    Located inside a mall. It's a good place with lots of options, reasonable prices and friendly service.

    Avocado salad with ginger dressing
    Gisele V.

    Lahaina Sushi Ko is the best kept sushi secret on Maui! As a foodie & sushi lover, some of the more highly reviewed sushi spots on Maui just haven't kept their A game, as their reviews have gone up, their food quality has gone way down. So I started searching for better, well in the Lahaina Cannery Mall is a food truck area and here I found sushi nirvana. Lahaina Sushi Ko lost their restaurant in the Lahaina Fire and they are operating out of a food truck. Their sushi is extraordinary. Their avocado salad with mixed greens and ginger dressing is amazing. We ate there for lunch and dinner the first day we discovered them, and when I get back to SoCal I'm going to be dreaming about our sushi experience, it's that good!

    Salmon nigiri

    Grabbed some takeout from their food truck. We ordered the rainbow roll, supreme rainbow roll, and salmon and unagi nigiris. Food was fine but we didn't enjoy the rice that the sushi came with. Portions were really big, and service was great. Prices seem lower than other sushi restaurants/food trucks in the area.

    Decent and tasty, a local favorite! It is rare to find a good sushi bar. Sushi Ki can fulfill your needs with satisfaction

    So. Much. Food. Normally we (my husband and I) order 4 rolls to share. Im not sure if we were both just not as hungry as normal or what - half the rolls came home with us. The volcano roll was especially amazing - presentation and flavor. Service was super quick, very polite and efficient. Location is adorable with less than 6 tables and 4 bar stools. Definitely glad we got here when we did. Open air - technically would qualify as outdoor seating. I'm not sure I would rate this as the BEST sushi I've ever had, but it's definitely top 7 for sure.

    Volcano and rainbow roll. Delicious

    Really good selection of rolls. Rainbow roll, volcano roll. These were just great! Good selection of beer too

    Lahaina Sushu Ko is excellent. We haven't been back in Maui since COVID19 pandemic hit. Our most recent Sushi Ko dinner was in Thanksgiving week 2019. Given our numerous previous experiences we choose to grab a "to go" meal for our group of 4. We ordered our favorites from previous Yelp postings. Bottom line even through this is a petite Cafe tucked off Front Street, it's service, sushi is exceptional. As "Sushi Snobs" from San Francisco we KNOW great Sushi. This was the first day Sushi Ko was opened in 8 months and we expected and accepted some delays. However, as I fetched our car down by the Banyan Tree a few blocks away our teenage son delt with a rude women customer who was yelling and screaming at the servers and staff. After she dropped the $@%@^@ bomb numerous times he told her to "chill lady you are in Maui" he then verbally attacked him and others. Another couple tried to calm the young lady down. Needless to say, my son was very upset and want us to give beyond our 20% tips given our server "Cookie" had taken so much abuse. We did. We eat the Sushi at our place and will always return!

    Feast of Sashimi!

    Sushi-ko is slightly tucked away inside the Laihaina strip and not directly part of the bayside frontage. The space is technically outdoors but well covered and comfortable. There are no reservations you can make from Sushi-ko and seating is relatively limited due to the small space (+ COVID). We were able to grab the last seats on our walk-in ~6:00pm but would have a Plan B if you plan on showing by later in the evening. The fish and sushi itself is very good - fresh and soft. Instead of ordering by the piece, we opted for the Sashimi Platter which also had a great bang-for-the-buck ($30 for 50 pieces). To add some savory warmth and a bit of rice, we opted for two of the Unagi Hand rolls which did not disappoint - the Unagi was richly savory. There are a mix of parking spots (free public, paid private) - at the time there was a $5 and $10 lot adjacent to the restaurant.

    Sashimi deluxe platter - deliciousness!!

