We head here every time we are in town. I can't get enough of their local green salad and their tasty dressing. We gorge on the salad - definitely generous portion to share - and then dive into the sushi. Haven't been disappointed yet. Can't even believe they are taking their fresh food/local sourcing another step further and now serve brunch. Wow! Can't wait to go back! We always get a warm welcome and great service. Add this fun little corner eatery to your list!! We usually eat on the side patio and it is delightful!! read more

Sushi Spot - French toast that almost doesn't leave you feeling guilty!! - Japanese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Looking for sushi and comfort food? I still can't believe I hadn't tried Sushi Spot in Aiea sooner. This place was recommended to me by a co-worker and wow! It absolutely did not disappoint. Safe to say I'll be wondering why I waited so long! We ordered quite a variety and every dish brought something delicious to the table. The Red Spider (soft shell crab, crab meat, romaine lettuce, cucumber, avocado, and tobiko) was incredible. Every single bite was packed with flavor and texture. That crispy soft shell crab added the perfect crunch that made this roll hard to stop eating. The Black Spider (soft shell crab, crab meat, cream cheese, romaine lettuce, cucumber, and avocado) was an interesting twist from the Red Spider. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was equally delicious. The cream cheese gave it a richer, creamier bite that worked surprisingly well. Next up was the Chicken Katsu Curry. Japanese-style curry with veggies and crispy chicken katsu over rice. The chicken was beautifully crispy, exactly how katsu should be. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired perfectly with the rich curry. The veggies were cooked just right too. Overall, a really satisfying dish. The Spicy Ahi Handroll was another winner. You really can't go wrong with this one. It was fresh, flavorful, and honestly disappeared within two bites. Yum! Then came the Pork Katsu Donburi with scrambled eggs, veggies over rice, drizzled with their amazing house sauce. Just like the chicken, the pork katsu was delicious. But can we talk about that sauce? Perfecto. I'm not sure what's in it, but it tied the entire dish together beautifully. And of course, dessert! The Fried Oreo with Ice Cream. It came with vanilla ice cream surrounded by deep-fried Oreo and drizzled with chocolate syrup. It was yuuuuummy! Hands down, I would order this again. Do not pass up this dessert. From sushi rolls to katsu dishes and ending on a sweet note, Sushi Spot completely exceeded expectations. Great flavors, satisfying portions, and multiple dishes I'd happily order again. If you've been driving by this place and saying, "I'll try it one day," take this as your sign. This spot is an absolute must try! read more

THE BEST!!! THE BEST EVERYTHING!!!! Hate to even review this place. We don't need it more busy!! So good! Everything is incredible. Parking can be a pain tho! read more

This is a cute little spot for some sushi. I thought the service was excellent and the sushi rolls were good. I am not a fan of pasty tuna, though, so I was a bit disappointed with the spicy ahi. I like it chopped up instead but that's my fault for not asking. Overall, great experience as I've always wanted to try this spot. The baked green mussels were delicious! read more

I did alot of takeout before and it's always been consistent. Today, we decided to sit-in and just relax. Very cozy with a few tables spaciously apart. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We had the Chirashi, Titanic Roll, and the Red Dragon Roll. The Chirashi is always good and the fish is always fresh. I like the slightly grilled shrimp on top. The Titanic Roll with Salmon leading the roll is excellent. The Red Dragon Roll is incredible with the crunchy tempura shrimp being the star. For a party of 2, this was alot of food. We had leftovers for takeout along with some other nigiri to go. read more

Ordered the Lion King roll, unagi roll, and two spicy ahi hand rolls, and everything was spot on. The Lion King roll was rich and flavorful, with perfectly baked fish on top and just the right amount of sauce -- indulgent without being overpowering. Each bite was warm, savory, and satisfying. The unagi roll was done really well. The eel was tender and buttery, with a nice balance of sweetness from the sauce and a subtle smokiness that didn't overwhelm the rice. The spicy ahi hand rolls were fresh, generously filled, and had a clean heat that built slowly instead of overpowering the fish. The nori was crisp, and the portions were solid. Overall, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Great variety, great flavors -- I'd absolutely order these again. read more

