Mitch's Sushi Bar

The sushi is amazingly fresh and the waiters are helpful and knowledgeable. Mitch's is the perfect example of why one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. ...as the location did have me wonder if we were in the correct place and the interior is rustic.  They know what they are doing at Mitch's and they do it well!  A definite place for great sushi!!

Simplicity at its finest. As much as I love innovation when it comes to food, keeping it simple and letting the flavors come out in its purest form is an art it's in own category. Mitch's is the perfect example. Their sashimi/nigiri platters is all about making the fish the star of the show. The quality of their fish is almost unmatched in its flavor, texture, and quality to any other restaurant I've been too. There isn't too much to say about their food since it's very simple but the quality is unparalleled. If you don't really like raw fish, they do provide cooked dishes as well. Some of those to include grilled ahi belly, grilled salmon belly, and grilled scallops. Which I also HIGHLY recommend getting on top of your sashimi/nigiri platter. If you're a sushi lover like me, I highly recommend trying this place out. I recommend you reserving a table as they can get pretty busy and show up early because parking can be pretty bad as they have a tiny parking lot and you'll have to find street parking. More...

Heard from many people that this restaurant has great sushi, and great sushi it did have. We ordered the Father's Day sashimi platter (even though it was not near Father's Day) which came with all our favorites, salmon, ahi, shrimp, scallops, hamachi, and the star of the show, otoro. It normally comes with uni too but we were able to swap it out for more hamachi, which was a good decision because the hamachi was so soft and definitely one of my favorites of the night. The otoro was slightly firm but still had great taste and it wasn't stringy at all. We also had a side of unagi which you can never go wrong having and it was decently big sized. Hand rolls were also good but does come with a lot or rice so it will fill you up. I would highly recommend the hamachi Kama, it was very good. Not too oily and had a lot of fish on it. And lastly we had the chefs 10 piece special. I think it's a pretty good deal for all the nigiri you get. I made reservations on open table which was quick and easy but we went on a Sunday and there were plenty of tables still open. They have a pretty large eating space with several different rooms too. We were able to find parking outside their restaurant but we had to hop the curb to get to it, so if you have a low car I would suggest street parking instead. More...

Currently in Oahu for a babymoon! I figured I'd review some restaurants here and there. When looking for a yummy sushi spot, we had a few criteria: 1) a la carte menu (not just omakase since we were bringing our 2 year old) 2) kid friendly aka high chair available 3) reservations available haha. Based on 1 and 2 alone, ruled out a lot of sushi restaurants for us fortunately. Review time:PARKING: There isn't a lot of parking in front of the actual restaurant; however there was plenty of free street parking, which is where we parked. STAFF: The staff here was awesome!! My son threw up his milk due to the car ride (he gets car sick nowadays) and the staff was super nice about it. They gave me multiple rags to clean it up and all was said and done without an issue. When we ordered our food items, the waiter turned our Misoyaki Salmon into a bento since we requested some rice with it without any issues. The waiter actually gave us AMAZING recommendations too on items he likes and enjoys, definitely items we never would have thought to order!ITEMS ORDERED:Misoyaki Salmon BentoEngawa Sushi (seared) - waiter's recommendation Hamachi SushiHotate SushiKinmedai SushiSake SushiSake Sushi (seared) - waiter's recommendationShima Aji Sushi - waiter's recommendationToro SushiToro Aburi SushiUni Sushi**Note: Sushi = 2 pieces TASTE/QUALITY: I just want to preface for this trip that we are only eating at one sushi place so I can't compare to other restaurants on the island. I will say though that each piece was absolutely amazing!! Each piece had great flavor, perfect amount of rice, and tasted clean/fresh. I feel you could tell that the fish is high quality here. RECOMMEND?: For sure yes! The sushi here was absolutely divine!! Super duper fresh!! I'd go back in a heartbeat! More...

Popped by Mitch's cherry on Valentine's Day 2022, and it did not disappoint!! There was a pre-set menu for a reasonable price that ranged from delicious sashimi to mouth-watering sushi  The staff was also super accommodating and let me modify certain items on the set menu. Already planning our next visit!!

The sushi was good, but not excellent. More expensive than the excellent sushi restaurants I've been to elsewhere. The venue was more underwhelming than I expected, even though I had looked around in street view ahead of visiting, knowing it's in an industrial park. The ambiance was tacky; they had a bunch of printed menus and signs taped to the walls which really brought down the ambiance more. The service was nice, but didn't offer suggestions. And the quality of the ingredients seems to be mid-level, such as the wasabi, soy, rice and other accouchements. 3 Stars, because the food was good, but overall quality, presentation and ambiance didn't match the cost.

We were here because of the fame I got. I'm a fan of president Obama and he dined here. You need to make reservation and its always full. We order chef choice sushi ($35) and all the items were delicious. The fish was fresh and not too much rice. I don't know if it's true but I feel like the wasabi was a fresh wasabi. The restaurant was specious and very clean. You can get some privacy here. Honestly I don't find the sushi very special. However that's how you can expect from sushi unless you do Omakase. I recommend checking it out if you are in Honolulu and can reserve a spot. The restaurant has parking. More...

