Sushi restaurants in Hawai'i (The Big Island)

  1. Sushi Rock

    The entire island talks about personal and charming Sushi Rock. Youthful owner-chef Rio Miceli, a Hawi native, has made lasting friends through his traditional and new-wave sushi, such as his generous Rainbow Roll and the Kohala ('ahi poke, fresh papaya and cucumber, rolled in macadamia nuts). The full bar, soups, salads and grilled fish and chicken dishes also aim to please. There's live music on Friday night.

    Chef Daniel Seafood Cafe

    Chef/owner Daniel Thiebaut's Waimea restaurant is an eclectic gourmet destination for seafood lovers. There's a top-notch sushi bar, a fun tapas menu (including favorite appetizers like phyllo-wrapped shrimp), inexpensive pastas and risottos and an extravagant selection of lobster and seafood platters. It's in a rambling, remodeled historic building.

    Ocean Sushi

    Zip atmosphere, rushed service, linoleum floors - but it's still the place for sushi in Hilo. Rolls are inventive - using mac nuts, tropical fruit, poke and more - and priced so you can order a bunch. The Volcano roll wins for best California roll update.

    U Make the Roll

    Hidden on the back side of the center, you'll never find U Make the Roll's sushi stand unless you're searching. The rolls can be loose, but the price is right.
