I ordered the sautéed mahi mahi and blackened snapper plates, and both were cooked perfectly,flavorful, and seasoned just right.

Definitely a great spot for fresh, delicious seafood!

After receiving a recommendation the 4 of us walked to Paia Fish Market…read more We were surprised at the line outside, though that is usually a good thing. Our wait was maybe 10-15 minutes, which gave us time to peruse the menu. After placing order at the counter, select a seat at one of the picnic tables and they deliver your meal. I ordered the Ahi grilled rare with potatoes. It was perfectly grilled, juicy flavorful and delicious! My wife ordered the Ono blackened also delicious and exactly as she wanted it. Overall the best seafood we've had in Waikīkī and by far the most reasonably priced. Coming back for lunch before we leave!

My husband got the sesame and panko crusted tuna but he said it was too greasy. The coconut lychee rice that it came with was really good though. Drinks were really good! I would definitely recommend the guava daiquiri. The reason why this place only got 4/5 stars was due to the service. Our waiter seemed like he was in a rush to get us out of there. He came by, asked for our drink and food orders, and left us alone for the rest of the night. There was no welcome, no hello, and he did not ask us if we even had questions about the menu. When I asked questions, his answers were very quick and short. Once we finished our food, I had to flag him down for the check. For a high end restaurant, I was expecting better service.

They are friendly and will help make your life easier if you transition from the bar to a table. I was there with a small party, staff were friendly and informative. Unsure what to get, asked the waitress to surprise me based off a couple of items I could not decide on. She did not disappoint and after talking with kitchen, she brought out the Braised Beef Noodles. The meat was tender and noodles good perfectly. My understanding is that this is a newer dish and hope it stays. The tomatoes were cold, which was a initial surprise but nice compared to the hot dish. I will be returning and highly recommend. Be ready to spend $40-$60 per plate. Ordered a Caesar salad that is big enough for 2 ppl to share. Couple of appetizers included sushi rolls & grilled brussels sprouts that were also excellent.

That was so nice since it's been so hot lately. The food was amazing. We chose to eat family style. We started with a couple sushi rolls & all was really good and fresh.

We opted for grilled Kanapachi with the red Thai curry with veggies and sweet potato and the butterfish Kamameshi. So so good. Everything we had was so good. Then we had dessert!! Seriously full and yet we ordered the chocolate lava soufflé, upside down cake, and the Thai Tea crème brûlée. I was so stuffed but the flavors of each desert were amazing! We couldn't stop eating it all. It's been a long while since I've been here so it was a nice refresher and reminder of how good everything is.

All rolls are served with following sides: crinkle cut potato chips, melted butter, house coleslaw, garlic mayo, lemon wedge, and Old Bay seasoning. The meat is served chilled in the bun. They have 4 "sizes" that they serve on a toasted brioche bun (~6 inch bun): - The Regular (3.5 oz)**: $36.99 - The Popular (5 oz)**: $49.99 - The Big One (7 oz)**: $62.99 - The Maine Event (1/2 lb (8 oz)): $74.99 **You can also ask for extra 1.5 oz lobster meat to this size for $13.99. You can also buy just the cooked lobster meat: 1/2 lb (8 oz) for $75.00 They have can drinks such as sodas (including Hawaiian sodas) and beer. The roll was actually quite tasty! I was able to experiment with different flavors with the Old Bay seasoning, garlic mayo, lemon, and butter. The garlic mayo was surprisingly good with the lobster. You can also throw the Old Bay seasoning on the chips if you're in the mood. The price is pretty steep which was my mistake. I don't know what I was expecting when ordering lobster in Waikiki. The lady at the cash register was less than pleasant and helpful so it makes spending that money feel a little more painful. If you can afford it and are really craving a lobster roll, this should satiate you. I didn't feel like I needed more to eat after finishing my meal. Location: The store is located in the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. You have to take a staircase from the first floor to a lower floor to get to it. You may need to ask around for directions. The restaurant is super small. Maybe two or 3 small tables that can fit no more than 6-8 people.

Things to know: no place to sit (one outside table with 3 chairs is all they have); no cash, card only; the fish is flown fresh from Japan. Now I don't know if all fish is actually from Japan and how true it is, but I did see some styrofoam shipping containers with US agriculture and US customs tape so I believe it. We ordered the macadamia aburi salmon which was a top tier combination of torched salmon, macadamia and a delicious sauce, and yuzu miso poke with ahi which had tuna so fresh it was just melting in your mouth. I also thought it was priced pretty reasonably compared to other poke places I tried in Waikiki, and portions were not huge but decent with lots of fish. I wish I had discovered this place a bit earlier in my trip because I would 100% come back for more.

We had poke almost everyday from different places during our visit, so we got to try a few, and Sato Seafood definitely stood out. We tried 4 different poke options here, but my absolute favorite was the ahi yuzu miso. The citrus flavor was so good, and if you like ponzu, I'd definitely recommend trying this one! Everything tasted very fresh, and the rice-to-fish ratio was perfect! There was just enough rice to have a piece or two of fish with each bite and a little fish left over. The two workers were very nice and friendly, which made both visits even better. The only thing I wish was a little different is if the toppings weren't so much extra. Once you start adding a few toppings, it adds up pretty quickly. Overall, we really enjoyed Sato Seafood and would love to go back.
