    Food wise, it was more of a 3 1/2 star but willing to make sure their customer is satisfied bumps it to a 4. I was most excited to try the Maui roll but felt that it was too salty for my taste even without any additional soy sauce. On the flipside, the hamachi roll was lacking any flavor including the rice that I ended up dipping the hamachi roll into the Maui roll sauce. The rainbow roll however was the star as the fish was fresh and perfectly balanced in flavor. There was a slight issue with the salmon nigiri where it tasted a little off and there was something blue on it. When we brought it to their attention, they made us a new one which was as good as the rainbow roll.

    Hawaiian, kaya rolls.

    Really good sushi! Came here last year and again this year, and will be back a 2nd time before I leave. Got the kaya roll and Hawaiian. Next I try Maui roll. Nice size portions. Thank you!!

    Picked up a Maui roll here for dinner one night recently and was so impressed. It's a large portion and so fresh! I love that it still came with ginger and wasabi, despite the food truck set-up. They had a few rolls I found appealing and I'd love to come back to try more! Our order came out quickly and the staff helping us was really nice.

    Located in a really cute area with over 10 other food trucks. Picnic benches throughout. Great quality fish and all the prices weren't crazy priced. The sashimi was fantastic!

    Rainbow roll. It was good but we liked others better.

    I just found my favorite sushi place!!! I had no idea that a food truck in Maui would be so good! There was no line and we wondered if it wasn't any good, but it was also a slower night at the food trucks. We ordered the Rainbow roll, the Ka'anapali, the Volcano roll and the Kaya roll. The Rainbow was good. The fish was fresh and we liked it. The Ka'anapali roll was absolutely delicious!! The sauce and flavors were so, so good. The Volcano roll was super delicious as well. There was tons of crab and sauce on the top and I had a hard time even finding the pieces because it was piled so high. My husband's favorite was the Kaya roll. The poke on the top was such a great addition. Overall we kept dying over the flavors and exclaiming that we wanted to bring our girls here. When we come back to Maui we will definitely be back!!!

    Rainbow roll and spider roll

    I was craving sushi and pleasantly surprised to find the option available in a food truck. It was closed to closing and they were busy. They are at the left end of the food truck lot. I ordered the rainbow roll and spider roll (soft shelled crab). Lots of imitation crab, avocado and cucumber for the California roll base for the rainbow roll. It had ahi, salmon, and hamachi I believe. Order came with soy sauce, pickled ginger, and a good sized dollop of wasabi. Filling, good quality ingredients, and satisfied my craving. I'm glad I went when I did, a few orders after mine they ran out of rice. There was quite a queue of orders before me so it took 23 minutes to get my food. She did quote 20 minutes. My colleagues when to the Thai food truck and got their food much faster and I felt bad they were waiting for me. I even ordered before they did. There are picnic tables there for you to eat. We chose to go back to our hotel.

    Sushi super fresh and well made! You can taste the ocean in the fish and the rice is slightly seasoned without being overpowering or nasty. All ingredients taste great. Portions are also quite generous. The rainbow roll was the highlight- tons of high quality fish, accentuated and not covered by the seasoned rice and seaweed. Crab salad in the middle of the roll was refreshingly light. I loved it. Spicy tuna roll was great too but tuna was a bit salty. I liked the overall flavor profile and presentation. Hamachi Kama was perfectly cooked and seasoned, imo could have done without the drizzle of sauce over it because the fish was flavorful enough. (It is fried and not grilled like Kama traditionally is fyi) The people working the truck are super nice too and they always look like they're having a lot of fun. Food is always ready in a flash. Lovely spot! Check them out!

    You have to wait a while they're very busy, but the food is amazing Customer service is excellent. You have to be patient.

    The food truck is located right by our hotel so coming here was convenient, but we were pleasantly surprised at how good our food truck sushi was!! Not going to lie, we were a little hesitant at first, but our food came out fresh and melted in our mouths. So good! We got our food quickly and the ladies in the truck were very kind and answered all of my husband's questions. The truck is located in a little food truck park where there are a bunch of places to go! There are picnic tables and the cutest string lights perfect for a picnic setting. We have gone back multiple times during our stay because we have enjoyed it so much!

    The food was very disappointing as we expected so much better based on the reviews. We ordered three different rolls including hamachi and 2 salmon rolls. The rice was badly cooked and too wet. The fish was okay and sauce was underwhelming. The portions of the rolls was the same as what you get at a grocery store. The ambiance was what you expect from a food truck food court. The tables were little dirty as no one was tending to them. The service was nice and the person taking our order was friendly.

The wait for the food was 25mins. Worth the wait! My bf ordered the shredded pork moco to share. The fried rice had spam it in! Made it more futility. My son got the short stack (2) ube pancakes with ube sauce with coconut shreds on top. He loved his breakfast. Nothing tops ube pancakes! I got the waffles with macadamia sauce. It got a bit soggy after awhile with the sauce on top I think next time I'll get it on the side so I can enjoy the waffle being crispy and not soggy. We loved all the plates we ordered.

Then there were the devastating Lahaina fires in 2023, so we thought they were lost to us forever. We were happy to hear they opened a food truck and decided to visit when we were in Maui last month (March 2026). They're back, baby, with the delicious food we remembered pre-covid. The truck is located on Keawe Street, next to the plaza with Ross & Foodland and the glass blowing shop. There's limited seating and the line got long quickly, just like when they had the storefront restaurant. Definitely worth the wait, though. We ordered the 808 Grindz bene, corned beef hash & eggs and a short stack of mac nut pancakes (with sauce oh yes please) to share. The crispy hash browns were a little too salty, but everything else was on point. I believe they take cash or venmo only and be prepared to wait. But it'll be worth it.

We decided to hit the road and find it. Lucky we did! It was open, there was no line. It had a great assortment of rolls and a good number of options for nigiri.

We stopped by on a Monday night around 7:30 pm after doing the road to Hana. They had some Whitney Houston and Shakira bumpin, some cute garden lights, and three outdoor picnic tables for diners. We ordered and had to fill up on gas, so we picked up some drinks from the nearby gas station and got back to wait for the food. The server said it would take about 15 minutes, and I think that was pretty accurate. We ended up ordering the following: Salmon Nigiri - 3/5 this was a little bit more salty than I normally expect of my nigiri. Spicy California Roll - 5/5 tasted like a fresh California roll with some spicy mayo on it. It wasn't very spicy though? Mild enough for the non-spice lovers. Tempura Roll - 5/5 this was probably my favorite roll. It was simple yet delicious. You can't ever go wrong with unagi sauce. Smash Roll - 4/5 the smash roll was really good. It had a good, well-rounded taste with the tuna and salmon. This was my husband's favorite roll. If you're feeling like you need some good Asian-American sushi, check out Smash Maui! It's going to hit!
