Sumo Sushi on Keeaumoku offers the best AYCE on island in my humble opinion. The cost for regular AYCE (as opposed to premium) is $36.95/person all-day. Keep in mind that the whole table has to choose either regular or premium, which costs $10 more. Also, if you have a larger group (I believe 6 people or more), you have to pay a 20% tip. Parking is available at the Azure lot. Free the first hour! No need for validation. My boyfriend and I visited closer to 5PM on a Thursday. The restaurant was not yet busy. Staff were attentive from the start. One of the servers walked us through the menu. My boyfriend and I appreciate the quality of every food item. Everything tasted delicious! The quality of the food is unmatched here, especially given it's an AYCE spot. I really loved the rice to fish ratio for the nigiri. The garlic nigiri were addictive. The delicate crunch of the fried garlic slices were everything! Your AYCE also includes a free ice cream! What more can you ask for? Even the miso soup and mini udon tasted as if made in house, rather than some premade stuff. The service was friendly. The workers checked on our table regularly. Water only ran out at the end. My boyfriend and I agree that sumo is currently our top AYCE sushi restaurant. We will be back! read more

Sumo AYCE Sushi - Nigiri - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

You need that Sumo appetite... Along with the stealth speed and precise knowledge of what you're having because there is a lot going on in just 90 minutes. Yes that's the time you have so be sure everyone is there and start immediately as they will remind you down the the minute of your time left and give your last call and just because you do so you still need to consume it all so be mindful. Don't get me wrong I left with a full happy belly but as this was my first time just didn't know what to expect. The restaurant itself is kinda small but does best with seating it's just their menu there are two prices Classic for $36.95 and Premium for $46.95 and if one person gets the premium the whole table will be charged the same regardless so we all need to be on the same vibe. It's very clear which is Premium as it's highlighted in red and has the icon as well BUT there are a few items that are limit to 1 per person so if you two you can order it twice. What I do like is the clear ingredient information on more complex orders and portion size I think is just right as there's nothing more annoying than a large portion to fill you up and the sushi rice is tiny so you're not eating mostly rice as well. The staff check on you frequent enough that you know that you can put in your order in a timely manner and the food comes out quite fast as well. Parking is free upstairs in the building while the restroom is outside on the second level where you need a code to enter, drinks aren't included with the price but I had a nice experience and would definitely return. Thank you! read more

This is the best AYCE sushi on the island! They bring quantity, quality, and affordability on the table. Ususally, AYCE sushi spots will try to cut costs by supplying more rice to each piece, but not here--at least for the nigiri sushi. Their rolls are a little heavy on the rice for my personal preference, but it's likely because they also give PLENTY of toppings and sauce. I also love that their rice is fluffy and vinegary (it's actually sushi rice)! Of everything we ordered, I would highly recommend that you get the following: - Garlic Salmon - Seared Salmon - Corncheese Garlic Bread - Crispy Rice - KFC - Be Happy Roll Here's everything I would personally skip: - Takoyaki - Vege Tempura - Truffle Fries - Karaage - Jalapeno Bomb - Salmon Center Cut Steak - Cajun Tuna The interior is actually pretty small (but still cozy!) so tables fill up really quickly, especially during lunch or dinner rush. I would recommend that you get there by 5pm to secure a table! read more

This shiny, new business located on the corner of Keeaumoku and Makaloa is on the bottom of the Azure building near to Ireh. They do not take reservations so be prepared to wait if you go at a busy time. We went on a Wednesday night and waited around 30 min . There are around 8-9 tables with a 90 min time limit. It is $36.95 for the Classic AYCE and $46.95 for the Premium. No brainer if you are a sushi eater and like the higher end stuff. Funny a lot of the customers were big young local and Asian guys. At several tables there was no conversation since they were on their phones. Instead of talking they were getting their money's worth by stuffing themselves with sushi. No doubt this place has good value if you have a healthy appetite and enjoy sushi. We ordered a bunch of stuff but these were the faves. With the premium option certain items can only be ordered once . 1 piece only *oyster, *sweet shrimp, *uni, *salmon carpaccio *yellowtail carpaccio, *yellowtail collar *yuzu yellow tail *fresh water eel, *ikura,*Aomori scallop Dessert Melona bar sadly no nondairy options. Fast before you come and get even better value! read more

