had a girl's dinner on friday night at sushi que. this has been on our girl dinner bucketlist ever since they opened! sushi que lies on the middle of king street next to golden pork across from tipsy pig. they offer a small parking lot in the back, but if you are scared like me, you'll have to find street parking. i believe the street parking on king street opens up around 6:30, so if you have a 5pm res on a weekday aka me, you'll have to find parkling in the surrounding neighborhood. such a cute restaurant, it truly feels like you're in japan. dinner was so yummy and costed around $150 including tip. i believe it is $120 for their omakase. all fish was super fresh and everything was great. truly a bang for your buck for traditional omakase. left feeling full, but not super full, which is perfect because i hate feeling overstuffed. considering i'm 4'11" with not a huge appetitie, if you are still hungry, you have the option of ordering more pieces at the end of your meal. i believe they are booked out till april so if you would love to visit, make a res asap! follow my foodie ig: smolgirlfatass read more

I was looking forward to trying Sushi Que after hearing strong reviews about their omakase. However, my experience just trying to make a reservation was disappointing. The woman I spoke with on the phone was noticeably curt and unfriendly when I asked a simple question about availability beyond Tuesday May 5, she said June 16. The tone came across as impatient and unwelcoming, which was surprising given the restaurant's reputation. I understand they are busy and in high demand, but customer interaction still matters, especially for a place known for an intimate omakase experience. This first impression made me reconsider visiting. read more

I'm torn about sharing this because I don't want it to get too crowded (I need to be able to make my own reservations!), but this place is too good to keep to myself. I found this hidden gem of a sushi spot, and the sushi is incredible. The chu toro and otoro literally melt in your mouth - it's that fresh and perfectly prepared. Everything else I tried was just as tasty. Check out the pictures I'm including - they really say it all. This is the real deal. Just promise you won't tell too many people! read more

Make your reservation ahead of time and come! Sushi is the most affordable omakase and it was delicious!! *Overall impression ~ Everything was a 10! My favorite was actually the seafood broth they give you at the start of the course. I also LOVED the scallop and uni. Everything was soft, buttery, and sweet. I personally didn't dislike anything that was given during this omakase. I would definitely come back. The staff are attentive, sushi comes out really quickly, and it's just an overall vibe! Also it's BYOB so bring your drinks!! read more

Sushi Que has made it onto my rotation! Located between Kyung's Seafood and Golden Pork, Sushi Que is serving up fresh seafood and sushi, omakase style. We have been coming here regularly since March. LOVE that it is BYOB. Fresh sushi, affordable omakase. This place always hits!!! I pictured it below, but there are so many highlights for this place... $120 Omakase is hard to beat. It also as supplemental rolls for purchase that I highly recommend - including spicy ahi and nodoguro. Parking is street parking only - normally we can find on a weekend. Weekdays are tougher. Can't wait until the next time we go!!! Cheers to Sushi Que on King Street. read more

Limited street parking on king st I got lucky and found one on the block right before sushi que Cheapest omakase ive had with great quality food. $100 base omakase with the option to add on at the end. And BYOB Reservations seem difficult though as its all done by hand still and gets full fast. One of those places that you make your next reservation while youre paying for your current one. Most unique thing about this place is the salt block. Lime your block, then wipe your sashimi across it before eating. No shoyu. Very very cozy place where it seems like everyone is a regular. Only a couple of tables and 10 counter seats. Theres only the sushi chef, waitress, and 1 girl dish washing. Highly recommend if you can get a res read more

Wow, such an incredible omakase experience and reasonable I might add :) I counted 15 different treats! Each one, full of flavor and presented delicately by Chef Takeo, with a few courses served by staff. Since it's BYOB, we started with a round of sake for Chef Takeo and his team. After everyone at the counter was seated, we all started with a RICH seafood broth. Wow! That got our fullest attention and deserved another pour of sake! After the seared ahi and okra, we were presented with a chilled salt slab and calamansi. Such a novel idea to enjoy three kinds of fresh sashimi :) Then we all had plump oysters. Loved the sea grapes as a topping to balance out the texture. Fun doesn't stop there, they presented us next with succulent lobster tail! So good!!! Our dining experience kept getting better when Chef presented the exquisite slices of otoro and chutoro, so yummy!!! Hard to pick a favorite course but if I had to, the flounder with shiso leaf is in my top 5 :) Next course was the ika with yuzu and then a generous portion of shrimp. The ikura was a fun burst and I gotta say, their seasoned rice and quality first harvest nori is exceptionally delicious! Love the smokey flavor :) Overall, this was an incredible omakase dining experience. The food was fresh and flavorful. Their service was fun and lively. Chef Takeo has a Ska Playlist that he's jamming to which I absolutely loved too. The best time to call is between noon and 5pm to make a reservation. As of September 9th, they are booked solid through November. Totally worth the wait! read more

