Yelp definitely led me astray with the wait times at Totoya. My wife and I stopped by on a Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. -- a full hour before they opened, in full anticipation that there would be a long line, and to our surprise, there was not a single party in line. Around 10:20 a.m., one couple showed, but at 11:00 when they opened, it was still only just our two parties in line. Five minutes before they opened, the waitress actually came out to take our order so they could get a head start on our orders (and because they felt bad that we had been waiting for so long outside). If you're stopping by early to wait, just be prepared to brave the hot sun, as there's no awning, trees, or shade to hide under. My wife ordered the Matsu bowl, while I ordered the Miyabi -- their Kaisen bowl with two pieces of tuna, negitoro, a sweet shrimp, three pieces of scallop, salmon roe and tobiko. We both opted to add the soy marinated egg. Many reviewers have mentioned that the uni doesn't really add much to the experience and I'd have to agree with them. The uni is fine, but it's not worth the extra splurge over the base bowl in my opinion. What makes Totoya a memorable experience for me was the high quality of all the ingredients. I loved the sweetness and tenderness of the shrimp and the scallop, and the negitoro had multiple layers of texture throughout. The fluffy rice is perfectly cooked and the soy marinated egg yolk oozes a wonderful richness that nicely complements the fish. If you want to change up the flavor profile even more, there is also fresh sesame seeds available at the table you can grind in as well. The kaisen bowls here definitely hold their own compared to the ones I had in Hokkaido last year -- absolutely delicious! I would not hesitate to stop by Totoya again if I'm in Oahu. read more

Probably my favorite chirashi bowl I've ever had - and we've been to Japan! Fresh fish and a mountain of food in a bowl, Totoya deserves the line that they get, and if you don't come early, you'll definitely see one! Nonetheless service was amazing and they get people in and out fairly quickly. Seating is limited, so be wary if you have a big group. They also have a fish egg bomb as an add on, and the experience for it is so fun! Highly recommend, especially if you're in Oahu :) read more

I literally felt like I was transported back to Japan! This was so yummy! This place was just across the street from the mall so was very convenient for us after some light shopping. There was a bit of a wait as there are only 8 seats available. But once seated, you get your food fairly quickly. Food was so fresh and delicious. I'm not a huge fan of ikura but it was so fresh and not at all fishy. Service was also great. 10/10 would definitely come again! read more

Totoya - Japanese Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The hype is real, Totoya is incredible. Yes, the place is small and there's usually a line, but it's 100% worth it. I went on a Monday about an hour before closing and got lucky with no line. Honestly... it ended up being one of my favorite meals on the island. If you like raw seafood, you're going to love this place. I ordered the Fukuju, which is basically a little bit of everything: tuna, negitoro, red shrimp, salmon, scallops, sea urchin, salmon roe, tobiko, snow crab, and nori over white rice. It also comes with miso soup (I stuck with the original, but there are upgrades) and I had a hot green tea on the side. It was the perfect meal... So fresh!!! A few things to know: parking is very limited, so plan ahead. They don't take reservations, and because it's such a small spot (maybe around 8 seats), there's almost always a wait. I believe they have other locations too, so that could be a good option if this one is packed. Can't wait to go back. read more

We had such a nice experience here. The staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely a nice experience if you can't go to Japan. The fish was fresh and soy egg yolk is a must. I enjoyed the ability to make a couple of hand rolls and just enjoy the high quality fish and rice. It wasn't too busy so we did not experience any wait times. read more

Tried Totoya and it was just okay. There was a line outside even though we were told no wait over the phone, which made it feel like hype. Seating was unorganized. They wouldn't seat us because a group of 8 ahead of us was waiting to be seated together, even though there were 2 open seats that stayed empty for a long time. Food was average. Pretty standard sushi bowls with nothing that stood out in this price range. Not bad, but not worth going out of the way for. read more

Just like a shop in Japan with a homey vibe. Delicious, fresh quality fish with beautiful sashimi pieces, Uni, and also roe! There are options to upgrade your soup. Make sure you ask for the sauce as it will change your dish! They are often crowded and a line will form outside. It is worth the wait. Counter seating only! read more

came 30 minutes before they opened on a friday morning and were the first ones in line. others didn't start showing up till maybe 10-15 minutes before opening, but even after full house, others maybe waited 20-30 minutes at most for a seat. we ordered as soon as we got sat and food came out so quick! as pretty as it looked, everything tasted just as good! i'd definitely recommend getting their negitoro bowls over their kaisen bowls but regardless everything was still very fresh and delicious. even adding in the sesame seeds, yuzu pickled ginger, and yuzu miso dressing gave everything a different profile and still tasted amazing. service was so sweet and really brought you back to japan. the establishment is a bit on the smaller side so seats and space are limited but it's a great casual spot for lunch or dinner. read more

