Being my first omakase experience, it was amazing! It's some of the best sushi I've ever had the menu was so diverse and definitely worth it. I even got to try sea urchin for the first time which was also a first! The atmosphere was peaceful and my group had our own room. The chef was very friendly and when I made a drawing on a plate out of sauce, he took it to the back kitchen to show everyone. This was such a fun experience and I'd love to come back!

Used to be my favorite place for sushi. Felt so at home here and we went all the time. Loved the BYOB aspect and the sushi chef Sho always served the best fish. They tried to make improvements by renovating the counter which was okay but honestly I liked the other classic look where we could see what kind of fish was available. They also stopped the BYOB because they started to sell alcohol. Actually you can still BYOB but the corkage fee is ridiculously high so not worth paying it. Despite these changes I was still willing to make this our go to place for sushi. My low rating is because they ruined the place by making it MANDATORY to order the omakase. I don't want to be forced to get the omakase when I know what I like to eat and that's what I want to order. I've been going here for so many years and I am truly disappointed that loyal patronage means nothing to this family owned business. Sho is still awesome and I'm sorry that he has to be subjected to these changes too. He seemed so much happier before they made these so called "improvements ". If they change their policy back to allow people to order Ala carte without mandating the omakase I would return. Not sure if that will ever happen. If customer loyalty means anything to them, perhaps they will. We shall see....

Shrimp tempura, yakisoba, sushi, rice, inari..,

We where here for a baby shower. Large area with beautiful views of downtown and the Pacific Ocean. Service is great, plenty of food from inari sushi, California rolls, spicy tuna and more. Delicious Japanese eggplant that is marinated in a sweet soy sauce vinaigrette- delicious. Crispy shrimp tempura, tempura veggies from kabocha to mushrooms. Chicken teriyaki, teriyaki beef short ribs were delicious as well as the yakisoba. Valet parking.

Chef Sho does it again! I think this is my 3rd time here and it's always amazing! The atmosphere is so chill, clean and renovated since the last time I came. The omakase set was delicious and we also had extras like a steak, agadashi tofu, chawan mushi, squid, and a very delicious matcha and strawberry cheesecake for dessert. Mycah (owner) was such an awesome host and made us feel so special. You did great things to the experience especially with a bottle of sake & a birthday candle in my cheesecake. Visited the little koi pond in the back. Party of 4 slowly rolled out of this wonderful place since Mycah did not have 4 wheelbarrows to help us. This was a perfect dinner! Even the valet dudes were so friendly! Mahalo!!

Went to this restaurant for a Christmas party. Great view of the city and a nice, open comfortable place. The food was good. Plenty of choices for the party. Everything was presented nicely. Fried items were crispy, flavorful. Salads and fruits were nice and fresh. Staff were super nice and accommodating. Great atmosphere.

Attended a dinner. Good food fellowship. Nice view. Service was good. Valet $8.00 plus tip. Four parties the night I went. The fish was a bit salty but everything else tasty. No one else knew about the WWII - spy reporting about Pearl Harbor...oh well.

Soft shell crab- 5/5

It's been to so long since I last dined at Natsunoya Tea House. They have been around and are known to have hosted many weddings and banquets. Did you know tucked within is a sushi bar that seats 12 diners? It was my first time dining at the sushi counter and the experience was unforgettable. You have the options of ordering omakase, nigiri, hand rolls, and cooked items from the kitchen. Everything was good and no complaints. Service was on point with lots of smiles making me feel as though I'm dining at a good friend's place. Reservations are suggested and spots get booked weeks out. They are open Wednesday- Saturday.

Brought our own sake

Went to the sushi bar for the first time....lets just say...I will be back...for $90 per person it's a omakase. 14 pieces of nigiri and 4 items from the kitchen. You can do byob and there is a 14.00 or 15.00 corkage. But they do have sake, wine and beer . Everything was superb! Fish was so fresh. Service was stellar!!! There are about 10 seating at the bar so definitely make sure you make reservations on line !

