All I can say is wow
Would have loved to find this hidden gem earlier in our stay, we had the nigiri sushi combo, grilled mackerel, miso/pickle/rice, and the spare rib soup. All were delicious and amazing overall. The sushi was fantastic, best miso soup ever, spare rib soup was mind blowing, the meat was so tender it was incredible!!! The mackerel was cooked to perfection. Absolutely amazing all around.
Highly recommend in every category.

Let's talk. I found this place only while here on G- maps. If you know about real real, this place served up the real real real. The locals are 2000% right about Sunrise Restaurant. Yes, I dined-in, and ate like my usual piggy self. The sushi rocks, and it's fresh! Not fluffed up with watered down wasabi and flavorkess ginger. Let me repeat that. The sushi rocks! We also had the bitter melon and the dynamite. Bow to the food gods. Thank you. If you're after all that atmosphere, well you might not be. However, you will be - if you're after the real real.

Back visiting again, and enjoyed another delicious dinner. This place is a must eat. I'll repeat what I said before. It's not fluffed up with watered down tourist food. I enjoyed sushi, sparerib soup, bitter melon, and grilled salmon. 5 star delicious 🤤😋😋

Authentic Okinawa food. Which is not quite the same is mainland Japanese food. Visits a few times for different items. Pork feet soup is a must. Okinawa soba is great. Bitter melon (goya) champuru is great as well. Fried squid is good for beer. Grilled salmon is good.
Restaurant is small and they can get super busy. Definitively secure a spot with reservation.
BYOB without corkage fee- alcoholic beverage from seven eleven next door gas station or Okinawa beer (Orion) from mitsuwa market at Waikiki. Seen locals with red wine, sake, local beer and etc.

Very good sushi/sashimi. Found this local place on the walk down from Diamnond Head state park. Worth the visit, no beer, but u can bring your own...which I did

Stumbled across this must try Japanese restaurant in Honolulu. So glad I found this gem.
Once you walk into Sunrise you automatically feel like you entered a home kitchen where you know you'll be served food from the heart and soul.
The restaurant has been around for over 2 decades and the husband and wife owners of the restaurant were so nice and welcoming. They even preformed a song in between the cooking and serving which was such a special treat.
Hands down one of the best hamachi kamas I ever had and the ahi tuna was fresh and delish. This restaurant is definitely a must visit every time we are in Honolulu.
Best to make a reservation or call the restaurant to see if there are any openings if it's the same day

The place is a whole in the wall no frills kinda place. I love how the owner lady does not talk to us in English at all. I felt like I was in Okinawa again. We ordered sushi, sashimi, soba, and stir fry noodles and tempura. The broth…. Is so clean and so tasty, seasoned perfectly, and the fish is soo fresh. Must try. Call ahead if you can.

I’ve been coming to this one of a kind restaurant for over 5 years. It truly is a gem and so is the family that runs it. They had takeout during Covid and now they are finally open for dine in. The owners are wonderful people and always make you feel at home. Their food is great and reasonably priced. If you want a unique experience that you will remember for the rest of your life go here!

Great food and friendly service, highly recommended! Chef playing traditional instruments was a big bonus.

Ooooshi! Okinawan food! The pig feet soup and spare rib soup is so yummy! I love the soup base. Most of the 🍣nigiri sushi comes with wasabi on it 🙊! I keep forgetting to ask them no wasabi please! 🤦🏻 Call in order to take out, finding parking can be a bit hard there, or a far walk.

Great Okinawan food. Good prices. Small dining area in old hose. Limited parking.
