You won't be disappointed at all!' This has to be the tastiest fresh poke bowl ever! I wish there were more options for lunch, but if I ever want ahi and salmon poke this is the spot! Had the salmon ginger and yuzu pepper shoyu ahi. Mixed and made fresh to order with perfect seasoning toppings. The restaurant is very cutely decorated too. Service was fast and friendly - it's Japanese! read more

22Kailua - Freshest ahi - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

I was so looking forward to going there, seeing how highly rated appears, but my husband and I were sadly disappointed. Small portions, small selection, poke with tendons, insufficient flavor and toppings, then served in a takeout container in a sit-down restaurant, all combined to make it a less-than stellar experience. read more

The BESTTT omakase I've had both in the US and Japan hands down. For $135 you get about 16 courses and it is worth every penny. Make sure to make reservations. Each course was made with so much intention, care, and tasted absolutely divine. So fresh with lots of ingredients sourced directly from Japan. We also had the opportunity to speak with the chef who lived in Shinjuku for most of his life and is the real deal. Him and his wife are both so so sweet. I will be recommending this to all our friends. The interior is also adorable. We loved our experience here so much and can't wait to come back next time!! We definitely felt full afterwards. Also remember to BYOB read more

I always wanted to eat here for dinner but I found out they are open for lunch! This 'hidden' restaurant is in the same center as Cinnamon's and Manoa chocolate, on the street side (opposite side) of the center. Its just one door, so you have to kinda look for it. I went inside and there was just one employee. Lunch is just poke bowls, and you can either dine in or take out...and I chose to dine in. I ordered the bowl with green onion, ginger and shoyu sauce. It had 7oz of fresh ahi and sushi rice on it. It was really delicious and came with extra toppings like bubu arare. Made to order with fresh ingredients, it had nice flavors and great texture. There were a few bummers about my experience. Apparently, whether you dine in or take out, they serve you in a take out container. Kinda blows the experience when you are sitting in a nice restaurant at a sushi bar. Also, my poke bowl was $20.00. Now here in the islands, that is the average going price for lunch...but it didnt feel like an outstanding value for what was received. Overall, the poke bowl was good and I will be back try the dinner for sure. read more

Quaint little shop located in Kailua. Do make reservations beforehand as they can only accommodate just about 12 people at the most. They're also open for lunch if you're looking for a more casual/take-out dining experience. Overall, the food is superb. Fresh, quality, flavorful. There wasn't a dish that I didn't like. It may seem like a little bit of food when you first start off the omakase experience, but each course adds up and before you know it, you're just about full at dessert; not overly stuffed. The service is also top-notch, to which they provide much care and consideration when serving. Would definitely come back again! read more

Probably one of the coolest hidden gems I've found in Kailua town so far. It's definitely a challenge to find it, but once you do, you won't be sorry. It's quaint and tiny inside but it's beautiful and the food smells so good. It's cooked directly in front of you and cooked to absolute perfection. There is only a handful of seats at the bar to sit at so reservations are recommended if coming at a busy hour. If coming at night for Omakase, you must make a reservation. The food was SUPERB. 10/10 read more

Ample free parking space since it's located in a commercial area. Easy to find despite the subtle restaurant front. There's only about 8-12 seats per reservation time. We got lucky for our anniversary on Halloween night because we were their only guests for the 8:00pm reservation. It is ran by a husband and wife duo. BYOB and we brought sake from the Sake Shop in Kakaako. They let us pick our own cup too. Don't forget to offer him and his wife a shot of sake as well! We got started eating almost immediately. The time in between dishes was good enough for us to drink, talk stories, and watch the chef to make our food. All dishes was so good! I'm not even a big mackerel fan but I like how he prepared it. He mostly used the usual shoyu and sesame oil ingredients all throughout the omakase. I am pleasantly surprised at how he used yuzu to elevate the dish. I will definitely want to come again to celebrate. The vibes was peaceful, they held up conversation really well, the restaurant was really clean, and they have their own bathroom. read more

The sushi chef was inviting and attentive during the lunch service for poke bowls. You can eat your poke bowl there or take it to go. Ordered the small, two-choice bowl with spicy mayo salmon and garlic shoyu ahi. I preferred the salmon to the ahi, both were fresh tasting. The spicy mayo sauce was thin and not very creamy. The ahi was a bit on the firmer side. They had a lot of included toppings (sesame, furikake, bubu arare, green onion) that did more for garnish than it did for taste. It was fun to see the sushi chef cut the fish cubes with such precision and weighing it on a scale. I would like to try their omakase later. All of the parking is metered in the lot. read more

