Plenty of parking was indeed a highlight of our experience at this establishment. However, the overall experience fell short in terms of food, service, and ambiance, making it challenging to recommend to friends and family. Regarding the food, the Omakase sushi priced at $29.00 seemed reasonable, but it was disappointingly made. Each piece lacked cohesion, with the rice and fish separating. The quality of the fish did not seem to justify its price. The miso soup lacked consistency and leaned towards being overly salty. The salad dressing was overly drenched, making it barely edible, and the edamame was undercooked and lacked seasoning. In terms of service, while the waiter was pleasant, their performance did not meet the standards that would justify an 18% gratuity tip. Perhaps the need for multiple water refills due to the excessively salty food contributed to this perception. As for the ambiance, there was nothing authentically Japanese or atmospherically special about the restaurant. The design felt clumsy, and the greasy floor was a significant disappointment, making the dining experience unpleasant due to chairs sliding around uncomfortably. Overall, while the ample parking was a positive aspect, the deficiencies in food quality, service, and ambiance make it difficult to recommend this establishment to others. Parking: Plenty of parking. The highlight of the experience. The food, service, and ambiance were all less than just okay. To be honest, it will be very difficult recommending friends and family to this establishment. The Food - Omakase sushi for $29.00 seems reasonable. It was clumsily made. Each piece separated (rice from the fish). The quality of the fish is reflected on its price. The miso soup lacked consistency as I felt it be a bit rich in salt. They drenched salad dressing was barely edible_only ate half. The edamame was undercooked and unseasoned. The Service - The waiter was nice enough, but did not meet any specific appreciative levels that commanded an 18% gratuity tip. Perhaps it was all the overly salty food that required him to come replenish our water intake several times during the lunch course. The Ambience - There was nothing authentic or atmospherically special that screams Japanese dining at the restaurant. It was simply clumsily designed. The biggest disappointment was how the floor was greasy, sliding the chair around. It felt unpleasantly unkept.
So you're probably not going to think this place is much, especially if you're a tourist. This looks like some random sushi place in a mall area, but don't let the location deceive you. This place was one of our favorites during our entire week in Hawaii. The quality of the sushi was amazing and the portions were generous. The price was also very reasonable and the service was great (mind you, we weren't there in peak dining hours). I would definitely come back here next time we visit Hawaii.
We are visiting Honolulu and decided to get some sushis before going to Dave and Buster. Thet had good reviews so we went. That place is amazing ! Decor is very authentic and far from all the restaurants more modern around but family style, what we like. We met the owner s husband and his suggestions were amazing. He siggested to try bluefin tuna nigiri. OmG ! That was delicious ! Best sushis we ever had ! I am so glad i found that place. I totally recommend !
