SushiMan Hawaii Kai

Hey Yelpers! Cletus is back for more reviews! This is a review for SushiMan Hawaii Kai, located by Panda Express, another one of the classics! (Haha!) The restaurant is a small one, never too busy and the service is great. They are usually quite quick but if you do have to wait, there is indoor and outdoor seating. On a sunny day and desirably with company, I would sit on the water, overlooking the marina! The best thing one could order from this business is the crunch don. Unfortunately no photo for today. The flavors mix together splendidly and I feel this would be a nice for anyone! I definitely recommend this if you are new to this restaurant or new to any sort of japanese cuisine!

I've been coming here for YEARS. Dynamite maki and crunch don is the best sellers and my two favorites The hand rolls are the best and big!But why my 3 stars?They changed lot over the years and recently have changed how they make their dynamite maki. Myself and many other Hawaii Kai residents who use to love their dynamite maki have noticed and don't like whatever they have done to the recipe. Crunch don still good though!

This was my first time at SushiMan and I'm so glad I came and picked up lunch from here. Friendly local family business and I was greeted by Alexa who also gave me recommendations to try!She told me about the Crunch don which they offer in a spicy and mild version which is great for those who can't handle too much spice! I also got a matcha latte with whole milk. The crunch dons had a bed of rice, spicy ahi w/sauce, and topped with crunchy fried onions, edamame, and green onions I believe. The textures made for a satisfying meal and the fish to rice ratio was great. I also thought the portion was big, I was full eating half of it so I was able to save the other half for a second meal! I felt that I got a good amount for what I paid. As for the matcha latte, I can be picky with places especially because lots of places that sell matcha lattes just taste like milk or are clumpy, etc. But I really enjoyed theirs! Plus they have a cream top that makes the drink even better. Overall, if you're a matcha girly and sushi lover, this is your 2 in 1 stop! Definitely coming again!

Good quick sushi fix! They have lots of different options for rolls. I got the dynamite which is 8 pieces but definitely filled me up. The dynamite maki comes with shrimp tempura and cucumber inside with spicy ahi, spicy mayo, and unagi sauce on top. Everything is better with some unagi sauce!! The spicy ahi is cut in small pieces which makes it easier to eat as well as mixes well with the spicy mayo sauce. I wish the shrimp was bigger, but the tempura was soooo crispy adding a great crunch to the roll. Although i wish there was more shrimp I would order this roll again.

My favorite is the crunch don, dynamite maki, and shrimp tempura maki. I gotta say it's the best I've tried and I'll keep coming back for a quick sushi fix. Service is very good. Ambiance is what you'd expect for a small sushi shop.

Always fantastic sushi, and a clean little shop with friendly staff. Extensive menu that always has something I want.

Just hiked the Koko Crater and we were craving some sushi. This came up in a search, so we dined in, ordering couple of their rolls and a Katsu bento box. They were made to order and tasted pretty decent. The rolls were a bit on the larger size (per bite), as the there was more rice than should've been.

I had the Spicy Salmon Maki. Service was great and fast. However, the salmon did not taste super fresh. I paid $19, which is a bit expensive for what it is.

I have been coming to Sushiman for longer than I'd like to admit because it would age me, haha! My friends worked here in high school when we were growing up and it was our go-to on the way to, or home from Sandys. I always get the spicy Ahi don (bowl) and its so so good. Fresh spicy ahi, pickled daikon, edamame, cucumber, ginger, and tobiko. Second go-to is the dynamite maki which is a roll that comes with shrimp tempura and cucumber topped with spicy Ahi. It is super good. Definitely recommend Sushiman the next time you are headed out for a beach day or headed home from a long beach day. It really hits the spot!

Very demure, very nice and clean place. and very good and fresh food. With a beautiful view!
