Located in Wailea. They also have patio seating that offers a great ocean view. They offer BYOB, also give 1 complimentary cocktail of choice. Service is amazing every time. This place is a lot better than the usual places in town. A new favorite and a must try if you are visiting. read more

Nikkei is located in the newer shops above the Shops of Wailea. Nikkei is a fusion that combines Japanese and Peruvian elements. Went for a late lunch and missed the lunch crowd. Delicious food and excellent service. Ordered the Ceviche sampler, Hamachi Crudo, Wailea Ahi Nigiri, Surfing Salmon roll and affogato. Be sure to save room for the affogato! Everything was tasty. The Wailea Ahi Nigiri reminded me of a flavor profile I had in Japan. I would go back and order a bunch of those as a meal. Met the fisherman who supplies the restaurant with their fresh fish. Sipped on a Pisco Sour, a Peruvian specialty. Reservations can be made on OpenTable. Follow their Facebook posts for specials. Looking forward to next time! read more

Would give it another chance. Everything was acceptable, nothing stood out. If someone asked me about it, I would probably tell them it wasn't worth it or recommend another similar place Atmosphere (2/5): When we walked in, the place was very empty since they are brand new and only opened a few weeks ago. I immediately went to the bathroom, where I unfortunately was swarmed by various flies. Additionally, this place had an overall vibe of a sports bar. They had a single musician playing live music, mostly country - which doesn't fit the vibe of sushi or Hawaii. Then the restaurant also had the fights on, which felt very sports bar esq. Service (4/5): We opted to sit outside, and was promptly greeted and taken care of. The food came out extremely quickly and the service was great! Only down side is the restaurant did not have their liquor license yet. Food (3/5): the crispy rice was very phenomenal! The rolls were great, nigiri was also great minus the tamago which came out looking greenish? read more

The food was excellent. Had suomono soup, nigiri sushi, and ahi carpaccio. Would get all again. Kind of sterile/modern ambience. Around 6 PM a chill and talented solo guitarist started playing a nice mix or rock/island style tunes. Those are all the positives. Some surprises were no alcohol ( might be able to BYO, but did not ask) An 18% gratuity is added to all bill and the service this evening did not reflect that. Maybe all the staff are new, but seemed like the waiter did not know the menu, had a mixed up order, and every interaction with the staff was awkward. That said, I will likely give them a month or two to sort things out, see if I can bring my own beverages, and try this place again. As I already noted, the food is good. read more

Food and service was good, what left a distaste in my mouth was the 18% auto gratuity added to the bill with no notice and we were just a party of 2. I asked the server about this when reviewing our bill and he said it was the owners decision to do this. Parties of 8 fine, but a couple is crazy. Most diners in Wailea can afford to tip well and I usually go 20% min. But to be forced to pay 18% with no notice is just poor business. I would have probably left at least 20%, but simply left it at 18%. I know this is a new establishment and this is no way to earn good reviews. Again food and service good, business decision by management not so much. read more

Dined at 1111nikkei Wailea Last night. Enjoyed a great new spot with delicious Peruvian inspired ceviche, and interestingly tasty and unique sushi rolls! Mahalo to Martin Monteverde for a delightful experience, this service and the staff were great. The chefs know how to properly make a roll! Indoor and outdoor dining, clean airy and large. Sushi bar and drink bar. No liquor so BYOB read more

Hmmmm. I love the space and the food is very delicious, but it is far from a well oiled machine....We came for a "snack" and ordered 2 rolls and it took over 60 minutes to get them. The restaurant had about 10 tables that were sat, and there seemed to be 2 servers. Our waitress looked confused when we ordered and asked us to point to the item on the menu. After 15 minutes she came to our table and told us they were out of one of the rolls, so we picked another. After an hour we contemplated leaving. We watched every table around us get their food late. One party of 4 behind us got each of their ordered items within 10 minutes of each other so they all were awkwardly waiting for everyone's food to arrive. The rolls were very good, but not worth the wait or price. They need serious help with staffing/training and menu knowledge. read more

