Went on a Saturday for the all you can eat sushi but they said it's only mon-thurs. So I just ordered their steak hibachi plate and yikes the portions were not it especially for that price. 3 stars because the workers were really sweet. read more

The AYCE sushi is such a rip off. It's $30 for lunch and $40 for dinner but that's not including the premium which is $20 extra on top. Also they made us pay for our 3 year old for AYCE even though she doesn't eat sushi she only ate noodles but since she sat with us she got charged half price of the AYCE. Don't even get me started on the menus. The "Regular" menu for AYCE is garbage. It's barely anything for Nigiri even tuna is premium. I'll attach the photos of the menu bc I couldn't find any pics of it before coming here. The servers were also rude and was not polite and granted we had a party of 5 but the restaurant was empty and it still took a while just for us to get our food. You can only order up to three things per person when you order and then it also takes 25-30 mins to get your food so it's just not a fun experience bc you also can't even order more food until EVERYONE at your table finishes their food. My friend and I ordered a Diet Coke and it took asking 4 times and over 25mins to get one Diet Coke and we ordered two of them... If you want a good AYCE experience on the island go to Waikiki and eat at Kan Sushi you'll pay just a little more but it's 1000% better bang for your buck and a better experience. This was a complete waste of money and I would not recommend anyone to come eat here for AYCE Sushi. Only eat regular sushi or habachi they are decent when it comes to that. read more

What can improve? EVERYTHING. This place deserves 0 stars if I could do 0 stars. My family wanted to eat here, but I did hear that this place sucks from other people! First red flag, we came with my children, nephew, mom, aunty, and little sister. That was a total of 5 children. The host then says "maybe next time leave the children at home." Like WTH?! Lol okay, that baffled me. They have a rule that only limits you to order 3 items per person, per round. That's fair, I guess... BUT then our server takes forever to come back to take our next round. Mind you, we're on a 90 minute limit. It took almost 20minutes for our first round -- currently waiting for the second round as I write this!! Our server, is also not providing the best service. Or any lol. This place is literally so bad. Even the hibachi was bad. Do better. What is this?? My 90 minutes is almost up already. I'm irritated big time. Sumo Sushi by Ala Moana more better, I like walk out!! BAD SERVICE AND BAD WORKERS!! Also, sorry to keep adding, NO MORE AC. HOT AF IN THIS RESTAURANT!! read more

Given only because the wait staff (Alex) & Runner/Busser (Rhiana) was VERY GOOD.. If I was just them they would get .. The down fall was with the Manager/Bartender (Skye) & Kitchen.. We made our reservations for 1p & got sat by Alex. He came by a few minutes later to take our order (All you can eat), prior to him coming Rhiana came to ask for our drink order (we only ordered water at that time). When Alex took our order we ordered 1 sushi roll & about 6 dishes & 2 drinks (Alcohol). About 20 minutes later our food started to come out, but really slow.. Like 1-2 dishes every 10 minutes. After being there for 2.5 hours we still didn't receive all that we ordered the 1st time & by the time the other half of our order came out we were full & wanted to leave. Once we ordered Alex went straight to the register & started putting in our order so I know the delay wasn't on Alex's side. About 10 minutes after ordering Alex reminded the manager of our drinks (2nd time). About 15 minutes after that as I walked to the bathroom I ran into Rhiana & asked if she could check on our drinks. We finally got our drinks almost 30 minutes later. It was AWFUL.. It tasted like vodka mixed with water added food coloring & lihing Mui on the rim. It was their 1st day of the ALL YOU CAN EAT & they were obviously UNDER STAFFED.. The workers were over worked.. I really enjoyed it when its was Hibachi style.. I hope they improve.. read more

AYCE sushi Too much rice 5 pieces of sushi will equal to a bowl of rice 10 pieces of sushi equal to 2 bowls of rice This is not a sushi restaurant, it's a rice restaurant The chef who mades the sushi , squeeze the rice and it comes out very hard. The fish are cut very thin. Besides taking food orders and serving it , the waiter has no personality. No thank you , no hello , don't come around to ask if everything is okay . Why should I even tip him? Will not come back, $28 for 3 bowls of rice. Too much c carbohydrate. read more