Had the omakase at 22Kailua and it was absolutely unforgettable--easily one of the best dining experiences in Kailua. The sushi bar is intimate, so you have the chef's full attention and get to chat as each dish is presented. We went with the multi-course kaiseki omakase and loved every part of it, from the creativity and variety to the incredible quality of the ingredients, which even included imported Japanese eggs that brought flavors to a whole new level. Favorites of the night included the wagyu beef sukiyaki with egg foam, anagi over an egg roll, and the chawanmushi--all were next-level delicious and surprisingly complex. The chef and the staff were so personable that the night turned into a real shared experience. Reservations feel old-school and exclusive, with just 2-5 seats per night; definitely message them on Instagram early to snag a spot. The omakase runs from about $135 to $185 per person, but for the quality, intimacy, and overall experience, it's worth every penny. Also, it's BYOB, so bring your favorite sake or whiskey! If you want an authentic, gourmet omakase with a cozy neighborhood vibe, 22Kailua is the place. read more

Tried this spot on my recent vacation to Oahu. It was an excellent omakase experience. 3 of us were at the Kailua location (in the same area as Cinnamon's). Parking meters in the lot there are supposedly enforced all the time, but we found free street parking (technically a meter but it was Sunday). The place is small and intimate, I think a max of 10-11 seats only. We had two chefs that night, I believe Chef Yutaka and someone in the reviews said his wife? But not confirmed bc I never heard them say anything like that... Both were friendly and gave us delicious dishes! Chef Yutaka focuses more on the raw fish nigiri pieces, and the other chef focused on appetizers/cooked dishes/other. We had about 16 dishes. Everything was delicious, but my faves are always toro, uni, hotate...and they still were! I also love chawanmushi and the shrimp miso. The final piece: foie gras with truffle was a perfect ending also. Hoping this place continues to do well, so I can come back next year! Thank you, chefs, for a great dinner! Make reservations by texting their phone number. If you don't have the number, you can get it by DMing them on Instagram. read more

I'm so glad we were able to get a reservation and do their Omakase. In order to get an RSVP you need to message them on their website or inquire via email. Once that is done, they will reply to you with a number you can text. There were three choices of Omakase based on pricing, $100, $150, $200 tier. We went with the $150 tier. It was a super intimate experience. It was my fiancé and I and there was another couple. The sushi chef is from Japan and he was super informative about his preparation for each fish. He was a former Eel Sushi Chef in Tokyo. Aside from all that he kept us pretty entertained and his assistant was on point. I'd say there was at least 15 pieces of fish that was prepared for the two of us. I can't say you will get the same pieces as us because it could vary depending on what they catch / source. I must say all the pieces we had were amazing. Super fresh and buttery. Texture range from melt in your mouth to high quality freshness haha. I can't really explain! It was a great experience. He was very detailed about his craft and shared with us exactly what was put together. Varied from certain salts, pepper, wasabi, caviar, sauces, garnish, etc. Couple of pieces I could remember were the toro pieces, blue fin tuna, ikura, scallop, salmon. Super fresh homemade wasabi. It was fun due to the attention we had and fyi it's BYOB. Bring your own beer haha. Great time, would definitely do this again at some point. We appreciate the hospitality. read more

Omakase in Kailua! I had heard rumors of this spot for years. They've been around for 6-7 years already and originally opened on Oneawa near Zippy's. I heard of a coffee shop in the am that offered small table sushi at night but I could never find out how to make a reservation. Now, they're much more accessible. They are opened for poke bowls during the day and BYOB omakase in the evening. The chef is really sweet and knowledgeable. It's a relaxing environment with quite a nice variety of sushi and Japanese dishes throughout the omakase experience. I forgot to take pictures of many of the pieces because I was so enveloped in the experience but they were all great! Don't forget to sign the guest book after read more

We decided to splurge on omakase for our wedding anniversary. This place is definitely a hidden gem--we pass it all the time but didn't realize it was there until someone else told us about it. It was kind of hard to make a reservation, which is sort of the charm of it. We liked how intimate it was, dinner seating at 8pm and 6 people total. There was one woman serving and one sushi chef placing the food. He was so professional and described each dish. It was so so delicious and the perfect way to celebrate. I think you could probably dress casually, but we wanted to dress up for the occasion and the sushi chef took a funny selfie with us afterwards, then offered to take our picture. It was definitely quality over quantity. I didn't feel uncomfortably full (which is good!) but everything was on point. The price is steep but worth it for the ambiance, service and food. read more