This SUSHI hit the SPOT!! I ordered the rainbow #2 roll and the kamikaze roll. My husband got a natto temaki, spicy salmon roll, and mount fuji roll. We also shared an order of agedashi tofu which came with a heaping mound of bonito flakes. Out of all the rolls we ordered the spicy salmon was our favorite! read more

If you are looking for a Sushi Spot in Aiea, Sushi Spot is the place to go! Located at the bottom of Aiea Heights Drive in Aiea commercial center! It's a small restaurant, I would consider hole in the wall, looks family owned. The past times we went, we were able to walk in. Was introduced to this place by my sister, and omg I'm so glad she did. It's one of her favorite places as well. Our go to is the crab tempura and Calvin's choice. The wife ordered the sushi and sashimi combo deluxe. And for dessert, the fried Oreos with ice cream. Oh my gosh, so good. Hit the spot! Everything was so good like always. The crab tempura, good. The Calvin's choice was good, and the sushi and sashimi combo deluxe was good. Next time I'm gunna try the hamachi lovers choice. I love my hamachi! Customer service was also great like always.

Sushi Spot - Spicy scallop nigiri, tekka maki and spicy tuna nigiri! ((Packed so beautifully to go)) - Japanese Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

Mahalo Stretch, great choice for a snack before the airport. We arrived before the dinner rush and was seated right away. We wanted something not too heavy but just enough before the flight. The Sushi Deluxe Combo was a perfect snack for two! In a reasonable amount of time, this delicious platter was served. Quality slices of fresh fish, perfectly seasoned sushi rice, and this included hot miso soup and hot green tea. I appreciate when the tables and chairs are clean. Most important to me is that the dining area isn't too crowded nor noisy. I like to hear my friend's conversation :) Our server was very gracious and kind. Our Sushi Deluxe Combo was perfect! We enjoyed our dining experience here and we made it to the airport in plenty of time. read more

We had to bring our youngest daughter for chiro appt and stopped by here for lunch. Amazing as usual. The server remembered us and I tell you, service is key. Their food is off the chart, at least for us. We really enjoy dining here and I have no complaint. Look, there are so many sushi joints but we enjoy the food and the service here. When my 11 year old tells me she wants to come back here, it speaks volume too. The ambiance is great. Small cozy spot, 6 tables or so and they play music videos on two screens. I'd strongly suggest making reservations for evenings. Plenty of parking and smiles throughout the whole dining experience. My go to sushi spot. We always order the sashimi special, titanic roll, spicy Camacho is really ono, mandoo (filling ratio is perfect), ama ebi. If I could, I would order more but we still had left overs. Stop by and enjoy some yummy sushi! read more

Lunch in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... As I was walking to my car from Aloha Charms, I saw the sign for Sushi Spot. I've heard the name before... why? My friend, Traci T., got ROTD (Review of the Day) ten years ago! More recently, my friends, Craig, Deborah, and Gabriel have dined there. Ok - let's try it since we're here! Sushi Spot is truly one of those "hidden gems". It's a cozy nook where the driveway is kinda spooky because it's on an incline. The free parking lot was almost full! Inside, there were only 2 open tables! This place is popular! Service was very polite, traditional Japanese, and efficient! The server was so kind with a soft voice and gracious manners. I decided on the Sashimi Special... it was beautiful, fresh, and delicious! I ate the scallop first... mmm... slightly sweet and soft! I ate the grilled shrimp last and was surprised by the slight kick from the Sriracha/mayo sauce... LOL! Very clever - to add it to the smokey flavor! I also enjoyed the lettuce leaves, salmon, ahi, tamago, tako, squid with tobiko, and hamachi! This was a great, spontaneous adventure! I'll be back! Note: Thanks for the fun condiments on the table: shoyu, wasabi, and ginger! Thank you so much for the complimentary hot tea at the end of the meal! read more

