Kozo Sushi - Kahala - Fried Chicken Bento - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Not too bad! The location is very convenient to my home, which makes it an easy choice. The food was fresh, and the service was good. They're not typically busy, so it's quick and efficient. It's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot since there isn't any seating inside. read more

I ordered 3 spam musubis today . I was surprised and disappointed that the meat used was not the traditional real spam with teriyaki sauce. The protein used tasted old meat. Not going to order this again! read more

One Saturday late afternoon after church I drove to Kozo Sushi to get or buy dinner. I bought mini chili chicken with rice. It was unbelievable that it was bad. I got served with terrible, poisonous dinner. It sickened me. The next morning I woke up with terrible headache and felt dizzy and my bedroom was going around and around, at first, I did not know what was happening to me. I was sick to my stomach and made me puke, and poop at the same time. I did not know I was hit with bad, poisonous dinner. I was told by someone that I was a victim of "food poisoning". Yeah, I was too weak to be outraged , just vomiting and felt lightheaded. The following 2 days on Monday, I called Kozo Sushi, a guy answered and inquired if manager is in, he said, no manager, I told the guy that I have been served with bad chili chicken. I told him that the rice was rotten, spoiled and made me sick. I demanded refund, the guy told me the manager is not in yet. Told him I will be going to the restaurant to get my refund. When I got there, there was no resistance and I got my refund. There was no resistance. Do not buy Chili chicken with rice ever again! read more

It's always good to stop by here for a quick bite after a beach session. Food here is good , great service as well. But man has the prices gone up across the board, very nice clean inside this restaurant. There's no dine in , but there's tables outside. Parking can be a bite challenge here as this mall can get busy. read more

It's take out Parking is in the lot right outside of Kahala Mall by McDonald's. There is plenty of spaces but can get busy at lunch. Service here is always consistent. Straight to the point. There used to be dine in. But strictly take out. But there are tables outside. Food is consistent too. Everything taste the same pretty much all the time. My go-to is either the Dragon Don or Hurricane Maki. Can't go wrong with either. Got shrimp tempura and some raw fish to go with it. read more

Wow - I'm impressed with the sushi! Delicious! Haven't ordered from Kozo Sushi for a couple of years as I thought the sushi was so-so, but due to a last minute invite to a potluck I ordered the Kama'aina platter. Everybody said the sushi was very tasty. Great presentation and great flavor. Thanks Kozo sushi! read more

Have been going to Kozo Sushi Kahala for many years but unfortunately am disappointed this year that they significantly increased their prices. Just a heads up to expect paying more for the same amount and sometimes less. read more

Visited on 9/18/25 @3:54pm Ordered 2 lunchboxes. The fish appeared discolored and old. Did not taste good. Very disappointed as I had very good fish there in the past. The egg also did not taste good. The best tasting item was a inari. read more

My friend K recommended this location so had to come myself. I found out that the 2 owners are BTS Army in which they love Jimin and V so I gave a lady 2 freebies for her and her friend. There are BT21 merchandise on the shelve. They had a special menu which is exclusive to their business. Our order was unagi bowl and tsunami roll. They tasted yummy. read more

Love the crunch!Perfect sushi rice loaded with crispy tempura bits,potato chips, fried onions, and tobiko. Wasn't that spicy though. Like how they put the toppings separately so it doesn't get soggy. read more

Kozo Sushi - Kahala - Crunchy Spicy Ahi Don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Picked up lunch here. Ordered the shrimp tempura crunchy roll and Hoso Maki variety. The cashier at this location, did not understand or speak much English. When I asked a question regarding the combination meals she appeared not to understand me. I repeated the question several times and her response was not responsive. After I was able to place my order, I waited for a few minutes. The service was quick. The storefront was aged and small. When I tried the shrimp tempura roll, the rice was terrible! Very soft and sticky and zero flavor. No crunchiness to the shrimp tempura roll at all. In addition, the ahi nigiri looked bad. Almost like it wasn't fish at all (see photos). I was really hungry and tried the nigiri and a piece of the roll. I stopped because the nigiri tasted odd and the rice was horrible. I just could not eat it. That's how bad it was. I didn't even try the hosomaki. It's in my refrigerator now. I will not order from this place again. Too bad. The Kozo sushi place that I used to buy sushi from has since closed due to the pandemic. That former place tasted 100% better. read more

A family staple for me... having Kozo california handrolls is one of my earliest food memories! This location is spacious and clean. No seating but take your food to the mall or the beach. Staff is friendly and they are always super quick! It's a no frills place and the sushi is solid. I come here for decently priced sushi & am never disappointed! Love the S-Nigiri set and their tsunami rolls. read more

Nothing fancy yet basic & reasonably priced sushi rolls are my favorite here at Kozo Sushi Kahala. The place looks clean. The service is decent and fast. My favorite used to be Ahi Tartare Maki but since it's discontinued, my new favorite is Crunchy Spicy Ahi Maki. I don't put all the crunchy stuff they give me, but maybe a half of that is enough for me. read more