The food was very good. The price and quality is worth the visit. The service was very good and Wee-Wee (spelling?) was very friendly and helpful. Our cook over the grill was also funny and friendly. He was very good and made the meal taste better. Though it's loud the ambiance is nice. We four sat at a table of 8. There were only 2 others at our serving who we didn't talk to. However, we were all entertained. My wife and I got the VIP combo which included veggies, steak, calamari, noodles and chicken. The meal also comes with a salad and miso soup. It was great. And it was under $50 for the two of us! The fried ice cream dessert was also good. read more

To start the all you can eat sushi is a lie. The menu is so limited. At one point we were wondering if we would get any sushi to eat the wait was way too long. Then the food came, on our next order we were told sushi was too busy order from kitchen only. So we were stuck eating gyoza, shrimp tempura and miso soup. The sushi took another 8 minutes. The sushi was terrible not fresh, we ordered hamachi and the waitress said it's frozen. I will never eat at this place again. They won't be around long with the service and low grade sushi being served. Half a star! Don't waste your time. read more

Wanted to try the premium all you can eat lunch and gotta say was very disappointed. All the nigiri tasted fishy and they packed on the rice for each nigiri. Service was poor as you can only order 3 dishes per order which is fine but each order took 10-15 minutes and the place was empty. Can't imagine how long it would take if the place was busy. Even the drink order took 10-15 minutes each time. The best part is I just got home a little while ago and threw everything back up. Definitely never going back. read more

The service is nice at least, very sweet hostess. There was an hour wait time for all you can eat and then when we were seated barely anyone was in there so the time didn't make sense. They limited you to only 3 rolls per round which would've been fine if they came out fast but they didn't. We waited for about 15 minutes and food wasn't out yet. We saw ants and gnats flying around the soy sauce which ultimately made me and my friend leave before the food came out. read more

I should have known by the prices? Maybe if we had eaten it there it would have been a different story. I really hope so! I wanted to like it, but it was so bad. Little flavor. Chicken teriyaki was hard. The salad? What a joke, literally lettuce in a cup. Very disappointed. We eat sushi everywhere we go and this was by far our worst experience. read more

April 28th 2026- I was part of a group of 7 adults and 1 child celebrating a birthday and we decided to try out there new AYCE sushi menu ( lunch time 28.95) Where do I begin? It literally started the second I walked thru the door, when I recieved an unfriendly greet from what I thought was the host but yet to find out later during our experience she was the manger. Skye was her name. I work the industry I when I checked in I asked if I get the cost for 1 person with tax, Skye didn't seem to understand so my question as I was replied with it being 28.95 and I repeated that I'd like to how much it is with tax, she makes a face , tossed menus in her hand and proceeds to the pos system to check the total for one person, she then mumbles something and I stopped her So i can explain to her that I'm asking this so I can let my party know so when the bills we can be on it! We are now being sat after 30 minutes from checkin til my entire party showed up ( remember this part it's crucial) we walk in and she demands for my 2 yo niece to stand against the wall; to determine her height if she pays or, the rule is 3 ft and below is complementary she was just under; but SKYE says she is half off but we're like no it's her hair and her crocs. Which it was so we thought we cleared that up. We weren't in too much of a rush but it's lunch time and we're hungry so we were immediately ready to order and our waitress Wee-Wee, she did an okay job, given the circumstances of her manager SKYE's attitude and managerial skills probably messes with the employees functionality. The food was mediocre ; and the 3 per person rule kinda didn't make sense, because you have to wait for all items in that order to come out. So instead of ordering one by one couple at time we had to take advantage of our waitress taking our order so we ordered the max for each person which for our group was 21 items, so therefore order is huge. Fast forward to end of service, Skye pretends to check on a table , stares our table down ( looking at the amount of food ) serves us this HORRIBLE frozen powdered cake ( oh I forgot it was my best friends birthday ) and then proceeds to tell us she'll be charging us for extra food! Mind you it wasn't not that much, we work industry and we are foodies we try not to waste, but she proceeds to tell us we'll be charged. So I ask "what do you suggest we try to finish so we don't get charged" she says nothing and walks away. Check comes, it's $10 extra per person! Crazy. Now on to the bill, back to my 2 yo niece, who is also under 3ft is being charged to and dine & extra food charge! That is when I decided this place is horribly ran and we were never coming back. We call Skye over and tells us we measured her in front she's 3 ft and we're like no she's not but doesn't because the menu is 3yo and under she said she'll take care of it this time , but next time time she won't. So I asked " well if she comes back when she's two she still complimentary." She said you have a point . Like what ?! That pretty much ended our experience and I hope if you are going to celebrate a special occasion and appreciate good service, HOSPITALITY, and good food. Then please turn away. read more

