Well , the food and atmosphere are superb. The service is extremely slow . We sat at 7 pm , no water or menu till 748 pm . My opinion is that the wait staff are consumed with explaining the menu to people who have no idea what a sushi restaurant is . That is very time consuming hence the wait on other tables . Plus its very pricey. Wont go back any time soon read more

Absolutely -- here's a natural, personal version that works great for both Yelp and Google: We had an incredible experience at Nobu at the Grand Wailea, and a huge part of that was because of our waiter, Brandon. He provided some of the best service we've ever experienced and his food recommendations were absolutely spot-on. Everything he recommended was amazing, and he made the entire evening feel so special. We were celebrating my fiancée's 30th birthday, and Brandon went above and beyond to make sure it was a night we'll always remember. His attention to detail, personality, and genuine hospitality really stood out. Thank you, Brandon, for making an already special trip even more memorable. If you're dining at Nobu, definitely ask for Brandon -- he's the best! read more

Nobu is located on the third floor of the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui. It opened in April 2025 making it a relatively new addition to the island. However, it's massive as it spans more than 13,000 square feet with both indoor and outdoor seating with views of the Pacific Ocean. We made reservations online for our special occasion with requests to be outside for the sunset. The yellowtail jalapeño ($42) had good spice. The tiradito nobu style ($41) was a Peruvian-inspired sashimi with red snapper and I liked the dehydrated soy salt and yuzu. The crispy rice spicy tuna ($40) was deconstructed where we soaked the rice in soy sauce (per the server's recommendation) then scooped with tuna, but it wasn't really spicy and we tasted way too much soy sauce. The white fish sashimi dry miso ($42) has always been one of my favorites and I loved the crispy garlic. The tai sweet shiso ($42) is a Maui-specific dish with red snapper and we loved the umami bombs of the dried mushrooms; this one was probably my favorite of the cold dishes. The salmon avocado roll ($18) was standard. The bluefin toro sashimi ($26 each) fell apart in my mouth and just melted. The black cod miso ($65) was cooked well and was my favorite of all the hot dishes. The sea bass dry miso ($68) was tender and also cooked well. The ribeye truffle butter with crispy onions ($105) was a little tough but I loved the truffle butter and the crispy onions. This is usually my favorite hot dish but not this time. For drinks I had the rum connection ($25) which is another Maui-specific item but tasted a little watered down. While we've been to Nobu before, we wanted to experience the one here and wanted to try Maui-only dishes. If you're not looking to have a full meal you can stop by the bar from 5-7pm for tanoshi tour for discounts on small plates, cocktails, and other drinks. Some dishes were delicious but others didn't quite live up to the standards that I expected from Nobu. It was still a great experience to be outside watching the sunset as our meal came to an end. read more

I'll be dreaming of dry miso sea bass for weeks to come. My wife and I treated ourselves to a rare date night while staying at the Grand Wailea. The view was incredible. We watched waves come in from our table between courses of delicious food. The staff were so kind, welcoming and helpful. Ordered a side car and Negroni cocktail first up. Both were strong, delicious, and well flavored. Seeing nobu stamped into the ice cube reminded me that I did not belong there. Fortunately, that was obvious to the server and he did a great job explaining to us how the menu worked since it was our first time visiting one (this is a chain?). We opted for à la carte so we could cherry pick the best entrees, sides, and veggies that sounded best. The modern sashimi, wagyu tacos, and dry miso sea bass were the highlights. It's pricey but for us it was an incredible experience filled with a level of culinary excellence we've never experienced - not will again anytime soon. read more

Dined here 4 days in a row. I've been to the Nobu's all around the world. There is something special about this one besides that it's absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The people the level of Service is next level all our servers bar. People were absolutely amazing and made the experience something special. The Food take a look at the pictures. Everything is absolutely fabulous literally if I can make one recommendation try the little Wagu Burgers we had them every night as an appetizer. They have a great bar staff. They're doing an amazing job with all their cocktails. read more

Went to Nobu last night for a light dinner while enjoying the beautiful weather and stunning views.

