Arriving at Oao Sushi Go shortly before 1:45 p.m. I was too impatient to wait; a 30% off happy hour deal goes into effect daily from 2 - 6 pm. Not getting the happy hour prices didn't impact my overall feelings about Oao Sushi Go though it would certainly have endeared me more to their offering. During a lunch for two a couple of rolls were consumed ($14 apiece), a couple orders of nigiri ($10 for 2 pieces), and a maki ($9). With a 4% "kitchen service fee" added to the overall bill, I'll admit this $62 (pre-tip) lunch left me wanting. Wanting what? More food, frankly. The restaurant itself, situated in a large strip mall not far from the airport, is pleasant and clean, the fish is fresh, and service is quietly efficient. Nothing wowed me enough to inspire a return but were you planning a visit I'd suggest you do so during their happy hour which also repeats on Friday and Saturday nights from 9 - 10 p.m. read more

Good sushi, service and ambiance. Nice place in downtown Kahului to eat. It's a great place to grab dinner and they have outdoor seating for small groups or parties. All the sushi we ordered were delicious! The sizzling steak smelled so good and tasted good too! Highly recommend to order. Must try! read more

We were sad when our poke food truck moved so we needed somewhere new for lunch when landing on Maui. We found this place on Yelp and have been twice now. It's perfect! It's actually better than the food truck because we can sit down and eat our meal. The sushi is fresh and delicious read more

Was craving sushi and decided to give this place a try. The place was packed and only had bar seating available. However, I was quickly met by the waiter and served shortly after. I was by myself but from walk in to walk out maybe 30 minutes. Food was great probably some of the best Sushi I've had in a while. Sad because I'm not from the area but now have another reason to come back. read more

Absolutely love the Oao Sushi! The service, the ambiance, and the food is amazing. The quality of the fish and food is unmatched and tastes delicious! We got the unagi, negi toro, and salmon avocado roll + the firecracker speciality roll. everything was soo good! 10/10 recommend especially for date night or hanging with friends :) read more

I've never eaten at the town location until now and it did not disappoint! To start, I really appreciate a sushi place that does deals on the actual sushi during happy hour. Not everywhere around here does that and it's the reason I came here instead of elsewhere. The rolls are made spectacularly, the food came quickly, and the service was great. Not a single complaint from me beyond the fact they keep it WAY too cold inside, just like the wailea location read more

Quality food, service, and bar-like ambiance. Oao Sushi is definitely not a place for the norm to enjoy; however, it does come with a financial cost. The rolls my friend and I got were great -- can't go wrong with soft shell crab and a rainbow roll to try tuna, yellowfin, salmon, and more. Like all seafood places in Maui, the fish quality is emaculate. The price here was less justified in my opinion considering you get less fish for a higher price. I would recommend someone go get poke instead of rolls here if there was the chance to. The service was smooth and the owner kept checking up on my friend and I. Pretty grateful for the service. The ambiance was refreshing considering my friend and I got seated at the bar side and could see the fish slicing in action. Purely considering my satisfaction per dollar, I would say I wouldn't go here considering the high price of food. Definitely not a bad place to go, but I would put this place as a backup before other options. read more

This place is pretty good. My only regret is going here few hours before I leave. The food was great. We had four different rolls and we couldn't decide which one is the best. Edamame should have been basic but it's gotta be one of the best edamame I've had. It was buttery and perfectly cooked. Uni was also really good. read more

Such a good sushi spot! My friend from Maui recommended it, and am super glad we went. A little pricy depending on what you get, but super worth it! Sushi was so delicious and so much options. I personally loved the calamari, maybe one of the best calamari I've ever had! Had a party of 5 so had to wait half an hour to get seated, but service was pretty fast! Indoor and outdoor seating provided. read more

Oao Sushi Go has a limited selection, but each item has its own special identity. Packed full of flavor, well balanced, and the freshest you can get. Oao Sushi is providing a new wave of creating deicious sushi amd bringing it to your table. Service is great and staff members are friendly. Interior is very clean and organized. I recommend there lava roll and deep friend ice ceam. A must try when you visit the island of Maui read more

The sushi was so good! My favorite was the salmon aburi roll. I think the pricing is pretty fair, but if you go during happy hour it's like 30% off or so, but definitely worth it! Our waiter was so friendly and funny when he was checking on us! Told us to try the tuna Kizami wasabi roll next time. We hope to get him again as our waiter too! We sat outside and it was nice and cool out for lunch and it was spacious enough to talk amongst friends. Definitely recommend! read more

I decided to case the joint to see why it was being talked about, tipping my hat down so I couldn't be recognized. The guy at the door was friendly, too friendly, why was he being so nice? Uneasy, I accepted the menu he was offering and decided to cross examine him. "You do to go" I asked suspiciously. "We sure do, have a menu" he answered, too quickly, too slick, too good, too friendly . I flicked my eyes around the room, watching the smiling customers enjoying sushi, the chef frozen smiling at me holding a knife, another nodded at me. I nodded back. I know that look. "Spicy Tuna, and make it fast" I told the still smiling guy at the front, watching the cook with the knife slicing through flesh with quick deft movements. I narrowed my eyes judging him. An expert, definitely suspect. I kicked my heels watching from a corner, trying to read the room, but all I got was happy customers, clean floors and great decor. There had to be something going on here. Something was off here but it wasn't the fresh fish. In less than 5 minutes the happy guy handed me a paper bag with sushi, napkins, condiments, even chopsticks...good, too good. Damn, I couldn't get a handle on this joint. No faults, apart from being too friendly. I paid and left with a sideways glance at the chef wielding the knife, he smiled at me as he sliced, not a man to meet in a dark alleyway I decided. Back in the safety of my getaway vehicle I chanced a bite of the spicy tuna, damn it was mouthwateringly good. 8 pieces, and so fresh. What were they up to? How did they do it? Who were they in league with? I decided on my second bite that I needed to case the joint again. This was going to be a long job, but someone had to do it. I was ready for the challenge, and ready for more delicious sushi. I needed more dirt on them, this was going to be an interesting mission, one my tastebuds were going to enjoy. read more

This review is for the food truck location. They have a sit down place with a full bar not far from here. Fresh, delicious, melt in your mouth sashimi. Imaginative rolls. Sit at picnic tables under pop-ups. Stayed in Napili but made the drive. Nearby beaches can have rough waves. read more

it was super good and fresh but they didn't give us the discount for happy hour. But was SOOOOO GOOD

Service and the rolls were outstanding! We had the black mamba roll and rainbow. Delicious.

