Went because of all the great reviews. Family of four, looking for a great dining experience. We are frequent sushi consumers, all around the country. In all honesty, my family and I all agree, this was a very average restaurant experience and entirely consistent with run of the mill hotel food. Yes, the salads and pickled vegetables are authentic and... More

We went for their dinner buffet. We were really impressed by the quality and selection of their food. Every item seems to be well-prepared. Even the green tea tasted great. The service was beyond excellent! I strongly recommend their dinner buffet.

I was craving for some Sushi, that's why we thought of trying the restaurant out. Also, it had a very good review from tripadvisor. The selection of dinner buffet was great. A variety of sushi, tempuras, teriyakis, cold salads and delicious desserts. It's on the pricey side, but for those with "bottomless pit", it's a great place to be:) My... More

I'm almost hesitant to write this review for fear that my favorite Japanese restaurant on Oahu will be discovered, but, in the greater interest of the public good, I will overcome my hesitation. I love Ushio Tei! The food is delicious and fresh! And, the buffet, while maybe not as extensive as other places, has all the dishes that count... More

Wow...The food, service, and ambiance were excellent. It may seem a little pricey at over $40.00 per person but the quality made it worth the price. I will definitely dine there again the next time I visit that vacinity of Hawaii.

We tried theri Japanese buffet, but you can order a la carte as well. There was a huge selectionof sushi and sashimi, as well as a few cooked main dishes, some salads, and some simple desserts. Too many of the sushi rolls had aoili sauce dripped all over them, as does many of the dishes in Hawaii, but otherwise, it... More

The location inside the JW is convenient and easy if you do not want to leave the hotel. The sushi is authentically prepared and enjoyable. It is a small place and if the restaurant is busy and you have children in the crowd it can be quite loud (drawback of the Disney property next door). The service is good and... More
