10Best Sushi
Norio's Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar
(Restaurants - Sushi)
1 N Kaniku Dr The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii, Kamuela  96743 • 808-887-7368 • 866-540-4474
Distance: ~0 ft *
        Description: KOHALA COAST. Seduced by the gorgeous Fairmont Orchid resort on the Big Island's northwest shore, diners at Norio's are similarly awed by the bounty of fresh seafood at this eponymous restaurant named in honor of master sushi chef Norio Yamamoto. The menu highlights specialty rolls that incorporate soft-shell crab, fresh scallops, and fatty tuna, and it revels in main courses like misoyaki butterfish and lobster-and-shrimp tempura. Omakase options focus on sushi and sashimi, and sakes are available as accompaniments. For added adventure, catch all the culinary action with a seat at the sushi bar, or enjoy a private dinner in a secluded room with garden views.

CanoeHouse
(Restaurants - Sushi)
68-1400 Mauna Lani Dr Mauna Lani Resort, Kohala Coast  96743 • 808-885-6622 • 808-881-7911
Distance: ~0.55 mi *
        Description: KOHALA COAST. This restaurant's Pacific Rim-influenced menu boasts a wide range of scrumptious seafood options. Enjoy fresh-from-the-sea mahi mahi marinated in miso sake, savor lemon-pepper scallops grilled and served with wild mushrooms, or delight in flavorful nips of nori-wrapped ahi tempura and ginger-scallion tofu. The scene is equally delightful, and the rolling surf just a few yards away juxtaposes nicely with the large, outrigger canoe hanging over the enchanting outdoor dining area.

Kenichi Pacific
(Restaurants - Sushi)
78-6831 Alii Dr Keauhou Shopping Center, Kailua-Kona  96740 • 808-322-6400
Distance: ~26.65 mi *
        Description: KONA COAST. Sushi and fusion cuisine – presented in an elegant, relaxed setting – don't get any better than this. Of course, only the freshest seafood is used, so the sushi is impeccable. Even so, the wide-ranging menu includes such an intriguing array of Japanese-inspired dishes that you may not get around to sushi. Starters include crab cakes, lobster rolls, and broiled black cod. Entrees range from seared ono with mashed yams to roasted duck with orange hoisin sauce and lamb in a macadamia nut crust. The molten flourless chocolate cake is achieving legendary status, so save room for it. Kenichi Pacific is small, making reservations essential.

Teshima Restaurant
(Restaurants - Sushi)
79-7251 Mamalahoa Hwy, Honalo  96750 • 808-322-9140
Distance: ~30.98 mi *
        Description: KONA COAST. Traditional tempura and sashimi are specialties at this friendly joint, tucked away in the Honalo community. A family affair that's been around since the 1920s, Teshima also earns high marks for terrific miso soup and sukiyaki. If you're savvy enough, a teishoku platter (an entree served with fresh vegetable sides, a bowl of rice, miso soup, and house salad) will certainly do the trick. Meanwhile, early risers can stop in and enjoy a traditional Japanese breakfast of soup, rice, and fish before hitting nearby sites and beaches. Dinner reservations are accepted and are suggested for large parties.

Restaurant Kaikodo
(Restaurants - Sushi)
60 Keawe St, Hilo  96720 • 808-961-2558
Distance: ~52.50 mi *
        Description: HILO. Since its opening, Kaikodo has earned rave reviews for its use of fresh ingredients and its flawless decor. Occupying part of a historic building, the restaurant combines Asian and European design elements in an elegant, inspired dining room. The menu, developed by Kaikodo's award-winning chef, is similarly inspired, boasting an East-meets-West approach. Local produce plays an important role in dishes like baked ono with Hawaiian pumpkin puree, mahi mahi with Thai eggplant and sweet chili sauce, and achiote-marinated filet medallions with smoked corn sauce and gratin of new potatoes.

Nori's Saimin & Snacks
(Restaurants - Sushi)
688 Kinoole St, Hilo  96720 • 808-935-9133
Distance: ~52.91 mi *
        Description: HILO. Home to some of the Big Island's more inventive sushi (how does a mustard cabbage roll sound?), this out-of-the-way joint has been a closely guarded secret among locals and savvy travelers for quite a while now. Located across from a bowling alley and little more than a proverbial hole-in-the-wall eatery, Nori's constantly thrills regulars with special furikake scallops wrapped in nori strips, chicken and beef sticks, homemade soups, and, of course, superb fried noodles.
