Nice ladies who work here but the food doesn't taste all that great and it had a weird smell to the place

The best customer service on the island, and great sushi to back it up! If you are looking for quality food for a great price this is the place. Every time we come here the food is always consistent. All the rolls are huge and bowls are great. read more

Best sushi and customer service ever! Every dish is carefully crafted and is as pleasant to the eye as it is to the palate! Go and eat at Honolulu Sushi, I guarantee you will love it! read more

This place is one of the freshest sushi places I've tried. The sashimi is very fresh. I usually get hives if the fish is not fresh so it was a very good sign. The store itself is a cute little store that had a chalk wall with the menu on it. There was only two people working, one in the kitchen, and one at the front desk. The miso soup they serve is one of the best. It is not salty like most, but is not bland either. Everything I ordered came rather quickly considering there was only 1 person in the kitchen. I loved everything I ordered. The pricing is very affordable. Majority of the food is around $10. read more

If you're like me and love a hole in the wall place with excellent food at extremely reasonable prices, this is the place. Extensive menu and the fish fresh and tasty. Service excellent and friendly. Simple deco but the food is what makes this place 5 stars. read more

The only reason this doesn't get a 5 star is that atmosphere is not great. The food however was delicious, fresh sushi. Pictures are the dishes we ordered and the Nigri Sushi was hot compared to other places. Would one here again. read more

Yelp reviewers have never let me down, until now. This place had a lot of things going for it: the cute decor, the nice lady at the counter, and the decent prices. I really wanted to like this place. However when we ordered the salmon sushi bento and ahi nigiri bento, what came out looked like the questionable sushi from the grocery store. The salmon sushi bento did not come with the depicted 4 pc salmon nigiri but instead a rainbow nigiri set that I did not care for. The lady noticed my confusion and offered to replace it but looking at the ahi nigiri bento that my boyfriend ordered, I'd settle for the one cooked shrimp nigiri rather than the old, dry, ticking time bomb that they tried to pass off as fresh ahi nigiri. Who knew what the salmon would look like? I'm still puzzled at the fact that they messed up our order considering we were the only ones there. The sushi all had an absurd amount of rice, the miso was watered down, and the salad was decent at best. Either I came at the wrong time or this place is way overrated, but I'm not willing to venture to this place again to find out. read more

First off, this review focuses more on the interaction I had with staff rather than the actual food. I live in Seattle, WA and I wanted to buy my parents dinner. I went onto DoorDash and saw that there was an option to order through them and have the food picked up by my parents. I went ahead and placed the order, set the time for 6:15PM (Honolulu time), and went about the rest of my night. At around 4PM (Honolulu time), I received a text via. DoorDash saying that my order was picked up--confused, I called Honolulu Sushi and was greeted by an older lady. I explained that the order was supposed to be delayed and that my parents weren't supposed to pick up the order until 6:15PM (Honolulu time). She was obviously confused, but reassured me that my parents could pick up the order at the time that was actually scheduled on my E-Receipt. Fast forward, my parents went to Honolulu Sushi to pick up the order and was told that the order was handed off to a DoorDash driver. I called back, and was greeted by another lady. She explained that a DoorDash driver picked up the food earlier in the day, which didn't make any sense because I never input a delivery address nor did DoorDash deliver to my parents condo. I explained that she must've made a mistake because the receipt clearly stated that the order was for pickup, but she refused to admit that they might have given the food to a complete stranger/mixed up an order. She was EXTREMELY rude and told me to call DoorDash. She proceeded to annoyingly say, "You paid DoorDash, right?!?! Well then you call them" to which my response was, "Yes, I did pay DoorDash, but you received the majority of that money". I ended up calling DoorDash customer service and the CS Rep. was also very confused as to why the employee gave the food to a DoorDash driver because their records also showed that no one was sent there. He explained that it's 100% the restaurants mistake and that corporate would contact them to re-discuss the expectations of being a partner. My dad spent some time going back and forth with the employee and they eventually remade the order, but not without a preventable 15-20 minute banter. If you are the owner of this restaurant, you really need to think about the attitude/intentions of your employees. I spent $50+ and would've loved to continue supporting a local business, but wow, I've never experienced such disrespectful employees in my life. Now to the food, I personally did not taste the food, but my parents told me that it was pretty bad. Low quality fish, mayo covered rolls, etc. read more

