Overpriced, low quality sushi. I've given this place more than one shot hoping that they could magically redeem themselves from prior visits, but they never seem to succeed. I've ordered different things from the menu hoping that I could find something actually worth getting a second time, but still no success. The only reason why I would go back is because it's less than a block away from my apartment and that I don't wanna deal with traffic. As if the quality of the food wasn't bad enough, the service is even more horrible. I've worked in the service industry for many years and having a sense of urgency was always top of mind....this is definitely not the case here. On my last visit it took me 15 minutes to get a simple 8pc nigiri set! The worst part was that I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER THERE! Unless they drop their prices or get my food to me faster, I definitely won't be going to sushi man anytime soon. read more

This is your average fast-food sushi stop. The food is great and filling. They have an icee machine which makes for a lovely post-sushi treat. The reason I wouldn't give this place 5 stars is the price (a little on the high side) and the service (minimal personality). But if you're just looking for a few quick and yummy rolls, this is your place! read more

IF I COULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO STARS I WOULD!! I decided to come here since i was in the area & wanted something fast to pick up. I bought a can drink with my order and asked for a straw. The lady who was working the register looked like she didn't really speak english well but she understood what i was asking for when i asked for a straw. She went to the back and asked her boss or whoever it was back in the kitchen, looked like a younger man. She came back and told me they don't have straws. I look around, they have icee and soda machines serving drinks. & said, How can you not have straws when you serve all these drinks? I just want one straw for this drink i bought? She goes in the back again, & comes back & tells me i'm sorry i can't. I ask why? i just bought this drink from you? She said it was against the code?! what code?!!!! You mean the customer service code that you guys obviously don't have!!!!! This blows my mind!!!! I am a paying customer and they can't even give me a single straw for my drink i purchased from them?!!! RIDICULOUS!!!!!! I'm never going back there again!!!! read more

Never wanna come back here again. I have gotten sushi few times from here but salmon wasn't fresh at all and it tasted old.. Decided not to get salmon here. And this time I got Dragon maki which is eel sushi roll. There were 8 pieces but half of them didn't have eel. Just avocado and sauce on it. This can't be called dragon roll. We spent $9 for this. It's not worth it. So we decided not to go here anymore. Convenience is not enough!! read more

Sushi Man - This is " dragon maki" but we don't accept this. Worst service ever!! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

What a waste of time and money. Waited 20 mins for a donburi & an ahi roll. Got a half full donburi & a soggy and tough hand roll. Though I'd lose my teeth during the tug of war with the nori. The prices are rediculous! $10 for an ahi maki, $14 for chirashi bowl? The owner must be on crack! Yelp: must I rate this with a star? read more

Good quality for price HOWEVER i asked for 3 shoyu after ordering the dynamite maki (almost $10) and apparently you're only allowed a certain amount according to what you ordered. she was going to charge me $0.50. Secondly, the food takes a long time even if you've ordered over the phone. I will return tho because that dynamite maki is sooo good read more

Spent $15 for a crappy, half full unagi donburi with 6 puny slivers of unagi & a spicy ahi roll that had more mayo than the ahi & rice in it. Ninja Sushi needs to move in closer if not take over this place. I can get my Superman maki & a hand roll and still have change. I wish Yelp has the option of not giving a star... N/A would do. read more

Sushi Man is right down the street from where I live, so I go here often out of convenience. Compared to Kozo, Aloha, and other take-out sushi places, Sushi Man is one of the best. They serve icees and now, shave ice too! One thing is that they don't make it til you order it, so sometimes you wait a while for your food, even if you just have a small order. read more

The service and staff are excellent! They are there to please and to make your dining experience great! The sushi was delicious and very reasonable. I think my favorite was the shrimp shumai! Very happy and upbeat place! I'll be back soon! read more

Sushiman, herro! (Excuse my sterotypical/racist asian spelling of hello. But I'm asian so it's okay!) My brother and I endearingly call this place: "Sushiman, herro!" It's because everytime we order take out a sweet old korean man (ajusshi) usually answers the phone and says this. We both just think its so sweet and cute! :D Honestly I just I love this place. I always get dynamite maki. I dont like my spicy ahi too chunky so the "puree" is good for me. It's seriously addicting. I think I've spent at least $150 here from buying dynamite maki :D Friendly service, and you can call in orders. It'll be ready when you get there! Avoid 2:30 - 5:00 PM when its packed with roosevelt kids coming from school. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE AND FOOD QUALITY!!!!!!!! Ask for soy sauce and they limit it not to mention that don't speak English very well read more

