Hawaii Mom Blog: Sushi Bay

I’ve heard people rave about Sushi Bay for ages — especially about their generous portions of fish and the fact that it’s always packed. I finally made it out there with the family, and honestly, the buzz is well‑deserved.

Even on a Monday afternoon, we waited about 15 minutes for a table. Not bad at all considering how busy the place stays. Once we were seated, the service was warm and friendly, and the sushi came out surprisingly fast. They take orders the old‑school way — through your server rather than tablets or conveyor belts — but somehow they’re still quicker than Genki Sushi.

And yes, the portions live up to the hype. Thick, fresh slices of fish that feel like a real treat, not the skimpy cuts you sometimes get elsewhere. Prices were another pleasant surprise. Our meal for four came out to around $80, which felt more than fair given how much we ate. I’m pretty sure the same spread would have cost noticeably more at other sushi spots.

If you’ve been curious about Sushi Bay or debating whether it’s worth the wait, I’d say go for it. Great value, great portions, and a genuinely enjoyable family meal. Highly recommend.