I love 22 Kailua and this was our first time trying their new Kailua location. So yes, it's been awhile. Chef Yutaka was great! He was very personable and the selection he prepared was amazing! This was the $185 omakase option and it was probably the best menu in all our times going there! Sorry no pic of the uni cuz I gave away. But if you are looking for an amazing sushi omakase then look no further than 22 Kailua! You won't be disappointed! read more

Chef Yutaka-san gave us the most memorable anniversary experience filled with laughter, fun, and sharing Sake together! Very intimate and cozy spot. Nice ambiance with decorations around. Hidden gem located in Kailua. We were very lucky since we were the only ones for 5pm seating, so it felt like a private event with just us and the chef. There was even an origami with our name on it when we arrived. Chef's wife made it herself! How thoughtful. Our favorite omakase experience thus far. Everything was absolutely mind-blowing delicious! You must make a reservation! You can DM on Instagram or email for the number reservation. Follow the instructions on their website for exactly how to text them. You will tell them what dates you prefer, how many people in your party, what tier ($100, $150, $200), 5pm or 8pm seating, any allergies. BYOB so bring your choice of beverage. We chose to bring bottles of Sake to share. You will want to bring water too! Metered parking lot. Located in the same lot as Manoa Chocolate and Ganesh Dosa (on the other side though). We put some quarters in and the total time was about 1.5 hour to dine in. I can't recommend this place enough! You will have a great time sharing stories with Chef Yutaka-san. read more

This was truly one of the best dining experiences I've ever experienced. Simplicity is best. The food was incredibly delicious, the owner puts so much thought into every single detail. Soft music, the freshest fish in every bite. This experience truly has ruined any sushi joint on the mainland for me, even the nicest Vegas locations (which are quintuple the price) can't hold a candle to simple elegance of 22kailua. We will be back the next time we visit Hawaii. read more

Been to most of the omakases in Oahu, so was wondering how this spot maintained the highest average Yelp rating. It's the furthest out of town, so took a while to get around chance to check it out. Quality of food is not up to par frankly. The decor and ambiance are really cute and nice. Music is also nice for a date spot or a night out, but the fish quality was sub standard. One of the fish even tasted a bit fishy, meaning it was starting to spoil. For the price, it is probably the lowest value omakase on island from my experience. Not worth the drive from Honolulu. read more

If you're looking for amazing sushi that will transport you back to Japan here in Hawaii. You have to come to this place. Since being back from Japan, I haven't been really eating too much sushi, but I cannot stop raving about this spot!!! The atmosphere is amazing. It's a beautiful cozy little sushi bar. I can't wait to go back, definitely recommend. We love the chef, the service was superb!!! read more

My husband and I accidentally stumbled upon this cute little Japanese sushi restaurant. It looked busy so we decided to check it out the next day. We went there for lunch and it was fantastic. The poke is so fresh and delicate. So we decided to try their Omakase dinner and it was really amazing! The sushi was SO delicate and melts like butter in your mouth. SO tasty. And this sushi rice is soft and moist unlike the sushi take-out places. This is really a nice restaurant for special occasions or just a date night. Reservations are required and there are only two seatings, 5pm or 8pm. BYOB which is great. We love this place and we will definitely be back. The Chef and his wife were so friendly and service was top-notch. Highly recommended. read more

22Kailua - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

First omakase experience in Oahu! Found this place based on reviews online. It is BYOB which means they don't even serve water. Don't forget to bring your own! I booked about a week before. They don't have an online reservation system - you need to reach out to them to get their reservation number (I reached out via Instagram DMs). Then you have to text their number with your preferred dining times. If you have a party with 8 or more then you get the whole seating for just your party. Ended up getting the 8pm seating. Parking appears to be paid but upon entering the restaurant to ask for quarters we were told it was free! The dinner was VERY quick - it was probably about an hour. The chefs are very personable, and the experience was casual. My party got the $100 menu, which might be why there was no uni (usually my favorite premium piece). read more

The best sushi in Kailua, 12 course meal with options to upgrade or make changes for dietary needs. Vegetarian options are delicious. Very private limit seats, reservations only, byob I have been going here for years now and every time is the menu show cases seasonal ingredients and fresh fish flown from Japan. The chef is in-front of you describe each dish with details on how it's prepared and where they got the ingredients from. The ambiance is perfect for small group reservations or for special date nights. This is a must try for date night and the best sushi in Kailua hands down. read more

