First time coming here after hearing countless good things about this place. Can taste the quality. Great customer service. Was always a frequent genkis goer for the convenience but we plan on coming here more now. Small restaurant so expect a wait. I think there's only around 7 tables and because of this, I personally would be more mindful and not bring a party in double digits and take up half of the restaurant. read more

5 stars -- from quality affordable (more mainland style) sushi rolls and impeccable service! Hole in the wall vibes that still provides fresh quality sushi. #1 Tip --Write down your name/phone # on the clipboard provided outside the door as soon as possible. The wait can get long especially during peak hours! If you don't want to wait, just order through phone or in person for faster food. We waited about 35 minutes for dinner, but it was worth it. Recommended: --Titanic Roll (favorite), Rainbow #2, Dragonfly Roll, Kamikaze Roll (baked). All were so delicious and quality fresh fish. I was surprised, but don't judge a book by its cover. Generous big rolls too! We were stuffed by the end. --Pros: self serve ginger, wasabi, soy sauce on each individual table. Even better is they give complimentary green tea and miso soup with your meal, how nice! Who gives anything for free nowadays? --Calvin Roll is quite popular but I don't personally enjoy deep fried items since it takes away the freshness of sushi rolls for me. It was loaded with tempura flakes though! My boyfriend loved it. Recommend for those who prefers cooked rolls. Ambiance: --Very cozy, family owned place with only about 6 tables. The workers were so kind and friendly, it felt like dining with your aunties/uncles. Please be patient as they are working hard! They were quick to always refill our waters, ginger, soy sauce, and even offered a second cup of tea. Is it the best sushi I've ever had? No, but it definitely satisfies my mainland sushi cravings and you can't beat the quality and quantity with such excellent service. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area. Highly recommend. read more

I enjoy eating at this spot because the quality of their sushi is pretty good.... I normally eat at those expensive Japan quality sushi restaurants. However, when I just want a sushi with decent quality without breaking my wallet, I come here. It's a small establishment so if you plan to eat in, you may have to wait for an open spot. It's usually just one server and then a guy in the back making all the food. Many people do takeout from here too! On my visit here, I sat inside. I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted to eat so I let my eyes make all the decisions. My tummy was over stuffed by the time I left here. Everything here is delicious..... I couldn't recommend anything because they are all equally good. Try them all!!!! read more

The location was literally next door to our hotel. And when my wife injured her knee, we started to really focus on walkable, convenient locations nearby. To establish an expectations for myself and my family when it comes to sushi, the bar is very high. As someone who has eaten some great sushi prepared by masters, the highest grade of sushi is pretty hard to come by. I can't say that the sushi chef is in the rarified heights of the true masters. To be fair, very few do. A Michelangelo doesn't come along every other week. Neither do master sushi chefs. So, this isn't something that borders on the unforgivable by any stretch. Where Sushi Spot excels is in customer service! We were made immediately welcome. And the entire experience was filled with thoughtfulness that exceeded the minimum standards by a wide stretch. Would I dine here again? Absolutely! read more

Went here 3 years ago and didn't think it was good but wanted to give it another chance over the weekend. I always judge sushi first based on the rice. We had 4 rolls. The rice was falling apart and didn't even look like sushi rice. Something that simple tells me everything I need to know about the quality alone. The unagi was slimy and the quality was just not good. Nothing tasted fresh. I'm not sure how this place has good reviews, I'm guess it's because these people have never had GOOD sushi. On a good note the service was good, but I'd definitely go elsewhere for sushi. read more

Absolutely the best sushi spot on the island in my opinion. Parking is fairly easy, and it is conveniently located near other stores like Dipped by Dee. That said, you can easily stay here for dessert since they serve some really great options as well, like their Oreo tempura, which is delicious. The sushi always tastes incredibly fresh, and you can watch as it is made right in front of you. The restaurant itself is well decorated, cozy, and very cute, which makes dining in a nice experience. The staff is always extremely friendly, and since the restaurant is family run, it feels welcoming and personal. Supporting them also means supporting local, which is something I really value. As for the food, the crab tempura is exactly what you would expect flavor wise, but the portion size is generous and satisfying. My personal favorite is the Samurai Roll, which I order every single time I visit. I recommend asking for extra eel sauce with it, as it makes the flavors even better. Most rolls are reasonably priced between $10 and $16, and they also offer hand rolls if you prefer something simple and quick. Overall, this place is a must-visit for anyone who loves fresh sushi, warm service, and a great dining experience. read more

