Maguro-ya 3565 Waialae Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96816

"This is the place where the locals go so you know this place is great! If you go during prime time it will be busy. The trick would be to get seated right before then."

"Just great food….thats what Maguro-ya is. The tamago was fluffy like a pillow and probably the best we’ve had and we have eaten a lot of tamago. The chef special nigiri for $45 and 12 pieces was delicious. Every piece was flavourful and nothing had a fishy taste, including the mackerel. The tempura was meaty and crunchy, yet didn’t feel heavy. Left feeling very satisfied!"

"10/10!! Amazing sushi spot off the beaten path but well situated no matter where you are coming from. The place was busy but the staff made sure we were sat quickly (without a reservation) and talked us through the menu which had an option for everyone. The nigiri was some of the best I’ve ever had. Will shift plans to come back tomorrow!"

"One of the best sushi restaurants ever! We got the chef sushi assortment, and every piece tasted amazing. Also, make sure to get tonkatsu! It was so tender and moist inside but crispy outside. Friendly staffs with great customer service. Overall atmosphere felt very welcoming and clean. Would definitely be back!!"

"Nice little restaurant, food is tasty, with good menu selection. All the wait staff were wonderful, except for the older lady serving us. I don't think she deliberately was trying to frustrate us, but wrong food orders, unbrought drinks, combining 2 different orders to one plate, and then serving it without saying anything (that person ate both and when other asked for their's, she said it was on the others plate). Celebrating a birthday and we brought a cake, she total us it was $1.50 per person to eat, which we told her that was fine. She never gave us plates to place our cake servings on or a knife to cut, Just charged us 1.50 each.(party of 8). With a $400 + bill, you would expect more attention. Because of this only 4 stars."
