Christmas update: Saw Hawaii News Now the morning show about 8am & they featured Sushi Boy Kailua. They previewed the various sushi dishes that they offered & they showed an eye catching patter , great presentation of fresh sashimi. I texted the store & Dianne texted me & help put together a party platter of Hokkaido scallops, Hamachi & Ahi. Picked up @ the Kaneohe store. Seems to be the norm, if paying by card you have to pick up the 3 Percent charge& they expect a tip also, so you can expect to pay $ 20.00 plus more. It's Christmas , service was good & efficient, so felt generous! Looking to digging into the platter this evening, with family & relatives, so I will continue this review, stay tuned! read more

This is a little take out spot in the bldg between Moonga Asian and the Post Office. There are parking spots right in front and in back of the bldg. I was heading home to Kailua after going to the mall, so decided to stop by and get some lunch. The order window in right in the middle of the bldg with the menu board in front. Service is pretty good, with average wait times for food that's made to order. I know they're known for sushi rolls and poke bowls (duh), but I wanted to get a couple of their Teri burgers, so that's what I ordered, along with some fries. The burgers are a bit small, but the taste is pretty good. The crinkle fries are nicely crisp outside with a fluffy interior and good amount of salt. They do have a location in Kailua, so I'll definitely try it the next time. read more

Just stopped by local boy sushi for lunch. Super friendly and helpful Service from Evan at the counter! It was an afternoon snack and we ordered a special he recommended that comes with rice and five scoops of spicy Ahi and shrimp tempura! I think it may be like the Lava Lava bowl. There were 4 of us and for $24, we all enjoyed a healthy afternoon snack large portions and he gave them to us in individual containers to make sharing easy! It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend! Be sure to mix your rice with the poke, and they were very generous with the soy sauce, ginger, wasabi... Excellent price point! I'd definitely stop by for another lunch before we leave the island read more

This place is slow as Fuck! Girl put me on hold then hangs up on me! I get there only 2 people waiting for their food! They act like they so busy read more

Bomb! Now I know why the lava bowl is one of their most popular menu items. Good flavor, good price and just can't be beat! read more

This walk up sushi place was a find!!! Great fresh tasting sushi!! I loved the spicy pack and the Lava pack!!!! They are 10/10!!! I would recommend you stop by and try them out!! They even made the Cali pack spicy for my daughter! And they looked so good I had to steal one! The Salomon was ok but not my fav. But still good. I think my favorite surprise was they had bread pudding so of course I got it to try it out. Omg it was sooo good, I heated it up for like 15secs and I think I could have licked the plate clean. I will be stopping by again when I am in Kaneohe! I didn't get picks because my fav was so hungry when I got home they dove in before I was done bringing stuff in from the car. read more

I was in the Kaneohe area and wanted lunch so I seen this place on Yelp. Thank goodness I did because I loved it! Their sign is not that big so it would be a little hard to see it from the main road as you drive. They are located on the main road right next to flyin ahi. I got their lava roll. It had tempura inside and spicy ahi on the top with sweet chili sauce on the top. It was super good. I loved how well everything mixed. I also love how they have only FRESH ahi, even better!!! I love how they cut it into small cubes rather than huge cubes. My bf got their lava bowl which had 5 choices! Yum! He got 2 choice poke, kalua pig, bbq chicken and tempura. It was super good. They cooked the food to perfection and everything was on point. The service was good. The workers were super friendly. Definitely going back and trying more of their options read more

The place is literally just a place to order food. The food is pretty good. It's just that the portions were a little on the small side but to balance that out the cost was probably some of the cheapest I've seen so you got to figure out what's important and go with that. If you're still hungry, there's some other places to grab some appetizers, but I like to support local places read more

I like this takeout sushi concept, just call put your order in pick up your food pay and back on the road. Love it.

