    For those looking for an amazing omakase experience in town. Yohei delivers with excellence. Each bite was delightfully delicious, and the pacing was very attentive, allowing for rests between bites without leaving you waiting hungry for long. The service was relaxed and attentive as well. The restaurant also has an amazing refreshments section. I had delicious beer, sake, and tea! I would definitely come back!

    Excellent food! It was our first time eating at this restaurant with our entire family because we previously thought they only had a fixed price menu. We are from the ala carte menu. We were pleasantly surprised that the fish was SUPER high quality and incredibly delicious and not over priced. Beautiful decor. Attentive service. High-end experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend. And we will be back soon!

    Some of the sushi rice was hard and I had to spit it out 😆 Did they use yesterday’s rice? And they didn’t know we had a reservation until later on. Their one year anniversary special was good 👍

    We had a wonderful dinner at Yohei Kahala. We started with a kompachi & Hawaiian shrimp crudo followed by tempura and chicken karaage which were delicious. Our main dishes were an assortment of nigiri sushi. We met general manager Nobuhiro Miyazaki who was very gracious

    店内はとてもスタイリッシュ且つセンス良く和のテイストが取り入れられており非常に居心地の良い空間です。 カウンター、テーブル席どちらも素晴らしく用途に分けて選べます。 店内もお手洗いもとても清潔で日本の高級店と遜色ありません。 スタッフの方々の接客も素晴らしく気持ち良く食事が出来ます。 味に関しても私が知る限りこれだけ良心的な価格でハワイでこれ程美味しいお店はありません。 リーズナブルという点でも1番かもしれません。 年に何度かハワイに行くつもりですが毎回必ず行こうと思いました。
