Short version: Best sushi I’ve ever had. You need a reservation about a month in advance. They are only open 5-9p. You can call a day in advance for to-go, $100 minimum. Do not expect a seat if you walk in without a rez.
Long version: Since this place doesn’t work like a typical restaurant, I’ll explain. They do 2 seatings per night, 6p and 7:30p. There are only 14 seats, so they require a reservation at least a month in advance. If you’re only on Maui a short time, you can call to see if there are any cancellations, or you can order to-go. For carry out, call a day in advance for pickup between 5-5:30p the next day (or another day).
There are only 2 people working (other than chef), so they may not pick up the phone right away. Try again or call later if they don’t answer during business hours.
If you’re not used to Japanese sushi, take a look at the pictures of the menu (on Google) and translate the menu before you go. Or, just order the Chef’s choice nigiri. The menu does change a bit based on availability, so it may be slightly different when you arrive, but you’ll have a better idea of what they have/what you want.
Small app and small fruit plate included with dinner. They have beer, wine, and sake available.
Service was outstanding, food was amazing. Totally worth the month+ wait. We’re already making our next reservation.
We ordered the sashimi combo, yuzu tai, blue fin oh toro, opakapaka, king salmon, unagi, and unagi roll, with a half bottle of sake. That was plenty of food for two at $175 minus tip. (salmon and unagi not pictured)

A brilliant "hole in the wall", completely authentic sushi bar with stunningly fresh fish made by the master Hiro-san from Japan (I know that's redundant, but it's intended for emphasis!). The sushi literally melts in your mouth. I didn't have to chew. The service is brilliant, the sushi to die for, and the ambiance unpretentious and authentic. Call early because they fill up quickly!!! 🤤🤤🤤

Loved this place! I made a reservation a month in advance and it was definitely worth waiting for. The ladies and the chef were very nice and welcoming. Much larger portions than what I had expected. I only regret not ordering more!

All the poor reviews for this place is for entitled people who didn't make a reservation. If you like sushi it's a must stop. The price to fish ratio is insanely good without sacrificing quality. In addition, the people there are so nice and wholesome. Great experience. I would've made multiple reservations if I'd known it would be this great. We made ours on the first of the month a month in advance

I highly recommend making reservations before since they don't really accept walk-ins. Chief choice is great and has a lot of varieties. Rainbow roll is great too. Great omakase in Maui.
We were lucky enough to dine at this place during our vacation in Maui. Extremely high quality food, impeccable service and an adequate price. Absolutely must try!

Wow! Best sushi ? I've ever had, expertly prepared by Hiro San, and the miso soup had such depth of flavor...very memorable experience. Highly recommend!
Here's the deal for takeout (as of Aug '24) - 1. Call the day before right at 5 pm to order for the next day. 2. $100 minimum, even if ordering for one person. 3. Omakase only (chef's choice, sashimi style). 4. They will give you a short pickup window. 5. Wear a mask when picking up food.
One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Best sushi I’ve ever had by far. So fresh and melts in your mouth. The service is amazing too! Don’t skip this, and make sure you get a reservation!

Walked over to get some Sushi. Was excited. Walked in. Was 80% empty, stood and waited 4 mins till someone acknowledged me. Then they said Oh no we only take reservations. Well they weren’t busy. To turn away someone hungry who walked a mile to come to their establishment. Not nice not welcoming and not properly advertised in the website.

Most definitely the best sushi restaurant in Maui. It was some of the best we’ve had around the world. It is run by a Japanese couple and the only seats 11 people. Reservations need to be made well over a month in advance at the first of each month and they fill up with immediately.

Booking a month ahead is 10000% recommended if you’re traveling to Maui for a vacation, and it’s definitely worth it!