I love Totoya so much!!! It's pretty much always my first stop after I land. The service is amazing, everyone who works there is so sweet. It's a super small spot with only bar seating, but worth the wait if you go during peak hours. I'm glad they opened a third location in Aiea now! The Nishiki bowl is my go-to. If you're a fan of uni, definitely get the Fukuju bowl. I always leave full and happy. Plus it's right across from Ala Moana, so you can walk it off after or swing by Foodland and grab some poke for later They also have a stamp card! So if you're going often like me, make sure to get one before you leave. read more

It's a small counter with limited space so be prepared to wait in line. Since there was two of us, the wait was not as long as anticipated (15-20 mins). Everything you need in terms of utencils and condiments are right in front of you. Had the negitori bowl and it was quickly prepared with fresh ingredients. They only give you a few pieces of seaweed and will charge you more if you need more. Solid spot with friendly and good service. If it's hot outside, be prepared to wait in the hot sun outside. read more

Went here with the wife on a Monday lunch time. Instead of trying to find a parking we did some shopping at Ala Moana then walked over. We were lucky when we got there to get seated right away. There were 2 other couples in at the time. The restaurant is very nice on the inside and very comfortable vibe. The wife had the negitoro bowl and I had the kaisen bowl. The wife had an egg on the side. She had the crab miso and I had the salmon miso. We both ordered a cup of tea. The order came up quickly and all the items were fresh. My wife who normally won't have the egg said it was quite good with no after taste. When it comes to seafood and sushi I am a tough grader. I've been fortunate to try some very good places and have visited Japan many times. I felt that for what I paid ($100+ with tip) it didn't quite meet up to my standard. If I could I would have given it a 3.5. Would I go again, probably not but like my wife always says, "good to try". read more

Itadakimasu! (いただきます!) I've been eyeing the luscious, fresh negitoro don ネギトロ丼 and kaisen don 海鮮丼 from Totoya Kaimukī, which I've been seeing online since it opened in late 2024, but I keep missing going there because they've always been so crowded, and we didn't want to wait in line. However, as luck would have it, this popular restaurant recently expanded to the Ala Moana neighborhood, so we made a point of stopping by after our exercise session. As we approached the restaurant, a couple was waiting at the doorway, and we worried we wouldn't be seated right away. When we peeked into the restaurant, we saw just one other couple already seated at the counter, and followed the couple at the door in. We were surprised to get in at a non-busy time, and the cheerful female server provided us with menus while asking whether we wanted any hot or cold beverages in addition to the pitchers of water on the counter. I was ready to order a negitorodon, but my husband wasn't, so she allowed me more time to scan the restaurant and its posters. If you're wondering what a negitoro don ネギトロ丼 is, the best way I can describe it is "minced or scraped raw fatty tuna on rice." It is a deceptively simple dish, but it is luxurious-tasting because of its main ingredient: raw fatty tuna. The raw fatty tuna is scraped from the skin and bones, unseasoned, and doesn't contain minced vegetables, but its preparation is similar to that of fish tartare. The raw tuna is usually topped with minced green onions for textural contrast. This raw tuna sits atop rice. Food: -"Matsu" Negitoro don: the "Matsu" bowl is a combination of the OG negitorodon, which has the followingingredients: tuna, scallops, cucumber, kazunoko, tobiko, green onions, sesame seeds, and 2 pieces of nori + sea urchin + salmon roe. I think because the negitoro was creamy and somewhat mushy, the rice also seemed mushy to me, too. I ordered the raw egg yolk + shoyu ($1.50) to mix and drizzle over my dish, but thinkingabout it, the rice bowl didn't need it, and the yolk + shoyu mixture made the rice even mushier. Still, the fresh, clean-tasting seafood could shine. Our server recommended the miso soup of the day (salmon) for an additional $2.90, which tasted stellar! $34.95 -"Fukuju" Kaisen don: the Fukuju rice bowl's ingredients were what I'd call "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" as it contained: sliced raw tuna, salmon, scallops, lobes of sea urchin, whole red shrimp, salmon roe, Snow crab, tobiko, OG negitoro, seaweed salad, and 2 pieces of nori. This bowl was a combination of a negitoro don and chirashizushi, though not as festively presented as chirashizushi usually is. My husband also added yolk + shoyu for $1.50, but agreed that the mixture made the rice feel mushy. $39.50 Still, it was a lot of food, and we left feeling like a good coma coming on, and were happy to have eaten these rice bowls after working out. Next time, we won't upgrade with yolk + shoyu and will rather consider adding the "Ikura Shower." read more

