This list ranks the top 92 sushi spots on the island based on real visitor ratings submitted right here on NateEatsHawaii, so every position is earned by the people actually eating there.
Among the names worth knowing: Pitch Sports Bar in Kakaʻako is one of Nate's hand-picked recommendations — look for the NateEatsHawaii badge on its listing.

Over in Kailua, 22 Kailua is a neighborhood favorite, and the Genki Sushi locations in Aiea and Waipahu keep the conveyor-belt experience going strong across the island.
