    When I'm craving sushi and want to go all in without destroying my wallet, Ahi & Vegetable is my go-to. There's lots of parking and plenty of seating inside, which already makes it an easy choice. For around $35 AYCE, the quality is honestly a steal. The variety is solid too -- tons of rolls to choose from, plus fried sides, miso soup, veggies, and more. You definitely don't feel limited for the price. The AC is always bumping so bring a jacket if you're cold easily. Service is always quick and helpful, and the food comes out at a steady pace so you can keep the rounds going. My personal favorites? Anything with shrimp tempura and spicy ahi. I always ask for unagi sauce on the side to dip everything in -- it adds that perfect touch of sweetness. All in all, if you're trying to eat a ton of sushi without breaking the bank, this is the move.

    Today my sister and B-in-law decided to check out Ahi & Vegetable located in the Kapalama shopping center . We decided to go with their AYCE sushi . $35.95 not too bad although certain premium sushi will be $3 more . It was ok and they brought out our sushi in a boast it was pretty cool . Service was efficient once we rang the buzzer the waitress came by real quick . Support local

    Late update 2-11-2026 Brother-in-law said let's try the AYCE at Ahi and Vegetable. We got there a few minutes before eleven. Signage stated that the AYCE Starts at eleven. We were promptly seated and given a menu for our selections. Very good service with clean and spacious seating. I was surprised that our first ordered came out on a wooden boat. This is something you see at fancier Japanese restaurants. Overall the sushi was good. I didn't care for the breading of the fried squid or tempura. Enjoy

    Food: AYCE sushi was good--nothing standout, but solid overall. Favorites: * Vegetable tempura (the mixed patty kine--my fave) * Aburi hamachi * Agedashi tofu (broth was ono) * Garlic fried chicken wings Cost: $35 AYCE per adult, keiki discounted. Sashimi + otoro are $3 extra per order. They do check for leftovers and charge accordingly--so order wisely. Ended up around $45 after tip... not the "deal" I imagined, but still decent. Service & Space: Friendly staff, clean, and sanitary.

    Casual and affordable all-you-can-eat sushi spot! Out of all of the Ahi & Vegetable locations, this is my favorite. Lots of parking, friendly service, and a large dining area. The sushi is a bit rice-heavy but the selection and price makes up for it. My must orders are the fried calamari, aburi scallops, and onion salmon. If your order is large they even put it on a wooden boat!

    Update on 2-11-26. My brother wanted to try AYCE sushi here at this place. Me and my husband never tried the AYCE sushi although we had their salmon ahi salad. That's good. Well we ordered a little too much today. Ikura, salmon, ahi, imitation crab, shrimp tempura, fried calamari, tamago, gyoza, unagi. It was alot. For the price I guess it was okay.it was about $35.00 per person. If you want to try them support them.

    Tried out the AYCE here at Ahi & Veggie. I was surprised at how much choices were available. I was hoping for the boat, but the food all came out on individual plates. Also we could only order like 3 items at a time. Anyway, the food was pretty good. My kids enjoyed the non sushi items and made the ordering worth it too.

    Some nights call for something quick, healthy-ish, and satisfying--and that's exactly how we ended up at Ahi & Vegetable. We were in Kalihi and I suggested it to my hubby as an easy dinner option. I ordered the ahi, salmon, cali, poke bento, while my hubby went with the chirashi. Both meals came with a bowl of miso soup. Is it the greatest sushi you'll ever have? No--but it's a great option when you're in the mood for sushi but don't want to break the bank. The portions are solid, the fish is fresh, and best of all, the food comes out fast. Simple, affordable.

    The amount of rice that was in the nigiri

    Wasn't busy when I went around 2:00pm. Service is friendly and the place is nice and clean. The food however was disappointing. The fish and rice ratio is horrible. Flavor is there but the fish was so thin I felt I was tasting the rice more than the fish itself. In my opinion save your money and visit sumo sushi the ratio portion of rice and fish is excellent. You will be full with just one round. Believe me or not I felt sick with all that rice in my belly. But it's good if you have a sushi craving but I don't think I can eat the ayce again not until they change their rice ratio.

