Sushi Sasabune Hawaii

This was our 2nd time dining at Sushi Sasabune and it was as good if not better than our 1st experience.

I have been here twice for Chef’s Choice at the bar. One of the best experiences I have ever had including Japan- the unique pairings and flavors are amazing - the chefs opened the restaurant 20 years ago and take great pride. I will go here for a special evening every time I am in Oahu. Simply one of the best meals I have had anywhere in the world.

Best sushi in Oahu, been going here for years and will continue to.

Mindblowing! Hands down the best meal of my life. I love sushi and this was the best sushi I have ever had in the world. Incredible service as well- ever dish is described in detail with recommendations on how to eat it. Wonderful, sensory experience.

My husband and I dined here on the final night of our honeymoon and what a treat it was! We sat at the bar and had the ‘omakase’ (chef’s set menu) which was absolutely delicious. It went very nicely with the bottle of sake we drank.
The produce was fresh, delicious, high quality and with a lovely local twist. Either the garnish was a Hawaiian flavour or the fish was a locally caught favourite of Hawaiians. Every course was described to us before we ate, by the very knowledgeable staff.
We left full and very satisfied. Would highly recommend for a special occasion as with the wine and tip we spent around $300. But no regrets as it was so delicious!

Always an amazing experience. Great quality, nice ambiance, attentive service. The chef’s omakase is unique and creative with a nice blend of high quality standards and Hawaiian and other memorable twists. I visit Hawaii every few months and make a point to by here every time.

いつも美味しく安定した新鮮なネタで大満足しています。
オーダーの必要がないので、なにがでるのか楽しみなのと、醤油を使わないことで新しい感覚が楽しめます。

Always excellent service and amazing sushi.

I had not been to Sasabune for about 15 years...maybe I had it built up in my mind of how great it was back then ....not saying it isn’t great now but maybe just not as fabulous as I had in the past.

Great experience.

Fantastic and unique sushi.

The Chef's menu will not disappoint! Explanations of each dish convey a thoughtfulness for every taste in Chef's chosen order. The food was immaculate, delicous, and so fresh!

Sasabune does not disappoint! Omakase menu is so good. The chef is the real deal. Be open minded and try new things. Let the chef take you on a sushi journey!

Outstanding location for high quality sushi. Omakase and a la carte options are available, but I highly recommend the omakase to get the full experience.

This is not a good choice for someone who is not an avid sushi eater, or who is not familiar with the concept of omakase. This restaurant is very formal in their presentation of the omakase experience, and they can be firm about exactly what is the right way to eat each specific dish. For some who are not interested in or familiar with omakase, I could easily see this coming across as pushy or judgmental (for example, it would be a bad idea to ask for a dish of soy sauce, if they wanted you to dip your sushi in soy sauce then they would have put it in front of you and told you to do it).

That being said, if you love sushi and enjoy the omakase experience, you can not afford to miss this restaurant. This ranks among the best sushi I have ever had.

Some of the best sushi I’ve ever eaten. It’s a great place to take a group of friends, eat some great food and have some laughs. Outstanding.

One word.... amazing!

It’s my favorite sushi place of all time. Not only is the sushi the freshest and unique but the experience is second to none!

On vacation with my family. We had our 11 month old son and even though they didn’t have a high chair they were very accommodating. Everything was delicious and the service was very good. It was definitely expensive but worth it for the experience.

Absolutely amazing!

Great sushi restaurant for weekend and special occasion!

Everyone was so friendly. They explained every course and how to best eat it. It was all delectable.

If you're looking for a traditional Japanese style sushi this is not the place. No food menu, just drink menu. You eat what the chef makes. With that being said, this is one of the best "sushi" places we have ever ate at. They turn sushi not just into art but also cuisine. They fuse flavors together that you would never think of putting on a fish or sushi. They use local ingredients and local fish, which is amazing. They turn traditional sushi into a classy gourmet tasting that will leave you wanting more.

Overall just felt like a typical sushi experience not really omakase. No interaction with the chef and the “traditional” vs “Japanese” omakase felt very similar just different order

Outstanding food as always. We love it here!

We had an amazing experience. The food was fantastic. The service was excellent and the recommendations were on point. Im already looking forward to bringing friends so that they can share our experience. We're definitely coming back.

The omakase was amazing with all staff assisting everyone there! Very kind and easy. They asked that if my beer was low that they can refill my glass and they will of you allow them to. For the price and type of dinner occasion, it was great!

For the Omakase, they put has sauce on every piece of fish. If I am going to pay that much for top quality fish, i want to taste the fish, not onions or salmon pate. We also think the oysters were off as they smelled funny and we were sick afterwards.

Great service, excellent sushi preparation and quality.

Terrific food. Very authentic japanese sushi

Would recommend the service and omakaze experience if never been. Very attentive waiters and staff. A few spectacular courses but for the price I would expect an all spectacular dinner course. Maybe because we are very familiar with this type of dining food and style that we are more critical of the review. Have had better dishes. Not amazed. Had such big expectations.

My first Omakase experience and it was awesome, will definitely be back soon.

This was by far the best meal we had on our trip. I visited with my husband who eats sushi but is not a connoisseur and my daughter who definitely considers herself one. We had the omikasse . This was truly a dining experience. Each piece was amazing. My husband who we told how dinner would be survived was initially skeptical. He left dinner amazed at how good it was and how much he enjoyed it. We truly were spoiled.
Then only thing I would tell you that we were not told was you can limit how much you want. I could have stopped at 9- 10 rounds and they went 14. This was quite a lot of sushi and a hefty bill. But that said it was truly a dining experience.

The Omakase was good but certainly not the best ever. I’ve paid half the price and gotten more food at a higher quality in San Diego.

Tried this based on good reviews but my experience here was was below average. Decent service but very average food and not really omakase in the traditional sense. One visit here is enough for me.

For sushi lovers...innovative and fresh..we had omakase..highly recommend

Excellent service, food, presentation!!! We love this place!!!

First time here, and we had a great foodie experience!!! If your willing to try anything they give you this is the place to be. All the flavors worked very well together.