Service: The moment you walk in you are greeted! Very nice peeps there! All smiles and super friendly! Ambiance: It's a small whole in the wall place in Aiea, and parking was pretty easy. My husband and I were able to get there before the dinner rush. When you walk in, it's clean and very well lit. Food: Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo....freaking good! We got the sashimi platter, agedashi tofu, spicy salmon salad, Calvin's sushi and another sushi roll I forgot. Oh, and the hubby got the spicy mochiko chicken. The food came out pretty quick! Which is always a plus cuz we were starving! The sashimi was fresh and delicious! Agedashi tofu and the salad were also good! When they brought out the spicy mochiko chicken I was expecting the fried chicken to be sauced, but instead put the sauce on the side. Which I thought it was a plus because they were thoughtful on my husband's part. Overall, we had a great time! We will definitely come back again soon! read more

There's nice and there's Sushi Spot. A small sushi restaurant in Aiea ran by a family. They are so sweet, friendly, and pleasant. You can definitely feel the positive energy. Aside from free/complimentary water, their miso soup is also complimentary. If you are in the mood for pretty good quality sushi around Aiea, this may be an option. (But really there isn't much good sushi place on this side of the island.) It is a small place and not sure if you can make reservation. My husband got the Hamachi lover and he was pretty happy with it. I tried their 2 pieces shrimp tempura udon. Broth was on the peppery side but good. They do have other entrees like chicken cutlet, udon, donburi, etc if you're not a raw fish eater like me. Be sure to try their fried oreo with vanilla ice cream at the end. It was a nice treat after the meal. Just a small note, if you're looking for an authentic Japanese sushi experience, I would try somewhere in town. read more

It's a small "mom/pop". Service was wonderful. Parking was good. Good was tasteful. We came on a slow day, we were the only customers.

soooooo good! fish was so fresh and their miso soup is so yummy have definitely recommended this spot to others

Fish is so fresh and sushi so yummy! You gotta try this spot in Aiea. Lots of parking available in the lot, about 10 tables inside this cozy, casual restaurant. We were seated quickly and perusing the menu when we joined in on singing Happy Birthday to a young guest there! What a great family vibe! So many choices on the menu and prices are what you expect to pay at a sushi place. Fresh fish and lovely service from this family business. We'll be back! read more

Great sushi rolls in Aiea! The storefront was an unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. I expected spicy ahi bowls and sushi platters, but you could get Sansei level rolls here too! The shop itself was small, with a few tables and chairs and a bar area. The nigiri was good, but if you compare it to other izakaya's in town it's not quite the a same level. The rolls are what you should order and appears to be Sushi Spot's strong suit. This place offered sashimi and nigiri, but also had an assortment of Americanized influenced rolls like California rolls, caterpillar roll, and the rainbow roll. They even have cream cheese...I personally don't understand cream cheese with rice, but you uninitiated can get that. There are just so many roll combinations. It's overwhelming since there were so much to choose from. I usually get one roll with salmon, one with spicy ahi, and one with unagi. Service was great, like you'd expect from most Japanese restaurants. The take out was well packaged with a cardboard carry box. I've come here a few times. I've tried nigiri, the rolls, and fried stuff like chicken katsu and mandoo. Mandoo may not be Japanese but they make it good. Agedashi tofu is a must try and really good. Go for the fancy rolls! Can't go wrong. I never took pictures of the rolls. I just ate it too fast. read more

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Let me get the cons out of the way: 1. Location isn't that great because the restaurant is small so it can only hold a small amount of parties at a time and it can get pretty busy. The parking can be a hit or miss because it can fill up due to the other businesses located in the area. But if you go right when they open or right after lunch rush, then you're set! And to be honest, it is worth the wait. 2. The menu is HUGE. I personally like the variety, the pictures provided and the descriptions given. But I've gone to the restaurant with other people who say the menu can be a bit overwhelming. I recommend giving yourself a head start by looking at menus and pictures on yelp so you know what to order. Now, what's great about the restaurant? The portion sizes, taste, quality and service! The portion sizes are fair for the price and it's hard to order anything that doesn't taste good. There's are items for those that don't like seafood, but limited items for those that are vegetarian or vegan. But let's be honest, this is a sushi restaurant. The quality of fish is great for the price you pay. And the service? Top notch. They're attentive and pay attention to detail. You also get one free miso soup. The food comes out pretty fast so you can be in and out of there. But again, this is based on the times I've went and I've been there during lunch, lunch rush, after lunch, and dinner. It's always been consistent for me. read more

