    Portions getting smaller! I always come here when I'm craving hamachi not anymore more better options elsewhere...

    Hamachi bowl - Ala Moana special
    Alvin K.

    The food is good, with fresh ingredients and great flavor. The poke-style bowls are made to order, and take a little while for prep. You can get them with either regular white rice, sushi rice or brown rice. They offer a special Hamachi bowl at Ala Moana, so of course, I had to try it. The fish is fresh and expertly cut and layered over warm rice, along with sliced ginger and ocean salad. They also offer a variety of both hot and cold items, with many prepackaged for a quick grab and go lunch or dinner. This is a great place for a delicious meal anytime.

    Fresh grab 'n go sushi, and bowls to go

    Ahi and vegetable is located at Ala Moana shopping center in the food court by Macy's. I stopped by to pick up some fresh sushi on a Friday during Lent. I was pleasantly surprised how fresh the fish was, and how reasonable the prices were. You're able to order from the menu or you can grab some of the premade ready to go sushi. The service was fast. Since they're located in the food court, they have tables there to eat in, or you can take your food to go.

    Salmon and Ahi.  So good!
    Lauren M.

    I used to visit their Kalihi location in the past, but this one in Ala Moana is way more convenient. Their fish is always so fresh and service is quick. My go-to is the salmon/hamachi salad with a side of sushi rice. It is my absolute fave!! The lettuce (romaine) is also always consistently fresh and crunchy. Top it off with the slices of salmon and hamachi and it is a winner. I usually get it with the vinaigrette dressing and it's perfect. I haven't tried many other things, but every now and then, I'll get the salmon and ahi nigiri that they have in their refrigerated section. That one is good too, but the rice can get a little hard since it's kept cold for a long period of time.

    The bottom part "core" of the lettuce

    Once again 5 stars, for this $12 SUMO poke bowl! Guaranteed to hit a spot and it even comes with a cup of miso soup! Definitely be back for more of this!

    Poke bowl
    Almira Alice L.

    Located inside the food court Level 2. Seating area is shared with rest of the food court. Washroom located at the back. Fresh poke bowls. Good quality for the price. You can build your own or take one of the pre- prepared ones. Fast service , quick

    Hamachi
    Rebecca C.

    Fish quality is so fresh! The hamachi was very delicate and light. Price was great as well.

    Tempura bento $8.99! Great deal and tasty! Very filling!
    Vincent T.

    Great deals for their pre packaged/bento items. To me they have the best deals of all the restaurants at that food court. Way better deals than musubi cafe. Check the menu out and let me know your thoughts.

    Food A Go Go Chirashi Bowl $15.00
    Lily F.

    The business is located at Lanai Food Court which is across Macys. Food court has lots of tables and chairs inside and outside for all eateries. There is chiller with prepared poke bowls and other food.Menu with variety of bentos that they make. My order was poke bowl which rang up right away.

    Daily "Mushy" sumo bowl
    Truthful R.

    I stopped by Ahi & Vegetable and was originally looking at the fresh sushi, but the staff pushed the daily special spicy ahi sumo bowl on me. The service seemed friendly at first, but in hindsight it felt dishonest -- like I was being steered toward something they knew wasn't fresh. The bowl itself was a complete disappointment. The poke was chopped into mush, the taste was inconsistent, and it had a mix of ocean funk and spoiled smell. Right after eating it, I ended up with a stomachache and what felt like food poisoning. At first, I thought maybe that's just how they prepare it, but after getting sick, I'm convinced something wasn't right. The "daily special" honestly feels like leftover poke that gets chopped up and sold cheap to move old product. The portion is big, but that doesn't matter when the quality is questionable and the food makes you sick. I would never recommend eating or buying from here. Save your money and your stomach.

    Storefront... one of the vendors at The Lanai (food court on the Mall Level of Ala Moana Center)
    Nadine C.