Ok I've gone back here about 3 more times now and I'm just happy with everything. Great severs, food comes out quick. It's always tasty. Also this is a small detail but their soups always come out at the MOST PERFECT TEMP. I've never burned myself and my kid gulps it down as soon as it arrives to the table. I also just like that it's perfect for anything. Anytime, any occasion. This is my new "usual spot" ~ Oh I almost forgot to mention it's cost efficient!!! With specials! Ambiance is always chill and comfortable and I could honestly go every day ~ read more

I really enjoyed all the food, it was really good. I ordered the Agedashi tofu, fried banana with ice cream & shrimp and vegetable tempura as well. I enjoyed the 90s/2000s music they played. It was like you were in a club but at dinner. The employees were nice as well. My new favorite spot. read more

Came here for Mother's Day luncheon, and 4 of us ordered the Teppanyaki. The chef was quite skillful, and everything was flavorful. Best bet is to order combination meals, if you have no allergies, go for a seafood and steak combination with garlic fried rice. There was plenty of food and we were all stuffed afterward. The cooks put on a good show, including the huge flame-up at the beginning to catch everyone's attention. read more

Had the worst experience here ever!! My other half and I went on a Tuesday night June 30th around 7:30pm. First the hostess was not friendly at all. No smile or anything upon entering the restaurant. It was our first time there and instead of telling us the "rules" she told us in a very rude and demeaning way to read the rules before she takes us to our table. Mind you the rule we're already on the table, she would have sat us and asked us nicely to read the rules but no that didn't happen. Then our server he was somewhat nice but mostly paid attention to bigger parties. The only time he had come to our table was to see if we were ready to order. Not once did he come by to ask how things were or if everything was alright. He filled our water once and mind you he barely filled my glass even though there was still water in the pitcher which i found very odd. Food wise it was a very horrible experience. The nigiri was more rice than fish. Honestly I go to a sushi place for the fish but here I could not even taste the fish, all I could taste was the rice. The fish slices for the nigiri are so small compared to the rice portion. I feel like I could have been more satisfied gone to don don donki and gotten better sushi from them. Over all we will not be dinning here and I will be telling people about my experience here. read more

Went on a Friday night for the teppanyaki grill. Service was quick and food was well prepared. Many of us in our party ordered the dinner combo for two. The price is reasonable. We ordered edamame, California roll, and calamari for appetizers. Quality of food including our dinner was great. I've been here several times and it's been consistently good. It's a good place for big groups if you are celebrating a special occasion. I've gotten the semi-private from for a party that fits 15-20 people and all our servers were prompt and attentive. I would come here again to dine in. read more

Wait Experience -Got there 4:45pm. Was told we would need to go on the list and we will have to wait till 7-8pm. -Returned 6:45pm asked for a menu for the AYCE the hostess said my manager will come to speak with you about the AYCE and wait will be till 9pm. -Told her our name was already on the list. -Got a menu sat inside to wait. * Gnats all on the walls and flying around in the waiting area inside. -A lot of people started coming out around 7pm and we got called that our table was ready around 7:45pm. Dining in experience * Got sat in the back room. Restaurant was empty. Kind of confused why it took so long to get a table that there was so much open tables. * Again noticed Gnats all on the walls at our table. * Bathrooms were dirty. * Server had really bad breath. Had hard time understanding what she was saying and she had a a hard time understanding what we were saying. She would get closer to you as you backed up but the smell kept getting stronger. * My chopstick fell on the ground so I went to pick it up and wrap it in a napkin so that the waitress could toss it....I looked and there was another pair of used chopsticks from a previous party under the table. * There was what looked like ketchup or some kind of sauce splatter on the wall in front of us. * We asked for hot tea. They brought out the hot tea pot and gave us regular drinking cups to drink the tea out of because they didn't have hot tea cups. Weird. * Tea pot was duuussssttyyy. Idk if it's a newer restaurant you would think it would have been better up kept. Pros of the night -Great options to choose from either sushi or the tempenyaki dishes. - Good price for an AYCE sushi place. AYCE but the more red flags throughout the night the more I lost my appetite. read more

