Yohei Sushi Restaurant opened in 1990 in Kalihi by founder/sushi chef Kazuto Obara and his wife who had immigrated to Hawaii from Hiroshima in the 1970's. It was his dream to open his own authentic Japanese restaurant using his special omakase experience from Japan and one of the first authentic sushi restaurants in Honolulu. It was a concept of "bringing Japan's finest to Hawaii" with a desire to "build a bridge between the two cultures of Japan and Hawaii." In 2018, operations were taken over by Testsuya Matsuda. A 2nd location was opened in Kahala in Jan 2024 by Hiroshima Mazda, whose specialty is traditional Japanese sushi (or omakase). Yohei Sushi 's menu offerings include: * Teishoku (or set meal). Comes with miso soup, rice, Japanese pickles, cold soba noodles, seasonal side dish. Main entrees are sashimi, tempura, maguro, misoyaki butterfish, ahi steak, saba. Salmon, ahi belly, katsu, and more. * Sushi Bar. With miso soup. Menu offerings are deluxe & standard assorted sushi, maguro don, Chirashi sushi. * Noodles. Choice of udon or soba with various combinations, e.g., nabeyaki, tempura, tororo, tanuki, zaru, kitsune, tori, tukimi, kake, and ojiya udon. Also, combo meals of tendon/noodle, sushi/noodle; and donburi of unaju, oyako don and ten-ju. * Side order & ala carte. Includes sashimi, chawanmushi, ika, shinkomori, murokyu, soft shell crab, miuzuku, Hiyahakko, edamame, tempura. Ahi belly katsu, misoyaki butterfish, saba, seafood tempura, maguro temprta, ahi steak, salmon. We've had the following: * Tendon and Noodle. Deep fried tempura of shrimp and assorted veggies in a rice bowl with sauce & hot udon. Very filling and tasty! * Tempura Teishoku. This teishoku had 3 large pieces of fried tempura shrimp and assorted veggies, e.g., carrot, eggplant, green beans, pumpkin, that were light and non-oily. Our teishoku meals came with pickled veggies, cold soba, rice, and miso soup with lots of wakame and radish sprouts. Very flavorful! They also offered a complimentary birthday scoop of ice cream with a dollop of an as a topping, which was refreshing and paired well! * Maguro Tempura Teishoku. Hubby's choice of fried tempura tuna set, and he noted that there were 8 large tender pieces of maguro that was lightly fried and non-oily. Very delicious and filling! * Unagi nigiri. The unagi was so flaky, tender, and light and had the right amount of sauce. Loved it! The presentation of the meals was beautifully plated with real, authentic Japanese small dish bowls and plates. The food was of good quality and very flavorful! Customer service was excellent! Diners are greeted by staff upon entering and thanked when leaving. The old-time servers were very patient, attentive, welcoming, and gracious! Our food orders came out in a timely manner, and the servers, with smiles, frequently asked if everything was okay and if we needed anything else. Hours of operation are: lunch daily from 11a to 2p, dinner from 5p to 9p, closed Wed. Happy hour is from Thurs to Tues from 1:30p to 5p. Located in Kokea Center that looks like a run-down strip mall at Dillingham Blvd and Kokea St, the restaurant interior has a great ambiance as if you were dining in Japan, as it is comfortable and welcoming. It was amazing to see almost every table was taken by dining customers. Reservations are a must, as people are turned away. Good thing I called for lunch reservations at 12:15p on a weekday, which was tha last table available. And the restaurant was packed the entire time that we were there! Free parking in the private lot shared by other businesses, as well as metered street parking. Yohei Sushi has been successful over the past years in its presentation, flavors, taste, and customer service, and we hope to return to try different menu offerings! read more

TL;DR A terrific Japanese restaurant with high-quality set courses. ----- Yohei is a quintessential Japanese restaurant in the heart of Honolulu. The food is delicious, the presentation is on point, and the service is attentive and friendly. There are many great Japanese spots in Honolulu, and Yohei is certainly one of them. During my most recent visit, I ordered the Shrimp and Maguro Tempura Teishoku. I've never had tuna tempura before, so I decided to try it. The teishoku comes with several small side dishes, the tempura, doba, rice, and miso soup. It's a solid amount of food. Everything was oishikatta, and I left the restaurant feeling full. The tempura was airy, crunchy, and cooked to perfection. The soba noodles were chewy and springy, and the side dishes nicely complimented the main courses. I enjoyed it all! There are so many Japanese options in Honolulu, but I will certainly be back to Yohei at some point. read more