Great food and service everytime! I used to work nearby and ate here multiple times a week! Their whole menu is truly delicious and they put care into every order they make! I'd often get salmon avocado hand rolls , the spicy ahi hand roll is also delicious, 2 was perfect for lunch for me. The variety of rolls are all delicious Titanic roll was my favorite , fresh salmon! So good Hamachi lovers choice is a great lunch to spoil yourself Stuffed mushrooms were soo yummy! Perfect fresh mushrooms, creamy yet crunchy mix Desert: I've only eaten there a few times but the Oreo desert was great too! They truly put care and effort into all their food that it's all good and worth it I believe it's a family ran business, always so kind great service read more

Finally got to dine here. The menu was extensive with lots of sushi rolls. There was actually a lot to choose from. The waitress greeted us and brought out water and miso soup right away. Luckily it wasn't busy. I noticed that at the bottom of my clear cup, there were tiny white things stuck, and little bits floating around. The dishwasher didn't do a good job immediately. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I drank half the water already. Check your cups before you drink! Ordered 3 rolls. SOS. Salmon Cali. Titanic. See photos for more info. I enjoyed all three rolls. The ambiance was casual and like a small mom and pop restaurant. Definitely will be back again to try more rolls! I'll be sure to check my cup too. Haha. read more

This is the best spot to get sushi in Aiea. And I have been to them all at every price point in Aiea... Taste: excellent, fresh, very creative dishes Service: friendly greeting, immediate delivery of miso soup and water, constant checking. Condiments on table always full and clean. Love it. Ambiance: simple decor but I do not mind it at all. You can see the kitchen which I for some reason appreciate. Value: excellent value. I cannot express how fair these prices are. Return?: over and over and over again. read more

Here we are on Christmas Eve and looking to fill our bellies with yummy food. It's been over 10 years since we've been here and they're still here in the same spot. Interior looks different, clean and bright. And everyone inside is absolutely lovely, all are friendly and amazing. We were able to get a table for 5 very quickly. The kiddies shared chickens katsu plate and the adults shared a bunch of nigiris (hamachi, salmon, maguro and unagi) and a spicy tuna hand roll: The kiddies were extremely happy with the chicken katsu, licked up their plates clean. The staff gave them all each a vanilla ice cream scoop. So nice of them!!! Definitely a place to add to our take-out list for those days when the hubby needs to cook. :) read more

Very good sushi here! The rolls are fantastic and surprisingly very affordable. The service is fast and extremely friendly. The water tastes very clean. Not like some other restaurants where you would need lemon or not drink the water at all. I never write about water but this place just had something about it. This small restaurant is very busy. Lots of take out orders and lots of dine in customers. I don't think there is a time limit and there is no alcohol served here. It might be BYOB but I'd definitely ask first. Great place! I will be coming back. read more

I came here on my lunch break and the moment I stepped foot there, I felt welcomed. The staff there promptly greeted us and sat us right away. Within seconds of sitting down, we received water and miso soup to start with. The miso soups were complimentary which is rare but also a very nice surprise and service. We ordered spicy ahi hand rolls, Tobiko nigiri, unagi handroll, hamachi nigiri, shrimp tempura apps, and the kamikaze roll. Everything we ordered came out in a prompt manner. The sushi tasted so good. The hand rolls were good in portions, the ratio between rice and fish was perfect for me. In terms of ambiance, it was casual, clean and not too loud. The place got busy though. Overall, I loved this place. I will be coming back more often for lunch since the service was so accommodating and fast. Highly recommend!!!! read more

