Morio's Sushi Bistro

Food was great and well done by a master of his craft, yet service could have been better. We were in the downstairs private room, and felt rushed and very minimal explanation on the dishes. I haven't been there to eat at the sushi counter, however I imagine that would be a much better experience to interact with the chef. For the price, and being in the private room, my opinion is service needs to step up a bit.

I can't recall how I heard about this hidden gem, but so glad I did. Definitely a meal highlight from our recent vacation. My husband did an omakase experience (which I certainly would recommend if you don't have any restrictions with seafood) while I ordered off the regular menu. The food was plentiful and prices reasonable. I can't recall all of the types of fish he tried but one bite was better than the next. Sushi was also fresh and delicious. This place is BYOB which is AMAZING! We had an array of beverages and they were kind enough to ice everything down and provide appropriate glassware. If you're lucky maybe you can sample some of their sake stash too... Staff is incredibly welcoming and fun to boot. Tip:MAKE A RESERVATION! EARLY! This place is tiny with extremely personal service.

Morio’s Sushi Bistro was one of the best omakase sets I have ever tried. The different variety dishes presented were all amazing and interesting. The fried fish, and the miso fish had a very distinctive flavor and so flavorful. There were many different types of sushi and they were all delicious. As someone who is not a fan of raw mackerel, I found Morio’s mackerel to have a very fresh and non-fishy smell and flavor. My favorite thing that Morio served us was the otoro. To top out all off, Morio was extremely kind and gave us complimentary otoro sashimi and extra dessert. Great customer service and I’m really glad I went.

I used to go to Morio's waaay back when he had a little place in Kuhio...it's been a long time since and I was a bit nervous hoping qualities's not changing...Yes!!! It was all delicious and Morio-san was great! Once you're inside and sit down then the staff will treat you great too but this particular guy came out when the restaurant open was not friendly nor welcoming at all...(He could be shy though...) But Morio-san is still great at what he's doing. I don't drink any alcohols but my friend was(her first time) super happy about BYOB and sharing "Kanpai" with Morio-san. It's hard to make a reservation but it's all worth it!!!