    Our 15 year anniversary and we didn't know where to go. We stopped by a different sushi place about 15-20 mins away from here and it was an hour wait. Honestly, we were all so happy it worked out that way. They were such kind people at this place. There was a cool little outdoor seating area they sat us in. It was a nice large table which was perfect cause we ordered quite a bit of food. We ordered edamame, the sashimi deluxe platter, spicy tuna hand roll, salmon hand roll, Cali roll, and a crunch roll (I think a few other things also, but that's I recall, lol. The food came out pretty quick, which was awesome cause we were all really hungry. Food was fresh and tasty. They brought everything out in portions so it doesn't flood the table. We enjoyed every little bit of it. Service was great also! Literally service with a smile. The chefs to the host to the waitresses all were smiling and so happy. I totally recommend this place. They made our anniversary dinner totally 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 got 4-5 rolls and some nigiri and a poke bowl. It was all freshly made, perfectly rolled and came out at the time told to us, about 15 minutes. We ate it in the car- we didn't notice the ants in the table until after we sat down to wait for about 10 minutes. I followed them on instagram and they posted our order. So cool!

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!

If it's drizzling outside, you can bet you'll probably be drizzled on while eating your meal too! But the setting is beautiful, especially if you get a table around sunset--you can watch the sunset right from your seat. There are plenty of food options to choose from, along with lots of drink options. The restaurant sits right next to Old Lahaina Luau, so if you make a dinner reservation around luau time, you can even hear the luau going on next door.

We left disappointed by the unfriendly service, very small portions, and a bill that felt wildly out of proportion to what we received. Our experience The setting is attractive and the renovation is a real improvement. However, the service lacked the warm, welcoming aloha spirit we hoped for, especially at a restaurant that markets itself as a Maui favorite. The pricing was the biggest issue: - $17.50 for an appetizer of only five wings. - $35.50 for a kalbi plate that amounted to roughly 2 1/2 ribs, chopped into seven or eight small pieces. - $19 for a small serving of mochiko chicken bites. - The kids' sliders were just two tiny burgers on Hawaiian sweet rolls. For two entrées, one appetizer, and two non-alcoholic drinks, our total came to more than $110. That is difficult to justify when both the portion sizes and overall service fell short. Bottom line We understand that Maui is expensive and that restaurants face high operating costs. Still, charging premium prices should come with generous portions, consistently good food, and genuinely hospitable service. Aloha Mixed Plate may have a beautiful new space, but at these prices, it feels overhyped and not like a good value. We hope they reconsider the portion sizes and customer experience, because the lack of aloha and the high prices could easily turn visitors away rather than make them want to return.

We were looking around for a nice restaurant to kick off our weekend in Maui since we were celebrating my mom's 70th birthday. I think my biggest issues stem from the service as well as the value. We received everything in a timely manner so we had no complaints there but didn't experience any warmth in service itself. We had a reservation at 7:00 pm which isn't late by most restaurant standards but we realized that this establishment closed at 8:00 pm. Not sure if that contributed to our experience but it was a little disappointing because it felt like our server wasn't really interested in engaging with us. As someone who has worked in food and beverage for many years, I chalked it up to maybe our server was having a bad day. Still, it left unpleasant mark on our experience. Cocktails were okay. Nothing out of the ordinary. My husband mentioned his meatloaf was overly salty. The butterfish was a great portion size but was overshadowed by the tartness the lomi tomato. I couldn't taste much of the miso or sweetness. The rice texture was mushy which made it difficult to eat. A lot of menu items in concept sounded great but the execution didn't hit the mark. I think for the price, I think flavors could have been more balanced. At this point, I can't say I'd recommend this restaurant or consider returning in the future.

About 30 minutes before our reservation, we returned and attempted to order non-alcoholic drinks for our kids while waiting outside.

Even more confusing, we were told the bar area was reserved exclusively for walk-ins. Because we had a reservation, we were not allowed to sit at the bar and have a cocktail while waiting. The whole situation was bizarre and made what should have been a relaxed start to dinner unnecessarily uncomfortable. The food may be good, but the customer experience and inflexible policies left a very poor impression.
