No one mentioned that to get the happy hour discount , you have to sit at the bar . It's all good, we still got a 10% discount with this application. We liked everything we ordered! Service was quick!

Brenda Rodriguez

The Emperor Roll was awesome! Can't just order one! Love the 10% Foursquare discount . Can't beat that :D

Brandon Cain

A good selection of rolls for most sushi lovers with a few unique ones. Try the protein roll for the fish lovers that want to try something new.

Do Hee Jeong

The hamachi (pic) from cold plates sec was delicious, among other rolls and hot plates ordered. Try to grab seats along the open windows to enjoy the Hawaiian breeze

Tim Lucas

Hitachino Nest beer , edamame , white dragon sushi roll , and hamachi sashimi ????

Austin Teter

So delicious, go during happy hour for awesome deals. Try the emperor roll and geisha roll, they are delicious. Also the sweet & hot Edamame is fantastic

Hope Evers

The sushi , specialty rolls and sashimi are really good. Came during happy hour and got some sweet deals. Had a pretty great dinner here - much recommended.

Will Kwan

Beef tataki and the lomi lomi roll on the happy hour menu are awesome. 1hr validated parking as well . The emperor roll everyone is raving about is a little rich for my taste.

Adam Garrison

We were seated outside in the wonderful Hawaiian night breeze. Firecracker shrimp were tasty followed by White Dragon roll which was even better. Will visit Doraku again!

Roberto Marchi

Great Japanese! The Dragons are a must! And so is the moti ice cream !

Christina Agudelo

1st tip ever but this place is deserving. Family party of 9 & not a single complaint. Top picks: either seabass , emperor & volcano roll , tataki, yellowtail cheek, doraku seafood salad . Strong drinks !

Doug W

Wasn't impressed with their special rolls (Emperor and God of Fire ) but the traditional sushi was great. Rolls could be rolled better but the ingredients were super fresh and delicious.

Jonathan Snook

The bigeye tuna nigiri was fantastic. The white dragon roll was delicious. The god of fire was wonderfully spicy .

Dedalus Creator

Emperor Roll , himachi Sashimi , all we tried was amazing!

Irma B.

Excellent and original sushi . Try White Dragon rolls ????.

Jeffie Nicholson

Nice atmosphere and good food. Excellent service . The sushi and the jumping shrimp were very yummy.

Paul Scappechio

This place is killer! Food is cheap and the happy was the best deal in town . Garlic edamame $3.50, Ahi Poke $5.00 (fking great), tuna tataki (yeah!!), etc, and the drinks! Out server Vuong was great.

Jeff Stafford

Happy hour is 4pm to 6pm. Pork belly soba and the tempura brownie were great. Emporer roll was disappointing, but worth a try.

Jira Ratchniyom

There is nothing special... try other sushi restaurant

Si Wei

We sat at the balcony which was very nice. The sashimi was delicious and a huge portion .

Helsa Ardino

Emperor roll is no regular sushi it's an experience that will probably leave you with several mouthgasms :) just sooo good!!!

Jay De Leo

I stop here for sushi at least once on trips to Honolulu/Waikiki and usually get any one of their spicy rolls .

Jennifer Batteen

Don't get the Cucumber Eel roll unless you know you like eel , has a very strong flavor. Red dragon roll and California roll are both delicious. I was freezing the whole time I was there. Staff was meh

Clau Clau

Hamachi carpaccio , emperor roll ... Everything was amazing!

Andres Martinez-Alegria

Volcano Roll , White Dragon, Spicy Tuna Deluxe and the no rice roll with the cucumber out part. Heaven!

Ms Helene

Brussel sprouts $9, miso butterfish $16 and seafood poké $14

Casey Lee

Fish was super fresh. Ordered the omakase and some extras. Super delicious. Banana flambé was the best.

Christina Dugan

Fish is fresh. Emperor roll is great. Brownie tempura reminds me of fried Oreos , of u have ever had them. It's not as good at the emperor roll .

Spencer Hansen

Cool atmosphere and great sushi . I had a Shogun roll and California roll . Delicious!

Kristina Park

Emperor roll is a MUST. My cousin also fell in love with the tempura brownie ...

Adrienne K

The Doraku sushi roll was amazing! Very fresh sushi and great service. A must try place!

Manu Galdurralde

Edamame as an appetizer always! Emperor rolls and red dragon are the best ones! Green tea is the perfect match

Karolina ????

White Dragon FTW! We stopped by around 3 on a Sunday, and most tables were empty.

Andy

Surprised that this is the highest rated sushi restaurant in Waikiki. Really depends what you're looking for. Not authentic Japanese and the sushi rice was pretty bad. Decent sashimi fish quality.

Mibi Harp

Lunch time bento is a great value ! Ice cream tenpura is ono and their garlic steak is delish!

Jeremy Fehr

The emperor roll is amazing!!

Tasha Major

You MUST order the Emperor Roll . Soooo delish!Come for Happy Hour (M-F 5-7) for great prices on basic rolls and Kirin beer . The tuna tataki is a win for $5!

Elisa Vazquez

If you're an Irish whiskey lover, the Jameson ginger has a lemon & ginger root garnish . Absolutely fantastic.

Electric Bamboo

Of course you'll roll over their sushi rolls . Bad puns aside, the choices and combinations of their selection of sushi rolls are excitingly different yet accessible.

Rian Boutilier

The Ahi Poke is a must! If you have nothing else, order 2 portions and revel in the deliciousness.

Abdulaziz

Emperor roll was super delicious.

Jeremy Gray

Very fresh sushi - tuna roll was great. White Dragon was delicious!

Buttercup D

Use the foursquare "special offer" if it's still going on! Sushi is decent. You can order a martini with "sake " in it for a little more $, instead of vodka . Don't know why they don't have "saketinis".

Tanya N

Lobster tempura is delicious. A must have every time I am there.

Maruel Unrein

The emperor roll was awesome! Definitely try the miso butterfish - it melts in your mouth!

Ying K.K.

Great place. Try their dragon rolls . Friendly staff . Balcony .

Samantha Perry

Amazing sushi . Get the dragon roll only compliant a little skimpy on the fish

Alissa Kim

THE best sushi place in Waikiki. Love the terrace and not to mention the dishes!

Lana Collier

Be careful where you sit at the bar . The humidifier was dripping on us while we ate and the staff had to come twice to wipe it off quickly before it fell. We were dripped on at least once.

Michal Mesko

Ultimate roll wasn't quite impressive, but Red Dragon is definitely worth it!
