I shared their current menu along with some of the dishes we ordered. We tried the: * Crunchy Tuna Roll * Aloha Roll * Shoreline Combo * Webster Roll * Ruby Red Roll And it was AMAZING! The quality of the sushi is spectacular. We enjoyed every piece, and everything was sooo delicious. They're not offering dine-in right now, so we enjoyed it at home. My boys loved it, it filled us all up, and while it is a little pricey, it's sooo worth it. read more

Mighty Sushi - 2nd time they ruined my order! Told them twice: NO SPICY! They still added it. The same lady lied & said I didn't say it. I'm pissed! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pahoa, Hawaii

They are accomodating. We've always done carryout. They have never had indoor seating when we have been there. Food is good. Service is a bit slow - they take their time. read more

The food was so delicious, came out quick, and was a great price. The owner was super helpful as well. We eat a vegan diet and she told us about the options available for us. Great spot, very generous roll size for the vegetable futomaki. read more

Note: Still takeout only, as of November 2025. Very friendly staff, and one of the best restaurants of any kind in Pāhoa. Not always the fastest, especially during rush time, but worth the wait. Reasonable prices. So much better quality and pricing than the other sushi options around. Definitely would recommend. (I couldn't find the full menu anywhere online, so I took pics if every page.) read more

Great place to go for a quick lunch or Pau Hana! Service is always good. It's a tiny hole in the wall but I've been going there even before the Volcano stopped time!! read more

Love this little place. The sushi is delicious. I'm a creature of habit so I usually stick to the salmon lava, unagi and rainbow rolls. The fish is fresh, the fried roll isn't ever over cooked and the portions are generous. The staff is always really kind and grateful. Not sure how they ended up as a pickup window but I'm happy to get to support them and enjoy yummy sushi without having to drive to Hilo. read more

Okay I'm have to give a four star only because I feel it's a shame they don't really have their space reading for in house dining! Not saying we haven't dinned inside but they have a pop up dinner tray for ordering at the door. I believe they have more business and thrive if they made their space inside inviting and open for the local families and visitors to find some rest and inviting environment that could really show off their Ono grinds! I have had their food multiple times their poke bowls are great if you're an onion lover bc there is a lot of onions! I love their shoreline combo we leave with good that fills us up for our family size of six with spending about 50-60 read more

Massive rolls is correct One won't leave hungry, maybe craving more orders for next time.

soo good everytime! love their california roll with spicy mayo. just tried chicken karagee plate and it was super yummy as well. typically pretty quick service and well priced! read more

The sushi was impressive. When I was handed my to go boxes of sushi rolls I was pleasantly surprised that it had weight meaning that I got some "beefy" sushi to enjoy. Am really glad I gave the place a shot. I will continue to order when in need of sushi! It appears to be mostly to go now, although it looked like there was s tourist family sitting inside, and when it was time to pay chef told me to come in. I recommend this place! I also liked the massive amount of roll options they have created. read more

Giant sushi rolls and tons of options. No dine in, but that's ok. We ordered 6 rolls for 2 people and it was way too much food. We probably would've been full with half of what we ordered. Great price too read more

Absolutely delicious! I had a day of disappointing businesses and mediocre restaurants and then I came across this simple lovely Sushi shop, late on a Sunday evening. I got all this deliciousness for $20 plus tip. Fair prices, freshly made by a family business. Perfect! read more

Mighty Sushi - Perfect box of yummy! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pahoa, Hawaii

If there was a zero star this would be it! 1st there open but you can't go in. To go orders only. Ok they had a tiny dirty table outside with no napkins or any utensils ect. Ok no problem, my girlfriend ordered a roll so we could give them a try. Waited 20 minutes for 1 roll. Was given to me with no bag or chopsticks ect. We sat outside and the roll was dripping in wet oil. Wasn't edible at all. I kindly went back inside to ask if perhaps she would give me a salad or something else. The "owner" responded no refund, I asked again no I'm just asking if we could get something else. No I told you. Don't waste your time or money read more

Food was ok. Disappointed that it took almost an hour (54 minutes) and the fried oysters and rice were cold. Think I might have been overcharged too. Ordered a fried oyster plate, two hamachi sashimis, one spicy hamachi gunkan, one spicy ahi gunkan and one unagi nigiri. Bill came out to $66.50. That could be the price, but looked higher than what I could see on their menu online. The electronic receipt does not show any detail. Price is what price is. But super long wait and cold hot food not nice. read more

Fried oyster plate is so Ono!!! This place is really good. Take out only here. Definitely give this place a try.

