About to head out to Oahu for the tournament. Haven't spent time in Oahu for awhile. Staying at the Waikiki Marriott. Any great sushi restaurants you'd recommend? Other recommended day activities (besides the standard tour book fare)? Will have a car and would like to keep it as casual as possible. IM if you want. Also, do AT&T cell phones work without roaming charges? Thanks!

Thanks also to those of you who sent IMs. Much appreciated. (And while this post should bump me up to JUNIOR status, I still reserve the right to make sophomoric comments from time to time.) ;D

There's a good sushi restaurant down Kapahulu Ave., but you have to be willing to wait in line because whenever I drive by that place there is always a line waiting outside the door. The name of the place is Genki Sushi.

No offense, but Genki sushi is like fast food sushi ... I'm wondering when Hawaii will finally catch up with California in offering high quality sushi at affordable prices. You'd figure since the islands are literally surrounded by fish, that the prices would be reasonable .. not so ... unless you want subpar sushi.

I had sushi once, but it tasted like raw fish. Blech!
What's in that stuff anyhow?

Todai near the Hilton. |

In my opinion, one of the best sushi places on Oahu is the Pearl City Zippys. The sushi is more expensive than Genki, but the quality is excellent. They give the biggest cuts of fish. 806 Kamehameha Highway

You'd figure since the islands are literally surrounded by fish, that the prices would be reasonable .. not so ... unless you want subpar sushi. People in Hawaii were eating Sushi long before it became trendy in California or anywhere else. Real sushi, not that designer crap that you pay 10 bucks for 4 pieces. We're talking massive Maki sushi rolls you'd get as you go through the serving line at weddings, grad parties, and beach picnics. And cone sushi you used to buy from the little mom-and-pop okazu-ya places (like the one in Ala Moana, is it still there?) or from the manapua truck that used to stop by the school right as school let out. The one that everyone said not to buy manapua from because it was made with cat meat. Haha. Ahh...memories... |
