Every dish was amazing! Service was good. Found street parking. We'll be back very soon. HIGHLY recommend!

This place is hands down my favorite spot for ahi poke. The portions are super generous and the fish is incredibly fresh, they even use the same omakase fish for their poke, which says a lot! Even the sushi rice stands out, it's perfectly seasoned and adds so much flavor to the bowl. You can also upgrade to wagyu rice if you want something richer, which is such a nice touch. I've also tried their 15-course omakase ($188) and it was amazing. The chef is very generous with the fish, and every course felt thoughtful and high quality. Definitely one of the most filling omakase experiences I've had. The shrimp tempura is another highlight, fried perfectly crispy on the outside while still juicy on the inside. You can really tell the chef takes pride in everything that comes out of the kitchen, and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. read more

update 2 - 4 - 2026 Amazing Dinner with friends. Top notch service. This was my first-time experience for a Japanese omakase (chefs choice).. Friendly sushi chef (owner). and female server. Every item selected by the chef were awesome. I'll just mention two. Hamach iCollar and the dessert. The hamachi kama was not prepared teriyaki style which many restaurants do. I'm not sure if It was baked. Clean tasting with a hint of salt. When dessert came, I first thought I was getting A bowl of corn flakes. It was a bowl of fruit gelato cover with corn flakes. Delicious. Enjoy read more

Chef Ryuji Murayama is a master of his craft -- and his promise of "textured" fish rings true in every bite. Expect meaty, refreshing flavors carefully paired with unique ingredients. I've been coming here for years, and Chef Murayama still delivers on every level: genuine, friendly, and embodying the aloha spirit. Whether you're here for lunch or omakase, prepare to leave completely satisfied. And if you're on the go, his takeout bowls are a must. Food: 5/5 - Impeccably fresh fish sourced from Japan, Hawaii's fish auction, and select local produce. The dinner omakase was simply stellar: アジ (Aji / Horse Mackerel) 金目鯛 (Kinmedai / Golden Eye Snapper) 甘エビ (Amaebi / Argentina) ハマチ (Hamachi / Yellow Tail) イクラ (Ikura / Salmon Roe) マグロ (Maguro / Tuna) 春子鯛 (Kasugodai / Baby Sea Bream) Dung Crab タマクエ (Tamakue / Grouper) シマアジ (Shimaji / Striped Jack) 槍イカ (Ika Yari Ika / Arrow Squid) Wagyu Nigiri (島根和牛 / Shimane Wagyu) Salmon Tomato (東京アメトサーモン / Tokyo Ameto Salmon) トボ (Tovo / Haasaki) ノドグロ (Nodoguro / Blackthroat Seaperch) Parking: 4/5 - Valet in the back or metered street parking. Bold diners might gamble with Walmart parking nearby. Service: 5/5 - Impeccable across the board, with Chef Murayama himself going above and beyond to make every visit personal. read more

Hands down the best sushi restaurant in town. The service was excellent and people were very friendly. The vibe is very positive and very friendly like family. read more

Food was excellent. A little different in preparation, but very oishii. Food seemed of high quality. Female server was excellent: pleasant, attentive and helpful. Ambiance was great since a very small place, so not noisy, at least when I was there. Only thing is place seemed just a tad pricey. Accordingly, for those of less net worth, this place would lean more towards a special occasion place. To be clear, however, there is value and you do get what you pay for. read more

Ok let me tell you... size does matter! The portions of the fish and each individual omakase dish was HUGE. i was painfully full at the end of the omakase i think it was 16 dishes for Omakase. The TORO ZUKE was hands down one of the best things I've eaten. It's toro that is marinated in shoyu and other seasonings. It so warming and flavorful! And the shrimp shells with curry powder?? Who would have know this would be such a delicious and addicting combo! If you go make sure you get plenty room in your stomach! read more

