First time visiting this cute place. Ordered a Super Salad to go. This delicious salad contains ahi, salmon, spicy ahi, and crab. Includes a creamy sesame dressing on the side. The counter attendant was very friendly and warm. This salad costs less than $18 plus tax. Well worth it. read more

Damo Sushi - ground spicy ahi donburi ???? for ants? - Japanese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Here's my TL;DR review: Parking: Free parking right in front of the restaurant. Service: Great, no issues. Food only took 10 minutes to prepare. I got the spicy ahi poke nachos and they had many sizes to choose from. Cleanliness: They could really improve on this one. There were spider webs all over the windows, huge spiders nested in every corner. The spider webs went all the way down to the table. I looked under the table and it was even worse. Overall, this made me nervous about the cleanliness of the kitchen. The spicy ahi poke nachos was great. It tasted fresh and I didn't have complaints. The prices are reasonable. I'm all about supporting local but if I come back next time I'll just do takeout. Plus there's better options nearby for poke nachos like Poke on Da Run. read more

Damo Sushi is located on Kam highway in a little strip mall next to Longs. I used the directions on yelp and it took me to the back side of the mall, where HMart is. The parking lots are connected though, so you can just drive around DOnki if you find yourself in the back. It's a pretty small restaurant, only a few tables, most of which were occupied when I went in the early afternoon. The girl at the cash register took my order (garlic salmon roll) and I paid with credit card. She informed me it would take 15-20 minutes because there were other orders ahead of mine. I liked that the roll came with salad, but it was a little on the small side. I think I prefer Makoto Sushi even though it's a little more expensive. The garlic salmon was just ok. I think if I were to come back, I would try the spicy ahi nachos. I like that they offer different sizes and different types of poke. read more

If you're looking to #SUPPORTLOCAL and get some good food after your trip to Daiso or grocery shopping in DonQ this is your spot! I first came to Damo since my friend worked here and this was the first place I ever tried poke nachos. When Daiso opened up I've been coming to this shopping center a lot more often and no brainer to choose to eat here. At first, I would get only the poke nachos and not even pay attention to the rolls. Now, that I've tried more from the menu, I've definitely been missing out all this time! First off, this is one of the only places in the shopping center with tables to sit and eat in A/C. Next, along with the poke nachos all the food I've tried hits the spot. I know prices in Hawaii are skyrocketing but you gotta admit, these sets are pretty fair for what you pay. Don't let the menu fool you! When you buy a roll it comes with miso soup and small side salad for under $15, and don't forget, you're supporting local! Sometimes for variety I like to order their spicy ahi won tons or shumai on the side, and I always have leftovers. The service here also fast and convenient. You can call ahead so your order is ready when you arrive, but if you walk-in you only have to wait 5 maybe 10 minutes depending on how many people are in front of you. Even when it's peak lunch time I don't even feel like I'm waiting long. Whenever I'm in the area, I always get a craving to come here and get my sushi fix and you should too! read more

Service and quality of food is alway great! One of my go to spots for sushi when in the area.

The good is high quality and always fresh. The quaint furnishings make for an enjoyable meal.

Sunday July 2, 2023 First time, coming here as Poke on the Run down the street is closed on Sunday. I hate to give a low star rating. But, I like to give a honest review. Miso Poke Nachos: $18.95!! Fish was gritty texture and stringy! Gritty texture from being frozen too long and not being FRESH! ! Very stringy as I picked up a piece of fish and 2 pieces of fish was hanging from the sugi string. I should've taken a picture as that was the first time I ever saw that in my life! No miso taste at all. Chips was soggy as I tried one as I was walking out the front door. Bonito shavings didn't make it any better and it just made the price higher. Shoyu Ahi Poke Bowl: A very little amount of fish and so much more rice than fish! Lol. Spicy Ahi Tempura: Was okay. Plus, was that it came with a miso soup. I am so very sorry, that we won't be trying this place again. It doesn't have to be auction fresh from sea to table. But, the fish should be of at least decent quality. read more

Stopped by to get sushi for dinner. While not totally bad, not the best either. Everyone got sushi, but I opted for a salad which was underwhelming. I did not like the ends of the romaine bunches that were included (sorry tossed out). The salad was topped with a spoonful of spicy ahi poke & mayo imitation crab, 3 whole baby carrots, 2 halves of a mini bell pepper, 3 grape tomatoes. It did included 2 slices each of ahi & salmon sashimi. I opted to save my fish to eat with rice tomorrow. I did enjoy the miso dressing. I was told the sushi all tasted very similar. Don't come hungry because the rolls were more like 1/2 rolls. The sushi did come with (just) romaine salad & a cup of miso soup. Also the unagi bowl (see white styrofoam in pics) was less than 1/2 full of lightly "packed" rice so don't count on the sample portion sizes displayed. read more

We placed our order through Grubhub, our first time. Gotta say, it came a little earlier than the time stated. But that's another review for Grubhub, great! We ordered a variety of different items. We had Spicy Ahi Poke, Unagi-Don, Garlic Salmon Roll, Jins Roll, and Dragon Roll. This is a very easy review because everything was top notch tasty and well prepared. I was really impressed and happy. Now we have a new to go to place around the area. Taste quality is excellent! But be prepared if you're hungry the portions are a bit on the smaller side. read more

My mom and I on our way to shopping nearby neighborhood store when I peaked into their shop! After our shopping very hungry lunchtime. We asked if we can dine in and the cozy restaurant had table and chairs like we're in a living room. Very comfortable casual sushi restaurant.

