AMAZING FOOD and service! Made a reservation is advance (restaurant is small), and pre-ordered the items we wanted. My boyfriend is Japanese and he was very impressed. My favourite items here were the beet/scallop dish, spicy salmon roll, CHAWANMUSHIIII 😍, and lilikoi ice cream. Will definitely be back the next time I’m in Maui!

First time dining and the food was outstanding! Small restaurant with very few tables allows for a relaxed, almost private dining experience unlike the crowded, noisy alternatives found elsewhere.
I was initially reluctant to preorder my menu choices with a requested reservation online, but did so upon being reassured by our friends. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time and were promptly seated. Our first entree of the most delicious, fresh sushi was brought to the table moments later. Obviously, the chef had been preparing it prior to our arrival. We spent nearly 2 hours enjoying the wonderful food and the company of our friends.
I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant if you are willing to make dinner plans in advance.

Definitely a hidden gem for sushi at this literal mom and pop run sushi place they operated for 27+ years! Straight from Japan, just some sushi chef and his wife came to hawaii just looking to capitalize on the lack of Japanese cuisine on Maui! They focused on cool and unusual rolls and offered tempura and udon which apparently doesnt exist on any other resturant in the island (reading lips here ..). While service can be slow with the only waiter handling payments , serving water and also delivering the food can be a challenge. But they wouldn't hire any other people except for help on weekends. And when the food does arrive, its probably one of the better sushis ive ever had! The eel rolls had alot of flavor and texture to them! Plus the breading on the tempura is just right! The server was also really nice to point out other restaurants to support in addition to their restaurant as well which was really nice of them! We'll definitely try the other restaurant they recommend and also want to support because local businesses like these need any shout-outs they can get!

Very delicious. Their fish is very fresh and prepared with a lot of care. We had all ala cart sushi and it was great. As always my favorite was the sweet shrimp. A little sad they don’t prepare head though.
I’ll definitely be back.

Excellent sushi, one of the best in the islands. You'll have to make reservations and order ahead of time though