I think this is a great sushi takeout place, but not the best for dining in. They were understaffed and swamped. I've never had this happen, but they ran out of iced water and forgot to put avocado on a few of our rolls. The woman working the dining area was great though and did the best she could to make ends meet and gave us bottled water on the house and separated our checks at the end. read more

it was our first time here and it far exceeded our expectations. the location was easy to locate and a lot of parking, we parked near likelike restaurant. the fish tasted so fresh and my favorites has to be the tempura and hamachi. the decoration is cute and it has a rustic design. read more

Thank you Yelp for helping me find this place!! Incredible nigiri and poke! I'm from the mainland, and all the bigger now expensive places were booked solidly. A blessing in disguise since it forced me to look a little harder. This hole in the wall place nearby to Waikiki is a gem! read more

I'm blown away by this place. The food is beyond description. The staff are so friendly. The prices are ridiculous. The fish is so fresh. I love this place. I brought my boyfriend here three times last week and he didn't get bored! read more

The family and I had a great dinner here just now. All of the fish was good quality and very fresh. The staff was very friendly. The food was pretty quick. I'm sure it took a little while to make, but we didn't even notice, because we had miso soup and salad for appetizer. Overall, a good experience. read more

The sushi here is very good and the service is great. But do not rely on the old photos of the menu on Yelp. Menu photos from 2017 are old and totally different from what they have today. The April 2018 photos of the menu are current. read more

very friendly and clean. we had honolulu bento which was really ono and the spicy ahi poke bowl which was ono as well, but it was a little too spicy for my 11 yo son. i liked the heat, and usually he can handle it too. for the price though, you can't go wrong! read more

The sushi is fresh, very flavorful and it's within my price range! I love the idea that it's just down around the corner from where I live and I can just walk there. My favorite is the Dynamite and I still have more of the menu to try ;) This is a cozy little place where you can just be yourself and not worry about having to dress up or break your wallet for some good food =) Definitely +++++ read more

I really enjoyed their dynamite roll! It's a clean little shop where you can grab a quick bite or takeout sushi. I love that you can pick the type of fish you want for their party platters. There is a wait time if they are busy but it's fine as they do apologize and since there are only 2-3 people working I totally understand but I think the owner works there herself so the quality is better than similar places and it's fresh. Call ahead for takeout to cut your wait time. Oh and the portion of the rolls are larger than other places. read more

It's clean, they use fresh ingredients and pretty cheap. I had the nigiri and they provided pretty large slabs of fish. I'd go back for sure. read more

their menu contains not only popular types of sushi but chicken, salad, etc. the owner sat and had great conversation with us stating the fish is always freshly bought from the fish auction every morning. portions were amazingly generous and the salad and dressing were simple but delicious! free drink when you do yelp! read more

Honolulu Sushi - top was dynamite maki and bottom is California maki with 3 inari - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place wasn't tasty at all. I'm from California and it reminded me of the grocery store sushi they sell. It does come with a extra small soup and salad but I was bummed out when she told me they don't have glasses of water. I had to buy bottles of Costco water they sold for $1 each. I didn't use the restroom my boyfriend did but you it's in a shopping center so you had to use a key and walk or take elevator upstairs. The gal was kinda quiet not welcoming but very nice. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

Delicious sushi rolls!! The rolls are rather large as well! Well prepared, quick service, great place to eat sushi!

Delicious sushi, huge portion for the price. We got the Maki platter. The fish was fresh and the rolls were amazing. Excellent service, friendly, prompt and one of the better sushi restaurants I have been too. Give it a try you won't be disappointed it was great and the owners were super nice. read more

I like sushi and free stuff, both which they offer. As of this writing (2/23/16), you get free drink and miso soup with student ID! Love it. The staff was friendly and quick. The menu is all written on an easy to see wall chalk board with pictures at the front. Not much seating, but the sushi tastes fresh. Highly recommend for some quick grab-n-go sushi bentos. read more

The food was delicious! I ordered the shrimp tempura roll with the set that comes with the miso soup and salad. My husband ordered the Teri chicken sushi bento. I tried the teriyaki chicken and it also had an amazing taste. The dressing on the salad was tasty. Staff was friendly and we were served in a timely manner. The lady who took our order asked where we were visiting from and it ends up being that her sister works at a restaurant located in our city. What a small world! We've been to that restaurant as well and the food has been delicious too! read more