Damo Sushi - Nigiri Sushi. Wow! Very good! - Japanese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Damo is my daughter's favorite. That says a lot bc she eats a lot of rolls and keeps a sushi spreadsheet for the island. I have to say, everything I have ever tried here tastes fresh. Prices have gone up recently but that is pretty much the norm. We recently ordered a catering tray and that turned out well. Also, I always appreciate the music at Damo and hope they do not change. read more

First time trying this place. It was very small inside, not much seating to dine in. The prices were a little high, but the quality of fish was good. We got our food pretty fast. We tried the spicy ahi poke bowl, a natto hand roll and the hawaii set. The fish was fresh and delicious. The natto hand roll had cucumber inside and it complimented the natto very well. Although I don't think I'd come back here, I would recommend it if your in that area looking for sushi. read more

I love Damo Sushi! Me and my coworker always visit here to pick up lunch during work. It's such a convenient place and easy to locate, right next to Long's and Sadie's BBQ. I really enjoy getting their Spicy Ahi poke nachos. If i'm not really in the mood to eat rice or have a heavy meal, their Poke Nachos are always my go-to. They are really generous with their portions and the uncle working the front is always so nice and welcoming! They put yummy toppings on the poke nachos too. I have yet to try their other sushi, but without a doubt, i'm sure they all taste ono! Support local businesses and give Damo Sushi a try! :) read more

Ummm... I don't even know where to start. I haven't had Damo in a long time and I happened to go to Ben Franklin and decided to grab some lunch. The guy at the cash register was eating a pint of ice cream. No joke...just munching away. He didn't even greet me. Finally he put it down on the counter and told me to order when I was ready. I almost decided to walk out but it was just too awkward. I ordered a roll just to be polite and I was starving. The roll was good. I forgot what I ordered but the fish tasted fresh. I'd give it 4 stars for the roll but like a 0 star for service just because of him eating his pint of ice cream. It's just weird and disgusting... read more

I had a work order to fix her landline phone. I was unsuccessful. Even though the owner is using Grub Hub and Uber Eats, she has customers that usually call the landline for orders.

Haven't been here in a while so I wanted to try it again. Seems prices have skyrocketed since I last came. I got the Aloha Set which was mostly spicy tuna and imitation crab variations at $18.95 for 8 pieces. Pre-covid it was only $12.95. It tasted ok but was annoyed the that the nori was very chewy instead instead of crunchy. Quality down and prices up. Not a good combo. read more

Damo Sushi - Retro and homelike decor. - Japanese Near Me - Pearl City, Hawaii

Since I was in the area and craving Poke, I decided to drop by Damo Sushi. I didn't expect to walk into a cosy looking place. Heck it felt like I was visiting someone's home. They had 25% off poke bowls, salad, and nachos. So I decided to get some Spicy Ahi Nachos and green tea. The bill came out to $16. The poke nachos tasted pretty good. I experience friendly customer service and I got my food ASAP. Not a bad place to check out. read more

I would give you a half star if I could. Claiming you don't make platters after the delivery driver is there waiting? So unprofessional. Not even an offer to replace it. You lost a customer over something that would have taken a minute to communicate. Only reason I didn't cancel was because the driver would have wasted his time. Delivery costs more than the damn food. Unbelievable. read more

Omg I am so glad my hubby found this spot! The sushi is soooo yummy and FRESH!! I love that they give Romaine with every roll. And don't even get me started on their poke (I'm drooling just thinking about it and I'm so stuffed) it is by the far the BEST poke I've ever had, just melts in your mouth! And the service is very friendly, warm and lots of aloha. They definitely show their love and aloha through every roll! Very quick service! It's such a cute little spot! Very welcoming, comfortable, and intimate. I wish we had time to take pictures but it was just THAT good! Much mahalos and we will definitely be back! read more

Haven't been here in awhile and when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised they have the cutest sitting area. Super cozy and clean atmosphere. Comfy chairs. Honestly didnt feel like I was in pearl city shopping center lol. As for the food sushi wise it's what I remember. I also tried a few side which was okay but I'll stick to the sushi. I didnt really like the texture of the filling in the spicy ahi wonton. The soft shell crab tempura batter was also too thick for my personal preference but I enjoyed the spicy ahi nachos and unagi special. One of the best ahi nachos we had in a while. The menu changed a lil. Service was nice and fast esp since we ordered a bunch of stuff. read more

