Kazoku Sushi is one of those places you almost don't want to tell people about... but it's too good not to. We've been twice now, and it's officially a must-visit every time we're on the island. It's a true hole-in-the-wall spot! nothing flashy, but don't let that fool you. The sushi is phenomenal. Every roll we've tried has been consistently amazing, and the rice is perfect (which honestly makes all the difference). You can immediately tell how fresh the fish is! everything tastes clean, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. I've even ordered rolls to go, and they hold up so well. The staff is another highlight, so kind, welcoming, and genuinely sweet. It adds to that feeling like you stumbled onto a local favorite rather than a tourist stop. Seating is a little limited, so just be prepared. There are a few small booths, but most of the seating is along the sushi bar. Totally worth it though. This is hands down a place I think about long after leaving, and one I'll keep coming back to every time I'm in Oʻahu. read more

Wanted to go to Sushi Bay but they were closed. Found this place near Aulani which had good ratings. Ambiance When I found it I realized we have been here years before. It is a small dated place. Most times than not these places have good food. Customers appeared to be locals which is a good thing. Rate 3 Customer Service The 2 young ladies serving were very polite and attentive. Rate 5 Dragon Roll Very tasty spicy tuna and tempura. Consistency of rice was a bit dry, however very good. Beautiful plating. Rate 4 Oyako Don Chicken, vegetables and egg over rice. A bit too sweet for me but very good. Rate 4 read more

We recently tried Kazoku and had a great experience. I ordered the Red Dragon roll and fried shrimp shumai. Everything was really good. The service was friendly, and it's a super small, family-owned spot. I loved that the chefs handed the rolls directly to us at the table once they were ready. We were really happy with our experience. read more

Racking my brain trying to remember the name of a sushi restaurant we ate at our last visit to HI. It was good yet no review. In Yelp pics it looked like the place, well it was. Small place 6 full tables and a bar with room. So we sat at the bar and ordered a Lemon Drop & King Kong. It was good stuff & too much for us. They hit one of my pet peeves - they charge a 3% gratuity after taxed total for the kitchen staff. It's well publicized on their menu so you don't miss it. So be prepared. read more

Horrible and no communication. There was just one server in there and her communication is minimal, so is the sushi chef. We waited there with my hungry kids didn't give us a time of how long it would take would not recommend I rather go to genki sushi. read more

Dropped in here for a quick bite. It's been awhile since I've eaten here and forgot about their BYOB policy which is pretty cool. The bad side was empty so I chose to sit there as a single so that other parties could use the booths. You can see the chefs cut and make your dish right in front of you. Next time I'll have to bring my mini cooler and spend more time! read more

First service was excellent. Two stars are for the food. Poke bowl was pathetic. For $21 it was NOT worth it! The poke served was substandard and portion was small. The vegetable tempura was burnt and it tasted burnt too. I swear it was leftovers. The shrimp tempura was excellent. Unfortunately the batter used for the vegetables was different. Vegetables rubbery. Pre Covid this place was awesome but now it's not worth the $230 we spent for lunch! The Karaage was dry and hard and tasted more like Mochiko. Informed the server and all she could say was sorry. The sushi chefs gave no smiles or conversations which made the experience worse and no it was not busy. Never going back and hope your food was way better and cost less than $230 not including tip! read more

Kazoku Sushi - Pathetic $21 poke bowl. There is supposed to be 2 different pokes. Can you see 2? ‍ - Sushi Bars Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

OK! so I've been living under a rock! What can I say? Everyone else I know dined here before and it goes back YEARS.. My visit last week was my absolute FIRST visit to this neat great establishment. Seared salmon nigiri (seared to perfection), vegetable tempura (deep fried to perfection with a fantastic light batter), soft shell crag (best dish, I ate the entire crab... I usually pick at it) and chawan mushi ( steamed to perfection) Yup, if you're on the west side, Kapolei to be exact, go here or be square! Please don't me like me and take a lifetime to get and dine there! Easy on and off the freeway. Close to Costco and Home Depot Kapolei. read more

Not so sure they value customers, had to ask for soy sauce a few times and never got it.

