Went for a 7pm reservation, the service was amazing and the waitresses were very attentive but not overbearingly so. The atmosphere is very cozy and inviting. The food was delicious and I would recommend it to anyone looking for good sushi and Japanese cuisine. There also are bathrooms if you’re too shy to ask, they are to the left through the curtains and they have bidets 🫡.

I live in a landlocked state. And I thought I've had pretty good sushi. But this place is as authentic as you can get without traveling to the country of Japan itself.
Generous cuts of fish. All super fresh, and an aesthetic that is old world Japan.
You don't mind sushi being served in a more traditional way, this restaurant is for you.
Highly recommended.

This place made me feel like I was back in Japan! The sushi bar and set menu were perfect, with plenty of options for everyone, and everything was prepared to perfection. Highly recommended, and we will deifntely be back. Thank you!

I arrived yesterday evening but I tried to search where the place was near me and still open. I found this restaurant and read the review, it seemed pretty good one. The food was very good and fresh sushi. Service was very good too! even they placed the wrong order, I didn’t mind and they were very polite and very nice. Highly recommended!!

Wow! Let the girls know its your birthday. Free dessert, dance and song. What a nice surprise. The unagi bento was fatty and chewy. The sauce is the star of the show. Sushi zen was meh but the seafood tempura set made up for it. Yes, coming again for birthday.

The food was absolutely delicious! It was pricey but as others have said, the food is authentic, customer service excellent, and worth the money. If you are looking for a quaint little corner restaurant that serves traditional, high quality Japanese food, Yohei is the place!

Such a charming restaurant! It’s very authentic and reasonably priced with good service. We went twice and both times we saw most people order their complete/set meals. We opted for nigiri sushi, appetizers and side dishes. We really liked their nigiri sushi as the fish was fresh and the rice wasn’t too densely packed. We would recommend this restaurant for anyone who enjoys more authentic sushi but not for those who like sushi rolls, especially westernized sushi rolls.

Tucked away in the back corner of a strip mall in the semi-industrial flatlands of Kalihi, this gloriously charming, nostalgia-inspiring Japanese restaurant is worth a visit, if you haven't been there before. Yohei is somehow both a place everyone has heard of, but also a place that feels like your little secret when you visit... especially when the staff starts to recognize you as a repeat customer. My dad is, and they make him feel like a VIP.
The sushi, and the sushi bar, are the star of the show. And you can't go wrong ordering anything off the sushi menu. But its the teishoku dinners and special combinations that keep me coming back. First timers should just go for the Sushi Zen combination, which is basically a sampling of all the best items available that day, depending on what fish and other ingredients were available.
One thing that you don't read about are the desserts, which are also special. I will admit, not knowing what I'm doing, some desserts have not been to my tastes. But I've never seen them anywhere else, and am totally willing to risk a couple of "not for me" items to find the occasional winner.

Very nice place with Japanese vibe and very friendly staff!!! Food is delicious. Portions are big. If you want to feel yourself like in Japan you have to visit it. Located near the fishing pier but don’t pay attention to the area. It is worth it.

We went here twice during our 5 day stay in Honolulu, Oahu! I swore to only try out new places for every meal in Hawaii, but this place was worth coming back for the second time. We both got the “Sushi Zen” twice, and we could barely finish it every single time. They also give you hot tea and refill it FOR FREE! So so many sushi places will charge you EXTRA for tea but Yohei Sushi DOESN’T! And the service is amazing too! The waitresses would come back very very regularly to ask you how the food is, if you need anything extra and to fill in your water/tea. I can’t wait to go back to Oahu and eat here again. Literally one of the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. 1000000/100 recommend :)

Great food and service. Our first visit, ordered the Butterfish Misoyaki, the Hamachi Sashimi, and the soba noodle tempura combination all good.
Returning visit ordered the Tempura and Udon and the Sashimi Tataki and of course the Butterfish Misoyaki.

Super cute restaurant with very friendly staff. Also probably the best Japanese food i’ve ever had, and i’ve had a LOT.

The place is small and comfy. The employees have the Japanese spirit, respect, and manners that one expects of their culture. The food is on the high end but well worth the cost. Great place to bring a date.

Great hidden spot!!! The locals know it 😊
Very friendly staff and authentic Japanese food.
I will make sure every time I’m in Oahu to eat here once or twice!
Excellent food!!!

Lovely restaurant with a friendly atmosphere and delicious food. We opted for the sushi noodle soup tempura. It definitely filled us up. Their hot tea hit just the right spot.

Authentic and fresh Japanese sushi restaurant with many options for non fish eaters. Miso Butterfish is the best on the Island!

Always good japanese food. Been to Yohei many times and have not had a bad meal. I had the Kona Kampachi this last time which had the fish prepared as sashimi, nigiri sushi, and the belly fried.
They have table service and a sushi bar.