Great all you can eat place near Sam's Club in town! In my opinion it's worth getting the premium option, that lets you order ama ebi, uni, hamachi collar, oysters, and other expensive options. Note they do limit some dishes mentioned to just 1 per person so keep that in mind! Many many offerings that you just order from a menu. Their sushi rolls are huge. Walk the meal off at Ala Moana nearby for a great night. read more

We came here and tried the basic AYCE option at about $35. There was a pretty good number of options on the menu from rolls, nigiri, salads, soup/noodles, fries, appetizers, etc. I was not expecting much for the quality, but we were surprised how good the quality was for an AYCE place. The only down sides were that my 5 year old daughter (who only likes edamame lol) was still $16.96 lol, and also, it was extremely warm in there - both us and other tables we're sweating and fanning themselves with the menu. Overall though, we enjoyed this place and will be back :) We love that parking was easy as well (garage parking) read more

Sushi lovers unite! It's so nice to have another AYCE sushi place in town. The location is on Keeaumoku so it can get busy! We had a party of 4 and put our names down a little after opening. We waited maybe 30ish minutes as there were groups ahead of us, some left cause they didn't want to wait longer. The restaurant itself is pretty small. You can tell they aren't able to accommodate big parties and if you do, there's a good chance you'll be seated separately. But the food is made fresh to order, so I can imagine it can be hard to serve big groups. The menu is pretty straightforward. We opted for the premium menu, which allows us to order from the red items as well. The ones with the number next to it indicates the limit you can order (not AYCE). But if you have others in your group who don't want it, just take their share. They have many different items to order so it's great for picky people too! They also offer take out, but it will be regular priced, not part of the AYCE. The dishes were presentable and fresh! In some AYCE I've seen, they go more for quantity than quality. Sumos is definitely quality. I highly recommend! There may be a wait to dine, but it's worth it! read more

My 2-year old said she wanted sushi for dinner. So I was like perfect let's try Sumo instead of going to Genki again! They do not take reservations so I called ahead of time to see if there's a long wait. They said no. Ok let's go! I parked at the condo Azure (entrance to parking on Keaamoku) and it was free! Take the elevator down and that will take you to an exit right next to all the restaurants. So I arrived Sumo around 5:20. There were 2 empty tables so we were seated right away. My daughter got to eat free yay! (I'm not sure the cutoff age but when I told them my daughter is 2 they just said free) So there are 2 options: classic ayce $36.95 and premium ayce $46.95. I chose classic ayce and to me that was good enough I already got many items to choose from. I tried some nigiri, appetizers and rolls and they were all surprisingly good. The fish was good and they gave you big pieces with just little bit of rice so they're not trying to fill you up with rice. Service was fast and attentive. Servers were very friendly. Even got free ice cream at the end. Will definitely come back. Hopefully they will keep up with the good quality of food and service! read more

Decent newish AYCE sushi place! Inside Azure, there is also a lot in the building. Food - 4/5 I liked how the nigiris are smaller than usual so that I could eat more of them. The rolls were decently big though, so I wouldn't order too many if you want to eat a variety of items. If you are doing the regular AYCE tier, I would recommended the Be Happy Roll, it has soft-shell crab! The ice cream at the end was also a nice touch. Service - 4/5 Decent service. They were very fast at bringing out the food! Ambiance - 4/5 read more

Overall, the food is good, and most of the dishes are made to order. There are plenty of sushi options, although many feature the same type of fish with different sauces or toppings. My favorites were the corn cheese garlic bread and takoyaki. The sushi portions are small, which works well for an AYCE, it lets you try a wider variety of dishes. The sushi rolls were excellent as well. The service was decent. There is a limit on how many items you can order each round, and sometimes you'll have to wait a little while for a server to come by so you can place your next order. Parking is free and conveniently located in the same building. read more

Came for the all you can eat sushi. Super big portions but they do warn you. Good but expected better for Hawaii. Server was nice and the inside is clean. read more

Great price for what you can order. But be prepared to wait a little while since there aren't many tables.

