    Spicy ahi donburi, shrimp tempura roll, Spam Roll, takoyaki
    Jojo L.

    I've been going to Sushiman for as long as I could remember and this ended up being my younger brothers favorite spot, too! Throughout the years, the taste and portions have always been consistent, as well as talking story with the friendly staff. Although they are known for their sushi and handrolls, they also sell donburi and meat options! We got the spicy ahi donburi, shrimp tempura roll, spam roll and takoyaki. Sometimes the spicy ahi can range in spice, but the freshness in taste is always there. The shop is located inside Pearl Highlands Center foodcourt. There are a good amount of seating areas, so long as it is not rush hour. Lots of parking outside, too!

    If I could rate it a 0, I would. Located in pearl highlands food court, my friend bought the ahi roll and some other sushi to fit in a little bento take out tray. After he ate the ahi roll, his stomach felt funny and he started to throw up because the fish was bad. I went to the counter to return the sushi, but she said the other sushi isn't fish (but how you eat the rest of it if you're already throwing up?) And she said "not fair, no refund, those others aren't fish" even when I was returning it all to her. That is super bad customer service. Not ever eating here again. They don't serve fresh fish here because when I bought a while back, it didn't taste fresh either, and because she was rude and didn't refund for something my friend got sick from and we returned most of it without even getting a partial refund, we will not buy from them again. It just a really awful taste in our mouths, both literally and rhetorically.

    We ordered boba drinks. And they were delicious. My daughter got the taro and I'm old school honeydew and both were delicious. They were good size for the money too. The service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is food court with many choices to choice from for both food and drinks. I haven't been here in a while but will definitely be back.

    Awesome find here at SushiMan Pearl Highlands! My wife's favorite -- matter fact, ONLY THING she orders from SushiMan is the Crunchy Don. Once upon a time, that could only be found at the Hawaii Kai location, but guess not anymore! Super happy to see this spot serve the Crunchy Don as well. It was probably on their menu for years, but the Hawaii Kai SushiMan said they're the only ones who make it, so we didn't even bother to check Pearl City. The Crunchy Don - Sushi rice with a light sprinkle of furikake, topped with crispy/crunchy fried vegetable tempura cut into bite size pieces, layered with sweet unagi sauce and finished with spicy ahi and green onions. Delicious and filling! The aunties that work here are so friendly and patient. There have been a few times we were indecisive, and they were always happy to answer any questions and didn't seem bothered or rushed for us to order. Love that! I also appreciate that they don't nickel and dime and charge for wasabi and ginger. I think that's beyond unreasonable for places that sell sushi and don't even give you one for free. Ok, rant over lol. Anyways, if you try the Crunchy Don, eat it asap!! Warm and crunchy is the only way to go. Hope you like it! :)

    Located in Pearl Highlands Foodcourt. Enter on the right & walk down to the very end. Nice worker lady. Unagi-Donburi is great! Dragon roll maki = pretty good. Mango Smoothie = Awesome! Will be back! Mahalo!

    Everyone in Hawaii knows of at least one SushiMan store and in the back of our minds we probably remember coming here or seeing it in passing growing up. It's a small, reliable place to get some simple, fair priced sushi. This location specifically is a great spot for a snack or cheap meal when you're in the area. Since it's in a food court, it won't be too hard to find a place to sit and enjoy, or if you're a worker, the aunties in the back got quick hands to get you in and out so you can maximize your lunch break. Although, you may have a bit of a wait during peak lunch/dinner times. Honestly, it's not someplace you come for a date, but it's also not a bad place to come. I can imagine that this local business stays alive because of their consistent delivery of decent priced sushi, and convenient locations. What more can you ask for? We always need those places that are not too expensive, not too questionably cheap, but just right (especially when it comes to raw fish!).

    While doing some errands in the complex, we stopped in at Highlands Market food court for take-out. Been awhile since we were here & it was nice to see the new food places & renovated dining area & bathrooms. Hubby selected Sushi Man as his choice. We were greeted by a nice, friendly lady. She didn't rush hubby to order, but patiently waited & politely answered our questions. After he ordered, the wait time was just a few minutes. It was just after 11AM so the lunch crowd hadn't hit yet. He ordered miso soup, bento #4 for $10.99, & an order of gyoza. Miso soup They used a 12 oz cup. At first I thought they didn't fill it up all the way but when we got home. I measured it & it was exactly 1 cup/8 oz. It still looked weird but hubby enjoyed the soup & said it had good flavor. The only thing he noticed was they put a little too much seaweed in it. Gyoza 5 pieces of fried gyoza. I snuck a piece & thought it was good. He thought so, too Bento #4 This bento comes with 3 shrimp tempura, 1 vegetable tempura, rice, green salad with 1 grape tomato & a piece of daikon. Hubby thought the bento tasted ok but has had better. He was not impressed. Shrimp was thin & tasted old, the tempura batter was pretty thick. Salad was good. Vegetable tempura ok, it was a little hard to eat. I tasted the rice & it was good. It was seasoned like they do sushi rice & sprinkled with furikake. Overall, ok place to eat at. I'm sure they have other menu items they do well. Customer service was excellent.

