Poke by day and secret sushi joint by night. Every bite was unique and delicious in its own way. Lots of care put into the preparation and Chef was very good at explaining every dish. BYOB and bring enough to share, it makes for a wonderful night.

Amazing place. Come at lunch for the poke bowls. Best poke bowl I’ve ever had (regular Ahi bowl on green salad and with the “punch” flavor)

Msged on fbook for the reservation number. Texted and gave two date options. Went with the $100 menu for 2. They responded in a few hrs and confirmed my 2nd date. Brought a 6 pack of Stella's for byob. Been to a few omakase's and this would top them all, esp for the price and byob. Total pieces was 15. More than we expected and were 90% (usually it's 50%). 20% is tip option number 1, but worth it. Will return next visit to the island.

A very rare and solid five stars. Also well deserved. I love sushi but have never loved it like this. Ignorance is bliss, and if you love sushi and want to be satisfied with what you think is good, stay away from this place. But if you want to know what real sushi is on another level, do whatever you can to check out 22 Kialua. Almost life changing. I've never really liked uni, but theirs was delightful. It was also pleasant to look at. Something usually not enjoyed. Every aspect of this place is amazing. Six stars across the board if I could. Each offering was delicious, flavorful and amazing. Each had its own unique care and delivery that shows the masterful art that is delivered with every piece. I will return, but until then, I will not find sushi on this level.

This place is great! Three choices for omakase $100, $150, $200. The best part about this place...? It's small (fits group of 10), personal, and BYOB! Chef is very energetic and interacts with guests all night. The differences between the $150 & $200 omakase are very settle. The assortment of various foods offered was diverse and great (not just a nigiri offering). This is the only omakase on the west side. It's located right next to K's Bento. Parking in the front or across the street. A definite for a private party 10 or less. Recommend the 500 seating, so you can stay and drink without any rush. Reservations are made by text.

Poke bowl for lunch was absolutely delicious! Salmon tossed in the spicy mayo sauce was my favourite but the tuna was also incredibly fresh. Very quaint interior and the food is artfully prepared right in front of you.

Lunch poke bowls only. Beautiful fish, prepared in front of you, with friendly staff and fresh tuna from Japan. They use the same fish from their omakase for their poke bowls at lunch.

Wow. Are you serious about this place? Forget about making decisions. Sit back and let Chef take you on a journey. Do not miss the opportunity to be personally served by a Michelin star Chef. Be sure to make your rsvp. Worth every minute and cent. This is something you’ll remember at the end of your life. I have been twice and counting. BYOB.

Chef Yutaka-san gave us the most memorable anniversary experience filled with laughter, fun, and sharing Sake together! Very intimate and cozy spot. Nice ambiance with decorations around. Hidden gem located in Kailua. We were very lucky since we were the only ones for 5pm seating, so it felt like a private event with just us and the chef. There was even an origami with our name on it when we arrived. Chef's wife made it herself! How thoughtful. Our favorite omakase experience thus far. Everything was absolutely mind-blowing delicious! You must make a reservation! You can DM on Instagram or email for the number reservation. Follow the instructions on their website for exactly how to text them. You will tell them what dates you prefer, how many people in your party, what tier ($100, $150, $200), 5pm or 8pm seating, any allergies.BYOB so bring your choice of beverage. We chose to bring bottles of Sake to share. You will want to bring water too! Metered parking lot. Located in the same lot as Manoa Chocolate and Ganesh Dosa (on the other side though). We put some quarters in and the total time was about 1.5 hour to dine in.I can't recommend this place enough! You will have a great time sharing stories with Chef Yutaka-san.