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Parked on Makaloa Street for free, which I do not recommend. My friend and I felt anxious walking back to our car due to the passerby people. I think other options could have been parking at Walmart and walking over. We walked in at around 4:15pm on a Friday and we were seated right away. We chose to do the classic AYCE ($36.95), which consisted of us ordering a bunch of appetizers, nigiri sushi, and a premium roll. I do not recommend the crispy rice because it falls apart and it's just a bunch of spicy tuna slapped onto a small bed of rice. I liked my seared salmon nigiri's. The premium roll we ordered was the "Be Happy Roll" which was good but a lot bigger than we were expecting. We finished our meal with Ube Melona, which is part of the AYCE menu. The menu is pretty similar but limited compared to the AYCE sushi places in Las Vegas. I am wondering if this Sumo AYCE Sushi is related to the ones there. For $36+ AYCE this place was underwhelming. I do still recommend trying this place and deciding for yourself if it is worth it. If you do come here, come hungry because there is a lot to eat! read more

Cute little AYCE sushi on Ke'eaumoku St (same building as the Azure condos). Entrance to the parking lot of off of Ke'eaumoku (but we didn't try, and found street parking on Makaloa). Ala Cart or AYCE; 90 minute max seating with two price points, Classic $36.95 and Premium $46.95. Servers were attentive, everything we ordered came out in a timely manner. The only "different" thing I'd like to point out is that each round had a max order of 10 items. Totally understand why they do this. As a party of four, this did make ordering everything a little longer than anticipated. Bathrooms are not in the restaurant! Ask the servers for directions and the code, cause that's a mouthful to type out lol. read more

Sumo AYCE Sushi - Corn cheese garlic bread - so good! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

6/10 Very "mainland" ayce sushi spot. Owner is Korean- I found most of the sauces to be too sweet for my preference. We got the 36.99 ayce option. The best thing there was surprising the "stuffed tomato" which was salmon wrapped around imitation crab and the plain ahi and salmon nigiri. Fish quality isn't great but exactly what you would expect at ayce. Inside: Previous location where Domo Cafe was, TINY sitting area- maybe 20 ish people max and the tables were pretty close to each other. Service is alright, some were friendly and others seemed like this is their first job ever (which is totally ok!) LOL Parking: Convenient location with lots of parking in the Azure building. read more

Definitely recommend! Sushi is great, they don't give a ton of rice for a AYCE place, and you get a honeydew melona bar for desert. They are in their soft opening so only Dinner from 4-10pm for now. We had to wait 50 min, but it was worth it. We got there at 8pm, signed our name on the list, and got in right before their last seating at 9pm. I'd recommend being there by 7pm cause it's first come first served and there's only approximately 9 tables (rough estimate). Service is great. They explained the menu. For our table of 2 we were able to order 2 rolls and up to 8 other items at a time. Normal AYCE rules. 90 min and finish all our food. Food came out fast and they quickly got in another order. The staff was very attentive when we asked for another water pitcher and more ginger. Kind or a rough area to park. I'm not sure if they have parking but we just parked in a metered stall on the street. They also don't have beer, wine, or sake there yet in case you like to accompany your sushi with libations. read more