Taste: 5 Creativity/Authenticity: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Service: 5 Bang for your buck: 5 Yo are you kidding me?! I've been to the best of the best sushi restaurants all over and this spot blows them all out the water!! No way!! I almost wanna gate keep this place! First off it's omakase only which is the only way to experience sushi, no rolls with mayo and sauce all over it! Chef choice how it's supposed to be and it is worth every penny! Now it's bold to say this is the best sushi spot, but I've been to Nozawa bar in LA, Sushi Gen, and even sushi bar and this place out flavors them by miles!! Not to mention the chef here is knowledgeable and dedicated to making the sushi an experience you've never had! Get the monkfish liver and thank me later!! Service here is great fast and as good as it can get. Ambiance here is def a date spot, not fancy at all but better than a fancy spot. Price can be high for some people $185 for omakase but I've spent more and this place is way way better!! Overall I'm sad that it's in Hawaii and I live in LA but I will come here every time now! Thanks chef for the food and experience simply amazing read more

Grabbed a platter sashimi for vday. Yum. And pretty. Also got some bowls for the airplane. Choke rice. But also nice size slabs hamachi. Got 1 grilled and 1 panko. Delish. Needed lunch too so picked up salmon tempura and salmon skin salad. Holy moly salad is huge. Ate about a tenth of it. Feeding everyone with it! Tempura is so good. Why places don't tempura salmon more often is lost on me...but I love salmon. Never not full after eating their stuff...always happy and content. read more

I have been coming to Sushi Murayama for over 7 years now and this place is still one of my top choices for places to have Omakase. Omakase phrase literally is, "I leave it up to you". It's most commonly used when dining at Japanese restaurants where the customer leaves it up to the chef to select and serve seasonal specialties. The prices went up.... Like everything else in Hawaii unfortunately. However, it is still worth the experience here. What makes Chef Ryuji Murayama stand out is the way he prepares his sushi. Most sushi places.... It's just fish and rice...Chef Ryuji explains the process in preparing his dishes. The menu items change with the seasons of fish and ingredients that are available as well. For example, his fried hamachi belly, one of my favorites this time... he soaked it for four days and did some magical thing to the outside flaky batter thing before frying it on spot. Soooo good. I took my new boyfriend to experience Omakase sushi for the first time. He asked, "why do I close my eyes when I eat the sushi?" I told him, it's the flavors, the deliciousness and sometimes the way it just melts on my tongue and slide down my throat. He replied, "wow.... I think you're enjoying the sushi more than you enjoy me lol". Chef Ryuji laughed. I was skeptical if my new boyfriend would appreciate and enjoy Omakase sushi being that he's from the mainland and is sometimes picky about food and texture. To my surprise he really really enjoyed the food and the experience here. The atmosphere is like business casual... it's super comfortable in here and Chef Ryuji is fun to interact with when you dine at the sushi counter. After 7 years, this is still one of my top favorite omakase sushi places to dine in at. read more

My favorite sushi place hands down. This place seems to be family run- it's always the same, kind people who take our order. It's tucked away on the third floor of a building with other restaurants. I also couldn't find a sign the first time I went. I will say, we have never eaten at the restaurant or done their omakase, HOWEVER my husband and I get their donburi very often. And I mean so often the owner seems to recognize us haha! That being said, we wouldn't order here again and again unless it was pretty amazing, WHICH IT IS! The best, freshest sushi. The service is exceptional, the price is good, and the fish is amazing. Honestly want to gate keep this place, but absolute best sushi on island. read more

Recently discovered and tried their takeout poke bowls and it is a game changer!! One of our new favorites if you're looking for an affordable sushi meal. We've tried the spicy ahi poke, sweet shrimp, hamachi zuke, and salmon ikura. They are always very generous with the fish for the price you pay. I recommend calling to place a phone order. There is a loading zone you could park in or have someone wait in the car while you grab your order if you're bringing it home. 10/10 and we will be back soon! read more

