I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at Honolulu Sushi! Some sushi places can be hit or miss, but I am glad I chose to order from here. The portion sizes were larger than expected and I was very satisfied with the quality. I ordered the California Roll and Maki Dynamite Roll, and my partner had the Honolulu Maki Roll. Both of the "maki" rolls were exceptionally delicious, and the California roll was as expected. Nothing spectacular but still good quality. I usually get more than one roll when ordering sushi because it doesn't tend to fill me up but with these portions I was full after one roll. I was surprised at how fast the restaurant prepared my order and how quickly it was delivered via DoorDash. Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Sometimes the hole-in-the-wall restaurants end up being the hidden gems. Honolulu Sushi definitely fits that description. The restaurant itself is pretty small but it wasn't very crowded when we went there. We ordered/paid at the counter and then got us a table. The menu ranged from sushi to poke bowls to chicken katsu. I ordered the crunchy bowl: spicy ahi on rice with some type of tempura crunchies and tobiko on top. It was so delicious. My parents ordered the spicy bento which came with different types of sushi & a spicy ahi bowl. For just $2 more per meal, we also got miso soup and salad. Everything looked and tasted great! The woman helping us was very nice and I'm glad she helped me to decide on ordering the crunchy bowl. If I ever need a quick, yet delicious bite to eat in the area, I'll be sure to keep Honolulu Sushi in mind! read more

4 1/2 Stars. Honolulu Sushi was a pleasant surprise with so many similar copycat places to choose from. The quality was definitely better than average and the prices were fair. Service was good and the selection was extensive. Overall a good experience. I plan to return soon. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars. Definitely the worst meal I've had in Honolulu and I live here. I can count on one hand how many bad meals I've had here and this place tops it. All rice, little to no filling and the fish did not taste fresh. Worried I'm gonna end up on the toilet before the day is over. read more

Food was excellent and service was exceptional! Prices were below average and portions were very appropriate and slightly bigger than I thought. I would definitely come back again. It's a must try!! I got a dynamite roll which was $9 but huge! The tempura shrimp was so perfectly crispy in the sushi and made it absolutely delicious. I also got the poke bowl which was definitely a lot larger than I had thought. Very good deal for $8 and you get sushi rice (free with bowl) or brown rice ($1 more). All orders also come with the choice to make it a "set" for $2 more which includes salad and miso soup side. They also have bento sets with varying options in combination with a set of 4 classic nigiri. The waitress even gave us a miso soup to try for free which was very nice of her. She made very nice and friendly small talk. She also gave us a card where if you spend so much money you get $6 maki for free. read more

Excellent service and such kind staff! We had an amazing visit: I assume the manager was the one who played with my children and suggested menu items, very enjoyable! "Your salmon is great!!" Says the 6 year old. Will definitely return! ~the nice family from California! read more

California Maki and tofu soup was really good. Fast and friendly service. The Aunty and Uncle running the restaurant are super nice.

If I could give this restaurant 6 starts I would!!! This is the most fresh, most flavorful sushi that I have ever eaten in my life, and that's saying a lot. Not to mention how affordable the food is with such amazing quality. You can truly tell how much love and care is put into each meal, and it eating the sushi creates a feeling that I have never experienced before. Not to mention the amazing service as well! The owners of this wonderful restaurant are some of the kindest, most sincere people I have ever met. As soon as my large family had walked into the restaurant, they greeted us with open arms and large smiles! The ambience of the restaurant also had this home-like cozy feel to add that just added to the warmth in my heart that also came from the food. An extremely important factor in my 6 star rating was the fact that they were able to address my allergies and made adjustments according to the things that I ordered. I have many allergies, making eating out at restaurants very difficult at times, but I have never felt so safe and comfortable eating! If you are thinking about eating at the wonderful Honolulu Sushi, PLEASE DO!!! The ambience, service, and delectable food made this restaurant a place that i will never ever forget! read more

Loved Honolulu sushi. The one in the mall closed and I was disappointed but finding they had one still opened made me happy. This one is actually better than the one located in the mall. read more

Finally got my tax refund! Decided to treat myself after a month of cooking at home and eating oatmeal : ) Hands down best Gochujang bowl. I've tried many in the past but always came back to Honolulu Sushi's. More expensive than some others but good fish! The gochujang sauce is also the best! I love the flavor of the sesame oil in the rice too. read more

Talk about fresh sushi! I love the giant cuts of fish on the nigiri and the delicious rolls. I tried the unagi roll and the spicy ahi roll. We also had the nigiri set #2 and my hubby and I were stuffed. It all comes with salad and miso soup for each person. We talked to the owners about how they go to the fish market, and how they just opened a new location at Dole (there is also one in Ala Moana food court)! I love the music (opera - kinda random) and natural wood benches. Photos of the sushi really help you to decide what you want. The food came out fast and if I had any tips to make the experience even better, it would be to offer hot tea or maybe a dessert choice like mochi ice cream! read more

Their sushi is so delicious, I live for the Cali Tempura maki, if you haven't tried it, you must!!!

