We were eager to try the dinner here since mom's friend comes here every week. In addition to omakase, you can also get entrees which are served à la carte. The menu covers all the bases you'd hope for on a Japanese menu including sushi, Wagyu, tempura, and even ramen and tonkatsu. I started with the Vegetable Garden, a colorful assortment of vegetables and potatoes with a trio of delicious dressings including my absolute fave, Mentaiko and mayo! Shared a Miso Marinated Black Cod that comes with 2 pieces. However you must order rice separately. One of the best I've had! The All About Salmon nigiri was a nice little medley of 5 different kinds of salmon: cured, belly, seared, tartare, and ikura. Each piece was delicious and two were cured with beet juice which added a beautiful red tinge. If you like salmon, you will love this as long as you don't have a big appetite! Bro got the Hau'oli Omakase $120 attractively plated tidbits of goodies including sushi, tempura, chawanmushi, etc... The I Love Sushi junmai sake was a perfect pairing with the sushi and very easy to drink! You get to select your own sake glass too. There is an impressive list of sake and wines that even go into the $1k range! Our server, Aya, was sweet and friendly but food was a bit slow to come out since they were busy on a Tuesday night and only had one sushi chef. This is a good place to come for leisurely dining where you can eat off of beautiful dishes!

I've been to Yohei many times over the years so when I heard they were opening up in Kahala, I was excited. It's much closer to home and parking in the private lot is much better than their original location. Yohei Sushi Kahala is an upscale restaurant from the original location as a heads up. A nice upgrade that is well deserved for the owners. Menu has changed a bit since they opened. The best part of the menu is there's photos of the menu items to help you decide. Customer service is attentive and what you would expect at a Japanese restaurant. The fish is fresh and the sake washes sushi down. Their daily or monthly specials are not to be overlooked. We do wish there were more cooked items for Mink to order but overall a good addition to the Kahala area.

Cute modern ambience. The service is amazing. Quality of food is excellent. Reminds me of Japan and missing Japan so much.

Determined to make a memorable first actual omakase experience for my parents, I did some heavy research and landed on Yohei Sushi - Kahala. Service - Immaculate. Our waitress was very kind and hospitable. She explained each part of the omakase thoroughly and ensured we were taken care of throughout our experience. 5/5 Food - Each course was a delight to consume. The kazunoko was a light, refreshing start, and the ankimo was a pleasant surprise. I doubt I'd tried that at many other places for obvious reasons. The cod milt chawanmushi was... interesting? Not bad by any means. The salad was light and fresh. The tempura was excellent; no greasiness whatsoever. The nigiri selection was very impressive. By far, some of the best fish I've had outside of Japan. It stands up to Takenoko (Hilo) and Sushi Jin (Mountain View, CA), and I thought the pieces were generous. Note: I opted for the extra 3 pieces (10 instead of 7) for $20 more, and it was 100% worth it. The red miso soup and yuzu sorbet were a great way to end a memorable omakase experience! 5/5 Value - At $120 per person, this omakase is definitely worth a try. You get 6 unique courses, including phenomenal sushi courses, for a total of 7 courses! I'd definitely come back and am considering trying their 16-course omakase! 5/5 Overall, from the quiet, calm ambience to excellent service to fantastic food, Yohei Sushi - Kahala is a fine choice for those looking for a "classier" dinner option. This place has definitely landed in my top 10 places to eat in Hawaii, and I'll definitely be returning in the future! 5/5

Sashimi Lunch Set and Chirashi Lunch Set
AJ L.

