After trying omakases at various price points across the US, Mexico, and Asia, I was honestly starting to find the format repetitive and was losing interest. When I crave omakase these days, I specifically look for chefs who travel well and love experimenting with flavors without sacrificing tradition, skill, and quality. That is exactly what makes Hiro No Uchi so special. Chef's 13-course omakase was incredible, some with seasonal fish, some prepared in a novel way. Chef was educating us on the flavors of each course and was really fun to chat with. Oahu always guarantees amazing Japanese food, but this experience stands completely on its own level. It is officially my favorite omakase on the island. They also have a speakeasy in the back but we were too full to drink.
Hiro is an artist. I really enjoyed his unique combination of resources to the fish. You could easily combine resources that could contradict the tastes. And the chef was cool dude. I enjoyed talking to him. Also, loved the speakeasy vibe decor of the restaurant that you would never imagine to be a sushi bar.
On busy King Street, slow down to take notice of this place for omakase. They don't need flashing lights nor decorative window, it's word of mouth that gets patrons making reservations here. If you get fussy about the lack of a parking lot, get over it. It's worth an Uber ride. Or better yet, go on a Sunday when street parking is free. Whatever plans you make, trust, you will enjoy the omakase with Chef Hiro. The entire group was prompt for the 5:30 p.m. seating. That is being respectful for everyone's time. There is cozy counter seating and separate tables are also available. If you cannot hear him over the background music, Chef's server will also gladly explain each dish. The sashimi to rice ratio is nicely balanced. The rice itself is perfectly seasoned. Chef's attention to detail in all the presentation, was spot on, beautiful! Of course all the seafood and garnishings are fresh. This is 5 stars for taste. Chef Hiro took us to flavor levels beyond the norm. Special Mmmmmms for the smokey dishes that he torched in front of us. We thoroughly enjoyed watching Chef Hiro prepare our exquisite meal.
Hidden gem in downtown, speakeasy sushi bar with a variety of fish. Omakase well done with different textures and flavors. Chef Hiro is creative and knows how to combine the textures that enhance the freshness and flavor of every bite. Chef and team were friendly and engaging (which we love) with their customers. Quick and efficient service, attentive. Quietly tucked away in a discreet area but upon entering a super chill , underground vibe. Love this place!
Located in the heart of downtown, this place is a hidden gem and gives off underground speakeasy vibes! There is no dedicated parking garage so it's either street parking or any of the open lots nearby. First of all, let's talk about the decor. The entrance and lobby area has concrete walls covered in vintage Japanese movie posters, Japanese decor and artifacts lining the shelves, and illuminated LED blue and hot pink lights hanging from the ceiling. The abstract art and interior decor feels like an underground anime bar and gives off relaxing and chill vibes. You can definitely tell that the owner put a LOT of thought into creating the ambiance he wanted to portray. Walking further into the restaurant is the bar seating area. The menu is izakaya-style, focusing on small flavorful plates. Each dish was explained to us in depth on where the fish came from (flown in), how it was prepared, and what made it so special. Every dish was tasty and filling, though my favorite dish was the toro! It was soft, buttery, and melted in my mouth. This place is pricey ($150 per person) but definitely worth it for the food and the experience. The service is excellent - the owner and the other employees were attentive, personable, and treated us like valued guests.
My boyfriend and I had a great time for our very first omakase experience with Hiro. Hiro and his wife warmly welcomed us as we waited for the previous seating to wrap up. Hiro is incredibly personable, engaging, and entertaining. We had so much fun chatting with him and Brandy (if I remember correctly) throughout the meal. He really set the ambiance with the lighting, beautiful art, and all these cute little knickknacks + trinkets. Every single course was explained so beautifully. As he was describing each dish, my mouth was just salivating knowing how good it was going to be. Each bite literally felt like that scene in Ratatouille where Remy tastes the cheese and strawberry together and fireworks start going off. The parking lot facing N Nimitz Highway was super convenient, just a short walk from the restaurant, and cost $9 after our dinner. We couldn't have asked for a better first omakase experience and we are so glad we chose Hiro No Uchi!