On Valentine's Day, we came here an hour before opening, to stand in line, and we were the first ones (fyi it only seats 10 people max). It wasn't necessary, but we wanted to secure our spot at this restaurant for sure. I got the Take Negitoro Bowl plus the Ikura Shower (I recommend this if you're an ikura lover - it's fresh and the marinade was perfect), and my husband got the Maguro Lover, which he loved. Btw, the Ikura Shower comes with a special presentation from the workers with a song! So fun and this spot is the jam. I also ordered the miso soup and salad on the side - you can skip the salad. read more

Finally got to try Totoya. Walked in on a Tuesday and got seated right away. I ordered the standard negitoro bowl with just the regular miso soup and the shoyu egg (a must). It's so fresh! It's a great portion. And I love all of the condiments at the table. There are instructions on how to eat the negitoro bowl, which is welcome for first-timers. Next time I'll get something with ikura or amaebi. They were out of the ebi that day, so I decided against it. I'd say it's definitely worth it, but not sure about if there's a line out the door. Small parking lot in the back, enter from Waimanu street side. 1st hour free. read more

This place is like a touch of real Japan. The bowls came out fast and very fresh. It's quite pricey per bowl but I think it's very worth it. There was no line on a Monday at lunch time so we got lucky. The parking lot in the back is super small so you can try to park at Ala Moana Mall and cross the street instead. The store is very small with only about 12 seats total. I can see how there can be a long line if you go during peak hours. If you love raw fish, this place is definitely for you. read more

My friend and I went to the Kapahulu location when they first opened and loved it, so it was only right that we visited the Ala Moana location. We couldn't find any parking in the lot behind or street parking so we ended up parking across the street. So just be prepared that parking can be a little hard to find. When we got to the restaurant there were about 6-7 people ahead of but the line seemed to move fairly fast. The waitress came out to take our order ahead of time to speed up the process when we actually got seated. She was also super nice and was able to accommodate me and take out the scallops and add a piece of salmon because I sometimes have a slight reaction to raw scallops. We sat down, and our food came not even 5 mins after. There is yuzu ginger on the table which I absolutely loveee. I ordered the Nishiki and my friend ordered the Ume. I love that all sets come with miso soup (you can upgrade for an additional charge) and I always get their salad because the dressing is so yummy! Every single bite is like heaven. So fresh and so flavorful. This time I didn't get the shoyu egg but you can also add that for an additional charge. The restaurant is still very new so the inside is very clean. I want to say there's about 10 seats. And there's a bathroom in the middle of the counter tops. Reminds me of Japan. All the staff are super nice and friendly. Definitely want to come back again soon! read more

I didn't know what the hype of negitoro bowls were but boy was this delicious!! It's a small bar seating area with maybe about 12 seats so expect a wait especially if you're coming around lunch or dinner rush hour. We came around 1pm on a Monday and luckily only had to wait around 5-7 mins. We ordered the matsu negitoro bowl and the nishiki kaisen bowl. We were sure what the difference was but the kaisen bowl just basically includes sashimi cuts. It still comes with negitoro so my recommendation would be to just stick to the negitoro since that's what they're most popular for. The seafood was super fresh - it melts on your mouth. One thing to comment on was I think the owner? The guy was in charge of serving miso soup and we sat directly in front where we saw him plate the soup and the bowls. The hand he was using to hold the bowl wasn't wearing gloves and his thumb was on the inner side of the bowl. I was looking and he was doing and touching other stuff. Just hope this isn't a daily occurrence and he washes his hands but it was a little icky to see. Besides that, really good portions! I would stick to either ume, take or matsu. Other upgrades didn't seem as valuable to me or too much of an upcharge. You could get the other options and still taste the quality. read more

The Take + Original Miso + Shoyu Egg (MUST) Ordered The Take (negitoro + salmon roe) with original miso soup -- and here's the move: You HAVE to order the shoyu egg on the side. First off, the service was spot on. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted right away. It felt welcoming and genuine, which immediately set the tone for the meal. The negitoro is rich and buttery, super fresh with that clean tuna flavor. The salmon roe adds that perfect pop of briny sweetness that balances the fattiness beautifully. Once you mix the egg yolk shoyu and drizzle it over the bowl? Game changer. It adds this silky, umami depth that ties everything together. Creamy tuna + popping ikura + seasoned yolk = unreal. And don't skip the nori wraps -- scooping the negitoro and rice into the seaweed adds the perfect crunch. The original miso soup keeps it classic and comforting. Simple, savory, and pairs perfectly with the richness of the bowl. Pro tip: * Grind the sesame * Mix the egg yolk shoyu * First bite plain * Then wrap with nori This is how you do it. If you're ordering here -- The Take + shoyu egg is the move. No debate. read more