Food buffet, menu A

I've been here a number of times over the years, and I must say, it's a wonderful place to enjoy a special occasion! I had a surprise baby shower here in one of private cottages, attended a company holiday party, and hosted my son's first birthday party here. All were outstanding experiences! The food here is high quality and crafted carefully. Many people say their shrimp tempura is the best they've ever had. I have to agree that it's quite good and fresh! We recently booked the Nigo room upstairs for a 1st birthday party. What I especially love is that you can bring your own pupu, desserts. and drinks! They provide ice for .50 cents a guest, which is so reasonable! When we arrived, everything was already set! The AC was on and running cold. The extra tables I requested were already set up with tablecloths. Even the ice water and hot tea they provide were out. That was fabulous! We arrived an hour early to set up and with all our extra hands, that was enough time. The room can seat up to 50, and we had about 35. I probably wouldn't push it past 40. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that the view from in there is absolutely stunning! Nearly 360 degrees of ocean and urban Honolulu! Breathtaking! We choose buffet A, which was $32/person. The food spread was delicious! We had rice, noodles, macaroni salad, fruit, regular salad, hibachi chicken, agedashi tofu, teriyaki beef, and shrimp and vegetable tempura. Our room attendant was thoughtful, polite, prompt, and checked in on us many times. I loved how homey the room felt. We were upstairs and had our own bathroom. It felt nice and secluded from others. Don't hesitate to book a party here. They do a great job!

My review, 15 years ago of Natsunoya Tea House was slim and thin. It's high time I update this review with the happenings: Preface to say that during the Pandemic, Natsunoya was my place to pick up ready made food, aka bento boxes. After the Panedemic; regular catered dinners resumed including the Furo-Ba Sushi room Finally!!!!!! after 15 years my dining partners and I had a meal at the Furo-Ba sushi room. Reservations recommended because Furo-Ba is not open everyday (Wednesday-Saturday open 5-9 pm) . There are 12 seats that make up the Sushi bar and 2 high tops that would seat an additional 4 people. So- therein lies a more important reason for your reservation. In addition to the sushi and sashimi menu, there are kitchen items you can order. We had the agedashi tofu, hamachi kama, chicken karaage, soft shell crab, veggie and shrimp tempura and the infamous sashimi omakase and all dishes pretty darn good. I'm not even going to discuss the price! Hint- another reason to dine there. Oh oh! Don't let me forget! it's a BYOB location I am not going to be a stranger to Natsunoya ever again! Not only is the food good, the staffing is fantastic, personable and courteous. Last point? There is a lot of history to Natsunoya Tea House who is over 100 years old. Go do your research! Then go to eat! #oldiesbutgoodies #Natsunoyateahouse #goodfood #winerules

Buffet food!
Starla T.

Six stars to Natsunoya because 5 stars isn't enough. I absolutely love Natsunoya's! Hands down the food is always so good. Some of my favorite are: tempuras (shrimp is a must), pulehu beef, steamed fish, potato/noodle mac salad. This review is more for those planning events. It was so easy to coordinate and work with Natsunoya to plan my event. They were patient with me and very helpful. I would totally have more events here in the future. Notes: -Read their website, it has a lot of helpful info. -Plan ahead! If you want a specific date, you need to plan and reserve early! -Nigo room is upstairs, there is no elevator so plan accordingly. - Arrive early, it's best to valet your car. Overall the staff were super helpful and food so tasty! I totally recommend having your next event there!

Elaine L.

Delicious food and affordable prices for large parties! It's truly a hidden gem located in the Liliha residential area. I would recommend booking ahead for large gatherings!

Tempura- a must order
Jenna S.

*Sushi Bar Review* came on a Wednesday for dinner and we were the only party, so the food came out fast! I made a reservation a couple weeks in advance. The parking is very easy. My favorite things were the tempura, oysters and Nigiri. The tempura batter here is perfect and it came out hot and crispy. The batter is so light and not greasy. The soft shell crab was also delicious but it wasn't hot when they served it to us. The oysters were fresh and the perfect size (Kumamoto I believe). I wish I had skipped the Omakase and just got a dozen or more oysters! The Omakase was good but I received the full/ large size when I ordered the small portion. Ribeye steak was a bit tough, wouldn't recommend ordering it. Stick with the sushi and sashimi! You order all the hot food with the waiter and Chef Sho will take all the sushi orders. Overall I highly recommend this place just because of the history and the sushi bar is nice and relaxing.

