Sushi and ambiance was excellent. Been coming here for the past 10 years and seems like the food quality just keeps getting better!

Minimalist Japanese fine dining tucked into Maui’s North Shore—small, stylish, and sublime.

Got parasites at this place ! Only had their tuna 😏 which is exactly why they should freeze the fish for 24 hours before serving, tuna is the only fish they serve fresh but I wouldn't eat it.. also pesticides in their vegetables! They lie it's not organic because after eating there I was tested by my holistic doc and she said yes, I picked up pesticides.. I know it's from that place because I eat organic! Treat your fish and stop making people sick! 😠

Food was ok, nothing special and a bit overpriced. The quality was good just not a lot of flavor.

I was never a raw fish fan, but Nuka blew me away with the quality, service, and just overall good time.

Excellent sushi dinner date. There was one unruly party sitting right behind us... once they left, the tension disappeared and we enjoyed our dinner in peace :) be prepared to wait at busy times. We had an hour wait at 8 pm.

When we arrived, our server greeted us and asked if we’d like to start with drinks. We ordered two. Shortly after, the manager came by to check our IDs. We provided them, and both of us are well over the legal age. However, only one drink was brought out. After waiting at least ten minutes, we had to flag down our server to ask about the second drink. She then told us that one of the IDs was not valid—which was not the case.

There was no follow-up or apology from the manager, which felt very dismissive. When both drinks finally arrived, they tasted like they might not have been alcoholic, so we had to ask and clarify. The server barely checked in with us during the meal, and we didn’t feel well cared for—despite being the only guests in the restaurant at the time.

We love supporting local businesses, but this experience was honestly disappointing.

Nuka in Haiku offers a cozy, stylish setting with a menu that leans into Japanese classics. While the sushi and rolls were just okay — fresh but not particularly memorable — the meat skewers really stood out. Perfectly grilled and full of flavor, they were a great surprise and easily one of the best parts of the meal.

The real highlight, though, was the miso cod - buttery, tender, and deeply satisfying. It alone is worth coming for. Service was solid and the space has a nice ambiance, making it a good choice if you’re in the area and looking for a relaxed dinner with some standout bites.

I literally flew a few thousand miles to eat here again!

Bradley.. great to see you again and you always blow it out of the water!

Food & service at the sushi bar were outstanding.. if you have ever been here before you know that this is an experience in itself.
