Wagyu!!! Ahh so soft and so flavorful and my son's first time trying steak had to be a wagyu one. Now he's addicted. He loves this place for steak, we always get the premium one which is so pricey. They give you a sauce it's so good but you really don't need it because the steak is cooked just right on its own. If I could say I just wish we could have more meat and rice! Lol but it's Wagyu what do you except. Also tried some of the musubis not too bad just not for me. I'll stick to the Wagyu. Service is quick. I'll come here again and again for those Wagyu bentos. read more

The wagyu was flavorful and juicy. We enjoyed our dons! Would go again when we want to splurge. Bit pricey but it was good. read more

It is located inside the International Market Place's Mitsuwa. I got the medium uni bowl. It is good but I'm not sure if I would pay $80 again for an uni bowl inside a food court read more

Such a great deal for those who want Uni in large quantities instead of just a tiny piece. This place is tucked away in the back of a market so it's easy to miss's read more

Unikura - Uni - Sushi Bars Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Been to this place a couple times. It's in a market called Mitsuwa at the International Market Place, second floor. Unfortunately the four star is for pricing vs portions. I understand that the uni, scallops, etc are imported but at least give a portion that is worth the price. I have only tried their onigir's here and the rice vs protein portion is off. The protein is whatever can fit on top of the rice. Like last night I got the butterfish because it was the best seller and it came with 3 very small slices of butterfish. I've also tried the unagi and uni onigiri's. All are really good and fresh but small portions. Service is good. There is a language barrier so be patient. Everything is made to order. There is a seating area they share with two other restaurants. Parking validation up to two hours I believe. read more

Uni and Scallops straight from Hokkaido! We got a wide variety of their premium, made to order musubis such as the miso butterfish, saba, scallops and kombu, and their simpler ones like their mentaiko and kombu. For $50, we got their medium seafood box which came with Uni and scallops straight from Hokkaido, Japan, along with some ikura and salmon. Overall the fish was so fresh and delicate. The box was a bit small which is to be expected with this type of meal, but I do wish the rice quality was better since it was a bit compact. I was still a bit hungry after our meal, so it's definitely more a quick snack or light meal if anything! I probably would try a different spot next time if I'm craving seafood or musubis, but it's worth a try if you're walking around International Marketplace. read more

Unikura - IG @snacks_with_steph - Sushi Bars Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

Unikura is tucked within the Mitsuwa Food Court. The spot is really three different restaurants that one employee runs behind a relatively small counter. The food will take some time if there's multiple orders. Came here mainly for the Uni Box ($60), where they serve you a Box with rice on the bottom and the top loaded with Uni galore. They were running a manager's special however, so it was discounted a bit, but that also means the Uni was probably not the freshest batch and they were just desperate for someone to buy it before it went bad. We also got the Scallop Onigiri ($5.50) which was better than I thought it would have tasted. Assembling it properly was a bit of a struggle as there's plastic wrapping keeping the seaweed separated from the rice ball so that the seaweed doesn't get soggy. read more

They do not serve you, they do not take cash, uni was not of quality for the price. Maybe just stick to their onigiri. Very underwhelming experience. Will not be giving my money to them again. read more

The quality of the uni was incredible, straight from Japan, and the wagyu literally melts in your mouth. The food counter is located inside Mitsuwa Market, among a few other food stalls. It is on the pricier side, so if you're looking for more bang for your buck, I'd recommend Totoya near Ala Moana. Overall, still a delicious experience! read more

The uni and ikura were delicious. Hokkaido uni never disappoints. Always sweet, mild and creamy. The ikura had a good pop and was not too overly salty with a balanced flavor. The rice was of good quality and cooked to the perfect amount of chewiness. It's located at the back of Mitsuwa market in waikiki along with other eateries. I believe they do parking validation for international marketplace. First hour free, 2nd and 3rd hour for $2 per hour. My only problem with this place is the price. You can see in my pics for a small "medium" ikura and uni box it cost a whopping $57, and it's not like they packed it with uni and ikura; I could see white space (rice) in my bowl. I remember a few months back when they had the ramen festival uni pop up each weekend, I could get more Hokkaido uni and ikura for $40, which made more sense to me than this. For that reason, I don't think I'll order this again. The value is poor. Well, at least I thoroughly enjoyed my bowl. read more