Does anyone have pictures of the nigo room?

Yes, my review below shows several shots. Would have posted here, but I don't see that feature.

They no longer do curbside pickup and only do catering, does that mean no dine in either?

Dine in is available. We dined in a few weeks ago. Best to call and ask

Is upstairs wheelchair/walker accessible?

No. It's an old house/building. Hallways are narrow.

Is this place baby stroller Accessable?

yes. i recall ramps at the entrance and first floor rooms

Is the tea house BYOB?

Yes it is

How much is the valet parking?

1/28/2020: Valet parking is $6 for the restaurant; parking is free in the lot for sushi bar patrons so Natsunoya recommends giving the valet a $2 tip

I have been here for banquets a long time ago but wondering if I can just come here for dinner or lunch for two?

Only the sushi bar has restaurant service. Rest of the space are for catered events.

Which led me to come out to town for their Maguro Fest at their store and let me tell you the quality of their fish, so good it melts in your mouth. Now, originally the prices are pretty pricy which you expect from sushi grade fish. The more fatty the tuna the more pricier it is but you know what treat your self, it's an experience. Since it was a limited time event, I get to try their otoro for half the price and you know what I'd come back for it again at its regular price to treat myself. Orders is through an iPad and you can pick through different categories and the amount of rice for your sushi.

I think you'd expect quality food/service but this place failed in both aspects. I did not have the choice of choosing where to eat since my friends wanted to eat here. It just so happens it fell during the weekend of the Maguro Fair. Upon ordering our toro sushi, I noticed from the first bite that the fish was extremely stringy and rubbery tasting... My friend also wanted to celebrate my Birthday here but there was no acknowledgment at all, when she had a whole group of people singing for her when we celebrated her here previously. I have already told everyone around me about my terrible experience and will not want to celebrate any occasion here in the future. I didn't even want to tip but felt bad and left it as a severance pay that I will never be dining here again... Hate to say that this also cancels my experience at their actual premium omakase location in Kapahulu. There are many other sushi places to go to and I will not be returning.

There is also draft beer and a good assortment of sake. We got a 12-piece sushi set, a sushi roll, and a tako appetizer. Everything was fresh and beautifully presented.

We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure.

For the whole experience it was rather enjoyable still how I remembered it used to be. There is ample parking in the back if you come early or street parking. It was a little difficult with someone with a walker but slowly we moved in and out so just need patience. Pricing was what I was are used to going out to eat sushi nowadays. I think they were supposed to give us a special dessert for I asked ahead of time and it wasn't brought. I didn't want to bother asking but this was a special day for them which I thought should possibly not be overlooked when people make reservations. Luckily I made a cake which they enjoyed at home. However the place is cozy, the food is fresh and the service is good.

I also don't understand how Yelp lists this place as a "good for kids". It's not. There wasn't a kids' menu and the dishes were not kid-palate friendly (other than maybe the basic California style hand roll). For example, the fried tofu had shredded ginger on top that permeated the dish and the karaage had a very mild (but present!) note of spice that reminded me a bit of buffalo sauce. Our waiter didn't even give us a heads up or point us in the direction of any dishes to consider for the kids (surely we must not be the only family who has brought kids to this restaurant). Lastly, I understand that the tempura brownie is popular but after tasting the "tempura" on the tofu I'm sure the brownie is just the star that shines through. The "tempura" on the tofu was gummy and not the authentic Japanese tempura we are used to (my husband, who is part Japanese, said to me "What is this?! Cornstarch?"). This is probably a great restaurant for drinks and hanging out with some adult friends but the rolls and appetizers were just not to our tastes. We were also sat outside when the restaurant was near empty inside and out (we went around 4PM) and it was a hot day (though the AC wasn't particularly cool enough for my preference inside either).

The chefs and staff also had a good sense of humor. At one point they served kinki fish and jokingly explained that the English translation sometimes gets called "idiot fish," which got everyone laughing at the counter. The omakase is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall experience made it very satisfying. If you're looking for a refined sushi experience with great service and beautifully crafted bites, this place is worth the splurge.