THE SUSHI WAS MUCH BETTER THE LAST TIME I WAS HERE. The rice was way too soft and a little too sweet. The soba tasted like it was previously frozen. Easy online ordering though. I'll check back later to see if they food has improved. read more

I have been coming to kozo since I was a kid. Something about the crab cucumber rolls is so comforting. Now, I order them for my kids and well as the egg maki which they love. I like how they have expanded their menu to include bentos, poke bowls and hot soups. My favorite is the chicken katsu bento that comes with 2 California rolls, rice, lettuce and tomato. The sauce on the katsu is like a creamy aioli and it's so good. However the chicken is so thin and it's been over cooked lately. I always call and order ahead because they do take a very long time especially if it's busy. It's always clean and always consistent sushi. I will continue to support them especially since it's convenient and healthier option than traditional fast food. read more

Kozo Sushi - Kahala - Cucumber Maki was only like $1.99 and the kids love it - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Growing up, Kozo Sushi was our go-to to-go sushi. And it still is. The menu is significantly longer, but I can always get a (canned) tuna roll and egg maki and it tastes *exactly* the same as it did many years ago. This Kozo has been around my whole life, although it used to be next to Ba-Le (who remembers that?) and the old bowling alley (and that?!). The new/current iteration is clean and service is still efficient, but there's never been a place to sit since covid. The make your own bento thing is genius but extremely confusing. Although, pretty much if you can dream it, you can probably order it. Also get the dragon don. read more

Lunch in Kahala, Honolulu, Hawaii... I don't know why I'm always hungry... Haha! Good thing I have my Yelp app to figure out what to eat! The closest, quickest, and best alternative was Kozo Sushi - a trusted name! Located in the building between McDonald's and Kahala Mall, Kozo Sushi shares the parking lot with businesses such as Jersey Mike's Subs and Share Tea. As soon as I entered the takeout-only shop, my eyes landed on a chirashi-don poster. I decided right away that it's what I would get! Ordering at the counter and paying with credit card was a breeze. I stood in the corner to wait for my order and watched many customers pick up their takeout orders and party platters... Wow! This place is kind of popular! When my Chirashi Don arrived, I took photos right away. The Ebi, Hamachi, tako, nori, cucumber, egg, tobiko, kanpyo, ahi, and side of ginger all looked fresh! I drove to the beach and ate my lunch there! Delicious! Ahhh... Happy tummy! I'll be back if I'm in the area again! read more

Parking right infront which is super convenient. Located next to Kahala McDonald's. I love coming here for lunch as they have so many different lunch specials here. All Kozo sushi's have different types of specials, don't forget! This location is my favorite in terms of variety. I love the chicken katsu combo. It comes with sushi on the side as well as this yummy sauce on the chicken! Chicken comes out so juicy and Ono. It's actually a good amount of food too! Making me hungry just thinking about it. Call in your order or order at Kozo Sushi, either way works. They make your food pretty quickly. Of course , if you get anything fried, it'll take a little longer...but worth it!! read more

I've been going the Kozo Sushi - Kahala for many years, but lately my orders have never been right. Today I order an Avocado Temaki and I got an Avocado Maki, and a California Maki and receive a mix Maki. I guess another place will get my business now! read more

Food was delicious and very friendly staff. I'm also happy they were open on Christmas Day.

I stop into this Kozo sushi location quite frequently as it is so conveniently located for me. I always get the spicy ahi don (not the deluxe, I love the simplicity of the regular spicy ahi don) their rice is so good, sticky and the perfect flavor; it doesn't overwhelm the fish. The spicy ahi is also so yummy and has the perfect amount of sauce. Lately I've been getting the smoked salmon hand roll as well and it is awesome! I love that you wrap it right before you eat it so that the seaweed is perfectly crunchy and not soggy at all. This time, I brought my husband home a few things he selected from menu. He was so happy to discover that he ordered too much and he couldn't finish it! The serving sizes are great. They have so many options, too which we loved! I always debate getting something different but end up getting what I know and love. They are always so quick and efficient too, and the parking is super easy! read more

Very impressed with the amount of items on their menu and the prices! Definitely recommend checking them out and supporting their business!

I love this place. Food is good and prices are even better. The salmon skin salad is my favorite!

Great food, kind employees, fast and easy service. The food is always fresh and good quality.

