    I did alot of takeout before and it's always been consistent. Today, we decided to sit-in and just relax. Very cozy with a few tables spaciously apart. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. We had the Chirashi, Titanic Roll, and the Red Dragon Roll. The Chirashi is always good and the fish is always fresh. I like the slightly grilled shrimp on top. The Titanic Roll with Salmon leading the roll is excellent. The Red Dragon Roll is incredible with the crunchy tempura shrimp being the star. For a party of 2, this was alot of food. We had leftovers for takeout along with some other nigiri to go.

    Hidden gem. Definitely made me very full. Reservations: luckily I was able to reserve a table last minute before the dinner rush before 7. Ambiance: feels like Japan Customer service: love it Price: a little pricey but it's very good Parking: lots of parking

    This SUSHI hit the SPOT!! I ordered the rainbow #2 roll and the kamikaze roll. My husband got a natto temaki, spicy salmon roll, and mount fuji roll. We also shared an order of agedashi tofu which came with a heaping mound of bonito flakes. Out of all the rolls we ordered the spicy salmon was our favorite!

    Sushi Deluxe Combo

    Mahalo Stretch, great choice for a snack before the airport. We arrived before the dinner rush and was seated right away. We wanted something not too heavy but just enough before the flight. The Sushi Deluxe Combo was a perfect snack for two! In a reasonable amount of time, this delicious platter was served. Quality slices of fresh fish, perfectly seasoned sushi rice, and this included hot miso soup and hot green tea. I appreciate when the tables and chairs are clean. Most important to me is that the dining area isn't too crowded nor noisy. I like to hear my friend's conversation :) Our server was very gracious and kind. Our Sushi Deluxe Combo was perfect! We enjoyed our dining experience here and we made it to the airport in plenty of time.

    Lunch in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... As I was walking to my car from Aloha Charms, I saw the sign for Sushi Spot. I've heard the name before... why? My friend, Traci T., got ROTD (Review of the Day) ten years ago! More recently, my friends, Craig, Deborah, and Gabriel have dined there. Ok - let's try it since we're here! Sushi Spot is truly one of those "hidden gems". It's a cozy nook where the driveway is kinda spooky because it's on an incline. The free parking lot was almost full! Inside, there were only 2 open tables! This place is popular! Service was very polite, traditional Japanese, and efficient! The server was so kind with a soft voice and gracious manners. I decided on the Sashimi Special... it was beautiful, fresh, and delicious! I ate the scallop first... mmm... slightly sweet and soft! I ate the grilled shrimp last and was surprised by the slight kick from the Sriracha/mayo sauce... LOL! Very clever - to add it to the smokey flavor! I also enjoyed the lettuce leaves, salmon, ahi, tamago, tako, squid with tobiko, and hamachi! This was a great, spontaneous adventure! I'll be back! Note: Thanks for the fun condiments on the table: shoyu, wasabi, and ginger! Thank you so much for the complimentary hot tea at the end of the meal!

    Spicy scallop nigiri, tekka maki and spicy tuna nigiri! ((Packed so beautifully to go))

    Run by a husband/wife duo who are absolutely welcoming and wonderful! The food never takes long even though everything is made to order. The complimentary miso soup is just lovely! They have TVs on both ends of the restaurant always playing lively music! By far my favorite sushi spot in town!!

    Crab tempura and Calvin's choice

    If you are looking for a Sushi Spot in Aiea, Sushi Spot is the place to go! Located at the bottom of Aiea Heights Drive in Aiea commercial center! It's a small restaurant, I would consider hole in the wall, looks family owned. The past times we went, we were able to walk in. Was introduced to this place by my sister, and omg I'm so glad she did. It's one of her favorite places as well. Our go to is the crab tempura and Calvin's choice. The wife ordered the sushi and sashimi combo deluxe. And for dessert, the fried Oreos with ice cream. Oh my gosh, so good. Hit the spot! Everything was so good like always. The crab tempura, good. The Calvin's choice was good, and the sushi and sashimi combo deluxe was good. Next time I'm gunna try the hamachi lovers choice. I love my hamachi! Customer service was also great like always. The ladies were so so nice, gentle and friendly. Will definitely be back! Go and get your sushi fix neowwww!!