Sushi Man - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Probably the best unagi donburi on the island. If you love unagi I high recommend visiting this place. It is a hole in the wall but definitely worth the try. Whenever I am in makiki area I stop by here. read more

Was shown this place by our longtime friend now living in Oahu. The sushi was amazing! So fresh and had a perfect balance of flavor! We sat right out by the water and indulged in this feast! Was amazing to get out of Waikiki and find a gem like this. read more

Be warned - the worst sushi I EVER had! Now I am a reasonable guy and don't like giving any business 1-star, so know that going in I was not expecting "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" type of offerings. Based on Sushi Man's pricing structure, all I was just looking for was something quick and fresh for dinner. I got there at 6pm and was the only person in sight, even still I had to wait for service and then another 20-minutes to get my order while the owner was watching TV in the dinning area. We ordered Sushi Man's nigiri platter (supposedly their best offering) for $34 and was disappointed. The ahi looked carbon treated, the salmon was dull in color - perhaps partially cooked, and the ikura was dried out and sullen. Sushi Man is also in serious need of better ventilation. Although I ordered takeout, I left smelling of a grease trap so badly that as soon as I got home my daughter says "Dad you smell like burnt oil!" - never again! read more

OK the original review I wrote has actually changed somewhat for the better. No more order mistakes, sushi is actually coming out faster and today only two quiet skinny boys were eating sushi. Everyone I know who eats sushi is skinny, except me. No fair. Anyway, recommended are these handrolls: Ikura, shrimp tempura, California roll and as for the maki must tries: Spider maki (soft shelled crab) and bacon maki. Both excellent. Yes, it is still pricy and yes, the quality is wonderfully fresh so how can I bitch? At least now they have take out menus so I can decide before stepping in which works well for me. Maybe that's why my order has been "rolling" out more quickly. I don't take 12 years to decide what I want. Weird tho, not all of the items are on the menu. You gotta go in and look at the pictures like a Pavlovian dog trying to remember the difference between dragon roll and red dragon roll. One is as silent as a lamb? Only current criticism. It's hot in there with afterschool teen bodies. Phew! Turn up the air please. Even without the futting, the air inside is....well.....warm. read more

Does this place sport super-fresh, melty to die for fish? No. Can I walk to it from my house? Yes. Could I eat here from change found in the car? Probably. I can walk here, throw down a teensy bit of money ($1.29 for many of the veggie maki, 9 piece nigiri bento for about $6.50) and come out with a cheap, extremely edible sushi fix. read more

WAITED TOO LONG for just one shinko maki and one crab roll. The guy/cashier didn't look like he was happy to be there. Don't sit at the table right in front of the air conditioner unless you like it to feel like you're in Alaska. The taste of the sushi wasn't that great either. Don't go here. read more

Sushi Man - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love their California Roll & Spam Roll! I bought one of each and it cost me $3.69 I think that's a great price compared to all the other places that I've been to. The 5 Start is for the great tasting food and affordable price! Don't expect to see ambiance here! If that's what your looking for, I suggest you drag yourself to this place order and take it back to your place, break out the candle light, nice dishes, some music or take it to the park!! read more