Visited Yohei Sushi for lunch on a Sunday to celebrate my sisters birthday. We had a reservation for 1pm. I got there a little earlier and they let me know before being sat that they close at 2pm. While ordering our drinks we were reminded again that they close at 2pm so we ordered our food at the same time feeling rushed. The Sashimi Zen and Chirashi Zen tasted beautifully. We enjoyed the quality of fish and variety available. As we were eating the waitresses would come by and take any empty dishes from our sets while reminding us again, that they close at 2pm. It felt really rushed and unwelcoming. Before we could finish eating they dropped the bill off to our table and checked to see if they could take payment within less than a couple minutes. The waitress then came back with a bag for us to take the sake home. We quickly finished our meal and I paid cash so we could just leave at this point. They were so quick to rush us out that while we were standing outside the restaurant the waitress came outside to let me know she didn't put everything she needed to charge us for on the bill so I needed to come back inside to pay an additional amount. After paying a second time she gave something to my sister for her birthday and sent us on our way. Considering there were other parties still seated in the restaurant when we left and they were aware of us celebrating a birthday I feel pretty disappointed about our experience there. We weren't offered an option to order dessert and they were in such a rush to get us to leave they didn't even have the bill rung up correctly. The food was great but we can get better service for the same quality elsewhere.

We visited Yohei Sushi in Kahala area. I believe this is a branch from Yohei in Dillingham side. This restaurant is located across the Kahala mall, they have plenty of parking. It was lunch time on a Sunday, the place was not crowded at all. When we enter the restaurant, immediately I can sense this is a high-quality Japanese restaurant, the interior design is nice and elegant, the staffs are nice with great smile. We were offered the lunch special menu and there are a lot of choices for set lunch. (We did not know we could also order from the regular menu because the staff did not hand us the regular menu). This place is more expensive than most regular Japanese restaurant. However, you get what you paid for. The set lunch we ordered included pickles, noodles, potato salad, miso soup, chawanmushi, etc. I ordered the B1 Nigiri zen, 10 pieces of sushi for $68, my wife ordered the B4 Nigiri and tempura zen for $58. Everything was nice and fresh, the bowls, the plates, every item was nice and high quality. At the end of the dinner, they do not serve ice cream, instead, they serve either coffee or tea, which is very unusual. However, my wife said the coffee was good! Not just a simple house coffee. Another subject I want to talk about is their toilet. YES, toilet, they have in my opinion the best, clean, well-designed toilet I have been to any Japanese restaurant. Toto fully automatic toilet. They also provided mouth wash, cups, Q-tips, etc. They also have private room that is very nice. Overall, we had a very pleasant lunch experience, $150 for a lunch is not we usually spend but I can see myself coming back to try other items in the future.

We are back here again. The food is delicious. Hubby got the nigiri & tempura zen. I got the salmon teriyaki. Both were delicious. Service is excellent. Comfortable seats with pillows. We will definitely be back here.

Unagi roll, tempura, scallop nigiri, medium fatty belly nigiri.
Risa L.

Came here for the ala carte sushi/izakaya offerings. The food, service, and atmosphere were splendid! The ikura, scallop, and medium fatty belly nigiri were melt in your mouth divine (insert happy dance). The fish to rice ratio and 1 bite to mouth ratio was perfect. The nigiri were well formed with just a hint of wasabi and held up well to a light dunking in soy sauce. The karaage chicken was delicately battered and moist/juicy inside. Tempura was similar in fry and not very oily. The unagi roll was also tasty, but less so as compared to the outstanding simple but well executed flavors of the other dishes. The main dining area is in a separate section from the omakase dining experience. The main dining area is cozy but very peaceful and somewhat majestic. There's also a Toto bidet in the wash room! Lots of parking at Kuono Marketplace, but does get crowded around dinner rush. Prices were reasonable for the quality and experience all around.

Nat N.

This location is a different concept from its original location in Kalihi. It's more upscale and more formal. The prices are also higher but justified by the high level of service and quality of the food. I really liked how the Keiki menu has combos or you can order à la carte. We enjoyed the nigiri sushi, tempura, and salmon roll. Our first drink was complementary because we were celebrating our anniversary. This is a great place to celebrate a special occasion.

