    I appreciate beauty and art in all forms and Sushi Tokiwa nailed it. I was so grateful to my friends' family for treating me here. We stayed for almost 2 hours and I had an incredible time with them. Our sushi chef was very attentive and friendly. I had a ton of fun conversing in Japanese with everybody. I was admiring the skills of our sushi chef and how every motion was meticulously done when preparing the sushi one at a time. It was also my first time experiencing omakase where you use your fingers only with a small finger cloth to wipe your fingers with afterwards. The standout for me was definitely the Uni, Chu-Toro and Hokkaido crab. It was my first time seeing the huge ass hairy crab being prepared and actually being able to eat it fresh. Watching the chef deconstruct the crab was a show in itself. Uni was stellar, and had the usual smooth oceanic taste. I personally always love Chu-Toro so that's just me being biased lol. If you order alcohol and get the grapefruit or pineapple one then the servers will grind it fresh in front of you. Lol The other Japanese group that had their own chef had some kinky convos going on over there o.o LOL. Then I saw them at the Japanese bar next to Mosa :o singing Oppai and dancing into the club. Whoa.

    The food was so delicious. We ordered the Tokiwa Omakase. We were taken to this small and intimate setting in the back of Restaurant Suntory. The ambiance was really pretty with earthy and woody tones. The service was awesome and attentive literally waiting in the same room if you needed anything and the sushi chef often checked in about how we enjoyed each course and explained how to best enjoy each dish. We came for our anniversary dinner, and although it was pricey, I think it was absolutely worth it. Our sushi chef was Chef Tomoya Makabe and he had a fun and bright vibe that added to the atmosphere and made the experience memorable. Every dish was very thoughtful from the presentation to the flavors.

    Great sushi! Great experience! Sushi bar was in the back of Restaurant Suntory, it was private, waitstaff was incredible, chefs were amazing and personable. Sushi was incredible.

    One of the best sushi omakase I've ever had. Came on New Year's Eve, 8p seating, and had the $250 Tokiwa course. We ended around 1h 45 minutes later. Both sushi chefs are from Hokkaido, Japan. The Executive Chef, Kanto, comes from a Michelin-rated sushi restaurant in Hokkaido and Tokyo (Sushizen). I had the pleasure of experiencing his omakase talents during this dinner. Every single course was excellent. The best uni and chutoro I've ever had. The chutoro melted in da mouth and so delicious! The crab dish was also excellent. They do ala carte at the end of service. We had the choice of either repeating a dish we've already had or chef's choice. I chose chef's choice. Chef Kanto selected new sushi that were not served during the omakase service - a delicious cured salmon sushi (forgot to take a photo) and a wagyu sushi after that. Both were excellent. The salmon was $10 and wagyu $20 extra. Sushi Tokiwa is located within Restaurant Suntory in Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. The sushi omakase area itself is in a quiet and private room that is separate from the teppanyaki and other areas of the restaurant. I had a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner here and I do look forward to visiting again. Definitely one of my favorite sushi omakase spots on the island!

    IYKYK: 20 restaurants, 3 countries, and 15 time Michelin Star recipient…read more Found in Japan, China, and America (in beautiful Honolulu and Houston), it's Kaiten Sushi Ginza Onodera! 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!

The food came rather quickly. It is fun to see the other orders whizzing by. I was with a group of 9 so we were at. two different booths, only one iPad per table. The pesonal service was minimal. 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.

