For sushi plus other Japanese food, I'd recommend Maguro-ya on Waialae. Don't know if you'll have any real reason to be hanging out in Kaimuki as a tourist, though.

Catch of the Sea is a fun sushi place on Oahu. The sushi comes around on little boats. You can order specific things if you like and some of the sushi is cooked.

Genki Sushi is good, too. They have a conveyor belt that the sushi goes around on. You gather up the ones you like as they go by and then you pay for the pile of plates left on your table afterwards. Same with Catch of the Sea.

There are tons of eateries on Oahu, I'm sure you will find one everyone can like.

We'll only be a tourist for a few weeks, then rolling into the grind of living there, so a variety of places to see and eat will be in order Thank you!

And Hotcatz - thanks! That one with the boat sounds like one my friends and I used to have all of our Hail and Farewell dinners at in Okinawa - I can't wait to try it!

Thanks for all the suggestions, the more the better! With 3+ years I'm sure there will be time for a lot of eating out, especially with family and friends visiting

Sensei Sushi was always my favorite! SANSEI Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar - Dinner Nightly 5:30 to 10:00 P.M.
It's located inside the Mariott in Waikiki. My dad, who is super picky and will not touch raw fish, was very happy with the other options available!

And if you haven't tried poke yet, definitely give it a go - you can find it at just about every single market/grocery store/etc. Poke was one of my favorite foods when I lived in Hawaii. I was actually able to find a grocery store here in Syracuse NY that had sushi AND understood what poke was. Of course Hawaii's is always better, but I can still get my fix whenever I want

To tell the truth, where I trade I hear it said "pokee" as much as "po kay", and sometimes halfway between. As in I like poke ahi (pokee ah hee), which is made from 'ahi tuna. Tako poke is made from octopus. Lomi Poke from salmon, often salted salmon. The most common is ahi, often offered in several flavors at supermarkets... such as plain (usually with onions and seaweed) , teriyaki, and sesame. Flavor preferences are like condiment preferences for hot dogs... very personal and all over the place.