I was at Pearl City Shopping Center and wanted to eat something fast. As I walked around this very homely shopping center I came across Damo Sushi. I thought yes...I can enjoy a spam musubi. My favorite quick not to big lunch. I have been to Pearl City Shopping Center many times, but never noticed Damo Sushi. I went in and was pleasantly surprised. There was a sort of Opera type music playing and the decor felt like I was in Paris with a Japanese twist. It was really cute and relaxing. The menu is simple, but well thought out. They serve poke bowls with many options and a variety of local sushi favorites. Everything was super clean with lots of space for social distancing. As I waited for my spam and tempura roll which didn't take to long and were delicious more customers began showing up and each ordered Poke bowls so I think next time I will definitely try the poke bowl. I appreciate a good sushi like many who live in Hawaii and Damo Sushi is definitely a keeper.... read more

I've passed this place many times and finally decided to give it a try. I've tried a variety of their sushi and even the spicy ahi won tons. They were all really good and the prices are reasonable. There were other customers coming in, but I would assume companies like this would be affected by COVID-19. Let's do our part to support businesses like this. Mahalo! read more

Mom did takeout yesterday evening. She ordered a party platter and it was reasonably priced and she said it looked nice and tasted like average sushi platter. Unfortunately deducting a star based on payment system. She paid by credit and when it went to the "leave a tip" screen, there was no option to skip (no option for 0% or $0 either), meaning it forced her to leave a tip when all she did was pick up a platter. Forcing people to tip is very tacky in my opinion. We actually tip when we do take out on occasion when we feel we have received above the top extra service or the restaurant seem busy or especially during Covid, but I do not like to feel forced. I did explain to my mom that next time there may be a button that says "custom" where you can enter $0.00 or $0.01 so if you get stuck and they are forcing you to tip, try look for a custom button, I have seen that at other restaurants. read more

This is located right next to Sadies in Pearl City right on Kamehameha HWY. It is in the same shopping center as Leeward Bowl. There is plenty of parking. It is in a good location and was pretty empty (they only have about 4 tables). The set up inside was very cute and comfortable. I was pretty disappointed in this place. I did not read the reviews before hand, but I've seen the restaurant when passing by. So I thought why not give it a try! Well, I am no sushi expert, but both the ahi poke bowls (different flavors) that my husband and I ordered were very mushy and seemed old. Not the mushy kine that melt in da mouth. The quality was not good. I never experienced sushi that had such a gooey/mushy texture. It had a lot of sauce and flavor, but that is about the only thing it had going for it... They do have a lot of options here and different rolls. They might be better than just getting ahi poke with rice.. Probably will try a different place next time I am in the area and craving sushi. read more

Ive only eaten Sushi from Damo about three times in my life. The first time I've ordered through Delivery. The sushi rolls were so yummy, i forgot what I had ordered but it was a pleasant experience the first time. The second time was a takeout order, they took a very long time to prepare two orders of sushi rolls. The third time, i went inside and there was nobody there but my boyfriend and i. We waited a good while for one of the ladies to come up to the front and take our order. Right after she took our order she went to the back like she took 3 steps behind her and started talking to the other two girls whispering right in front of us and I can see them clearly. I am just staring right at them because they have not given me a chance to walk away from the register and get myself situated for the wait I had to endure. She just left so quickly, turned around and started whispering. Not sure what it was about it. It just seemed so unprofessional. Their "talk" went on for so long. Several minutes later, I can slightly see that they're now making my rolls of sushi, finally. My boyfriend left because it was taking too long and he went to get us drinks at Longs Drugs. Came back with the drinks and I was still waiting. It has already been about 25 minutes until it was done. Not sure how long it makes to make rolls of sushi, but i'm sure it would've taken less time if the employees actually did their job and not whisper or "gossip" right in front of me. It's sad because they have very delicious tasting sushi and I would totally come here more often but there's just a big lack of customer service. read more

Was going to pick lunch up at Sadies BBQ next door. They were closed so I went to Damo. Happy I did. When you enter you see the standard take out sushi counter. To the right there's a nice intimate dining area seating for 6 to 8. Soft jazz music in the background. It was very relaxing while I waited for my order. Ordered the California Roll for my wife and the Poke California combo for myself. Needless to say we loved the food. Service was fast and friendly. read more

My wife and I was shopping at the center and decided to have dinner and came across Damo Sushi. What caught my eye was the poke bowls that was on the menu so we decided to try them. They also have a pretty good variety on the menu. We ordered the spicy ahi bowls and the BLT sushi rolls. It was ono (delicious) one of the best poke I've tasted. The BLT sushi rolls really topped it off too. We met with the owner's who told us that they had just taken over the business. My wife and I complimented them and will definitely be back when we want to eat Poké bowls. read more

$17 for 5 oz of Shoyu poke. What in the what?! Are you serious? 5 OUNCES OF POKE. What kind of robbery is that?! I've been robbed. Even foodland poke is way better. Do not go here unless you want mediocre poke that will cost you your soul. I've never been so ripped off in my life. Then you add lettuce for what?! If I wanted lettuce in my poke I would've ordered a salad. Then there's this white tissue that I keep spitting out with every TINY piece I chew. To say I'm beyond pissed would be an understatement. This poke is not worth $17. Hope you guys feel proud of yourself. Fresh or not 5 oz is not worth $17. I can get better fish from someone off instagram, pay more but get way better quality of fish. read more
