    #3 Ahi n Salmon Signature Bowl Small - so fresh and delicious
    Jessica W.

    Just as good as I remember! Impressive poke bowl for a food court! The only bummer is they don't have fresh ginger.

    Vivian C.

    The customer service was amazing though , Aside from the exceptional food, the staff at Waikiki were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to explain the different options and flavors, making sure that every customer felt comfortable and satisfied. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness added to the overall dining experience. It's delicious and satisfying with all the flavors and feels so healthy would get it every day if I lived here . It's in the Royal Hawaiian food court where you can validate parking or I just walked here from my hotel .

    Pretty solid poke located in the food court at the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. Everything was clean and tasted great

    Salmon and Fried Chicken
    Annie D.

    Fresh. Simple and good. I only tried the salmon, so I don't know about their ahi tuna.

    Ben T.

    I just had lunch here and I thought it was excellent! I had the #1 and the poke was fresh and the mochiko chicken was tasty without being overly salty. All the vegetables were fresh and the rice was definitely a higher quality than your typical takeout. Additionally, the staff was very friendly and helpful. I will be going back for sure!

    Medium Ahi n Salmon Signature Bowl
    Alan D.

    My group wanted to eat something quick nearby and there was the food court located near our hotel. With so many things to choose from, I settled on this poke place to try. Salmon and Tuna: They have more of a preset menu, and I ended up choosing salmon and tuna. All the toppings were also displayed to choose from, so I chose for all except seaweed. Overall, it was not bad. A bit expensive being $20 for a medium bowl, but still tasty. The fish tasted fresh to me, but the amount was a bit small to pay for that. Still, the toppings and everything proved to be a filling meal. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again

    Ahi Poke bowl + mochiko chicken bowl
    Kelly N.

    Found this spot while searching for a quick lunch in Waikiki. Was sad that Ezo Giku was gone, so yelped a few spots, and was impressed by the 4 stars. Friendly service with the staff kindly waiting for us to decide on the options, and appreciated the half mayo/half spicy mayo option. I confirmed that I still don't like raw fish, sadly, but I enjoyed the crunchy mochiko chicken alternative, and my poke-loving family members said they would come back, hence the 5 stars. It definitely hit the spot since I was missing my veggies on vacation. My only negative comment is I felt it was a little too salty. So might ask them to skip the furikake (seaweed/sesame seed/salt topping) next time. P.S. A warning on the Lilikoi Lychee Hawaiian Sun: not a fan--lychee was too artifical tasting, so will go back to my strawberry guava/ guava/ lilikoi/POG faves.

    One of the best pokes I ever had. It seems like everything is fresher on the island. I ordered the ahi tuna/salmon combo poke and it did not disappoint. Add some more fresh ingredients and sauce it up nicely and you've got a poke bowl of excellence. Service was awesome and the place has a cute island vibe to it. Definitely coming back for more.

    Jaimee S.

    What a beautiful array of colors. To be quite honest, this was the most beautiful poke' bowl I have ever eaten! It was also one of the most delicious too. The freshness of the fish didn't go unnoticed and I loved that it was different! overall it really stood out to me above a lot of the poke places on the island. The service was great as they were very accommodating and helpful. I really loved its location sitting right in the malls foodcourt and my husband and I ate every bite! We will definitely be back again when in the area

    Chicken and Salmon Signature Bowl
    Helene S.

    Needed to grab a quick bite after a busy day. So easy to order a bowl to go. Choose between a poke bowl or a poke burrito. Add ahi tuna, salmon or mochiko chicken. Served on a bed of white rice, there are so many choices for add ons. Lettuce. Edamame. Shredded nori. Seaweed salad. Kimchee. Sliced red onions. Fried onions. Tomatoes. Pineapple. Finish with mild or spicy sauce. Quick, easy and delicious. A great option from the Lanai Food Court in the Royal Hawaiian Center.

    #3 ahi and Ahi n Salmon Signature Bowl Small
    Nancy L.

    First time having poke in Hawaii! Yum! The bowl has everything ... seaweed salad, pineapple, furitake flakes, edamame, imitation crab meat, crispy onions... I had the tuna and salmon combo, it mixed in slightly spicy sauce. The only criticism is that it was a tad salty for me but otherwise delicious!

It tastes good, but I personally didn't want so much. They also unexpectedly put some mayo on the hamachi nigiri pieces. I would have preferred it plain. Service was friendly and the space was really nice. Price was reasonable. Great date spot. I will definitely be back.

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!

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.

We had a party of 7, and the table was just barely big enough to hold all the dishes that we ordered. There's a touch screen order system to which we had minimal interaction with the servers/food runners. Though when we did, they were efficient, though not that friendly. The sushi chef also stopped by our table, to check on us, as I think he was shocked by the amount of food that we ordered though we devoured it all. There's about 4 sushi chefs in the front making the hand rolls and everything else is made in the back, with a pre-made rice machine, presumably for quality control/keeping costs down. Overall, we had a nice lunch, service was quick and efficient, and will most likely come back again.