When In kahala and im craving sushi, Kozo is a must! I love their tsunami maki. So much taste & the teriyaki sauce just fits with the whole sushi, yum! Not dry at all! Super nice service there and you get your food super quick! The inside is very simple with their counters, no seating area so just take your food to go! I can't wait to try more of their sushi!!! read more

I absolutely love Kozo Sushi, grew up eating them always bringing a party tray to gatherings and religiously ordering for New Years which was a special treat I looked forward to. Temaki has always been my go to, each individually wrapped filled with your choice of filling you put together when you're ready all you need to do is roll it together and the magic of the freshness is right before you. All that haven't changed except the filling ...uhhh "spicy tuna no green onions please"..."it doesn't come with green onions"...oh! Okay...omg it really doesn't which is unheard of in sushi world but not only it's straight poke only no spice no flavor as well. When I first unrolled it I thought they gave me tuna mayo it was just the saddest thing I've ever had. The ume cucumber was delicious fresh veggie and perfect amount of ume but that alone isn't enough to draw me in. I asked for shoyu and they said it's rolled in with my napkins...nope! So I ate it dry...sigh this is just a sad representation of my image with Kozo, sorry no thanks but please rethink your options thank you! read more

Love coming to Kozos for a quick, inexpensive bite. They're always reliable when I'm in the mood for a snack or some lunch. My favorites consist of the crunch spicy ahi don & their spicy ahi temaki. Service wise, they're usually pretty quick with your order. I recommend calling your order in or ordering online so that you don't need to wait when you get there. The store itself is very small & cute, but clean. If you're in the mood for a quick sushi bite, I recommend Kozo's. read more

Kozo Sushi - Kahala - Crunchy Spicy Ahi Don - Sushi Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Kozo Sushi Kahala is fantastic. I usually place a phone order, because it can be quite large. I order a bit in advance to give them time to prepare the order and me time to get ready to leave. The parking lot is small, but the 4 or so stalls fronting the shop are limited to 15 minutes. Perfect. Most people are picking food up and leaving, so chances of obtaining a stall out front is good. I have not had to park in the mall parking lot, yet. The menu is quite extensive and everyone can find something they want. The quality of the ingredients is top notch. Very fresh. Sometimes I have to ask for wasabi, but most of the time, the cashier will ask me. There are no restrooms or indoor seating in this location. Social distancing signs are respected by most who shop here, and staff are very conscientious about cleanliness. read more

I really like Kozo Sushi. I think they have a great variety of sushi, sushi rolls, bowls, and sets. They even have some tofu options for vegetarians. They seem popular because they always have a lot of people around to order and pick up food. We always call ahead to order and just walk in to pick up. It's always ready and always delicious. My favorite is the spicy crunchy maki roll. Sooo delicious. We also usually get the dragon roll although in the photo we tried the dynamite. I think they're all good. My boyfriend like the s nigiri set. He thinks they provide good variety. Kozo sushi is a great place to get affordable takeout sushi. They don't have any seating. But we don't have to wait long or spend a lot. Just make sure to ask for wasabi if you want that also. I love coming here! read more

Order always ready. Nice , courteous people in person and on phone. Shop always clean and bright feeling. Sushi is good.

Easy in and out spot for takeout! Food is made to order, no indoor seating currently available. Menus are posted along the walls and windows. So many options! I ordered the Lunch Box and it came with so many pieces of nigiri and sushi - very worth it! Parking here isn't usually a problem for takeout right now since people are in and out. It's connected to several other parking lots as well. Minimal wait time, but there is also a lunch and dinner rush - popular place! read more

If you're looking for decent price sushi then kozo is a good option. Their fish isn't fresh from the auction daily and it definitely seems previously frozen based on the texture but the taste is enough to crush a craving! Their spicy ahi donburi is $7.77 (love those angel numbers) and in comparison with $14 fresh spicy ahi from other places, this can definitely be considered a go-to spot if you don't need the higher quality fish. Normally, I only eat fresh fish, however, I've been going to kozo since I was in elementary school and my mom would pick up tekka maki for our school lunch so I'm kind of a sucker for the nostalgic feeling. Kapahulu kozo remains my favorite but I decided so try Kahala since it's closer to my house. I'd come back for sure because it was exactly what I expected for the price. read more

Always consistent, and never disappoints! I've been going to this sushi spot for over 10 years. They're one of the only original stores that remain after the renovations were completed. Prices & food haven't changed much either in comparison to similar restaurants/stores. I order the Dragon Maki, but have also tried an array of items from their menu. The Tsunami Maki & Dynamite Maki are also great options. read more

I don't know if you were disappointed when the Kozo Sushi by Kahala Mall closed down but guess what? They are back again in the new complex next to McDonald's on the Long's side of Kahala Mall. There is tons of things you can order from hand rolls, hosomaki which is those mini rolls of either, cucumber, kanpyo, ume, avocado, natto, etc that is cut into 6 pieces. Many different rolls such as the dragon, dynamite, California, etc. Bentos and if course their famous party platters. Whatever your flavor I'm sure you will find something to eat. Really good for take out. If you have never been here before this is not a restaurant where you have table service. The place is very clean and there are about 10 seats to sit down and eat if you have the time to do so. read more
