I ordered takeout here and it was ready when I picked it up in about 20 minutes. I ordered sushi (I can't remember which rolls) which, considering the price, it's worth what you pay - if you're looking for a super fancy place, I probably wouldn't advise eating here but it's fresh relative to store bought sushi and for the same price, if not cheaper. I ordered the ramen (not on the menu) but it was not even worth buying. I would have been better off eating $1 pack of ramen at home. It was the pork belly which was just boiled pork. I would come back here in a pinch or for lunch.

My go-to sushi spot that's tucked in the back. I'm always satisfied whenever I place a to-go order or stop in to eat dinner. I keep saying I'll try other items from the menu besides the sushi but the sushi keeps calling me back.

Yellowtail sushi! Smoked salmon steak roll, shrimp tempura. Seaweed salad. All delish!

Nice mom n pop place with real Japanese and Korean fare. Good fresh ingredients. Great ginger salad. Fresh servings of yellowtail sushi and ample good rolls. The shrimp tempura is very crunchy and tasty too. Not a chain this is the real deal. You will be happy.

First off my 5 year old is a picky eater but she loves Korean food. This place was amazing to eat at. I honestly didn't have any complaints. Everything was fresh,, the service was exceptional, and the plum wine was to die for! Definitely recommend and will be going back. Also the place was clean! You really can't beat it!

Chicken Katsu Ramen

Ramen was really good and flavorful! I had mine extra spicy and was amazing! Nice environment. The older guy at the front desk was so helpful and nice. Great costumer service.

Besure to check the off-menu pictures list in. There are ramen and korean food not shown on the menu.

Fried oyster roll in the front and pickled radish roll in the back.

Came here last night for a friend's birthday with a party of 8. I'm glad she picked this place, because I'm not sure I would have ever ventured back here and saw so many different places that have been on my list that I forget about often (Lahore Express, India Cafe, etc). You get your own drink upon coming in, which is new for me. I'm glad my friend was already there to tell me that or I probably would have waited a while before figuring that out. I ordered two different rolls. The oshinko (pickled radish) roll, which was odd but actually really good. The second one was the fried oyster one and I really liked that one. I'd say I'd order it again, but there were so many I wanted to try and for the most part the prices weren't horrible on the rolls. I got the two rolls, a salad and an iced coffee and it was only around $17. It's quiet and tucked in and I really enjoyed that. I will be back!

Galbi plate

First time trying out Kinja Sushi Express. It has been on our list of places to try since moving to Augusta. So today my husband and I tried it for our anniversary lunch. We were so glad we chose to give it a try. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by the owner and the smells coming from the kitchen were heavenly. We ended up having a sushi roll, nigiri, veggie tempura, and galbi plate. Everything was absolutely delicious, and, not to mention, reasonably priced. Although they do have take-out, this is definitely a dine in location because they have extra menu boards posted around the register area. All the photos look delicious and there are now many more dishes we want to try. The tempura was simple but delicious- sweet potato and zucchini - and perfectly cooked. The galbi was flavorful and just the way I like it - not too sweet. Banchan was simple at lunch - kimchi, cucumbers and cabbage. The cabbage (not Napa cabbage - just regular southern style cabbage) was a new dish for me that I will be trying to recreate at home. As for the sushi and nigiri - AMAZING!!! My husband ordered the spicy tuna roll and I had the freshwater eel. They were both delicious but I simply can't get over the eel. It was so melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked. I will definitely be having this over and over. Happy Eating!!!

Good but very overpriced for small portion. I got the beef bulgogi, the taste is on point. Sad, i think they charged me extra for the kimchi

Sashimi for 1.
Jessica K.

