    Hawaiian roll and cucumber salad
    Brooke C.

    I had a great dinner from Kaya Sushi at the fantastic Lower H food park. The Hawaiian roll was fresh, the sauce was well-balanced, and why don't more places put cilantro in sushi? It's a perfect compliment! I'll definitely be back on future trips.

    Hawaiian, kaya rolls.
    Lori C.

    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.
    Michelle M.

    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.

    Hamachi Kama
    Jadyn H.

    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!

    Ahi and yellowfin sushi
    Kayla E.

    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!

Very casual service. We ordered: Mahi Mahi Lemon Caper Sautée: 1/10 The fish just tasted extremely bland not fresh tough and the lemon sauce just made it wet but added in no flavor as well. Rice was mushy tasted overcooked Mac salad was decent but not the traditional Mac salad flavor. Kung Pao Chicken: 2/10 Small pieces of chicken mostly fried so very little chicken this dish had a good amount of flavor because it was sweet. Chicken and shrimp fried rice: 1/10 Rice was so mushy quality and freshness is just not there. Overall this was not our best meal in Maui I had seen the mixed reviews and wanted to give it a try unfortunately I would no eat here again just because it was not just one dish that lacked quality freshness and flavor it was everything I ordered.

We originally had called in for a reservation for 12 and they scheduled us for a 7pm table. We had some of our party not able to join us so I called them back and asked if we were a party of 9, could we be seated sooner? They opened at 5 and we requested to have an earlier dinner appointment. The hostess was quick to accommodate and gave us a 5pm reservation. - I felt that the servers were very attentive our entire meal, always making sure to get any extra plates out of the way and refilling waters often Bad: - it was quite overpriced. I understand that this is a tourist-centered area, but I cannot fathom paying $40+ for pasta... the serving size for most of our food was disappointing to say the least. The Alaskan roll had barely any fish and the rolls were not very big. It was falsely advertised to us by our waiter that a roll could easily feed 6-7 people. Please refer to the pictures below to reference serving size. - the food itself was not up to standard, especially for the outrageous price we paid for it all. The short rib wontons... first of all, I recommend Sansei changes the name of this dish because are a far cry from wontons. They did not taste good and there was barely any filling in them. The Alaskan roll tasted like only rice and cucumber. The cooked salmon was dry and came with a single jumbo shrimp... - our main waiter was rude, he did not seem to have much patience, giving us attitude and tone that did not feel appropriate. Conclusion: Overall, we were disappointed with our experience at Sansei. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, visitor or local, and we will not be coming back.

    We live on the other side of the island and while we have an excellent Japanese restaurant (Takumi…read more- try the omakase) we decided to drive over to experience Nuka as it has so many fantastic reviews, and we really appreciate and enjoy Japanese cuisine. Nuka was exceptional. Authentically Japanese, the restaurant is beautifully yet serenely decorated, the staff are welcoming and well versed in the menu and flavors, and pricing is competitive for island restaurants. In fact when you know the healthy ingredients are the best available, locally grown/caught/raised and cooked to perfection it takes it up a notch. We arrived just as they opened for lunch at 11.30am and luckily managed to be seated straight away. I've read that dinner is much harder to get a table and there is a long wait so arrive accordingly ;) Parking is available in the car park next door beside the gym, free and self parking. So, what did we order?......... Grapefruit lychee spritzer - we chose the mocktail version but you can make it a cocktail too. Sooo citrusy and thirst quenching. Not sweet, zingy. Very refreshing on a hot Maui day Miso - earthy, salty, brothy, umami, steaming hot in a bowl to start off your extravaganza of a meal Shio koji cabbage - finely shredded with sesame and house milled bran and seasoning, like an elegant Japanese coleslaw, I loved it! Nasu Miso eggplant - slightly sweet because of the miso, I liked the taste but it wasn't a texture I'm used to eating, which I found a lot in Japan, eg mochi. But I can't fault the dish because of that, the miso umami was richly broiled and it was a popular dish House Nuka pickles - crunchy, fresh and sprinkled with sesame (daikon radish, carrot and cucumber), a good palate cleanser and a nice texture to complement the eggplant above. Not vinegary, just fresh Saba Nigiri - two pieces of moreish mackerel sushi, melt in the mouth with so much flavor, decent sized nigiri too Shiso Country sushi roll - on the specials list, and it was amazingly special! Ahi, habanero masago, orange masago, shaved shiso leaf, ponzu, so many flavours and textures combined into a party in the mouth, with a slight heat build as you ate it. A favourite Miso Butterfish - OMG it looked so amazing and was another popular dish, for a good reason, it is delicious. Melt in the mouth, flaky, savory cod, a nice sized serving, and the miso sauce is sooo good with the buttery fish Lilikoi ice cream - hubby only had room for one generous creamy scoop served with chocolate wafers and decorated with fresh mint. Perfect end to a delightful meal We both felt that this is definitely one of the best restaurants on island, culturally and gastronomically, pricewise and food presentation, authenticity and awareness of local produce....it all adds up to an outstanding dining experience. We will most definitely be returning even though we have to drive an hour and half to get there! "Gochisousama deshita"
