We came here for a late lunch and after eyeing the spot for a very long time, it did not disappoint! This is not like any other kaiten sushi place, so don't expect it to be. You will order everything off of a tablet at your table. They have many options including classic delicious Japanese plates like karaage, firefly squid, and other "otsumami" type items. The lunch specials are a good way to get nigiri at a reasonable price. We got the tuna special and the premium plate. It comes with miso soup and chawanmushi which were both delicious. The fish on each nigiri were super fresh and cut very thick. The sake selection was also very nice and we were able to enjoy a couple bottles :). You will spend money here, but it's 100% worth it. The service was very attentive and friendly as well. read more

We came here for our first night dinner in Honolulu. We made prior reservations, although it is probably not needed, considering we arrived at 8pm. Their ordering system is through tablets in front of the seats, which is just like the places in Japan. The staff were all Japanese and most likely, the sushi chefs were also Japanese. They had many different selections of sushi, as well as some hot dishes. The fish were extremely flavorful. Upon the order being placed, the food arrives within 5- 8 minutes. Prices are acceptable, in the Honolulu area. Overall, we had a very good and enjoyable dinner. What a good way to start our Hawaii vacation. !!! read more

We were sent here by one of their more private restaurants a little more pricey but we didn't even look at reviews for either before going we just saw the first place and thought man we will go there for a special occasion ($300 per person) and we will try this place tonight as suggest SO KINDLY by the lady working! Parking was surprisingly accessible and my husband who just got back from 2 years in Japan said it felt like he was back there! That was my first time ordering from an iPad and it coming on the belt, I loved it because you see what you're about to order! It is a little sad when the same thing you ordered passes you The food... the bluefin was incredible but the 3 piece salmon! Oh my goodness it was divine! The Philly rolls were amazing, the cream cheese tasted soo good! We definitely plan on coming back! I was not a big fan of the desert but I know it's just not my style, not that it's bad just culturally different. It is still a little pricey here but it is reasonable enough I would say we will probably use it as one of our somewhere nicer places but doesn't need to be a special occasion if that makes sense! The setup is very enjoyable as well being able to see them preparing everything before it comes on the belt! read more

I heard Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera just dropped their Summer Menu which is only available through August 31, so I brought my mom with me to try it out. We impressed by the amazing service and beautiful dinning area... even when you sitting at the counter it feel like a high end sushi place in Japan. The Garlic Ponzu Fatty Tuna was rich, buttery, and balanced perfectly by the ponzu. The Seared Yuzu Jalapeño Tai Snapper added just enough citrus and heat without overpowering the fish. My favorite of the night was probably the Aburi Kinmedai with Umami Oil & Lemon--the light sear brought out the natural sweetness of the fish while the lemon kept everything bright and refreshing. I also really enjoyed the Oil-Soy Tai Snapper with Fresh Salsa, which felt perfect for summer, and the Crispy Spicy Tuna Bites added a nice crunchy contrast to all the nigiri. What I appreciate most about Onodera is that even though it's conveyor-belt sushi, the quality consistently feels elevated. The fish is fresh, the flavors are thoughtfully balanced, and every plate looks as good as it tastes. The Summer Menu is available for a limited time through August 31, so if you're a sushi lover, it's worth making a visit before these seasonal specials disappear. read more

The quality of the sushi was excellent and definitely felt premium. Ordering from the iPad was convenient, and everything came out quickly on the conveyor belt. My biggest complaint is the iPad menu. It felt cluttered and is harder to navigate than it should be with all the tabs and pages. It's like trying to find hidden items. The selection is also pretty limited, so there isn't much variety. I can see what they were going for with the Japan-style conveyor belt experience, but it doesn't quite compare. The staff was friendly and efficient, though there isn't much service involved beyond seating you and clearing plates. Overall, good quality food, but I was hoping for a wider selection. I'd go again, but maybe once a year similar to many people that've gone here. read more

