Gillian: We are a group of talented visionary artists. We had some difficulty locating the table, but the corner we were sat in was cozy. The sashimi was fresh and service was good. Kalani: great food. Cozy setting. Lisette: Good voibes Kim: bomb food ! very authentic ! Quality service. We almost ran out of space on table. It was like a jigsaw lol but we had a good time Kristle: food good Alex: ‍ excellent Me: a very peaceful place if you like peace and quiet.(no music) sashimi was fresh and delicious. Dining available in little rooms created an intimate setting. Mm yummy yummy.

One of my favorite restaurants in Oahu. They have a very interesting menu, and do so many things well. Open late too.... Love this place.

I love coming to Yanagi Sushi. They are always busy so make reservations ahead of time! We enjoy sitting at the sushi bar because you get to see them make the sushi and order from them. It is always fresh and delicious. The service is always great. I love going there! I also love their miso soup, the quality of the food is always great.

So we had to stop by Yanagi sushi Jean provided awesome service I got the following Misoyaki Salmon, Chicken katsu Tendon

One of my favorite friend's out, date spot to take everyone and anyone! Great value with their 3 choice combination which have a WIDE variety of options ranging from steaks to fish, sushi and sashimi which gives you limitless of amazing choices! Also if you're me, I usually eat 2 of the choices and take the last one home for lunch the next day! The service was amazing, they are usually quite busy but they are so good at taking care of their customers! Constantly checking up on how we are doing, delivering the food in a timely manner. Japanese food is one of my favorite cuisines and I feel there's a slight bias in my writings towards it. If you are a Japanese food lover, this is one of the best stops to visit on the island!

I can't remember the last time I ate here, maybe back in the 80's after clubbing? The place looks the same and hasn't changed much since back in the day. The only difference I saw is they installed some kawaii curtains between some of the tables (maybe from covid). Parking is in-house valet so you only need to tip, there is NO self parking anymore, or maybe we went on a weekend so was busy. Suggest to make reservations, I've tried to go there before without reservations and they will not take you or you have to wait over an hour or more, so make reservations before going. Our buss help was so helpful and nice, our server was all business, not much personality (luck of the draw), but she did what her job was, so it was fine. Forgot how big the menu is and took some time for us to figure out what we were ordering, etc. We ended up ordering Omakase Sushi, this was delish, accept was not familiar with some items on the platter not problem hubby will eat it, The Dynamite it was okay, mixed tempura was okay, didn't like the batter, karaage chicken this was standard nothing special, and grandma had a nabe this looked good. Next time we will ask for some suggestions, don't think we selected the popular or best items on the menu, first time in ages so rusty on ordering from their menu.

We visited Yanagi for lunch for the first time and it was a wonderful experience! Parking is valet only. The front lot gets busy and crammed as a FYI but I was told they sometimes park cars in another area. Upon entering the restaurant was busy as waitstaff walked back and forth and there was plenty of chatter from diners. The walls are filled with photos of visitors - many whom I assume are famous. They were very kind to give us our own room as we had an infant in our party. Didn't get a chance to look at the other dining area but they were decently full around 1pm. We were given each a wet wipe towelette and small sectioned dish of bean sprouts, edamame, and something else I am blanking on. We ordered the teriyaki chicken and chicken katsu combo, nigiri lunch omakase, calamari, toro, california roll, baked roll w/unagi, and marinated fish. This was plenty of food for 4 adults and we left with a to-go box. All of the seafood was fresh, dishes were flavorful, and we were all satisfied with our meal. My husband and I really enjoyed the lunch omakase nigiri! We would happily dine in again.

The sushi was pretty tasty, and it would be wise to get a reservation. However the night I went , they were able to seat me right away. It's a little hole in the wall, and I was surprised so many celebrities have been here. The service was decent, and food was great. I wasn't use to the seaweed they used for the seaweed salad though.

Yanagi sushi is the place locals like to be, especially since most places aren't open late or offer a late night happy hour menu Yanagi is a small unassuming Japanese spot from the outside, but once you walk past the wooden doors you'll see a bustling team of sushi chefs at the counter making rolls, and expansive too sided restaurant of booths with pictures plastered all over the wall of international and local celebrities alike It is popular so parking is sometimes tough to get, but you should able to find something nearby on the street The small sushi platters always hit and are very consistent, I like the spicy ahi, the chicken karaage, and salmon onion even if it has gotten expensive over the years
