It also had chives on top if that's something that's not really your thing. The other 2 rolls....delicious!! I was really hungry when I ordered and my eyes were bigger than my stomach because this ended up being 2 full meals for me. They were a bit rice heavy and I think that made them a bit more filling. I ordered as takeout so can't speak to the inside of the restaurant but I'd eat here again!

Things to know: no place to sit (one outside table with 3 chairs is all they have); no cash, card only; the fish is flown fresh from Japan. Now I don't know if all fish is actually from Japan and how true it is, but I did see some styrofoam shipping containers with US agriculture and US customs tape so I believe it. We ordered the macadamia aburi salmon which was a top tier combination of torched salmon, macadamia and a delicious sauce, and yuzu miso poke with ahi which had tuna so fresh it was just melting in your mouth. I also thought it was priced pretty reasonably compared to other poke places I tried in Waikiki, and portions were not huge but decent with lots of fish. I wish I had discovered this place a bit earlier in my trip because I would 100% come back for more.

Visited Sato Seafood twice during our trip to Oahu, and it ended up being one of my favorite poke…read morespots! We had poke almost everyday from different places during our visit, so we got to try a few, and Sato Seafood definitely stood out. We tried 4 different poke options here, but my absolute favorite was the ahi yuzu miso. The citrus flavor was so good, and if you like ponzu, I'd definitely recommend trying this one! Everything tasted very fresh, and the rice-to-fish ratio was perfect! There was just enough rice to have a piece or two of fish with each bite and a little fish left over. The two workers were very nice and friendly, which made both visits even better. The only thing I wish was a little different is if the toppings weren't so much extra. Once you start adding a few toppings, it adds up pretty quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed Sato Seafood and would love to go back.

Tucked upstairs in a cute, narrow townhouse-style building, it already feels like a hidden gem before you even walk in. They offer both indoor and covered outdoor seating, and we chose to sit outside. We stopped in after having a disappointing meal elsewhere, and this place completely made up for it. I ordered the poke bowl, and my then partner had the sliced steak - both were fresh, flavorful, and left us full. We also had no reservation and were seated immediately. If you're looking for a relaxed spot with great food and easy seating, I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

We found Oyster Hale by Crush while looking for a spot to grab some oysters after the hubby got his tattoo, and since we both LOVE oysters, this was the perfect way to celebrate. We chose to sit outside on the balcony, and I'm so glad we did. The atmosphere was great, and it gave us that relaxed Hawaii vibe we were looking for. The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive throughout our visit. Now let's get to the OYSTERS! We ordered two rounds, and they were fresh and delicious. But those SAUCES?! Listen! They didn't serve the typical cocktail sauce we're used to. Instead, the oysters came with lemon and a couple of different sauces that were FREAKING AMAZING. Whatever they're doing with those sauces, KEEP DOING IT! They took the oysters to another level. I also had the Chu-Hi Lychee, and OMG! So refreshing and so good. It was the perfect drink for sitting outside in Honolulu enjoying oysters. I would order that again without hesitation. For my meal, I had the Garlic Butter Shrimp with garlic, butter, sweet onion, and mixed greens. The hubby went with the Volcano Roll with spicy tuna, eel sauce, and spicy mayo, along with a draft Kirin Ichiban. Overall, this was such a great little Hawaii find. Great atmosphere, attentive service, fresh oysters, amazing sauces, and a Chu-Hi Lychee that I could definitely see myself coming back for. Would we return? Absolutely! And next time, don't even ask how many rounds of oysters we're ordering. 5/5