With so many Japanese omakase restaurant selections in town now, Sushi Que gets my vote of quality, service, and value. The husband and wife duo has successfully gained a following where it takes a minimum of two months to get into the door. Pro tip: make future reservations when you're there. Seating times are 5:30pm and 7:30pm for the sushi counter. They have 9 seats. Regular tables have different time seating, but I prefer the counter. You'll leave full. At the end of the course you'll be given an option for additional until your hearts content. read more

Very excellent omakase experience. The place is small and nicely furnished. Sat at the sushi counter which was spacious, well lit, and gave us a little peak as the sushi chef preparing our sushi. They don't have it listed anywhere but it's automatically omakase and although not listed anywhere it's $100/pp. You can order other sushi after your omakase order is done, but we weren't given the option to just order ala carte when we arrived. It's BYOB I believe for all drinks. I think read more

We were treated to this omakase experience. Sushi Que reservations are difficult to come by because the place is small (perhaps 18 seats). The food is on point and very good for $125. After included items are done, you can order more off a short menu. Very friendly staff and chef. What a treat!!! BYOB (sake) and also share it w the staff! read more

Omakase dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... If you're a brave eater and enjoy pleasant surprises, you will like Sushi Que! Along with its clever business name (que is "nine" in Japanese language), the place is cleanly modern (check out the convenient restroom), and the service is efficiently exceptional and personable! Our party of 3 sat at the sushi bar and conversed with the chef and server - they both have excellent English skills and are witty (ask them about their hiking and camping adventures and how they moved to Hawaii!) The food was over the top! Presentation, quality, taste... all of the little attention to details - like squeezing the lime juice on the Himalayan Salt slab and "shabu shabu-ing" the trio of sashimi across the slab... are much appreciated! Other standouts were the Lobster, wagyu, ikura, oyster, seafood bouillabaisse, Angel shrimp, and extra nori on the tip of the handroll so that the rice doesn't ooze out of the cone! It was one of the most fun foodie adventures! Thank you, Paul, for this super memorable experience and one of the best dinners ever! read more

This byob omakase is a good value at $100.00. Portion size average to small. Sushi is fresh delicious and it was creative that they used a Himalayan salt slab to use instead of shoyu for some offerings. They have additional items on a short menu board that you can order in addition after the omakase. We did order more because we were still hungry. I noticed a lot of repeat customers as the husband and wife team knew them. Seating is limited sushi counter and a couple of tables. That being said it's quite difficult to get a reservation they seem to be booked months in advance. Parking is also limited. All in all a good experience. read more

Two months. That was the waiting time to come here with some good friends. You see, I took my sister and family to my go to place for omakase in January and the chef asked me casually if I had ever been to Sushi Que (SQ). I looked them up after I got home and read Randy S.'s review and glanced at tantalizing food porn. I texted some good friends where the wait was 2 months to secure seating for 3 people. Earlier tonight we arrived at SQ, which shares a small parking lot behind with Golden Pork. It was a state holiday today so we took advantage of street parking with counter reservations at 5pm. After we sat down the staff asked us if we needed glasses for our drinks as it's BYOB but these friends tonight are eaters and not into alcohol. Not too long after the remaining people for the 5pm counter reservations arrived, food was served to us by courses. Generally speaking, I was impressed with the chef's skills of various preparations of seafood. He clearly pays attention to detail and many dishes were executed well. My favorite of the evening was the torched shimaaji with yuzu kosho that hit so many notes in my mouth. The miso soup had finesse and clearly tasted the dedication and time spent to render the fish broth. We were asked of any allergies where I informed them my dislike of fish with shiny skin (i.e. saba and kohada), where the chef substituted the Saba offering with tuna instead. I also enjoyed the South Africa lobster tail that was cooked medium rare. Reminded me of eating something similar during my visits to Sasabune. Service was outstanding. Seems like a team of husband and wife where they worked in unison serving eager patrons. It was a full house when we left at 630pm. Come to find out, the couple knows Chef Ryuji, who suggested I come to SQ to try them out. This island is indeed small. Overall, a very satisfying meal spent with good friends on this Prince Kunio holiday. Didn't have to work all day today and ate out for all three meals today with good foodie friends, with the best as the omakase at SQ. I'm determined to drag my family here for dinner one night. NOTE: There are two seatings of 5pm and 730pm for their counter seating that fits 9 seats. Currently there's a 2 month waiting period as it's fully booked and they don't make reservations more than 2 months out. read more

