honestly only come here for the Dynamite Roll because it's that good. They always make it fresh to order, so the tempura is hot and crispy every time. One thing I really appreciate is that they use the perfect amount of rice in their rolls. You actually get to taste the fillings instead of just eating a giant mouthful of rice. The spicy ahi is also delicious and packed with flavor. Out of all the Sushi Man locations, this one is definitely my favorite because the food is just more consistent and tastes better. The prices are affordable, and the portions are generous since the rolls are noticeably larger than average. If you're craving a quick sushi roll that won't break the bank, this spot is worth checking out. read more

Sushi Man - dynamite maki - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

If you're craving quick, affordable sushi without the frills, Sushi Man is such a solid go-to. Total hole-in-the-wall convenience with surprisingly quality sushi for the price. It's perfect for grab-and-go, but they do have a tiny seating area inside (maybe 5-8 people max) if you need to sit and eat. There's also free parking out back, which is always a win. It feels like a true one-woman show -- the lady taking orders is super helpful and is making everything fresh herself. It's quaint, efficient, and exactly what you want when you just need to satisfy a sushi craving without committing to a full sit-down experience. Bonus: it's located near a great coffee shop, plus a laundromat and hair salon, so it's easy to knock out errands and grab food at the same time. Definitely going back whenever I want quick, cheap sushi that still hits. read more

Cool little take out sushi spot in makiki shopping village. The aburi salmon is the jam. Reasonable prices.

Small and cute little sushi shop that sells more than sushi! They have meat on stick as well as ramen and other things. They have a huge selection of sushi for everyone's liking. It's a small store between L&L and the nail salon and hairdresser. They use delicious Japanese rice from a Japan and they make great tasting sushi! They also are at Makiki Farmer's market sometimes. The owner is kind and cheerful. There are counters where one can sit and eat. I believe there are 5 chairs all together. They have a screen showing foods from around the world if you solo dine and don't want to be on your phone. They also offer dessert ice cream and soft drinks and iced matcha. Cute shop, good sushi and friendly customer service. Who wouldn't want more? read more

Sushi Man is located on Wilder Avenue out in Makiki. I have been here a few times. I had cravings for sushi on the days I came to the food establishment. Push the door open to enter the food joint. There's a display case on the left hand side with different types of fake sushi. There are seven chairs in the establishment. There's a little handwritten sign saying the chairs are up for sale at $7.00 each. Counter seating for individuals who want to dine in. Next to the display case is the refrigerator filled with package beverages. There is a chair for staff only and it is next to a table and counter. There is a menu board on one of the tables, another table had a display of fake sushi, and another table had DVD's or video games up for sale. My cravings consist of inari sushi, tekka maki sushi, tuna, salmon, scrambled egg, squid, shrimp, daikon maki, and cucumber maki. I can't forget the sesame balls. Credit cards are accepted here with a minimum of $10. Twice I paid with cash and my sister paid once with her credit card. I took notice of a sign near the register saying "Bring Your Own Bag" otherwise the employees will ask "Do you need a bag today?". When waiting for the food order...customers can watch the television. Most of the time the screen has cooking shows. read more

Place is a piece of $hit. Guys has a terrible attitude. Was told 30mins for a spam hand roll. Spent over a $100 figure it would come with a plastic bag. Nope told me was 15cents for small bag 25cents for a medium one. I had no cash minimum $15 for debit cards. Terrible customer service zero star's if could read more

They make progress on the menu. More options and all of them are mouth-watering!! My favorite place to go for sushi

Very good sushi! They use good quality rice, the Unagi is one of my favorites! I also cater a sushi platter every year for my annual party! The presentation is beautifully done, Ilit's always the first thing to go. I would highly recommend Sushi Man! read more

Sushi Man - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The food is really good but you're at their mercy service wise. Food takes a long time (again, it's good so that's not an issue) but they are so inconsistent with everything else. No clear menu online, will hang up on you while ordering to-go if they don't understand what you are saying. It really is the most frustrating thing trying to place an order with them. But the food is good read more

check your bento before you leave. instead of beef mine had the fat trimmings off of teriyaki strips, with only bits of meat attached. I was back home already. I was wondering why they put the receipt on the bento, under the rubber band, covering the area where the beef was supposed to be. they shoulda just said they were out of beef then I would have ordered something else. what a dirty trick!! with all the well-meaning small businesses that fail in the first few years, here's a ripoff artist that deserves to go out of business. I didn't look if they have a green placard but the place is kind of messy with used items laying around for sale. the dining area counters look like they're from a dumpster. can kind of see the kitchen idk how sanitary it is, it's not impressive. rather than argue with a non-native English speaker and they probably don't care anyway, it's better to impact their wallets and tell everyone to steer clear. SO many other legit options everywhere. read more

I love makiki sushi man. I love to go to the farmers market since I live nearby and every time the quality is delicious and the people who own it are very friendly read more

I enjoy getting the maki, spicy ahi roll, any of their rolls, shrimp tempura, and the gyoza. It doesn't take too long to get your food. You can dine in or grab your food to go. There's usually parking at the Makiki Shopping Village. A bonus is that you can get other things done in this shopping area too. There's a hair salon, a nail place and a laundromat plus an ATM! read more

Made to order, and tasty. Friendly service. Easy parking. A good menu. Selection varies.