I was lucky to have a friend who lives in HI and took me here straight from the airport. I would never have thought to eat here, given the promise of picturesque dining near the beach, but local knowledge goes a long way! It's not much to look at from the outside, and frankly it's an unlikely location for a great dining experience. Once you enter though, you see the sushi chefs and are led to the dining room which was cozy and quiet -- a stark contrast from the busy airport down the street. I was sleep deprived and let my friend order for the two us. I loved every item, but I especially loved the bluefin maguro and unagi. We had a lot of food, much of which I forgot to photograph, and the bill was more than reasonable. Next time we eat here I'll get better pictures. More...

02/23/2022 group of 7: celebrated my cousin's birthday and it's BYOB. Located near the airport.  Tucked in in an old commercial business area that you wouldn't have thought this restaurant exist, especially a high end sushi place. Rsvp was at 615pm. Got seated right away. Cousin brought a Sake bottle and a pail of ice was placed to the side to chill. Ambiance was clean, nice and nothing fancy. We ordered a lot of food. Love the platters but of course expensive. Here is what we ordered with the prices: Mitch's assorted bluefin and ora king sake nigiri platter $250, July special platter $200 (on the menu it said $192) , ahi belly x4 $20 each, salmon belly $16, uni with seaweed $30, hamachi Kama $26,Sashimi salad $12, toro (6pcs) $60, and edamame x3 $3 each.  We ordered 3 Sushi rice but forgot how much with that.  If I have to rate the food 7/10. Don't bother to order the edamame not worth it. The deduction of stars was due to waiter giving the wrong menu with the wrong price with one of the items and also we wanted sushi rice and the guy told us he will check if there is enough. It's a sushi place ....lol.. we waited for awhile and we ask the lady that we ordered sushi rice and came back with sushi rice.  The positive side is that the uni was really good. It had a sweet taste and not that ocean taste.  Sasabune is still the top of my list. Check this place out tho...your experience maybe better than ours. Although, with good people and laughs makes it worth it . Sometimes I think in all restaurants if you have a party of 6 or more waiters don't care because gratuity is automatically included. Happy eats yelpers!! More...

My husband loves the Sushi here. It came highly recommended and was told it can be on the pricey side. We were told it's BYOB but due to Covid restrictions we decided to do take out. They have options of platters or you can do individual orders. I did order a variety it wasn't cheap. My husband loved the nigiri. The colors were vibrant and was so fresh. I will say if your sensitive to strong fish smells I do not recommend eating there. The smell is quite overwhelming but freshness and quality can't be beat. When we want our guests to enjoy quality sushi we always order from here. More...

Having fresh fish coupled with masterful preparation, Mitch's Fish Market & Sushi Bar is an exemplar of quality hole-in-the-wall sushi.

Overpriced and dismal portions.  Worse than spending over $120 for poorly prepared seafood for two is spending over $120 and walking away still hungry! service was excellent however as our server was great but the food alone rated zero.  Uni appetizer was so minuscule for $30! Are you kidding me??!?  Frankly I could have done better by going to HMart and getting one of their uni packs in the fish deli.  And the broiled scallops were over cooked and rubbery.  That's a big no no to over cook scallops for supposed fish experts.  Either they're amateurs or fraudsters.  The rest of the sashimi meal was ok, nothing that justified commanding those prices.We ended up looking for a drive-thru that was still open.  Waste of money. Will not make this mistake again. More...

Hole in the wall about a stone's throw away from the airport. Honestly some of the best fish I've ever had. Salmon, snapper, ahi, and uni are excellent. It rivals top sushi spots in Los Angeles and New York. Service is ultra fast and very bare bones, which can be a good thing! Even if you order a platter, you'll likely be chowing down in less than 10 minutes. Parking is easy, as it's an industrial warehouse area which gets quiet at night. Just be careful where you step, the floor is uneven at certain parts of the restaurant. More...

My wife and I moved to Oahu  14 years ago. We were told about Mitch's but for whatever reason we've never eaten there. As Wine Educators for over 40 years in NYC we really take our restaurants very seriously. To be gut honest, Mitch's is in our top three of the best restaurants on the entire Hawaiian Islands and if it was in NYC, Williamsburg Brooklyn or Greenpoint we would be regulars. The question is simply why? The answer is complex. The true Aloha spirit resides throughout Mitch's. From the time you arrive till the time you leave. The entire place is both super laidback and immaculate. It's BYOB and that is awesome. We brought a fine French Burgundy with great minerality and acidity that truly complimented the best sushi we've ever eaten. We honestly thought we had eaten the best prior to Mitch'sdid but We were wrong. The entire bill was under $174. The uni was to die for. We will be going there at least once a week.Chu Toro - Medium Toro More...

This is one of spots I always come back to whenever I visit Hawai'i. I love taking newcomers here since they're always surprised that a place in the oddest location delivers some of the best sushi on this island. The MUST try item is the ama ebi (sweet shrimp). It often sells out, but that's a testament to how fresh and awesome it is. My friends LOVED the toro - best they ever had, some claimed. You really can't go wrong with anything here. The Labor Day platter has all of my favorites: ebi, uni, salmon, yellowtail, scallop, and toro. If you have a large party like I did (11 ppl), you can request to sit in the private room! Super cute, shoes off, traditional Japanese dining room vibes. Oh and BYOB is a major plus. More...
