KURU KURU SUSHI

KURU KURU SUSHI

KAHALA MALL

HONOLULU, HAWAII 

It is rare that I eat sushi twice in one week.  After my daughter saw that I had sushi for lunch, she wanted to have some too.  I had heard that the new Conveyor Belt Sushi restaurant in Kahala Mall was really good by two people recently.  We ended up going there for lunch.  There was a line waiting when we arrived.  They take your name and ask you to wait outside in the mall.  When there is room at the counter someone comes out and calls your name.  The staff is very young and energetic.  We were seated and served ice water and hot tea immediately.  Then it is just a matter of picking off the plates as they slowly come by on the conveyor belt.  Pricing is based on the color of the plate.  We had a few Yellow Plates ($1.45), Green Plates ($2.10), Red Plates ($2.75) and one White Plate ($4.75).  These are good prices for sushi in a mall.  The Ahi Tuna is $2.75 for two pieces.  Pricing aside,  the sushi here to me was just o.k.  I keep thinking about the crab and corn sushi that was overloaded with mayo.  The Lobster Balls were imitation lobster that tasted like sugar.  Could not eat this thing.  The winners of the day were the Ahi Tuna and Udon Noodle soup.  I would go to other conveyor belt places over Kuru Kuru.  Not a bad dining deal though.  $30 for two.

SUSHI SAN

SUSHI SAN

HONOLULU, HAWAII 

Enjoyed some pretty good sushi and the company of Ms. Abbot from KHON Channel 2.

While the sushi was very inexpensive the lunch was high priced as I signed contract for another year of advertising on KHON.  Sushi San is a conveyor belt Sushi Bar similar to Genki Sushi.  The quality of sushi here is higher than most conveyor belt places and the service was excellent.  The conveyor belt system is three levels.  Two with sushi and one lower belt that has cups and tea packets.  The Sushi is good quality and presented well.  Price ranges from $1.50 per plate to $4.80.  Brown Plates are $1.50, Purple Plates are $2.20, Yellow Plates are $2.80, Pink Plates are $3.20, Green Plates are $3.80 and Black Plates are $4.80.  I was quite surprised when we got the bill.  Sushi lunch for two was only $30 plus tip.  Sushi San also serves Mini Donburi World Bowls for $5.80.  They include nice portions of Unagi (Eel), Ahi Poke, Spicy Tuna and Combinations that are served both hot and cold.  They also have some really nice Take Out Bentos for $8.50 to $25.00.  I liked the sushi and employees here and will return next time I am near Kapiolani Boulevard and crave sushi.
