Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Oahu

"One of the top places to eat in Honolulu and all of Hawaii, Roy's has risen to the top under the masterful tutelage of chef Roy Yamaguchi, who skillfully fuses European and Asian cuisines, this establishment has earned a reputation for lively ambience, attentive service, and incredible food. A devotion to impeccably fresh ingredients and a penchant for artistic presentation characterizes the menu, whose temptations include steamed Hawaiian onaga, tri-peppercorn-crusted ahi, and ginger-steamed Chinese chicken. There's also steak, lamb, pasta, pork, and duck."

"There are over 20 locations of Roy’s across the U.S., but Roy Yamaguchi’s original location in the residential neighborhood of Hawai‘i Kai is still the most special. The service makes guests feel like family, and the food is always reliable and comforting. Look out for Roy’s classic seared misoyaki butterfish and meatloaf with tempura onion rings."

"Roy’s Waikiki is the most popular Hawaii Regional Cuisine restaurant on Oahu. His ‘Hawaiian fusion’ food supports local farms, ranches and fisheries. Start with sushi, follow with a classic dish and end with Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle."

"AWARD WINNERS: Panko Crusted Fresh Ahi Sushi - Island fresh ahi tuna wrapped in arugula & spinach, panko crusted & flash fried, served with soy wasabi butter. The adventurous chef at Sansei will introduce your palate to vibrant unconventional flavors that he incorporates to his seafood dishes. The sushi here is a harmonious combination of Hawaii meets Japan."

"Yanagi's been around for decades and is a favorite destination of celebs, so it's frequently crowded, especially at dinner. That's hardly a surprise when you consider its impeccable food and convivial atmosphere. Sushi is outstanding, and the chefs take great pride in their skills."

"Japanese chain Nobu has two branches in Hawaii – one in Honolulu and the other on the private island of Lana’i. As with its five other locations throughout the US, Nobu Honolulu is a paradigm of upscale Japanese cuisine and exemplary service. From black cod in miso to yellowtail sashimi, all of the chain’s signature dishes are here along with its trademark simple and elegant interior."

"The Nobu mystique is alive and well at this Honolulu outpost, which counts Robert De Niro among its owners. Even without a celebrity connection, the restaurant would be a culinary destination, courtesy of chef Nobu Matsuhisa's spectacular food and the place's careful service. Sushi and saké get lots of attention, but so, too, do tobanyaki and tempura selections."

"Nobu‘s Honolulu location is a dazzlingly unique venture in its own right. The world-renowned restaurant chain helmed by Master Chef Nobuyuki “Nobu” Matsuhisa serves exquisite Japanese-Peruvian fare. Today, it is truly one of the world’s most sought-after restaurant brands."

"When they first opened, Sushi Ginza Onodera had three tiers of omakase. They’ve since streamlined it and made it one omakase for $250, where you get four sashimi, a couple of appetizers (grilled fish and chawanmushi), seasonal items and 10 pieces of nigiri plus dessert. Like most sushi bars of this calibre, the seafood presented will be seasonal."

"Hawaii's Japanese heritage gets evident, once again, in this tiny sushi bar. While its location might not be the most inviting, the sushi, sashimi, butterfish and other grilled specialties served here most certainly are."

"Michelin-starred sushi chef Takeshi Kawasaki delivers a full ride of emotions with dinner, sharing beautiful and unique flavors while everyone at the sushi bar becomes excited, surprised, and exhilarated with each dish (and some men, moved to tears). Kawasaki plays with the Edomae style sushi, creating unusual new flavors with unexpected techniques, like curing uni in konbujime and salt, or mixing a finger lime dashi to make abalone sashimi taste like it’s coming out of the ocean. My favorite, above, is mackerel topped with a special blend of green onion and ginger to impart a garlicky flavor, and topped with konbu."

"Opened in 2017, Maru Sushi is one of the trendiest restaurants Hawaii. This remarkable Oahu dining establishment was borne from the success of the original Michelin-starred establishment in Sapporo, Hokkaido, back in Chef Takeshi Kawasaki's native Japan."

"HonoluluA hidden gem located in the Ohana Hale Marketplace, @Sushi has excellent Chirashi, or pieces of sashimi over a bed of vinegar rice. Impeccably presented with a collection of fresh sliced sashimi set atop a bowl of carefully prepared sushi rice, the beauty of this bowl is that it feels fancy without the gourmet price tag.Cost: $15.00; available for takeout only"