    There's nice and there's Sushi Spot. A small sushi restaurant in Aiea ran by a family. They are so sweet, friendly, and pleasant. You can definitely feel the positive energy. Aside from free/complimentary water, their miso soup is also complimentary. If you are in the mood for pretty good quality sushi around Aiea, this may be an option. (But really there isn't much good sushi place on this side of the island.) It is a small place and not sure if you can make reservation. My husband got the Hamachi lover and he was pretty happy with it. I tried their 2 pieces shrimp tempura udon. Broth was on the peppery side but good. They do have other entrees like chicken cutlet, udon, donburi, etc if you're not a raw fish eater like me. Be sure to try their fried oreo with vanilla ice cream at the end. It was a nice treat after the meal. Just a small note, if you're looking for an authentic Japanese sushi experience, I would try somewhere in town.

    Service: The moment you walk in you are greeted! Very nice peeps there! All smiles and super friendly! Ambiance: It's a small whole in the wall place in Aiea, and parking was pretty easy. My husband and I were able to get there before the dinner rush. When you walk in, it's clean and very well lit. Food: Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo....freaking good! We got the sashimi platter, agedashi tofu, spicy salmon salad, Calvin's sushi and another sushi roll I forgot. Oh, and the hubby got the spicy mochiko chicken. The food came out pretty quick! Which is always a plus cuz we were starving! The sashimi was fresh and delicious! Agedashi tofu and the salad were also good! When they brought out the spicy mochiko chicken I was expecting the fried chicken to be sauced, but instead put the sauce on the side. Which I thought it was a plus because they were thoughtful on my husband's part. Overall, we had a great time! We will definitely come back again soon!

    Fish is so fresh and sushi so yummy! You gotta try this spot in Aiea. Lots of parking available in the lot, about 10 tables inside this cozy, casual restaurant. We were seated quickly and perusing the menu when we joined in on singing Happy Birthday to a young guest there! What a great family vibe! So many choices on the menu and prices are what you expect to pay at a sushi place. Fresh fish and lovely service from this family business. We'll be back!

    crab tempura
    Ashley H.

    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.

    Great sushi rolls in Aiea! The storefront was an unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. I expected spicy ahi bowls and sushi platters, but you could get Sansei level rolls here too! The shop itself was small, with a few tables and chairs and a bar area. The nigiri was good, but if you compare it to other izakaya's in town it's not quite the a same level. The rolls are what you should order and appears to be Sushi Spot's strong suit. This place offered sashimi and nigiri, but also had an assortment of Americanized influenced rolls like California rolls, caterpillar roll, and the rainbow roll. They even have cream cheese...I personally don't understand cream cheese with rice, but you uninitiated can get that. There are just so many roll combinations. It's overwhelming since there were so much to choose from. I usually get one roll with salmon, one with spicy ahi, and one with unagi. Service was great, like you'd expect from most Japanese restaurants. The take out was well packaged with a cardboard carry box. I've come here a few times. I've tried nigiri, the rolls, and fried stuff like chicken katsu and mandoo. Mandoo may not be Japanese but they make it good. Agedashi tofu is a must try and really good. Go for the fancy rolls! Can't go wrong. I never took pictures of the rolls. I just ate it too fast.

    always a great time here. the restaurant is family owned and they remember us and greet us when we come it's nice to be welcomed. the food is incredible , great portions made fresh and comes out lightning fast. there are about 8 tables in all so we like to come eat and leave because normally there is a que outside. we get the same sushi every time, the spicy ahi tempura roll and the ninja. 10/10 we always return

It was quite warm inside since it was open air and there was no AC. Da OG Tostada: My first time eating a tostada with ceviche. The shrimp is raw and it was mixed with some veggies. The ceviche was not bad. It was fresh and didn't have a fishy smell. There is a tangy flavor from the lime but that was it. Not much impact from the overall flavor. The corn tortilla was crispy and good. Fish Tacos: There were 3 thick pieces of fish with two flour tortillas. The fish were good, nicely battered and golden crispy. There wasn't much pico de gallo so we used some of the ceviche on it. The slaw and chipotle aioli were good. Overall, a pretty good seafood place. We came right at the opening hour and they were already busy with the tables almost full. There was also a line. The staff were friendly. The foods also came out quickly. It was a good place for lunch, either dine-in or take out. Definitely will be returning to try their other dishes.