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... It was challenging to find someone to go with me to this new All You Can Eat sushi place on the ground level of the Azure condominium building on Keeaumoku Street, but my friend from Virginia was in town and she said she was game! We've known each other since the First Grade! I knew where the free parking was - go up the ramp from Keeaumoku Street and park in the stalls marked for the retail shops... not the guest stalls, because those are for guests of the residents. We didn't have a reservation, so we walked in around 4pm when Sumo AYCE Sushi opens. We easily got a table for two. Our server went over the two menu options with us. We both chose the Classic Menu for $36.95 plus tax and tip. We could order up to ten selections, including one roll, at one time. Our server had some issues counting and twice we received items that we didn't order. We were able to stay more than the 90 minutes limit - thank you! It was a bit noisy for our catch-up conversation, but the environment was clean, air-conditioned, well-lit, and modern. I think the smokiness from the open kitchen grilling or frying affected my eyes. They were tearing and felt irritated. The food was alright. We liked the lemon salmon, bulgogi garlic bread, salmon collar, melona bars, salmon skinbroll, and salmon carpacio the best. The garlic ahi and garlic salmon had a slight kick to them. The squid, shrimp, octopus, vegetable tempura, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, lasagna roll, edamame, and cucumber salad were okay. Overall, it was a fun experience! read more

very pleasantly surprised with the quality! good mix of sushi and cooked options, so there's something for everyone. we went with the premium option (entire table must choose the same option). wait for a tuesday evening was about an hour for 3 people. write your info on the clipboard at the door. there are outdoor tables to sit and wait at. the restaurant is pretty small, so there aren't many tables. i feel like it's best to come with 4 or less people given the space. you have 90 minutes to eat (we were pretty full after 60 tbh) and can order up to 2 rolls or 10 items per round. the food comes pretty quick and they don't cut corners by hoping you get full off the rice!! i think they have a machine that pre-prepares the size of the nigiri rice so it's all uniform (and appropriately sized) and also why orders come out fairly quick. if you're just looking for max quantity of food, the regular AYCE is totally fine. but if you're wanting premium options, it's worth the price! just know that some premium items have caps on them (like uni is one per person only). service was attentive! BYOB!!! they don't sell alcohol, but allow you to bring your own. read more

Just recently open Sumo AYCE sushi located at the corner of Keeamoku and Makaloa ground floor of the Azure condominium. This spot was the old Debu restaurant that didn't last too long . This AYCE Sushi has 2 different prices $36.95 & $46.95 the higher price you can order premium sushi 1 order per person . Premium for example will be Uni, oysters, yellow tail , sweet shrimp , yellow tail collar. No reservations accepted only walk in also all of your party must be present. It's a very small restaurant so be prepared to wait a little for a table . Luckily my friends and I got there around 5pm so we waited only about 10mins and got a table . Free parking available inside the Azure building entrance on Keeamoku . Service is pretty quick once you put your order in your sushi comes out right after . I was surprised for a volume sushi place the quality was not bad at all . Although they have the machine to form the rice it's not the real authentic sushi chef style lol . My favorite was their Garlic Tuna and the garlic Salmon. For dessert they have Melona bars Melon and UBE flavors. If you're looking for quantity sushi at a reasonable price this is the place .

First time here. Arrived around 4:30pm on a Sunday. Sign up sheet showed next available was at 6:30pm. It looked like people are getting in slightly earlier than scheduled though and we got in at 5:30. It's depends on how fast people eat and leave. It's brand new so it's nice and clean. There's free parking in the building, but only limited stalls for the retail customers. There's seats outside for people waiting. Service was good. Didn't have to wait for a server to take our order. Food was ok but it is a AYCE place so not expected a lot. Fish was fresh but spicy tuna was mush which wasn't a great texture. Lots of variety. We made the mistake of not looking closely at the back of the menu for more options. I'll may comeback later when the hype dies down and wait time isn't so long. read more

This place is connected to the Azure Ala Moana condo complex. I really wanted to love this place since we were staying close to this location. We did the premium all you can eat with 3 adults + 1 toddler. The pricing was confusing for the toddler and the waiter said that my toddler would be charged as much as an adult. It did not make sense so had to ask someone else to review. They apologized and said the toddler would only be charged $16.95. The food was just OK. I'd give it a 3.5/5 stars if possible. Some items that were supposed to be hot came out room temperature. We had to constantly order because there's a 10 item per round limit. If you had like 10 people in your party, would you still be limited to 1 item per person? I understand that this round limit is made so everybody can get food in a timely manner. However, the food came out very slow in every round. We spent a lot of time sitting and waiting for our food to come out. We had to waive down the waiter a few times to get refills on our water. The water containers are quite small. Honestly, I'd rather go elsewhere for AYCE sushi. read more

