"Not the fanciest of places (a lot of the dining area is used as storage and many smaller tables are unusable)…but the food hit the spot. Great portions (had to take some home) and flavors were spot on. Fast service and friendly staff. I ordered the SpicyPad Ped which is flavored with chili, garlic, onions, bell peppers, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, long beans, and fresh basil. Gotthe summer rolls as well. Slightly disappointed that you had to order the rice separately."

"First time here with my hubs and MIL. We all ordered the special which was scallops and jumbo shrimp with butter white wine sauce. Ambiance Complimentary Bread: Garlic Bread with side Order marinara sauce Jumbo shrimp with scallops pasta with spinach and mushroom. My dish tasted watered down pasta. There was really no taste. I ate all the shrimp and scallops bc it was the only thing you could taste. The pasta had zero taste. Even after I added lemon and 3 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese. I could hardly taste anything. It looked like the scallops were not whole but sliced into 4 pieces. My husband ate all his dish. My MIL ate most of her food. My dish for some reason was missing the taste and very watered down. Although my dish did not have taste, I am hoping to give them another chance by coming back to try another pasta dish in future. I recommend this place."

"We came in on a Wednesday evening and had to wait for a bit for a table to open up, which was fine since we were in no rush. The dining area is a bit small, so probably better to order takeout ahead of time. Service was hospitable, attentive, and checked in on us frequently. Before we even ordered, they started us off with some miso soup. We ordered a four different kinds of rolls and the chirashi bowl. You can't tell from the photo, but there is a bed of rice underneath the lettuce and sashimi pieces in the chirashi bowl. Order came out within 10-15 minutes. All the fish were fresh, and I like how they plated the Red Spider and Dragonfly rolls. Just to address those who take offense to imitation crab meat: Most places do. Aside from spider rolls (which typically use soft shell crab), majority of rolls use imitation crab meat due to cost and availability. It's unrealistic to expect REAL crab meat in all your rolls (which we had in our Red Spider) AND be paying the prices that Sushi Spot charges. The cost of four rolls and a chirashi bowl plus tax and tip ended up being $80, which I thought was perfectly reasonable. Is Sushi Spot the most amazing sushi I've had? No. But for the service, quality, and price, Sushi Spot hits the spot for me, and if I lived in the area, I would gladly make it one of my to-go takeout lunch spots."

"Don 't bother. This place was excellent under the original owner. New owner brought the place and is just coasting off the coattails of the success of the previous owner, if the food is as good as he claims it is, he would give the restaurant a different name. New owner tries to claim people like us, look at all of our 5 star yelp and Google reviews . Meanwhile, you can buy good Google and yelp reviews, the business I work at has gotten emails asking if they would like to purchase reviews. So yes, buying reviews is possible and if you take time to read most of the stellar reviews that were created sometime after 2018 you notice most of them seem fake. It was around 2018 I think when the new owners brought this place, and added mexican food to the hawaiian food. I tried it a few times, just wasn 't very good, I remember the beans being bland. The final straw was when my husband and I both ordered steak quesadillas for takeout. They tasted like someone literally dropped an entire box of salt on them. My husband could not finish his. I ate half of mine, and had to throw the other half away, something I hated to do. The next day I was terribly sick from all the sodium I had ate."

"Sadie's was recommended to us by my sister-in-law, who is Korean and makes some of the best meat jun you'll ever taste. When she told me she loved this place, because it taste like her own, she wasn't lying! We arrived before the afternoon closing and were greeted with friendly smiles from everybody! The service was absolutely impeccable. It's very modest restaurant ambiance wise but very welcoming. I'm going to say that in the 50 years I've lived in Hawaii, where I was first introduced to Korean barbecue, Sadie's made the best kalbi, reminiscent to a place I frequented in Maui called Azteca back in the 80s. It was absolutely tender, marinated to perfection and simply delicious! Their banchan was fresh; both kimchi's were delicious. The cucumber kimchi was my favorite, but everything was very fresh and nicely chilled. We ordered zucchini jun which could have been cooked a bit more but was tasty. We split a plate because we were headed to my husband's family reunion and they were serving Hawaiian Cuisine, which isn't my favorite. Sadie's SATISFIED in every corner of my mouth. We'll be back."
