If you are looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Hide Sushi at the top of Waikiki is an absolute gem. This was easily one of the most beautiful omakase dinners I've ever had here in Waikiki. Despite being in a very populated area, the price was very reasonable. The ambiance sets the mood right away! A breathtaking open-door setting with sweeping, uninterrupted sunset views over the city. But as gorgeous as the atmosphere is, the food truly steals the show. Every single dish was super fresh and packed a complete flavor bomb. The sequence was impeccably curated. Each bite felt like a unique creation that seamlessly built anticipation for the next course. My absolute favorites of the night were the 1 week dry aged akame blue fin tuna sushi (the depth of flavor was incredible) and the Hokkaido uni bowl (pure melt-in-your-mouth luxury). To top it all off, the service was top-tier and seamlessly synchronized. Having two highly skilled sushi chefs alongside three attentive servers catering to just five guests meant the pace was absolute perfection. Dishes were timed seamlessly, water was constantly refilled, and the counter was kept spotless without ever feeling intrusive. A truly world-class omakase experience from start to finish. I cannot wait to come back! read more

Was searching for an omakase place and found this one. They have two different seating times and reservations fill up so make sure to check ahead. It's located inside of sky waikiki and you'll want to make sure you check in with the hostess when you arrive, they will walk you back to the spot. The location is breathtaking and if you do the 5pm time, you'll get to see the sunset which is absolutely stunning. The service is spot freaking on. They are all so attentive, kind and welcoming. But the omakase is absolutely delicious. Every part of the menu is well thought out and meticulously made with love. Fish is fresh and tastes just like you're in Japan. The whole meal was intimate but engaging in all the best ways. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a wonderful meal. read more

More like a sushi experience, omitted some of the more "exotic" ingredients you find in omakase in Japan to make it more acceptable to local palates. Sushi were good, appetizers & desserts were our fav & reminiscent of kaiseki. Service were impeccable, we never had to pour our own drinks. We were not able to score counter seats which would have been more fun. But it was still a great experience. read more

We had a great omakase experience at Hide Sushi. The service was excellent, and each course was thoughtfully prepared and delicious. The chefs paid great attention to detail, and the pacing of the meal made the experience feel special. The restaurant is located in Waikiki Sky, with an intimate bar seating area that only accommodates four guests, making it feel very exclusive and personal. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience and a memorable part of our Waikiki trip. read more

Tons a parking and Hi-de will validate. Validation was fully covered. Back here again! Tucked away behind a hidden door, this speakeasy sushi omakase was such a great find. For the price, you really get seasonal and fresh dishes curated with balance and creativity. There is so much care that goes into to the dish. One of my friends commented on the flavor of the nori on the o-toro roll. They were roasting it as the roll was being made. Chef has prepared his own sauces that is brushed on the fish that highlights the dish. It is such a great vibe here all the time. We meet new friends at the sushi bar with a common love for good food. The staff describes each dish as they are served telling the story of its origin. Chef will personally introduce and answer any questions that you may have. Go here! It's BYOB! read more

Hide - Round 3 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I booked reservations for the first seating and when we got there a few minutes late there was still no one. The restaurant does two seatings one around 5pm and one around 7pm. The earlier seating is only for the bar and they open up other seating at the later time to allow people to take time to enjoy their food. The food was really delicious and filling. We had to take a walk around Waikiki to allow our food to digest. We also enjoyed talking to the staff and the chef who were very personable and took time to explain what each dish was. read more

PARKING: Easy, lots of parking in structure and Hide validates. LOCATION: Sky Waikiki. Take the elevator to the lounge at the top. The hostess will lead you to the (somewhat hidden) spot. AMBIANCE: Lovely. Open air space. Good number of counter seats and some sofa seats as well. If you time it right, you can see the sunset over the ocean while you're enjoying a delicious meal. FOOD: We've tried the omakase twice so far and thoroughly enjoyed both of our visits! The fish is fresh and minimally adorned. No shoyu on the side, all the flavor is in the nigiri! We left full on both occasions. SERVICE: Superb. OVERALL: A truly wonderful time! Reasonably priced given the quality. Highly recommend. read more

The location is easily walkable from anywhere in Waikiki. The service was fantastic, everyone was inviting and attentive. Each course came out after we finished the one before at a pace that was relaxed and left time for you to enjoy the food. The care taken to craft each plate was evident and I showed in every delicious bite. This place was more than I expected. I would absolutely go back! read more

When in Waikiki, you've got to try it. It's delicious and a great experience. Great chef and great team!