I go here often and it's better than comparable sushi places. When I say comparable, I mean that this place cannot be beat in terms of location, price, hours and quality combined. It can easily be beat in any of those categories individually, but it has just the right combination of convenience and taste to keep me coming back. So I keep going back. The quality of the sushi has degraded quite a bit compared to other sushi man restaurants I've been to recently. My new favorite is the Kunia Sushi Man next to Pacific Supermarket. The only thing I ever order is the Dynamite, and the Kunia Sushi Man gives big chunks of ahi, and plenty of it. It totally covers the maki and spills over. The makiki Sushi man dynamite is subpar, but at least it still fills the stomach for a relatively low price, for better quality than genki sushi, which I refuse to go to. The makiki sushi man gives you mashed up "puree" of spicy ahi, which looks kind of like a hot pink orange sauce until you look realllllly carefully and see the lumps (more like goosebumps?) of fish in there. At least the tempura has been consistently crispy, and the rice is all right. I like that you can call in and order it, no questions asked, and it'll be ready in pretty much exactly the time it takes to get there. I'm in the market for a new fast sushi place on par with the kunia sushi man, but somehwere in makiki. So far, it doesn't exist. Suggestions are welcome. I haven't actually tried anything else here besides the philadelphia roll, which was your standard fast sushi takeout fare, nothing to write home about, but not shabby on the size of the chunk of cream cheese either. 2 Dynamite maki + some ginger (0.30) = 15.98 I am usually filled up on just one dynamite. It's about one minute away from me, it's read more

This place is pretty good! I love their udon! And their spicy ahi hand rolls are delicious! read more

Sushi Man - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Looks like mediocre / cheap sushi because we all tend to judge by the exterior. Yeah, everything is in little plastic boxes but it's GOOD!!! This is the best fast food style sushi I can remember having. read more

The ahjussi is extremely nice and his wife is even nicer! I love going there after work to fill up on some sushi. Their spicy ahi handroll is the bomb. They also have great udon and dragon rolls. If you want something small, a handroll or maybe a spam maki is good. Also super cute. They also have shave ice and icees. The only downer is that they can't change channels on the tv. read more

Everytime i come here bad customer service i wait 5-10 min before they take my order and almost 20 min till i get my food

The sushi is ok, but not for the price you pay. The last time I was there a couple of days ago, I spent almost $20 for their bento box B and their dynamite maki. The fish was fresh enough, didn't taste old or slimey. The dynamite, however, was drenched a little to much with their spicy sauce, which tasted almost like thousand island dressing. All were still edible though. The place is a bit dreary, despite the place being mostly white, and the whole look of the place seemed like the place is in its final days and they plan to make a quick escape one day. The tables seemed clean, but I don't quite know how often they wipe the tables down because I've never witnessed it. It took about 1/2 an hour to get my takeout order and I missed my bus because of that. The only reason I'll eat here once and a while is only because that it's the most closest place to get sushi in my area and only because I'm craving sushi. Other than that, there are definitely other places to get decent sushi at a far better price. read more

I like this place, sushi is not expensive and taste good.

Got the spicy ahi maki... Chee... That's some good kine grindz right there!!! Well actually, anything with spicy ahi is some bomb grindz for me!!! The spicy ahi got the right amount of kick... Chee!!! read more

Sushi Man - Spicy Ahi Maki, Spicy Ahi rolls, n Ahi rolls... Yummy!!! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Been eating here since 2013. The eatery has changed owners/managers once but apparently unlike other Yelpers I like the new owners even better. I come in so often they already have an idea of what I'm ordering. I recommend this place to everyone! If you're trying it for the first time, order a Donburi, even folks resigned to eat with me in Sushi Man loved the Donburis! read more

So you know how when you have a big family get together, someone has to pick up the sushi platter? Well, if it's my grandma's turn and she ultimately makes me go pick it up, I always call Sushi Man in Makiki. Not only is it convenient for me, but the sushi is decent, prices affordable, and the staff is efficient about it. While they offer hand rolls and other smaller selections if you so desire, the platters are always what I come here for. They offer fantastic party platter selections from the simple maki/cone combination to nigiri platters or various rolls. Is the sushi the greatest? No, I can honestly say I have had better but when price is an option and volume is required, you want consistency and good, not great. Sushiman offers that. The staff are efficient, not really warm and friendly, but when I'm ordering for a party that is what I want. They are definitely nice and accommodating if they can be. Definitely call ahead if you can, cause there can be a wait at times. It's street parking or plan to park in the Makiki Village complex that it is apart of. read more

I was craving sushi within walking distance of my house and this was the closest place so this is where I decided to go. Obviously I had to get something with Spicy Ahi so I decided on the Dynamite Maki, I also love natto so I got a handroll as well. No one was there yet I had to wait a pretty long time to get my food. The cashier was really nice but sorry, that does not make up for how slow it was. When I got my food, it looked pretty delish but the Dynamite Maki was wayy overloaded with sauce, too much for my liking. The spicy ahi wasn't that spicy and the pieces were very small and chopped up. The nori around my handroll was really grainy and got stuck in my teeth which doesn't really happen ever. Overall I don't think I'll be coming here again, I'll make the trek into Manoa valley to Manoa Sushi instead. read more

