    What a gem! My family of 6 went to Yohei for my mom's birthday a month ago and were treated to delicious, fresh, authentic Japanese food, including a fabulous sushi bar. The menu boasts a variety of sets, noodle dishes, and an omakase option as well. The space is cozy and fits a surprisingly large amount of patrons. The tables are accessible, which was great for my grandfather and parking easy in an attached lot. We hope it be back for more sushi in the future!

    I made reservations on OpenTable for Saturday. When we went on Saturday there's a line. Some people had reservations and lucky we had. Parking is kind of tight. Just be aware if you have a big vehicle. It was my husband first time. I've been coming here with my mom. I enjoyed my food. I got the sashimi combo meal. Comes with miso and soba noodles. My spouse got the chirashi meal. And I also order side of seafood tempura. It was delicious. Will I be back. Yes. We will be back. The place is clean and the customer services is great. They kept on refilling our water and tea. Thank you for reading and enjoy eating.

    Went to Yohei for their lunch omakase and it was a nice low-key sushi experience. The restaurant has a very traditional Japanese feel nothing flashy, just simple and authentic. The fish tasted fresh and clean, and each piece was nicely prepared. It's the kind of place that feels like a hidden local spot rather than a trendy sushi restaurant. Perfect for a quiet lunch if you're craving a classic omakase without all the hype. Overall 9/10. Solid and satisfying. Would come back again.

    I've been to Yohei many times with my son, friends, and clients. Chef Kawano is exceptional and truly takes care of his regular guests -- he recognizes his customers and makes the experience personal. The servers are friendly and personable, and the atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming. This is a true local Japanese sushi spot where many locals dine regularly. Highly recommended.

    Love love love coming to Yohei! It's one of my favorite spots to come with my family to eat and talk story. I normally order their teishoku (which I highly recommend the misoyaki butterfish and unagi teishoku). Anyways, I'm glad I got their tempura-jyu because I was craving tendon! Tempura was really crispy, the sides were really good, I wish they gave more tendon sauce on the side for you to use.. Overall, Always coming back for family meetings! Also, I highly recommend making a reservation on Opentable to secure a seat!

    Love supporting local. Especially those businesses who have been adversely affected by the ongoing rail project. Thats not the reason why this business deserves 5 stars. Its because, inspite of it all, Yohei continues to give 5 star service. Happy to see today's lunch time saw this restaurant with just about every table filled. Recommend dining with reservations. And the food? In our party of six persons, everyone ordering something different, everyone was so happy with their choices. My teishoku of sashimi and tempura was ohhh soooo good! Parking is easy and free in the strip mall parking lot. Bonus tip: With the construction going on Dillingham, best approach is from North King Street and then down Kokea Street turning directly into the parking lot.

    Scott G.

    The food is always so good hear. You can't go wrong with anything you pick. The staff are very friendly and respectful. There is a decent amount of parking in the lot and there is also street parking. I really enjoy going here, so not sure why it took me so long to come back. Alooooooha and happy eating.

    WOW, had an AWESOME Lunch :)) Stopped in for the 1st time after visiting the Nisshodo Candy Store for some Mochi-kine goodies. This restaurant is in the same parking area (right around the corner kine). Had read some reviews about this long-time 30+ years in business restaurant and figured, my wonderful wife (yeah, she is) and I, should give it a try. So HAPPY we stopped in!!! It wasn't too busy which was COOL, was around 11AM. The atmosphere is relaxing and has a warm, welcoming vibe! The staff here are very kind, attentive, and very sweet!!! Even offered to answer any questions, if we had any. The Menu is "traditional" with Teishoku-Style meals. However, we came for the Sushi. My wife wasn't too hungry so she opted for just Nigiri. She ordered 2-piece Chu-Toro, Madai, Hamachi, and Uni. Me, I was hangry kine lol I ordered the Tokujo Nigiri (Deluxe Assorted Sushi) that came with an array of Fresh and ONO kine fish. I too also ordered some Nigiri on the side, 2-piece Ikura and Kohada. I LOVE Kohada, and every other Sushi restaurant we've been to on island says they don't have it or are sold out. So BONUS for me ;) lol We were also served complimentary, Tempura Ebi Heads. Was like they read my mind because I actually LOVE fried shrimp heads ;) To end our meal, we had the Green Tea Ice Cream with Azuki Beans and Mochi. Ugh, WAS SO... GOOD!!! -- My wife LOVED the Tea Cup that the Matcha was served in, and noticed they were selling them. So we purchased 1 Tea Cup. I too was very intrigued by the T-shirt that one of the Server's was wearing. I purchased the COOL T-shirt, as well. どうもありがとうございます for the AMAZING dining experience!!!!! We'll DEFINITELY be back!!! ~ Aloha nui loa