Aloha, if you love sushi, Sushi Que is a must (if you can get in). It's also BYOB, which makes for a more affordable evening, yes! Chef's wife serves, while chef works hard preparing your next dish. They also love when you share some sake with them, LOL. It's a fun sushi bar! Sitting at the bar, there are 2 seatings. Whereas sitting at the tables (6 pax) seats at 6:30 (in between and overlapping the other2 seatings). They are well organized and it's a fun lively place. Solid sushi, easy access on King street, next door to Kyung's. Enjoy! read more

Sushi Que seems to be a local favorite for getting omakase at a bargain - they offer 2 seatings in the evening, and the counter seating has 9 seats - when booking, make sure you request a seating at the sushi counter for a better experience! Our omakase consisted of 15+ items, which included o-toro, miugai, hamo, lobster, wagyu, anago, kohada, iwashi, nodoguro, and ayu. Presentation was simple and clean, and there were uses of Himalayan salt and lime juice. Staff were friendly, and the place is small and simple, with light wooden decor. +bargain omakase +request central sushi counter seating read more

Had the best time here during my mini moon with my hubs. The fish selection was exceptional and very fresh. You can tell this is a unique omakase spot just by the soup they serve for appetizer. It wasn't your average miso soup, but almost like a bouillabaisse. You honestly get a little of everything here: appetizers, sashimi, nigiri, hand rolls, 2 soups, and dessert. My favorite part of the meal was when they brought out the salt rock to eat with the 3 types of sashimi. This omakase spot is run by a husband and wife, who are the sweetest people. We can't wait to come back! Reservations are extremely hard to get as there aren't many seats, so always try to book in advance! read more

I was very fortunate to be included in a group dinner at a new Omakase restaurant called Sushi Que. Small location on King Street with a couple tables and an L shaped sushi counter that seats 9 guests is perfect for a nice and relaxing dinner. It's BYOB at the moment with no corkage fee which helps keep your costs down. The Great: $100 omakase that is simply amazing. Each course is fantastic and sit at the counter to watch a sushi master prepare each dish. You can also order additional items or revisit an omakase item at the end, I ended up adding on the O-Toro, YakiShirako, Nodaguro, and a Kawahagi to top off the evening. The chef and his wife are great hosts we had a lot of fun chatting with them through the evening. The Good: Due to it's small seating capacity you have to make a reservation well in advance. I believe they are already may be booked out a couple months but it is well worth the wait! The Okay: The only minor inconvenience is the parking. Very small lot behind the restaurant otherwise it will be looking for street parking in the neighborhood or King Street. Some in our group found parking a few blocks away but that's minor inconvenience for such a great experience! Overall: We noticed many Omakase style sushi bars opening over the last year but not many that can match the quality with the price. Highly recommend Sushi Que for anyone who loves great sushi! read more

For a high quality omakase, this was a great and affordable option. Went as a large party and enjoyed the 10 course Omakase and dessert. Highly recommend everything. The ice cream they served was homemade. The service is 10/10, it's a small staff and everyone is friendly and you're greeted when you enter. Great option for a special occasion or date night. The only difficult part was parking, circled King St a couple of time and had to park a little far away but depending on day and time I'm sure parking could be easier. read more

Located on King Street next to Golden Pork, Sushi Que is a sushi restaurant offering $100 per person omakase with the option of ordering additional items at the end of your meal. The chef began at Jinya before opening his own restaurant and calling it Que, which is his nickname. The restaurant is small and cozy with a 6 person table and a sushi counter that seats 9. For the best experience, definitely recommend sitting at the sushi counter. The omakase began with an appetizer, bouillabaisse, and an oyster followed by sashimi that is served with a Himalayan salt plate you use to salt your sashimi. Then, we were served ten delicious pieces of nigiri. All in all, it was a fantastic sushi experience and a must try for any sushi lover! They are open from 5pm to 9pm and closed Wednesdays and Thursdays. For reservations, call between 2pm and 5pm. The restaurant is BYOB. read more

