    Chirashi
    Todd O.

    Great service, incredibly fresh sashimi. Small but well appointed restaurant. Incredibly efficient and delicious.

    Was expecting sushi here to be amazing. Small place but they did a great job with the layout to maximize number of tables/parties. Loved the salad. It was perfect and the chirashi looked so elegant.

    We got the chirashi bowl to go and it was fantastic. The fish was super flavorful with a great variety and really fresh quality throughout. Definitely worth the $40 -- honestly a ton of food too. Great takeout option if you're craving good sushi without the full sit-down experience.

    Diamond Head Roll
    Nataliana E.

    Furasoto sushi was amazing! It is a cute little spot located in Waikiki. We visited on a Tuesday evening, and didn't have to wait to be seated. The staff was all very friendly and polite. I ordered the Diamond Head roll and it was some of the best sushi I've had! I will definitely be back.

    Delicious and tasty sushi! It was very refreshing and diverse in flavors. Totally recommend this place on a good meal. Place is a little small, suggested for parties of 4 or less. Otherwise, very delicious.

    Best sushi place I have been to on Oahu so far. Clean cute small sushi place in Waikiki that has amazing fresh . I can't believe how good this place was. My friend and I shared the Rainbow A combo. Loved every bit!!! Service was so fast and kind. I will be taking my husband here soon!

    Hot sake

    One reason we absolutely love Hawaii is the fresh seafood, and our first visit to Furisato did not disappoint! We ordered the Waikiki Bridge, which came with 16 pieces of sushi rolls and 12 pieces of sashimi -- salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. Each bite melted in our mouths. For the quality and portion size, it was totally worth the price. We also enjoyed the hot sake, which had a light lychee flavor -- not too sweet, just perfect for our taste. The restaurant itself is quite small, so be prepared for a possible wait to get a table. The atmosphere, however, was pleasantly balanced -- not too loud or crowded. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and even the bathrooms stood out with their beautiful décor and cleanliness. Overall, a wonderful dining experience -- fresh seafood, great service, and a cozy Hawaiian vibe.

    The best sushi! The fish is SO fresh. Love how cute the restaurant is. We could've eaten here everyday! The staff is very friendly and food came out quick. Also ordered the mini udon soup and loved that it came in such a perfect mini size. Go- to sushi spot in Waikiki!

    Went in for a drink and a couple pieces of nigiri. After having the salmon and the shrimp nigiri, I needed more... asap! I ended up ordering the golden c combination right after. I was left alone to enjoy my time to self, but whenever I looked up, the service was quick to acknowledge my wandering eyes. I'd say very attentive.

    This restaurant is very close to our hotel in Waikiki. We walked past a few time and saw a lot of people inside and they do not accept reservations so we thought we are out of luck. Turns out during weekday lunch time it's not as busy, we went and got seated in just 5 minutes! Being a tourist on Waikiki beach, it's actually surprising to us to find out the meal price on their menu are rather reasonable, we ordered two set meals and they came quickly. The sushi chefs are very friendly and professional, greeting all the customers. The food are fresh and delicious. Have to give them a high mark for this.

    The sushi was amazing! It was just what I was hoping it would be. I found this place just walking down the street. I was shocked how small it is! We put our name on the list and only had to wait about 15 minutes. It is decorated parsley but authentic. The staff was very nice.

    C Y.

    Everything was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The sushi tasted high quality, the portions were generous, and every dish we tried felt carefully made. The service was friendly and the whole experience felt special from start to finish. Easily one of our favorite sushi spots in Hawaii, and we'll definitely be back.

    Green tea
    Kathleen W.

    Walked in and sat at the counter. This place is very small but looks to turn tables quickly. It was been around for a long time and has locations all around the world. Sushi was very fresh. They also had toro which was exciting. We paid $15 per piece. The green tea was delicious! My one negative comment is the cleanliness. The back wall behind the counter was filthy. It makes me uneasy to see food/liquid crusted on a wall at a restaurant.

YES CRAB MISO SOUP! ) and one with a mix of everything. They were all delicious. They even have recommendations on how to enjoy them best especially if you get the egg yolk shoyu to add to it. I highly suggest you do - absolute game changer! Our little one enjoyed a small bowl of udon as well. The ambiance is chill considering the seating is very limited (15 seats approximately). It's all bar seating arrangement where you can see the staff cook the food. Oh, by the way, we saw Amy Hill here! You know the auntie with the butcher knife who works at the restaurant in 50 First Dates!