Best sushi for the price! The dynamite roll is yum! A little on the slow side but the food is good! This is where we go for sushi takeout! read more

Dynamite Maki and shrimp tempura California Maki are really good!! The lady that makes it is really generous with the ahi she puts in top the dynamite. It also has a clean environment. read more

Sushi Man - Shrimp tempura California Maki! - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I live right next to it and it's my go to place when I don't have dinner/lunch at home. I was surprised by some of the negative reviews here, because I never had any issues with their customer service. Everyone is always nice and polite, I never waited too long for my food. I'm usually not there during the rush hours though. I like their sushi. It's not the best I have ever had but considering the prices and the fact that I live 5min walk away from the establishment, I am happy to be a regular there. read more

There food is decent and cheap for sushi but definitely not a good quality sushi place. I only come here for a quick, lazy dinner only. My choices here are always Tiger Maki or Dragon roll. They make it pretty fast too. Its odd that people who own the place is all Korean...Lol. Anyway, their sushi is not that bad, it is just the ambiance of the place and the service is not that great. read more

FAVORITE CHEAP SUSHI PLACE!! I've been eating at this Sushi Man for many years. If you're looking for good cheap sushi, this is the spot. Their shrimp tempura is always crunchy and delicious. If you've eaten at a KOZO sushi... their shrimp tempura is almost never fresh - it's super disappointing. Sometimes their fish quality isn't great... but you should expect that at "fast food" sushi place. The only time I didn't enjoy my raw fish was ordering a Ika Nigiri. This is a good spot for take out or dining in. If you dine in they'll serve you on real plates with shoyu and wasabi dishes. Wait time isn't long usually and they serve shave ice! read more

Cheap. Close. Yummy. Good enough for me! (Plus if you call ahead, the same lady always answers the phone, she's very sweet, and the food is always ready, hot and fresh-- taking just the amount of time to get there from our house.) Plus, they have Icees, and you can walk to the little market a few doors down and get Diet Arizona Iced teas and ice cream for dessert. read more

We decided to take our dog for a walk and we came across Sushi Man, which was five minutes from our apartment. I read a few reviews including Emi's and Kim's so I was willing to give this place a shot. First I went in and was confused but the nice lady at the counter was helpful in trying to find something for me to eat and enjoy. So I ordered a couple of things she recommended like the spicy ahi and the other thing with the shrimp tempura on it... the name escapes me... read other reviews for the name. Then I sent in my husband and took over puppy duties. Eventually we ordered a few things between the both of us and headed home with our crazy puppy. We tried the sushi, it wasn't the best ever and nor did I expect it to be but it was filling, decent, and cheap. We also saw the pictures of the platters outside and they seemed very reasonably priced as well as looked tasty too. I mean seriously, we could just get a platter to share and it would be only around $20 for the both of us. SCORE =). Also, they're open pretty late on a Sunday... good times good deal yay! Food was three stars but the value knocked it up one! read more

This review is solely for the Tempura Roll. I wouldn't go to Sushi Man for a high end sushi experience, BUT...... I've gone here for the Tempura and Crab rolls since my high school days at Maryknoll school (~$4 for both). Despite having had my first Tempura Roll from Sushi Man, oh, 7 years ago, I still believe that this is the crunchiest, most delicious "cheap" Shrimp Tempura Roll found on island! They make it to order, so you receive it fresh out of the fryer. It's a simple roll, but a roll made well. Get a Taro Bubble Smoothie outside at the stand outside, and you're set for a perfect afternoon snack or light meal. Yum! read more

I stopped in for a quick bite before an event nearby. I had the ahi tuna and miso soup. The staff was very friendly and the ahi tasted fresh and yummy. The miso soup was also good. All in all it was a pleasant place for something good and quick. read more

Been coming here for years and the sushi has always been my favorite. Recently they've been adding a lot of stuff to the menu and I feel like the quality has gone down a bit. That being said, the red dragon maki is my favorite. read more
