Reviews Summary

SushiMan Wahiawa is praised for its delicious and affordable sushi, with many highlighting the spicy poke bowl and unagi bento as standouts. The friendly service and cozy atmosphere contribute to a positive dining experience. However, some reviewers mention concerns about fish freshness and changes under new ownership, with a recommendation to order in person for clarity.

"Loved how quick and easy our meal was! And my crunch bowl was soooo ono. The woman who worked there was super pleasant as well. Really happy I stopped by"

"My mom was craving Sushi really bad so me and the Husband bought SushiMan for her for Lunch today. I was told New Ownership took over in January, therefore, I would highly recommend ordering in person than over the phone, especially if your a first time customer. Avoids any miscommunication and you see exactly what you get as well, and, for repeat customers getting used to the New Menu and other changes. My family enjoys the sushi here. It’s convenient and prices are fair. Don’t let the outside fool you like some reviewers commented. Its a decent sushi spot and it got a 7/10 from my family so pretty good! The Hamachi was particularly outstanding to my mom and it was her new favorite. I unfortunately am allergic to seafood so I had the Teri Chicken Donburi which was just right for me. Chicken was cooked well with just the right amount of sweet teri sauce. Im not a huge SPAM fan but i will eat it teriyaki style and sliced thin, however the New SPAM Donburi is Cubed. Prefer the old style. But that’s just me. Probably fine for others that aren’t as picky as I am. Lol. Next time i will try the Chicken Katsu Donburi Bowl and the Vegetable Tempura. Looking forward to it!! 😄"

"Love the spicy poke nigiri so much, I go atleast 1-3x a week to get my fix 😂 Just wish the bacon roll was the same like it use to be. I ordered it 3x when new owners came and the bacon was not crispy. It is a nice and quiet atmosphere a"