Although a little pricey, would recommend this place when buying a platter for a potluck/party. I like Honolulu Sushi because you can customize your platters. They are usually pretty accommodating with substitutions - sometimes for a fee. Sushi: fresh! Like I said, great place for sushi platters. My favorite is dynamite maki (spicy ahi on top and shrimp tempura in the inside) Call ahead. They need at least a couple hours to prepare/organize large platter orders read more

This food is super! And it's great I definitely recommend this food place. It's a hidden gem.

Very good flavor. Got the Unagi sushi Bento that was Unagi was amazing. Very good flavors. I definitely would eat here again.

Ordered a sushi platter. While the price was affordable I'm afraid the quality just want great. I also thought the spicy tuna roll was over done with too much Mayo. read more

Portion sizes are pretty good. One in a half rolls will fill u. For a child half roll is good. Drinks are by the bottle or can. It's kind of like a take out place with seats. If u eat in you get complimentary miso soup which is pretty good. Small place with 2 workers that are extremely friendly and hustles, between orders and making sushi. Sushi itself if fresh. Dynamite was the best we ordered. Shrimp was nice and crispy. Energy roll had plenty of unagi just how I like it. Honolulu could use a little more Ahi as not each piece had fish but it was a good combination for those that don't like too much fish. We also ordered a spicy ahi which I felt we got more ahi with the dynamite. If I had to do it again dynamite and energy are definitely go to orders. Price is fair for sushi of this freshness and portions. Ratio of rice to sushi was on point. read more

We browsed sushi places for lunch and figured it would be hard to go wrong in Hawaii. I am a big sushi fan and I got the California roll, which I admit is a bit of a rookie order (it was hot and I wanted something light and hard to screw up from a delivery standpoint). We ordered to our hotel and in short, I would NOT recommend. My roll was legit 75-80% white rice with minimal filling. They also forgot the wasabi, which is pretty ridiculous. I will admit this place appeared significantly cheaper than other options, which was what attracted us to it. Get what you pay for I guess. Anyway, we hit a few other sushi places that I've also reviewed. They were great so would highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

Accidentally came here after my friend told me about Hawaii Sushi. Worst mistake I ever made unless you think being stuck in the toilet for 3 hours during a global pandemic is a good experience. To be honest I'm not surprised as the cashier had rather ungroomed long hair. Basically if you want a get out of work pass for diarrhea go for it, if not might wanna try Hawaii Sushi (they even get uni sometimes). read more

I ordered thru door dash and I specifically asked to separate the dashi from the noodles as I always do when ordering saimin or anything with noodles and soup. The directions was not followed when my food was delivered. I called that restaurant myself and told the lady that answered what was the issue. I did have an attitude at first because I was mad. I found out the lady that answered was actually the owner and she right away was apologizing and was willing to make another order for me. Unfortunately I could not pick it up due to the fact that I informed that lady that I am at work and can't leave that is the reason I ordered from door dash. Her husband ended up delivering me a new order of my upon noodles and the dashi separately even though he had a difficult time finding where I was he eventually did. I just want to thank the owners for going above and beyond for this. I apologize for my attitude as well. Stay Blessed! Oh and the udon, shrimp tempura, and grilled salmon sushi was ONOLISH!!! read more

Disappointed, Got my order today. They put way too much rice and not enough meat. See the image attached. Would not come back. read more

In brief: A pleasant, economical way to sate your sushi craving. We've been here twice and ordered the same thing: Honolulu sushi bento w/ four nigiri, spicy ahi over rice, miso soup Chicken katsu sushi bento w/ four nigiri and miso soup I think one or both of those items include tempura as well -- not in the classic style, but welcome, nonetheless. And on the second trip, we were also given a nice green salad, which was a welcome addition to the meal. Prices were surprisingly reasonable, and the food quality was decent. Parking in their lot is free, but there isn't a lot of it. Service was welcoming and efficient. Bottom line: I plan on eating here again. This place is FAR superior to their spot inside the Ala Moana mall. read more

I felt like having some sushi and I come across this little place next to Teapresso. I stepped in and I was like, "Where am I..." It's like you're in a whole different world. The decor, the walls, the vibe, it's kinda rustic; you'll either like it or love it but I didn't mind. The service was good, the food was good, the prices were a bit on the pricey side for me but the portion of the maki was pretty massive. I didn't even need the miso soup they included on the side. I ordered their Spicy Ahi maki and it was decently spicy. They added a drizzle of mayo, which tbh kinda threw me off. There was also a side salad included and I didn't really care for it; it was kinda sad looking to me. Other than that, the quality of the sushi is fresh and great! read more