Sushi Murayama - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

**This review is for the takeout poke bowls only ** As a poke lover, when I heard about these poke bowls with quality ingredients AND for a great price (basically everything is under $17), I knew I had to try this place out.. asap lol I called ahead and ordered a spicy tuna bowl with a wagyu rice upgrade ($14.50) and a salmon ikura bowl, also with a wagyu rice upgrade ($17.50) At first glance, the containers look small, but the portion was actually pretty filling SPICY TUNA: I enjoyed how this bowl was unique in that it had fresh ahi cubes on top, but a layer of spicy ahi "paste" as well. It resulted in a dish that was enjoyable not only in flavor, but texture as well. The fish was definitely good quality - no stringy pieces here! SALMON IKURA: this bowl did have quite a bit of raw onion, so if you aren't an onion fan, I wouldn't recommend this one. However, the salmon pieces were buttery, the ikura was delicious, and the flavors paired very well together WAGYU RICE UPGRADE: both bowls were delicious with the wagyu rice upgrade. The rice had a meaty umami flavor to it that really made the dish feel extra indulgent Also, it is definitely worth noting that the bowls come with ginger... not thin slices of sushi ginger like you see elsewhere, but big chunks of ginger that are candied! I'm not a ginger fan usually, but the ginger in the bowls were SO good and it really brought the bowls to the next level. I definitely recommend trying this place out and I can't wait to come back and try the other menu items! read more

One star off for having no chicken or any proteins for the udon for the kids. Other than that, the $180 16 piece omakase was a surprisingly satisfying dinner. Sure, it had no premium pieces I was looking such as hotate, amaebi, or uni but it really made up for it with thick cuts of nigiri, red vinegar rice, and zero fishiness on any of their offerings. Wife did detect slight fishiness on the oyster shoote though. Toro was melt in your mouth tender but didn't have that sweetness from toyosu market. Highlight for me was the aburi nodoguro. Really brought out the fish fattiness and tenderness. Tobiko was very sweet and not overly salty like in most places. Saba wrapped in shiso and kombu was also very creative. Ginmedai with shaved yuzu peel and sea salt was also very good. It kinda mimics the yuzu salt that's very popular in Japan. Squid with shark fin top with honey is really a nice touch. Great textures coming through with the fin. Overall a great experience for the price. read more

Sushi Murayama reminded me of several sushi restaurants I visited in Japan. There is no noticeable signage and you'll completely miss it if you don't see the sushi bar inside. Once inside, the atmosphere is very authentic and there's the distinct smell of fresh sashimi in the air. Dinner was omakase. We had the 10 dishes for $100. The other choice was 16 dishes for $180. Each dish was made of fresh sashimi, complemented with some ingenious ingredients. For example, ikura with house soy sauce topped with grated mountain yam. Or Japan Sea Jack seasoned with sea salt and orange. The dishes were unique and made with high quality, fresh, raw seafood. Sashimi used in the various dishes included ahi, ika, salmon, oyster, sea bass, niboshi, iriko, ikura, sea jack, oyster, and dungeness crab. The service here is excellent. Each dish was brought out in a very timely manner. We never had to wait long between dishes and the servers would constantly check on our water and tea. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for fresh sushi made with a unique combination of ingredients. $100 may seem like a lot for 9 pieces of sushi and an oyster shooter but when you see the quality and innovative way in which each dish is made, the experience is worth it! read more

It's been a while since I've been here but this review is on my last visit where I ordered takeout. I ordered the mini salmon ikura and my husband got the mini maguro with garlic miso and wagyu rice. I called in the order and luckily I did cause the wait was 20 mins. When I got there, the place was packed. I was a little surprise because it was a weekday. They also have some tables outside so that you can get your take out there if you want. My bowl was really good. I had the perfect amount of fish. I also really liked the ikura. Definitely will be ordering takeout again. The mini bowls are just a great deal. read more

I used to visit chef Ryuji ages ago when he worked at Yohei. Since moving to the mainland, he opened his own shop (as he should have!). When I came back to visit with my family, I knew I wanted to see Ryujisan again. I made a reservation and his staff was polite enough to inform me that there are no high chairs available. They sat us at a table that had 1/2 a booth with pillows to accommodate my daughter. We opted for omakase and it did NOT disappoint. We ate a lot of omakase sushi during our vacation and Murayama's was the best! It has the most innovative flavors, with the widest variety of fish from Japan. We loved every single bite of our omakase and wished we could afford to eat there every day until we had to fly back home! Omakase here is money well spent! You will certainly enjoy it and be blown away by Ryujisan's creativity and direction. The best part about this experience is that he was particularly kind to our daughter. He went above and beyond to make her feel welcome. Ryujisan gave her a handful of candies and even a Japanese coolish pouch!! Without a doubt, this is the best omakase on Oahu. We can't wait to come back to Murayama on our next visit! read more

