Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"With 31 locations around the world, Roy's Restaurant (roysrestaurant.com) was first opened in Honolulu by the James Beard Award-winner, Chef Roy Yamaguchi. A publisher of three cookbooks, Yamaguchi has also hosted six seasons of a PBS-TV Hawaiian cooking show in Hawaii. Located on Kalanianaole Highway, Roy's in Honolulu features signature dishes representing his take on Hawaii fusion cuisine, a blending of Pacific Rim cuisine with European sauces and Asian spices."

"Two Oahu locations, multiple locations worldwideRoy Yamaguchi opened his first restaurant in Hawaii Kai in 1988. Today, you can taste his Pacific Rim creations all across mainland America, Japan, and Guam. Besides giving your taste buds things like kiawe-smoked Szechuan baby back ribs and melt-in-your mouth misoyaki butterfish, Yamaguchi is also credited as one of the twelve creators of Hawaiian regional cuisine."

"Head to Hawaii Kai in East Honolulu to the ocean-side Roy's restaurant. It's where owner and chef Roy Yamaguchi opened his first Hawaii Regional cuisine restaurant more than 25 years ago. And now that the internationally known chef has locations across the U.S. the original Roy's is still a fine dining classic."

"Of course, you can’t miss Sansei Restaurant when you are on the lookout for great seafood. They get a lot of attention for their sushi rolls, but on top of that, they are raved about with their seafood dishes. We tried them out one night when we were near the Marriott, as it’s situated just inside that resort."

"Yanagi's been around for decades and is a favorite destination of celebs, so it's frequently crowded, especially at dinner. That's hardly a surprise when you consider its impeccable food and convivial atmosphere. Sushi is outstanding, and the chefs take great pride in their skills."

"Sushi Sho stands out among Honolulu’s slew of high-end omakase sushi spots, and not just for its price point — starting at $300 (though discounted during the pandemic). Sho is known for the creativity of Keiji Nakazawa, one of Japan’s most acclaimed sushi chefs, who left Tokyo to open this 10-seat restaurant in the Ritz Carlton. He combines old Edomae sushi techniques, which highlight flavor nuances through aging fish such as wild yellowtail and moi, with nods to Hawai‘i, as with a bite-size riff on laulau, a traditional Hawaiian dish of pork wrapped in taro leaves."

"Sushi master Keiji Nakazawa is revered for his Edomae sushi, using old-school techniques that extend the life of raw fish—a throwback to the early 19th century when fresh seafood needed to last longer. Here, though, you get some contemporary twists, and he tries to use local ingredients wherever possible to reflect his surroundings and provide exclusive flavors. Salmon smoked in banana leaves."

"Entering Sushi Sho, inside the Ritz Carlton, is like entering a stage set for an audience of 10. Seats flank the dramatic sushi bar, where Keiji Nakazawa and two assistant chefs hold court. A few years ago, Nakazawa, one of Japan’s great sushi masters, left his restaurant in Tokyo for the challenge of Hawaii."

"Hawaii's Japanese heritage gets evident, once again, in this tiny sushi bar. While its location might not be the most inviting, the sushi, sashimi, butterfish and other grilled specialties served here most certainly are."

Early risers can start with a guided visit to the Honolulu Fish Auction."

"Royal Hawaiian Resort is the most iconic place to socialize in Waikiki, 7-10:30am for breakfast and 11:30am-9pm for lunch and dinner. Stop by Mai Tai Bar to sip on the original Trader Vic Mai Tai (created in 1953 at this very bar) and stay for a light spread of finger foods and share platters. This airy beachside property is worth exploring, take photos around the jungle-like grounds, visit the on-site bakery for a slice of banana bread, and buy pink stuff at TRH Inspired gift shop."