Honolulu Sushi is a hidden gem. I know it's been around for some time, but the boyfriend and I finally had the chance to check it out recently for dinner. This little sushi spot is in the same plaza as Like Like Drive-Inn. I didn't know that beforehand, so we drove around Keeaumoku twice before we actually realized it was in the plaza. Since street parking can be hard to find around that area, I was glad that the restaurant itself was in the plaza and a few stalls were available during the time of our visit! For some time, we were the only customers in the store. It was a simple restaurant with about four tables for seating; it's probably ideal to order take-out from this place, but since it was empty, we enjoyed a leisurely dinner. There's lots to choose from on the menu, too - great assortment of bento, bowls and hand rolls. The bentos/bowls are made to order, so once we ordered (be sure to get a stamp card), we waited for a few minutes. Our miso soup and salad were brought out on trays immediately, and our meals followed shortly after. You can't beat the price at this place. We left satisfied--we were starving beforehand--with just enough room in our bellies for dessert. Great hidden gem on Koreamoku! Here's what we got: "Spicy Ahi Nigiri Bento": I was craving spicy ahi, and this bento was one of the more expensive items on the menu ($12.42). Yet, I loved the variety that it had. There were four pieces of the spicy ahi nigiri; three pieces of a California roll-type roll (but filled with spicy ahi), and six small maki pieces ... all stuffed with spicy ahi. The ahi tasted fresh and I loved the slightly spicy aioli that was drizzled on top. Each meal comes with miso soup and salad; water is a la carte, but the auntie who runs the store was really nice and comp-ed our waters. "Crunch Bowl": The boyfriend was hungry, so he went for one of the bowl options. The "Crunch Bowl" came with spicy ahi over a mound of rice, but it was also topped liberally with tempura flakes for that extra crunch. Even though the sauces were drizzled all over, I liked how the tempura flakes definitely retained their crunch (they weren't soggy). The portion size of spicy ahi was decent, too. I'd definitely get this if I were hungry; there's a generous mound of rice under the ahi. "Dynamite Roll": Honolulu Sushi features a great selection of maki rolls and hand rolls, and I want to try one during my next visit. The one I had my eye on was the "Dynamite" roll, which consists of shrimp tempura, cucumber and spicy ahi. It has all my favorites in there; I would just have to double check and make sure the sauce isn't too spicy (it has to be called dynamite for a reason!). read more

Felt like eating sushi, so after shopping at Ross's, I saw this sushi shop across the street. Ordered a nigiri bento for $14, which looked good on the menu pics. Service was fast and friendly, but was very disappointed with what I paid for. Nigiri was very tasty but the portions was sooooooo small and the quality was like Kozo, but twice the price. I don't think I'll go back again. read more

Got teapresso next door and figured I'll give this place a try since I was hungry. Turned out to be a great idea since prices were good and the food was tasty. Ordered the unagi bento and dynamite roll, the unagi is definitely some of the best I've had on par or above $$$ restaurants (I do wish they were more generous with it though) I would say don't come here expecting extremely fine crafted sushi made by Chef Nobu himself or whatever- this is a spot for good, fast, and affordable sushi that will satisfy your cravings at a 1/3 of the price. That gives it five stars in my book. read more

I was in need of lunch but wasn't able to get out and grab something. I decided to go in my favorite app - DoorDash and order something quick. I ordered the gyoza and the spicy ahi bowl, as they were both really popular options here on both yelp reviews and on the DoorDash menu. I figured who not give it a shot. I got the 5 pc gyoza, which is plenty for one person. It was really flavorful and came with a nice sauce. The ahi bowl was actually a little disappointing. It wasn't all that flavorful besides the mayo squeezed all over the top of it and the rice was kind of dry. It wasn't the best Spicy Ahi Bowl I've had but it wasn't horrible either. read more

In a rush and on the hunt for food, I stumbled across this hidden gem. After quickly looking at the menu and ordering, I was already planning what to eat when I return here. I was amazed at the rolls and sushi options that they had on their menu. Since my son isn't so much of a sushi eater, I was glad that they had salads and Teriyaki bowls on the menu. Reasonably priced, quaint restaurant and tasty food.... I'm a fan!! read more

Nigiri wasn't that tasty for me. The rice needed a little more vinegar. Fish wasn't that bad but it wasn't super-fresh either. Cooked salmon hand roll was better but again the rice was bland. read more

We went around 3:15 on a Saturday and were greeted with a large selection of sushi and other items to choose from. The drink menu, though, was very limited. We had great anticipation that it would be a good feast with all the high ratings we read. But we were not so lucky. The small salad served pre-sushi had Italian dressing! The energy roll had eel skin instead of eel meat in the first bite. (We actually sent that roll back for a refund.) The sushi in general had the most rice I've ever seen, and it was stale rice :( Would not go back. Sorry we dropped $45 there. read more