We love sushi and wanted to try omakase in Oahu while we were here! This definitely was not traditional sushi but more so experimental. I really loved how different this was compared to traditional omakase. The combination of different unique ingredients really made this such a fun experience. My favorite bites were the King Salmon Shiso with Tomato, Wagyu with Uni rice musubi, and Tuna brushed with garlic shoyu miso wagyu fats. At its price point, at $180 per person it is definitely on the pricier side. The portions were huge and it was a 16 course so we were definitely stuffed by the end of our meal. The ambiance though was way more causal than what you would expect from a higher end omakase. It was very intimate , just us and another party of two. The chef was very talkative and friendly. This was a fun experience and the flavors were very unique and different than anything I've had in traditional omakase. I think this is fun to try but definitely quite pricy. read more

After 10 years, this place is still my favorite sushi place. My husband and I live in Chicago and this is the first reservation we make. Sometimes if we have the time, we go twice. We eat omakase all over the country and this is the best in terms of quality and creativity. The chef has an amazing ability to meld different flavor profiles together that works brilliantly. Balancing fish and seasoning. All the ingredients were exceedingly fresh. The service is also great. The chef chats with you as you eat in a non intrusive pace. The service is also good and attentive. The cost is only $180 per person. Very affordable considering what you get. read more

This is strictly for take out. I was getting my hair done and was wandering around for some food to eat. This place is on the third floor of the building and I don't believe there was any sign or anything but my friend comes here often so I decided to take a look. Their menu for take out is all on Instagram, so try to be prepared, unlike I was. I opted for the Serrano poke and a side of natto and my friend got her normal spicy ahi poke. The fish was so good and tasted fresh!! I loved the Serrano poke, it blended very well and they add ginger and wasabi in too. I tried my friends spicy ahi and it was so good. I'm glad I tried it here, I would definitely come back to try their dine in menu here. I believe they close in the middle of the day so check hours before coming! read more

Sushi Murayama is located on the 3rd floor of the 808 Sheridan Center, and offers both an a la carte menu, omakase, as well as a take-out option. Their menu changes often, so if you do come here multiple times, you'll be sure to have a different set than what you had before. We opted for the 16-course omakase - I did like that Sushi Murayama offers you the option to have less rice or have everything sashimi-style! I highly recommend in obtaining a counter seating, as those are the best seats to obtain to watch the chef(s) prepare your course. Staff were friendly, and the ambiance is very casual and laid-back. +obtain central counter seating read more

My wife and I have followed Chef Ryuji fo many many years until recently. It's been a while since I've returned but I have very fond memories of his food. Recently my son and his wife treated me to omakase at Murayama's for my birthday. The restaurant is now omakase only and you choose the price range you want. Ours was a little over $100 a head and boy was it worth it. Instead of not knowing what to order you instead get dishes that are created that you would never think of ordering and I enjoyed every single dish. There were certain dishes that my daughter in law refused to try so my son and I took turns enjoying an extra bite. The service is good and there is a large selection of sakes. Can't go wrong. read more

Did their Omasake, one person did the 10-piece, the other the 18 and we shared. There was maybe 50% overlap. The bowl of fresh baby sardines with a poached egg was one of the best things I've ever eaten. Their spicy tuna roll situation was incredible. There were a couple bites I didn't love and a couple that were good but nothing special. Over all totally worth it and big portions. Definitely recommend. read more

