    This is a cute little spot for some sushi. I thought the service was excellent and the sushi rolls were good. I am not a fan of pasty tuna, though, so I was a bit disappointed with the spicy ahi. I like it chopped up instead but that's my fault for not asking. Overall, great experience as I've always wanted to try this spot. The baked green mussels were delicious!

    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.

    Ordered the Lion King roll, unagi roll, and two spicy ahi hand rolls, and everything was spot on. The Lion King roll was rich and flavorful, with perfectly baked fish on top and just the right amount of sauce -- indulgent without being overpowering. Each bite was warm, savory, and satisfying. The unagi roll was done really well. The eel was tender and buttery, with a nice balance of sweetness from the sauce and a subtle smokiness that didn't overwhelm the rice. The spicy ahi hand rolls were fresh, generously filled, and had a clean heat that built slowly instead of overpowering the fish. The nori was crisp, and the portions were solid. Overall, everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Great variety, great flavors -- I'd absolutely order these again.

    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

    Mt. Fuji roll

    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!

    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!!

    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.

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

    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!!

    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!

    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

    Fried Oreo and ice cream
    Joyce L.

    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.

    Spicy mochiko chicken
    Kristie Ann G.

    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!

    Complimentary miso soup
    Suanne K.

    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!

    The hype is real! I've been seeing this place on my fyp on social media and I knew I had to try it!…read more First off, don't be alarmed when you pull up to a mechanic shop on the side of the road. Although in a weird spot, I promise the food is worth it! I personally have never had this type of Mexican food before. I'm used to chimichangas, enchiladas, street tacos so I was really out of my comfort zone here. But, I'm so glad it gave it a try because it was delicious! My friends & I came here for lunch and it was pretty busy. The line to order was out the door! I already knew I wanted Da OG Tostada with the infamous blue crab dip and shrimp ceviche. It was soooo refreshing & citrusy! The ceviche and well with the crab dip. The tostada was super crunchy despite all the juices from the dip and ceviche. My friends ordered the Kiawe Smoked Marlin tacos and the Ahi Tostada. They said they were delicious as well. The marlin was smoked and deep fried. The ahi was super fresh and the portions were generous! Lastly, we got chips and salsa and chips and guacamole. The salsa was on the saucier side (not chunky) and had a little bit of a kick to it. The guacamole was so good! You could taste the onions they added in it. The chips though. Omg. They were super crispy and perfect for dipping. Overall, although this was my first time, my friends said everything they've tried has been phenomenal! I'll have to come back to try more!

Ambience: Converted gas station in Aiea right next to the highway. Parking is a little rough. Service: Slow, but steady. And most importantly friendly.

Parking can get a little busy depending on the time of day, but don't let that stop you from checking this place out. They offer both fresh and pre-frozen poke, and everything I've tried has been consistently fresh and delicious. My go-to orders are the hamachi and rainbow poke with ponzu sauce, the dynamite tako, and the spicy ahi bombs. The flavors are amazing, and the quality of the fish is always on point. The spicy ahi bombs are especially addictive! They also have kulolo and kulolo poke as well as poi. There are so many poke options to choose from, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Just keep in mind that there are not any dine-in seating. When you walk in, you'll see refrigerators to the left stocked with spicy ahi bombs, various banchan, and guri which is definitely worth browsing while you wait in line. They do offer gift cards but can only be used at this location. The customer service is amazing. The girls working the counter are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. I must say they have great poke, fair prices, and excellent service which make this one of my favorite poke spots. I highly recommend it.

The first one was spicy ahi & lava flow and the second was spicy ahi and the dynamite. There wasnt really much difference of the regular spicy ahi. I had high expectations for the dynamite because I was expecting avocado and cucumbers but it lacked that. Another thing I wish they would do is put the description of their choices on the wall, than on paper that you'll only see once its your turn. I've had to let people go in front me because I didnt want to hold up the line. Don't get me wrong though, workers are friendly and service is fast. There is no seating area, more of a grab and go type of place.

    We visited this restaurant recently and had a mixed experience…read more When we arrived, the sign on the front door directed us to go around the corner to the entrance on Ualena Street. After walking around, the hostess asked if we had a reservation. I gave her my name, but she said we didn't have one, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. She then explained that our reservation was actually at their sister restaurant around the other side of the building. We went over there and found that it was primarily a sushi restaurant, which wasn't really what we were looking for. We had expected more of an izakaya-style experience, so we canceled the reservation and returned to the original restaurant. Once seated, the service was good and our server was attentive throughout the meal. One thing that was a little confusing was that sushi and sashimi had to be ordered from the sister restaurant, even though we were dining in the other restaurant. The food was brought over and served to us without any issues, and there were no problems with the bill, but it took us a while to understand how the two restaurants operated together. We ordered several dishes, including chicken skin wrapped gyoza, crab tempura, an assorted sashimi platter, a cream cheese and fish roe appetizer served with toast, an egg dish topped with fish roe, chicken karaage, and the miso butterfish. The highlights for me were the chicken karaage, miso butterfish, and gyoza. I enjoyed them enough to order another round of the gyoza and chicken. That said, many of the dishes leaned toward the sweeter side of Japanese cuisine, which just isn't my personal preference. If you enjoy those flavors, your experience may be different. Overall, the food was good, the service was solid, and there were a few standout dishes. The confusion with the reservation, entrance setup, and relationship between the two restaurants got the evening off to an awkward start, but the meal improved once we were seated. I'm not really a Japanese food person, so four stars is probably the highest rating I could realistically give a Japanese restaurant. With that in mind, I thought they did a good job, and there were a few dishes I would consider ordering again.

The clam casino featured Fresh clams, onions, bacon, garlic, and mushrooms cooked with white wine butter sauce. This meal was meant to be tried and shared. Both of my meals were delicious and lots of leftovers. Really good timing since the restaurant wasn't full and Linda was very attentive and friendly. Give them a try if you like Italian food and lots of it or just enjoy the leftovers. Oh yeah I almost forgot. We also got dessert. I heard about their cheesecake so we ordered both the kahlua cheesecake and the lilikoi cheesecake. Both were yummy.
