Highly recommended by my cousin. Haven't had the chance to stop in yet but I've heard that the food is excellent. Considering this as the second best place to eat sushi on Oahu

California Rock-N-Roll Sushi $$
Ward Ave (next to Dixie Grill)
(where we went for) Your birthday...WE WILL WE WILL ROCK YOU...definitely a place to see KHNL crew and (other)celebs...while sushi chefs pound clappers on the bar (and sing a bunch of songs off the ESPN Rock and Jock album)...platters, and rolls. there were some very inventive dishes. also other meal type dishes, suited for sharing.

Catch of the Day $
Oahu Islandwide
Cheap sushi in a hurry. Sushi floats around on boats in a waterway. You pay by the plate. Items are fairly bland and will not please a sushi lovers palate. Would not consider eating here for sushi.

Genki Sushi $ - $$
Oahu Islandwide
Cheap sushi in a hurry. Sushi comes to you on a rotating metal belt. You pay by the plate. Most locations are very busy during dinner. Some of the items are fairly imaginative. Many people recommend the spicy ahi poke sushi. One of the better inexspensive sushi places on the island.

Pagoda Floating Restaurant and Sushi Bar $$ - $$$
1525 Rycroft Street; (808) 941-6611.
Eaten here a few times. Sushi bar is separate from the buffet. Lunch is a good bet if Sushi Master Troy Teruya is working. Tried some very interesting natto combinations from him.

Sushi King $$$
2700 S King Street (near University); (808) 947-2836
Very Japanese style of sushi bar and restaurant. Food is good and prices are just above moderate. A walk in is possible but the restaurant is usually crowded at dinner and in the late evenings. Probably the number four place in my book

Yanagi Sushi $$ - $$$$
762 Kapiolani Boulevard (between Ward and Cooke); (808) 597-1525.
I'd rank this the third best place for sushi on Oahu. The fish is fresh and there's food for all types of people. Very popular with celebrities. Reservations are needed and there is valet parking only.