Unikura is located inside of Mitsuwa in the international marketplace (2nd floor). They're tucked away in the back of the store among a few other food places. I originally decided to go because I won an IG drawing for their uni ikura bowl so we went to try it. I don't really eat uni or ikura (my friend ate most of it) but I did try it and it was good! It tasted super fresh and not overly fishy/salty. We also ordered the wagyu bowl, which I was most excited for. And it did not disappoint. The meat was so tender and cooked well. The extra toppings helped, but you really didn't need it to enjoy the bowl. I know it's a bit expensive, but the dishes are quality and worth it to me. I would definitely come back again! read more

Unikura - Wagyu bowl and uni ikura bowl - Sushi Bars Near Me - Urban Honolulu, Hawaii

If you ever go into International Market place, there is a Japanese Supermarket call Mitsuwa Marketplace. This place has a lot of Japanese food and needs. There is a new restaurant that opened up and had to try it. Some Hawaii influencer came here and mentioned the food was good. The influencer even got the Wagyu Beef Bento, which looks so good! But it doesn't seem I had the same experience as the food influencer. I walked over slowly and was looking at the menu and the lady at the cashier felt a bit pressuring or in a hurry. It felt like she was rushing me to order when I wanted to take my time to look at the menu. She kept asking me what I wanted and I let her know I'm not sure and wanted to look at the menu...I did ask if they do take out and they don't usually do because it's suppose to eat fresh there. Which is understandable. I ordered the Wagyu Beef Bento and also the Uni/Ikura small bowl. They separated the uni and Ikura from the rice, which is nice so it doesn't touch the hot rice until you are ready to eat. When I ate the uni and Ikura, it did taste fresh. The one concern I had was the wagyu bento...it did not look like the bento in the picture that they are advertising. I also seem to have a smaller portion of meat and the meat didn't look as healthy as the picture. For the price, it is expensive. The Wagyu bento was over $35+ and the small uni/ikura was $20. Overall the experience was okay. I wouldn't say it was the best but not the worse either. Probably would come back if my family or friends want to try it out. read more

Located in the food court of Mitsuwa in the International Market Place. Across from the Mott Cat Cafe. Not much to say. Good food, reasonable prices. Lovely presentation. Wished I had a kitchen (hotel, boo) so that I can purchase some of that wagyu to cook and eat in comfort. Will definitely make another visit. Hope they're here for a long time. read more

Just wanted to grab a casual lunch at Mitsuwa but didn't want to get any of their prepared food. Saw this place inside, was very good (but be warned, portions small) read more

Came here for lunch, and the place is hiding inside a supermarket. Their Uni- Ikura bowl is pretty expensive. But since it's got high reviews. I decided to give it a try. I got the medium size, it was a decent amount of food for 1 person. The quality was a ok, the uni did not taste like those sweet uni from Japan TBH. Overall, it's overpriced for what it is. read more

Line: no line at 7:00pm Sat night Parking: just walked Service: good Ambiance: located in a food court inside mitsuwa Ordered the unigiri. The uni with a bit of wasabi tasted fresh, smooth, and midly sweet - no old sea taste. Really enenjoyed it. read more

They serve both of my favorites packed & overflowing into one dish! Upstairs in the Japanese market food court.

Uni was very fresh. A great deal on Waikiki. Will probably head back there this week for lunch.

Uni was soo fresh and delicious. My husband doesn't like uni so it was nice that they had other options as well. We ended up with one unigiri and two butterfish onigiri. Both were amazing. read more

Quality is relatively good; not as good as high grade uni you'd see at a reputable sushi restaurant but it's sweet and not bitter.

Last week, I had an Uni and Ikura bowl medium ($40) for their grand opening. It was very busy for their first day, so I'm glad to got to try it. The staff are very helpful with their recommendations and customer service. Flavor wise, the Hokkaido Uni was fresh and had good texture. Hokkaido Ikura was already flavored and had really great mouth feel and taste. The ambiance was okay just really busy. read more

Uni quality is legit. Two stars are for poor communication that almost resulted in getting ripped off. I ordered their $70 uni tray before and was happy with what I got. Next time I ordered it, they gave me 3 small plastic cups (the kind that holds shoyu) of uni. I paid but didn't see them putting the uni in the small cups. I checked my bag and saw the very small servings of uni. Went back to return the uni and told the lady I had way more for $70 before. She made it seem like I was wrong but I insisted that there was no way I paid $70 for small servings of uni. They refunded me and I bought the tray on display which had much more uni. So if you go here, check to make sure you got what you paid for before leaving. read more

Does this place even exist? I was sold with the raving reviews and just walked around for 45 minutes looking for this place. And the phone number is out of order. I want to eat here! read more