Price: 8/10 - very affordable and reasonable prices, they have a lot of bento specials, plate lunch combo. Variety: 9/10 - offered maki , donburi, party platters, noodle, nigiri handroll, udon, and other items such as groza, miso soup, sesame ball, edamame, and inari Seating: 8/10 - very limited seating since there was about 6 chairs Service: 8/10 - the employees was very welcoming and the food came out very quick. I got the dynamite roll and it was very STUFFED, but I was not too fond of the texture of the spicy ahi. However, I definitely recommend getting their Seared Aburi Salmon with Garlic & Mayo sauce! read more

Parking: Hawaii Kai Towne center...lots of parking as long as you're not on the Costco side Service: I've come here long enough to know to phone order your item in...trust me...cuz they truly take 15-20 minutes or longer depending on how busy they are. Food: crunch don...I kind of didn't want to post this since it's such a HK gem...but it's honestly too good not to share...it would be doing the business a disservice if people didn't know about this bowl of gold. The spicy ahi bits with the shrimp tempura/vegetable tempura bits...truly a well textured and balanced bowl. Don't forget to ask them for wasabi/ginger as well :) Overall: I'd phone order again...I probably ate this at least 20 times+ in my lifetime read more

Sushi Man - Crunch don - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Sushi Man is our go to sushi place for sushi nights at home. We call ahead to place an order and it is always ready when we go to pick it up. Today we ordered the Dynamite, Spicy Ahi, and the Dragon roll. The Dynamite was nice with a little crunch. The spicy ahi has a good kick, can't go wrong. The dragon roll seaweed was a little chewy. There is free parking in the shopping center lot. ADA accessible path, though the door might be hard to get through. Inside they have seating, but it is kind of dirty and there are homeless in the vicinity so I don't feel comfortable staying long. Staff is very kind and easy to communicate with. I recommend this place for affordable sushi takeout. Platters are a hit at parties. read more

The service is always prompt and courteous. I've ordered takeout from here many times throughout the years, and the quality is always good for the price. Better than most neighborhood cheap sushi places. They have a large menu with many healthy and not-so-healthy choices, so I can always fulfill whatever fishy craving I'm having. read more

Oh man! Delicious sushi so close to home! I love their spicy ahi sushi. I'm not sure of the actual name of it since hubby ordered for me but I'm hooked! I think he said it was some sort of teriyaki sauce drizzled over the sushi but it was super delish! And honestly I don't care for teriyaki at all yet it made the entire sushi really tasty. I'm still craving for more. About $23 worth in my picture, not too bad for the price of sushi. read more

The sushi is good/ tasty but it's rolled too loose and cut too big. It's breaks apart as soon as you pick it up

This place has NO greeting and the futo maki is $7.97 over $8.00 with only 8 pieces! Kim bap at Palama express is $5.00 for 10 pieces at aloha tower! They're over priced and the rice was soggy with no taste! I just read the other reviews and the owner has a bad attitude! No wonder their sushi sucks! Never going back there again! I just wasted over $8.00 for a futo maki roll!!! read more

I JUST PAID 50 CENTS EACH FOR FIVE PACKETS IF SIY SAUCE. I am eating a Spider Roll. More kani than crab, but the memorable part was only two soy sauce packets are allowed (this was an order to eat in, no soy sauce at the eating spaces proceeded). I asked for more soy sauce and the very polite and helpful waitress/register person brought one more packet (that makes two). I asked for more was told food only comes with two and... So I had the pleasure of paying $2.50 cents for five packets of soy sauce. read more

Now, this is the winner! Do not be fooled by the appearance, these guys know their craft. Not excessive on rice, generous on fish, and well presented. Frankly, I am writing this review reluctantly, in fear of spurring discovery by the masses. ) So, let's keep this one quiet. Kshhht... P.S. The best way to order is probably through Postmates or Uber Eats as menu there is probably best organized. Do a pickup. Happy to have finally found my sushi spot in Honolulu, that is straightforward, not overpriced , amd delicious. read more

I have been coming here since 2013 and will continue to come here as long as they remain open. I liked both the last owners as well as the present owners. Making Sushi myself has given me an even greater appreciation for the quality of the food they serve here. read more

the lady at the front was so rude and short with us. didn't offer a bag, or shoyu or wasabi. when we asked for it she only gave shoyu and just pointed at the sign without saying anything that the bags were 25 cents. the hawaii kai is worlds better don't waste your time going here. it's also very messy and looks dirty read more

Will order again! Right now Makiki Sushi Man is my go to sushi on ubereats delivery. Unagi maki, unagi roll, dragon roll, unagi (2pc) for $22 I like the portion and ratio of unagi to rice. I dont care for rice. Happy with this for the price. read more

Spicy Ahi Inari is always my favorite. they use the high quality rice from Japan which makes the delicious sushi rice.