A nice intimate sushi omakase that you would not come across accidentally. Hiro No Uchi, literally Hiro's house, first appears as kind of a Japanese speakeasy. You have to be buzzed in - for security in nighttime Chinatown. Then , as you enter you're hit w black walls full of Japanese pop and punk art. The lighting adds a neon effect full of color. This is not Edomae sushi. Atsuhiro Kajita fuses familiar flavors into a creative meal of sushi. His rice, the shari, is seasoned with two different akasu vinegar. The toppings, the neta, are good quality. You will not find precisely formed nigiri here. The cuts can look a little uneven or ragged and the seasonings are not perfectly placed. But the flavors speak to how Hiro wants each bite to taste. The meal begins with an otsumami plate, then proceeds to nigiri. Hiro will present the evening's neta precut and portioned in a box. There is a break in nigiri service where Hiro will cook tamagoyaki to order. Miso soup follows the last nigiri and the meal ends with the cooled freshly prepared tamagoyaki. The nigiri pace is balanced. There is a lot of cherrywood smoked and aburi neta. Green onion ginger paste and yuzu spritzed on neta is also common. Keep in mind that there are layers of flavors that appeal to very local tastes. The layout suggests that there are plans to make this a later night hangout with a la carte offerings. There is an adjacent space that will hopefully birth a good cocktail bar. Currently it is BYOB, pending a liquor license approval. Bring your stuff and be prepared to share. The end of the last seating can end up feeling like a drinking get together with friends at Hiro's house.
What a great little omakase. This quaint 10-15 seater sits inside of Chinatown. They have a security door to keep the uninvited out. The space is decorated with interesting art that changes in the light. Portraits of Hiro adorn the walls. I love it. There's a huge tv that looks like a painting. The omakase journey was spectacular and the two things I really liked about it were: 1) the yuzu kosho pairings, 2) the black sesame tamago. Everything else was great but those two things really stuck with me. The entire course was peppered with flavor medleys that were new to me. Overall, I had a great time with a special someone and we'll definitely be back for more!
Wow- where do I start? This is an experience worth every penny. The chef is so personable and kind. The food is SO interesting and unique. We over every single bite. The room is very artsy- filled with fun art and neon signs. We felt like family and were incredibly impressed,
My Hiro! What an amazing omakase experience! We came to our reservation and was buzzed in... walking into the spot it was like a Japanese speakeasy urban street design! Very cool! We were the first ones to get seated so it's first come first serve and you want to be sitting in the front to see Hiro do his magic! Great omakase dishes! Every bite was amazing! So many flavors and so many ingredients infused!! It was just amazing! You can currently BYOA and I think that makes this plus even more of a great experience ...can bring delicious alcoholic beverages to enjoy your dinner and that actually saves alot money! Hope the place continued success as it was one of the best omakase experience thanks to Hiro!
Hubs took me there for my bday...babysitter fell through so baby tagged along. We work downtown, so rushed down to King Street. Former Islander Sake place. Think was an old bank b/c got a vault on the way to the bathroom. I want a vault in my house...looks cool. But anywho...Hiro said he's still renovating but already looks pretty cool. We rolled in a little later than the seating time but he was still prepping the 1st dish, so was actually perfect timing to get our drinks ready, set baby in a chair. Baby really enjoyed the pupu platter with tako, I forget what kine fish, some shirasu in ponzu cup, and ankimo. I'm not an ankimo person, so baby got to whack that...but she ate most of everything else on there too! Sushi was ono...thought the hotate was presented nice (and it tasted good) but almost looked like shirako the way it was cut. I really liked the uni/ikura don...my 2 faves. Baby liked the uni. Chick knows what's good. Something smoked was really good...I can't remember what was tho. Matcha Tamagoyaki was cool to watch being made. Pointers when I do at home! I liked the green and think it should be paired with a piece of ham...make it Dr. Suessy. But I'm not a huge matcha or egg person. Chef and the others were all very nice to baby... interacted with her, told her "hi" after she said it a ga-zillion times. Even made her couple nigiri! Meal ended with a macaron made by one of the workers (apprentice?). Baby ate most of her...what I allowed her to have. She loooved it. We had the old people 5:30pm seating. Seemed a little tight for the next seating and people sitting around waiting. Felt bad b/c that was when baby had a code brown sitch so hubs changed her while i grabbed up all our stuff and polished off our drinks. I was full after the meal...not overstuffed. Perfect amount for me and baby...but I did get super hungry a couple hours later. A great experience...
This omakase has to be one of the best in Honolulu. While the flavors may not be traditional, every sushi was handled with thought and precision. I was instantly taken back to Japan - it was that good. I sat at the bar, where the service was excellent. While it looks like it could be a mix of a Izakaya and a karaoke club when you first enter, the food will transport you thousands of miles away into any Japanese city. Also, have a drink or two the staff (it's BYOB) -- you're guaranteed to have a good time.
My new favorite Omakase spot in Honolulu! All the quality and none of the pretentiousness of a high end sushi spot. Ched Hiro puts so much time and care into each dish and they all have a creative twist. Absolute must visit.

