This trip, my oldest child, and I traveled together. Both of us like sushi, but neither of us love it. Then we found the vegan sushi roll. The dipping sauce which is some combination of ginger, garlic, and fairy dust along with the Wagyu beef...fried rice, which is made at the table in front of you, will make for a meal you will not forget. We went twice.More

Our lyft drive reccomended this place and we are so glad we tried it! It was some of the best sushi we have ever had. The chef made an extra roll and hooked us up. We got the eggplant miso roll and while it is...something we wouldn't normally go for it was delicious. Staff was so nice even though they were slammed.More

Excellent service from our waitress Skye who was five star! Food was delicious! We had the sushi sashimi platter and tempura veggies! Tipped it off with mochi ice cream! Awesome meal and convenient!

This is such a great Japanese restaurant, right next to the Sheraton Waikiki. The menu has so many delicious options, we had an excellent dinner. The kids had some more traditional sushi options, while my husband and I got the spicy ahi maki. The wagyu...garlic fried rice is a must - sizzling, and mixed at the table. We ended up ordering a second helping! The chicken karage was also great, as was the tempura vegetables. Staff were helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.More

I booked a table in advance but they put me to this stupid chair without any space for legs and and a lot of staff walking by. Thry just put a chair at a place they don't normally use. I left. They gave me this...crappy space while giving better seat to those without reservation. Food doesn't look particularly good so I'm not missing much. Just terrible treatment. I'll never come here again. ******* 予約して行ったのに酷いところあてがわれた。サービス最悪。味も大したことないと思う。日本人なら行く価値ないと思う。More

We wanted a place with fresh sushi and this place had decent prices and decent reviews. I did make a reservation online a few hours before. It is on the third floor of the mall there. They do have a patio but it is small,...but the restaurant is open air as well. The atmosphere here is super cool with live edge wood tables. They were busy but the server was doing the best he could keeping up with all of his tables so props to him. The hot tea here is actually really good. We ordered the spicy edamame for appetizer and it was really good and also quite spicy! We ordered three rolls, the god of fire, Hamachi garlic roll, and ultimate spicy tuna roll. All were pretty decent but the ultimate tuna was the best. We also ordered a nigiri which was just okay. We got the tempura brownie for dessert which was different and interesting! Due to the tempura batter, it felt like a brownie merged with a funnel cake. Overall most of the sushi places in Waikiki are over $20/roll. This place fits the bill for $20/roll or less and is pretty good for what it is.More

In Honolulu you are very much spoiled for choice so you don’t necessarily regret your decisions on food. This place was really good. Very reasonable prices and good selection with great taste. Nice view of the street which is nicely lit at night. I would...go again if staying for longer.More

Enjoyed a Friday night on the town at Doraku. Sat at the sushi bar. Lisa and Mars were really sweet and attentive. We had some good laughs with them and it made our night so much more enjoyable. Tasty food and drinks. They get busy,...so it’s best to make a reservation.More

Incredible sushi restaurant in the heart of Waikiki. Everyone in my family loved their food. Sushi was incredibly tasty and the yakisoba and fried rice were so good that we had to order more portions. Their menu is huge and has interesting options even for...vegetarian costumers. Service was impeccable. Our waiter answered all of the questions we had on the menu and took our order almost immediately, we were served only a few minutes after. Even the location is very suggestive. A must visit in Honolulu!More

Came for lunch and got to sit outside on the patio, fresh air and sushi is always good times. Don't recall what we had..but it was delicious, and the Lychee Martini was my favorite! Which we would have come in for happy hour, but it's...just 1 hour a day...so you gotta get there early and get it in while it lasts. Service was decent, took a while in-between delivery of food to get another round of drinks, but otherwise no issues.More

Enjoyed the chance to share our orders as they were brought out individually when ready. We were a large party and the server was attentive with our drinks. The servers were efficient with picking up empty plates. The restaurant was filled with patrons, and we...enjoyed the atmosphere. We ordered a variety and they were all good: popcorn cauliflower, Inaka sweet corn, edamame, spicy tuna roll among others. Would recommend!More
