A co-worker and I were talking about our favorite Sushi places today and they recommended M Sushi. I have been meaning to try it and have heard good things from a few people. I could see how the location and vibe would seem a little "sketchy" to some. It's definitely not a pretentious LA style joint. But I personally prefer quality and experience over status and esthetics. There's lots of parking right out front. We walked in around 6:30 with no reservations. We were greeted and told we could sit anywhere. It is BYOB. There is a liquor store across the street and a gas station not too far away that you can stop at. We ordered a few things and it all came out quickly and was so good!!!! I don't know how I've never been here before and I was really glad we got to check it out. We'll definitely be back. Oyster shooters - 8/10 Hamachi Sashimi- 10/10 (very nice cuts, respect to the sushi chef) Hamachi Kama- 9/10 Negi Hama- 10/10 Marilyn Mon Roll 9/10 Miso Butterfish Nigiri 7/10 (I'm generally not a huge of butterfish, it was the bf's choice) Scallop Nigiri: 8/10
This is our go-to sushi place. The M is for Martin, the owner; a young and experienced sushi chef. His fish is always, always fresh and his creations are delicious. It's not easily seen from the road so once you find it move it to the top of your list..
Another M Sushi review because it's just so close to home! One of the only reasons I occasionally try other sushi spots is because M Sushi doesn't offer dinner plates, I really wish they had options like baked dynamite or unadon. But if you're simply craving sushi? This place is a solid go-to. Seriously fresh, affordable, and hits the spot every time!
Still love m sushi and glad it is open until 9pm. Miso soup perfectly flavored and we enjoyed the cilantro roll, rainbow, Caterpillar rolls as well as Spicy hamachi, spicy tuna and Salmon avocado Always will return
My husband and I decided to have dinner at M Sushi before attending a show at the MACC. Upon arrival, we noticed only two other parties dining, so we were seated promptly. The sushi was reasonably priced, of good quality, and the service was quick. The interior was a bit dark for my taste, but it didn't bother us much. We ordered the hamachi carpaccio, which we absolutely loved; it was well-balanced, and the jalapeños added a nice touch. I also tried the ankimo, which wasn't what I expected and would not order again, and their omakase. My husband wished they served alcohol or beer, but other than that, we had no complaints. If you're looking for a quick and pretty good spot for sushi in Wailuku, I would recommend it.
Got takeout. Have been wanting to try this little local spot for forever now! I wasn't wow'd by the sushi at all but it was still good! I would return when craving sushi again and not wanting to go far.
After searching for a good sushi restaurant on Maui, we discovered M Sushi. The variety of traditional sashimi, maki and nigiri are similar to other sushi restaurants, but they also have some unique rolls - some that don't have rice! The place is run by Chef Martin and his mom, who keep everyone happy with their efficient service. Food quality is good and fresh as you should expect from a place that specializes in sushi. No noodles or deep fried items are served here. The location was a bit hard to find, but well worth the effort! E would go there again.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars. Was a bit disappointed after eating here as it has such a high rating. I called ahead to try to get reservation but was told that they didn't take reservation. Luckily, we were able to get a table without any wait as walk-in. This is truly a hole in the wall located in a basement right next to the parking garage. The interior was dark and a bit dated. As there was only one waitress and one sushi chef, everything took a long time and required a lot of patience and waiting. As for the food, everything was ok but nothing to write home about. There's plenty of sushi restaurants on-par, if not better in the Bay Area. Thus, if you are a tourist with precious meal quotas, I'd recommend skipping this restaurant. Out of all the meals we had in Maui, this was our least favorite. Nothing was bad but very average.
Highly recommend this place on Maui! So impressed at the sushi here! We were at home hungry but didn't want anything too heavy for dinner (since Thanksgiving just passed). Looked on Yelp and saw that they were open and decided to check it out on a whim. We called just in case it was super busy at around 8pm. She said there were seats, so we left the house right away! It wasn't too crowded at this time (8pm) on a Saturday, which we were grateful for. Parking is right outside of the restaurant in the "garage". Got seated right away. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share. Marilyn Mon Roll special roll (cute name I know!), seared tuna garlic roll, hamachi Kama, and omakase sushi. All of which were super good. The fish was fresh. The uni was probably the best uni I've ever tried! Yum! Not fishy. I definitely need to go back and try more things off the menu when I am hungry. :)
First time at M Sushi and wow... I am speechless. This hidden gem is tucked away in Wailuku on Lower Main Street. The restaurant is clean and the ambiance is very welcoming and cozy. My friend and I chose to sit at the sushi bar, but let me tell you... the counter space for this sushi bar was HUGE (pictured below). So much space! It was amazing. We had front row seats to watch our sushi being made and we had extra space for a comfortable eating situation. We ordered the sushi omakase and it came with 12 pieces for $50. $50 for omakase?! That is unheard of and M SUSHI delivered that. Usually omakase can range from $150-$300. The omakase was comprised of 12 different pieces of sushi and all were so flavorful, soft, fresh, and it truly melts in your mouth. Not only was the food amazing, but the service was even better. The chef and waitress were so welcoming and accommodating. Highly recommend M Sushi for your sushi needs! Especially Omakase
Amazing food, ambience, and experience! Every single dish we had was flavorful and presented well. We had the oyster shooters, otoro, butterfish, dragon and salmon rolls, hamachi with jalepeno slices, a non rice fresh fish burrito that was great with the accompany sauce. Also note it is byob which is great as well.