If you find yourself on the west side of the island and craving Japanese food this place is worth a try. A true mom and pop establishment you get really good food for a very reasonable price. The service is great. All food is made to order so it does take a little bit of time, but your patience will be rewarded with fresh, great tasting food. read more

We absolutely love coming here as a special sushi date night. What we love is that you can byob and that the sushi is fresh. It is on the pricier side, however, the food is delicious. The staff is always friendly and we never have to wait to be seated. If I had to give a constructive criticism, it would be that the rolls can be packed with too much rice. Other than that, this place is a top favorite of ours! read more

Everything about this place is top notch. From the wait staff, to the sushi chefs are super friendly and FAST. The quality of the fish and food is A-one. We try and go there at least once a month. We used go once a week. They used to take pictures of their customers but stop doing that. Wish we got our picture put up on the wall of customers. . If you are craving good sushi, go to this place. Normally, no long lines like some other place. But turn over is pretty quick. read more

Passing on the cost of staffing to your customers is diabolical. Especially since we didn't order anything from the kitchen. I asked about the charge and I was told it goes on all the checks. The food become just ok... they used to be great however it's declined drastically over the past couple years. The restaurant is clean , nothing really notable. I no longer go out of my way to come here. They also need to update the hours of operation. read more

Ended up here because our original plan to grab McRib's failed since the island wasn't a location to enjoy or bring back the McRib at this time; McRib was one of my late Goddaughters' favorites; we were on the island celebrating her heavenly 20th birthday trying to enjoy all her favorite things that day. 10/25/24. At Kazoku around 12 Noon, there is friendly staff, good sushi & got seated right away! Nice find in a bind! Parking's a bit tight. read more

Really good sushi and friendly, attentive service. We had a very nice experience! We'll be back next time we're in Kapolei.

Small sushi restaurant in Kapolei. Very clean. Most of the seats surround the chefs. So of course we were watching them make everyone's food. The soba was refreshing and light. Dipping Sauce was delish! Tempura was crispy and not overcooked. My husband really enjoyed the omakase. We weren't exactly sure what types of fish were used. But he ate um all, so musta been good! Service can get a little slow with a full restaurant. But both servers were very polite. Bench seats, next to the bar, are tight. Ok for 4 SKINNY people or 2 regular people lol read more

Placed a order to go restaurant was not busy maybe 8 people total including me, food took almost 45 minutes to come out as I was leaving waitress dropped a dish bin on my feet, food was stacked haphazardly in the bag no dividers all plastic Togo containers as soon as I placed it in the car it toppled over. 8 plus containers in a bag everything stacked vertically nothing supported what a joke, they really went downhill read more

There's ample parking, not a lot of wait time for a table, friendly service and good portion sizes of food. All of which account to a great place to eat at for me! When you get walk into the restaurant, to the left is the host stand. There are booth seats, along with sushi bar type of seats where there was once a rotating menu in the middle of the restaurant. Though that piece isn't operating, the servers take your order and the sushi chefs hand that over the sushi bar setup to you. Love the Deluxe Bowl that comes with spicy ahi, a spicy crab mix, and sushi rice at the very bottom. The sushi rice is the perfect consistency and flavor. Not too sweet, not too vinegary, they really got the recipe right. The cold soba also had the perfect consistency, with just enough bite and chew in the noodle. The tempura came out crispy and the breading around it was tasty. I think we just found our new favorite go-to sushi place, out here in Kapolei! read more

The best place for quality sushi in Kapolei. It's on the pricier side so we don't come here very often but it's worth the money every time we do. The fish is always fresh and the service is fast & friendly. It's also BYOB which is a huge plus. It can get busy since there's not many tables so make sure you plan ahead. My favorite roll is the dragon roll. Highly recommend. read more

Kazoku was recommended to us by someone a while back and we finally decided to give it a try. The sushi restaurant is clean; service was friendly and efficient. We ordered a couple of spicy ahi bowls and the King Kong Jr roll for takeout. Everything was pretty tasty, though the ahi was a bit too spicy for my liking. Quality of the fish was good for the price. read more

Kazoku Sushi located across the street from Costco Kapolei is a local Japanese restaurant specializing in sushi. They have various options including specialty rolls, nigiri, chef's 11-piece omakase, and more. I went right at opening so we were tended to very quickly. Our waitress was very kind and checked up on us very often. The chefs making the rolls in the center were also very nice. They asked how everything was, if we needed anything, and greeted my party and me upon entrance, and exit. The restaurant was also very clean. Also, there is a single restroom stall. Everything we ordered was great. My favorites included the roll as well as the chiwan musui. If I were to come back, I would stick to getting their specialty rolls and some appetizers. That is because some of their appetizers were expensive for the amount they gave. In total, I spent about $82 on everything. Would I come back? Yes! They offer 10% off for military on Mondays as well as seniors on Tuesdays. Bring a jacket, it was a bit chilly in there! read more

For some reason, I always forget about Kazoku Sushi. They're located across the parking lot from Kapolei Home Depot. There is plenty of parking and the staff is very attentive and nice. The only knock on this place is that they do not have any adult beverages. Other than that, they're great. Check them out when you're looking for a bite in Kapolei. Happy eating.

