Sitting on the floor, in a romantically lit space, with so many yummy things to taste! Really great sushi, fresh, creative and tasty!

The sushi is great. The service is just always really slow unfortunately. Other than that we love it and come here all the time.

Banzai Sushi in Haleiwa is a popular spot with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, including traditional floor seating. While some found the service lacking, the fresh and tasty sushi options received positive reviews. Prices were considered reasonable overall, with some rolls being more expensive than others. Despite minor complaints, many enjoyed their experience and would consider returning to this casual yet upscale sushi joint.

Food was okThough I am a vegetarian, and veggie food doesn't always get as much thought$22 for 1 roll and 5 tempura veggies seems pretty steep tho.

Great food, service and atmosphere. If you're looking for a great sushi place on Oahu, it's not in Honolulu. You won't regret it.