IYKYK: 20 restaurants, 3 countries, and 15 time Michelin Star recipient. Found in Japan, China, and America (in beautiful Honolulu and Houston), it's Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera! There are meals one enjoys. Meals one admires. Meals one respectfully documents, notes the flavor balance of, and later describes using words like "elegant" and "well-executed." And then there are meals that rock your world. This was one of them. Kaiten sushi, or conveyor belt sushi, is a casual, affordable Japanese dining style invented in 1958 where plates of sushi rotate on a motorized belt passing diners, allowing them to select dishes directly. Here at Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera, it's not the typical catwalk of pre-made maki rolls, nigiri, and other offering. You order off a kiosk and then it is fast-tracked to your table via sushi belt. Here at Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera, you are granted the ability to try their Edomae-style sushi for a more affordable price. Edomae-style sushi is a traditional Tokyo cuisine originating in the 1820s, featuring seafood, often cured, marinated, or simmered, served atop rice seasoned with red vinegar (akasu). It focuses on enhancing fish flavor through technique rather than just raw freshness, historically acting as fast food for 19th-century Edo residents. That said, dare I say the best meal I had during my stay on Oahu? I DARE! This was an excellent place suggested by Randy S. I really can't tell you all we had because Randy took charge but every bite? Certified bangers. Not one bad bite had. Pro-tip: If you want to feel like you are being mugged by Neptune, the God of the Sea, have the chawanmushi. Oceanic and delish! read more

High quality sushi taking me straight back to Japan. Kitchen was very obliging to our request of all vegetable tempura and it was absolutely no problem.

The first time we came here, the experience was much better. This visit was just okay. However, the fish was very fresh and the sushi was delicious.

One of my nieces favorite places.This was a whole new sushi experience for me. Order on an iPad and the food whizzes in on a conveyer belt. I felt like Judy Jetson. The food came rather quickly. It is fun to see the other orders whizzing by. I was with a group of 9 so we were at. two different booths, only one iPad per table. The pesonal service was minimal. I miss seeing the sushi chef in person. The sushi that I had was delicious and the preparations were unique (to me) the pieces were smallish, but so yummy. I would have ordered more but I was not very assertive and everyone wanted the iPad . Most of the nigiri orders were only one at the price point I am used to paying for two and I prefer the experience of sharing. My husband at the other table sampled more than I did. Deep fried Octopus and Toro, I had Yellow Tail and Carpacio, sample two rolls. Big surprise, the French fries were outstanding. The check worked out to about 50 pp. I think that was mostly my husband who enjoyed an array of dishes. As mentioned in other reviews, the bill stacks up quickly. I given them 4 stars for uniqueness, mostly. read more

We ordered the chirashi sushi through Uber. As you can see in the picture, it looks just like a treasure box. The sushi rice is made with red vinegar instead of regular rice vinegar. Red vinegar contains more minerals and amino acids than standard rice vinegar, so that it is healthier. I was really pleased to enjoy this beautiful box of sushi at home without even stepping outside. And the taste was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much! read more

This is one of my favorite sushi restaurants to get premium bluefin tuna. This conveyer belt sushi restaurant is nothing like Genki. The quality of the fish and food is top notch. I usually go for the chu-toro or o-toro, but a lot of their other menu items are just as delicious. The quality of service and food is the same as their restaurants in Japan -- which is excellent. This is very much an order on iPad and get your food type of place. But nonetheless, the service is still great. The restaurant is bustling with activity, but still somehow feels intimate. It is on the pricier end for a conveyer belt sushi place, but, like I said, the quality of food is worth it. read more

The sushi here is super high quality and I really appreciate that they use soy sushi rice. It gives everything this subtle flavor boost that makes the bites hit even harder. Dining here feels like a whole experience too. Everyone gets their own little iPad to order from, which makes it feel super smooth and kind of futuristic, and the whole place has this luxe vibe that makes you want to sit and stay for a bit. My absolute favorite is the salmon sushi. It's insanely fresh and has this natural hint of sweetness that's addictive. The fatty tuna is my second fave, rich and buttery, but I do wish the pieces were a little bigger. You definitely end up ordering a lot to get full, so the bill climbs fast. One thing I really love is that you can adjust the rice portion on every item. Tiny detail, huge win. Overall, pricey but worth it if you're in the mood to treat yourself. read more

High end high quality sushi! Ate at their Tokyo restaurant and was excited to try their Hawaii location. It is a clean establishment, but parking lot is small and can be difficult. The sushi is amazing and the fish is fresh, melts in your mouth. You definitely pay the price for a good quality sushi but it is delicious. Once we ordered the sushi in the app, food came out quickly on the conveyor belt which was neat. Prices are 2-3 times the price in Japan but would still eat here again. read more

Very cheap place to get otoro, but only when they have their half off specials. At regular price this place is on par with most places for sushi. Recommend following them on Instagram to see when they do their half off deals, it's usually twice a year and they do it for ahi and salmon. read more

I was surprised just how good the sushi is here. Don't get fooled by the conveyor belt. Not cheap, but the food was worth it.

