Sushi King

Located in the center of the university area. The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The portion sizes are huge. The menu has variety, but not at all overwhelming. I love this place. I will definitely return. PS love the hot house sake to wash it all down

When my wife and I landed in Honolulu we asked out Uber driver the best spot for sushi. She recommended Sushi King. She told us that they had big portions and were inexpensive. Upon arrival we were promptly greeted and seated. We were a bit thrown off when we noted that there was one other family there. Nevertheless we were given complimentary green tea that had a really good flavor. We flipped through the menu as if we were studying for a midterm. I noted there were some pictures on the back of the menu. I am a visual learner so this was a bonus, a cheat sheet on the back. Not seeing anything appealing, I reluctantly convinced myself to do the Hawaiian roll which was a really a rainbow roll named a Hawaiian roll. The waitress noting I didn’t really want that suggested I order a special. I was a bit put off by the ugani, but it was ugani sauce with tempura shrimp inside, with some crunch vegetable don’t recall name haven’t heard of it before. The top had maguro, ugani sauce sirache and green onions. My wife ordered the volcano roll that had inside: tempura shrimp, cucumber. Outside:spicy tuna green onions and a spicy sauce. We also ordered a side of Garlic edamame. The edamame came out first and promptly. It was amazing they had great texture. The were cooked to perfection not soggy or too crunchy. I assumed it was going to be covered in garlic however it slightly drizzled with a garlic sauce that had a sweet taste but not to sweet taste to it. The rolls came out right in time. The combination of flavors complimented the others. The fish was bursting with flavor. The color was bright red and tasted very fresh. I was thrown of by the veggie inside it was a bit crunchier than I expected and couldn’t get over it. The flavor was nice maybe a bit thick. The tempura was crunchy and fluffy the shrimp moist and cooked just right. The portions were plenty and I left very satisfied. I did get a taste of the wife’s and that was rich with flavor. All and all a great experience.

Sushi King! Very friendly staff, fast service...no complaints. This is a solid late night sushi place. It has a Great Sake selection, and went from a 4 star to a 5 star when I discovered the late night happy hour begins at 9pm to close. The back side of the menus lists the available discount food and drink specials until late.

Great food, relaxed atmosphere, always a great way to end the night. I typically get a combination plate, but their ala carte menu is wonderful - I particularly like the bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms!

Love sushi king quality sushi at a reasonable price, great service and friendly staff and the tempura is equally as delicious
