Hidden gem in the heart of Waimea. We come here pretty often now and are always greeted with the best customer service. The sushi is bomb and some of my favorite on the island. Take out is amazing as well if you have a bigger party. The restaurant is small and great for a 2 person dinner vibe. Love the entire atmosphere here. Great spot if you’re looking for delicious, fresh, flavorful sushi!

Best sushi on the island. We live in Waimea and we eat here about once a week if not more. Beautiful small restaurant with a great atmosphere and nice decor. Etsuko provides amazing service everytime we go & haruki provides some of the most amazing sushi we’ve had. (Perfect sushi rice everytime) highly recommend to anyone in Waimea or on the island.

A great little shop for take out sushi at a reasonable price. We tried the crab hand roll — this is just like the name implies— easy to eat with your hands like a wrap or a sandwich. We also tried the Spicy Scallop Roll, Fried Scallop Roll, Fried Oysters, Salmon Roll, and Spicy Salmon Bowl. We didn’t get this all at once, it was so good the first time that we went back the next day.

This has consistently been the best sushi I've ever had, year after year, since the first time I had it in 2013. Large pieces of fish in or on every roll. Lots of flavor. The fish seems to melt in your mouth. I will say that the rolls aren't the tightest and may fall apart, but the trade-off with flavor and portions is worth it. Even the basic tuna roll has huge pieces of fish and avocado.

Absolutely delicious scallop bowl(deep fried scallops my choice) sweet & tender. I didn’t count how many scallops but quite a few sat on top of rice w/ some type of yummy sauce drizzled on top. I ended up eating my bowl over a couple days and everything was still tasty.
I will definitely eat there again. Nice staff person took our order. All takeout. We looked in some of the cute shops while waiting.

This is a family owned business that has been a good place to get sushi in Waimea. The service is excellent and you can't beat the lunch combo with choice of rolls or nigiri plus a side for about $13 at the high end. I always get the seafood fries as my side which a mixture of tempura salmon, squid, and oyster. Their dining room has been closed due to covid.

The Aka roll is the best! They know how to make a roll! I wish they had more stable schedule of when they are open, but over all so yummy! Must stop if in Waimea.
