    Spectacular and reasonably priced for the quality. Get the panko-crusted ahi and the crab ramen with truffle. Share both so you can try more dishes.

    Panko crusted Ahi is very good, although defeats the healthy aspect of eating sushi. Don't get the Yaki-Maki Sushi or anything with the word Dynamite in it, unless you want food covered in mayonnaise.

    The sushi was worth every penny. The real winner though was the fried vanilla ice cream with the macadamia nut tempura batter.

    Order the Boat Sampler. Exquisite. Now they take reservations so no need to Rush and line up at. Opening time to ensure a seating. Prcing reasonable. Recommend you check this out.

    Most memorable meal in Maui. Food was great and the flavored they put together were perfect. Ill be making reservations here before I arrive in Maui next time so I am sure to eat here again.

    I accidentally stumbled on the Sun/Mon early bird happy hour. They offer a 25% discount for those willing to get in line early. I would still come here any day of the week and pay full price.

    All of the sushi we tried was amazing!! The specials were our favorites: crispy butterfish roll and the spicy tuna roll with spicy crab!

    Recommended by both locals and the concierge. So good that we ended up having dinner here twice. It also has a pretty good selection of Sakes!

    This busy restaurant has several separate dining areas, a sushi bar, and a bar area, but the focus is squarely on excellent food and not the ambience. Read more

    Best sushi I've had. The specials and the ahi special roll, the miso butterfish, the Hawaiian trio...put the soy sauce away.

    Super Red roll is a keeper...ask for jalapeños to put on top. Yellowtail was super! All fish as fresh as I’ve ever had!

    The greatest service I have ever had in my life from the bartender named Trudy. She was polite, prompt, alert, fun, aware, etc. The list goes on. Get her a raise!

    Expect 30-40 min wait if you have no reservation, but a nice dinner spot in the Kapalua area. There's another location in Kihei if you're looking for eats in town.

    Great sushi. Can be hard to get in to even for 5:15 first seating. At closing time we felt rushed.

    Our go-to sushi spot when in Maui - the wait is long to get in, so head over there early or just make reservations!

    This place is ALWAYS busy but if you don't mind sitting up at the sushi bar no wait time, however if you are waiting for a regular table anywhere from 30min-60min. It's worth the wait though.
