Reviews for Local Boy Sushi in Kaneohe, HI
The Lava Bowl and sweet potato pie are the best, and the fish always tastes fresh and delicious. Quality on some other items,... like the burgers, have gone down since my initial review. Read more
Took a friend here on Friday. Was raving to him how good it was. Ordered the spicy ahi bowl and spicy ahi pack. The fish was... discolored but thought it might be ok because I've never had issues with this place. However, the pieces were hard and not astasteful as before. Low and behold I sustained food poisoning a few hours later. It is Sunday now and I still have a sorestomach.. very disappointed with this one bad experience. Was served rotten fish unfortunately. I find it hard to believe Iwould come back here anytime soon or recommend this place. So bummed. Read more
This place is brilliant. My wife and I visited Waikiki/Honolulu last week, and we ate at several high end sushi restaurants... while we were there. We spent upwards of several hundred dollars per restaurant. None of them were as good as Local BoySushi. The menu here is concise, but everything they make is made very well. A week later I am still day dreaming about theLava Bowl. If I get the chance to return to Oahu, coming back here for sushi is going to be priority for me. Read more
I had the deluxe cheeseburger and I was so shocked with how good it was. The best burger for only 4.25. Yes it is small but so... full of flavor. My husband got the lava roll and it was super good! I also tried the hand roll maki with shrimp tempura for thefirst time and it was surprisingly good. The menu is a bit limited but so tasty. Read more
I have some friends that live on Oahu, and have visited several times. In my opinion, this is the BEST spot for poke on the... island! The lava bowl is bomb! Spicy tuna with sweet unagi sauce - yum! Then the avocado and tempura shrimp were just adelicious added bonus. Props for offering something a little different than most poke places on the island. Definitely a musttry if you're in Kaneohe!

A 3 star review, simply because it's a hole in the wall with limited seating, the menu options are limited, and the sushi was... OKAY. It was okay, nothing g special. Perhaps I expected more since this place was hyped up by a few people and other reviews Icame across prior to my visit. Anyway so I got the LBS combo pack for $18. Comes with: 2 PC ahi nigiri 2 PC salmon nigiri 8 PCCalifornia maki 2 PC smoked salmon 2 PC spicy ahi 2 PC ahi poke I enjoyed the ahi poke the best out of everything in the combopack. But again, there just wasnt anything "special" about it all. That's all I had, and perhaps I would need to try other itemson their menu. But for now, this is all I can review on. Until next time. Oh and I didn't snap any pics of the combo, so sorryfor that, I was starving by the time I got there and gobbled it down before realizing I hadn't snapped any pics of the food,lol! Read more
OMG, you guys, soooooo good! This is my go-to spot for a quick bite to eat. It's a literal hole in the wall - they might work in... the skinniest business you will ever see. (You will know what I mean when you get there.) I ALWAYS go with the LBS Specialwhich is a choice of poke and meats and I usually add in the shrimp tempura for a $1. On top of that, the LBS Special comes witha free drink. They use multi-grain rice which isn't my fave but I don't mind it because I feel like I'm eating healthier. Haha!My favorite choices are: ahi poke, spicy ahi and kalua pig. I used to love their kalbi, but every since they served it bone-in,I've been skipping that choice. I don't want to pay for a little meat on a big bone. Parking is hit or miss. So here's mysuggestions: call in your order ahead of time (even 5 or 10 minutes ahead) and have one person jump out to grab theorder. Local Boy Sushi is a gem in Kaneohe!!! Read more
Great gluten-free options!!!! The cashier was knowledgeable in what ingredients do and do not contain gluten. He was able to... help me create a super yummy gluten-free poke bowl to accommodate my gluten-sensitivity. The poke bowls are BOMB. My husbandlikes the lava bowl (not gluten-free). The cashier will even give you a small container of gluten-free soy sauce per request!???? highly recommend if you want a good poke or sushi hole in the wall with high quality and fresh ingredients Read more
