Yohei Sushi KAHALA is the second Honolulu location for the Yohei Sushi name, set in the Waialae-Kahala neighborhood at 4210 Waialae Ave. The restaurant serves an intimate, counter-only omakase alongside à la carte seasonal dishes, with sake pairing offered to accompany the meal.
The kitchen works in the Edomae sushi style, and the room is built around a single sushi counter rather than tables, which keeps the experience focused on the chef's pacing and presentation. Service is described as English friendly, which is worth noting for visitors unfamiliar with Japanese dining customs or terminology.
The restaurant is open daily for both lunch and dinner, with lunch service running 11:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 16:30 to 21:00, seven days a week. This two-service schedule gives guests flexibility to book either a midday or evening seating. The venue is categorized at the luxury price tier, placing it among the higher-cost omakase options in Honolulu, though exact menu pricing should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
For reservations or questions about seating, pricing, or the day's omakase offerings, guests can call (808) 425-4143 or consult the restaurant's website, which also includes a menu page and information about the team behind the counter.
