There seems to be (at least) three authentic Japanese restaurants in Waikiki. Authentic means Japanese key staff, authentic dishes, none of the American rolls etc. the other two being Suntory and Yoshitsune. This restaurant features very high quality Japanese fare for lunch and dinner. This review focuses on lunch. There’s a few great specials and we had the Chirashi , assorted tempura, miso soup and a huge flavorful very fresh tofu salad bargain at $7.50. Call ahead for sure and dinner can be hard to get into.

This is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Hawaii that offers a large variety of Japanese style cooking. I love how fresh the sushi and sashimi are. I love the uni they offer here, and the cooked items are fantastic. Although it's pricey, the quality is what makes this place worthwhile.

We usually come here at least once a year. Pricing isn't bad at all for what you get and the quality. Service is always really good here.
Parking validation is $4 if you park at the Prince.

Being a big fan of fresh sushi, we got a tip from a resident. He warned that we needed a reservation, so only having two days left I gave it a shot. After a day and a half of "no" we got "yes." We showed up on time and there was a line. The ordering system makes it very efficient. We ordered all at once, which is my one regret. We had all of our food within about 10 minutes and were done around 20 minutes. I recommend ordering one thing at time, to relax and enjoy the experience. All the sushi is very fresh and super tasty. Our Miso soup came with about 8 fresh Clams; with lids so it stayed nice and hot. The Uni was my favorite, what a treat ! We will definitely be back. Arigato 👏

The food is more than worth the price. It's pricey but like I said it's worth it. The service is efficient and friendly. The atmosphere was nice. They have a "classy" Japanese restaurant vibe but not too bougie to have an automated food delivery line sending food down to your table on a plate with wheels. Overall, a great place.

The food was fresh/tasty and the drinks were delicious. The service was average and the ambience was standard for a Japanese restaurant. You order your meal from a tablet device and some dishes are served on a conveyor belt. I would eat here again. Reservations are a must for evenings. Decent value for location and amount of food. The lunch specials are recommeneded. The toro bowl was delicious and reasonably priced for Waikiki. Parking is available across the street for $1/hr.

We ate here several times during our stay. Very fresh fish and great eel lunch box. Their fatty tuna was so good, as well as the ankimo. Will definitely come back for the quality of the food.

My family and I love coming here for quality sushi at an affordable price. You order through a tablet on the table which is quite easy and allows you full use of your 90 minutes. Our server was very friendly and checked on us frequently to see if we needed anything like water refill, enough wasbi, etc. Our favorite items is the salmon skin salad, the yokozuna, kobore ikura/uni, and any of the lunch sets.

Best authentic sashimi and sushi lunch (fish all flown in from Japan) . Order everything through a tablet, so really, there is no service. Had to waive someone down for water and green tea.

Katsumidori is a very satisfactory place to get sushi. The prices are very decent for the quality you get in terms of fish, and the uni is one of the best sourced on the island. Over the COVID years I believe the quality has went down and the price has went up, however they are sourced from Japan so with the restrictions, it's understandable. Service may have changed due to the new waiters/waitresses but was still a decent experience. Overall, I still recommend a go if you want some expensive sushi such as uni or fatty tuna at a fair price.

I recently spent five days in Hawaii and I visited a Japanese restaurant in the hotel that specializes in sushi. A friend recommended the restaurant to me, called Katsumidori Sushi Tokyo. In my opinion, it was decent - the vibes was nice, the prices were reasonable, and the food was average for a typical Japanese restaurant.
The restaurant is located inside the Prince Waikiki Hotel, and I suggest using Uber to get there as parking can be difficult. Speaking of the food, we ordered a sushi platter and an eel rice bowl. The sushi platter had several options, and we chose the Ozeki Sushi Platter for $43, which came with 18 pieces of sushi. The serving size was quite generous, and each piece was of a decent size. I particularly enjoyed the sea urchin, Ikura, scallop, salmon, and tuna belly sushi.
The Eel Bento Rice Bowl was priced at $19 and had a good taste. It also came with a side of udon noodles, which paired well with the eel. Overall, it was a nice combination.

First dinner in Hawaii and enjoyed the selection of sushi and other dishes. Everything was pleasing to the eye. Food was too pretty not to eat.

I ordered a couple of the special nigiri/sushi sets and a roll to go and loved the quality and freshness of the fish - everything was very tasty and well prepared. If you're staying at the Prince hotel, I recommend ordering takeout, bringing it to the pool deck on the 5th floor, getting drinks from the bar and enjoying a great meal with an amazing view.

It was our first time there and hubby wants to come back again. The service was great and food was awesome. The sushi melts in your mouth. We made reservations 2 months in advance.

The food was great, all sashimi were fresh and tender. Very nice o-toro and hamachi. Udon and uni special were great too.

Decent saki list. Sushi was good, but not the best I’ve ever had. The place claims to be priced cheap, but it was about average compared to other sushi restaurants (about $14 for a roll and about $3-5 for nigiri).
