Best Japanese Restaurants in Makawao

My husband and I were celebrating our honeymoon. We had an incredible time. Most of it was due to our server Adam giving us a great experience. He brought us champagne to celebrate and walked us through the menu. The food was incredible. We had the fish carpaccio and pork gyoza to start. We got the soft shelf crab roll and spicy tuna roll. The surf and turf roll was well worth the money and loved the table side presentation. Finished up the mains with the sea bass. For dessert we had the mousse Mauna and the ube cheesecake, which came out with a happy honeymoon inscription in chocolate. Every food runner was delightful, happy and had a great description of the food they were bringing out. A truly wonderful evening. Cannot wait to go back. Thank you again Adam!

Most amazing sushi I have ever had. It was so fresh and really well made. Everything I want in a sushi restaurant!

Had lunch here, and it was a great experience! The food was fresh and bursting with flavors. Our server was friendly, attentive, and gave us great recommendations. This is definitely a place we’ll be returning to. Highly recommended.

This was our party of five adults and one infant’s second visit to Sansei Kapalua during our one week vacation on Maui. The food was delicious as usual, including the Lobster and shrimp mashed potatoes, lobster and crab ravioli, the beautifully prepared pork chop, and numerous sushi rolls, including the Sansei special, Spicy tuna, and super red dragon rolls. The shrimp dynamite is our favorite appetizer. We had incredibly wonderful service for Megan as she was so easy-going, attentive, friendly, and helpful. She helped make this a special night for all of us. Thank you for a wonderful dinner and evening.

Creative well-prepared cocktails, excellent food which indicates great competence in the kitchen. Menu covers some very savory ground with lots of cuisine options from sushi to fish & chips with a great pub burger and more, most likely something for everyone. Will go again anytime we’re in central Kihei. Thumbs-up.