Sat at the sushi bar by myself and was warmly greeted by the sushi chef who assisted with appetizers and sashimis coming out before the water even hit the table. atmosphere is great perfect open air view out to the ocean and music was playing at a great background. Crispy rice spicy tuna; the yellowtail and toro sashimi were perfect. The ribeye also cooked medium rare as requested Dominique guided me through the menu and pleasant and attentive. One of my favorite nobus I've been to. read more

Surprisingly, my first time at a Nobu. I wasn't blown away by the variety of offerings because they are highly copied, and have inspired countless other establishments. Also, we were here during tropical storm LaLa so the staff was contending with that wildcard. That said, the service was exemplary, the martinis were amazing, and the miso black cod is unmatched. read more

Second time at Nobu, but our first visit to the Wailea location. We left feeling a bit underwhelmed. Nothing we ordered really stood out or felt especially memorable. While the food was good, it didn't justify the price point. I've honestly had better sushi at small neighborhood spots for a fraction of the cost. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to the reputation or the hype. read more

What amazing service, and dining experience! The servers are so knowledgable in every dish and Chef Nobus story. The view is incredible and truly one to remember. Located on the 3rd floor of grand wailea. We surprised my mom with a beautiful birthday dinner here and then had to come back again on our last night!

First time to any Nobu location and this was one of the best service experiences I've ever encountered. The terrace seating was a vibe. Menu didn't have any descriptions for the food but our server Garrett was really patient and thorough on explaining everything.

Well for Nobu this one was not on the same level as expectations. Strangely at the end I can hear the guy apologize in a sarcastic manner that he had to process a gift card( that was us) The service was a little slow. Once we finished our first Sake it sat empty for call it 10 minutes before we had to flag the server back down to order another one. The guy serving water and cleaning plates was on point. The food definitely not as we experienced at other Nobu's. Makes me hesitant to go back to a Nobu period. The best dish we had that night was the cucumber kelp app. The uni nigiri was pretty good as well. Unfortunately will not go out of my way to return here. read more

Went to Nobu for a dinner while on our honeymoon! The restaurant was in a beautiful hotel- the Grand Wailea and it was truly stunning and palatial! The restaurant itself was also very stunning with super tall ceilings and very nice decor! Our waiter was super knowledgeable and helpful ! He explained and went over the menu with us as this was our first time ! I really enjoyed the food here and I thought all was very tasty! The standout was of course the cod that that tasted absolutely delicious!!!! Basically like butter but also sweet and savoury! Every bite was great! The maki's were great as the fish was very fresh! They also gave us a chocolate chip mochi dessert on the house which I thought was very nice ! Overall nice experience :) read more

Nobu Maui is everything you hope it will be -- stunning views, flawless service, and food that hits every note. We ordered a mix of classics and new favorites, and everything delivered: * Thai Sweet Shiso -- unique, vibrant, and absolutely delicious. * New Style Salmon Sashimi -- a Nobu classic that never misses. * Rock Shrimp Tempura -- a party in your mouth that you never want to end. * Black Cod Miso Lettuce Wraps -- small but powerful bites packed with flavor. * Hand Roll Sampler -- a great touch, with something for everyone. The setting is unbeatable: oceanfront views that feel surreal, paired with a perfectly chic, relaxed vibe. Service was exceptional as always -- attentive, warm, and seamless. Every visit to Nobu feels special, and Maui might just be the crown jewel. Can't wait to go back. read more

Service here is amazing and it is such a beautiful restaurant. All of the food quality was amazing, and fresh however somewhat overpriced but still amazing. If you're looking for a more fancier date night idea, this is the place to be however, some of the stuff you can get for significantly cheaper elsewhere on the island but you're mostly paying for the ambience, the location and the service. read more

Staying down in Wailea Maui and had to have a meal at Nabu. Our seating was at 5pm, and the 3 of us in family stayed till 730p. Great service by a team of 3, very attentive. Eat outside if you're looking for a sunset view, just know it gets cool after sun goes down. As for the food, I would say good not great. They charge between $30 and $100 for small plates. It's worth going once for sure. I thought their drinks were average. read more

Beautiful setting, impeccable service, food was disappointing...we had a much better "Tasting Dinner" at Spoon & Key.

