20 Best Japanese Restaurants near Paia

“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.“

“When of the families, favorite restaurants always good food and great service“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!! 😋“

“The food here was unexpectedly excellent. ALL of it. It’s a food truck in the parking lot of an old gas station, but gave the atmosphere 3-stars because there is shade and the tables and bathroom were clean. Really nice people to. Will absolutely be back.“

“Get here before the lunch rush and you’ll get a seat, no problem. A local recommended this spot & it did not disappoint. Extensive menu and we ordered the Chicken Katsu & Chicken Katsu Curry. Both were delicious & portion size was perfect for us. Excited to come back & try other menu items!“

“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.“

“Teishokus are the Go To! The tempura is other-worldly delicious!“

“Hard to find good decent place to eat in upcountry but Tun’s Kohima restaurant has good food, nice and cozy setting, menu is big, lots of options and friendly staffs!!“

“We have ordered a big bowl of chow main and A chicken katsu plate,both came in a very large sizes,then a rice bowl which came also in a good size,I appreciate it,normally you don’t get that good sizes in a restaurant on Hawai’i.
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!“

“Excellent food great service“

“Great sushi really nice stuff and I love how they even have hotdogs and really good snacks“

“Excellent night place for a later dinner, family friendly staff and atmosphere, good variety of food, group of 3 of us, shared unagi don, tonkatsu ramen and a katsu chicken plate all were good, the unagi was so so, a little to mushy,like it firmer and prefer it really cooked over a fire grill, but overall we enjoyed it!“

“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.“
