★★★☆☆ 3.0 Augusto Paulino · Aug 2025

With its bare-bones interior, Kealoha is probably better suited for takeout. The low price is the main draw here but don’t expect exceptional quality fish. As such, the rolls seem better than the sashimi, where you can really assess the fish. The side salad was just iceberg lettuce and a drizzle of dressing.

★★★★★ 5.0 Shirley Z · Aug 2025

Great option for lunch in the area. I picked up a two protein poke bowl for around 18$ (added avocado) and was satisfied with the portion and flavors. They have a full extensive menu as well with special rolls and hot food. Quick friendly service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ali Bakhsh · Oct 2024

In an area crowded with many fantastic sushi restaurants, Kealoha manages to stand out with their extremely low prices. I ordered three different sushi options with miso soup and the entire order was still under $20. The sushi was decent, but for the price it would be unreasonable to expect more.

★★★★★ 5.0 Jessica Wong · Jan 2022

The sushi was so amazing, fresh, and delicious. The prices were also very affordable, but I decided to splurge and get multiple appetizers. The yellowtail jalapeno appetizer was so yummy and it melted in my mouth. The fried oysters were also very good, and they definitely did not skimp on the oyster portion. The salmon was delectable as well.

Average food but good, fast service. Food - average. Not sure if people in this review has had true fresh fish (fresh fish to me is what you get in omakase) but this place uses standard grade sushi fish. Some has a stronger smell and is more mushy (fatty) than others. Portion size is good. The beef don was not bad but most of it was rice. Miso soup was good that came with the Don and dinner entree. Dinner entree with pork katsu was good. Rainbow sushi was average. Not bad but not the best. The tempura appetizer was not good; only the shrimp had flavor but all the vegetables were not seasoned. Would have given 3 stars for food. Service - nice staff. They try to work fast and is attentive. Gave extra star because hostess allow us to dine in with our small dog. Vibe - very small. 3 rows of
