A hide gem, literally hidden in the pay parking lot in kaimuki. There are about six seats at the sushi bar. So super intimate. Sushi is fresh and delicious, and good amount of food for the $. There is no bone to pick even for a food snob like me. Glad that I took a chance with this restaurant.

Intimate atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food. We got the 21 course omakase and it did not disappoint! Even got a bonus nigiri of our choice at the end. We inadvertently wandered into the izakaya so we will have to go back and try that too.

First time coming here for an omakase. The place was relatively easy to find. It was clean and the staff were friendly. The ac may have not been working well as it was hot inside. The 22 courses were all delicious, so come hungry. There is a dedicated lot outside of the restaurant shared with other businesses. Reservations required.

Really enjoyed our omakase experience at Sushi Aki! Loved the intimate setting and super friendly service. Most of the fish comes from Japan and the quality is 10/10. The 19course meal is a lot of food and great value for the price. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for an omakase dinner!

Had the pleasure of trying their 19 course omakase. The seating is limited to 5 people so it was very intimate dinner. The quality of the food was great…fresh and we enjoyed that the sushi was spaced out in-between cooked dishes. They even have a special dish for our anniversary. Comparable to the meals in Tokyo for reasonable price.

Hidden Gem in Honolulu!

Intimate Omakase that seats only 6 people at a time. We had a hard time finding the entrance as it took us straight to Restaurant Aki. Entrance is the black door immediately to your left when you step in.

Chef Shoichi, his assistant Kayo, and the server Eddie (not sure if I spelled their names correctly) was very impressive and hospitable. They even texted us a day after to wish us well for our stay! Very kindhearted!

We had the 21 course omakase and was given a choice to select our most favorite out of the sushis for a 22nd piece! We also ordered a sake flight as well as Asahi beer for a sake bomb lol.

There is a PAID parking lot with plenty of parking if you can find a space.

I would highly recommend if you’re in town. Their menu changes every month and depending on the season so make sure to check them out!

Absolutely incredible omakase experience. Being able to watch each bite be created is truly a treat. Each course was completed with such care and finesse. Easily our favorite dinner on our visit to Hawaii, and would be the first thing I booked on a revisit to the area. The menu was incredible with a variety of things I had never tried plus some of your favorite sushi options. Loved this experience so much. Thank you Sushi Aki!

Sushi Aki is a quaint little sushi restaurant tucked away in a plaza in Honolulu. While it might be a bit challenging to find due to the lack of signage, the intimate and cozy atmosphere inside makes it well worth the search.

They offer 2 omakase options – 19-piece omakase and 21-piece omakase. I opted for the 19-piece omakase, which offered a delightful variety of fresh and high-quality sushi. The pace was quite fast, which worked perfectly for me as I had a flight to catch.

One unique aspect of dining experience at Sushi Aki is that not everyone in your group is required to participate in their omakase experience. If someone in your group wants to order from their a la carte menu, then that is totally fine too.

My 19-piece omakase included
1. Bluefin tuna and rock bream sashimi
2. Striped Jack sushi
3. Seared bonito
4. Flounder sushi
5. Salmon roe
6. Chilled corn soup
7. Rolled egg omlete
8. Seared scallop
9. Steamed egg with snor crab and shitake
10. Saltwater Eel and vegetable tempura
11. Seared vinegar cured mackerel
12. Black sea bream
13. Abalone in liver sauce
14. Chutoro
15. Sea Eel
16. Tuna skinny roll
17. Yellowtail
18. Seaweed miso soup
19. Dessert

The highlights for me were the sea eel, melt-in-your-mouth chutoro, mackerel, black sea bream, scallop, and the delicious chilled corn soup.

The 2 courses that fell short were the dessert and the abalone in liver sauce. The dessert was basically tangerine with tasteless jelly. And the abalone was a bit chewy.

Overall, the dining experience was great. The intimate setting allowed for interactions with other diners, adding to the charm of the restaurant. If you’re looking for a good sushi experience in Honolulu, Sushi Aki is definitely worth a visit.

This is a fantastic and traditional omakase! Many courses and is quite filling. Fresh and creative dishes. Highly recommend. They were also accommodating on food aversions.
