Koko i-naba sits in the Koko Marina Center, in the building beside BOB's Hawaii Adventure store on Kalanianaʻole Highway. The restaurant opened October 1, 2021, and serves Edomae-style sushi built around seafood sourced through Tokyo's Toyosu Fish Market, flown into the islands for use in its Chef's Omakase menu.
The omakase is offered at both lunch and dinner, a less common setup that lets diners choose a midday seating from 11:00am to 2:00pm or an evening one from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, with last order at 8:00pm. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays. Pricing falls in the affordable tier, making it a lower-cost entry point for sushi omakase compared to higher-priced tasting counters elsewhere on Oahu.
Reservations for the Chef's Omakase require at least one day's advance notice, and booking is handled by phone rather than an online system. Given the lead time requirement, calling ahead of a planned lunch or dinner visit is the reliable way to secure a seat. The Hawaii Kai location places it away from the denser Waikiki and downtown Honolulu restaurant corridors, making it a practical option for diners staying on the east side of Oahu or visiting Hanauma Bay and nearby beaches.