I definitely recommend this sushi place. The service was amazing and they were very nice. Got the island roll and best one I've had. Highly recommend this place. read more

The food here is amazing! The rolls are huge and the fish is fresh. It is takeout only so I recommend calling ahead unless you want to wait 30 minutes. The staff is sweet and helpful. I picked up sushi twice from here during my vacation! It's that good! read more

Delicious food. Will definitely be back. Taste fresh very kind workers. My new go to place. read more

Solid, reasonably priced sushi with a large (if hard to find online) menu. Stars allocated taking into consideration the location/alternatives. Not accounting for Chicago, LA, NY, or SF sushi experiences - take a breath, enjoy the island air and the chill vibe, and scale expectations accordingly. We don't have traffic or blaring sirens or Michelin stars - look for solid options with friendly service. Anticipate a bit of a wait - it's a small spot and sushi is not fast. Chillax - it's Hawaii ;) Had spicy scallop & avocado futomaki and a sunshine roll - rice was not gummy or overly sweet (two personal peeves), but be warned there is quite a bit of it. If you are looking for sleek, Manhattan basement style rolls - these are not they. These rolls are filling, feature very fresh fish, and are made for the middle segment, spice wise. If you want truly spicy fish, you'll have to ask for it. Or slather wasabi on it. Ate with a group in which everyone was happy. I overheard that the Miso is bomb. Definitely will be trying more now that I have more menu saved. Attaching a bunch of pics in attempt to capture it. read more

This is a nice small restaurant with a homey vibe. Everyone is very nice, but the food does take a while to get there, even if you're the only ones there. On the other hand, this allows for nice conversation before the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is not fancy in any way, but it has its own charm. It is a quiet, mellow place and we even saw a gecko on the wall which we enjoyed. The food was pretty good. The specialty rolls were great, but some other foods not so much. Their miso soup was not tasty, and the salmon skin salad was more of a fried fish salad. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet environment to eat some sushi this is a great choice, but get the specialty rolls for the best experience. read more

Wow!! This place keeps getting better and better. I can confidently say that this is the best sushi restaurant on the Bigisland. I've been coming here for years and it's so nice to eat at a place where the food is consistent in regard to taste. Today I ordered the spicy tuna bowl and added tempura on top. Bruhhhhhh. Was soooo ono! Not only was it the best sushi bowl that I've ever had but for 11.99$ you can't beat that price. The amount you get for that price was a great deal. read more

Mighty Sushi - Spicy tuna bowl with tempura on top and a island roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pahoa, Hawaii

My family stopped for dinner. Terrible that they have tables and chairs but say so dine in, only take out. You lost business! If you want "fresh sushi" this is not the place to go. read more

The man serving was friendly and the order was ready when i arrived. The tempura was good but the sushi was not, the rice was stodgy and only one small container of miso was provided for a $60 order. I see a lot of the reviews are old so maybe it changed hands. Try Sakura in Hilo there is no comparison. read more

I checked this place out because of my love for sushi but I wasn't pleased with the food. Upon entering I was greeted immediately and the lady that took my order was nice but the rice was gummy and it took over 30 minutes for me to receive my food but I did eat all of it so there you have it 4 Stars ... I won't highly recommend like I usually do so this location would be your choice to choose and besides I don't know of any other place that sell sushi in Pahoa so this may be your best choice. If you're on a lunch break be sure to call your order in before because there is a long wait even though the place is empty inside. Parking is great and location is next to gas station and other shops etc.. read more

This was a great sushi place! We had the spicy tuna hand roll, seaweed salad, red flower roll, spicy tuna roll, and ruby red roll; all were delicious! Extra points for the reasonable price, especially for yummy fresh fish, and the staff was very nice. read more

Gave me severe food poisoning and the sushi itself wasn't even good. Too much rice and fell apart easily.

Called order in and was told the wait was gonna be 20 mins. Got there and food was ready and ONO! Ended up eating in, bust wasn't given any water! read more

Absolutely the worst sushi I've ever had in my life. I love supporting local businesses but brah, they burned the fried roll I got and the sauce that was on some of my sushi was putrid. There are far better options than this, this is the worst restaurant on the island. And there is absolutely no way this place passed their health inspections. In no way shape or form would I recommend anyone ever come eat at this place. read more

This restaurant never misses! We had dinner the other night here and it was Just every dish the Tea and the Miso Soup were perfect. If you like good Sushi this place is a MUST!!! Kevin N. read more

I ordered a Dragon Roll. It was the worst sushi roll I ever had: The order took 30 minutes but when I entered I was the only customer. One take-out call did come in just as I was about to order. 2. The soft shell crab resembled a real soft shell crab in no way. It did not look, taste, or smell like one. It was fried to a dark brown, almost black hard lump. I could not tell if it was real, but my guess was it was not. There were no visible crab parts like claws, etc. 3. There was so little eel on top I could hardly find it. and the bbq sauce on the eel was horrible. It tasted like supermarket bottled sauce, and was smothered so thickly it dominated the tiny thin eel pieces. 4. The rest of the roll consisted of mostly rice. The vegetable ingredients were hard to see or taste. 5. It was covered, in little crispy things that looked and tasted like onions like grandma used to put on a green bean casserole that had no place on a sushi role. 6. The roll was poorly assembled and sloppily cut. It unrolled when carefully picked up with chopsticks. The pieces ranged from very thin to so fat they could not be eaten in one bite. I cannot tell you about the rest of the food here but this was so bad I will not bother to find out. read more