Hands down the best sushi restaurant. Amazing customer service from every single person working there. They recognize us every time we come and even remember what sauces and usual stuff we ask for. My son turned 12 and asked for that as his birthday dinner. They were so sweet and even brought out an ice cream with candle while the entire staff sang him Happy Birthday. The sushi is always fresh and amazing. Every single person who visits us asks to be taken there. Never disappointed! read more

Can't believe I waited so long to try this place! The space is cute and intimate, and everything we ordered was fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff is super friendly and attentive--service is quick without feeling rushed. My personal favorite is the Dragonfly Roll, but honestly, everything we tried was amazing. And don't skip dessert--the deep-fried Oreos are out of this world, with a batter that reminds me a bit of andagi. read more

Best sushi on the island. They're always so nice when I go there. Truly a hidden gem.

We love this place! From the moment you walk in, they're trying to take care of you and they truly make you feel like you're at home. They always cater to make food safe for my daughter, make her laugh, and spoil her with ice cream treats. The sushi by far is some of the best I've had because it's made with love and you can just feel the pride they have with their food. Everything has always been consistently fresh, not overly sauced, and VERY reasonably priced. There's free parking, plenty of parking which is a plus but beware that it is a smaller establishment so you may have to wait for a table. I always feel at home when I come here especially with my daughter and I couldn't recommend a better place. read more

We tried sushi spot for the first time for a coworkers birthday and really enjoyed it! There was a huge variety of rolls that were all very reasonably priced and all very delicious! We shared several different rolls and we all liked all of them. The service was amazing, the woman who was working while we were there was so kind and helpful and even brought us out extra plates and knives and forks when we brought out the cake we bought for our coworker. The restaurant is very small so you should call to make a reservation. I would definitely return in the future! read more

Located in the Aiea Commercial Center off on the left side across of Aiea Shopping Center. Went there yo celebrate our Anniversary lunch, tried calling first could not leave a message on the answering machine, because message said it is not set up yet? You would think a business would put on a recording that they will be closed during a certain day and time, so customers wouldn't drive all the way there to find out it is closed! So we had to find someplace else to grab lunch, because we already had plans for dinner and traffic for some reason was backed up going into town? Maybe everyone going to Poke man functions Wish they would place a message on their business phone to notify customers if they will suddenly have to close! I understand family run business sometimes have to close due to unforeseen circumstances, but they should at least notify customers ahead not with a message posted on the door entrance. read more

Excellent food and service. Fish on sushi is FRESH! Tried the Chirashi. It was huge and fresh, fresh, fresh.

Saw a review on IG and decided to give this a shot. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday evening so we weren't sure we would get in. It is a small restaurant with very limited seating. (6 tables) Lucky for us we were greeted with a smile and warm welcome as we walked in. She asked how many and we said six and there happened to be one table left open and it seated 6! As we looked through the menu she asked for our drink orders. Once those arrived she brought us each a bowl of miso soup. It was unexpected and really hit the spot. We ordered some shrimp tempura, four different sushi rolls, chicken katsu and for dessert fried Oreos with ice cream. The items arrived one by one as they were made. First out was the shrimp tempura. 2 pieces for a great starter with the miso. Next out was the crab tempura roll. Delicious. After that the chicken katsu came. Crisply fried and the sauce was great. The Kamikaze roll was next. May have been a favorite at our table. My selection was the Lion King. Delicious! The pieces are stuffed so full and high that you had to take two bites. So good. This roll is baked and the cream cheese left it so creamy I may have been wise to use a fork as the chopsticks made it fall apart. It was delicious no matter how sloppy it may have looked as I ate it. The last roll to arrive was the Mt Fuji. It was really good too. There wasn't a roll that we wouldn't order again. We are known for over ordering when we go out but believe it or not to our shock and amazement we ate every bite and had nothing left to take home. The dessert came out and everyone divided it up. Our waitress even brought us some extra ice cream to share. We didn't stick around any longer than we needed to bc there was a line of people waiting to have a seat and our table was in demand. I'd definitely return again. Just beware you may have a wait when you arrive. I believe it would be worth the wait though. Enjoy. read more