Delicious negitoro! This spot is small and cozy--about 12 seats total, bar-style seating. We arrived around 11:45am and waited about 5 minutes for a table for two, which wasn't bad at all. The staff was friendly and took our order quickly. The food did take a little time to come out, but it was 100% worth the wait. I ordered the Matsu and it was packed with flavor. My wife got one of the kaisen bowls, but honestly, I think the negitoro bowls are the real standout here. Each entrée comes with miso soup, which was a nice bonus. Pro tip: add a few dashes of the yuzu seasoning--it really makes the flavors pop. Would absolutely come back, though it is a bit pricey. read more

Service was great. We were greeted upon as soon as we walked in. We came on a Monday around 1:30ish and there was no lines. We were seated right away. There's very limited seating (12 seats in all), so if you have a large party, it might be harder to get a seat. It's all bar seating only. You can't go wrong with any of the Negitoro Bowls. Definitely not a place for people who don't like to eat raw fish or are vegetarians and vegans. For our toddler, we gave her the half size udon noodles, which was a perfect portion for her. Depending on which bowl you choose, you get a specific amount and variety of fish. The miso soup was very flavorful. Everything tasted great! I have nothing bad to say at all. They have water and condiments at the table, so you can just refill on your own. They had a child seat, which perfectly fit our toddler. This was our first time here and won't be our last. read more

WORTH EVERY PENNY! We visited a few days ago, and decided to try this place out because it reminded us of bowls in Japan. We arrived there 15-20mim before opening, and there was a line already. They have limited seating, but once in everything happens fast. They quickly took our order and went straight to fixing our bowls. We ordered extra uni in our bowls. My uni fell off the top, and they took it back to fix it. Talk about great service! For the price paid, we were super shocked on how much fish they give you. You really get your money's worth! I was so impressed with everything! Definitely a must try in the area! read more

We started lining up 15mins before opening for lunch and were the second group in line. They started taking orders before opening, and we were seated immediately at 11am. The food came out within 10mins. The tokujo and fukuju were both fresh and delicious. I added the ikura shower, and the servers sang while pouring the ikura into my bowl. The crab miso soup was great, and the salad was simple but really good. I also added the egg yolk shoyu which I mixed and poured into the bowl. It was really good with the rice, fish, and seaweed. Service was very friendly and fast. It's a small spot and there was a long line by the time we finished, so I recommend lining up at least 10mins before opening. read more

First time here at the Piikoi/Ala Moana location but have been to the Kaimuki location a lot. Just as good as the Kaimuki location. I wanna say both locations are about the same size in terms of seating/layout. I parked at Ala Moana and just walked across the street but there are a few metered stalls right in front and apparently there's paid parking behind the building somewhere. Service was attentive when you needed it and the staff is always so helpful in explaining the different menu items. This is the spot for Negitoro bowls on Oahu. Compares well to the quality you would get in Japan. Obviously on the pricier side but well worth the price if you ask me. Pro tip: Always add-on the shoyu egg! read more

Pro tip: get here right at open or even before open. The line for Totoya gets very long especially since they only have about 12-15 seats inside. When we got here exactly at 11, there was no wait. By the time we left, there was a line of about 30 people. The food was very yummy and extremely fresh. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. You do pay a premium price, but it is worth it!! Definitely get something with ikura and the ama ebi. Delish!! read more

Big fan and the food was delicious. Space sits about 12 or so people (all facing a counter). They don't take reservations, so get there RIGHT when they open. We got there at 5:06PM, and they already filled up, so we had to wait outside. Luckily it does move pretty quickly, and they will come outside to take your order if you're waiting, so when you go inside the food is basically ready. Pro tip: scan the QR code to take a quick survey and they'll give you another nori order (4 pieces) or egg. I added the ikura shower and that was worth it. They sing in celebration when that happens and physically shower your bowl with ikura! It's a bit pricey, but I thought we all got the value of our fish. The negitoro was pretty fatty. So next time I'd order something else. read more

Finally came here! It was Saturday afternoon, around 1:30pm. Only 1 family ahead of us. We waited like 30min. They took order when we were waiting. Inside is very clean and small. I think there is only 15 seats by counter. Foods came like 10min. We ordered negitro don "Matsu", kaisen don "Nishiki" and "Fukuju". We can choose miso soup. shrimp or crab or regular miso soup. Also there is egg York shoyu. Foods are so good and fresh. Uni tastes good and Amaebi was sooo delish! I asked them where those Ikura came from. They said they didn't know. Sometimes from Japan, sometimes not. I rate 4 star because I heard some conversations from 2 person who were working at the counter in Japanese. Little bit annoyed to hear.