Sushi place for a quick snack or meal. Not a high quality sushi place but the food was decent. If you want cheap sushi this will be the place. I don't remember the exact name of the sushi but I can describe it. Shrimp tempura roll with spicy ahi on top. Thin layer of rice. Ahi was very mushy. Spicy sauce was overly drenched. Not a very filling amount. Was a quick snack. read more

This is a one and done experience for me. I ordered a specialty roll via Uber Eats for pickup. Upon ordering I received a note that the food would be ready in 30 minutes. A bit long but not excessively so and I was prepared to wait. A few minutes after that I get an updated finish time notice, which pushes things out to a full hour. This was too long to wait for a sushi roll, so I attempted to cancel on the app but was informed that I could no longer do so without paying a full price cancellation fee as the restaurant had already started preparing my order (color me dubious as it doesn't take an hour to prepare a roll). I then tried calling the restaurant multiple times with the hope of being able to cancel that way; of course, nobody answered. I then proceed to travel to the restaurant to try to confirm the time it'll take to prepare my food. When I get there I'm told that I'll need to wait another 20-30 minutes; I didn't want to but I had already waited long enough so said I'd wait a little longer. All in all it took 40+ minutes to prepare a roll when I was one of the only people in the store. To be fair, they could have had numerous phone orders, but it also looked like there was only one person back there making the sushi. Looking at other reviews since I ordered, time seems to be a regular theme at this place. On to the food. It was decent but nothing that blew me away. Had the food blown me away, I would have vowed to return, even if it required substantial planning ahead for the wait. read more

Sushi Man in Makiki used to be a humble gem back when the original owners actually cared whether their sushi looked and tasted like food. Now it is a sad sloppy shadow of its former self run by new owners who seem to view the place as a burden rather than a restaurant. The dining area looks like it is being actively reclaimed by nature with filthy floors, peeling walls, and an overall vibe of "we gave up." There is no sense of "omotenashi," the Japanese spirit of genuine hospitality and care. The staff look visibly unhappy, never greet customers, and make you feel like an inconvenience for even walking in. As for the sushi, forget the photos on the menu because what lands on your plate now feels like a distant rumor of what used to be. The dynamite maki, once the undisputed champion with its perfect crown of green onions, now arrives looking naked and defeated, and when I asked for the green onions back I was met with a blank stare and a "we do not have any." To add insult to injury they now charge extra for a single packet of soy sauce as if that will somehow mask the mediocrity. A tragic downfall for what used to be one of Makiki's best casual sushi spots. read more

Located behind pandas along the marina is Sushi Man. It's a small yet clean, sunny sushi place. No seats for eating in side but there is outdoor seating throughout the shopping center. Sushi is always fresh and tasty. I also love the bentos and udon. The udon broth is so tasty, can't wait to go back. In fact I think I'll go there for lunch today! Service is terrific. Remember staff is busy, but they do a wonderful job getting you order together. Fast and friendly and they get your order right. read more

Prices have made it too expensive to patronize. I've been loyal since it was at Times Niu Valley. So sorry but you lost my business.

Best place for spicy maki EVER,& tasty gyozas. We ALL have to have our own- too good to share. Food is made to order so don't expect it fast. Have always had great luck in finding parking in the lot behind. read more

Been going here for a few years now even through pandemic and never really had any issues until recently. I usually order the Spicey Ahi bowl and I noticed on a few occasions the cubed ahi had more fat than usual "it's a chewy white stuff that is not to edible" but I didn't say anything until today. I ordered as usual and asked the lady about if it's normal to have so much fat on the fish cause it had on a few prior occasions, she went to the back to talk with owner and then came back out to cancel my order I asked why and all she said is the boss said to cancel it. I asked her to have him come out so I can talk to him and he came out all quietly and just kept telling them to cancel it so I asked him why??? and he said cause I complained. Owner is very unprofessional and they over charge for the smallest things, the establishment is super hot inside and wait time for orders can tend to be long as in over 30 min at times. I don't suggest anyone dine here but if you do, make sure not to ask questions cause he may just cancel your order and give you the boot. Very disgusted on how I was treated. Poor customer service skills. read more

Sushi Man - Sushi Man Makiki - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Good sushi and reasonable price! If you looking for fancy and top notch sushi, then of course not this place. But if just to satisfy craving, this place does the work. We did a lunch takeout and opt for platter D (comes in California roll, tempura and spicy ahi tempura roll), seared salmon and spicy tuna inari. The spicy tuna is not big piece chunk, but rather small pieces, so the quality is not the greatest. Plus for their roll, they use imitation crab. But cannot complain much because price is about $60 for the platter, and can feeds 4-5 people. Food taste good, not too salty or plain, I would recommend for a gathering as their platters are good deal and well assemble. read more

I mean it's a cute little shop. I had a nice lunch from there... but I don't think there's anything special about the sushi here and that's ok. I still enjoyed everything I ate and I will be stopping in from time to time. Inside is just an average Hawaii type food place ... polite cashier/sushi maker though read more