    Food:5/5 today I ordered the Zara soba with ten don Service:5/5 Always friendly Japanese accommodating service Ambiance: 4/5 casual sushi bar with some tables. Stopped in for lunch without reservations. I guess we got lucky since we were early, like before 12 noon. Latest news is they will be open on Sundays; for lunch and dinner! Yay!

    Met up with a friend for lunch here during the week, and even though I've been to this plaza countless times, this was actually my first time dining at Yohei. The food was so delicious and such a great value! Their lunch sets are fantastic, lots of variety, so there's definitely something for everyone. I went with the ahi belly teishoku, which came with soba noodles, rice, miso soup, and pickled veggies. My friend ordered the sushi teishoku with tempura, and both meals were super satisfying. Service was quick and friendly, and the "aunties" working there make you feel right at home. Definitely a spot I'll be back to when I'm visiting again!

    With very friendly / helpful staff, great food, and a clean but neighborly feel, Yohei Sushi is one of the best, approachable japanese restaurants in the area. While the outside of the building shows its age, the inside looks fresh and was filled with customers. Hot tea was included for all the adults. Ordered a variety of sets that included udon, sashimi, tempura, and ahi belly katsu. Everything tasted great and used quality ingredients. Balancing an authenticity to its recipes versus a small, neighborhood restaurant feel, Yohei is a must stop for anyone looking for good japanese food that is approachable and family friendly.

    The food was delicious! If you like fish I highly recommend the miso black cod! It was so buttery and tender melt in your mouth good. We also got a tempura sashimi set to share. The service was amazing it felt so welcoming and warm. I would definitely recommend this place!

    Went in on a Friday nite and enjoyed the omakase $130 with 13/14 different selections of the best fish. Ranging from otoro, snapper, uni, kinmeidai. Very fresh and perfectly seasoned , authentic Japanese sushi! Quaint ambiance with attentive service.

It tastes good, but I personally didn't want so much. They also unexpectedly put some mayo on the hamachi nigiri pieces. I would have preferred it plain. Service was friendly and the space was really nice. Price was reasonable. Great date spot. I will definitely be back.

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's a touch screen order system to which we had minimal interaction with the servers/food runners. Though when we did, they were efficient, though not that friendly. The sushi chef also stopped by our table, to check on us, as I think he was shocked by the amount of food that we ordered though we devoured it all. There's about 4 sushi chefs in the front making the hand rolls and everything else is made in the back, with a pre-made rice machine, presumably for quality control/keeping costs down. Overall, we had a nice lunch, service was quick and efficient, and will most likely come back again.

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.

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.

I really can't tell you all we had because Randy took charge. Every bite worked well with the bottle of sake we had.

The fish was fresh colorful and presentation didn't disappoint our evening. We were there when they opened adding a personal touch to our evening before the dinner crowd arrived. The sushi chef and his sous chefs worked together to get the food to their guests quickly. We were sitting at the sushi bar --- the dedication and smooth operation seemed fine to me. It was quiet loud when they welcomed guests which wasn't easy to handle but I understood why they were doing that. Loved the presentation of our choices which we took pics of. Thank you for a fun evening. We'll be back next year.

I'm not exaggerating when I say it may have been one of the best things I have ever tasted in my life. The flavors were perfectly balanced, rich without being overwhelming, and so memorable that I'm still thinking about it days later. If I could have ordered three more, I would have. It was the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite and immediately tell everyone at the table they need to try it. One thing that really impressed me was watching the sushi chef work. She was incredibly aware of all of her guests and seemed to have a perfect sense of timing. I noticed that as soon as I picked up a roll and started eating, she would begin preparing my next one. If I slowed down, she would shift her attention to other guests before coming back to me. It felt so seamless and intentional, and you could tell she genuinely cared about each guest's experience. The bartender was friendly, attentive, and made amazing cocktails. The host was equally welcoming and continued checking on us throughout the evening, making sure everything was perfect. A small tip for first-time visitors: it's all bar-style seating, so I'd leave the oversized purse at home and maybe save the extra-short skirt for another night. Nori Bar isn't just a place to eat sushi--it's an experience. Between the incredible food, thoughtful service, and that unforgettable Blue Crab Truffle Roll, I'll be finding excuses to come back again and again.