Located on King street finding street parking can be tricky but I seem to find a close and convenient one all the time. Owners are formerly from Gakku and Sasabune. That being said they are bringing the finest, fresh seasonal fish to please your palate. I love the artistic presentation and blends of ingredients to highlight each dish. Omakase starting at $110/person. BYOB right now. Chef is engaging and the staff friendly. I love coming here! Highly recommend! read more

Far from an ideal dining room, tight and too cool on one side. Some faults in knife work. Uncomplicated shari lacking bite. But. Absolutely thoughtful progression, and daring to accent neta w different flavors. The meal is not for those looking for the usual flavor heavy hitters. At a current $100 price point this is probably the best value for a good quality sushi omakase you will find in Honolulu. Chef-Owner Takeo Koga opens w a seafood broth amuse served like a boulliabasse in an espresso cup. Intense balanced shellfish and katsuo flavors. An unconventional mukozuke presentation of three sashimi has a separate plate to spritz calamansi citrus on each piece and follows while you are still sipping your amuse. The otsumami are delightful. Shiraae, a nutty mix of tofu, roasted sesame, miso, is served w Ika legs. A Kusshi oyster w katsuo dashi ikura, ponzu, and Hawaiian chili oil. Then, a tiny Tristan Island Lobster Tail. A sweet succulent cold water rock lobster from Tristan de Cunha - this is an unexpected luxury treat! The nigiri starts w chutoro. Kadugodai, a young sea bream, and Yari Ika bring a texture change. Saba is served as a handroll. Then, another surprise. New Caledonia Blue Shrimp served with a kimizu oboro - kimizu is a usually a creamy bright egg yolk/rice vinegar/mirin sauce but Chef Koga has stirred it dry into tiny granules. A few gunkan, nigiri, and handroll follow, w a torotaku temaki served last. A strong flavorful katsuo dashi miso soup helps to settle your stomach at the finish. There will be a variety of supplement nigiri and handroll that are worth exploring. As they are still awaiting a liquor license you are welcome to bring your own alcohol of choice. Basically two seatings a night - they are a little flexible about the times. You may get lucky with a same night seating but there is already a strong following of customers who book their next omakase before they leave. If you can handle leaving things at the discretion of Chef Koga then Sushi Que should be on your rotation of sushi omakase. read more

New omakase spot that opened about one week ago which I had the pleasure of trying. Husband and wife owned business. They are friendly, professional yet fun. The space is clean, bright, intimate and simply chic. It's BYOB (not sure if that will change in the future) and there's a store next door to get sake, wine, champagne, beer... pretty much all the standards that go with fresh fish. There was also no chairs at the sushi bar when we went. We thought it was purposeful as that can be a common practice in some Japanese establishments however they are just not delivered yet. I enjoyed the standing*, as did all my friends, so we hope it's an option that stays. *none of us were wearing heels or have ailments in regards to the standing. Understand it might not be for everyone but we all quite enjoyed eating on our feet. I looove omakase but for those who may be unfamiliar- you don't order from a menu but instead get serve single serve portions of what the chef decides. Omakase literally does mean "I leave it to you". Of course, allergies are reviewed up front and dislikes taken into consideration... but besides that your meal is chef's decision. Not only does Sushi Que have great presentation but the fish was so fresh and high quality. Chef explained the origin of each fish. All dishes were well prepared and the rice, for the dishes that came with it, was the perfect warm temperature which my mouth appreciated in contrast to the cool fish is accompanied. If you like omakase then this is a must try! If you've been tempted to try, this is also a great place to put your faith in the chef's choices. You'll leave with a happy heart and full stomach. read more

3.5 stars Sushi Que has been a popular mention when talking about omakase among friends. My first reservation was for a party of 4 but when they confirmed right before the actual date of the reservation, it was for only 2 people. I was a little annoyed because it was a two month wait to go. They did apologize for the mix up so we decided to give them a second chance but they also messed up the second reservation by telling us the wrong date. At this point, I was over coming here but one of my friends wanted to give them a try for his birthday so this was the last try I was giving them. Thankfully it worked out and my friend got to try their omakase. It's BYOB so of course we had two bottles of sake to enjoy with our meal. Customer service was friendly and they apologized again a few times to me for the previous reservation mix ups. I can see why this spot is so popular! They offer good value with the amount of courses you get and it's BYOB. They have about 9 seats for sushi counter seating so make sure to make reservations there if you do omakase. There is also a table inside that seats about 6 people. The restaurant is simple but clean and they have their own private restroom. Overall a fun night and we got to celebrate my friend for his birthday. read more