Excellence in food, presentation and service without a huge price tag! The food here is always presented in multiple delicious side dishes but still comes out of the kitchen fairly quickly. The quality of each dish is fresh, delicious, and beautiful! It's honestly like being in Japan with the perfection to presentation as well as taste. The service here is always extremely welcoming, courteous and on point. I went yesterday during the storm since I hoped it would not be too busy without a reservation. It wasn't but I did get drenched. As soon as I walked in, the AC was making me chilled. The caring employee helped me select a better seat away from the AC direction, A little while later she actually brought me a jacket!!! That is true service! What a kind and thoughtful extra for customers! What I also love about this place is the prices are so reasonable to the quality. You can actually enjoy delicious dishes and sake without breaking the bank. Hands down recommend!!! Thank you to the lady who lent me a jacket. read more

Came here for a late Father's day celebration. My brother made a reservation just in case and I would recommend doing so just to guarantee you wont be waiting long, it was busy around the 1230.

What a gem! My family of 6 went to Yohei for my mom's birthday a month ago and were treated to delicious, fresh, authentic Japanese food, including a fabulous sushi bar. The menu boasts a variety of sets, noodle dishes, and an omakase option as well. The space is cozy and fits a surprisingly large amount of patrons. The tables are accessible, which was great for my grandfather and parking easy in an attached lot. We hope it be back for more sushi in the future! read more

I made reservations on OpenTable for Saturday. When we went on Saturday there's a line. Some people had reservations and lucky we had. Parking is kind of tight. Just be aware if you have a big vehicle. It was my husband first time. I've been coming here with my mom. I enjoyed my food. I got the sashimi combo meal. Comes with miso and soba noodles. My spouse got the chirashi meal. And I also order side of seafood tempura. It was delicious. Will I be back. Yes. We will be back. The place is clean and the customer services is great. They kept on refilling our water and tea. Thank you for reading and enjoy eating. read more

Went to Yohei for their lunch omakase and it was a nice low-key sushi experience. The restaurant has a very traditional Japanese feel nothing flashy, just simple and authentic. The fish tasted fresh and clean, and each piece was nicely prepared. It's the kind of place that feels like a hidden local spot rather than a trendy sushi restaurant. Perfect for a quiet lunch if you're craving a classic omakase without all the hype. Overall 9/10. Solid and satisfying. Would come back again. read more

I've been to Yohei many times with my son, friends, and clients. Chef Kawano is exceptional and truly takes care of his regular guests -- he recognizes his customers and makes the experience personal. The servers are friendly and personable, and the atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming. This is a true local Japanese sushi spot where many locals dine regularly. Highly recommended. read more

Love love love coming to Yohei! It's one of my favorite spots to come with my family to eat and talk story. I normally order their teishoku (which I highly recommend the misoyaki butterfish and unagi teishoku). Anyways, I'm glad I got their tempura-jyu because I was craving tendon! Tempura was really crispy, the sides were really good, I wish they gave more tendon sauce on the side for you to use.. Overall, Always coming back for family meetings! Also, I highly recommend making a reservation on Opentable to secure a seat! read more

Love supporting local. Especially those businesses who have been adversely affected by the ongoing rail project. Thats not the reason why this business deserves 5 stars. Its because, inspite of it all, Yohei continues to give 5 star service. Happy to see today's lunch time saw this restaurant with just about every table filled. Recommend dining with reservations. And the food? In our party of six persons, everyone ordering something different, everyone was so happy with their choices. My teishoku of sashimi and tempura was ohhh soooo good! Parking is easy and free in the strip mall parking lot. Bonus tip: With the construction going on Dillingham, best approach is from North King Street and then down Kokea Street turning directly into the parking lot. read more

I recommend NOT getting take-out from Yohei restaurant unless you want to be ripped off! We paid $27 for a tempura teishoku and got a disappointing 3 pieces of shrimp tempura, 1 egglant, 1 measly carrot, and only TWO green beans! Also to add more disappointment, there were no sides as shown in the online picture for the TAKE-OUT menu. When we called to let them know thinking they forgot to add more, the staff responded saying the take outs don't include the side dishes (pickled veggies, potato salad, bean sprouts, etc....). But when I brought up that our other take out teishokus included all, they switched it by saying only the tempura teishoku does not. Very disappointed in this place for trying to cover up their mistakes with a lousy excuse. read more