This place was open on Christmas Eve. I called in a last minute take out order at 7 pm and was pleasantly surprised. It's a small spot but nice and cozy. All the staff greeted me when I arrived and thanked me before I left. The quality and quantity were great. We ordered a few nigiri and some rolls. The pieces of fish were nice and big and not too much rice. The rolls had nice pieces of ahi and salmon as well. Would definitely go back again and this May be our new sushi spot! read more

Friendly, helpful Staff. Food was fresh & delicious. Sushi was beautifully presented & tasty. Small, clean space was comfortable.

10/10 every time I come here. When I crave sushi this is the place I think of alll the time. It's a small place to dine in and if there's a wait it'll all be worth it! The staff is so nice and friendly and their service is also a 10/10. You get complimentary water and miso soup once seated as well. Some of the sushi rolls we ordered, ended up ordering the same ones again lol Definitely recommend Calvins choice, Red Dragon, Stuffed mushroom, Titanic, and pork or chicken cutlet on the side. read more

The service is amazing! There's ample parking right outside and even on the side of the building. The vibes are great! They like to play 2010 music, and mostly Meghan Trainer hahaha. Now the food... my go to's are Red Dragon, Kamikaze Roll, Mt. Fuji roll, and Lion King Roll. As you can see, I love my rolls. They give you miso soup to start and a glass of water. They're actually very fast making the food and you probably won't need to be in there more than 30-45minutes. I love going there as they remember my friends and I, and our order. So excited to come and dine in again!! read more

Sushi Spot is AH-MAZING! Very pleased to report that the service is still top notch. Super nice people running the front and back of the house. I'm assuming they are the owners who operate the business, and you can tell they have a lot of pride in this restaurant. Cute little tables are spread throughout the intimate dining area. Probably not the best spot for large parties, but I'm sure they'd find a way to accommodate you. Just call ahead to make sure! On each occasion we visited, we were warmly welcomed by the sushi chef and server, which in my book is already an awesome start. The restaurant was quite clean and had a cute feel to it; hard to explain, but it was definitely a comfortable meal. Menu has a nice variety of fresh raw fish, appetizers, hot dishes, and sushi rolls. I just love that my wife and I could order all that our hearts desired, and it was so affordable!! We couldn't believe our lunch only came out to $100! Today we ordered: Nigiri 3pc/order ~ Ahi Salmon Hamachi Tako Masago Spicy Scallop Mayo Ikura Appetizers ~ 4pc Mussel Agedashi Tofu Soft Shell Crab Maki ~ Red Dragon +Served with complimentary miso soup The fish was so delicious and clean tasting!Everything was so so fresh... sorry, my wife kinda jumped the gun and I didn't get to snap pics of it all, but just trust me!! It looked just as good as it tasted and this is another place where we can't wait to go back. Thank you, Sushi Spot!! read more

We came in on a Wednesday evening and had to wait for a bit for a table to open up, which was fine since we were in no rush. The dining area is a bit small, so probably better to order takeout ahead of time. Service was hospitable, attentive, and checked in on us frequently. Before we even ordered, they started us off with some miso soup. We ordered a four different kinds of rolls and the chirashi bowl. You can't tell from the photo, but there is a bed of rice underneath the lettuce and sashimi pieces in the chirashi bowl. Order came out within 10-15 minutes. All the fish were fresh, and I like how they plated the Red Spider and Dragonfly rolls. Just to address those who take offense to imitation crab meat: Most places do. Aside from spider rolls (which typically use soft shell crab), majority of rolls use imitation crab meat due to cost and availability. It's unrealistic to expect REAL crab meat in all your rolls (which we had in our Red Spider) AND be paying the prices that Sushi Spot charges. The cost of four rolls and a chirashi bowl plus tax and tip ended up being $80, which I thought was perfectly reasonable. Is Sushi Spot the most amazing sushi I've had? No. But for the service, quality, and price, Sushi Spot hits the spot for me, and if I lived in the area, I would gladly make it one of my to-go takeout lunch spots. read more

