Sushi Rock Review

In the funky Without Boundaries gift shop in Hawi, Sushi Rock isn't big on size—its narrow dining room is brightly painted and casually decorated with various Hawaiian and Japanese knickknacks—but discerning locals and akamai (in the know) visitors come here for some of the island's best sushi. The restaurant prides itself on using fresh local ingredients like grass-fed beef tenderloin, goat cheese, macadamia nuts, and mango in their Island-inspired sushi rolls. They also serve up a variety of cooked seafood, chicken, noodle dishes, and salads for lunch and dinner. Everything is plated beautifully and served either at the sushi bar, at one of the handful of indoor tables in the restaurant's small dining room, or on the covered front patio. There's also a full bar.

    Most Interesting Sushi Rolls Ever

    This place has amazingly delicious appetizers and rolls made from very non-traditional ingredients put together in highly inventive ways. This is not the place to go for "traditional" sushi and sashimi - they have it, but you can get that anywhere. They have far more interesting things on offer. Well worth the drive from our hotel. The Shitake Poppers appetizer was possibly the tastiest thing I've ever had at a sushi restaurant.
