Ahi and Vegetable - Kapalama — Restaurant in Honolulu

I’m not sure why there’s such a big difference between this location and the Ala Moana Location. All of the raw fish I've eaten here don't taste as good compared to the times that I order the same thing at the Ala Moana location, especially the standard ahi poke. I've started only ordering the cooked items when I go to this location, and at least I haven't been disappointed by those.

2023 Update: Holy moly, things have really started going downhill for Ahi and Vegetable. The taste of the fish is still pretty much the same as it was when I left my original review, but now everything is almost $5 more expensive. In addition, there were inexcusable issues with my most recent order there. One of the dishes was completely wrong, I ordered a bento and they gave me a salad. The biggest issues were that there were fish scales in my nigiri and fish bones in my sashimi. This is absolutely ridiculous for a place that supposedly specializes in fish.

2025 Update: Somehow ended up back here again, and paid the price. I swear that everyone that comes here for the AYCE simply doesn’t care if they’re putting garbage into their bodies. All of the raw fish I ate had poor texture and taste, and was very fishy smelling. Everyone in my party ended up getting food poisoning. DOH needs to shut this location...

UNABLE TO TRAVEL TO JAPAN RIGHT NOW, BUT FEEL A STRONG URGE FOR AN IMAGINARY EXCURSION TO THE FAR EAST? Then, consider a short journey to Ahi and Vegetable for an experience close to going abroad. And, while you're there, please pass over their ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT SPECIAL SUSHI MENU. My brother-in-law and I tested this theory. And, I believe, it held up!!! :):):) PLEASE test my claim

Nestled in the Kapalama Shopping Center, this excellent, one-of-a-kind restaurant, serves an excellent variety of seafood and vegetable dishes. Their spicy ahi, and unagi bento (plate), were especially nice with a complementary serving of miso soup. We'll be back. A great relaxing, friendly restaurant environment for members of the entire family.

This time, I ordered an amazing garlic salmon dish and a side order of spicy salmon. You can't go wrong on either.

PLEASE NOTE: They also have an amazing all-you-can-eat special menu. For a fixed price, you can order a wide assortment of sushi and sashimi items. They recommend starting with a reasonable order and adding more as you test your appetite. NOTE: HOWEVER, PLEASE BE.WARY: IF you leave unfinished sushi on your boat (your sushi and sashimi are served in an elegant well hand-crafted wooden boat), you must pay extra for your uneaten...

I will always love Ahi and vegetable however it's been at least six years since my last review and things have changed. First of all, they have a $35 all you can eat with pretty extensive hours. We went on a Wednesday afternoon around 12:30 PM and was able to get a seat easily. We did not order the AYCE since the kid doesn't eat much but we did see boats of sushi going past us and it looked absolutely delicious. The kid ate the salmon bowl which raised their price at least nine dollars since six years ago. Inflation at its best. She said it was mostly rice however and the cuts were definitely much more thinner. It did come with miso soup as usual. I had the spicy Ahi Bento which went up about three dollars. It was just ok, kinda dry. I also ordered a two piece salmon nigiri since it was happy hour. As good as it was, the pieces are not as thick and plump as it used to be which was sad. The calamari I thought was burnt but when I tasted it, was not. It was seasoned well, but super oily and only leg pieces. would I go again? Yes. However I was disappointed that the cuts were much thinner than what they used to give. Maybe next time I will try the AYCE as it looked...