    There is something deeply confusing about Mitch's Fish Market & Sushi Bar…read more Not bad confusing.Worse. Identity-crisis confusing. Because the fish?Excellent. Cold, clean, glistening with that dangerous little shimmer that tells you somebody in the supply chain actually cared. You can taste the quality immediately. The kind of quality that silences a table for half a second. And credit where it is due: almost everything I tried ranged from very good to genuinely great. But then the room begins speaking. And suddenly the spell breaks. The atmosphere feels like someone took a serious sushi counter, stripped away all sensuality, all elegance, all ritual, then dropped it inside a fluorescent island diner where exhausted civilians came to discuss parking validation and Costco receipts. It is the culinary equivalent of wearing a Rolex with orthopedic sneakers. The contradiction never stops humming beneath the experience. You sit there eating beautiful fish while surrounded by an energy that feels strangely... transactional. Heavy. Casual in the least flattering way. A room with no mystery. No seduction. No gravity. Like Zippy's accidentally wandered into the tuna trade and struck gold. And on an island like Oahu, where atmosphere matters almost as much as the fish itself that becomes a real problem. Because sushi is not merely consumption. It is theater.Restraint.Texture.Whispered precision. The best sushi spots on Oahu understand this instinctively. They understand that exceptional fish alone is not enough. You are paying for transportive experience. For mood. For elegance. For the feeling that the evening exists slightly outside ordinary life. At Mitch's, the fish reaches for Tokyo while the room drags you back toward a tired strip mall off the freeway. And then there's the crowd. Not evil people. Not rude people. Just an oddly low-rent energy orbiting genuinely premium seafood. The kind of room where one table is eating remarkable otoro while another feels one argument away from discussing used-car financing over soy sauce packets. It creates dissonance. Especially considering the prices. Because at those prices, you begin comparing the full experience not merely the fish quality and that is where Mitch's stumbles hard. There are multiple sushi spots across Oahu that equal or surpass the seafood while also delivering beauty, atmosphere, intimacy, and actual emotional texture. So what remains is this strange contradiction: Mitch's serves fish far above the dignity of its own ambience Which almost makes it fascinating. Would I be back - no . You can get same and better quality fish, much better vine, better part of town for the same Price.

My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

We ordered the deluxe platter, spicy dynamite cake, and chicken skewers. The food was so good! The deluxe platter had a combination of spicy Ahi rolls and some sashimi. Spicy dynamite cake was not too spicy, but had layers of rice, avocado, and spicy Ahi with sauce, and Nori wrappers on the side. Chicken skewers you can order them individually, in a set of three or five and we opted for three. Service was very friendly and attentive. We finished everything. The three items we ordered the cost was $60, adding tip and tax was around $75. The restaurant is very small. Seating only at the bar hence in the restaurant name. Definitely would like to come back and try some of the other options.

The Friday we went was the day of the heavy thunderstorm so a coworker had to bow out leaving just two of us. The storm must've made others skip going out also because there were only two other people dining. Everything we ordered was fresh with my favorites being the Pork cheek Cher siu nigiri and the Uni handroll. The Unagi handroll and Maguro w/creamy avocado handroll were both good as well. Joe really liked the Blue crab w/truffke kanimiso handroll as well. Other things we got were: Nigiri flight (5 piece sampler of there premium nigiri,) various nigiri...Aji, Kampachi, Tai, and Hamachi. The sampler was a good starting point while the others were ok. Service was attentive and friendly, waters refilled often. I'm kinda on the fence about the QR code ordering system, it was convenient to be able to order when you wanted and not having to wait for a server to come by but I did miss the interaction with the servers when ordering. It was a good experience, I'm always open to trying sushi places I haven't been to and some if the take out roll sets looked interesting, something I'd be back to try.

Every piece of sushi was beautifully presented not overwhelming. You can really tell the chefs put a lot of thought into the balance of flavors and textures. One of my favorite bites was a sashimi piece topped with something that looked like finely grated cheese (not sure what it actually was), but it melted perfectly with the fish and added a really unique savory flavor. The chefs and staff also had a good sense of humor. At one point they served kinki fish and jokingly explained that the English translation sometimes gets called "idiot fish," which got everyone laughing at the counter. The omakase is definitely on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall experience made it very satisfying. If you're looking for a refined sushi experience with great service and beautifully crafted bites, this place is worth the splurge.