Great sushi, quiet place. Enjoyed the relaxed environment and nicely priced rolls. Will definitely come back! read more

i recently tried the scallops and was so pleased with it! the scallops came with rice and nice fresh tossed green salad. Good value, i don't remember how many scallops but enough that i could generously share with my hubby who had two orders of two different sushi rolls. It was a lot and certainly better for the money than Pineapples (5 scallops for $20? i think not!). I was a bit puzzled by the wait time but i believe the owners take pride in making each order to perfection. definitely going there again! ev Costello Pahoa resident oh! i forgot, also came with a bowl of miso soup that was yummy! read more

Since Covid they have gone to take out only, but the sushi remains excellently prepared from fresh ingredients. You can get everything from vegetarian to exotic. read more

Where do I begin? They were very nice people. That's where my compliments end. This was the worst sushi my friend and I have ever had. It was a mistake getting sashimi at a place like this. That was my fault. It wasn't fresh at all and it was too cold. We got a couple Spicy Tuna Rolls too. That's as easy as it gets. They were awful. Wayyyy too much rice and the rice was wet. It was not enjoyable at all. It's disappointing when you know a place like this has access to fresh fish but doesn't use it. I would wait u til you leave Pahoa if you're in the mood for sushi. This is not sushi. read more

I would give zero star if I can! This is literally the worst sushi place I've been to for as long as I can remember! Can't even get basic things right! Pretty sure the "sashimi" was in the cooler forever and we felt like we were chewing mud. Miso soup tasted like water, and Harland Sanders cooked much better chicken than their chicken katsu. The waitress is extremely rude about our complaints. Almost every thing sucks! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT come here, it will waste you money and time. read more

Mighty Sushi - Sashimi sucks! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pahoa, Hawaii

Great sushi! I usually take-out, since my kids don't care too much for sushi, but the restaurant has a nice, casual atmosphere. I hope to get a chance to sit and enjoy the setting and tasty food. The only reason I don't rate Mighty Sushi with 5 stars is because service is slow. If you don't have time to wait, call your order in. read more

The atmosphere is cute and inviting considering it's at the end of a strip mall. No air conditioning the night that I went there. I would give the service 1 star and the sushi 3 stars, which is the reason for my 2-star rating. The server barely spoke english and passed us on the water refill (but turned around, scanned the room and caught my eye-contact and then refilled our water). One word of great advice my boyfriend had from a bad experience was DO NOT make eye-contact or talk to the little boy that is hanging around in the restaurant. My boyf and his friend ate there, started talking to the little boy, and he didn't leave them alone for the remainder of their lunch. His parents didn't seem to care that he was basically bothering their customers. Not to be mean and say that you shouldn't pay attention to kids, but their experience was a little too much...and they both love kids!! I agree with the reviewer before me...don't sit down and expect your food there in a blink. It's going to take a good 15-20 minutes. You'll have to be very patient and have a lot of time free if you want you eat here. It seemed like there was only one guy making the sushi in the front. After we were finished with our meal our bill didn't come and really didn't look like it would be coming anytime soon, so we had to go up and pay it. We were there at around 6:00/6:30 pm on a weekday night and there were about 6 other people eating in the restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the sushi is OK and different from a lot of places, so I would probably go back, but definitely only a pick-up order instead of eating in!! read more

My wife and I and other family have become fans of Mighty Sushi. It is not a sophisticated place with great decor and smooth fast service. But it is a friendly casual small Hawaiian town restaurant with good food and has pretty good prices. They aren't the fastest, true, but it's a lot better than getting something wrapped in plastic from the market! We've become regulars, this is a nice place to eat. Ocean Sushi in Hilo may be a little better, but it's great that we have a sushi place this good in Pahoa. read more

I moved to Hawaii and have been searching for sushi spots to go to that are Celiac friendly. So far I found 2, Ebisuya in Hilo and now Mighty Sushi in Pahoa. It is in a strip mall like location, but don't let that stop you. The sushi is very fresh. The portions are ample and reasonably priced. The owner/sushi chef is very nice and was accommodating to my requests that everything had to be gluten free. My husband loved the unagi hand roll and his Hamachi roll. The red rose roll was yumminess yum and so was the Kani roll,which had real crab! The misogyny soup was traditional and hot. Our server was very sweet with a gorgeous smile. We felt taken care of without the feeling of hovering or over soliticing one finds in most places. The place is clean and quiet,allowing for low conversation with out the need to yell. This my favorite place now for sushi and it doesn't hurt that it's only 12 minutes from our house. read more
