Oahu Hawaiian BBQ Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine

My boyfriend and I love coming here for the sushi lunch special. It is always so fresh!

I love Oahu! So many restaraunts on Bismarck are inconsistent on their quality but Oahu is always on point with presentation, taste and customer service. I have not had one item that was anything but delicious. The prices are reasonable as well. You are doing a great job Oahu!

left hungry, not a good sign. will skip it in the future.

Love this place! When it’s date night we always come here. Nice, clean environment, with friendly attentive staff. Now let’s talk about the Sushi! It is out of this world! Honestly haven’t ever had anything but the sushi but it is GRADE A+++ Sushi, fresh and very tasty. A must try

This place is a real gem, was not expecting this level of experience here. I ordered miso soup, garden salad, red curry with prawns and a spicy tuna roll. Miso and salad were good, pretty typical for a joint like this. Spicy tuna roll was on par as well, it’s a pretty standard item so hard for that to sway to review too far up. Definitely worth getting if you like the spicy tuna though.
Here’s the bombshell: some of the best red curry I’ve had, and I hit up curry pretty often. The flavors were bold and colorful, the spice level (medium) was just where I like it (enough to heat you up but not make you sweat), the sauce was rich (not at all watery), and they gave a solid portion of all ingredients. It was one of those entrees that you savor every bite. I was so happy that I slowly started high-​fiving myself, and the whole restaurant ended up joining in. Then I dunked on Shaq. Then I gave a cop a speeding ticket. Then I won the Tour de France on a big wheel…
… or that’s how I felt, anyways.
Service was great too. The dude was attentive with taking my order. Right when I was about to run out of my drink, homey shows up and replaced my glass without skipping a beat. «Booya!!,» he exclaimed (in my mind, not actually).
I came here for lunch and the bill was much lower than I expected. I found myself giving a huge tip, against my will, because I was still reeling from dat curry. The mortgage can wait, this curry needs funding, yo.
Very pleasant surprise for passing through on my way from SD to Williston. I’ll be hittin’ this place up if I ever come back through, fo sho. Fo. Sho.

Best sushi in Bismarck, hands down! The servers are always attentive, fun, and make great suggestions! And the sushi is even better! LOVE!

I was amazed to have sudhi this good in Bismarck. Always good, always fresh. I ate there 2 times a week.

Yes, I have a guilty pleasure, and it’s Oahu. I know the sushi is mostly rice, but it’s so good. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick. Take out is a cinch. I never get the Hawaiian barbeque, but the rest of the food is great.

Being from Hawaii, I was excited to see that there was a place in ND that served Hawaiian food (this was from 2014). My husband and I drove from Minot excited to try this place out and we were extremely disappointed. I suppose for someone that’s never been to Hawaii or has never had authentic Hawaiian and oriental food then this might be satisfying to them, as for us, I pretty much pushed food around on my plate while my husband forced himself to finish. It was a sad day for us considering we drove so far.

My boyfriend and I decided we were hungry at 9:30 pm and I love thai so we decided to try Oahu since they were the only restaurant in Bismarck we knew that had thai. Lucky for us it was delicious! They served us salad with a delicious ginger sauce and I got Phad Thai, very very good! It was a large size and had lots of flavor. The waiter was super nice even though it was late and we had a fabulous late night date!

Very solidly good food and good service. We were on a road trip and stopped here for dinner based on Unilocal reviews. This is the first time I have Hawaiian food so I am not an expert but our meal was difinitely very flavorful. For Hawaiian food, we ordered the BBQ chicken salad, beef kabob, buffalo chicken empanadas and pineapple fried rice,. They are all very good although I wish the BBQ had a more intense flavor.
As for Japanese we ordered the valentine roll but asked for salmon instead of tuna, which they did substitute for no extra charge. The fish was fresh and creamy and the rice was properly cooked without being over-​handled. All in all a very good meal.