So awesome their bread pudding!!!!!! I came straight from town to buy them for myself and ended up buying more for family and coworkers. One of the owners is a high school friend with my former professor at the college nearby. He was so generous to tell me about their sweet potato pie and let me try it!!! Love the friendliness and generosity... I'll be sure to return!!! Thank you!!! read more

Pretty good poke for a reasonable price! It's very fresh, not much flavor outside of the fish so make sure you dress it up if that's what you're looking for. Combo includes a drink which was great! read more

Wanted to try something new that I haven't had before and support local businesses while I'm in the area. They were one out of two places I wanted to check out. The pros. Lots of parking and there is a little window to order your food from. Perfect for me since I had my dog with me. The cons. Pricing was high compared to what was offered. I got a combo box and deluxe burger which was a little under $30 for both. The fish quality I could tell was previously frozen fish. However, I'm glad I got a combo box of a little bit of everything cause I really do not think I could eat more than 1 piece of the smoked salmon sushi. Everything else was tolerable. read more

Picked up a Ahi/Hamachi/Salmon sashimi platter for Christmas Eve which was a real hit with everyone. The order was ready on time and looked impressive, the fish was fresh and reasonably priced for this time of the year. This location is takeout only with no seating available. Would recommend Local Boy Sushi for its sashimi being one of the 3-4 locations in Kaneohe for good fresh fish. read more

Great great staff ! Always great food ! Love the sushi but we love the burgers desserts on point too ! Parking can be kind of a challenge but there is parking in the back of the building also . read more

The best place in Honolulu, good price, excellent service and the food was definitely my best one ! I couldn't even take pictures of how good it was ! read more

Walk up window only, no drive through or dining room- no problem at all but good to know! This is an absolute gem of a restaurant. I ordered the lava poke bowl along with the sweet potato pie and WOW. If I were local I would be eating here all the time. Price can't be beat for fresh tuna. Others in my party got the lava sushi roll and loved it too. The crispy shrimp along with the tuna was a perfect combo! I will make sure to come again when I'm back in the area. read more

Local Boy Sushi is hands down our favorite spot for sushi on the Windward side! Every time we visit, the quality is fresh and perfectly prepared. Their rolls and poke are always flavorful, and you can really taste the difference in the ingredients they use. Beyond the amazing food, the customer service is top-notch. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and quick to take care of us. Whether we're grabbing a quick bite or picking up a platter for a gathering, they never disappoint. If you're looking for delicious, high-quality sushi with great service, this is the place to go. We also had their catering and all our guest LOVED the sashimi! So grateful for this amazing business! read more

We ordered two bowls today and left. Got down the road and there were no utensils. We asked for shoyu and wasabi and got none... Ordered the big Braddah bowl and there was no shrimp tempura inside. My ahi poke in my bowl did not look or taste fresh, it had a slimy coating to it. read more

After seeing the reviews I was dying to try Local Boy Sushi when I was on this side of the island. Parking is pretty tight, I recommend placing a phone order just so you're in and out of the parking lot quickly. I got a 3 choice bowl selection with spicy ahi, kalbi and smoked salmon for $11. Portion is a lot smaller than I expected. Definitely not worth the $11. I could see the 3 bowl selection being at most $7-8. I did enjoy my food, the ahi was very fresh, the kalbi was tasty, the salmon on the other hand was alright. Also got a keiki 1 choice selection of smoked meat, meat seemed more burnt than smoked. Coming here was an experience but would probably not come back. I think a foodland poke bowl is a lot more enjoyable and kalbi at l&l is a better option and price and quality than what you get here. read more

One of my fav poke spots on the island. I love that they only have brown rice which is my natural preference. Portion size is just right so that I'm not too stuffed or still hungry LOL Service is always great and place is always clean. read more

Such dope sushi. It's in a strip mall and you would never think it would be so epic. Fast service and great check out counter space. Great for after surfing. read more

This is one of my Kaneohe "hole in wall" lunch spots. Now, LBS has opened in Kailua next to WholeFoods. Unlike the Kaneohe location, you can enter and even sit for your meal in the few casual seats. It looks like a modern self-order system is in the coming. Digital menu board didn't make it clear how to order, so ask. My LBS bowl with gratuity and soda was $16. The LBS bowl gets you three choices, mine smoked salmon, spicy ahi and kalbi. I also added a single tempura shrimp. Yum. read more

Really fresh sushi! Happy with the pieces and the friendly staff. One of the best food trucks we had while on the island!

Their lava bowl is Ono and worth every cent...If you don't call in an order however expect a wait outside...