Met up with a friend for lunch here during the week, and even though I've been to this plaza countless times, this was actually my first time dining at Yohei. The food was so delicious and such a great value! Their lunch sets are fantastic, lots of variety, so there's definitely something for everyone. I went with the ahi belly teishoku, which came with soba noodles, rice, miso soup, and pickled veggies. My friend ordered the sushi teishoku with tempura, and both meals were super satisfying. Service was quick and friendly, and the "aunties" working there make you feel right at home. Definitely a spot I'll be back to when I'm visiting again! read more

WOW, had an AWESOME Lunch :)) Stopped in for the 1st time after visiting the Nisshodo Candy Store for some Mochi-kine goodies. This restaurant is in the same parking area (right around the corner kine). Had read some reviews about this long-time 30+ years in business restaurant and figured, my wonderful wife (yeah, she is) and I, should give it a try. So HAPPY we stopped in!!! It wasn't too busy which was COOL, was around 11AM. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a warm, welcoming vibe! The staff here are very kind, attentive, and very sweet!!! Even offered to answer any questions, if we had any. The Menu is "traditional" with Teishoku-Style meals. However, we came for the Sushi. My wife wasn't too hungry so she opted for just Nigiri. She ordered 2-piece Chu-Toro, Madai, Hamachi, and Uni. Me, I was hangry kine lol I ordered the Tokujo Nigiri (Deluxe Assorted Sushi) that came with an array of Fresh and ONO kine fish. I too also ordered some Nigiri on the side, 2-piece Ikura and Kohada. I LOVE Kohada, and every other Sushi restaurant we've been to on island says they don't have it or are sold out. So BONUS for me ;) lol We were also served complimentary, Tempura Ebi Heads. Was like they read my mind because I actually LOVE fried shrimp heads ;) To end our meal, we had the Green Tea Ice Cream with Azuki Beans and Mochi. Ugh, WAS SO... GOOD!!! -- My wife LOVED the Tea Cup that the Matcha was served in, and noticed they were selling them. So we purchased 1 Tea Cup. I too was very intrigued by the T-shirt that one of the Server's was wearing. I purchased the COOL T-shirt, as well. どうもありがとうございます for the AMAZING dining experience!!!!! We'll DEFINITELY be back!!! ~ Aloha nui loa read more

Came for omakase on Christmas Eve. There were so many dishes, I couldn't keep count. They had uni and all the fish was so delicate and fresh. I didn't need to add any wasabi or shoyu.

With very friendly / helpful staff, great food, and a clean but neighborly feel, Yohei Sushi is one of the best, approachable japanese restaurants in the area. While the outside of the building shows its age, the inside looks fresh and was filled with customers. Hot tea was included for all the adults. Ordered a variety of sets that included udon, sashimi, tempura, and ahi belly katsu. Everything tasted great and used quality ingredients. Balancing an authenticity to its recipes versus a small, neighborhood restaurant feel, Yohei is a must stop for anyone looking for good japanese food that is approachable and family friendly. read more

Had dinner here with my boyfriend for a date night and we both really enjoyed it. Food and service were both great! We both ordered teishoku sets so it had a main plus several little sides, miso soup, udon (they allowed my boyfriend to substitute soba) and dessert. I had the nigiri and the rice balls were the perfect size so the fish really stood out. My boyfriend ordered the unagi and he really enjoyed it as well. Unfortunately we weren't sure exactly what all the sides were but they all tasted good. If you really want to know the sides the servers didn't seem to mind answering any questions. The couple next to us were asking about certain sides they had. We also shared the medium tempura set, anago nigiri, and soft shell crab. I personally love soft shell crab and felt that they prepared it really well. Service was also great. Multiple servers would always come by to check on us or refill water/tea. Overall really great dinner and looking forward to try other stuff on the menu one day! Glad they are doing well despite the construction in the area! read more

I'm a bit surprised to have came to this place on a Wednesday, except it wasn't with the friend I usually go with once each month. It was with my family, and with someone from my mom's side of the family. I never visited Yohei Sushi, nor have heard of it, despite having passed it multiple times when I have gone to a UH game, to Lanakila Pacific, or to go out lunch with a friend. Even at times to hang out, if necessary. Somehow, I didn't think it was across from Honolulu Community College and a half block down from 7-11. The place screams Japanese, from the decor to the appearance, and it looked nice upon entering. So...as far as what I went to eat at the time, I tried one of their specials, which was the cracker chicken set, and boy did they deliver well on the presentation. I nearly thought I was gonna get full much earlier considering that I went to Jack-In-The-Box and had a Jumbo Jack and two tacos for lunch at the time after I left Lanakila Pacific. I don't really know how I managed to eat all of what I ate at the time, but somehow I got through it. The workers were pretty nice in terms of giving me and my family a good time there. All in all, the overall experience wasn't bad at all. Would I recommend coming here? I wouldn't mind coming back there again if given another opportunity. read more

Great food! Excellent friendly wait staff. It's busy so make sure you make a reservation. We love this place.

