    No one mentioned that to get the happy hour discount, you have to sit at the bar. It's all good, we still got a 10% discount with this application. We liked everything we ordered! Service was quick!

    A good selection of rolls for most sushi lovers with a few unique ones. Try the protein roll for the fish lovers that want to try something new.

    The hamachi (pic) from cold plates sec was delicious, among other rolls and hot plates ordered. Try to grab seats along the open windows to enjoy the Hawaiian breeze

    So delicious, go during happy hour for awesome deals. Try the emperor roll and geisha roll, they are delicious. Also the sweet & hot Edamame is fantastic

    Beef tataki and the lomi lomi roll on the happy hour menu are awesome. 1hr validated parking as well. The emperor roll everyone is raving about is a little rich for my taste.

    We were seated outside in the wonderful Hawaiian night breeze. Firecracker shrimp were tasty followed by White Dragon roll which was even better. Will visit Doraku again!

    1st tip ever but this place is deserving. Family party of 9 & not a single complaint. Top picks: either seabass, emperor & volcano roll, tataki, yellowtail cheek, doraku seafood salad. Strong drinks!

    Wasn't impressed with their special rolls (Emperor and God of Fire) but the traditional sushi was great. Rolls could be rolled better but the ingredients were super fresh and delicious.

    This place is killer! Food is cheap and the happy was the best deal in town. Garlic edamame $3.50, Ahi Poke $5.00 (fking great), tuna tataki (yeah!!), etc, and the drinks! Out server Vuong was great.

    Happy hour is 4pm to 6pm. Pork belly soba and the tempura brownie were great. Emporer roll was disappointing, but worth a try.

    Don't get the Cucumber Eel roll unless you know you like eel, has a very strong flavor. Red dragon roll and California roll are both delicious. I was freezing the whole time I was there. Staff was meh

    Fish was super fresh. Ordered the omakase and some extras. Super delicious. Banana flambé was the best.

    Fish is fresh. Emperor roll is great. Brownie tempura reminds me of fried Oreos, of u have ever had them. It's not as good at the emperor roll.

    Edamame as an appetizer always! Emperor rolls and red dragon are the best ones! Green tea is the perfect match

    Surprised that this is the highest rated sushi restaurant in Waikiki. Really depends what you're looking for. Not authentic Japanese and the sushi rice was pretty bad. Decent sashimi fish quality.

    If you're an Irish whiskey lover, the Jameson ginger has a lemon & ginger root garnish. Absolutely fantastic.

    You MUST order the Emperor Roll. Soooo delish!Come for Happy Hour (M-F 5-7) for great prices on basic rolls and Kirin beer. The tuna tataki is a win for $5!

    Of course you'll roll over their sushi rolls. Bad puns aside, the choices and combinations of their selection of sushi rolls are excitingly different yet accessible.

    Use the foursquare "special offer" if it's still going on! Sushi is decent. You can order a martini with "sake" in it for a little more $, instead of vodka. Don't know why they don't have "saketinis".

    Be careful where you sit at the bar. The humidifier was dripping on us while we ate and the staff had to come twice to wipe it off quickly before it fell. We were dripped on at least once.

    Ultimate roll wasn't quite impressive, but Red Dragon is definitely worth it!
