Authentic delicious Japanese izakaya. We waited roughly 45 minutes but it wasn't too bad since we were not super hungry. Expect to spend $40+ per person. It was so worth it though. We got the tamago, negi hama roll, negi toro roll, karaage with eggplant, miso eggplant, a random fish kama, ankimo, another dried fish snack, and the mentaiko pasta. My friend also got some skewers and said she liked them a lot. I liked everything we got and would love to revisit to try the rest of the menu.

Arrived with a reservation at 18:00 when it opens. Reservations are recommended as the restaurant may be filled with customers lining up when you arrive. The whole store is lively, the customer service is efficient, and the atmosphere alone makes you feel like THE Japan. You can see some of the food being prepared from behind the counter, but it seems like each person is in charge of it, and each dish is beautiful in a good way, probably because the staff are working hard at it. Even when it's crowded, the service is stable. I think you can get an idea of ​​the taste by looking at the photos posted by the reviewers, so I will omit it. When I look at the photos, I tend to forget that this place is Owafu. Not Japan. Very cost-effective and delicious. Thank you for the treat.Reserved a table for the 6:00 PM opening. Given the possibility of the place filling up with customers already in line upon arrival, making a reservation is highly recommended. The entire atmosphere inside exudes energy, and the staff's efficient service gives off that unmistakable Japanese vibe. The kitchen is somewhat visible behind the counter, and each staff member seems dedicated to their assigned tasks, resulting in beautifully presented dishes that reflect their commitment. Despite the bustling crowd, the service remains consistently reliable. I'll refrain from commenting on the taste, as you can gauge that by looking at everyone's posted photos. Looking at those images, it's easy to forget – this is not in Japan; it's in Oahu. Exceptionally cost-effective and delicious! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It’s a simple Izakaya restaurant in Oahu. Always a good sign when Japanese people are eating there.

Best sushi and izakaya in O’ahu! Visiting from NYC, I always discount the positive rating, but Bozu did not disappoint. Authentically Japanese establishment and chefs working at the restaurant. Highly recommend this restaurant for the food, sake, and experience. I will definitely eat here again on my next visit to O’ahu.

I had missed my reservation but I was lucky enough to still get seated. I highly recommend reservations because they do get pretty busy! Food was delicious. One of the best places to get sushi!

Bozu Sushi is located in McCully Shopping Center upstairs. It is quite small so I would recommend making reservations in advance. The quality of the fish was all so fresh and delicious. If I had a bigger appetite I would love to try their dynamite and beef tongue. Overall service and food were great would recommend checking them out!

Found this place based off of frolic hawaii. It's only .3 walk from the doubletree hotel in McCully shopping center. They do take reservations but we forgot they are closed on Mondays for dinner on a Tuesday. So we got here at opening time (5:00) with no problem getting a table for two. It is basically all small plates or izakaya. We ordered the potato salad, lobster tempura, negi toro roll, miso butter fish, chef's special sashimi. Everything was delicious and the presentation was just as spectacular Withi an hour this place is hopping. You can sit at tables or at the sushi bar. We will definitely return next time we're in town.