This is an appointment only small restaurant. I've been here twice now and it definitely is one of the more affordable omakases on the island. I did notice that some of the fish in the omakase did overlap even after a few months but also a few different course as well. The service is awesome, super friendly couple working the counter. Each piece is made with love and has some modern twists to it. read more

Like a ton of local kids growing up in the 90's, I didn't become privy to good omakase until I was in my 20's. Sushi Sasabune--the first time I had real otoro and chutoro--one of the most indelible food memories of my life. Not to hate on ahi, but damn. Not the same. I will never not recommend Sasabune to visitors because of my experiences there. Presently, there are a ton of omakase places in Honolulu. And I gotta say, I haven't been to a bad one. If one is willing to pay a decent chunk, we have good sushi in Honolulu. A few months ago, I found myself in Sushi Que, and it was that same feeling I felt almost thirty years ago. This place is... different. It's not just the chutoro, the lobster, the bisque, the sashimi, and countless other dishes, AND the fact that it's BYOB (YES!). As I've gotten older, I've had to opportunity to dine at Michelin star sushi places in LA and Tokyo. I rank Sushi Que among these. Service is incredibly efficient. The amount of food is daunting in a good way. It's the closest thing to being in a Japanese omakase in Hawaii. Parking can be a challenge (of course), and reservations need to be booked a couple months ahead. But if you manage to get there, you'll be wiping your sashimi on a slab of citrusy pink salt ice before popping it in your mouth. You'll also be eating ikura so full and delicate, that it you try to pick up a single orb of it with your chopsticks, the egg will probably burst. read more

I got a 1 pax reservation after hearing about this place as I'm on a mission to try every decent omakase in Hawaii. This place is booked til May probably because it's only $100, although I ended up over $150 with the add-ons. Don't have time to go through a play by play but I do love this place. Attention to detail, quality, intimacy, vibe is all there. They need to increase the price to at least $125 otherwise it's going to be impossible to eat here soon. Love it. read more

Dinner here is always so yummy. Plan ahead though if you plan to come because they're always booked two months out. This is a small place and counter seats about 7 people with an additional 6 seats of table seating. This omakase is not exorbitant priced and fare is always so fresh. The most unique thing about this omakase is the salt plate which chef brings out for the sashimi course. This place is BYOB as well. read more

By appointment only and omakase only. Fresh seafood from around Japan, oysters from Washington state, and shrimp from New Caledonia, a tour de force! Each set was a treat for the senses--my favorite was the set with three kinds of fish, fresh wasabi, and frozen ice with Himalayan salt. Squeeze a calamansi on the salted ice, then drag a slice of fish with a dab of fresh wasabi across it. Delicious. BYOB. Great service. Clean bathroom and cozy ambiance. read more

Went for the Omakase with friends. Very small restaurant. There was a large, loud party at the counter. We could not hear each other at our table. It was much better after they left. The sushi was good but the sashimi slices were a little thin. Our friends told us how to use the Himalayan salt since they been there before. Otherwise, there was no explanation.

Sushi Que is such an incredible omakase experience that we make a future reservation every time we visit. Each course is so delicious that my mouth is watering as I write this review. The meal begins with the most flavorful bouillabaisse and is followed by well crafted dishes of the freshest seafood from Japan and Seattle. For the sashimi, they serve it with a Himalayan salt plate and lime which is such a show stopper. The service is impeccable and we love booking the entire sushi bar. This is the perfect place for groups and is BYOB. What more can you ask for! read more

Service: The owners were the sweetest as they really made all of us feel welcomed and comfortable. We did have some miscommunication earlier, but it was resolved immediately. They even gifted us with a sake bottle and hamachi kama, which were excellent. They both always had a smile and were very attentive to our needs! Food: One of the best omakase I had, and the price was definitely worth it. I loved the rock salt table where we had to shabu shabu our sashimi on it, which was a unique experience. I need one of those for myself. There's an option to order additional items after your omakase is done, and they have a menu to show what is available. Ambiance: it felt a little warm in the beginning, but after a little bit, it felt comfortable. They do have bar stools now, as well as an 8 top table. It felt like a cozy place, the only thing that might be a challenge is the parking. They do share a lot with golden pork, so hopefully you got the parking MOJO.
