JAY'S SUSHI: Reviews & Ratings

I love that we can get sushi close to home now. It's located on dillingham right next to thangs smoothies, they are right on the corner so it's easy to spot. They have sooo much varieties of sushi to choose from and it ranges from $11-$30. I must say though that the rice is a little on the hard side. I would rather have it like sushi rice but it doesn't taste like it is. My favorite sushi to get is their ahi/ garlic salmon. So so good. The service is really good. They are super nice once you enter and are very patient with you. You may do dine in. They have a lot of seats for you to choose to stay and eat. They also have ac so that's a plus! Haha free parking right outside so don't need to worry.

I'm surprised I haven't left a review on this place yet! As far as "fast and inexpensive" sushi places go, this spot is a convenient favorite! You can dine in if you want, there's plenty of clean tables to relax and enjoy sushi as soon as it's ready. Or they are fast if you want it to go (and it's made fresh to order). I love how they include a generous portion of fresh wasabi, not the inferior wasabi packages that other spots tend to offer. And they give a portion of ginger that's really tasty and fresh tasting (for pickled ginger that is). Most other fast sushi places do not go to this length. The ingredients in the sushi have good rice proportions, and the fish tastes fresh and delicious every time. I especially love their seared garlic salmon! Their specialty rolls are quite large too. I've ordered sushi platters before and it doesn't break the bank which I appreciate. If you want dessert, they've got that too! They have baked goodies like cakes (whole if you need one for a special occasion or by the slice), macarons, cake pops etc. They also offer a wide selection of homemade cookies with unique Hawai'i flavors in packages that make great take home additions or gifts. They don't serve alcohol, but they have a selection of inexpensive drinks and even boba teas. Service is always fast and friendly. There's plenty of parking, you can pick up other things in the same shopping center like fresh fruits/ veggies and other things if you're buying food for a large family and someone wants something other than sushi.

Lots of parking available in this shopping center that shares many other ono places to grind. Upon entry, very clean place. a lady behind the counter asked how many and sat us. Took our drink orders. next we placed our food orders. we ordered 4 sets. my faves out of all of this was the salmon and the spicy ahi Inari. salmon was buttery and ono. the Inari was sweet, balance with the spicy ahi mayo. the price is cheap, quality is good.

Stumbled across this cute little cafe when we were looking for Boba Milk Tea. After a delicious lunch with my friends and we wanted something sweet, dessert. Located in the Kapalama Shopping Center, parking right out front. The place is clean and it was empty when we went there around 3 pm. We all ordered Boba Milk Tea and they had a bakery case with all these pretty desserts in it. We each ordered a different dessert so we could try each one. We ordered the Red Velvet Cake, Mango Mousse Cake and the Japanese Cheesecake. All are Japanese style desserts, which I enjoy as they are light and not real sweet. All were delicious!

Stopped in today to grab a quick lunch. Having been at an all day training, I was looking forward to something tasty. We walked in to a small, clean space with about 6 tables. We were getting take out so we ordered and stepped aside. Our food was ready quickly and my order was tasty.

Whenever I'm in Dillingham this would be my go-to lunch spot! Hands down the best "fast food/convenient" sushi spots. Finally took my husband here for lunch so he could try and he's a very PICKY eater when it comes to sushi and prefers higher end sushi spots. But HE loved this place! From the quality of the food, the customer service, the ambiance and decor, it's truly amazing! A nice spot to have a cute lunch date. It was my first time dining in and they serve the food on plates instead of take out containers for that extra dine in experience. I also tried their black tea drinks and it was delish! My go to order is: Garlic salmon (5/5): the sear of the salmon with the garlic mayo and unagi sauce is just top tier! I don't know any place that sells this & it's seriously my favorite!! Spicy ahi inari (5/5): ahi is fresh with a little hint of spice! Mango black tea with lychee jelly (5/5): perfect balance of sweetness. It pairs nicely with the jelly. Strawberry shortcake (5/5): IF YOU HAVENT TRIED ASIAN STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, you're missing out. I don't live nearby but i would make the drive to eat here! Craving the garlic salmon as im posting this. Highly highly recommend! It won't disappoint!

I recently visited Jay's Sushi, conveniently located next to Thang's to celebrate National Sushi Day. Having been a fan of their sushi years ago when they were on Liliha and I was eager to see if the quality remained the same. I ordered my favorite the garlic ahi and salmon set, and I'm pleased to report that it was just as good as I remembered. The mayo garlic sauce is incredibly flavorful and the sear on top adds a wonderful depth to the taste. It's a delightful combination that really stands out. I also tried the tamago nigiri which were decent. They weren't the highlight of my visit but they were enjoyable nonetheless. There was a bit of a wait to get my order so I would phone order beforehand. Inside is clean and had good amount of seating for dining in. Jay's Sushi remains a great spot for sushi lovers. The quality remained high and the garlic ahi and salmon set is a must try.
