if I had to pick, I'm leaning towards Kozo because they have more ahi in it, but less rice. Free miso soup is a nice touch although don't know if it's part of their Grand Opening or if it's a regular occurrence. For 9 bucks I hope it is. 31 Yelps Review Challenge (27/31). read more

Dear Aloha Sushi, The lady helping me was extremely confused. First, she did not seem to know you had a natto-kimchee roll even though it was on the menu. Second, when I asked her to explain the fancy rolls she got them completely wrong. I ordered what she described as "A california roll with shrimp tempura" and received some sort of raw fish roll. I detest raw fish. With a passion. I also ended up with two natto kimchee rolls even though I had only ordered one. The funny thing was, the order took LITERALLY over twenty-five minutes to prepare. and we were the ONLY order being prepared until a woman came in fifteen minutes later. And the strangest part was that we could smell the tempura being fried yet I received a roll of raw fish with no tempura. That I unfortunately did not open until an hour later. What?!! It was like ordering sushi in the twilight zone. The natto-kimchee roll was delicious, though. So I was glad I had two of them. Vegetable roll was bleah. You should work on that. Sincerely, Angela read more

Aloha Sushi has been one of my favorite lunch places to go since working in Nuuanu. Their lunch bentos are consistently tasty for a reasonable price (under $9). The spicy ahi has quite a bit of kick to it which is enjoyable since I love spicy food. I do wish they gave more chicken katsu sauce and wasabi to go with the meal. The place is quite small so it is usually best to take-out. Overall, great lunch spot with reasonable prices and quality food. read more

Nice people, excellent service, very clean! Yummy sushi!

It's great that Aloha Sushi reopened after leaving Nuuanu Shopping Center. This location is actually nicer with an outdoor seating area. Menu is similar like before but there are more donburi options. I don't recall seeing Korean Sushi like they had before which I kind of miss. They do seem to have more drink options. Service is pretty fast and friendly. While the parking lot is smaller, you compete with less neighboring businesses and I've never come across being left out of a spot. I do like how smooth the pavement is. I remember going off-road in Nuuanu Shopping Center's parking lot. Anyhow...a good spot for sushi in the Nuuanu area. read more