They use the worst cuts of fish! Yuck! This has to be hands down the worst sushi I've eaten and dining experience. And this is coming from someone who had their stomach pumped after a bad case of food years ago from bad fish. I read the reviews thinking this was gonna be epic but after only eating half of my entree I finished off the night staving off my hunger with burgers and sodas. We ordered the sashimi dinner for one, soft shell crab roll, shrimp tempura roll, spicy tuna roll and dynamite roll. We ate maybe 60% of it and ended up paying $45 for such crap. Sashimi Dinner: The cuts were thin, the red snapper was roughly the shape of short little french fries, the salmon was slimy, and the surf clam was tougher and grittier than acceptable. Sashimi usually comes with a side of rice which I did not receive, nor a salad or soup. My dinner companions had difficulty even telling which fish were which, which is always a red flag for me. The Rolls: All were stringy and had bits of connective tissue and way too much spicy mayonnaise oozing out the ends. It looked like we dipped our rolls in mayo and halfway through, it was inedible. I also did not appreciate finding tuna bloodlines in the rolls which is way cheap and unappealing for U.S. standards. I give my cats that part of the tuna and can't believe it's served to people. As for service, it doesn't exist. You serve yourself water, soda, tea and come up to the bar if you want a beer. Also, if you want to order, you must come up to the sushi bar and make requests for menus. I think the name "Express" implies "self-service" more than anything else. 39/2014

No korean beer; a little dissapointing. The cold mug was nice though.

Out of the way korean and japanese food. Summary: Decent somewhat authentic korean food which was pricy for the volume of food provided. The reason I went to the resturant because I saw donkatsu on the menu. I made the assumption it came with curry sauce as that is a common combination but it did not. I decided to try a spicy dish as an alternative. The jap chae was sparse, but I get it americans dont eat that sh!#. The location is completely out of the way which was another reason I decided to try it. Dishes eaten: Spicy pork and Kimbap. Taste: Decent standard korean food made for american. Price: Too pricy for the amount of food provided. If I am going to pay over 30 bucks for dinner then I should not eat with a plastic fork. Service: This is obiviously a family owned resturant and they were very friendly. I waited in the front area, asked if I had eaten here before and handed a paper sushi menu with some of the items on it. I sat at the bar. The food took a long time to cook which is completely understandable considering it was run by two people. Atmosphere: Extermely clean, dark and weird like most of these places. Self serve wood chapsticks and plastic utensils. Will I go here again? Not likely because of the price and the food did not stand out, however I am a food snob and cheap which is the worst combo ever. This is a great place for someone to get a taste of korean or have an affair.

Forgot the name of this one

I haven't visited this place in years. My granddaughter requested sushi. So I wanted to try a different place. Needless too say I wasn't disappointed. The food was great, hot and plentiful. I will be visiting again.

Hawaiian Style BBQ - The Hungry Hawaiian plate with Beef Short Ribs, teriyaki chicken, pulled pork, sticky rice, macaroni salad, and Steamed Cabbage.

Hawaiian Style BBQ

(499 reviews)

$$

Visited Hawaiian Style BBQ under the new ownership, and even though a few items I had enjoyed in…read morethe past were no longer available, it didn't take away from the overall experience at all. The food still felt authentic and full of true Hawaiian flavor. Coming from a family with roots in the Big Island and Maui, I can appreciate when a place captures that genuine island-style taste and atmosphere. One thing that really stood out was how they start you off with fresh in-house made pork rinds, similar to how Mexican restaurants serve chips and salsa when you sit down. It was a unique and welcoming touch. We ordered the spicy poke, Spam musubis, and a mixed BBQ plate with two scoops of mac salad. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. The mac salad especially had that classic island-style taste that's hard to find done right. The staff was friendly, the decor looked great, and the restaurant had a warm, inviting feel. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for authentic Hawaiian comfort food.

WOW. Price, value, quality. From Top to bottom Hawaiian Style BBQ is a 5 star restaurant…read more I ordered the 2 meat plate. Hawaiian Chicken and Short Rib with a side of Hawaiian rolls, cabbage kimchi, and macaroni salad. Everything I had was amazing. My girl ordered the pork plate. I personally liked the pork more than the short rib, but my girl preferred the short rib. Everything was flavored amazingly. My new favorite restaurant in Augusta.
