Sushi Spot

I absolutely LOVE this restaurant. Let me get the cons out of the way: 1. Location isn't that great because the restaurant is small so it can only hold a small amount of parties at a time and it can get pretty busy. The parking can be a hit or miss because it can fill up due to the other businesses located in the area. But if you go right when they open or right after lunch rush, then you're set! And to be honest, it is worth the wait. 2. The menu is HUGE. I personally like the variety, the pictures provided and the descriptions given. But I've gone to the restaurant with other people who say the menu can be a bit overwhelming. I recommend giving yourself a head start by looking at menus and pictures on yelp so you know what to order.Now, what's great about the restaurant? The portion sizes, taste, quality and service! The portion sizes are fair for the price and it's hard to order anything that doesn't taste good. There's are items for those that don't like seafood, but limited items for those that are vegetarian or vegan. But let's be honest, this is a sushi restaurant. The quality of fish is great for the price you pay. And the service? Top notch. They're attentive and pay attention to detail. You also get one free miso soup. The food comes out pretty fast so you can be in and out of there. But again, this is based on the times I've went and I've been there during lunch, lunch rush, after lunch, and dinner. It's always been consistent for me.

Saw a review on IG and decided to give this a shot. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday evening so we weren't sure we would get in. It is a small restaurant with very limited seating. (6 tables)Lucky for us we were greeted with a smile and warm welcome as we walked in. She asked how many and we said six and there happened to be one table left open and it seated 6!As we looked through the menu she asked for our drink orders. Once those arrived she brought us each a bowl of miso soup. It was unexpected and really hit the spot. We ordered some shrimp tempura, four different sushi rolls, chicken katsu and for dessert fried Oreos with ice cream. The items arrived one by one as they were made. First out was the shrimp tempura. 2 pieces for a great starter with the miso. Next out was the crab tempura roll. Delicious. After that the chicken katsu came. Crisply fried and the sauce was great.The Kamikaze roll was next. May have been a favorite at our table. My selection was the Lion King. Delicious! The pieces are stuffed so full and high that you had to take two bites. So good. This roll is baked and the cream cheese left it so creamy I may have been wise to use a fork as the chopsticks made it fall apart. It was delicious no matter how sloppy it may have looked as I ate it. The last roll to arrive was the Mt Fuji. It was really good too. There wasn't a roll that we wouldn't order again. We are known for over ordering when we go out but believe it or not to our shock and amazement we ate every bite and had nothing left to take home. The dessert came out and everyone divided it up. Our waitress even brought us some extra ice cream to share. We didn't stick around any longer than we needed to bc there was a line of people waiting to have a seat and our table was in demand. I'd definitely return again. Just beware you may have a wait when you arrive. I believe it would be worth the wait though. Enjoy.

Finally got to dine here.The menu was extensive with lots of sushi rolls. There was actually a lot to choose from. The waitress greeted us and brought out water and miso soup right away. Luckily it wasn't busy. I noticed that at the bottom of my clear cup, there were tiny white things stuck, and little bits floating around. The dishwasher didn't do a good job immediately. Unfortunately I didn't notice this until I drank half the water already. Check your cups before you drink! Ordered 3 rolls. SOS. Salmon Cali. Titanic.See photos for more info. I enjoyed all three rolls. The ambiance was casual and like a small mom and pop restaurant. Definitely will be back again to try more rolls! I'll be sure to check my cup too. Haha.

Great sushi rolls in Aiea!The storefront was an unassuming restaurant in a strip mall area. I expected spicy ahi bowls and sushi platters, but you could get Sansei level rolls here too! The shop itself was small, with a few tables and chairs and a bar area. The nigiri was good, but if you compare it to other izakaya's in town it's not quite the a same level. The rolls are what you should order and appears to be Sushi Spot's strong suit. This place offered sashimi and nigiri, but also had an assortment of Americanized influenced rolls like California rolls, caterpillar roll, and the rainbow roll. They even have cream cheese...I personally don't understand cream cheese with rice, but you uninitiated can get that. There are just so many roll combinations. It's overwhelming since there were so much to choose from. I usually get one roll with salmon, one with spicy ahi, and one with unagi.Service was great, like you'd expect from most Japanese restaurants. The take out was well packaged with a cardboard carry box. I've come here a few times. I've tried nigiri, the rolls, and fried stuff like chicken katsu and mandoo. Mandoo may not be Japanese but they make it good. Agedashi tofu is a must try and really good. Go for the fancy rolls! Can't go wrong. I never took pictures of the rolls. I just ate it too fast.

Here we are on Christmas Eve and looking to fill our bellies with yummy food. It's been over 10 years since we've been here and they're still here in the same spot. Interior looks different, clean and bright. And everyone inside is absolutely lovely, all are friendly and amazing. We were able to get a table for 5 very quickly. The kiddies shared chickens katsu plate and the adults shared a bunch of nigiris (hamachi, salmon, maguro and unagi) and a spicy tuna hand roll: The kiddies were extremely happy with the chicken katsu, licked up their plates clean.The staff gave them all each a vanilla ice cream scoop. So nice of them!!!Definitely a place to add to our take-out list for those days when the hubby needs to cook. :)

Stopped by again and got to go this time since it was so busy! I got the hamachi hand roll, SMT, Spicy Ahi, and Rainbow #2 roll. Everything was ready in 15 mins. The staff is still friendly and helpful! The rolls were huge and tasted great! Definitely one of my new favorite spots.

Best place for me to get my sushi fix. Would always come here for takeout. Employees are always giving warm welcomes. Switched it up this time and got myself an SOS roll and it was so delicious. The fish was so fresh! Only thing is I wish there was bigger avocado pieces on top.

I came here on my lunch break and the moment I stepped foot there, I felt welcomed. The staff there promptly greeted us and sat us right away. Within seconds of sitting down, we received water and miso soup to start with. The miso soups were complimentary which is rare but also a very nice surprise and service. We ordered spicy ahi hand rolls, Tobiko nigiri, unagi handroll, hamachi nigiri, shrimp tempura apps, and the kamikaze roll. Everything we ordered came out in a prompt manner. The sushi tasted so good. The hand rolls were good in portions, the ratio between rice and fish was perfect for me. In terms of ambiance, it was casual, clean and not too loud. The place got busy though. Overall, I loved this place. I will be coming back more often for lunch since the service was so accommodating and fast. Highly recommend!!!!

This place was open on Christmas Eve. I called in a last minute take out order at 7 pm and was pleasantly surprised.It's a small spot but nice and cozy. All the staff greeted me when I arrived and thanked me before I left.The quality and quantity were great. We ordered a few nigiri and some rolls. The pieces of fish were nice and big and not too much rice. The rolls had nice pieces of ahi and salmon as well.Would definitely go back again and this May be our new sushi spot!

They serve a delicious complimentary miso soup! Their miso soup is a palette cleanser!
