As a former worker, the happy hour and food is worth it. Even the regular menu is decently priced for what you get. Recommend: hamachi kama
Get the Volcano Roll . I'm a devout traditional sushi person, but this one is indeed cheat worthy. It's basically a california roll with baked scallops .
The White Dragon Roll is a must. So are any of their Hamachi dishes (appetizer or entree). Don't forget to throw in their hot house sake too! One of the best sakes I have had.
Get the tuna tataki and kirin beer to wash it down. The combo will cost about $8 bucks during happy hour ! Such a deal! Valet or street parking only. SUVs and lifted trucks don't fit in valet :(
Misoyaki Butter Cod is delicious! Add some lemon to enhance its flavor. Doesn't matter if you are a Japanese or not, as long as you appreciate yakizakana, you'd enjoy this dish.
If you're planning on enjoying happy hour , it's only available to patrons sitting at the bar or community table. Or else plan on coming in after 9pm when it's available to the whole restaurant .
Our favorites were the Emperor Roll , Misoyaki Butterfish , and Volcano Roll but everything we tried was delicious!
Don't sit at the sushi bar when it's busy. You will not be served in a timely fashion. Order from the sushi maker in front of you and just drink water #serverfail
Busy, busy, busy. even with reservations & 6 sushi chefs , it was a wait. However, it was worth it, this was our dinner before SANTANA!!!
Sushi is fresh and oyster shooter is a must try! Very helpful staff too!
Try to go during happy hours . They have amazing dishes for fairly cheap prices during those times.
The tempura ice cream was yummy! Eat it right away though or it will be a little soggy.
Happy hour !! Ahi poke , garlic teriyaki edamame , California roll !!!

Doraku tuna tataki
It's the Doraku! Holla! (Say it like Dame Dash)
I was expecting to pay more. This place is downtown and has a great environment. I found service to be so so.
オシャレ!。。のでお高い。。けどHappy hourならreasonableなお値段で美味しいもの食べれる(^-^)/
The dessert with the green tea shaved ice, red beans, mochi is awesome!! - Angela Mau
The spicy miso is my favorite. I’d recommend getting a medium or large bowl. They’re well known for the char siu (pork belly) or toroniku (pork cheek). - Stacy Bo Bacy
Phenomenal meats and fantastic service. Must visit when visiting Oahu! Ask for Nina! - Lorenzo Taylor
The ushers & usherettes are awesome! So nice & helpful! - Kristin B
Good concert hall. Remind somebody of Live show on work 24year ago. - Kita Masashi