Ordered Hamachi Kama and 2 deluxe nigiri plates. There is nothing deluxe on the nigiri and the Hamachi Kama wasn't flacky but soft and mushy. The skin was okay. If I'm paying $38 for a Kama; I expect it to be fresh and not previously frozen. However the service was good. read more

I went here today for lunch by myself. I've been here before and I knew it was going to be great! They greeted me as soon as I entered the door and the customer service was spot on getting me seated and getting me something to drink. I had hot green tea and then got into the sushi. I got a Dragon Roll, which comes with Unagi (eel) and it's one of my favorites. Then I tried their Ikura (fish eggs). They even had a salmon wrapped Ikura that I hadn't had before, and it was a great complement. Lastly, I got a Deluxe Specialty Bowl to go for dinner. Overall this only cost me $75 before tip, which wasn't bad for two meals of high quality sushi! My complements to the chef and the staff! There is plenty of parking in this area. It's a nice cozy atmosphere. read more

We were in the area and craving sushi at the time. We stumbled upon Kazoku Sushi which is pretty hidden. It wasn't busy at all and there were counter tables and booths available for seating. It was also BYOB which was surprising. Once seated we got our waters and looked over the menu. Lots of sushi and fried food items to choose from. We decided to go with the combination bento ($32.25) and out two choices was the furikake salmon and chicken karaage. The combination bento also comes with salad, rice and miso soup. We also ordered the vegetable tempura ($16.50) and the spicy crunch roll ($17.38). The spicy crunch roll came out first. It looked super good! There were crumbs on top of the sushi and their spicy tuna was different from other sushi spots. It looked more like a paste. But that didn't stop it from tasting good! The vegetable tempura came next. There was a mix of onions, bell peppers, potato and string beans. The combination was the main event. The salmon was my favorite. Crispy on the outside and soft tender meat on the inside. The furikake was a nice touch. The chicken was also crispy and the sauce on top was tasty. Salad was good. Wish they had a little more as it was finished quickly. Overall, the food was good. Service was fast even though there wasn't much staff working at the time. The inside is a bit small so it could fill up fast and you may be put on a waitlist to be seated. I would recommend! read more

Best Sushi in Kapolei. Sushi is always fresh. Never had an issue with quality. See alot of people complaining about the deep fried stuff, maybe they should ask for replacement then and there.

Worst sushi I've ever had and also unfortunately the most expensive. The rolls are massive, like twice as big as usual. The rice is overcooked and missing rice vinegar. The crab filling in a California roll is like all mayo and no crab. It's all just large mushy and missing flavor. read more

Best uni, sweet creamy no after taste. Great quality sushi, it is small so you can't bring groups.

We were in the mood for sushi and decided on Kazuo. We had come here several times before. It was always busy and wanted to try it another time as my boyfriend had been seeing reviews about it on social media. We entered the restaurant and was shocked that there were no patrons inside. We were the only ones in there until about halfway through dinner. Three other couples had come to have dinner. We were seated by the server in a booth and had time to look over the menu. She was very friendly. We ordered: 1. Agedashi Tofu: Great sauce and made well 2. Misoyaki Butterfish: Very tender and well seasoned 3. Salmon, Hamachi, Ikura, & Unagi Nigiri: Love Love! Good amount of fish and rice ratio 4. Unagi Caterpillar Roll: Will order again! We love unagi and unagi sauce and this roll was delicious Service was great. Our drinks were always filled and we were checked on often. It is a little pricier but everyone seems to be raising prices these days. We will definitely return! read more

Can't even answer the phone! We have family with allergy accommodation, full menu isn't available on their ordering platforms, & doordash pickup is closed despite it being 5pm dinner opening time!

Easy peasy sushi dinner after work. I mostly enjoy coming here for the soft shell crab & chawan mushi. You need to place your order for chawan mushi when seated because it takes 20 minutes to prepare. It wasn't busy & the two sushi chefs were kicking the rolls out so didn't have time to take any pics. The waitlist can be long on weekends as it is not very large establishment. There is a row of sushi belt seating and some booths that seat 4; 5 if you request an additional chair. Btw, the belt is not running due to Covid. We tried doing take out couple of months into the pandemic & it was horrible. Shrimp tempura tasted freezer burned or twice fried. Sushi is comparable to other fast food sushi establishments. read more

I love this place and I'm so glad that we have this in Kapolei! It's a small but very nice restaurant with excellent customer service and great sushi! The sushi is prepared so quickly!