I just enjoyed an amazing dinner last night at this true hidden gem, treating my daughter and her newly "minted" fiancé to celebrate their recent engagement. The best parking is the municipal lot behind the bldg. with the entrance on Aulike Street next to U'ahi Grill. You can walk out the back of the lot and the bldg. is on the left of Zippy's. Bring your quarters because the meters do not take credit cards (or you can chance it). The dining area is located in the back of a small coffee shop that also doubles as a boutique store selling clothing and other knick-knacks during the day. The store is closed during the evening and the front door is locked (since it's only staffed by the chef) so you need to make sure you arrive a little early for your rez otherwise you could get locked out (as we were when we arrived a few minutes after our 8pm time). Fortunately after texting them and knocking on the door a bit, he came out to let us in. There was another couple already seated and had already started eating when we sat down. They only have two seating areas with room for six in one and eight in the other so their seatings can fill up pretty fast. If you follow them on IG, you can read everything you need to know about making your rez and the levels of Omakase they offer. Basically, you send them a DM via IG and they will send you their number then you text them back with your request of date, time and dollar level of Omakase that you want. They offer two seatings; 5:00pm and 8:00pm. with four levels of menu; $100, $150, $200 and $250 per person. The $200 and $250 require a week advance notice to accommodate the special items they need to order. I chose the $200 level and they were nice enough to "squeeze in" my rez for Friday @ 8pm even though I sent in my request on Sunday. Fortunately the other couple had signed up for the same level so they were able to accommodate us. They are BYOB so we brought three bottles of sake (ended up finishing two) so a good way to bring your fav beverage (while saving a bit of coin). The overall flow of dinner was terrific. Each dish was expertly prepared while you watch and the chef explains everything. The first course was sashimi so he provided the shoyu and wasabi. From that point on, he took away the shoyu dish since you didn't need it for the remainder of the dishes (if you still really want the shoyu and wasabi he will leave it for you but you really don't need it). I think I counted a total of twenty total items including hand-stirred ocha (green tea) in the traditional style using a bowl and bamboo whisk. Too many dishes to describe here so you will have to look at the photos and their descriptions but I will say it included Ootoro and foie gras as well as Wagyu Kobe beef. A definite must try that rivals places like Sasabune, Sushi Izakaya Gaku among others. I really want to try all their other levels now (especially the $250) and will definitely be back. read more

I'm almost afraid to review this place, as I want to keep this little gem all to myself! But to spread the aloha, I'm sharing this outstanding hole-in-the-wall Kaiseki Omakase experience located in Kailua on Oneawa St. Parking is an ish, but there are paid lots nearby or metered street parking. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by their sweet dog, Pualani. The inside is super cute - it almost looks like a former house that was converted into a coffee shop. It certainly doesn't look like a Japanese restaurant, yet they have two sushi bars in the back specifically set up for their Omakase dinners. The two sushi bars are small - they only accommodate 6-8 people. To make reservations, you need to text them at least a month in advance. Contact them on IG at @22Kailua to get their number. They have two seatings - 5:00pm and 8:30pm. They have two Kaiseki/Omakase dinners to choose from - one is $100 and the other is $150. All of the people in your party need to order the same one. The pricier one includes upgraded fish. My brother and I selected the $100 version, and it was mind-blowing! I can't even imagine what the $150 version tastes like. There is no menu - their motto is "trust us". The dishes included assorted sushi, assorted sashimi, steamed dish, simmered dish, broiled dish, deep fried dish, vinegar dish, appetizer and dessert. I can't even tell you how many dishes we got - I'd say at least 16! All of the fish was so fresh and every single dish was delicious and authentic. It's BYOB, so bring a nice bottle of sake or Japanese beer, and you'll be all set! The sushi chefs, Dustin and Malia, are incredibly nice and it's easy to become fast friends with them. I look forward to returning very soon! read more

I've had this bookmarked for yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaars and I'm so glad my friends were able to take me here for my birthday heehee. Apparently in the morning its a poke shop and at night, it transforms into an omakase experience! I believe you would have to follow them on IG in order to make a reservation because they announce it monthly when they're open. There are specific steps on how to reserve a spot so read carefully! Very quiet and intimate but I loved the vibes. The sushi chef and his helper explained each dish and holy moly, their selections are so fresh! Everything practically melted in our mouths and I loved the fish to rice ratio. His sauces complimented each fish so well, it left me wanting more. What really stood out for me was that at the end of our dinner, he handed us a journal where we can write about our experiences so that he can reflect back on it; how cute is that! He even offers to take your picture and one selfie with him (seriously so adorable) We left happy and at a perfect level of satisfaction; not too hungry but not too full -- just right! I would 10/10 come back again! (btw it's also BYOB) read more

