Sushi Tokiwa

Great sushi! Great experience! Sushi bar was in the back of Restaurant Suntory, it was private, waitstaff was incredible, chefs were amazing and personable. Sushi was incredible.

One of the best sushi omakase I've ever had. Came on New Year's Eve, 8p seating, and had the $250 Tokiwa course. We ended around 1h 45 minutes later.Both sushi chefs are from Hokkaido, Japan. The Executive Chef, Kanto, comes from a Michelin-rated sushi restaurant in Hokkaido and Tokyo (Sushizen). I had the pleasure of experiencing his omakase talents during this dinner. Every single course was excellent. The best uni and chutoro I've ever had. The chutoro melted in da mouth and so delicious! The crab dish was also excellent. They do ala carte at the end of service. We had the choice of either repeating a dish we've already had or chef's choice. I chose chef's choice. Chef Kanto selected new sushi that were not served during the omakase service - a delicious cured salmon sushi (forgot to take a photo) and a wagyu sushi after that. Both were excellent. The salmon was $10 and wagyu $20 extra. Sushi Tokiwa is located within Restaurant Suntory in Royal Hawaiian Center in Waikiki. The sushi omakase area itself is in a quiet and private room that is separate from the teppanyaki and other areas of the restaurant.I had a wonderful New Year's Eve dinner here and I do look forward to visiting again. Definitely one of my favorite sushi omakase spots on the island!

All I will say is that this place has destroyed all my omakase experiences in NYC. By far, this is the best omakase we have had and this is not an exaggeration.Such a hidden gem that needs to be more known, The food is incredibly fresh and every detail and service was on point, and we will definitely come back.(Yes, we have been to Noz, Sho, Icca bla bla bla).

I appreciate beauty and art in all forms and Sushi Tokiwa nailed it. I was so grateful to my friends' family for treating me here. We stayed for almost 2 hours and I had an incredible time with them. Our sushi chef was very attentive and friendly. I had a ton of fun conversing in Japanese with everybody. I was admiring the skills of our sushi chef and how every motion was meticulously done when preparing the sushi one at a time. It was also my first time experiencing omakase where you use your fingers only with a small finger cloth to wipe your fingers with afterwards. The standout for me was definitely the Uni, Chu-Toro and Hokkaido crab. It was my first time seeing the huge ass hairy crab being prepared and actually being able to eat it fresh. Watching the chef deconstruct the crab was a show in itself. Uni was stellar, and had the usual smooth oceanic taste. I personally always love Chu-Toro so that's just me being biased lol. If you order alcohol and get the grapefruit or pineapple one then the servers will grind it fresh in front of you. LolThe other Japanese group that had their own chef had some kinky convos going on over there o.o LOL. Then I saw them at the Japanese bar next to Mosa :o singing Oppai and dancing into the club. Whoa.

Called ahead and asked if we needed a reservation in one hour and they said no. We walked in 45 min later and it's a 50 min wait. We asked if we could go to the bar for a drink and they said. I because there are no open seats We left...and won't go back.