Great sushi / service Recommend coming early it did take a little long but it was so worth it ! BYOB ! Such a great price read more
I've been patronizing this place for nearly a decade. It is always been consistent. It is a two person operation. Martin is our sushi. Chef and his mom is the server. He picks fantastic fish both from local sources in the markets Martin's friendly but reserved. The restaurant is primarily a local place, but adventurous tourist get to have a good experience in a darken, relaxed atmosphere. I recommend his specialty roles in Omakase. read more

It was amazing. Sushi was fresh, and butter soft. Recommend any of the bellies, all of the pieces were pretty thick. Very lowkey place, owners are nice, and they place some nice jazz! Casual place, went in shorts and a t-shirt, also BYOB! read more

Love coming here for a quick tasty sushi at a reasonable price! It's literally a hole in the wall. Everything is great. My Go to is the Cucumber special roll, baked salmon roll and the aloha roll. But don't get me wrong, EVERYTHING is great on the menu, especially the oyster shooters. read more

I will always love this place! It's near my house, it's cheaper and the rice to fish ratio is perfect! The chef and server always welcome us with happy faces. The inside is a little dark though and it can be too loud. read more
Terrible! Service is so slow. Cleanliness 0 and prices are crazy. Had reservations for 715. Got seated right away but no one came to take our order for 15 minutes. Then we noticed there was only the chef and one server. She came to check our vax cards then left. Took another 15 minutes for her to actually take our order. When she finally came back one of our friends ordered edamame. The server came back with and an empty bowl. She looked at the bowl and freaked out. There was something growing in the bowl! It looked like a dirty bowl with spider eggs or something growing in it. Disgusting! She told the server, she apologized, rinsed it and brought it right back. And it was still all wet! My sushi roll was ok. Honestly my appetite left when I saw that gross bowl. And the crazy thing was they didn't even remove the edamame from the bill! We'll never come here again. If they leave things growing in bowls how clean can this restaurant really be? read more
Excellent down to earth sushi place. With island local fish like big eye tuna as well as good selection from Japan flown in. Omikase chef plate for $45 is a good deal and their nigiri covers the rice from one end to the other. No short changing there! Flavors are delish fresh and just great! In a dark industrial dodgy strip mall as such it's a little adventurous. Take the chance and get rewarded with this hidden gem! read more

