Manoa Sushi

Cubed ahi bowls are an acquired taste, but I have no complaints about the quality of the seafood. I do think their bowls are a better deal than the hand rolls in terms of quantity, but everything is well made and their menu is sizable.They are fast and easy to dine in or take out.

I wanted to like this place. I've actually been here before and I thought I'd give them another shot since I was in the area. It seems like they had some renovations because the interior is really nice and there are quite a few tables to sit at, but it smells kinda funny inside. If it's a nice day, it might be nice to sit outside. I ordered the crunch don, which I guess is kinda what they're known for. My first bite was great. The veggie tempura is cut into bite sized pieces. It was very crunchy and there was a delicious sauce drizzled on it. There was quite a lot of spicy ahi on top, but the texture was kinda weird, like I was questioning if it really was ahi. It was probably frozen, but I've had previously frozen ahi that doesn't taste quite like what I had at Manoa sushi. The service was pleasant and they made my order quickly. They have a credit card minimum like a lot of mom and pop places. I think I'd come back to get something other than poke. I wonder if they do a crunch don without the poke..... prices for bowls and rolls seem normal compared to other places. Everything is expensive nowadays. Manoa marketplace isn't my favorite place to park, but there are quite a lot of different places to eat here.

Delicious & fresh sushi. My kids love the keiki bento boxes. We come here to get quick and good sushi!

I have been going to this place for years. Their customer service is always wonderful. The ambiance in there is a very traditional Japanese homestyle. One of my favorites is called the crunch don. I highly recommend this place!

What a pretty good place. I have been craving for a good poke bowl. And I believe I just found it!! The Crunch Don was amazing. Love the freshness and the flavor. I would for sure come back.

My husband ordered sushi from here forgetting that I told him it's expensive and not worth what you get. I had to throw away a bunch of sushi that he ordered yesterday because the rice was old and hard and the fish was not worth eating. He spent over $40 and I only got to eat half of it yesterday which wasn't the best quality.

Stopped by to pick up sushi for lunch. Ordered the rainbow maki, a California hand roll and a spicy vegetable hand roll. The rainbow maki was definitely a mouthful. The rice was bland. No sushi rice flavor that I like. The hand rolls were better, and I enjoyed the spicy vegetable roll overall. Service was good and there are seats and tables for indoor eating. . No pictures taken.

I was craving some spicy ahi today and I wanted to go somewhere close. So I decided to try out Manoa Sushi! I've been told that their Crunch Bowls are SUPER good, but it's not what I expected. ***What I ordered **Crunch Don ~ (5/10) The spicy ahi sits on top of a vegetable pancake. The pancake was a little soggy and the fish quality wasn't the best. Although, this isn't bad for a quick on the go food! Honestly, I'm glad that the rice wasn't dry either!Overall, I would come here if I need a quick fix in the area, but other than that I don't think I will be coming here very often.

Save your money and go buy your poke at Safeway or Off the Hook. My picky child who only likes Tamago nigiri insisted I purchased his lunch from here. $6 is such a rip off for some thin egg slices. Only 3 pieces! Also, is there a Nori Shortage? The amount of Nori used is laughable. Idk how people afford sushi here. Their outdoor menu has no prices, it forces you to go inside. Avoid.

We've passed by Manoa Sushi numerous times on our many visits to Manoa Marketplace. We're usually there fairly early - to go shopping at the Farmer's Market or to pick up some breakfasty things at Brug or Fendu, and Manoa Sushi isn't typically open at that time.So, the other day, as lunch time approached and our daughters were craving sushi, we figured we'd head there to give them a try (instead of going to one of our standard sushi stops).We ordered: tamago, inari, crunch don, and veg tempura curry. Tamago and inari are pretty basic, so it's hard to mess those up in my opinion. Although, having said that, our girls are tamago snobs and have the criticized the taste of the tamago from some other places. Happy to say that Manoa Sushi's tamago satisfied their discerning palates. The other items were so-so. The veg tempura in the crunch don and veg tempura curry were a little bland. So was the poke on the crunch don. The flavor on the curry was ok. Not the best we've had, but also not the worst.Shop was very clean.Service was very pleasant, especially since communicating through masks and broken English (them, not me) can be challenging.Food was ready quickly.Since we were getting take out, they put the curry in a separate container - instead of pouring it on the tempura and having it get soggy. Wasn't expecting that. Very thoughtful.Oddly, there's a $ minimum to pay with a credit card. Really?COVID protocols - Masks for customers and staff. No indoor seating/dining. Take-out only.Support local businesses!