Considering the variety of food on the menu, Oahu seems to do a good job of creating several specialties well. My party got sushi/​sashimi, teriyaki, and Thai and we were all pleased with our meals. They did struggle with some of the mixed drink choices which was a little disappointing because they had a great drink menu but then didn’t seem to be able to produce. The waitress was very pleasant but extremely shy and soft spoken and we had to repeat things several times/​ask ‘what was that?’ to place our drink, dinner, and appetizer order. Also — not a criticism of the restaurant but the layout of the parking lot/​connected strip of stores/​varying restaurant entrances is extremely confusing/​congested and could definitely be improved. Kind of a barrier to going to any of the restaurants connected there…

When I first drove up to Oahu Hawaiian BBQ & Sushi Bar I almost turned around to look for someplace else to eat. The building is a converted Burger King building so first impressions are not the greatest. I relaxed a bit more after I stepped through the door. Nicely decorated with an equally nice staff. Very friendly staff portraits a very welcome feeling. I opted for Sushi but the Hawaiian BBQ looks like something to try. My Sushi and Sashimi was well above what I would expect in North Dakota!

Everything here is always great! They have very interesting Hawaiian options that you won’t find anywhere else in Bismarck. Very friendly staff and good service. Must try the sweet potato fries and chicken kabobs!

I eat a lot of sashimi. Well… let’s just say when I do go out to a restaurant that serves sushi, I almost always order the sashimi dinner.
I have not, repeat NOT had sashimi as good as the sashimi served at Oahu Hawaiian BBQ and Sushi Bar!
I first went on a Sunday. The sashimi dinner presentation is spectacular. It is a work of art. The menu explained the dinner would have 14 pieces of sashimi. It arrived with five different types of sashimi and a total of 18 pieces.
The tuna was the least interesting of the bunch, but still very good. With the right amount of soy and wasabi, the tuna was tasty. The hamachi was juicy and melted in my mouth. The star of the dish, however, was the salmon. I seriously had forgotten how good salmon sashimi can be.
All pieces were sliced perfectly, were the right size and all melted in my mouth. No unnecessary chewing, just a delicious burst of flavor that had me making yummy sounds at my table for one. I didn’t notice anyone staring, thank goodness.
I was in Bismarck four nights. Three of those nights I dined at Oahu Hawaiian BBQ and Sushi Bar. I could not convince myself to eat anything but the sashimi dinner. Each night the sashimi was just as delicious as the night before. Perfect consistency. That’s SO important when it come to raw fish.
The wait staff was so nice. I mean really nice. The ambience is pretty good for a place that was obviously a fast food joint in a prior life.
I think it’s fair to say when I go back to Bismarck, considering I went three times in one week, I will most definitely be back!!!

Fresh sushi oasis. Supposedly everything else is good but I cannot get past filling up with the sushi.
The best special is to go at lunch time.

Ok, yes, it’s not what you would expect in Bismarck, and I’m rating this for what it is, where it is. We were on a cross-​country trip and wanted something fresh and light after a couple days of burgers. The outside of the restaurant looks sketchy, but inside it’s lively, if a bit cramped.
We ordered edamame, green tea, and two of the specialty rolls. They weren’t spectacular (and the whole multi-​Asian cuisine thing is never really a great idea) but they weren’t bad, and if you’re stopping through and staying at one of the hotels clustered nearby, I would recommend this over the endless fast food and chain options in walking distance. Service was really friendly!

I’ve been about three times and it’s always something. This last time, Saturday, the food was better than before but the timing was way off. One appetizer out… then the second… then soup no one ordered or wanted… then a different table’s entrees tried to be presented to us.
My entrée took so long to come out after my family’s meals did that we had to ask for it, and my no-​pineapple fried rice came with pineapple.
Our waiter stopped asking us if we wanted refills somewhere along the way as well.
I’ll give them one more chance to make it or break it.

First time here. Really good service. Love hawaiian food. Atmosphere was very nice, clean and quiet.
I had the Spam Masubi as a appetizer. It was really good and good sized. Taste just like the ones on the island.
Main course I had the Loco Moco. Never had it before. Will definitely try it again. Portion was good for a lunch special.
I would definitely eat here again sometime. I’m in Bismarck for business. So I hope I can make it back before I go.

Went here for dinner mid road trip. Our server was excellent and very attentive. We were able to get immediate seating. We had the buffalo chicken empanadas appetizer, garlic shrimp entrée and a spicy crab crunchy roll. It was all good and edible but nothing to write home about. It seems like everything off the menu comes from Sysco. The plum sake tasted like those flavored antibiotics they give you when you’re a kid and have an ear infection. But the hot sake was good.
If you’re more of a farm to table, cook my food fresh, keep it out of the freezer kind of gal than this probably isn’t for you. But if you like well prepared Sysco products than eat to your hearts content!
