Excellent sashimi and poke. The portions feel smaller than a couple years ago. But still quite delicious. There was no line on a Tuesday noon time! We only waited a handful of minutes for our orders. Parking is just street parking around the area snd it shouldn't be too hard to find available spot but you may need to pay at the meter. Definitely recommend.

Fresh fish at market price. Higher end quality, so the prices are a bit up there. Fish dishes look yummy. A little more than your regular poke bowl, but not outlandish like the mainland kind of poke bowls either. I didn't buy a dish but some fresh salmon belly to cook at home later in the evening. Service is friendly and welcoming. I dropped the stars for the atmosphere only because of the location. They are in the food court of MaunaKea Market place food court. Not exactly enticing, but you also don't have to stay and eat there, so it's up to you.

Got the ahi with shoyu & sweet onions (and $4 side of ikura), a benchmark to set expectations for poke across the island. I was impressed with the smoothness of the ahi and the coating of the sauce, but felt the portions were small for the price. The counter service was simple and the food service was quick, so no complaints there. It was difficult to find parking for this Chinatown-location and the food court-style seating left a lot to be desired, but the food was delicious. Would recommend to others, but perhaps at their other location.

$28.12 after tax for chutoro with ikura and uni. The rice was dense and seasoned perfectly. Its temperature was just right. The ikura, uni, and tamagoyaki were excellent as well. Everything tasted fresh! Simply said, you can tell a seasoned Japanese sushi chef was behind the counter. The chutoro, however, was a bit of a disappointment. The slices were thin and tasted no better than Akami. Also, the portion size seems like it was right out of Tokyo (ie too small for most Americans). At this portion to price, I’d lean towards paying a little more for a decent Chirashi at the local sushi joint. Maybe their salmon or Chirashi will provide better value - I will find out next time!