Sushi was great! Their signature dish, with its hot Cheetos, was an unexpected delight. Initially, the food came out quickly, but after the restaurant picked up, the service slowed down significantly. We placed another order of wings, which took an unusually long time to arrive. By the time our food was ready, we had finished everything and decided to take it to the homeless people across the street. When we arrived at the restaurant, the service was fast, but it slowed down after 30 minutes. However, it seemed like there was only one server, and we didn't receive much help after the restaurant got busy. The prices were a bit high, and our tab came out to over $300+. Despite these issues, the restaurant was cute and small. read more

Dinner to avoid traffic. We were on our way somewhere else but after sitting in traffic for over an hour I realized we were close to Sushi Spot so we took a detour. We walked in and were greeted by the staff immediately. The shop is small and we were ushered to a nearby table. Our order was taken quickly and came out quickly as well. I enjoyed the sushi-all big pieces of fish and tasted fresh. The shop filled quickly so we didn't linger. I'm not by any means a regular but several people who came in were greeted with familiarity, so they definitely have a dedicated customer base. read more

Heard about this sushi place called Sushi Spot right across the street from Times Aiea . Lots of parking available although it's gets very busy because there's other businesses shares the lot. Friendly service and clean dinning room about 6 tables . I ordered their Chicken Katsu Donburi it was ok different than most Oyako Donburi I had . Very plain and simple only onions and eggs over the Katsu . My sister said their nigiri sushi was fresh and good tasting. The tofu was also good and their sushi rolls. I also had a crab roll comes w/cream cheese, avacados, imitation crab , deep fried tempura outside of the sushi w/sriracha mayo sauce on the roll . That was my highlight for lunch it was really good . I would be back in the future if I'm in the area support local read more

Yummy sushi and great service! My favorite hole in the wall on the island. Highly recommend!

What can I say about this place?! I was looking for a sushi spot for dinner with the family different than what we would normal have which is Genki or Doraku. Found this spot on yelp and they had good ratings. I normally check out the photos and how many people rated them and etc. before even wasting my time on trying a new place. This place is on the smaller side with about 7ish tables and this place has a little bit of a wait but I can honestly say it's 10000% worth the wait! 1.The staff is just so amazing so nice and on top of everything. 2.The place is really clean 3.The service is just top notch 4. The food service is so fast 5. The presentation is amazing 6. The quality of the fist is outstanding "you will only know when you order sashimi or just plain nigiri style" I went back twice in a week lolz. I would love to gate keep this place lol so when I go it's not so busy but this place deserves 10 stars in my opinion. read more

This is a great place for lunch or dinner. We had the Chirashi and Katsu. It was great and very generous portion. Very close to the airport. The restaurant is small probably fit no more than fifty people. Before we walked into the restaurant, we notice many patrons were doing takeout and as we were looking at the menu on the window several customers told us that the food was great. Will definitely go back when we return to Oahu. read more

Sushi spot never disappoints!! It is always fresh and best quality. The staff is so friendly. We eat here almost every week. Highly recommend! read more

A hole in the wall classic sushi restaurant with a wide selection of rolls and solid sashimi options! There is limited seating and parking in the lot, and on a Friday night, it's packed! The service here is extremely homey and welcoming! I recommend ordering takeout but be warned, you have to keep calling their number until you get through to order. However, once I got through, my order was ready within 25 minutes. Their hand rolls are big and the rolls are portioned well. I recommend the Calvin's Choice and Red Spider! 10/10 food, 8.5/10 parking and restaurant seating, 100/10 service! read more

