Started our New Year with a delicious meal at Doraku Waikiki. My Daughter is leaving back to college and requested Sushi for our family dinner together. We have not been eating a lot of Sushi lately because we are trying to stay low carb. Good thing about Doraku is they have lots of menu items that are low carb. Heck they even offer several Sushi Rolls without rice. Everything was good here but the star of the dinner was the Hamachi Kama. Probably the best one we have ever eaten. The fish collar was meaty, moist and delicious. If you have not tried Hamachi Kama, order it at Doraku. You will not be disappointed. The Miso Butterfish was good but my Wife thought it was way over sauced. This fish melts in your mouth and is like eating candy. The Asari Clam Sakamushi has a spicy broth that I love. I was literally drinking it and putting on everything, even the Sushi. While the Clams are tiny, the broth makes the dish. We all love the Hamachi Carpaccio but this dish was soaking in Ponzu Sauce. Still good but would prefer less sauce so everything doesn't get soaked. The Emperor Roll with no rice is a great option to stay low carb. You really don't miss the rice and the crab flavor shines through. The Beef Fried Rice is cooked table side and the rice gets a crunchy lightly burned texture that is delicious. My Daughter loves the Tempura Brownie and our entire table devoured it. Lightly battered and fried Brownie served with Vanilla Ice Cream. You cannot go wrong at Doraku. Probably one of our favorite Sushi restaurants in Hawaii. Always leave satisfied, full and happy. What a great way to start the New Year!
