Shrimp tempura roll is DA BOMB.COM They were super fast in making it and I love that we live 5 min away. The owner is super nice as well.
I still go to Aloha Sushi all the time. Even after relocating from the Salt Lake area to Nu'uanu 10 years ago! It's so nice to have a place like Aloha Sushi as the only other option is to go to 7-11. The food is 96% always ON fresh and healthy. It's great to live nearby. I don't have to worry about harmful ingredients. I appreciate Aloha Sushi I'd suggest you check it out next time you're in the valley of Hawaiian royalty and King. -Aloha
Great spot I discovered yesterday while I was in town. The prices are really good compared to most sushi places I've been to & the owners greeted me weight away & were very polite. I was able to get a bento and a musubi for $13 and it was pretty good. I'll definitely be coming back in the future & I highly recommend.
I placed a take out order here, and placing it was quick. They didn't ask for card or anything like that. Name wasn't needed also. When I got in, parking was super easy to get. It's a small shared parking lot with Aloha Sushi being at the bottom under the stairs. Cute little place, with the entrance & register being right there. Just one table avail inside & a table right outside, so not a place for dine in. The price was a bit pricey. I paid $6 something for 2 spicy ahi rolls. They only take care for $7 & up. The lady didn't greet or smile, just asked what I order. Had to wait a few mins for my order, so maybe a total time of 10 mins from my call in. Anyway, got the food, & it looked good. It was kind of disappointing because the spicy ahi roll was super plain. Just the ahi & spice. No cucumbers or anything. I was surprised because the price of it was too much for what I received. Ahi you could tell wasn't like fresh, it was prob pre frozen & was diced into cubes. I probably wouldn't have stopped by here if work didn't have me close by for a training. Anyway, it's a 4 stars for me, as I wish the sushi roll was at least a little more pleasant lol.
This is probably my favorite take-out sushi place in this part of town, and I live super close to it. I've lived in the area for over five years now, but didn't know about this spot, nor would I have sought it out, but a friend of mine took out from here for dinner and shared with me. She got the dynamite roll, which is a shrimp tempura roll topped with spicy tuna and a spicy hot sauce. It was stellar! I decided to take out from here prior to a beach day and got the dynamite roll, rainbow roll, spicy tuna, natto, and vegetable hand roll and cucumber maki. I am only knocking down to four stars because I was less impressed with the food this time - the fish just seemed more obviously "previously" frozen (which of course I already knew given the prices), but we all enjoyed our sushi nonetheless. There is a huge menu so I'm looking forward to trying different items and it's nice to know I can get decent take out sushi so quick and close to my house. I'm looking forward to self soothing with sushi when I have a hard day and want yummy food that is quick, convenient, and delicious. What with it being sushi, it will definitely feel like a splurge without breaking the bank!
Support small local businesses! This aloha sushi location offers a large menu with generous portions, fresh tasty sushi, and very reasonable prices! The workers are kind to answer any questions and accept any modifications if needed. My family and I love their rolls- tuna, spam, philly, tamago, and more!! My fave is definitely the dynamite maki, which is a tempura rolled topped with spicy ahi and sweet chili sauce. They don't skimp out on the filling on their hand rolls! Located right next to the 711 on Nuuanu and has its own parking lot and some outdoor seating. Check them out for your sushi cravings!!
Love their maki rolls! Their maki rolls are made with a generous amount of ingredients and taste. I ordered a cali, egg, tuna, and shrimp tempura maki and they were all delicious. The shop is small but very clean. They also have some tables outside for customers. I had no problem with parking in their parking lot at night.
Really love coming to this location because service is always fast and friendly. Parking is always available. Prices are reasonable. Quality and quantity are decent. Please see pics.
I'm going to call it. Aloha sushi has the best handrolls out of all the fast food "grab and go" places. Way better than 7/11 (no doubt!), and Kozo sushi. Most other places' handrolls are skinnier than Aloha sushi, with less ingredients. I ate a California roll at Kozo the day before I ordered the same roll at Aloha so I really feel like I can give them a solid comparison. Kozo's sushi rice was colder, making it seem less fresh. The avocado was non-existent. You might as well order a crab roll there. The sushi roll was thin, and after eating 2 rolls from Kozo, I was still hungry. Aloha sushi's California roll comes correct! It was stuffed so full of crab, avocado and cucumber, the seaweed wrapper busted at the seam! I could really taste all of the ingredients together. The rice was still warm and delicious. The roll was prepared super fast and the lady at the counter was very nice. She even gave me 2 napkins (I guess she could tell I would burst my roll and get sushi all over myself). Location is convenient, on Nuuanu avenue in a quiet little building with plenty of parking. I also saw burgers on the menu!
