🌟 Local Boy Sushi – A Poke Bowl First to Remember! 🌟

Having been on island for a while, I finally tried my first poke bowl—and wow did Local Boy Sushi set the bar high! The locally caught ahi was incredibly smooth and fresh, practically melting in my mouth. I also sampled their salmon poke, which was equally delicious, and the eel—flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned—tied it all together. If every poke bowl from here on out is even half as good, I’m in for a great ride!

My wife ordered the Kailua pork nachos and immediately gave them a 20 out of 10. The pork was unbelievably tender and packed with flavor.

I have plenty to compare with since I’ve eaten sushi in many different places. It’s fine if you just want a quick bite and don’t have many options, but I don’t think I’d want to come back — maybe only as a...

Just had to drop a review for Local Boy Sushi Shop – it's that good! First off, super easy to find and get to in Kailua.

Prices? Really affordable, especially for the quality you get and being in Kailua.

You can tell it's run by a local boy – the sushi feels authentic, fresh, and just hits different.

The place has a cool, laid-back vibe, perfect for grabbing a bite with friends or chilling solo. We go after hiking olomana.

The crew here deserves a shoutout too. Super friendly, they make you feel right at home. They know their stuff and are happy to help with recommendations.Do yourself a favor and try the Lava Bowl. Trust me, it's a game-changer.

Seriously, if you're around, check this place out. It's a legit sushi spot that...