TL:DR - Incredible omakase! It never disappoints. Whenever I come back to the islands I make a point of stopping by Sushi Murayama. They have the freshest and most innovative sushi that I've ever tasted. This time around my fiance treated me to a lunch time omakase that blew my socks off. I'm going to write out the dishes as they were served. Spicy tuna hand roll -Great flavor, sweet with a little bit of nuttiness. Peanut and soybeans add a unique take on it. Kohada wrapped in kelp. Black sesame sauce with sardines. On top of black throat snapper that's been fried. -The slight tartness of the kelp compliments the oiliness of the sardine. The umami flavor comes in balances out the flavors. Hamachi collar with sweet soy sauce -Super fatty and soft! The charred smokey flavor paired with the sweet soy sauce is a heavenly pairing. Perfectly cooked too! Argentina Red Sweet Shrimp -Super fresh and creamy. Doesn't at all taste like the normal shrimp flavor. It's very refreshing, like a dew drop of flavor. Ikura with grated mountain yam and sweet sauce -I'm not a huge fan of grated mountain yam, I find the texture to be off putting, but the flavor was great. Sweet, salty, with that pop of ikura. Local Big Eye Tuna with house made garlic shoyu, with rice soaked in wagyu fat. -This one was a real eye opener! The big eye tuna hits you with that creamy decadent tuna flavor and then paired with the savory fatty flavor of the rice wagyu; it was like tasting two of the most decadent foods at the same time! Super dank! I've never had a pairing like this before and just want more of it. Shima-aiji, striped jack from Japan, with grated radish and wafu yuzu sauce. -Seared really well, with a soft fluffy texture. It has a very bright umami after taste. Hokkaido Monkfish Liver with Fermented Cucumber. -I have grown to really love monkfish liver in the last couple of years and this dish just elevates it. The soft texture of the monkfish liver paired with the crunchiness of the cucumber works perfectly. Then the flavor of the creamy monkfish is balanced with the fermented flavor of the cucumber. So good. Every bite makes me want to take another. Hokkaido Kinky Rockfish on top of sushi rice made with aged vinegar -Chewy squid like texture, but really sweet. Feels very comforting like a warm hug. The rice really blew me away, such a great depth to it. Shark Cartillege with Honey plum sauce over Japanese Grouper -I didn't know they were going to serve shark, and I don't endorse the fishing or eating of it. That being said, I'll let them know ahead of time that I don't want it. Fatty Tuna with Sweet Soy Sauce -The tuna completely melts in the mouth. Incredible flavor, it's the perfect version of this sushi. It's everything I expect and more. This concludes the omakase portion of the lunch menu. It comes with 11 dishes and for what you get it's totally worth it! BUT, we wanted to ball out and swing for the fences and so ordered two more dishes. These are typically found on the dinner omakase menu, but the dinner menu is also a bit pricier. Chu-toro with Uni -Another piece of perfection! Uni is creamy and sweet with no briny taste. The chu-toro is even fattier and smooth than anything I've ever had. The combination is like eating a sliver of the moon. Cool, creamy, and out of this world. A5 Wagyu Musubi -This is about the size of a small apple and is totally not expected at a sushi restaurant, BUT it's probably the best piece of steak I've ever had. The wagyu completely melts in the mouth, and the fattiness of it soaks through all the rice giving it the same decadent flavor. It's such a hearty way to end the meal and completely stuffs me. As expected my fiance and I left completely stuffed and satisfied. Whatever sushi cravings we had were completely dispelled for the rest of the trip. It once again reaffirms why I think this is the best sushi place on the island and California for that matter. I've never had anything similar to this type of sushi anywhere on the mainland. If you're in Hawaii and you appreciate sushi for more than the standard nigiri stuff, then you'll love this place. read more

Excellent lunch at Murayama with my daughter on a recent visit. Went omakase with Chef who delivered hamachi toro sashimi, chu-toro nigiri (that was the size of a volkswagon), sardine nigiri that was a first and great, some excellent snapper and amazing hokkaido uni. Chef was awesome, great unassuming spot, they even do poke bowls for take-away. Can't wait to come back -- chef will know how much I can eat next time. read more