    Got a dragon roll and taro bubble tea. The picture made the bubble tea look like tea, not blended smoothie so I was a bit sad when I got a blended drink. It was ok. Dragon roll was massive. It's a standard roll but filling.

    My go to spot for a snack. I get their vegetable tempura roll and their shrimp tempura roll. Freshly made with a nice crunchy bite. Workers there are kind, so be nice too! It sometimes takes a little longer to create these tasty treats. This gem is located in the Pearl Highlands food court at the very end. Parking is everywhere.

    Spicy don
    Maria Joy I.

    Always love getting their spicy don! I ordered side of tobiko nigiri to put on it too ahaha! Wanted to try their shrimp dumpling and it was okay , wouldn't get it again though. Cashier was really friendly as always!

    Philly Roll & Red Dragon hand rolls
    Leizelle S.

    Sushi man is a quick service sushi spot. Located towards the back in the Pearl highland food court. So there are tables and chairs to enjoy your meal there but sometimes the food court gets packed. This location in particular awesome. The lady that is always there has great customer service and is extremely nice. Prices are great and the food is just as great. I really only get the hand rolls because they are stuffed. Favorites are the red dragon roll and the Philly!

We got smoked out and it got bad to the point where my eyes were getting watery. Not sure if this happens all the time at this spot- this was my first time. The service was okay. We waited over 10 minutes to get cups of water and to put in our order. I totally get that they were short handed which also explains why it took almost 40 minutes for us to be served. Ordered the Negi-Hamachi to try something different. Hamachi is my favorite fish served sashimi style so I decided to switch it up and order the Negi-Hamachi which is finely chopped, yellow-tail with green onion and wasabi over sushi rice served with tsukemono and miso soup. I was super happy with this because the Hamachi was delicious and surprisingly, I did not feel bloated or too full afterwards.

The first large order, I had even made an error and didn't change the date so it was for same day! Panic! Called immediately and the nice lady who answered was right on top of it and very nicely changed the date of the pick up for me - WHEW! Day of the event I went in at 8am (when they open) to pay for all three and they had all three orders printed out and I could pay for all of them at one time. Even better - they already had the stamped coupon cards ready AND because it was Tuesday, senior discount day, we got the discount! Mamaya includes a bottle ID water with each bento, so this ended up being an awesome deal and easy option for our luncheon. Ordering online was easy. Recommend setting up an account so it's a little faster the next time you order. There are options on rice (multigrain or white) that you can choose online. There's even a comment section to make special requests. They don't promise about special requests but say they will do their best to accommodate. (I've requested no green onions on something before and they accommodated that). Forgot to take pics of the two bento options (was in charge of the event so no time) but when you go online to order there are photos so you know what you will be getting. Only note is they may take a little longer past your requested pick up time if it's early in the morning or a large order so just account for that and this is a great option for ordering for your event. Food was delicious, people were happy. Besides entree and rice, the bento included a small portion of nishime (yummy) artfully cut in the traditional beautiful way, pickles. I had ordered a few extra and folks were coming up to me asking if they could buy them so I guess that's proof of the bentos passing the taste test! I'm sure we will be ordering for events from here again.

It absolutely did not disappoint. Safe to say I'll be wondering why I waited so long! We ordered quite a variety and every dish brought something delicious to the table. The Red Spider (soft shell crab, crab meat, romaine lettuce, cucumber, avocado, and tobiko) was incredible. Every single bite was packed with flavor and texture. That crispy soft shell crab added the perfect crunch that made this roll hard to stop eating. The Black Spider (soft shell crab, crab meat, cream cheese, romaine lettuce, cucumber, and avocado) was an interesting twist from the Red Spider. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was equally delicious. The cream cheese gave it a richer, creamier bite that worked surprisingly well. Next up was the Chicken Katsu Curry. Japanese-style curry with veggies and crispy chicken katsu over rice. The chicken was beautifully crispy, exactly how katsu should be. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired perfectly with the rich curry. The veggies were cooked just right too. Overall, a really satisfying dish. The Spicy Ahi Handroll was another winner. You really can't go wrong with this one. It was fresh, flavorful, and honestly disappeared within two bites. Yum! Then came the Pork Katsu Donburi with scrambled eggs, veggies over rice, drizzled with their amazing house sauce. Just like the chicken, the pork katsu was delicious. But can we talk about that sauce? Perfecto. I'm not sure what's in it, but it tied the entire dish together beautifully. And of course, dessert! The Fried Oreo with Ice Cream. It came with vanilla ice cream surrounded by deep-fried Oreo and drizzled with chocolate syrup. It was yuuuuummy! Hands down, I would order this again. Do not pass up this dessert. From sushi rolls to katsu dishes and ending on a sweet note, Sushi Spot completely exceeded expectations. Great flavors, satisfying portions, and multiple dishes I'd happily order again. If you've been driving by this place and saying, "I'll try it one day," take this as your sign. This spot is an absolute must try!