    Dinner at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu, Hawaii... The largest outdoor shopping mall in the world is right here on the Island of Oahu! ...and there's FREE parking! One of our high school classmates was visiting from Iowa, and we decided to go to The Lanai (food court) on the Mall Level. It's located at the Macy's wing on the Mauka (mountain side) of the mall. Everyone chose what they wanted to eat: burgers, dimsum, Garlic French Fries, musubi, etc. There are so many vendors here at this clean venue. I think it's less crowded than the Makai Market Food Court, and the convenient restroom is probably cleaner because there are maybe fewer users? Haha! I chose Ahi & Vegetable because I have been to their original location in Kalihi. I know that they have fresh fish and veggies! This time, I didn't want to eat rice, so I got the Imitation Crab Salad... not bad with cucumber and tobiko! The dressing was alright! Service was efficient and friendly! I will return soon!

    Nigiri Deluxe 8 piece
    Jackie K.

    Picked up the eight piece nigiri sushi for lunch. No line today. The nigiri is kept in a refrigerated section and there are many choices. You can also have sushi, nigiri rice bowls, and bentos made to order. Area is nice and clean. Nice lady emphasized that the fish is fresh and never frozen!

    Nick D.

    Delicious fresh sashimi bowl! Loved how savory and flavorful it was. Kind service. As others have mentioned, it was a bit hard to find, but you can ask around and it is in the food court prices are quite reasonable!

I've been to Mitch's a few times and when I saw that they opened up an Izakaya next door, I knew I had to try it and made a reservation on Yelp. Izakaya Mitch's specializes more in cooked dishes while the other side is more about the fresh / raw fish. But that didn't stop us from ordering the assorted sashimi. All the fish were from Japan and yes you can taste the difference. The fatty tuna was obviously my favorite but even the regular tuna and the hamachi was so buttery, it just melts in your mouth. Plus, it comes with real wasabi. Not horseradish, real wasabi. For the cooked dishes we got the hokkaido crab tempura with a side of matcha salt. One of the best tempuras I've ever had. The kamameshi, a rice dish with their fish of the day. We got the half order and it's kinda like a bibimbap where they mix the rice for you at your table. I saw that people were raving about this on Yelp and put in our order right when we got in because it takes 25-ish minutes to prepare. On special, they had a karei karaage. Karei is a flat fish and I've never had a fish karaage before, it was perfectly fried and dipped in the ponzu sauce it was so good. Ambiance is a no-frills kinda spot but very clean and feels homey and the service is amazing! Attentive and super personable.

I made reservations, so we were seated right away. Luckily, it wasnʻt crowded when we sat, so our waitress was able to answer all our questions about different dishes we were interested in ordering. Our party of 3 got to try different things from the specials and regular menu. The tai karaage was so tender and seasoned really well, the kamameshi is such a comfort dish, and the burrata with chilled tomato was really refreshing. One thing we all liked was that even though there were a lot of people in the restaurant (most came in after we ordered), we still were able to speak to one another without talking loud. The staff mentioned that they will be getting a sushi chef, so I guess we need to try this place again,

This place has been a staple for my family ever since we moved back to O'ahu a few years ago. Bottom line? The soba noodles here are utterly fantastic. They are, in my humble opinion, the best on the island, and some of the best soba noodles I've ever had. I don't think anywhere else in Honolulu comes close. You come here to eat soba. Period. In addition to the soba being phenomenal, the other offerings at i-naba are also similarly great. Their tempura in particular is outstanding. I typically order the Jumbo Shrimp Tempura Bowl & Soba or the Dx Tempura Bowl & Soba. Plus an upgrade to a large size soba! The tempura is sooo good. It's crispy, light, and airy. The jumbo shrimp is especially succulent and tender. And the ingredients are always perfectly seasoned with the sweet and savory house sauce. Yummmy! If you're looking for the best soba and awesome tempura, this is your spot!!!

I finally had lunch here a couple weeks ago and damn was my tempura and soba set broke da mout. The soba is housemade with a chewy consistency that I love.

Probably 30 minutes. Light crisp batter on perfectly cooked shrimp and veggies. Damn it was good. The service was great as well and I cannot wait to go back. Nice warm atmosphere and there's a free parking lot. It gets busy during lunch and dinner, so get there early or make a reservation. Enjoy!