Hiro No Uchi is, hands down, the best omakase experience on Oahu! I've tried omakase throughout Oahu and Orange County, as well as standout sushi spots in Japan. I travel for sushi and care deeply about quality, technique, and the overall experience--and Chef Hiro delivers on every level. Chef Hiro's passion is clear in every course. The fish is exceptionally fresh, with the menu changing based on the best selections he brings in from Japan. His style respects traditional sushi while adding thoughtful, personal touches that make each bite memorable. The atmosphere is moody, intimate, and beautifully designed--ideal for a special date night or a girls' night with plenty of photo-worthy moments. Parking is available on the street, and there's also a lot about a block away. If you love sushi or want an unforgettable omakase meal in Honolulu, Hiro No Uchi is a must-try. read more

Very pleasantly surprised by this somewhat hidden sushi omakase spot in Chinatown. I've never heard of this place before, nor the chef, and was invited by a group of friends celebrating a special occasion. I usually pass on sushi omakase outside of Japan nowadays unless the experience is significantly value added. I loved the decor and vibes. Everything seemed very personal and aesthetically kooky, like I was in a trendy yet intimate late night izakaya spot. The seats were a little empty this night but I didn't mind the specialized attention by the chef. There are two times for seating (5:30PM and 8:30PM). We opted for 5:30 seating. There were 14 courses and a complimentary, customized macaron at the end. Definitely wowed from the get-go, loved the attention to detail and chef's run down of ingredients and where he sourced them (a lot from Japan, some local). Ingredients for toppings were creative. Fish was fresh *although some gristle existed on some of my pieces which I didn't love (and a bone in just one). I would say though, the topping ingredients got a little repetitive as the courses progressed. I did not enjoy the miso soup nor the tamagoyaki at the end (the last two courses). Miso soup did not have deep flavor and there was alot of it. The texture and taste of the tomago was not pleasant, a sweet bite of charcoal and black sesame accents. I would say definitely come once for the atmosphere and food. I think the experience is a little more subjective from person to person. It wasn't the cheapest sushi omakase (a little over $200 per person if you gave a generous tip) without drinks. My favorite bites were the Yellow Stripe Butterfish, the Rockfish topped with a strand of seagrape, and the 5-day aged toro topped with gold flakes from Kanazawa, Japan. There is also a hallway and bathroom that connects to a hidden speakeasy operated by the Easy Company. Cute and intimate as well! read more

We've been to several Omakase places in Honolulu, but thus place is unique. Their preparation is different, smoking some sashimi in front of you before serving. Even their rice is different, using a different dashi making the rice kind of brown in appearance. read more
Hiro now has a brick and mortar. He's located at 25 N. King St. He still does hit Hirokase event, so you gotta check for his availability. IYKYK As always the fish was fresh. His combinations of fish and topping were as well. Not the best quality pics, but I'm posting the ones that I took. If you're in the downtown area and looking for some sushi, try his Omakase. Aloooooooha and happy eating. read more
Wow! What an experience. We were lucky to have visited while it is still in its soft launching phase. This place is going to go off once they open up fully with the concept with tatami mats and a chill area, along with the sushi bar. Chef Hiro has profound knowledge of his produce, where it comes from, and why he uses it in the way he does. We love any Omakase, but Chef Hiro definitely brings a brightness and twist on what could be a high quality but less fun dining experience. I can't even begin to describe the complexity of each nigiri, and you'll have to visit to experience that for yourself. The saddest moment...we're moving in a few months and won't get to visit as much as we we we could. Arigato Chef Hiro. Oishiiiii (He's also got sass and great conversation! Love!) read more

