Absolutely delicious food — I couldn’t leave without writing a review! Highly recommend this place.
The Garlic Squid was savory and addictive (perfect with beer), and the Sizzling Steak was flavorful and amazing. The sushi rolls (Salmon Crunch, Spicy Tuna, Unagi) were all super fresh and beautifully made. Everything I ordered was so delicious. No misses at all.
Loved the relaxed Hawaii local vibe, easy parking nearby, and the friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

It seemed like the owner and chef had recently changed. The taste and quality have been upgraded. This place has recently become my favorite restaurant. The rolls were fresh and the steak was cooked perfectly. The staff were also friendly.

Mahalo – Came to California Beach Rock n Sushi to celebrate a friend visiting Hawaii and my wife’s birthday — absolutely blown away. Best sushi on Oahu, hands down. The chef is easily the best I’ve met in the Pacific. Mixed sushi plate was incredible, drinks (beer + sake) were on point, and the vibe is a perfect blend of island warmth and Cali cool. Fast service, super kind local owner, and an all-around amazing evening. Bonus: I’m now officially a hero to my friends visiting from South Korea and my family. Can’t wait to come back. Sco

As regulars, we can say this spot consistently delivers fresh fish, creative sushi rolls, and tempting daily specials on the board. Our five stars are mainly for the uni, especially the Santa Barbara Uni!! you won’t find it served at other sushi restaurants on the island. We also appreciate that they make the effort to bring in both Hokkaido and Santa Barbara Uni.
The prices are another win very reasonable for the quality, no complaints there. Our usual order includes the King Salmon (rich and buttery), Otoro, Ikura, and the Principal Roll.
Be aware, this place does get packed and often booked by large parties. One thing we, along with other families, would love to see is a kids’ menu. Options like noodles, small portions of meat (spam, hot dogs), or eggs would be helpful for families with little ones though to be fair, many local kids enjoy the fresh fish too.

This used to be our go-to spot for Sushi, sad to say we will never be returning again. Last night we place a takeout order over the phone and waited about 40 minutes before driving to the restaurant to pick up our order (we were not given a time frame as to how long the order would take). We got there and were told our order was in the process of being made, after 30 minutes of waiting in the restaurant for the takeout order we were then told the chefs only began our order now. 30 more minutes passed (a total of an hour waiting at the restaurant) at this point we have seen families come in and out dining in… We were tired of waiting so we asked for a full refund and for them to just cancel the order, that’s when the hostess said they were almost done with the order. It was a Saturday night so we give them the benefit of the doubt of being crowded and the hostess looked flustered. BUT THEN, we waited another 30 minutes, we asked for a refund again the manager or maybe lead for the night said she was so sorry and told the hostess to just give us what sushi was made and refund us for the order. It took another 30 minutes for them to do this (we have waited about 2 hours at this point). We took the 4 rolls they made us (not the whole order), it was yummy and we were willing to let it go because the sushi was so ʻonolicious (and we got what we wanted even if it wasn’t everything. I am writing this review because today, we realized they charged us for the whole order that they didn’t even make and through us waiting 2 hours in person they didn’t even discount or rectify the solution (give us a refund) like they said they would.
Look, their food is soooo good and the hostess were nice! But I’m very disappointed, I didn’t think I’d have to spend my Saturday night waiting for sushi that I didn’t get and then get charged for the WHOLE order.

Ordered takeout today and there was a piece of plastic in the sushi roll. Needs more attention to detail. It was on the new jersey roll

We walked in and enjoyed the huge portions of yummy food! We chatted and watched tv. The staff is focused and the chefs ROCK. Every single item was yummy. Specifically the miso butterfish and even that was thick and not tiny like at some places. The combos have huge shrimp tempura

Great place for a date or late night dine, the food was fresh all the way to closing. The restaurant was clean and all the staff was friendly. The soft drink price is misleading though. All the fish was fresh and crisp.

Great, tasty, fresh sushi. The service here was really good. They have a great early bird special bento style box for just $23. We would go back!