The staff were friendly and the service was good. The location is in a strip mall, so the patio has a view of the parking lot. The prices are quite high. You can go to Nuka or Vana for a similar price point, much better food, and incomparably better ambiance. read more

We have been to this restaurant before when we visited Maui and it has absolutely outstanding sushi. The restaurant has a very nice casual upbeat vibe. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and unlike many sushi restaurants where you wait for a long time to get your food, the food came out very quickly. In addition to nigiri and sashimi, which was very fresh, we had several specialty rolls, including the white dragon roll and the firecracker roll, both were exceptionally good. Also, we happened to be fortunate enough to be eating during happy hour so the prices are slightly less than regular menu prices which is always a plus. While prices are not inexpensive, it's totally worth the price. This is a must go to place for sushi in Maui and was worth the hour drive from where we were staying. read more

Party of 4 stopped for our last dinner on Maui this trip, based on recommendations we got from locals and visitors. Very fresh and delicious nigiri. Sushi we tried included the Crispy Dragon roll and firecracker roll. Both were delicious. We also tried Tuna maki and salmon ava (avocado). All were so tasty- firecracker roll was the table favorite! We also enjoyed the brown miso soup! Just a bit of kick to it and hit the spot. Our server was helpful explaining all the rolls and what they were like. He also recommended a good one to try after our first round. It's a popular spot, and full by 6:30pm. It's lively but not loud really. We made reservations. On the spendy side, so don't freak at the prices. Excellent dinner! read more

This place was amazing! Wish we would've stopped here when we landed. We stopped on our way out in a rush. Definitely recommend stopping by this amazing sushi place! Service was fast and friendly. Fresh fish and rolls are great! read more

Currently my favorite spot on Maui for Sushi! First tried their sushi through their food truck that was in Kihei a couple years ago, and I couldn't believe the quality that came out from that food truck lol. Visited their wailea location and it was just as great, but it was so busy. Now they have their location here in Kahului and it's perfect! Service is quick, great happy hour, ambiance is lively, very clean, workers are so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back again soon! read more

I was a little skeptical getting sushi from a food truck, and frankly my skepticism was correct. The speciality rolls are $20+. I ordered two of them, can't remember which ones unfortunately. The rolls themselves just weren't great. They didn't taste bad, but honestly didn't taste good either. There wasn't really much flavor at all. They also didn't come with anything to actually pour soy sauce into, which made things a little difficult. I did order some salmon nigiri, which was actually quite large, and was ultimately probably a little better than the rolls. read more

45 min wait for 1 hamachi hand roll. Find another place if you want sushi to go for lunch.

Went here today for lunch. Have been wanting to try them out since they opened this location. I have been to the Wailea location before and have tried them as a food truck. The service was very good we were greeted at the front door and seated right away. Then our waiter came over and checked on us to see if we wanted anything besides water. It was nice because it seemed like everyone there were working together. The food was good the ambiance was nice. I Definitely like the variety of places to eat. On this trip we ordered the Brussel sprouts,Hamachi carpaccio, Soft Shell Crab Hand Roll, Baked Mussels. We enjoyed everything. My favorite was the Hamachi carpaccio , we also had a roll with hamachi and jalapeños. Which was delicious. The soft shell crab hand roll was a decent sized hand roll. So keep that in mind when ordering. Will definitely be back to try out some other menu items. read more

Found this place on our way back from Hana, and this was fantastic!!! Steak bites and rolls hit the spot!

Overall had a great time! The service was good and the food came out pretty quick. Really good for a date night if you feel like treating yourself. Also the location is convenient since it's nearby target. Tried lots of rolls and items on the menu my favorites were the seafood dynamite, soft shell crab roll, and a salmon roll I don't remember the name of. The food tasted good and was high quality i got more than what i expected. read more

So I walked up and asked if it was happy hour? He said thanks for reminding me you get a special menu. So I ordered 2 items off the happy hour menu. Food was good. I liked the shrimp tempura, but thought the check was a little high, I didn't have my glasses so took a lic of the receipt, sure enough it says I ordered during happy hour from the happy hour menu but didn't get happy hour prices, they over charged me $7 for each item, well, never going back again, lots of other honest sushi places to try read more

Located in the old Maui Tacos spot next door to Spectrum, Oao is the 2nd brick and mortar location for this group after opening their first dine-in location at the Wailea Gateway Center a couple years ago. I have eaten a lot of their maki rolls at their food truck and Wailea spot, and they do a really good job of creating eye-pleasing sushi rolls that mostly incorporate avocado, crab mix, shrimp tempura, tuna/salmon/hamachi, and unagi sauce. This new location features many of their popular makis like the baked Haleakala, 69 roll, and seafood loaded. Great Hawaiian style sushi spot. Comparable Great job on upgrading the interiors to a clean, modern feel. Great addition to the area! read more

Best sushi happy hour (30% off daily 2pm-6pm plus late nights on fridays and saturdays) , great location with ample parking Amazing service everyone was smiling.