From the moment you buzz in off King Street, it feels like stepping into a hidden speakeasy-style sushi bar in the middle of downtown Honolulu--dark, intimate, and centered around a gorgeous sushi counter that keeps the focus on the food and the craft. Chef Hiro sets the tone right away by laying out the fish for the night and walking the counter through what he's excited about, which immediately makes the omakase feel personal rather than scripted. Course after course is dialed in: pristine zuke maguro, rich ora king salmon belly with that perfect balance of fat and acidity, buttery otoro crowned with gold leaf, and Hokkaido uni that tastes like it just came out of the water. I especially loved how he weaves yuzu and yuzu kosho into the progression so the citrus and heat show up in different ways without ever feeling repetitive. The pacing is spot on for the 13-course omakase, and at around 150 per person it's a strong value for this level of product and execution in Honolulu. The matcha tamagoyaki is one of those signature bites you remember the next day--light, slightly sweet, and just enough matcha to keep it interesting without overpowering the egg. Dessert (in our case a matcha white chocolate tiramisu) closes things out with a clean, not-too-sweet finish that fits the rest of the menu. Service is warm, relaxed, and attentive; they walk you through each piece without turning it into a lecture, and the whole team seems genuinely happy to be there. read more
If you're looking for a traditional omakase then you're in for a surprise. Chef Hiro was mentored by chef Nobu and other sushi chefs. It's a different experience from what you would expect, with that being said I'm very impressed on Chef style of thinking outside the box concept. If you're looking for something different from the same standard omakase that you have at other sushi places then this pace is worth the visit. read more

Hiro no Uchi delivered one of the best omakase experiences I've had in a long time-- and that's saying a lot as someone who regularly visits top omakase restaurants in Japan, New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. What makes Hiro no Uchi truly stand out is his creativity and precision. Every bite felt intentional, with flavor combinations that were both surprising and deeply satisfying. I thought my highlight bite would be the otoro topped with uni, caviar, and gold leaf -- don't get me wrong it was an unforgettable bite, but Hiro topped it. He prepared noroguro with a sweet onion ponzu, sea grapes and takuan that blew my mind! It's dishes like this that remind you omakase is an art form when done right. If you love omakase and are looking for something special in Honolulu, Hiro no Uchi is absolutely worth the visit. A true hidden gem -- and they have tatami seating in addition to the bar! read more

Amazing omakase experience. Each piece of nigiri showcased impressive harmony with every bite delivering beautifully married flavors that showcased the chef's skill and intention. The quality of the fish was exceptional, and the progression of each piece felt thoughtful and seamless. Truly unforgettable and definitely will be a repeat. Located at the old Hanale by Islander Sake Brewery. read more
Hiro doesn't disappoint with his care of handling fish and other seafood to create a fantastic omakase experience. Each savory bite was fresh and satisfying. I love being able to try dishes that I would never order on my own. Thank you to Chef Hiro for a beautiful dinner and congratulations on your brick and mortar location. read more

Located in the former Sake factory sushi place, Chef Hiro totally changed the vide of this place, from a very bright setting to a dark and intimate setting. If you never been to this place, it may be hard to find, there is this metal gate at the front, you have to press the door bell with the camera and they will let you in. I try a lot of Omasake on this island, usually, there is one or two pieces of sushi that I am not 100% care for. But tonight, I like every one of them. I would say chef Hiro add small touch to each sushi, so, this is not like just eating regular sushi. We went there for the 5:30 seating, 8 of us almost took all the seats. One other couple join us later. The background music was too loud, we cannot even able to talk with each other, so, we asked them to turn it down. It is BYOB, so you do save on drink. The Omasake is $150 per person. The sushi is great but we was not that full at the end. Besides the first plate, I counted only 10 items was served and then a miso soup. You see view them in my photos. I wish there was a bit more item they can add on, some of my friend has to go out to eat after because they are still hungry, ha ha. Overall, very nice quality sushi. I will go back for sure, recommended. read more
Great omakase experience. Chef Hiro is an expert in his craft, but also makes it a fun enjoyable experience. Not a uptight and super formal but more of a fun time with friends kind of vibe, but I guess it also depends on who else is sitting at the counter. We had a 7:30 reservation for 6 of us, the restaurant as of now seats 10 people at the counter. We were informed prior to our arrival that dinner would be a little late as the first service started later than expected. While the restaurant is small there was more than enough room for all of us to wait in a cosey lounge while we waited. One of the other guests didn't get the memo that it was BYOB, but it was made clear to us upon making the reservation and on the website. Hiro explained each item as the night went on and kept everyone entertained. 10/10 will be coming back. read more

Chef Hiro is amazing and a genius! He offers fun combinations of flavor and flair. He shows creative preparation and beautiful presentation of all dishes. We were the only ones at the first booking so it felt like a private dinner. Chef Hiro was the only staff on and he was great at managing all tasks in a timely manner. Ambience is cozy yet eccentric. Highly recommend checking out this place! read more
