We have heard from many people this is a great restaurant and were able to finally pay a visit. It is small, and so getting here early is key to a short wait time. The service and food was delicious. Between the four of us, we were able to sample several different rolls and shared some of the homemade ice cream for desert. Unique combinations, very fresh and wonderful taste. We’ll be back.

We went for lunch. I was a little sad as I wasn't aware the dynamite is only for the dinner menu. Everything was still good. But it was not outstanding as I was expecting. Maybe it's different at night. I would like to try the night menu to see if I it would change my experience.

Ordered off of their website online on a Sunday night. Super easy to navigate. Was quoted 55 minutes, but the food was ready early upon arrival 10 minutes prior around 6:30 pm. Only a few tables were left inside. Cucumber sunomono - thinly sliced cucumber and seaweed. The vinegar dressing was sweet, just like the description. It was a little too sweet for my liking. Garden salad - loved the sesame vinaigrette, which is really light. Peahi roll - the salmon was really fresh. Ordered a spicy hamachi and got some salmon roll instead. Paid $2 for extra ginger and literally got like 3 slices of ginger. The rolls we ordered didn't come with any at all. Just a tip to check your to go order before you drive off. We totally get it, mistakes happen! :) The quality of the food made up for it!

Excellent sushi; fresh, tasty and well worth taking the time to find this restaurant! The service is outstanding and very friendly wait staff. We will search this out again!

Food here was amazing. Definitely recommend the Haleakala roll and dynamite small plate. Service was great, gave good recommendations. Overall great experience.

We live right down the road from Nuka- but unfortunately we don't go there as often as we would like because they don't take reservations.... And I have anxiety BUT whenever I do decided to get over myself and dine in at Nuka it is the best. The service is excellent. The restaurant is small, (and as I said they don't take reservations) it is worth the wait! And I feel the fact they don't take reservations enables more customers to actually get to dine in. Upon walking in they will take down your number and send you a message when your table is ready. We always have the best time, the most excellent dinner, and the best of memories made when visiting Nuka. The energy is just excellent. The food is perfect- and it's 1000/10 worth it. GO GET NUKA!!!

My wife and I have lunch here every day, Monday through Friday. Need I say more? The freshest ingredients and the best staff imaginable.
Nuka is THE BEST!! Whether dining in or ordering for pickup, they have the freshest sushi and most delicious menu around. Best to get there early, otherwise you could have a long wait... but it's totally worth it!!

My life has improved since experiencing the warmth of hospitality and incredible food at Nuka. My favorite spot on Maui. Already working it out so I can get back there soon.

Was recommended this restaurant by a bar tender in the town close by. We were on our way to the airport and would've never known without the recommendation. I am so happy this was our last meal on the island. Great service, best food and drinks. The rice is unbelievable. I can't wait to come back!

Lunch on Valentine's Day with my boo. Everything we tasted was delicious! And our waitress was very kind and attentive. Miso cream pasta, NUKA Roll, and calamari. And my lemon drop was the perfect treat!
