Sushi Ebisuya

The sushi was tasty, although the amount of fish in each was variable and inconsistent; despite that, the rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly which, to me, makes or breaks a roll in terms of enjoyment.

I absolutely love this place, the people are nice, the food is amazing and the prices are fair. I highly recommend going here, I’ve gone to a lot of fish places in the area and this one never upsets my stomach or anything. Pictured below is the Hamachi, California, and Eel rolls.

Super friendly family with delicious sushi. It tasted great and was very fast counter service. Highly recommend! Arigatou gozaimasu.

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.

My meal at Ebisuya was fantastic. The prices were very good for the portions which were served. We arrived at the very beginning of the dinner hour, when there was only one other table seated. We did discover, like other reviewers mentioned - the pace of service is extremely slow. We came prepared for it and were still surprised at how long "long" could be - close to 40 minutes for our relatively small order when the restaurant was empty. I would recommend coming in just a little bit before you expect to be hungry. The fish was extremely fresh and prepared just right - the flavors shone through without much dressing up. #foodie #sushi #letsguide

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.

Beware small servings and absurdly small amount of wasabi (see photo). With 4 rolls and 3 orders of nigiri they gave me 3 of these containers… when I questioned if this is their normal serving size and suggested it would be a problem if I or another customer got home and had 3 bites of food and then ran out of wasabi ruining the whole meal, they looked at my like I was crazy. In any case, a rainbow roll from them is about half to 60% of the size of a normal rainbow roll and with very thinly sliced fish, so net net you’re paying full price for about 20%-30% of the fish and 50%-60% of the rice you would expect elsewhere. The quality and flavor is OK but the serving size and especially the ridiculous amount of wasabi included before they want you to pay more for “extra” are good to be aware of. In the end they gave me some free wasabi which is maybe almost the same amount I would expect from a normal sushi place, but good to be aware of the penny pinching at this place. And if you order you may want to get some “extra” wasabi.

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.

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!

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.
