"There are over 20 locations of Roy’s across the U.S., but Roy Yamaguchi’s original location in the residential neighborhood of Hawai‘i Kai is still the most special. The service makes guests feel like family, and the food is always reliable and comforting. Look out for Roy’s classic seared misoyaki butterfish and meatloaf with tempura onion rings."

"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."

Our Top 5: Luxe Sushi Omakase in Honolulu
"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."

"When chef and owner Seiji Kumagawa opened Sushi Sasabune in the ’90s, it was Honolulu’s original sushi omakase restaurant. It fell out of the spotlight when newer omakase temples opened in the city over the past decade, but during the pandemic, it debuted an omakase bento that outshines the competition, especially for the price ($30). Each piece of nigiri is delicately seasoned."

"A monument to the influence of Christian missionaries on the Hawaiian islands, this building complex includes original structures from the early 19th century, when New Englanders settled the island to spread the Gospel and instill the Protestant work ethic in islanders. The buildings – including a frame home, a printing house, and a coral-stone home and storehouse – illustrate early Western life on the islands and the zeal and strenuous efforts of the missionaries. Tours, a gift shop, and a library are also available."
