TORO is a 10-seat sushi counter in the Kalihi-Palama district of Honolulu, set back from the street in a space the restaurant describes as speakeasy-style. The omakase format follows the chef's curation rather than a printed menu, drawing on both local Hawaiian fish and selections sourced from Tokyo's Toyosu Market.
The restaurant falls into the luxury price tier and is classified as hard to book, counter-only. With just ten seats, turnover is limited and reservations are recommended well ahead through Resy, the restaurant's booking platform.
Service runs for lunch and dinner on most days. Hours are 11:30 am to 8:30 pm Tuesday through Friday, and 4:00 pm to 8:30 pm on Saturday; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Note that menu pricing was set to change effective August 18, 2026, according to the restaurant's own site, so current prices should be confirmed directly with TORO before booking.
The address is 1130 N Nimitz Hwy, Suite C-130, Honolulu, and the restaurant can be reached by phone at (808) 583-2492. Given the small seat count and the emphasis on a hidden, intimate setting, diners should expect a tight, counter-facing room centered entirely on the chef's tasting sequence rather than à la carte ordering.
