Great happy hour after 9 p.m. Their salmon dish is popular for a reason. Their sashimi is decent. The only downside is that service can be slow at times.

They were constantly checking in on us to make sure we were doing alright and were taken care of. The food was delicious as well. The space is a bit on the small side; if you're thinking of bringing a party of more than 4, I would recommend calling ahead to see what accommodations can be made.

I might have to try this place again based off of everyone’s great reviews. Our party ordered an assortment of food including sushi rolls and dinner entrees and while the rolls were great I was disappointed with the tempura and teriyaki chicken. The tempura wasn’t hot and inside the shrimp one was just really soft with no bite. As for the teriyaki, was way too sweet. As for the sushi rolls, I really liked the soft shell one as well as the caterpillar roll.

Our family has been coming here for multiple years, and my dad has been coming since he was a baby. One of the best Japanese restaurants in Hawaii. I highly recommend Yanagi to anyone that visits Honolulu. I love coming here and ordering my regular, a kids udon portion with a Shirley temple. I love how whenever I come here my dad has a new story to tell us from the times he was eating here at Yanagi. I absolutely love this place and come here at least once every time we visit. Our family definitely love coming here and eating all the delicious food they have here, we absolutely think you should come here and we hope you will love Yanagi as much as we do.😋😋

Expensive for okay sushi with bad service. For context, I have visited many kinds of sushi and Japanese restaurants across the world. Came here in a large group with a reservation. Some of us arrived a bit early and were forced to take a seat at the table, even though we had rather waited (and said so many times). Once we were seated, the waitress seemed very rude about even filling up our water and taking our order. After a reasonable time, we started getting dishes -- but not all at once. Later, we noticed that about 1/4 of the dishes were missing. I mentioned it to a waiter who said he'd double check. At that point, most of our table had finished their plates while some didn't even receive their food. We told a different waiter who didn't say anything and just walked away. After 5ish minutes, they came back and said they lost the ticket or something. Eventually, after many plates were already cleared, the last dishes showed up. No amends were made. Food wise, it wasn't very fresh. It felt precut and dry. Additionally, their rice was the prepared incorrectly. It broke apart when one tried to pick up nigiri. This made it very difficult to eat the sushi without making a salad accidentally. Aesthetic wise, the place looked like a traditional Japanese restaurant. But without the service to match, it felt wrong.
