7 Best Japanese Restaurants in Lahaina

“Stopped in right at opening on Friday, got the teriyaki steak and Korean BBQ. Both meals were cooked to order and fantastic. My steak was cooked to order perfectly. I also ordered an egg roll which was very tasty! The restaurant has bar seating and tables outside as well. I haven't been in several years and am so happy they are still here serving great food. It's affordable, filling and good!“

“A nice variety of food on the menu plus it was excellent! Our waitress Yukako (Taco) was upbeat, knowledgeable and made our visit even more fun!“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant on the island. We ordered the panko crusted ahi as an appetizer and it was perfect. We had various rolls and our service was great. The only thing I was surprised by was that my red wine was chilled, which was ok, but would have been better at a cool or room temp v fridge cold. Not a big deal. I hope this restaurant continues to thrive because its really so great. Recommend reservations but usually for a small group they can squeeze ppl in on not so busy nights.“

“Wowza!! The food was sooo good. We did the tasting with sake pairing and loved just about every bite. It's a very seafood heavy menu with the Crown Jewels being the nigiri - so fresh and sliced right in front of us. This was a 5 star experience from the chef and his wife who seem to still be somewhat in startup mode. My suggestions: printed menu of the courses (we didn't full hear/understand the chef); tell us what you're serving with each round (he did this in the beginning but then we had to ask). Despite those suggestions, best meal experience we've had on Maui - and we've been coming for 15+ years. Mahalo!“

“Out of the way WONDERFUL restaurant in Maui. On a lark while out driving seeing the sights, we stopped at China Boat for lunch. What a jewel - authentic, flavorful, Chinese food served fresh and hot! The hot and sour soup was delicious as was the Shrimp Mixed Vegetables and the Chicken Fried Rice. Our appetizers Vegetable Egg Rolls were also delicious and served piping hot. The dishes were served family style with simple dishware - perfect for lunch at their outdoor covered patio seating area The owner was so friendly, accommodating, lovely and personable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this restaurant!“

“Fresh & exelent service we are visitors from palm Sprigs 😋🍣🥢🌈 love it“

“The food and experience was very good and we were very lucky to get a last minute reservation. Although the chef knew of my husband‘s food allergy and cooked someone else's scallops on a different grill away from his food, the chef used the same utensil on all of the food. When someone has a food allergy, cross contamination is a very real thing!“
