Ebisuya Sushi

"Beware small servings and absurdly small amount of wasabi (see photo). With 4 rolls and 3 orders of nigiri they gave me 3 of these containers… when I questioned if this is their normal serving size and suggested it would be a problem if I or another customer got home and had 3 bites of food and then ran out of wasabi ruining the whole meal, they looked at my like I was crazy. In any case, a rainbow roll from them is about half to 60% of the size of a normal rainbow roll and with very thinly sliced fish, so net net you’re paying full price for about 20%-30% of the fish and 50%-60% of the rice you would expect elsewhere. The quality and flavor is OK but the serving size and especially the ridiculous amount of wasabi included before they want you to pay more for “extra” are good to be aware of. In the end they gave me some free wasabi which is maybe almost the same amount I would expect from a normal sushi place, but good to be aware of the penny pinching at this place. And if you order you may want to get some “extra” wasabi."

"Seriously, I don't know how this place is as highly rated as it is. Look at this picture. Small pieces of fish. But that's not really the problem. Even if they were larger, they were mediocre at best. The uni was the best of the three. The salmon and tuna were so-so. And they had no hamachi, so I don't know how that would have been. With all of the other nearby choices, you might be better off choosing one of them. I know next time I will."

"I’m from Cleveland Ohio and I have had tons of different sushi. New York, Chicago, and Cleveland where we have some excellent restaurants too. This has been the best sushi experience I’ve had. I did takeout and I have no regrets. I got 70 pieces, two platters and a speciality roll. All of it was fresh and tasted amazing. Thank you for the great service and quality food and making my time here in Hilo even better."

"Probably some of the best sushi I've ever had. The lady who took our order over the phone and greeted us at the restaurant was very sweet. We got four rolls and went through them in less than 10 minutes. Enjoyed it so much that we had to go back the next day."

"The prices and portions were AMAZING. I was extremely impressed with the Volcano Tuna Roll with Poke on top. My wife had the dragon roll with cream cheese and the pineapple avocado and cream cheese roll which she highly recommends. I tasted it and the pineapple was a delicate flavor and was not overwhelming. Very tasty place with excellent staff."