Ambiance The place felt comfortable and welcoming when you first enter. The building is always quiet, with the music being calm and hushed. Service Everyone was really nice; didn't feel pressured to order quickly or anything. They were nice to talk to. They had qr menus. Easy to find the restaurant. There was a lot of varieties for food, from sushi to noodles, as well as many teishoku options. Food All really good. I got the tekka maki, ikura nigiri, and seafood tempura. Tekka is some of my favorite sushi, and it did not disappoint. The ikura was also delicious. Everything tastes fresh and you can see them make it too. The tempura was had the perfect crunch on the outside but it was warm and flavorful in the inside. I also tried the soft shell crab, which was very flavorful. The server explained very clearly. The spicy radish in the sauce enhances the flavor. Highly recommend. read more

Yohei Sushi Restaurant, located on Dillingham Blvd, offers a variety of fresh, authentic Japanese teishoku meals and sushi dishes in a relaxed, family friendly atmosphere. It's situated in a small mall area surrounded by lots of local eateries and free parking. My favorite teacher friend treated me to our annual birthday luncheon during this peaceful Good Friday afternoon. She ordered the seafood tempura teishoku (deep fried shrimp, squid legs, crab, tuna, and scallop) and I chose the tempura teishoku ( deep fried shrimp and assorted veggies). Both complete meals included miso soup, white rice, soba, and tsukemono. For dessert, I received a complimentary scoop of green tea ice cream with azuki beans and my friend ordered the black tea Catalana. Everything was so onolicious and well prepared! With their friendly staff, clean Japanese interior, and delicious ingredients, you can be sure we will be back for more! Arigato! read more

I personally like seafood tempura more than the regular tempura. The dipping sauce works well with the tempura. There's shrimp, scallop, crab, and ahi. One of the special was chicken karaage with ahi set. The tartar sauce is home made and was very good. Service is great as always. Very clean and comfortable. read more

Yohei Sushi Stumbled upon this place in a small strip mall near Costco and were gifted with one of the most incredible dining experiences. We were seated at the sushi bar and offered two cups of hot tea by our incredibly kind hostess. As other parties entered, they were greeted warmly by the staff and it seemed to be a family-type establishment. We ordered two Teishoku sets - one seafood tempura and one sashimi + tempura. The plate had a bowl of rice (which they offered to refill at any point), delicious miso soup, cold and refreshing soba noodles, sauteed greens, and crisp japanese pickles. The tempura batter was phenomenal - it was crunchy even after cooling down towards the end of the meal. They had a wide variety of vegetables and seafood in the tempura mix, including what appeared to be a crab maki roll. The sashimi was perfect - thick slices with fish that tasted out of this world. It was also incredibly affordable for the amount of food we got - cannot wait for another meal at Yohei!! read more

Yohei Sushi Restaurant - Seasonal limited time - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Where to begin... Setting is modern, upscale, warm, and inviting. Service was impeccable, so kudos to Miyazaki-San and my waiter. Plus I've never been given a free drink before by any restaurant (not sure if this was a limited promo), but that was a pleasant surprise! I also appreciated the souvenir given to me! Food was exceptional: I especially recommend the Shrimp Tempura chef selection as it was the best tempura I've probably ever had. Likewise, I hope they consider adding the Ume Tempura as a standalone appetizer in the future (I could eat like 10 orders of that easily). Wagyu (Miyazaki A5) was pretty good too, I don't know specifically what the cut was, but it was cooked to my preference and the accompaniments were a fresh diversion from the fattiness of the Wagyu. That being said, my only gripe was that a couple of the thicker end pieces were a little bit fattier than I usually like (despite being a Wagyu connoisseur, I'm not the biggest fan of fatty parts of steaks in general - some people live for that though), but still worth a try if you've never had Wagyu (order it medium because the fat renders better imo). Overall, I'd give them a 9.8/10 and would definitely recommend them to anyone; I will also be back the next time I visit to try their Omakase! One thing I wanted to address while I am here is that I know before I came that I read some of the other reviews about prices being a little expensive, but 1) it's a restaurant in Waikiki and 2) they serve quality local and imported ingredients. You don't want to compromise on the latter especially when you're on vacation since getting food poisoning would cost you way more, but that's just my 2 cents. read more

Food is consistently great. Service is wonderful. One of my go-to sushi/Japanese teishoku place.