I don't do much reviews, but I felt like this restaurant needed it. It was my first time here; I honestly don't know how the food is because I didn't even get a chance to try it. I did not have good service. I stood at the "check in" podium for 10-15 minutes without being helped. Two workers came by, one walked right past me without acknowledgement and the other went to the podium to put away menus but didn't even make eye contact with me. After that, we were quick to leave and make our way to a different restaurant. read more

Food was really terrible. Ordered a udon soup for my child it was so bland told the server she took it to the back and brought it back still terrible. Notified server again and she took the food came back saying the manager took 10% off for the uneaten food. Like what? I didn't argue but that the worst excuse ever to not take some bad food off the bill and force the customer to pay. Avoid this place it's really disgusting. read more

The food is alright but one thing that really caught me off guard was that their spicy ahi was bright red 40 red.

Too bad I can't give a negative number. Worst food and service I've had at a sushi restaurant. Avoid this place like the plague.

Restaurant is beautiful and the foods okay but youre better off at Genki or Sushi Bay. No sauce for shrimp tempura or shumai, 15min waits between courses, a misspelled menu and busted bathrooms held together with literal packing tape. At 2:30 they shut off the music and lights and shut down the kitchen with no warning or request for last call. Shoutout to the poor party of 10 they left hanging after a single course and an hour wait as I gave up, hopefully yall got your money back or at least a steep discount. read more

I came here for food a go go restaurant week. It's actually 3.5 stars! It was my first time here and it's kind of a far drive out in kapolei, but there is a lot of parking since they're located at the mall. The restaurant itself does not take any reservations for 5 or less people. It's walk in basis only, but it didnt seem like it was much of an issue since it was really slow. There was maybe 3 other parties the entire time we were there. The service itself was a little slow. You definitely need to plan 2-3 hours there especially if you're going for the teppenyaki. They had 3 items for restaurant week promotion, but the funny thing was the servers had no idea about it. I literally had to show them the post. The other thing was that the photos that was shown during their media promotion was not what was offered as the special for the sushi portion of it. Their sushi boat that was being featured was definitely the item that drew us to the location, but upon going there they said that item doesn't even exist and it was just for photos for social media people. The other thing was that usually it's a promotion off their menu item. The sushi roll was the same price, the sushi boat was not existent, and the hibachi combo for lunch was cheaper than advertised. Perhaps that the advertised price was meant for dinner but they should specify that. Despite the mishaps - it was actually the teppenyaki chef that saved the day! It was very interactive from other places I've been to from the beginning to end. It is very fun too and they'll also squirt sake to you if you're not shy. The food itself is pretty good for the teppenyaki portion. The sushi was fresh. The agedashi tofu was a little bit on the sweeter side so I didn't really enjoy it, and the fried ice cream was a little doughy and didn't seem like it was fully cooked. This is a great place to take your friends out for an extended lunch and it's really affordable too. I'm glad they had this at the least for food a go go, otherwise I probably wouldn't have even attempted to even try this place. read more

Great spot for sushi - of course. It's in the name! Fairly reasonable in price and the service was good. Very much on top of checking on our table. I love that. Style for dinner would be like Benihana where they cook it in front of you. I highly recommend the lunch menu though as it's got plenty and decent prices. Wife got the chicken lunch plate and it was delicious. Great fried rice upgrade (worth it) and the chicken was delicious. Tempura was better than the eel. I wouldn't get the eel again. Skimped on the eel so I probably won't do that one again. He atmosphere is very inviting and calming to me. I love the Asian culture so I felt at home. read more