The food was amazing probably one of the best garlic salmon rolls I've have thus far. The service is amazing as well very attentive and accommodating as well. The otoro was really fresh and the ama ebi was soo sweet and delicious. The prices were great as well. One person from our group is allergic to shellfish and they were able to modify the rolls to substitute the California filling for spicy ahi instead. Overall will definitely be back when visiting Maui read more
This place is a hidden gem. The oysters shooters and spicy tuna roll was my favorite. Service u gotta have patience cuz there a mom and pop joint. The aloha roll was.confusing I thought the roll would of had cooked onions on there but there raw took away the flavor of the fish. read more
Originally had my heart set on omakase at Koiso but reservations were booked out over a month(!) in advance so I was happy to find this lesser known locally recommended spot with a similar $45 omakase special. Highlights were the perfectly seared unagi, fatty bluefin toro, creamy butterfish and two cuts of melt-in-your-mouth hamachi. I'm a huge uni fan but was slightly disappointed that it was a bit too fishy, meaning likely not the freshest. All of the other pieces were excellent in terms of freshness and quality though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the majority of the chef's choices. This was the first omakase that I've had where everything was served all at once instead of being brought out piece by piece. It was kinda fun being able to select for ourselves the order in which we navigated the tray, but I would've appreciated knowing what each piece was as I was consuming it, something that I personally consider a vital part of the omakase experience. Overall solid sushi restaurant run by a mother-son duo with prompt service offering a lowkey, no frills omakase that's absolutely worth it for the price. read more

An impromptu dinner date while the little went to the trampoline park. It's been awhile since we had sushi and we decided M it is. We hit jackpot that the sushi bar area was open and grabbed two seats and immediately ordered two nigiri sets of uni and bluefin toro. We also order a rainbow roll and waited while we sipped from with our yeti filled refreshments (it's a BYOB establishment). It was a short wait and our order was handed over by the sushi chef. OISHI!!! That uni was buttery and ohhhhh the toro just melts in the mouth. The rainbow roll was classic and well made. It definitely did not disappoint. We realized we were really hungry and ordered two more rolls: Salmon skin and baked salmon. Once again, chef quickly made the rolls and hands over the salmon skin roll...I love salmon skin...at first glance one may think it's small. But I knew...this will be delish! Inside out rolls and that crispy skin, YUMMMMMMM!!!! My boyfriend looked at me and I just said, I'm so happy The chef then hands over the salmon baked roll with such a kind tone warning us that it's hot. And although he warned us and I could see the steam rising off of the roll..I wanted to devour a piece. I waited for a moment and finally gave in. That warm salmon with Mayo/unagi flavor the chef had to know we were extremely happy because we did not hold back our comments. You know food is good when you're dancing in your seat. We didn't stop dancing from the first set of sushi. We were getting full but I saw on the menu Japanese mackerel....I looked at the mister and said want some saba? We couldn't resist adding the last order to cap off our night and as I glanced up I saw the chef looking at me. I sheepishly say, "saba please". He just nodded and grinned. Within minutes a plate of two beautiful pieces of Saba was handed over to us. We both grabbed a piece and cheered our Saba and as it touched my palate I immediately let out a mmmmmmmm. The perfect balance of sweet , salt and vinegary cured mackerel that melted was theeeee perfect way to end the day. All for roughly $140 with tip, I have NO complaints. Service was superb and quick. Sushi was exceeded our last visit...we'll definitely go back again and can't wait for the wagyu sushi that the didn't have this visit. read more

M-Sushi in Wailuku! 10.14.23 This is a nice and cozy place to get some great sushi. Had some oyster shooters, Bluefin Toro, the Seared Garlic Tuna Roll (Seared Tuna, Avocado, Crab, Roasted Garlic, with garlic ponzu!) and the 911 Roll (Spicy Tuna, Avocado, Jalapeño, with spicy Mayo!) Warm service, chill ambiance, and great food. Would definitely try again! Gonna get that Omakase next time! read more

