Hanalei Dolphin Sushi Lounge

Dinner Nightly: 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm

The newest addition to The Hanalei Dolphin is its world-class Sushi Lounge captained by ‘legendary’ sushi chef Jeff Benson. Chef Benson and crew have created an engaging and complete menu to satisfy any sushi aficionado.

Begin your ‘Dolphin’ Sushi experience with a warm bowl of Miso soup or a crisp and tart Sunomono salad. Continue to appease your sushi appetite with the freshest of Maki (Cut Rolls) like the traditional California, Caterpillar and Spider Rolls, or sample the Chef’s creative faire like U-Megan-Me-Crazy (Sesame seeds, spicy shrimp, tuna, avocado and asparagus), the Stolen Roll (Salmon,

jalapeno, white onion, avocado, cream cheese, spicy mayo, tempura

battered and topped with unagi sauce and macnuts), or maybe the

Flyin' Hawaiian (Tempura battered and chopped spicy softshell crab,

avocado, cucumber, thinly sliced white and green onion wrapped in

soy paper and topped with hamachi and finished with a squeeze of lemon).

If these tempting selections overwhelm your ability to choose, trust in the Chef’s (Omakase) nightly specials. No one comes away disappointed! Compliment the Dolphin sushi experience with a selection from the ample sake menu.