Easy to miss if you're driving too fast, it is the definition of hole in the wall place! Family owned business with just a small window to order. Love supporting places like these and my next stop anytime I come by Kaneohe! BREAD PUDDING 10/10 - $3.50 Worth every penny! It comes with a side of butterscotch glaze. I was having a foodgasm with every bite. LAVA BOWL 8.5/10 - $12 What a delicious combo of spicy ahi, shrimp tempura (for that crunch baby!) covered in delicious sauce and fresh avocado. This was a savory bowl, I just wish it was bigger! And a bonus it comes with a free drink! I got ginger ale :) Knocking off a star as I would have liked more ahi for the price/size of bowl. Parking Available outside, located next to the Hong Kong restaurant next door. They do accept card too! read more

Amazing service. Two guys were behind the counter. They both offered ideas to help my nephew choose an item. A lot of aloha and kindness from these folks. It's nice to experience that in Kailua. I wish he would've gotten a larger serving than the bowl he got or that I ordered a hand roll for later. Teenagers are so hungry! He is a picky eater and enjoyed his meal very much so. He also enjoys genki and foodland poke bowls. The shrimp tempura were sliced up into 1-2 cm bits and sprinkled on top of his poke with unagi sauce. He said he would come back, so this is a winner spot. It's on the opposite side of Whole Foods. So when you park, walk by fighting eel to get to it. There was seating inside on sturdy tables. We ended up ordering to go. read more

The food was spectacular. The dessert was delicious. The music was great. The service was TOP notch! My kids are so picky and they just kept ordering more items to try more scrumptious food. 100% recommend! read more

Not only super friendly service but delicious fresh caught ahi. So good I went two days in a row. Highly recommend the Lava Bowl which was delicious although not very spicy. read more

Love getting some local boy sushi anytime I'm on this side of the island. They make everything fairly quickly and it is so fresh! The walk up window is easy to spot. There's no seating area just a walk up area but I typically chow it all down the second I get to my car anyways. read more

Flavorful veggie maki! Seriously - try it without shoyu or wasabi first (and then you do you, taste is personal), because you might find you don't need anything else. The brown rice is seasoned, the fillings are fresh and good quality. Some of the best veg sushi I've had locally. I'm not vegetarian, I just like veggies, and this can also be a test of how much a place cares about what they serve. This pack could be enough for two or three people as a snack or as lunch for one. It's a tiny mall and there is no place to sit outside nearby. However, if you are already there to do your laundry at the Washerette, might as well have a snack while you wait! The parking lot is tiny and often full - this is not their fault. Call your takeout order in ahead so you can double-park for a minute if necessary. read more

Love that this place has good burgers and sushi. Something unique is the smoked salmon sushi, I highly recommend trying it! Prices are very affordable. read more

I always come here when washing laundry, food is Ono. Always get the burger and fries from here. But this recent time I went took almost 30 mins for a burger and fries and the lady who ordered after me got her order before me I sure was disappointed. Fries were soggy and cold by the time he handed me my burger. All he had to say is sorry. No be sorry, be better! Cmon get it together Local Boy Sushi. Next time I definitely not tipping. read more

Happened to be in the area and looking for a place to get lunch. So of course I went to yelp! This place was nearby and good reviews so we stopped by. It is a little tucked away next to the road behind windward mall. There's a decent amount of parking and service seemed friendly. We decided on a chirashi and a special bowl. The chirashi comes with slices of ahi, hamachi and salmon. You get your choice of different proteins for the special bowl and I chose ahi poke, spicy ahi and kalua pig. There's no area outside to sit and eat so we took the food to the park. The portions were pretty decent and fish quality was good. I really liked the flavor for the kalua pig and spicy ahi. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Their lava bowl is terrific but best to order by phone in advance rather than wait outside...

The sushi and lava bowl was amazing! I really liked everything we ordered. The fillings were fresh and the proportions of rice, fish, etc. were perfect. I ate with my family and we could not stop devouring the food until we were done. The cashier was very nice and did a double check to make sure we had everything we ordered. It was a bit of a wait for the food to be ready. The quality of the food makes up for it though! No seating available at all, so you have to go somewhere else to enjoy the food. read more

Me and the Kaohiai Electric crew stopped and picked up some local boy specials. Everything was so good, and the bread pudding was so good. The place is a small hole in the wall, all take out, so call it in, and pick up. I recommend this place for some local style grinds with that Japanese flair. They have killer sushi and ono style plate lunches. Go try it read more