Unfortunate experience from a 4.5+ yelp rated establishment. Ahi lovers set was edible, but not much more than that. I have had equivalent sushi as my mainland grocery store. Wasabi was dull, soy was the saltiest I've ever tasted. Prices were ok, but maybe still too high for the quality I tasted. read more

Nice service but not the 5 star we expected by a long shot. No Soy paper on any hand rolls, excessive rice in every roll and hand roll and no Hamachi (Yellow Tail) limited rolls, most spicy and such little fish because of the extra rice. Won't return but good luck to the rest who fall for the 5 star review. See ya. read more

The service was awesome. Don't know her name but she explained everything on the menu and assisted in what I would like to my preference. The owner also offered me a free drink for waiting and gave me a free miso soup. And to make it better the sushi was so good!! The volcano was so flavorful and very satisfying. My gf had the Dynamite roll and she loved it being she really doesn't like rice. Glad a good sushi place opened near me!! I would reccomend this place for great quick sushi. read more

Honolulu sushi is my new favorite sushi place. Fish, Maki and bowl everything is wonderful. Cashier is so nice. Come and try to eat Hawaii no.1 sushi place read more

Got lucky when stopping by the shopping center and found this! We ordered a couple of bowls (Spicy Ahi, and Chicken Katsu) and ate there. The quality of the food was great and the service was friendly. The atmosphere was very relaxing and the restaurant itself was clean and cared for. Just be warned that the Spicy Ahi for us at least was a bit spicier than we are used to but it was still great! Half way through our meal we decided to order a platter to take home for get together. It was the dynamic roll I believe? With shrimp tempura inside and spicy ahi on top. It was a great deal with how much we got and it was ready to go by the time we were done eating! Needless to say it did not last long at our party, everyone loved it! read more

Excellent rolls. Had the Dynamite and the Hawaiian Ahi. Only complaint was that the slices were just too big.

This place is a hidden gem on Keeaumoku. I went to check it out, due the yelper reviews. I was greeted and asked how I was doing, so I told her the truth and said I was starving. The lady was more than gracious in giving me recommendations and we settled (with help from her young son) on the Spicy Ahi set. She took pitty on me and even brought me Miso soup which was not part of my order. I must have looked like I was gonna fall out without some fast nourishment, lol!!! excellent price for the service, food and quality of all wrapped up in great bundle. My new regular hangout. read more

If they served adult beverages, I would have given five stars. Very good sushi for an even greater value. In a city where the prices are hiked up all over, it's fantastic to find this gem where you can get quality food for a reasonable price. A bit of a hike for us out-of-towners, but it was worth the walk. I had one of the Nigiri Bento meals, and it filled me to the top. I would have loved a good Japanese beer to accompany the meal, but that was not an option, so a soda had to suffice. The staff was extremely friendly. You should definitely check out this little place for sushi. read more

Love there sushi so good. One of the best sushi places I've been too in a long time. Nice staff and good food. A must go too.

Delicious and affordable!!!!! Hamachi was grrrrreat!!!!! Great service and location.

Super cute place for sushi. I got a bunch of hand rolls and the price was reasonable. Sushi was fresh and excellent customer service. It's also very clean inside. A great place to stop in when you need a quick bite. They also give you a stamp card so when you fill it up you get a free hand roll. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The location is great, not busy at all, and their food is delicious!! We found this place through yelp and it is now our favorite sushi spot. 1. Their prices are great! 2. You will not find their portion sizes and prices anywhere else on island! Their hand rolls are under $3 and they're the biggest hand rolls I've seen for that price. When they brought out our dynamite maki order, we were so surprised because it was plentiful! 3. *Most important* My husband and I love sushi and their food is really good! Now we know exactly where to go whenever we are craving sushi. 4. The environment and decor is really cute. They have a rustic vibe with wooden mix-matched benches and a black board wall. Plus it's very clean! 5. Customer service is great! It's operated by two sweet ladies. One night about 45 minutes before closing I was craving sushi so we headed there after work, cashier gave us extra soup and sides on the house (it was a cold rainy night). This is what sets aside businesses, when they make you feel like home! Already craving for our next stop and we went last night! Overall, delicious food and great place! read more

This restaurant is awesome! The sushi is delicious and the service is great :) highly recommend!
