Nuka

"We arrived here with 45 minutes before closing time for a weekday lunch. We ordered 3 rolls (Nuka, Peahi and a hosomaki of avocado). Nuka was unique and great with its ponzu sauce. The other two were good. Atmosphere: The restaurant is situated in between the post office and a shopping plaza as if in the middle of parking lots. The decoration felt Japanese-y and low-key. Food: Low value for money. Service was quick and friendly."

"So I asked around with locals and this name kept coming up. Worth the drive and totally worth every cent! Sit at the counter and watch how fast the chefs are, fastest I've seen in all of the sushi places I've been too. Sushi is fresh and delicious. No reservations taken and this place is busy, seemingly from.open to close."

"Nuka is one of the best restaurants on island and some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. The chefs are world-class, and everything is fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. The line starts as soon as they open, so get there early and be prepared to wait (but it’s so worth it!) My favorite pairing is the Haiku roll with the lilikoi lemon drop, and the black sesame ice cream"

"There is a reason a line forms as soon as it’s open! We got here at 4:35, and luckily got the 2nd to last open table before the line started forming. All the fish is fresh, and tastes super clean. The food came out hot and flavorful as well, and the overall service and experience is wonderful too! We got the truffle edamame, chicken karaage, hurricane fries, sashimi platter, and Hawaiian Superman - all of which id recommend. Definitely come early when they open and give it a try!"

"Everyone said Nuka was THE place to get sushi on Maui, and it didn’t disappoint! We were warned that there may be a long wait, so getting there right at opening time is your best bet. We arrived early, to a few parties also waiting for the doors to open. There is a decent sized sushi bar and maybe 20 tables inside… pretty cozy. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was amazing. Some of the freshest sushi I’ve ever had. Everything we ordered was presented beautifully and tasted great! Will definitely return!"