At Yohei Sushi Kahala, you will enjoy the food with your eyes just as much as your mouth. This restaurant promises a treat for both. I gravitate to the shops at Kahala MKT scene for two huge "townie" advantages: ample parking and a convenient location right off the H1 freeway (both west and east bound). The decor is modern zen. At lunch hour, tranquil music and earth accent pillows contribute to the peaceful ambience. At dinner time, the restaurant transforms into a bustling but fluid operation. Service is exceptional at both times. Patrons are a shake-up of locals and Japanese nationals. Any omakase should be reserved at least 3 days in advance. Otherwise, their lunch sets and a la carte dinner items are equally satisfying. I was fortunate enough to experience both lunch and dinner service one day apart with two different groups of friends. No matter what you choose, the sushi will not disappoint. The service, quality, and food presentation reflect the price point. Expect to spend at least $100 per person including tip. The Tracy List: -Seared Salmon Roll with ikura, caviar and spicy mayo -Kona Kampachi Carpaccio appetizer with jalapeño ponzu -Miso marinated kurobuta pork chop with Hawaiian honey -Soufflé cheesecake with mixed berry sauce (if you like matcha, treat yourself to the matcha brownie with azuki ice cream)

When the restaurant finally opened, the staff did not ask who had reservations or make any distinction between guests with reservations and walk-ins. Everyone was simply seated in the order they entered. This left me wondering what the point of making a reservation was if it did not provide any clear benefit or priority. I hope the restaurant can improve its check-in process and communicate more clearly with guests who have reservations, so everyone can enjoy a smoother and more organized dining experience.

This was her final opportunity to gather my feedback and acknowledge my untouched plate, but she missed the opportunity. The ambiance is nice, trendy, and kinda elegant. It's definitely not what you'd expect from the exterior, but it was a nice surprise. Overall, this is a pricy place with friendly staff and an impressive ambiance; however, the food is not noteworthy and definitely not worth the price. Don't get the pork bolognese bianco!

This review is a consolidation of the past like 4-5 times I've came. Last few times I ordered: - Taro Puffs: One of my absolute favorites. I just wish sometimes it was a bit more fresh/hot. Most of the times it comes out just luke warm, which makes it taste more greasy. - Lotus Leaf Sticky Rice always comes out pipping out. Rice is plump and sticky. The filling is flavorful. I don't care for the lup chup but most don't mind. - Chicken Feet: usually good, there was a few misses. Maybe we came too early but the chicken feet wasn't as soft and cooked through as usual. - Look fun rolls: soft, bouncy and so delicious with soy sauce. - Fried shrimp balls: crowd favorite, it is simple and never misses - Sui Mai: also another crowd pleaser, a classic dimsum dish. - Seafood Roll: has seafood, meat, and veggies within. It is quite salty though, like almost a bit too salty. Also it's outer texture can be considered as "slimy" which may push some folks away. - Beef Ball: It is very QQ, however, it has a very distinctive flavor. Very cilantro heavy, - Pan-fried seafood dumpling: it has shrimp and chives within. Crispy and the skin is bouncy, another crowd favorite. - Spring Roll: surprising hitter for me. I know spring roll is the classic dish, but I almost never order because many times it could be a disappointing oily stick. However, this one was delicious. Savory, with a crisp crunch. - Black Pepper Steak: I wouldn't exactly recommend ordering this dish. As much as it is flavorful, since the steak is cubed, some bites are just a bit too tough and chewy. Not all, but definitely some, enough to notice. - Baked Custard Bun: they almost NEVER have this, no matter the time I come. Very sad. I think I've gotten it like once, since they moved locations, it is one of my favorite baked Chinese treats. - Egg Tarts: flaky, eggy (in a good way), recommended. - Baked Char Sui Bun: Not bad, the top is crunchy and very sweet. Overall, I would heavily recommend this spot. It can sometimes be noisy, and sometimes completely empty. I would also note that the dimsum is on the pricier side compared to most of the dimsum spots on the island, especially after they moved.