    The fresh fish they use is great and the owner goes to the auction block daily to purchase the fish he needs for the day. The service is great and they are friendly and service from order to dining is fast. If you are craving some fresh fish or they serve also udon and also have some cooked items and alcoholic drinks and soft drinks available for purchase. The restroom are shared by all the tenants in the Kapalama mall it is on the left side of Ahi & Vegetable as you enter pass the laundromat. Good size parking shared by other tenants.

    Not a bad portion for $17

    Definitely some good flavors my first time in ahi vegetable I ordered the spicy Yahi. I can't really complain. I'm here for the Fish. The vegetables looked a little bit overcooked but I'm OK with.

    What a great place to get a quick bite to eat. We came here when we arrived to Honolulu and needed a place to eat that was quick, reasonably priced, and on our way to our hotel. The food here was exactly what we needed. It was good and not expensive. Service was limited. You have to press the bell to get someone to come to you. Ambiance is simple, and not fancy but overall I liked it.

    On Sunday, May 24, 2026, I picked up my takeout order. Jade was so helpful, friendly, and pleasant. She made sure I received my rewards by asking me to punch in my phone number. Whenever we have a family get-together, I always get sushi platter from Ahi & Vegetable. Their food is always delicious. My family eats at the restaurant very often and enjoy their AYCE. The restaurant is always clean and is very spacious. Overall the restaurant is one of my favorite sushi restaurants. Thank you Jade - you're awesome. Ahi & Vegetable is fortunate to have a very good employee like you.

    Happy hour menu

    TL;DR Fantastic…read morepoke. Manoa represent!!! ----- Off the Hook Poke lives up to the hype. There's a constant line out the door filled with locals and tourists alike. And for good reason. Off the Hook delivers consistent, high-quality poke bowls (trays?) in the heart of beautiful Manoa Valley. I've been coming to Off the Hook since it opened way back in 2018. While the prices have steadily increased, the delicious poke has remained the same. For poke bowls, you have several options to consider: 1) Mini or regular size 2) Rice option (white, brown, sushi, or green salad) 3) One or two choices of poke At this point I've tried almost every one of their poke offerings, and they are all fantastic. You cannot go wrong with whatever you choose. However, I'd say 95% of the time I stick with the Cold Ginger Ahi and the Spicy Ahi. These are guaranteed hits. I also really like the Wasabi Furikake Ahi. Lastly, makes sure you load up on their free toppings! Masago, tempura flakes, and scallions. Yummmy!

    Originally posted 7/24/2024: This little Manoa poke shop…read morestorefront always has lines snaking around the block, but not today, so I couldn't resist finding out what all the hype was about. Off the Hook advertises auction-fresh ahi, which distinguishes it from other poke joints that use previously frozen fish. Since I was a first-timer, I opted for a sampler: 1/4 # of each of the following: Shoyu Poke, Kilauea Fire, and the signature Cold Ginger Ahi, which my friends have been raving about. All three were good and seasoned perfectly: just the right amount of sauce. My favorite, hands-down, was the Cold Ginger ahi, which pays homage to the Cantonese ginger-scallion sauce served over chicken, and not oily: wonderfully fresh grated ginger in this! Shoyu was also on point: nice sweet umami sauce. Was actually expecting much more spice in the Kilauea Fire, which had a mild chili flavor. Miso gave it depth and richness, making the sauce gochujang-like in flavor. Arguably, the only downside would be the price point: 1LB= $33.99 1/2LB= $16.99 1/4LB= $8.49: expensive, but excellent-quality product, and definitely fresh, with melt-in-the-mouth fish.

What stands out to me is their variety of unique flavors - even your basic shoyu or spicy ahi poke has a more creative and/or elevated version here! The Yuzu Shiso Ahi poke is my single favorite poke I've ever tried from anywhere; this combination is absolutely genius and feels tailor-made for me, as someone who loves these two flavors! They've also recently added a Kaffir Lemongrass Ahi poke that I love as well - you get exactly what the name suggests, which is bright, fresh, and full of flavor. The fish itself is always great quality; the flavor is always fresh despite the texture sometimes (rarely) having some tough parts. The prices are reasonable too, though I usually prefer ordering 1/2 or 1/4 pound of poke along with another side dish instead of a poke bowl. They have great sides like the Fish Patty Musubi or Inari Sushi, but I really hope they bring back the Grilled Musubi soon!!! Although the shop itself is very small and can get crowded quickly, the staff are always super friendly and efficient.