Sushi spot truly is our go to spot for sushi here on Oahu. We found this fabulous place when we first moved here a few years ago, and we are now proud regulars. It does appear as a hole in the wall spot with only a few tables inside, but it is worth the wait if there's a line and the quality for the price is unmatched. We have worked our way through so much of the menu, and we have never left disappointed. Our go to's are the dragonfly (actually made to look like a dragonfly!), SOS, dancing shrimp, and best friend rolls. If celebrating a special occasion or bringing visitors, we opt for the deep fried Oreos and ice cream for a sweet treat. We often get take out too, and it is so fast and perfectly organized in a sturdy box for the drive home. The fish is fresh, they have a variety of fun rolls to choose from, and the service is outstanding. They are the sweetest people and work so hard to make each customer's experience great. I cannot give enough stars or compliments; if you're looking for delicious sushi for a great price with wonderful service, you must try Sushi Spot. read more

A hole in the wall type restaurant with very friendly staff. Their restaurant is small and intimate. The food was decent, no complaints and they were fast to push out those sushi rolls. I also liked that they give you miso soup as an appetizer. My boyfriend got the S.O.S. roll and the stuffed jalapeños. I got the Kamikaze roll and Calvin's Choice roll. Everything was soo delicious and fresh. My favorite roll was Calvin's Choice. read more

It's located at the bottom corner in a 2 story plaza. We came because it's away from the tourist spots and WOW were we happy and full when we left. This place is a gem!! We were brought ice waters and miso soup upon sitting (miso soup had great flavor! Comes with seaweed and tofu) Friendly staff Extremely attentive Food came out very quickly We ordered a bunch of food And ate everything!! Will definitely be coming back. :FOOD: 1. Red dragon (spicy tuna on top and spicy mayo give it a tasty kick) 2. Baked mussels (perfectly cooked and mussels are chopped) 3. Fried mandoo (tasted like veggies on the inside) 4. Assorted sashimi (fresh!) 5. Super California (the tempura shrimp was cooked perfectly crispy and you can actually taste the flavor of the seaweed which adds to the flavor) (eaten too fast to take a picture) 6. Ninja roll (eaten too fast to take a picture lol) Had baked eel on top - this was my favorite roll!! 7. Wasabi and ginger were fresh :DRINKS: hot green tea - comes in a per cup serving :Atmosphere: Casual Family style Welcoming Busy but not rushed :Bathrooms: Ask for the key They are on the second floor on the opposite side of the building They were clean read more

Sushi Spot in 'Aiea is such a gem. We arrived right at the afternoon reopening (around 4:45 pm). Besides us, there was another group of people being served. All the servers, including the cooks in the back, greeted us upon entrance. The servers tended to us as needed and were efficient! All the menu items seemed reasonably cheap and of high quality. The space is quite small but it gives off such a homey vibe. There are no restrooms in the establishment but ask for a key, and there is one outside. I would 100% come back! read more

Came here for lunch and wasn't expecting much but it was pretty good for an unassuming exterior. We got a Mt Fuji roll, Best Friend roll and fried mandoo to share. Both rolls were great and way more filling than I thought they'd be. The fried mandoo was super fresh and hot. It was pretty busy during lunch and every table was filled but service was good and food came out really fast. They give you a bowl of miso soup to start and the prices were really reasonable for the quality and size of the rolls. Will definitely go back to try other rolls they have! read more

This place is my absolute favorite sushi restaurant. The place is small and cozy. Every time we have family and friends visit we make sure to take them here because the sushi is so good. Our friends ordered the chirashi which they quickly devoured! They noted the freshness of the sashimi. I ordered the red dragon which is a perfect balance of shrimp tempura friedness and fresh spicy ahi. My wife ordered the titanic, our go-to roll, it never fails to be our favorite thing on the menu. The spicy salmon is a close second, it is very fresh and a perfect amount of spicy. I also really love the miso soup here, which is complimentary. The staff is very friendly and the service is great. I will definitely miss this place when we leave Oahu. read more