It pains me to write this review because I've put it off for a while, hoping I'd feel differently…read morewith time. My partner and I are huge oyster lovers and eat them regularly - we've easily had hundreds over the years. This was our first time trying oysters in Hawaii, so we were really excited to stop here known for their oysters! Unfortunately, after tasting the oysters, my partner immediately felt something was off. He stopped eating them, checked the others, tried one more, and decided they didn't seem fresh to us. We can't say what caused it - it could have been an issue anywhere along the supply chain, they kept telling us they got them fresh this morning, but we didn't feel comfortable continuing to eat them. The most disappointing part wasn't the oysters themselves, it was how our concerns were handled. We let the staff know right away, hoping for some understanding or a solution, whether that meant offering another dish, or simply acknowledging our concerns and not allowing us to pay. Instead, we were told we'd still need to pay for them, and that was the end of the conversation. Worst customer service I have ever experienced. We paid our bill and left most of our meal untouched. We had ordered a dozen oysters but only ate three before deciding not to continue. We also ordered the oyster shooters, which we didn't end up eating. Instead, we headed upstairs to Genius Lounge, where we had a wonderful meal. It's a shame because we were prepared to eat down oysters too. It was disappointing to have our first oyster experience in Hawaii end this way, and it definitely put a damper on what we had hoped would be a memorable visit. I understand that issues with fresh seafood can happen, and I'm not trying to place blame for something that may have been outside the restaurant's control. I just wish the customer service had matched the situation. A little empathy and a willingness to make things right would have completely changed how we felt walking away. Perhaps this is just not a place where tourists are welcomed.

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

During a visit here with my friends who was visiting from out of town, they both enjoyed their entree with a beer, love the atmosphere- we got to chat and ended up staying until restaurant's closing time. The waitress that day was super friendly, full of Aloha! I love the local foods, everything I tried was very tasty, When dining in I usually go with the 2 item plates, picking all different items ( Lau, Kalua Pork, pork belly, chicekn long rice and sharing family style with extra rice. The food was broke da mouth! During one of my dining visits, I was on my no carb lifesytle and got the Island cobb salad with Kalua Pork ( available in 2 sizes $9./$17.) Lettuce, cucumber, corn, tomato, avocado with Kalua Pig, and sweet onion dressing. Wow, I am glad they have this option for salads. I hope they don't discontinue the Cobb salad as it was so good! During this recent stop I picked up the Pork Belly and Pipikaula plate in short ribs style. This was such a great choice as my family enoyed it . Beer and Pork Belly for pupus and pipikaua ribs for dinner. They have daily specials (beef stew, beef tomato, chicken hekka, sweet sour spare ribs, beef stew, grilled fish, shoyu chicken, garlic shrimp) which sounds good too. You can pick plates in mini or regular, two or three item combo, but few dollars more for crispy pork, smoked meat Pipikaula.

NEW SUNDAY BRUNCH SPOT AT THE ORIGINAL ROY'S!…read more Well, they did it again! They brought a new bloody mary to the menu. Of course, I had to try it. It had a little twist of kim chee, celery and olive on a skewer. It was the perfect kick to a wonderfully manicured cocktail. My friend Dejon N Ohelo Kaopio had a pog mimosa. I forgot to ask how it was? We ordered the crab cake benedict and seared ahi breakfast. The winner of the day, the crab cake benedict. The way they do that sauce was wanting me to pick up the plate and lick it. Folks, it was that good! Take the bread and get every morsel. The seared ahi was good but more like a canape or open sandwich. The bacon was super onolicious. We had an amazing server named Cal. He surprised us with 25 dollar gift cards for dining with them on their first Sunday brunch. Scored! I was able to use my OpenTable credits for my dinning points. They have done rare brunches before but this is here to stay! Don't forget to book your next Sunday brunch and tell me your thoughts! We had the most spectacular views of Koko Head and Diamond Head. It's always such a wonderful way to spoil ourselves

The sun was setting and the shades were drawn but we could still see the ocean view as the sun was settling. It was beautiful. Somewhat nostalgic I ordered an old favorite - the Szechuan Ribs as an entree. Although the portion was generous - 10 ribs total, the taste was not how I remembered it. The ribs had a sticky sauce slathered on the top, and though the ribs were fork tender, the only parts of the ribs that were tasty were the pieces of meat that had sauce on it. I managed to eat 3 ribs only. The pineapple cake à la mode with bits of buttery crispiness on its sides, was exceptional. I usually order the Roy's chocolate soufflé à la mode for dessert but the pineapple will be a top choice for me too.
