What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Ebisuya Sushi is highly praised for its exceptionally fresh, high-quality sushi offered at incredibly reasonable prices, making it a local favorite. Many customers rave about unique rolls and generous portions. However, some diners note that the service can be very slow, and one reviewer had a particularly negative experience with the chef's attitude and food quality.
"Great food and nice staff. I rated the atmosphere low because there is nothing here to enjoy it's a grab and go without a single table. Best to order ahead. With that being said, it's very reasonably priced and high-quality sushi. I have visited this place many times and taken my family as well. Don't miss a chance to eat here."

"This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The staff was so nice. they recommended me squid to try which i never had before, but it was awesome. Atmosphere is so nice because you get to go out and joy the fresh air. If you are in Hilo, I recommend stopping here."
Matthew Poth
"The prices and portions were AMAZING. I was extremely impressed with the Volcano Tuna Roll with Poke on top. My wife had the dragon roll with cream cheese and the pineapple avocado and cream cheese roll which she highly recommends. I tasted it and the pineapple was a delicate flavor and was not overwhelming. Very tasty place with excellent staff."