Service was excellent and for AYCE food was also. Dishes came to the table expeditiously while taste and presentation outkicked the coverage. Btw the upgrade to premium is well worth the extra $. Parking in Azure building is convenient and free for now. read more

Went here on a whim, found some free street parking and walked over. It wasn't busy yet when I came, this was maybe around 6:30. I was seated right away. Stand-out for me was the service. It was refreshing to see all the servers pretty much just helping everyone. Never once did I get told "let me call your server". Everyone just jumped right in. The flow was easy enough, you can order a maximum of 10 things from the front of the menu at a time. I didn't actually check what the limit was for the back part of the menu. Food came out pretty quickly and they got my orders right. The yuzu yellowtail and yuzu salmon were really bright, and the rest of the nigiri were not bad. Was this the best sushi I've ever had in my life? Not even close. But for the price and for what you get, I think it's worth the trip. What I liked was that the rice in the nigiri was small and appropriately proportioned to the fish slices. They also had A LOT of options. I got the Premium AYCE and I figured that if I ate maybe 7 things, I would've made up for the price. Well, I ended up eating 21 things! My big mistake was ordering the lobster roll. I was doing really well until I ate that and BAM! I felt like a brick just landed in my stomach and I could not eat another bite. It made me uncomfortably full which is something I always hate. If not for that, I would've been completely fine. So, pro tip: DON'T order anything with cream cheese or potatoes in it, try to avoid anything fried or super heavy, or any of the rolls, if you want to maximize the AYCE experience. Those things are PACKED and you will get super full right away. For the price, you might be better off doing those à la carte and saving the AYCE for the nigiri, carpaccio, and collars. You can also get a melona bar for dessert which was a nice palate cleanser. The ambiance is simple and pleasant, it can get a bit loud but you can still have a normal conversation through the din. It did get pretty busy around 7 or 7:30, and a line was forming when I left at around 8. All in all, it was a pleasant experience and it was a nice addition to the multitude of restaurants in town. read more

Sumo Sushi is doing just about everything right when it comes to AYCE sushi. Service is very friendly and food comes flying out of the kitchen not too long after you place your order. I really appreciate that the nigiri has smaller blocks of rice paired with generous slices of fish - they're not trying to intentionally stuff you full of rice. There's also a wide variety of rolls to try that cover the whole sushi spectrum, so you can stick with your classics or sample the farfetched, such as the "Japanese Lasagna Roll" (delicious, by the way). Get here early or be prepared to wait! There is a well deserved line out the door during peak dinner hours, so don't be surprised if you'll have to wait a bit for a table. read more

had a pleasant time at this new AYCE sushi in town! we put our names down around 5:30 for a party of 6 and were seated within 45 minutes. while party must be present to be seated so make sure everyone is on time! we chose the classic menu and enjoyed everything we ordered. the service was surprisingly fast; food came out very quickly and our waiter was taking our next order as soon as the previous one arrived. i'd recommend coming with no more than 4 people. they limit you to 10 plates and 1 roll per order so with 6 of us that meant we were already using up 6 orders just for everyone to get one plate of nigiri (2 pieces). overall we'd maybe come again if someone wanted to try it since the value is better than genki! read more

For $37 it's all you can eat sushi! The waiter explained the rules. Rules are: 90 minute time limit; wasted food (like rice) you will be charged; 10 orders per round; limit of 2 rolls per round; and drinks except water are extra. For the four of us we did 3 rounds. Not bad. Food was good. I really liked the takoyaki. Place looks like the old restaurant that was here previously but with different and more chairs. Parking was free when we went but there was a pay machine that was out of order. The restrooms are on the second floor of the building. Gotta use the escalators that are at the porte cochère. This place is alright for all you can eat. Can't say I will return but definitely worth a shot if you are game. read more