    I understand the hype. The best comparison I can make is this: what Ichiran did for ramen, Totoya…read morehas done for seafood bowls. It takes something familiar, strips away the unnecessary decisions and turns it into a process that's incredibly easy to enjoy. The restaurant is tiny, but everything feels deliberate. The staff keeps things moving without making you feel rushed, our waitress was genuinely wonderful with our kids and even the people waiting around us couldn't have been friendlier. It felt like everyone was in on the same little secret. The first surprise wasn't even the fish. It was the cabbage salad. Shredded cabbage, crispy noodles, miso yuzu dressing. That's it. Somehow it's one of the best salads I've had in a long time. It's the kind of dish that makes you wonder why nobody else bothers to do something so simple this well. Then came the negitoro bowl. The ikura shower is absolutely worth the extra ten bucks. Yes, it's a little theatrical with the bell ringing, but if you're going to pour an avalanche of salmon roe over my bowl, you might as well make a show of it. The crab miso soup upgrade is another easy yes. The crab almost feels like they're apologizing in advance for ruining every ordinary bowl of miso soup you'll have afterward. It isn't perfect but nothing is. The rice was a little clumpy and needed to be broken apart. After a while, the flavors begin to blend together more than I expected and those beautiful sheets of nori lose the battle against Hawaii's humidity pretty quickly. They look incredible, but they become soft before you can really enjoy them. I also wish I could order another bowl of that cabbage salad by itself. Our kids demolished the udon. Perfect texture, comforting broth and probably the easiest win of the entire meal. Will we come back? Absolutely. Totoya isn't trying to reinvent Japanese food. It's taking a handful of excellent ingredients, removing the friction and executing the experience with remarkable consistency. Sometimes that's what great restaurants do.

I still think tamafuji have the better crust imo (soft, airy, yet crispy bite ). You'll know what I mean if you are able to get a seat. This might be 2nd best breading on island. Gyukatsu 4/5 I really enjoy the Wagyu. It's meaty and buttery at the same time. Some Wagyu tends to be more buttery and fatty but this Wagyu has a good balance of both. I do wish the breading was fried a little more because I think it's not as fried compared to the other meats. You can tell it's lighter. Also compared to the other meats, the breading tends to fall apart. Shrimp 5/5 Great. Juicy. Crispy. Good breading. Chicken 5/5 Tender, juicy for a chicken, and crispy. Good breading. I can tell they put some effort into cooking this. If they did that with white meat, that's pretty good. Kurobata 5/5 Juicy. Good breading. I ordered individually because didn't want to risk getting the fat cuts. Good balance of lean meat and fat now. Service 2.5/5 I feel like they focus on larger parties more so than solo diners. Had to ask to get my water, miso, and rice refilled. Personally, I care more about the quality, effort, and taste of food and don't care too much about service and ambiance so that didn't bother me much.

Not only that, but I have to bring my significant other along to share in the deliciousness! I don't know how I'm just now talking about Marugame Udon. When I first came here, my friend and I decided to give it a try because we saw the longest line and wanted to see what all the hype was about. There was a couple in front of us who said they come here every time they visit Hawaiʻi and that it's a must-do stop on every trip. When you walk in, it's a small place. You can watch a team member washing the noodles and portioning them into bowls right in front of you. Then you choose your bowl size, small or large, and select your broth. After that, you get to choose from a variety of fried items and other à la carte options displayed on a warmer. Seating can be limited because of how busy this place gets. You line up to get your food, pay for it, grab your condiments, utensils, and a cup of water, then find a seat and enjoy. I've already been here twice, and after writing about my experience, I need to make a third visit happen very soon! There are not enough days off in a week to enjoy all of the amazing food on this island, but I'm going to do my best to experience as many places as I can. This place is totally worth the 45-minute commute from Wahiawa.

The spicy chicken was not very spicy at all, maybe a 1 or 2 out of 5 stars. It was refreshing and reminded me of Chinese chicken salad with the Chinese parsley and peanuts. The sukiyaki tofu was simple but good and not too sweet. The ambiance made me feel like I was in Japan and the staff were very attentive. Great service! The people preparing the food are right in the center and they are a well oiled machine cranking out dishes without breaking a sweat or raising their voices. The noise level can get a bit loud from diners having a good time.

This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy!
