Three of us got the $100 tasting menu at this relatively new omakase in Honolulu. The location was relatively easy to find, but I thought the interior decor was a bit odd but still fine.
I had some omakases before and this one felt up there in terms of freshness. I do miss the experience of “seeing” before being served but understand this is a very small seating. Memorable dishes include the toro with the foie gras was actually very unique and good, alongside the shirako with soba.
The ala carte menus is actually very reasonably priced and can easily sample a lot of interesting stuff.

We visited Toro recently for the second time, and it was… okay. The 80s music is fun, and the intimate 10-seat sushi bar make for a nice atmosphere only slightly marred by the mess of Stanley mugs and water bottles at the end of the bar.
Service was mostly friendly and accommodating, although there was confusion between our allergies and another party which resulted in us getting the wrong dish. Not a big deal, but chef was just like “oh, my bad. Enjoy.”
The food was good, but they have you select your omakase course before arriving ($100, $200, or $300, and that’s how you select them). We ordered the $300 course expecting lots of premium ingredients, but we left somewhat disappointed. Some dishes were truly excellent and creative, such as the tako poke made with fresh Osaka seaweed. Much of the fish was very good to excellent, but the rice was cold and hard and the wasabi was not fresh real wasabi (aside from one dish that used minced wasabi). Flavors were hit or miss, with the hits being amazing and the misses being okay but not great.
Overall the meal was okay with some highlights that would have been at home in a Michelin star restaurant. Nonetheless the $300 price tag was more than the meal warranted, and better omakase is available for less in Honolulu. We might visit again and order a la carte, but we don’t feel Toro is worthwhile for omakase.

This was the first experience with omasake for both my wife and I, and we were blown away. We wanted to make this the highlight of our anniversary trip, so we opted for the 16-course $300 menu, and feel we absolutely got our money’s worth on all fronts. Every bite was delicious, a lot of bites were weird, and the meal as a whole was one we’ll both remember for a very long time.
The staff was very friendly, and both chefs were thorough in the description of each dish. Despite each of the 10 seats filling up over the course of our first few dishes, there was never more than a minute or two’s delay between the end of one dish and the next course being served. The small setting was a bit loud once everyone was comfortable and chatting, but that wasn’t a problem at all for us – it honestly enhanced the experience, and helped it feel a bit more inviting to talk amongst ourselves and with the staff.
We did wish that we had a menu with descriptions to reference; some of the courses were complex enough that it was tough to keep it all in mind as we were enjoying each course, but not having one didn’t detract from the meal at all. We just want to remember it all!
Very impressed all around with Toro, and we’ll definitely recommend it to anyone we know who is looking for a top-tier dining experience in Oahu.

We made reservations for the $100 menu and we got a detailed confirmation and information on how to get there as it is a little confusing, it almost has a feel of a speakeasy. We had the most amazing experience, the waitress and both chefs were super friendly and hospitable. The food was absolutely incredible, we loved every single bite. Both the presentation and the flavors were awesome. Truly, such a special experience overall!

Craaaaazy good omakase. It truly felt like we were back in Japan. This place is well off the beaten trail, seats 12, and is tucked away in a seemingly mostly empty shopping center. Don’t be discouraged. The moment you open the door you’re transported to a wonderful little sushi bar. Staff was extremely friendly. Omakase options come in $100, $150, and $300 offerings. We did $150 and were satiated, leaving full but not stuffed. The menu was interesting and unique, making dinner feel special.
I can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough if you’re looking for a unique experience – and want to get out of the touristy side of Waikiki.

Great small sushi spot in town. I loved that the seating was limited. It was great to watch our food being crafted in front of us. My wife and I love eating sushi around the world and this was the best spot we have been to in Hawaii. Highly recommend and we will be back!

We had reservations so we didn’t have to wait. The chef was very sociable and smiled warmly. The waitress was timely and none interruptive.
As we had to bites pair serving , the chef moved a little fast at serving next plate so I could be a little slower to aloud savor his delicious meal and our conversation.
Sushi was beautifully plated and it was an overall delicious and pleasant experience.

Amazing omakase experience for dinner. Small place only seats about 10 people so make reservations in advance. The Nara mist cocktail was delicious!

Took my family (party of 6) to Toro for their holiday omakase and it was a hit! The food was delicious, ambiance was lovely and the staff is so friendly. I actually wasn’t able to book for 6 of us so I reached out and they accommodated us 🙂 because it’s just the counter it’s a very cozy, intimate vibe.
also free parking up to 2 hrs!

We made a reservation for the $100 course. They have $150 and $300 options. After making a reservation they will send a message confirming your choice and share parking information. There’s a parking structure with ample parking (and it’s free for the first two hours). The restaurant is tucked away inside the building, but they have good signage that makes it easy to find.
The omakase meal itself was pretty good with some elements of creative fusion flair. At the time that we’re eating (June 2025), they served us aburi (torched/flame grill) otoro (fatty tuna) with foie gras, which was amazing. I never liked the texture of foie gras, but the torched version was amazing! The fat on fat combination was surprisingly good.
We also had A5 Wagyu with truffle butter. The flavor combination was good, but the Wagyu was slightly chewy, which was interesting considering that it should be mostly fat, and we also noticed that the chef made many tiny cuts into the meat in an effort to “tenderize” it.
We also really enjoyed the shrimp with ikura and dashi agar (jelly). The ikura was really fresh. I liked the idea of the dashi agar, visually stunning, but I’m not 100% convinced by how much flavor it adds as it had a slight bitter aftertaste to it which I felt detracted from the experience.
Everything else was really good and fresh! Had a combination of skipjack tuna, shima aji (striped jack), Hokkaido scallop, spicy tuna on top of crispy rice cake (tuna was really good, the rice cake was also good, could be slightly smaller to accommodate one bite, and the sauce could be slightly less sweet).
We ordered an additional chawanmushi at the end that was pretty good (takes extra 10 min)
Drink: yuzu mint and shiso mocktail. Pretty solid. Would like a little more shiso flavor.
The price point is slightly higher in my experience (maybe it’s standard in Hawaii). We were in and out within an hour. But, overall, a great experience. They also have lunch courses which are more affordable and happy hour ~4-5.30pm (?) (don’t quote me not that) with hot food bites and sushi.