I ordered the Fukuju bowl while my husband had the Tokujo bowl--both were incredibly fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The egg yolk shoyu is a must-add and takes the bowls to the next level. Our daughters loved their meals as well--udon and shrimp miso soup. In fact, my youngest enjoyed the shrimp miso so much that she was slurping it down so quickly she ended up spilling it on herself--that's how good it was! The team was attentive, warm, and welcoming, and the bar setting of this restaurant was so fun. Both made the experience even better. We loved our lunch here and will definitely be back. read more

This place came highly recommended by a friend who recently visited Hawaii, and came to eat here TWICE! I made this my first stop for lunch after we landed and it did not disappoint. It's a small restaurant, with counter seating only, but we got really lucky with our group of five and just beat the lunch crowd. For my first time, I wanted to maximize the meal so I got the highest Uni toro bowl with ikura and opted for the shrimp head miso soup.

At laaaaast! Finally got to try Totoya I've been too impatient to try the Kaimuki location, so I was ecstatic to hear they opened a second location near my office. This location is across the old Nijia store. It's a cozy small spot that seats 12 with a small parking lot on the side. Yelp BFF and I patiently waited outside for about 15 minutes. We got the negitoro take and rainbow trio bowl with a side of shoyu egg. Each order comes with miso soup (upgrade available). There's also yuzu pickled ginger and instructions on the side. The rainbow trio bowl is similar to a chirashi don. There's salmon, scallop and both ikura and tobiko! I got the seaweed miso to go with my bowl. Yelp BFF got the Take, which comes with negitoro and ikura and ordered the same miso soup. The instructions read: 1. grind sesame seeds all over 2. mix and drizzle egg yolk shoyu on top 3. take your first bite 4. wrap your negitoro and rice in some nori Optional - add yuzu shichimi powder into your miso soup for a bright change Regardless of what bowl you order, GET THE SHOYU EGG! It adds another layer of umami to the meal. Our meals arrived fairly quickly. The rice was well seasoned and dare I say a little moist. The fresh seafood melted in your mouth. Definitely need to go back and try more menu items. Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next! read more

Definitely worth checking out. It has a bit of a hole-in-the-wall feel--cozy, with limited seating--but they run things really efficiently. They'll take your order while you're waiting outside, so by the time you sit down, your food comes out pretty quickly. If you go on a weekday afternoon, you might have a short wait. We went on a Tuesday and waited about 15 minutes with just a couple people ahead of us. It actually worked out well since it gave us time to look through the menu without feeling rushed. One thing that was surprisingly helpful--they do have a bathroom, which you might not expect given how small the space is. Parking wasn't super clear to us, so we ended up parking at Ala Moana and walking a couple blocks, which was easy enough. If you're an ikura fan, the ikura shower is a must-try.

Love this place so much and definitely recommend trying this spot if you have time. The quality is amazing and very comparable to what you would get in Japan. My entire party ordered the Matsu with the egg yolk shoyu on the side. Upon pouring in the egg yolk shoyu, I'm not sure that I really tasted it very much or at all. Would recommend using it as a dip if you want to taste it more but I may pass on it next time. The restaurant is small so there will likely be a wait if you go around busy times but it seems like they are very efficient and are able to get customers in and out very quickly. read more

Best meal I had during my visit to Honolulu. We decided on this location because it was nearby Ala Moana Center where we were shopping. We 10 minutes before 5pm (their opening) and we were 2nd in line. We both got their popular Fukuju bowl. It includes negitoro, tuna, red shrimp, slamon, scallops, uni, salmon roe, snow crab, tobiko, and 2 peices of nori. We also got the shoyu egg which is additonal $ but well worth it. The bowl was absolutely amazing. Not a single bad item in the bowl. Everything was fresh and delicious. Each bowl comes with your choice of miso broth which was also really good. We both killed all of it. I do have to say I wish the portion was a little bigger but for the price it was right. We paid a little over $100 for two people. The service was excellent and food came out pretty quick. They were really nice and answered all our questions. The restaurant itself is small and probably fits about 15 people at a time. There is only bar seating and there was a small line when we left that Friday night. read more
