This is a great Sushi. The owners have a new lovely location near KTA in Waimea. Closed Sunday and Monday. I am here at least once a week for lunch or a early dinner. I tell all of my guests at my B&B to eat here. Super fresh fish. A busy - helpful staff. There is always a smile on... More

It's a hole-in-the-mall kind of place, with decent sushi at decent prices. If you go expecting the best sushi on earth, as has been suggested, you're likely to wonder which planet the other reviewers have eaten sushi on. If you go expecting a Japanese lunch joint, you won't be disappointed. Unless of course a friend of the waitress comes in... More

The food was pretty good, but what surprised me was that saki was not on their menu. Perhaps they don't have a liquor license?

Beware - drove for 45 mins based on reviews and arrived at 815pm. Hours advise close at 9. Restaurant was closed. Be careful before committing to a long drive to be disappointed! Even when the employees present in the dining area didn't try to assist. Mahalo!

After having read all those reviews I had very high expectations and expected to get disappointed. I love sushi and I am lucky to have one of the best sushi places (my opinion!!) near where I live in Windsor, UK. Everywhere I travel, I try the sushi in order to compare it to my favourite place, it's kind of a... More

We love Aka sushi! Great place to get freshly made to order sushi. Mo and his staff are very friendly. We just ordered a platter of sushi for a small family gathering and everyone loved it.