LOVE LOVE eating here!! This is my second visit - first to the new location. Food and service is AH-MAZ-ING!!! The seafood is so fresh!! You can tell the chefs take extra care in preparing your meal...everything is plated beautifully, the flavors are subtle yet weave together perfectly. This restaurant seats by reservation only. This is to ensure the freshest seafood and ingredients for your meal. There are two seating times, 5pm and 8 pm. Parking is in a big metered lot (quarter for 20 minutes - no credit card option on the meter). The sign says parking is enforced 24 hours so we put in the coins just to be safe. The interior is so warm and inviting!! Wood everything. There are a bunch of stone accents running along the sushi bar and it makes you feel like you're dining at someone's home instead of a restaurant. Your meal is omakase meaning the chef will serve what he seems fresh and delicious. Make your reservation, show up with your bottle, then sit back and enjoy the masterpieces that will be coming your way. read more

Had an amazing experience here last Sunday! With a limited number of seats every night, it was especially fun in an intimate setting with a small group of friends and the 2 chefs. We sat in front of Shaka Taka from Osaka and Utaka was at the other end. They were so fun and we had such a great time hanging out with the chefs! The overall meal, company, and the bubbliness if chefs was incredible and fantastic experience. Big takeaway here is that everything is BYOB - this includes BYO- nonalcoholic beverages like water and soda. Don't forget to bring more than you think you'll need so no one goes thirsty! Favorites of the night - Uni Foie Blue fin Toro Of course, Ben loved the chawamushi cuz its egg - lol Definitely recommend booking ressies well in advance! Also note that the restaurant isn't super close to Waikiki, so Uber was about $30. (Uber was significantly cheaper than Lyft at the time i wrote this - like by $100 so definitely shop the rides lol!) Having a car is also helpful too! read more

Parking is a little sketch at night, but once you walk into 22Kailua, you're in sushi heaven. Though small (seating about 12), the space is quaint, like a Japanese home. It's warm and inviting, so settle in for one of the best omakase. Chef Yutaka-san puts all of his experience into every dish/piece of sushi. It's his little touches, from the red vinegar mixed in the rice to the lemon zest for another layer of flavor, that transcend a traditional omakase to one worth closing your eyes and savoring each bite. In fact, the chawamushi with the unagi and layer of dashi was the best I've ever had, and I'm not typically a fan of the dish. A few things to note about 22Kailua: 1) two seatings 5pm and 8pm, 2) BYOB, not even water is served (yet we did have tea with our dessert), 3) reservations made via text, 4) three omakase tiers at $100, $150, $200 with extra sushi ordering at $20 each, which must be stated when making a reservation, and 5) enjoy enjoy enjoy! read more

My partner surprised me with a birthday dinner here. When we showed up in front of a closed looking coffee shop for an 830 pm dinner, I was pretty confused. Like this place is obviously closed. One text later, we were ushered to a very private tiny sushi bar in the back. 22 Kailua is one of those places where someone tells you it exists, you follow on Instagram to find out when new dates come available, and have to dm them for the phone number to text to make an appointment. Despite all this, or possibly because of it, they have a loyal and steady stream of costumers. Dustin and Malia serve an omekase sushi menu that is beautiful and luxurious with delicate and bold flavors. We started off with a small plate of salmon and mackerel with seaweed salad. Next was meat and potatoes and beet poke. Then came a seemingly endless array of dishes one after the next. Each was gorgeously presented and delicious. A very fancy oyster, veggie sushi, wagyu beef, a savory custard (which sounds disgusting, but it was so good!!), the dishes just kept coming. Accompanying this was great dialogue and conversation with the chefs and the other couple. Dinner ended with a scoop of ice cream and matcha tea. Um yum!!! The restaurant is byo. So we brought wine, but the other couple had several bottles of sake to pair at different times. I loved this experience! It's expensive, so definitely an occasion meal. I immediately was scheming my next visit. They had no problem accommodating my gluten allergy and I had no reaction. Aloha Dustin and Malia! We'll be back! read more

This is the best omakase on the island. I've tried almost all of the most esteemed sushi restaurants, plus some of the newest ones, and this is the One. Service is immaculate.