I came back tonight after two weeks away and was so touched that the head chef came out personally to say goodbye before leaving for Houston. His kindness and gratitude truly reflect the spirit of this restaurant. Every visit here has been an excellent experience -- the food, the freshness, the presentation, and especially the warm hospitality. I will truly miss Chef Sam and wish him great success in his new journey. Thank you for all the wonderful meals and memories -- this restaurant remains one of my favorites! Yuki the head waitress is awesome as well! read more

If you're craving high quality sushi and want big vibes then this is the place for you. Their sushi prices are on the higher side but you can taste that it is reflected well in the quality of their fish. After you're seated you order from the tablets at the table. The food then comes to you via revolving belt which was really fun. Standout food items to us were all of the scallop sushi's! The scallop were really large and tasted very fresh. Service was good they checked on us often and refilled out drinks. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also really nice, you can tell they put a lot of thought into it. The only negative thing was because their sushi rice is already seasoned pretty heavily we did find some items to be a bit on the salty side. However, the quality of the fish was so good we'll definitely be back! read more

Located on King Street, formerly King Sushi. This is an upscale Japanese sushi restaurant, where you order from their tablet and your sushi arrives on the conveyor belt. Upscale, authentic cuts of sushi. I recommend their blue fin tuna 3 piece sampler, which includes standard, chu-toro, and otoro nigiri sushi. Their salmon 3 piece sampler was another delicious offer of their high quality nigiri sushi. I really enjoyed their seasoned sushi rice, which almost tasted like fried rice. Be sure to order their chawan mushi with snow crab and ikura. read more

Reeeally pricy! But fish quality is totally worth it if you can afford the splurg! Very clean and modern Japanese style inside. You can choose between booth or bar. We had our baby so we chose booth.there are high chairs and a changing table in the women's bathroom if needed. My favorite dishes were the chawanmushi, amaebi, deep fried fish heads, soysauce marinated akami, and uni dish comparing green uni vs purple uni. We went during happy hour and I suggest just getting the beer. I got a lemon drink and it was really light on the alcohol. The bill for two people, 4 drinks, about 10 to12ish dishes (not sure) was about $300. read more

I heard good things about Kaiten Sushi from some locals. I decided to give it a whirl w/ a couple of friends from LA. This location is one of two in the US (the other one is in Houston). Positives: Super fresh sashimi and bluefin tuna. We liked the sashimi so much we ordered it twice; Freshly grated wasabi; Amazing spider hand roll that has minimal rice; Pneumatic conveyor system to deliver food. The foregoing is very common in Japan. Negatives: Uni was not fresh; The walls to the tables are too high. You cannot people watch. Unfortunately, the foregoing cannot be remedied bc the walls support the conveyor system; The ordering system took a while to understand; Yumiko (?) was super nice and helped us navigate the ordering system. All of the staff is super friendly and nice. Our dinner for 3 was reasonable at $100 each w/ liquor but b4 tip. Both of my friends really enjoyed the food, and the uniqueness of the restaurant. read more

Came here during my last Honolulu trip because my kid likes conveyer belt sushi and I want real sushi :) Made a reservation and got seated right away. You order on the iPad at the table. We tried Chu toro, scallop, a bunch of other real nigiri. We also ordered mixed tempura with veggies and one shrimp, it was quite expensive for $12. Chicken karaage was good, but pricey too. Service was minimum. You had to get waiter's attention to get anything, not attentive. The sushi quality was ok, not the best not the worst. Overall value is poor because you spend a lot of money eating ok sushi with minimum service. Will skip this place next time. read more

Very good quality for cheap. You get what you pay for though. Sometimes the slices can be pretty thin. If you like specialty pieces like Nodoguro or Mehikari this is the place to go. But service is almost non existent which is fine but just be aware. You order everything through the iPad. Totally no frills just when you are craving good sushi and don't care so much about the overall experience. There is something to be said about it being fun to have everything show up at your seat but it's also dangerous if you're like me and over order! read more

