Musubi Cafe Iyasume

Grab your musubi's from Musubi Cafe Iyasume. It's perfect for a quick bite, picnic, field trip, and really just to eat at anytime. They also have poke bowl. My favorite is their spicy tuna mayo, spam with cheese musubi, and peppered spam musubi. My only ask is if they can add a little more tuna on the spicy tuna mayo. The ratio is off, there's too much rice but not enough tuna. The staff is always friendly. The young guy is my favorite staff. He had the brightest smile. The cafe is small but is packed with musubi, bento plate and merchandise for souvenirs. It's located next to Jamba Juice in Kahala mall. There's lots of parking too. It's easier to get into than the one they have in Ala Moana. I can make musubi but the convenience of buying it is sometimes easier specially if you're in rush. Thank you for reading my review. Have an A L O H A Friday!

Located at Kahala Mall. Park near Whole Foods and right in the food court area. Masubis always hit the spot. I always go for the spam, tuna mayo,, and shrimp tempura and the beef bowl. They have a section where you can pick from the already made but don't worry if you can't find it just order at the counter and you'll get a freshly prepared one. I actually prefer it this way as it's prepared as you order.

Love stopping by any of their locations for a quick snack! I always get the spicy mayo tuna variations of their onigiri, and their musubi with avocado are surprisingly good! Great choice for something to snack on in-between adventures- Miguel Morales Photography

Came here around 0845am, there weren't a lot of choices ready yet but the lady was so nice to make it for us even though we ordered one of each. We got Salmon Roe&Salmon, Eel Musubi, Tuna Mayo, Salmon Mayo, Black Peppered SPAM, and a Shrimp Bento Box. Everything was so good and made fresh and ALOHA! I will definitely come back here for my musubi fix!This store is located inside the Kahala Mall which is not hard to find and there's lots parking!

Place cute as their Musubi...Located near the Kahala Mall grand fountain is this cute and cozy store. Musubi Cafe Iyasume is found all the across the island and is just known for their bento and musubi with or without Spam and is all basically made to order.These ladies in the back work their magic to make an incredible amount of choices you're given and I do love my Spam plum with the traditional Spam musubi with a seedless Ume right under the spam giving the salty/sour combo bridging the Hawaiian local and traditional Japanese into this simple yet flavorful merge into this handheld treat.They do have some musubi that's pre-made though majority are made to order but they do work very fast with rice cooked to perfection and seasoned just right is a favorite here with the constant flow of folks knowing exactly what they want as this portable yummy is the fast food version of our favorite savory snack has a great system to make it here in Kahala.Thank you!

Easy parking outside, you'll see Whole Foods and right when you enter the mall it'll be on your right side.7 Days OPEN from 8:00am-6:00pm per their website but others seems to have issues on their hours of ops Ambience is pretty busy with all the different types of food to select from! Tons of SPAM combos and Riceball selections that DO NOT always have meat in them.I only wish they filled up the musubi's with a little more protein. Overall, such an easy place to grab and go where you're headed too. It makes sense why they have 6 different locations

I'm not impressed at all! Basic Spam musubi is pathetic! Spam is small, overcooked and dry like cardboard. Spam musubi is poorly made and falls apart when eating. Teriyaki musubi was not much better. Kombu and salmon musubis are equally poorly made. I don't think I'll bother going there again

This was just okay. BUT. That's 100% our fault because we didn't realize until after we ordered that you can ask for what you want off the menu, instead of picking from whatever's pre-made and sitting out on the trays. We got the spicy tuna, spam and egg, and salmon - my favorite was definitely the spam and egg. I'm not the biggest fan of spam but whoever thought of the combo of fried spam, seaweed, and rice was a genius. This makes for a nice portable snack but my one nit is that there was just too much rice. I love rice as much as the next Asian but I also love lots of filling and there wasn't much of it in either the salmon or the spicy tuna. This location is inside the Kahala Mall so free parking isn't an issue, yet I've heard better things about the other locations. They also have bento boxes if you're craving something more substantive than a musubi.

Got an avo shrimp roll, clearly labeled but no avo. $3.98 waste for this small roll. Also go their Tuna musubi and it tastes spoiled! Idk if they add vinegar to the mayo or what but that tasted sour and rancid, I couldnt finish. I bought all these at around 1230pm. I just wanted something simple I was like oh good some musubi for lunch. Also their spam is like cardboard Everytime too ugh! All their bentos look unappetizing too and the noodles look so oily..not quality at this location..the alamoana lanai food court is better quality and I think they actually make effort in that. This kahala location is pretty much consistently bad everytime I pick up some things from here which is not often but often enough times to conclude I should stop getting from here...overpriced too for the quantity. Learned my lesson.

So glad they have a location at Kahala Mall! I go at least once a week to get lunch! It's a popular place as there is always a long line! I see most people buying the Musubis!They make it fresh so you can order if they're not already available!I go and check out the bentos to see what's available, usually so many choices! Check out my pictures!My favorite is the Butterfish, rice, corn noodles, nishime! Then i go and stand in line! Remember to use your reward stamp card for every $5 you spend!
