If you're in Hilo, HI, make sure to visit Ebisuya Sushi. This gem on Kilauea Avenue is drawing rave reviews for its high-quality sushi at remarkably reasonable prices. Customers like Wade Duvall praise the restaurant, noting it's some of the best sushi outside Japan, with their sushi platters—a delightful mix of three rolls and eight nigiri—for just $25, generously serving two patrons.
Though Ebisuya Sushi operates primarily as a grab-and-go establishment—an aspect pointed out by several reviewers—its quality more than compensates for the lack of dine-in options. Evan Sommer and Rugged Spartan echo consistency in their feedback, highlighting the importance of ordering ahead for a seamless experience.
The fresh, simple ingredients make every sushi bite a joy, as Koili Point aptly describes it as their go-to sushi place. Staff members, like those mentioned by Matthew Poth, are friendly and helpful, often recommending unique items such as squid, ensuring there's always something new to try. If you're looking for exquisite sushi that fits your budget, Ebisuya Sushi is certainly a must-visit during your Hilo jaunt—you won't regret it!

Amazing quality sushi at very reasonable prices! This is better than any sushi I've had one the mainland, and is probably as good as you will find outside of Japan. Highly recommend stopping buy. The sushi platters offering 3 rolls and 8 nagiri are only 25 dollars and is enough to feed 2!

Great food and nice staff. I rated the atmosphere low because there is nothing here to enjoy it's a grab and go without a single table. Best to order ahead. With that being said, it's very reasonably priced and high-quality sushi. I have visited this place many times and taken my family as well. Don't miss a chance to eat here.

Great sushi at a great price! Thought it was dine-in, but only to-go. Pro tip is to order online in advance

This is the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The staff was so nice. they recommended me squid to try which i never had before, but it was awesome. Atmosphere is so nice because you get to go out and joy the fresh air. If you are in Hilo, I recommend stopping here.

The prices and portions were AMAZING. I was extremely impressed with the Volcano Tuna Roll with Poke on top. My wife had the dragon roll with cream cheese and the pineapple avocado and cream cheese roll which she highly recommends. I tasted it and the pineapple was a delicate flavor and was not overwhelming. Very tasty place with excellent staff.

I’m from Cleveland Ohio and I have had tons of different sushi. New York, Chicago, and Cleveland where we have some excellent restaurants too. This has been the best sushi experience I’ve had. I did takeout and I have no regrets. I got 70 pieces, two platters and a speciality roll. All of it was fresh and tasted amazing. Thank you for the great service and quality food and making my time here in Hilo even better.

Probably some of the best sushi I've ever had. The lady who took our order over the phone and greeted us at the restaurant was very sweet. We got four rolls and went through them in less than 10 minutes. Enjoyed it so much that we had to go back the next day.