The omakase is tucked away on the rooftop of Waikiki, hidden behind a large door at the back of Sky Waikiki restaurant/club. We had a 7:30 pm seating, so it was already dark, but the city lights of Waikiki made for a nice backdrop. Seating was at a high-top counter for eight, while another group of ten men sat together loudly celebrating something throughout the evening. With four at the lounge and the rest at counters, there were about 22 guests total. The space is open-air, which can be hit or miss depending on the weather. On our night, it was muggy and rainy, so there wasn't much of a breeze. The omakase featured about 12 different pieces of fish, along with one appetizer course that set the tone nicely: egg noodles in cold dashi with yuzu and sardine flakes. Other starters included: * Edamame tofu with caviar and wasabi stems * Organic tomato marinated in shiso ponzu * Pumpkin & bean karaage * Poached scallop with okra and seaweed sauce Favorites of the night were the sawara (Spanish mackerel) with yuzu, Chinese cabbage pickle, and calamansi; the aji (horse mackerel) with green onion and ginger juice; and the Hokkaido uni. While the flavors were solid, they weren't mind-blowing. At one point, I joked to the chef that "it just tastes like fish," and he laughed, giving a thumbs-up and saying, "Yeah, it's supposed to be fish." Because of the number of guests, there was quite a bit of waiting between courses. The main chef handled all of the nigiri by hand, while two servers and a sous chef supported him. We were celebrating a birthday, and the host made sure it felt special with a personalized dessert plate and a lively birthday song. That extra attention definitely stood out. The whole experience lasted about 2.5 hours longer than expected but the city views on the way out made for a nice ending, and of course, we stopped for a few pictures. read more

I am not sure why after a month of their grant opening, there is no review for this restaurant on Yelp, it could be we are all searching for "Hide Sushi" but I can only find " Hide" on Yelp and it listed as an unclaimed business. I can not find " Hide Sushi" on Yelp. Hope I am leaving this review at the right place. I did found the address on Yelp matches the address of this restaurant on OpenTable. We have never been to the sky lounge in Waikiki, therefore this is our first experience to enter the area. We have to catch an elevator and then an escalator to go up to the sky lounge. We were there a little bit earlier than our reservation time so we walk around the lounge and enjoy the view. About five minutes before our reservation, somebody came to get us an escort us to the backside to enter a secret door. We were the first customer there and because of that, we got to chat with the chef quite a bit before dinner, they are very friendly people, even the waitress is super friendly. Right now they have only one sitting at 5 PM, from what I heard in May 2025 they will start to have two sittings. It is not BYOB as someone mentioned before, they printed the menu with the date on it, so you can clearly see what they are going to serve, according to the chef, they try to change to menu about every 3 weeks. The Omasake is $120 per person, very reasonable price in Hawaii standard. If we count every single items, it will be 18 items, one miso soup and dessert. The ingredient is fresh, the chef explain to us very detail about the food, what is so special about each item. After this serve each piece of sushi, they will use a paper towel to wipe clean your dish. Talk about attention to details. One of the best part is the dessert, you can ask for refill. We love the Matcha. You can also order more food if you enjoy certain items. Overall, we like our experience and the entire dinner lasted about 2 hours, they also fully your parking for three hours. read more

Everything was fresh and high quality. It's a topnotch Sushi Omakase restaurant on this island with excellent hospitality. Sushi chef Tsukasa san is cool and easy/fun to talk. This is the only Omakase place with a view (city view) and it's open air. You will have a great time at this speakeasy spot. The bonus is that you can enjoy Sky Waikiki for drinks before and take that drink to Hide Sushi. I highly recommend! read more

An amazing new omakase sushi spot in the heart of Waikiki! The sushi chef from Japan brings the best fish and ingredients to life. And everything is directly imported from Japan. The yuzu salt squid was a stand out, but I forgot to take a picture unfortunately. I guess that goes to show how amazing the food was. The service was also impeccable. The servers would take care in explaining each dish to us to maximize the experience. And they were on top of refilling drinks and providing all of our dining needs. I can't forget the superb location. Hide is located in Sky Waikiki, which gives you the best ocean view in all of Waikiki. And you can enjoy this view while devouring true Japanese sushi. 10/10 recommend this for any date night, celebration, or just a fancy dinner in general. read more

I brought my parents in law from Japan here. I was nervous they wouldn't like sushi in hawaii compared to the sushi in Japan, but they LOVED Hide. Let's start with the ambiance - It's an indoor outdoor Japanese speakeasy vibe so it's very cool at night with the trade winds and low light so it gives an elegant atmosphere. The staff - were very friendly and all were bilingual in Japanese and English. Personally, the sushi just tastes better when you know the staff and chefs behind the food are Japanese. They were very friendly and smiley. Something you may not experience in Japan. This made it unique. Not many Japanese restaurants have great service, are polite, AND are friendly on American standards. The food - was delicious! My favorite was the ika (squid sushi) with yuzu (Japanese citrus) salt! Wow! I've been to Japan quite a few times but never had that pairing before! The sushi is fantastic but surprisingly the miso soup at the end was satisfying too. It was a perfect way to end our main course. The dessert- my favorite of the 3 part dessert was the mango pudding. It was nice to have a refreshing island twist to a dessert popular in Japan. My Japanese parents in law said they would come back again - so it was great for Japanese standard as well. 11/10 would come back again! read more
