Looking for authentic sushi? This place is what you're looking for. Seating is limited, but the sushi is top notch, and fresh. Would recommend the deluxe sashimi.

Outstanding experience at this Sushi restaurant! Impressed by the attentive staff, swift service, and delectable dishes like Spicy Dragon Roll, Rainbow Roll, Salmon Hand Roll, and Nigiri. The high-quality fish truly elevated the dining experience.

What a find! We saw the reviews and thought we had to try this place, and I’m so glad we did. Amazing sushi and sashimi, the vibe was not the best (we were the only ones in there) but the chefs and waitress were so great we just talked to them. Absolutely recommend, well worth a visit extremely reasonably priced sushi and on par with the sushi I had in Japan

Tanuki Sushi is one of the few sushi restaurants in Kaneohe. We came here for a dinner date and it while the food was good, the ambiance was awkward and I'm not in a rush to return. They share a lot with a few other businesses, so if you are coming at dinner time, the other businesses have closed and the parking lot is empty. I wonder what the parking lot is like if I tried to go for lunch. They still have COVID mask signs up and even though we were the only customers, they had like a chain barrier up so that people wouldn't just walk in. Kind of like 2-3 years ago when businesses would have to check your COVID vaccine cards or take your temperature before letting you into the restaurant. They have a few small tables and a sushi bar counter, so there is not much space to begin with. However, we were the only customers in the restaurant for the duration of the meal and so I felt like we were on display for the workers to watch. It was private dining, but not in a good way....We ordered a few rolls to share and ate and then left. We kind of rushed out because we felt so awkward. The food wasn't even that memorable in hindsight. The service was decent. Nothing to write home about. Maybe I would be back to get take out sometime, but I'm not in a rush to dine in again. I would rather drive to town to get the same quality sushi without the awkward experience. Also, they give a military discount. Military people make way more money than locals, why give them a discount?

I have to give a short shout-out to one of my favorite sushi spots, Tanuki Sushi. This was my first Thanksgiving home in five years (instead of in Vegas), I contacted my family to get together. Since we're all not big turkey fans, we decided to have an alternative menu. I've ordered sashimi platters from them before, and since it was less than a week til Thanksgiving, I contacted Tanuki to see if they could accommodate me. Mark and Shawn know what kind of fish I like, so I just asked them to put together a sashimi platter and gave them my budget. Since they were closed on Thanksgiving day, we made arrangements for pickup on Wednesday night. The platter was ready on time, and I wrapped it in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge. It was still fresh and perfect the next night for all of us to enjoy. Great selections that included Ootoro, Inada (baby Hamachi), and Uni, along with at least half a dozen other raw and seared items. There was more than enough to go around for the 8 of us, along with the other pot luck items (ham, mashed potatoes, rice, salad, and dessert) we had for dinner. A great Thanksgiving dinner, and we'll probably do the same thing for Christmas.

Fresh and delicious! This is a very small sushi restaurant with just a a few tables and bar, so reservations at a good idea.

This place is truly phenomenal. The service is fantastic and they are very attentive/friendly. They refill your tea regularly and can help you choose the best sushi. They have specials and they are top tier. Some of the best on the island. I will be back. They have limited parking in the front.
This is my first visit to Tanuki Sushi and I was not impressed. This pkace is really small and I dont see them being in business that long. I felt we were alone in a dessert with the sushi chef and a few if his staff. They greeted us when we walked in and the young server who served us was okay. The young server did not bring it. ( I thought it would have been nice if she had a little more hospitality ) She was just doing her job and going through the motions. Her favorite line was when she came at the end of our meal and asked us ' Is there anything else I can get you? By then I was not pleased with this place. I ordered the set and it was not what I expected. The portions were really small.

Hands down the best sushi I've had on the windward side! It comes with a price tag though. This ain't genki.BYOB. Staff is very friendly. Parking is pretty tight in the area, but the restaurant is also very small. Sushi bar and 3? tables. Not good for big groups.But damn. Go here if you want to treat yourself to some really hecking good sushi!
OMGoodness! This place was off the charts amazing! The food was great, it was pretty comfy sitting at the little bar in the front. The food came super fast, it was like first we get this roll then it comes with the next! We honestly loved it, definitely recommend this outstanding place.

Delicious sushi with great, generous cuts of fish! Highly recommend the King Salmon, Scallop, or a few of their specials (ask the server and they will recommend their favorites). Service was incredibly friendly and quick. Small seating area, but provided a nice intimate environment. Great place for a date night! Will be coming back.
