Sushi Sasabune offers a unique Omakase-style sushi experience. We specialize in using as much local fish as possible, creating a meal that can be found nowhere else in the world! Sasabune is a specialty sushi restaurant, meaning we do not serve tempura, noodles, California rolls etc. All nigiri are served with its own unique sauce and topping, meant to be eaten as is. In the words of head chef and owner Seiji Kumagawa, "Trust me!"
Omakase only, limited seating (party of 6 max), please call (808) 947-3800 for reservations.

Sushi Sasabune Hawaii offers a "trust me" omakase experience with "unique sauces and little accents" on each dish. Known for "excellent fresh ingredients" and "impeccable service," this top-rated sushi spot promises a taste of Japan in Hawaii. While it's "pricey," the quality and creativity make it "worth it."

We have been coming here every time we visit Honolulu. The food is simply fantastic and the service by the sushi masters as well as the rest of the staff is flawless. We look forward to our next visit and another wonderful meal. This is a memorable restaurant and a place you simply must go if you enjoy sushi.

Sushi Sasabune Omakase is THE BEST sushi dining value in America. I was served 25 courses of fresh fish flown in from all over the world. Actually, 1 of the courses was the miso soup served at the end of the meal, which is the chef’s own personal recipe. And shocker, it wasn’t salty like almost all miso soups. To love sushi and to never try the Omakase at Sasabune is a crime. Furthermore, the service is as good as you’ll find at any Michelin Star restaurant! And to all the haters out there…no, I wasn’t paid or asked to write this review. I’m just a guy who LOVES sushi, and knows a steal of a deal when I eat one!
