Great environment. Excellent sushi. All fish is fresh. Gotta try the green tea mud pie. A local fave. Reservations are recommended ahead especially on the weekends and special occasions. Parking is tight of busy so go early.

This place exceeded my expectations. it was an amazing experience! The calamari was perfectly cooked and had a great flavor. The California roll was fresh and delicious, and the Bali Hai Bomb sushi roll was simply amazing! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Japanese cuisine. Definitely a 5-star experience!”

Walked in at 6pm on a Monday without a reservation but able to dine at the bar. Bar tender and wait staff super busy but friendly and helpful. LOVED the lychee sake and lemon drop cocktail. My son couldn’t get enough miso soup. Good value for delicious, well-prepared fresh meal. Stuffed but took home a slice of lovely green tea mud pie.

We made a reservation for the teppenyaki experience while we were staying on Kauai and we were so impressed that we made another reservation to do it all over again a few days later.

We were told that it was the best place on the island for sushi. It did not disappoint, our food was amazing and our server Irene was great. We did not have reservations but got there early enough that we got a seat at the bar. If you will be in the Kapa’a area when they are open we highly recommend making an effort to go here. We were a party of two and got there when they opened so we got in I would recommend getting reservations for larger parties or if you plan to be there later in the evening. It is a very popular spot with everyone locals and vacationers

Over priced for an Average food, not fresh, no flavor. Sushi was okay. Udon Soup was tasteless. For the price and the wait to have Japanese food on a Tuesday at 5:30 it was overrated. Rushed to finish our food but Super friendly servers.

The new renovations are so nice!!! They have the best Japanese food in the area. I had the shrimp tempura and the dinner plate “A” with the steak and salmon and salad. The meat was so tender and the sauce was the best! I forgot to take pics because I was so anxious to eat. We had the “green tea mud pie” for dessert which was something different that I absolutely love! Will be returning soon!