Decided to try Yohei last night because my bf was craving sushi. We called around 7:45pm to see if they had a table available for us & they said yes. When we got there, the restaurant was pretty packed even though they closed at 9. The restaurant itself is small, but they can fit a good amount of people. We had to wait a little for our table, but it wasn't a problem. Once we got seated, our orders were taken within 5 minutes. I must say the service was awesome & the food came out within 10 minutes. My bf & I were definitely impressed with the service! The workers were very kind & you could tell they love working there. The food was delicious as well. I had the nabeyaki udon & my bf had one of the sushi sets. Can't wait to come back here again soon! read more

Yohei Sushi, one of just a few local traditional japanese restaurants left that have been around since I was growing up. Don't let the rail construction hinder you from visiting this gem of a place on Dillingham. The service is always on point and the special made you just full and not too full where you needed to ask the rail construction people to borrow their equipment and haul you out. Since you are in the area don't forget to visit Nisshodo which is right around the corner for some fresh mochi. read more

I was invited to dinner at Yohei Sushi Restaurant for the holidays. It is located off Dillingham Blvd. in a tiny strip mall that IMO has seen better days. The restaurant is quaint and simple! What stands out for me, since I arrived before the other guests is the welcoming and gracious staff. Service is impeccable here. Everyone at the table ordered one of their set (Teishoku) meals. I ordered the Unagi Zen Yohei Special. Everyone at the table was happy with their food. I loved what I ordered, which was prepared perfectly. The food here is in my opinion excellent. They have an extensive menu, a sushi bar and also serve alcohol. I heard from friends they are opening another branch in the Ku'ono Marketplace across Kahala Mall. Looking forward to dining at their new location. Highly recommend! Posting a photo of my meal. read more

Yohei Sushi Restaurant - Sashimi and tempura teishoku. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It's been a few years since I've been back here. I used to bring my mom here at least twice a month to eat sushi, it was one of her favorite places for sushi. She passed away some years back and since I had a visitor who wanted good sushi I made reservations for lunch on a Monday. I wondered if the ownership changed because there were a few differences from the Yohei I remembered. We both ordered soba sushi combinations. I opted for the cold soba and I was so disappointed. The key to good soba is to obtain the perfect doneness of the noodle. There needs to be an al dente chewiness to the soba. Sadly, my noodles were overcooked and soft, and the tsuyu (dipping sauce) was too dilute for my preference. The sushi came with excellent quality fish but it was the smallest sushi I've seen, pretty disappointing. My lunch guest was from Sacramento and she said that she enjoyed her meal, but I don't know if she really knows what good sushi and soba are supposed to be like. I used to really like eating sushi here and probably won't be back because there are a ton of good restaurants to choose from. read more

I have not been to Yohei in years and couldn't wait to go again. We had a decent sized party so I had called the restaurant to make reservations. The person who answered the phone was friendly and quite pleasant to talk to. I received confirmation via text and it was displayed on my open table app. We went for lunch and it was a bit crowded, however we did not have to wait since our table was ready. I ordered the misoyaki butterfish teishoku and a chawanmushi. When I got my food, presentation was on point. It was on a tray with small little dishes. The portion size was great...a nice sized misoyaki butterfish. The teishoku came with rice, miso soup, tsukemono and soba. All I can say is, I savored every bite. Everything was delicious. The chawanmushi was hot and had a good flavor to it. The butterfish had just enough miso and the fish was soft and delicious. For dessert, I decided to get the shiratama. It comes with either vanilla or green tea ice cream, mochi balls, homemade azuki, with kinako and brown sugar syrup drizzled on top. I got mines with green tea ice cream. The homemade azuki was exceptional. Not too sweet and just the right texture. I definitely enjoyed everything that I had. Service was good too. Everyone was so nice and exemplified great customer service. read more

Damn, where do I begin? I come to this place twice a month mainly for their seafood tempura, which consists of crab meat, shrimp, scallops, and occasional green beans. The seafood tempura I usually order comes in a set with some traditional Japanese side dishes and cold soba noodles. I also like to order the otoro and shrimp on the side. The servers are old Japanese ladies who will often come around and refill your cha or water. They are extremely friendly and most of the time tentative when the place is not busy. It is best to call and make a reservation because the place gets real busy at certain times. This place is a must try for those who enjoy a somewhat traditional Japanese restaurant that serves fresh seafood. Enjoy! read more
