This spot is definitely among the top three omakase experiences in Hawaii, including Hihimanu, Onodera. Sushi Sho is overated, IMO. I've been to about 70% of the high-end sushi restaurants across the islands and plan to try them all eventually, and this place holds its own. The pricing is fair for the high quality you get. Each piece of fish is incredibly refined, fresh, and generously portioned.

Just him and one other person, usually his wife, serving the whole counter. For a great night of sushi and sake, go here! It's BYOB, so bring some extra sips for atsushi to...
Read moreThis Omakase was amazing! Very small and intimate space. The chef was super friendly and nice to chat with during the dinner. Doesn’t feel too fancy, so it’s approachable if you’ve never been to one. This is a very good price for what you get, especially compared to other Omakase dinners that I’ve been to which are much more expensive. Food was delicious and I even got to try several things that I’ve never had before. Highly recommend this place! Also not very hard to get a reservation like...