Really enjoyed Nobu at the Grand Wailea. Food and service were up to Matsuhisa standards. The venue adds a special character that few of Nobu's other locations can replicate. We had the standards including the hamachi jalapeño , black cod miso, crispy rice with spicy tuna tartare, lamb chops and a variety of their nigiri sushi. The one thing that stands out is the quality of their food. The freshness and perfection of the fish served was incredible. The hard part is my kids (15 and 17) now want to eat at Nobus back here in Southern California all the time. Great dinner, great ambience and service was exceptional. Arigato. read more

Nobu at the Grand Wailea was absolutely amazing from experience, food, customer service to the whole atmosphere. We can for a birthday dinner and it was our first time. Our waiter really wanted to give us the "nobu" experience and offered that he pick out the meals himself and we come up with a total price of what we would spend. All choices he made did not disappoint and gave us very detailed on each dish that was brought out. The setting is romantic and this was a perfect date night. My experience here was phenomenal. read more

Nobu at Grand Wailea has beautiful views, but the experience didn't live up to the hype. Service was just okay, and while the food was good, it wasn't memorable--our server's recommendations fell flat. Drinks were overpriced and nothing special. We went on my birthday, spent over $500, and didn't even get a "happy birthday," which felt disappointing. Glad we tried it for the location, but for sushi, Komo next door at the Four Seasons is far better in both food and service. The setting at Nobu Grand Wailea is stunning, with beautiful views, but overall the experience left us underwhelmed. The service was just okay, and the food, while good, didn't stand out. Our server's recommendations weren't particularly enjoyable, and the cocktails were overpriced and fairly ordinary. I went for my birthday and, despite making reservations in advance and spending over $500, there wasn't even a small gesture to acknowledge the occasion--not even a simple "happy birthday" or dessert. For a restaurant at this level, that felt especially disappointing. I'm glad I had the chance to experience the location, but I wouldn't return. For sushi in Maui, Komo at the Four Seasons is far superior, outstanding food, excellent service, and an overall unforgettable experience. read more

I mean... I couldn't find a complaint of you paid me to. Our server was outstanding, and of course the food was everything Nobu always is. Came here to celebrate my birthday and it was unreal getting to dine outside and watch the sun set over the ocean. Nothing better than that I don't think. Also- I have a gluten allergy and EVERYTHING was made perfectly and altered in a way I could eat it. I so appreciate Nobu for always ALWAYS accommodating so perfectly. Plenty of GF options! read more

We expected Nobu at The Grand Wailea in Maui be expensive. We didn't expect to feel nickel-and-dimed. $40 for two tiny 2-inch tacos. Over $600 for dinner for four. And when my husband asked for a coffee refill, our server refused and told him he'd have to buy another cup for $12. At $600+ for dinner, you'd think a coffee refill wouldn't break the bank. Luxury prices should come with luxury hospitality. Unfortunately, this experience didn't. read more

Incredible food! All of the nobu locations are consistently excellent!!! What a great meal, terrific sushi and wonderful ambiance!! Mahalo!

Service was subpar, extremely high prices and mediocre food/drinks. Nobu has high standards yet everything was so low quality especially being in Maui... House made sake was trash. Views were the only thing great about this place. read more

By far one of the best restaurants with a view. It's hard to beat the view here. The setting is true eye candy. Our waiter was attentive and made sure we were taken care of throughout the night. We let the server and chef guide our dining experience and they did an amazing job. One of the top meals I have ever had. The bad part is I don't know the names of all the dishes that were brought out. They were all so good. I do know my son doesn't eat fish but he had 5 pieces of seared salmon that night and loved it. I have the pictures and great memories of an awesome night. Thank you!! read more