Easily 10 stars. We came here for a birthday celebration and we were gladly surprised! Amazing service, food has now sky rocketed our understanding of flavors and freshness and although a smaller establishment, we loved every part of it. This was the first time we have ever experienced an Omakase. We decided to do the 16 course Omakase in anticipation that we may still be hungry after. We were pleasantly mistaken. The portions were perfect. So much flavor and freshness that there were some courses that we had to double check what we were eating since with was so good and the flavors worked with each other so well to take you on this journey. A couple of our absolute favorites were the ahi nigiri and fresh Japanese eel that was prepped in Sake. Both of these felt like they melted in our mouths and had us in absolute awe as the flavors gave us chicken skin. The head sushi chef (I believe the term is Taisho) really elevated our experience. We requested to sit at the sushi bar to watch the magic in action. He definitely cooked with love, and the way he explained each course in detail helped us to truly enjoy the flavors even more. He also gave us a great recommendation for a sake to pair well with our entire dinner. Highly recommended! Reservations are a must. Will be back with friends and family for sure. read more

Excellent omakase-style sushi restaurant that was recommended by my friend that is from O'ahu. Now, the price is hefty ($180 per person) for 16 large size pieces (and that didn't include the sake that you must order too), however it was worth every penny. This was my first omakase outing, so I don't have another place to compare it to. But here's what I do know: The fish was fresh and, again, we received large portions. We had fish from Japan, Australia and Argentina (there were more locations, but I can't recall them off the top of my head). We even had shark cartilage and it was divine! I am not sure if the photos will do this place justice, but it's a must visit spot if you love fresh, raw fish and if you are someone that wants to explore seafood from around the world in one sitting. The chef and staff were really nice. I do wish that it was a bit more interactive or that they played some louder background music because it would get a bit quiet at times.. but I still enjoyed it and will visit again next time I'm in Honolulu. read more

Wowowow this is a real gem!! Hole in the wall, 3rd floor of the Sheridan Business building. Parking sucks but worth it. I had lunch here on a weekday, it wasn't too busy, so we were immediately seated. We ordered off the lunch menu: one miso butterfish teishoku set which comes with fish, rice, soup, and salad; one rice bowl which we got half and half with ahi and salmon. Everything was freshly prepared in front of us and made to perfection. You can tell chef really cares about the quality of each item. The rice was perfect. The salad was fresh and crunchy. The soup had good depth. The miso cod was buttery. The raw fish was so fresh and well seasoned (not to mention very generous). This is my new favorite lunch spot on island! read more

I regret never trying this place out before. Location and parking is super convenient ($2 for valet, 1st hour is free in the same building as Margaritas behind Walmart Ke'eaumoku 3rd floor). So happy that we chose this place for our first omakase experience and it didn't disappoint! In fact, it exceeded our expectations! We had their 16 course omakase ($180 per person) and it is worth the price! Don't skip out on dessert either! So so good! We decided to eat at the bar so we can see the chefs in action. Everything was delicious and fresh and each bite had me wanting more! You have the option of getting the smaller portion of rice or you can do sashimi style (no rice) but we opted for the regular portion. They also ask about any allergies. The service was amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better first omakase experience. I already want to go back! read more

We came back to this sushi place after 3 years, excited to try their omakase again since it used to be one of our favorites. Unfortunately, the quality has gone WAY downhill. The variety of fish is much less than before. The "uni sushi" they served was just a tiny amount of uni mixed with rice, which felt misleading. This is the only time in my life that has seen uni to mix up with rice and call it uni sushi. Overall, the fish quality, presentation, and creativity are nowhere near what they used to be. During our entire dinner, there is no other people sitting at the bar. We mentioned our concerns to the owner, but he simply said, "The menu is different every day." That doesn't explain why the quality dropped so much. Honestly, this used to be a solid omakase spot, but after this experience, I wouldn't recommend it anymore. Avoid this place if you're expecting the same quality as before. read more

I found this place on Instagram advertising the take out mini poke bowls. The mini poke bowl menu can be found on their instagram @sushimurayama. I got two bowls the mini spicy tuna with wagyu rice and the ikura salmon. The ikura salmon was amazing and extremely fresh. The flavor of the wagyu rice was delicious and a little on the richer side with the oils of the meat. Both of them came with onions, cucumbers, and a sweet ginger. I am not a ginger fan but it was delicious and almost like a ginger candy. Overall great experience and would definitely want to try the omakase next time! read more