One year anniversary for the Honolulu Kaiten location (first in the US)! Anniversary special last weekend was half off their wagyu nigiri and aburi toro. This weekend (April 25-27) - all their bluefin tuna is half off! That's right! For regular, chutoro and otoro nigiri, all the one piece, four piece and eight piece sets are half off!! Made reservations about a week in advance for today. Very efficient and clean. 90 minutes to eat. The food came out lightning fast. The regular ahi was so good this day!! Chutoro was good too. I got one of the snow crab and ikura chawanmushi, but it was a little fishy and unpleasant this time. Not terrible but not good either. Maybe a one off. The soy braised ikura nigiri is always so worth it. The salmon set (salmon, salmon belly, aburi salmon) was particular good. I think Kaiten Onadera definitely stepped up their game this time around. The sushi rice is as good as ever but they've improved tremendously on the ratio of rice to raw fish. The fish slices on the nigiri were substantially thicker than the times I went to the grand opening in Houston and the Honolulu location in Nov 2024. Portioning on the "less rice" option was perfect! Not too much rice. Could really taste how amazing the bluefin was tonight! So very pleased. Even the wasabi and ginger portions are better per order. As predicted, Kaiten is so so worth it during their specials. Keep following their social media to plan your reservations on good specials! read more

Amazing sushi- fresh & tasty. The sushi comes on a lane belt. You order on an iPad in front of you. There's a cheerful sound when your food arrives. Classy place - not too loud. Temperature in the restaurant is comfortable. Parking is tight. It's located in the pucks alley "area" but not in pucks alley (if that makes sense). They took over "the sushi king" location. The price warrants the fresh fish and tasty options. We will definitely come again!! read more

Dined here for the first time tonight in a group of four. Total came out to under $500 excluding tip. It's expensive, but it's quality sushi! Their omakase branch is located in Kapahulu and starts at $300/person. Everything can be ordered through the iPad on the counter, including tea, gari, and wasabi. I believe there's a maximum of 4 items that you can place per order (which didn't make sense to me because you can place as many orders as you want, you don't have to wait for the order to arrive to your table). The iPad was a little tricky and glitchy but you can manage. It's stationed against the conveyor belt but it can be unplugged and passed around. The food was delicious! We did wish that the aburi scallops were seared a bit more. I was hoping to eat natto temaki but they only offered natto in gunkan and maki form. Otherwise, sushi was fresh and good quality. Ice cream was enjoyed, although the kurogoma didn't taste as expected. It was lighter than what I'm used to, but still very creamy. Warabi mochi was 10/10 but also pricey for the small quantity. After you're done, you can close out on the iPad and you have to pay at the cashier desk up in the front of the restaurant before leaving. Overall, don't come here if you're hungry and looking for a cheap meal.. but if you're looking for high quality sushi and willing to spend the money for it, I recommend! read more

Came here during their 1st anniversary special and the fish was amazing! The special was half off toro options and my friends and I definitely took advantage of this! Also tried the salmon, anago! My boyfriend had the uni which is really enjoyed as well! You order through a tablet at the table and the sushi arrives on the conveyor belt. The tablet also notifies you which item is arriving. You can also use the tablet to order drinks, ginger, wasabi, or just to ask for service. They have a parking lot but it is shared with other businesses so depending on time I recommend going a little early just in case. Overall food was really good but not sure how often I'd go just due to cost. It's a little pricey if it's just to go out for sushi. read more

Ordered via Doordash - I got the regular sushi box and it was a great option for good quality sushi at home. The rice was pretty flavorful - I think they add soy sauce or vinegar to it? It is on the pricier side, but that's what you should expect when you get Japan at home. read more

Service people better to match your prices. You've lost the essence of taking care of your customers.

The old Sushi King location near Fukuya. Definitely not your everyday Kozo/Genki kinda sushi place unless you got some bucks to drop. Me, hubs, baby spent $300. Everything ordered on the pad thing, and most things delivered on the belt. The waitstaff dropped beers and a few other dishes...maybe the fried stuff? Uni special so that was the reason to go. But they were out of the Purple. What does that mean? No clue. I like what I like, but I don't always know what it is. But the Green was pretty damn good. We each had 2 orders of 2 piece ones...shared slivers of uni with baby. She was happy. She and hubs shared edamame. - Fried shrimp heads were good. - Fried tako good. Baby ate few pieces. Thought would be too tough, but she just kept chewing...and only spit out 1 piece after ran out of taste. - Baby had chawan mushi...that was tasty. - Overflowing Ikura was pretty good. Hubs stole all the overflow. - Salmon 3 kinds was super good. - Toro 3 kinds super good. - Snapper was pretty good. - Bunch of other sushi all ono. Only thing we didn't like and didn't even finish was the braised hamachi. Cooked well. But the sauce was overwhelming. Way to sweet and just too much. Could barely taste the fish. Good for people who like to say they eat fish but probs wouldn't touch an aku. Left full. Workers pleasant but almost like they weren't even there. Go back? Probably a one and done type place but good experience. read more