I personally would've never chosen to dine at Maui's first Nobu, but I'm glad my spouse and friend decided for all of us! ATMOSPHERE: Open-air and located in the Grand Wailea Resort, the former Grand Dining Room/Ikena space has been moderately renovated, mainly with new lighting and decorative materials adorning the ceiling and uppermost windows. While it looks nice, it impedes the signature ocean view you used to see when entering the resort's lobby. Choose from sushi counter, bar, low top and lanai seating. A private dining room is available. MENU: Hot and cold Japanese apps, sushi, seafood, meats, poultry and desserts. The menu lacks descriptions which is trying. FOOD (expertly curated by our server, Sherry): Yellowtail Jalapeño Slivers of buttery fish in a pool of sweet-savory sauce, with mild heat from the sliced peppers. Very nice app. White Fish Sashimi Dry Miso Slivers of delicate white sashimi with citrusy notes. The dry miso topping gave a pleasing crunch and saltiness. Nobu Tacos We chose wagyu. They're tiny. One-bite tiny. But, freakin' delish with savory & sweet elements. Highly recommended. Salmon Sashimi Partially-cooked salmon slices finished with a salty and citrusy sauce, crisp green beans and sesame seeds. Highly recommended. Rock Shrimp Tempura (Creamy Spicy) Bite-sized pieces of crispy, battered shrimp drizzled with a tart & creamy aioli. We found some mushrooms underneath as well. Mainstream but good. Black Cod Miso The celebrity chef's specialty dish. Good-sized cut of flaky, tender, boneless fish done in the traditional way. Mainstream but excellent. Beef Tenderloin Toban Yaki Tender & flavorful sliced steak on a searing hot plate, with thick brown gravy, enoki mushrooms and asparagus. About the size of a chicken thigh and heavenly. DESSERT: Date Cake Super moist cake, not overly sweet, with crunchy nuts and a scoop of vanilla gelato on top. Highly recommended. Whiskey Cappuccino Served cold, the whiskey foam was a unique touch. Very good. SERVICE: Host greeting was smiley, immediate and professional. Our server, Sherry, was top notch! Bubbly, friendly and passionate, she was on top of it all. Food runners presented dishes with descriptions which was informative. OVERALL: Pricey, but a welcomed and great addition to Wailea. First time for us but won't be the last. read more

Honestly this place was so mid and maybe even less. Service was great and staff was super kind but you can get fresher fish on the island for so much cheaper. This reminds me of when you buy something just for the brand name. So expensive for just mid sushi. Also their card readers were down for the whole hotel so we had to pay in cash. Glad we had enough but I would think a place like Nobu could comp something for the inconvenience. Just a thought. Would not go back to another Nobu lol read more

Was really excited to hear that we were getting a Nobu on Maui so I booked a reservation and started saving. Overall would say it's alright and really expensive. For me I wouldn't go back. But for more detail below... Starting with looks the restaurant is so cool and stylish the interior is so pretty. We also got an umbrella seat outside with had a great view of the hotel. There's also seating by the sushi chefs/bar Service was great coming in we were greeted with a welcome in (in Japanese) by the staff. Our waiter was also really nice. Food is were things start going down. Drinks overall really pricey. The tea we were served was just warm and when asked they said they only had one temperature. Got grapefruit juice it was really sour. I probably should've got something else. Fried mushroom salad really good solid crunchy mushroom and a good dressing. Spicy seafood soup also good a good kick of spice. When asked for small bowls to share they said they didn't have any. But then they were able to find some. The famous miso black cod is just as good as they say the best thing we had. Beef skewers weren't that great and very small. Sushi was just okay and not that great. read more

Nobu never disappoints. The black miso cod was rich, and every bit as incredible as its reputation promised. I'll be dreaming about it for a while. The green beans were crisp, cool, and perfectly tangy. The tempura shrimp with butter ponzu sauce was light, and somehow still packed with flavour. Truly unforgettable. And the nigiri (scallop and tuna) was unbelievably fresh. Now we know exactly what to aim for when trying to recreate top-tier fish at home. read more
