Sushi at Shimaichi Sushi!!
Shimaichi is by far our favorite, we have planned trips to Hawaii for this place. We highly recommend the Kona Kampachi caught daily right up the street, the Thai stick roll and the Volcano roll. Though there are tons of other sushi places the locals also swear by, they are all amazing.
