Restaurant Insider with Anne Lee

AL: Tell me more about your new location at JABSOM?
SKA: Our King Street location was too big for what we were doing, which was focusing on takeout. Our good friend was already here at this location and let us know that the adjacent space was available. We opened in November. We are easy to find, you can park on the Diamond Head side of the building or metered parking on Ilalo Street.
AL: What bestselling items are we featuring?
SKA: We are doing our Grilled Ahi Steak ($17) bento, made from fresh ahi sautéed with grated ginger, onions, ponzu sauce and rice.
The Salmon Katsu Bento ($11) is our No. 1 seller. It has a generous portion of crispy salmon katsu over rice with homemade tar- tar sauce. It includes two appetizers, which change daily. Add on miso soup, as well as

your choice of California roll, spicy tuna and inari
cone sushi for $5. Our handmade Gyoza ($5 vegeta- ble; $6 pork) is filled with mom’s special recipe. Our Kakaa- ko Platter ($84) has a mix of nigiri and rolls. All the platters that we have on the menu were created during the pandemic and continue to be popular. Fi- nally, the Chirashi Deluxe Bowl ($24) has about seven different types of fresh fish (these change
based on availability) over sushi rice.
AL: What else is good on the menu?
SKA: We are focusing more on sushi plat- ters and bento-style bowls, which are easier for our customers to grab and go. Every- thing is made to order and brought in fresh, so it’s still the same quality. Much of it is a la carte so you can add on a soup and sushi to a bento.
AL: Will there be vegetarian options?
TH:We will be starting vegan curry and expand- ing into noodles like udon and soba and vegetari- andashi/stockaswell.Nabeissomethingelsewe will be working on, as well as more take home kits.
AL: What would you like our readers to know?
SK: Because our fish is fresh we tend to sell out, so we encourage people to order early, and use our online ordering system at sushikinghi.com. It texts you a link to let you know it’s ready, when you’re outside we have curbside pickup.
For larger orders, we request 48 hour advance notice. For Super Bowl platters we will offer more
