23 Best Japanese Restaurants near Kahului

“I like this place for its consistency and reasonably priced tasty dishes. There is a sushi bar as well but I haven’t tried it. The two dining areas a spacious and the staff are nice and quick. I’ve come here many times and the quality is consistent.

I do t think it’s open for dinner for some reason and they could decorate a bit more. But you’re here for good food not to pay for fancy atmosphere.“

“Amazing food, good people! Usually get whatever the special is, from Miso Cod to veggie stir fry with choice of beef or pork, the food is consistently amazing 🙏🏽 The prices for their sushi & plate lunches are very affordable! Especially for the serving size, variety & proportions. Teriyaki Ahi plate comes with house made potato Mac salad, fried noodles, picked ginger, a slice of orange, large perfectly grilled teri ahi steak over a bed of rice...for 18$!
Check em out! You will be glad you did. Old Shell station on Dairy Road. Sept 2026🤙🏽“

It Tasted really good and it wasn’t that pricey either.i am thinking of visiting ramen ya more often.“

“Staff great of ono Foods!“

“Delicious satisfying ramen and large spacious restaurant. Seems like a really local spot. They have a great deal where you can get a mini bowl of ramen and two sides for just around $20 if you want to try a few things. It all tasted great and the prices were really reasonable! Lots of parking outside.“

“The food was delicious! Prepared swiftly and hot! And the owners are very kind! The Crispy Mahi Plate comes with 4 pieces - only 3 are shown in this picture because I ate the 1st before deciding to leave a review. When I look for places to eat, I often turn to google reviews and pictures to help me pick. At the time, this truck has a 3.7 star rating and they deserve a higher rating! Hope this helps push them into the 4’s. If you’re looking for a good fish or sushi food truck, you’ll be pleased with Sushi Kochi!“

“This was the 1st time we tried this place since the new owner took over.
We had the BBQ combo, tempura upon, saimin and the garlic shrimp.
Would have given 5 stars but the shrimp was small and needed to be shelled.
The bbq plate was the best! The upon was very tasty as was the saimin.
Overall great experience and will come back.“

“Food was amazing! We don't have a Genki Sushi in South Texas, so we really took advantage of being able to eat it. We ate here 3 times within the week while on vacation. The wait wasn't too long for a group of 8, and the other days that we ate with just the younger kids (a group of 4), there was no wait at all.“

“The cream puffs are action! So good!!“

“Absolutely worth the stop! The orange truck is parked in the empty lot next to the old Home Maid Bakery in Wailuku. Japanese husband-and-wife team serving up top-quality, delicious grinds. It’s now a weekly stop for us! Favorites are the Keyakiya chicken, Katsu, shrimp tempura & veggies, and beef udon. Everything we’ve tried has been outstanding! Slight wait for freshly cooked meals but sooo worth it!! ⭐ Highly recommend!!! 😋“

“This is our favorite food in Maui.
Totally authentic, totally delicious.
The katsu is their specialty, but don't sleep on other options - Korean chicken, tempura, and all the sides are great too.
A must for a taste of local Japanese cuisine.
We sat on the small bench near the counter, keep in mind there's really nowhere to sit, so plan to eat in your car or back at your accommodations.“

“Get the dry noodles and the yakitori chicken plate! Everything was super delicious & filling and split between friends we each spent < $15. Homemade noodle texture is amazing and served with hot mustard and chili water on the side- very very good. Chicken had a great glaze and charred skin.“

“I've been eating sushi for many years and is the best I've ever found. It is so fresh and beyond excellent. The service is great and the chef will make whatever special requests you want. The Hamachi sashimi is amazing and the soft shell hand roll is perfect. My family and I come here again and again. Don't miss it!“

“Food so delicious everyone friendly ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Location is outdoor under a large tree. It had rained just before we arrived, so we had drops hitting us for a short while. It was humid at the beginning, but a small breeze later came in and kept us cooler. Food was excellent, quality and price. It is a BYOB restaurant, which is perfect for us. The only thing bugging us was that the server kept asking us if we were ready for our check, when we still wanted to order moer food. There is a 90 minute limit, but this started happening about 45 minutes into our stay.“

“My first time there with my bestie . I let her order
because she has been there many times. I was not disappointed at all the little plates of different fermented veggies and kimchi . Then when they brought out what she ordered was truly eye candy. When I tried the volcano first and the explosion of flavors was not expected . Then on to the T N T another new experience never had sushi that was deep fryer AMAZING. On to our last plate it was baked scallops also amazing. After eating all of this . They brought us a Malasada which was a surprise to me and also very delicious. Thank you all for my first experience at Mikos was truly something I will never forget and will be back for sure. I do recommend mikos to everyone.“