We have been wanting to try this sushi place foreverrrrrr but never seemed to get around to it. The YMCA had a parent night out thing from 4-7pm so we dropped our son off to have fun and make new friends and the better half and I went to eat sushi! So excited! We love to eat dinner early (if it's after 5, it's getting to be a little late for me) so since M Sushi opened at 5, can you guess where we were at 4:45?! Um yeah, in the parking lot, waiting for it to open. At 4:55, the OPEN light came on so my husband jumped out of the car was like "let's go!!". And I said "it's not 5 yet!". But he tried the door and it opened so we got an early start! Of course it was just us in this early and we got to choose any table we wanted. There's about six 4-tops, a 6-top, and about 9 seats at the sushi bar. I'm glad we came early because when we were leaving, 3 other tables were occupied. We ordered: Seared ahi garlic roll - DELICIOUS! And 10 pieces!! Garlic chips sprinkled all over the plate too, so yum! 911 roll - spicy and delicious, 10 pieces for this too. Not too much rice too which I like! There was also a spicy sauce on the plate you can drag your piece of sushi thru. Just what my hubby did lol. Superman handroll - no rice in this one but the soy paper is so soft and this roll is also...delicious! Spicy tuna roll - cannot go wrong with old faithful spicy tuna roll. Edamame - love my edamame! Butterfish - this was on the specials board and whenever I see butterfish anywhere, I have to order it, it's my favorite. Wasn't what I was expecting tho, it was like butterfish nigiri. Luckily my husband didn't want any because I really didn't want to share. The butterfish was small but it was melt in your mouth yummm. Japanese egg - this also wasn't what I was really expecting but it was still really good! We also were given Japanese cabbage, ginger, and wasabi. I loveeeee tuskemono and I whacked that pretty fast. Service was great and we got more tsukemono and our waters were filled up as soon as it started getting low. Our food came out really fast which was awesome because I was starving! This is definitely a place we could go to again (and again and again) so if you love sushi and good service, this is the place to go. read more

My group of 4 arrived during peak dinner time and without reservations, we expected to wait. It was approximately a 30 minute wait at that time, however it was WORTH IT! FRESH sushi made to order at this family run restaurant. The casual yet trendy atmosphere set the mood for a fun time with friends. Our group's fave was definitely the hamachi and miso butterfish, SO ONO! "Aunty" as we lovingly called her was so attentive to our needs, despite the fact she is the only server around. Definitely a great time with delicious food. We hope to return soon! read more
Wasn't a real big fan of this place. The sushi rolls weren't worth the price. I may have this opinion because I am used to more traditional Japanese sushi and in my opinion this sushi was more Americanized -- so please keep that in mind. The hamachi kama was great, but I would recommend nothing else of what we ordered. The hamachi carpaccio was okay but the orange zest threw me off in the flavors and I wasn't sure if I liked it and how it went with the fish. The seared tuna roll was wet as if there was water on the bottom of the plate before they plated the sushi, so that ruined the flavor for me -- mushy rice, yuck! The Marilyn mon roll did not have flavor and the soy paper was weird. The service was slow but one good thing is BYOB! I saw people even walking in with their coolers. The restaurant has a darker lighting ambiance -- a little hard to see more so for dates or intimate meals. read more
M Sushi is a busy sushi restaurant on Maui and I'm glad we had reservations. I highly recommend reservations if you're planning to go there on a weekend. Even though we had reservations, we still had a short wait because that's how busy they are. To my understanding, the restaurant is ran by a mother and son duo. It's not the fastest service but it's friendly service. There is sushi counter seating and several tables to accommodate small to large groups. One thing I liked about how they spaced out the tables is that you've got ample space between them. Each order comes with two pieces and we made the mistake thinking it was one so we ordered too much sushi. It was a struggle to finish at the end...especially after countless sake shots. We brought so many bottles that I lost count. It definitely made the dinner fun. The sushi itself was on par with what I thought and expected sushi on Maui would be. Cool spot for sushi in Maui. read more
Love this sushi place! 3rd time here and never disappoints. Fish is always fresh and this time we didn't have reservations so we got seated at the counter. We waited about 30 minutes to an hour for our food but that's just how long it takes when you come at a busy time and it's a small family business. We got seated at 7:00pm on a Friday night. Everything we ordered was delicious! Will definitely be going back! read more