First, our service by Manager JP and server John are 2nd to none. If you follow my Yelp reviews and sushi reviews you KNOW we are indeed global sushi "experts" from San Francisco, to NYC, Miami, Tel Aviv and everywhere in between. We were in town for the King Kamehameha Day and weekend parades and celebrations. Our son is a rising Senior at University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and two of his friends joined our party of six which our son made the Sunday evening reservations. My mother-in-law was using a scooter this trip and JP was very generous & helpful in accommodating our "parking" needs inside the restaurant. We were seated in a "prefect" table outside overlooking the Wakiki strip. Our server John was very welcoming, hospitable and kind. As we settled in and reviewed our massive menus which "like reading a newspaper" has just about everything to accommodate any diner needs. Unfortunately, a light rain and drizzle happening requiring us to relocate inside in a very comfortable table at the front of the restaurant that John took full charge in making our "transition" simple and quickly. Now, the sushi selections were very unique, amble, beautiful and delicious! Our creative cocktails and entree selections are too extensive for this dyslexic to list here. I took a photo and it is listed in the photos. Our sushi experience was amazing! Highly recommend Doraku Sushi Waikiki! Manager JP and Server John rock!

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.

    DOMO Café, you do NOT disappoint! Domo's Kahala location has quickly become our go-to, grab-and-go…read moresushi joint. Although they have a clean and comfortable space for dining in, we regularly stop by after church or on the weekends for something to savor at our favorite park. Seriously, it's easy to enjoy their bowls, sushi sets, or bentos anytime and anyplace. We've got a passion for this place. Here's how this love affair started...I discovered Domo when a friend invited me for some sushi and sips at her place. I was amazed at the beautiful platter of sushi that accompanied our sake and wine. My friends are the best hosts! I devoured the bombs, nigiris and rolls (in between sips!). Everything was simply delicious! Fast forward a few months, I order a couple sushi sets to host a poolside, golden-hour birthday get together at my other friend's home. (I know, you want to be part of this squad, right?!). Anyway, using the online order system is a snap! My hubby went in to pick up the sushi and said they were slammed but our sushi sets were ready to go. This time we ordered some ikura because the hubby and my bestie are big fans. Both agree it was fresh and fantastic! And the garlic set with the flash-seared fish and a hint of mayo is a MUST-try. We also ordered a California roll for my friend's aunt who is not really a sushi fan. She delighted in several pieces and even enjoyed the nigiri from the garlic set. Total convert! After enjoying the platters and sets, we had to try the bentos and bowls. This time it's just us and the pup at the park. The bentos provide a great variety and comes with miso soup. The hubby really likes the shrimp tempura with ahi and salmon nigiri and ahi poke. It's a steal at less than $20. I'm a bowl girl myself and like the spicy tempura. The tempura is cooked crisp yet tender. The spicy ahi poke combined with the creamy crab salad and the crunchy ocean salad delights all my tastes buds. It's truly an adventure in finding the perfect bite--and there are so many in this bowl! I also love the seared salmon bowl. It is melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I add the fried onions for some texture. You know a place is top-notch when you can feel confident that anything off their menu will satisfy your cravings. Because this is a Yelp review, here are some helpful tips. For sushi platters, pre-order. The online system is simple to use. Service is fast and efficient if you're just walking in for a quick bite or to grab something to go. Parking has always been easy for us to find in the small lot in the complex where Domo is located. It's right next to Assagio's Kahala. But if you're worried about parking, I suggest ordering in advance and then just picking up. This works great during peak dining hours. If you want fresh, delicious sushi that is reasonably priced be like us and visit Domo Café. You will probably also be like us and want to go back to try more.

The garlic salmon didn't have too much smokiness which I liked. They are not stingy when filling the inari with the spicy ahi.
