Aku Eats Oahu

Fast-Food Sushi

Here we have fish of a lesser quality in general along with larger servings of rice and smaller servings of fish, which is to be expected because prices are much lower. Large platters of futo-maki, inari, and nigiri are popular items ordered a couple of hours or more in advance for parties and gatherings, while temaki hand rolls or small individual sets of sushi are great for take-out.

Da Big Boy’z: Sushi Company, without a doubt; Ninja Sushi for new-wave, fusion-type sushi.

A couple of inexpensive take-out items from Sushi Company on the corner of McCully and Young - hand rolls and a killer spicy ahi donburi.
 
Sushi Company. A Closer Look. 1111 McCully st. in McCully/Moilili. 947-5411. 8:30am-7:30pm daily. Parking outside store. Prices: $. Map. This small store has the best fast-food sushi on the island. The rice and fish are of a good grade for a take-out store, and they offer other mouth-watering items that have become very popular. The spicy ahi don is an addicting, must-try bowl of rice topped with ahi mixed into a very tasty mayo/chili base and sprinkled with finely chopped habanero chili pieces that provide some heat and an eye-catchingly deep, red coloring. You can complement your bowl with a single piece of garlic, katsu, or mochiko chicken, all of which are featured items in their own popular bento boxes. The garlic chicken, especially, is a great-tasting item, with a garlicky, sweetened soy flavor that is absolutely fantastic. They also have hand rolls, sushi sets, platters, and endless combinations available.
