We arrived on a Tuesday evening and within an hour it was pretty full. Reservations are required to ensure you have a table. The place is unassuming from the street and I would never have known about this place had my other half been recommended it by a friend. The restaurant is small and quaint. Parking is in the back.
Everything we ate was exceptional. Please note that all "entrees" are that item only. I ordered the miso butterfish and for the price, I expected miso soup, rice and maybe a salad. Nope. It was only the fish. Everything is ala cart. That really was misleading for this foodie. Having known that, I will remember for next time to order the side of rice. And yes, there will be a next time.
Oysters tend to be small in Hawaii and not the fattys you can expect in the NPW however, these were really fresh and flavorful. We'd order them
again. The rolls were delicious as well. The fried ama ebi was also tasty however I am not a fan of eating shrimp with the shell on or the head so be mindful of that. The Mr. loved the beef tongue and miso with full shrimp inside. One of the most pleasant surprises for me is receiving our beers in super icy glasses with super cold beer. It was so good and I am not a beer drinker traditionally speaking.

This place reminds me of Tokyo! It's kind of a hole in the wall, but the quality of the food is off the hook. They have a good selection of sake and beer too. My family plans on becoming a regular.

It was my 2nd visit and they defined didn’t disappoint me. I didnt have any complaints about the food but it would be nice if the staff was more friendly.

A smal gem! The most fresh delicious sushi like it literally has been caught right before they served it. The price is definitely what you get… so if you are not a real sushi eater and all you eat is a California roll, this is not your spot. This is for the real sushi eaters who love Uni w/ Quail Egg on top and can eat Live Oysters…. yum! Definitely try this spot!!!

The food was great! We ordered sushi rolls and they did not disappoint. We also ordered nigiri, which was delicious. I do feel like the food was a bit overpriced, but it was still delicious. The customer service from staff was wonderful. They were so kind! You definitely should make a reservation as this restaurant is small and seats are limited. The vibe was perfect for a night out!

A really cute authentic Japanese sushi restaurant. They have many types of fresh fish from Hokkaido. I tried the Uni and it was phenomenal. You need to book before going because it could be really packed. They also have Omakase too but we didn’t get to try. Would definitely go back again.

Their sashimi is really fresh and delicious. Fried fish is really good too. Make sure you make a reservation because their space is limited 😀

Very good food though on the pricy side. We ordered crab fish, sashimi, tempura etc, they are all tasty. Drinks are ok-ish, not much good sake selection.
