    6 types of sushi
    Jeana P.

    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.

    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!

    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

    Red Dragon Maki, Spicy Ahi Maki, Dynamite Maki, Strawberry Icee with ice cream and liliha powder
    Alyssa A.

    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.

    Seared Aburi Salmon Nigiri with Garlic & Special Mayo Sauce
    Shirleen W.

    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!

    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.

    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.

We had a 7pm reservation that I booked through Yelp. We arrived a few minutes before our time, and was quickly seated in a "cozy" little table for 2. This place is crackin' though. It's loud and energetic. Mostly because it's a small little place down a side street on Beach Walk. The staff is super friendly, and the food is even better. I had the pork and shrimp katsu set, and my husband had fancy pork katsu set. We also had edamame to start. Everything came out sizzling hot and to perfection. I should also mention, this place is clean. The staff was constantly cleaning tables and menus. I'm giving Ginza only 4 stars because no one ever came to refill our drinks. I know it's such a small thing, but I accidentally ate some of the spicy mustard that was buried on my plate under the salad. My mouth was ON FIRE! I drank all my Diet Coke and my husband had already finished his drink too. So ya, I was dying...lol! Overall though, I would 100% eat at Ginza again

Very random one morning after stopping by kona purveyors in Waikiki, I went to the restroom and while my husband was waiting for me he decided to randomly check if they had any reservations available and we were able to get one for the next day! Getting a reservation is definitely the way to go, I've seen people wait in standby however seating is not guaranteed since they prioritize those who have a reservation. The service was amazing! They are constantly checking up on you to see if you need anything else. I like how they offer different kinds of miso soup. I personally had limitations due to my shellfish allergy, but it was amazing! The katsu we ordered was one of the biggest one that they offer. It's crazy how big the katsu was and surprisingly it was super crispy, light, and even juicy in the inside! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to try katsu in hawaii!

Since we didn't get reservations we had to do walk in. The waitlist didn't seem bad when we first signed up but it took forever to finally get a table. It was a hot day so we were waiting outside, for nearly an hour. There were only like two or three parties ahead of us on the waitlist. We finally got seated and the people right after us on the list got seated at the same time (they put their name 15 min after us). I would not recommend the waitlist, since it's not consistent. The food itself is always delicious. The new space was nice (and larger). Our server was very nice also. We both got tonkatsu. I got the mizore and my partner got the sizzling one. I appreciate the choices of rice and miso soup. I really enjoyed my Shiso rice and the white miso soup. I think even though I enjoyed the ground daikon but I also think I would've been happy with just a regular tonkatsu, similar for the sizzling platter.

I've been to Mitch's a few times and when I saw that they opened up an Izakaya next door, I knew I had to try it and made a reservation on Yelp. Izakaya Mitch's specializes more in cooked dishes while the other side is more about the fresh / raw fish. But that didn't stop us from ordering the assorted sashimi. All the fish were from Japan and yes you can taste the difference. The fatty tuna was obviously my favorite but even the regular tuna and the hamachi was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. Plus, it comes with real wasabi. Not horseradish, real wasabi. For the cooked dishes we got the hokkaido crab tempura with a side of matcha salt. One of the best tempuras I've ever had. The kamameshi, a rice dish with their fish of the day. We got the half order and it's kinda like a bibimbap where they mix the rice for you at your table. I saw that people were raving about this on Yelp and put in our order right when we got in because it takes 25-ish minutes to prepare. On special, they had a karei karaage. Karei is a flat fish and I've never had a fish karaage before, it was perfectly fried and dipped in the ponzu sauce it was so good. Ambiance is a no-frills kinda spot but very clean and feels homey and the service is amazing! Attentive and super personable.

I made reservations, so we were seated right away. Luckily, it wasnʻt crowded when we sat, so our waitress was able to answer all our questions about different dishes we were interested in ordering.

The tai karaage was so tender and seasoned really well, the kamameshi is such a comfort dish, and the burrata with chilled tomato was really refreshing. One thing we all liked was that even though there were a lot of people in the restaurant (most came in after we ordered), we still were able to speak to one another without talking loud. The staff mentioned that they will be getting a sushi chef, so I guess we need to try this place again,

This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy!

Probably 30 minutes. Light crisp batter on perfectly cooked shrimp and veggies. Damn it was good. The service was great as well and I cannot wait to go back. Nice warm atmosphere and there's a free parking lot. It gets busy during lunch and dinner, so get there early or make a reservation. Enjoy!
