Reviews for Izakaya Uosan in Honolulu, HI
The signature dishes are good but the common sushi items don't stand out. Worth a try!! But don't expect to be blow away.
One of the best Authentic Japanese restaurants in Hawaii! I really love the grilled unagi (excellent with wasabi!), beef tongue... and Hamachi Collar. They don?t put sauce and marinate the Grilled fish so it tasted really fresh, and not fishy at all. Alsolove the crab croquette (forgot to take the photo Read more
I originally went for truffle uni butter rice. After trying, 21 dollars is a little expensive???? cuz for me it was just an egg... bibimbap without sesame oil. probably only for me(my poor taste But the cream fried crab is really delicious!! The first bite isamazing! Really highly recommended To be honest, if I only tried truffle uni rice, I would probably write a bad comment, but Ifell in love with the cream fried crab ball... Read more
Excellent food. As someone who travels between Hawaii and Japan almost every month, I can say that this place is the real deal.... Definitely one of my favorite places in Hawaii. Read more
Must come for the grilled unagi fresh from Korea! Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable on the menu items. Everything... was decently priced for the quality you?re getting. Read more
My night with Uosan was something to remember. Chef nobu and his entourage served us with utmost attention and detail. Ranging... from different crustaceans to omakase sashimi to sushi piece by piece (I didn?t take pictures for the fish. Was too hungry!) The quality of the fishes were impeccable, it was all flown in daily from Japan! The crab was live from Japan too. It was HUGEfor 78$. The sushi was firm and tasted of years off experience. It doesn?t fall apart nor was the cuts of fish too big. Therewere such a vast amount of sake that the waiters were kindly explaining to me about sakes that were off list. I settled upon abasic kubota manju after I was paired with an amazing 08 don peri! Their service reminded me of when I spent a getaway at thefour seasons in Maldives, DIVINE. I can?t commend them more than that. Well done. I?ve spent monies at other sushi restaurantand I felt that the service and the food in uosan was on par with a fine dining restaurant like sushi sho whilst on the otherhand, the cost of the dinner was comparable to an izakaya (which means great price!). ***** It saddens me that there are somany one star reviews lately. Maybe they are just fake reviews. Chef nobu definitely does not deserve a one star for uosan. Thatis saying chef is serving conveyor sushi restaurant quality food, which I object. Additional to that, service was topnotch.***** I hope this review helps future foodies! Read more
Fish?Crab and Uni are pretty fresh. My fav dish is the?roasted white Unagi?, it?s a MUST try!! The Zuwai Kano (snow crab from... Japan?tastes good but pricey. The most popular dish- Uni Egg Rice: a little bit greasy and should be save for the last. Read more
Sushi is so good! Service is great too! We go maybe once a year, but the servers always remember us!