I enjoyed the food, drinks, and the service. I was seated quickly (Tuesday afternoon) and didn't wait long for the food. I'm certain that will change as more people visit and the restaurant becomes more popular. Highly recommend. I had a Lime Pisco and Ahi Ahi Roll. read more

Would give zero stars if Yelp allowed. This unfortunately, was the worst restaurant experience I've had in my entire life from beginning to end. The space is exceptionally beautiful in its minimalism design with an exquisite sounding menu however all of this is cancelled out by our waitress who had no idea about anything on the menu-appearing dazed & confused-a full restaurant with no food served on any tables, and us waiting for two simple rolls for over 75 minutes in which we still didn't receive any food and ultimately forced to cancel our order and left hungry and with the worst service. Went to Paia Fish Market instead. Y'all are located in beautiful and expensive Wailea and need to figure out your staffing, hospitality and service. Won't be back. read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday. Started off with a complimentary cocktail. Our server was good and the food came out fast. I got to watch football, have a free drink, and eat sushi. read more

Had a great birthday lunch with a friend here. Great concept and beautiful presentation out of the current setup, which is a food truck + patio with umbrellas. The indoor dining space is still under construction. Fish was excellent quality and delicious! read more

We went to 1111 Nikkei for lunch. Sat at the bar. The bartender was friendly. The bar stools not so comfortable. The place is new and really clean. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful and it tasted super fresh. Where they lost a star is for the price, it all is way overpriced in my opinion and to top it off, they add 18% gratuity on your bill which I didn't see written on their menu, and almost ended up double tipping until my friend pointed it out, maybe I missed it, but it came as a surprise. read more

Came for a lunch to get away from the resort food and it was so good!! Comfortable and hip interior with a great wait staff. Everything we had was very good and very fresh. Pricing was really reasonable for the area and we would definitely come again. Thanks!! read more

Just opened a week ago . Delicious food , great atmosphere. I will give them the benefit of the doubt since its new. Server did not know what otoro or foie gras was . One item missing from order . They will sort it out I am sure and I will return. Very nice staff , lots of aloha. read more

Located in newish block of restaurants/bars/shops in Wailea. have patio seating but we chose to sit indoors for NYE dinner. They did not have a formal drinks menu but offered house wines and some nice cocktails, including lychee martinis. Service was amazing. In terms of quality the place is on par with other good places in town. Must try if you like nice atmosphere and favor places with cool decor. read more

We were looking for a venue where we could enjoy cocktails, appetizer, and live entertainment, and chose Nikkei when our first choice was hosting a private party... that was going to do karaoke. We walked in without a reservation and were seated at the only available outdoor table on the north end of the patio... after asking if they served cocktails. We waited about fifteen minutes, and after noticing that the menu only listed 'mocktails,' I went inside to inquire--again--with the maitre'd. He then said that they don't yet have their liquor license, but that red or white wine would be complementary. And then listened to him explain to the waitstaff why we were leaving when this was a hard pass for us. it was a huge waste of our time when we were clear at the outset about what we wanted. read more

Just opened and we happened to be in the area. A great pick if you love Japanese food infused with some Peruvian surprises! (Like a little bit of heat/spice). Great ambiance read more

Made a reservation ... they confirmed the res. Drove all the way there to find a sign on the door "CLOSED Sorry for the inconvenience ". WHAT??? What the heck happened?!?! read more

Food is always amazing, live music on weekends but I hear they'll be doing luve music during some nights during the week. Sushi is always delicious, refreshing, and amazing! The mocktails are colorful and refreshing, too! Love the smiling faces and welcoming staff! read more

I am a first-timer at this place. It is the best sushi I have ever had; it melts in your mouth. I barely use my shoyu, and the taste is better without it. The ambiance is perfect, the music isn't that loud, and the lighting is ideal. Service was excellent and observant, refilling our water every time it was empty. I recommend this place to friends and customers who are asking for a good sushi place. And for sure will be back for more. read more

We were craving sushi and saw this restaurant from the road. We got seated quickly and given menus. Our server came around with water and to inform us they do not have a liquor license so they were limited to wine. We ordered some nigiri - scallops, tuna and taco. 2 rolls - spicy tuna and some type of salmon roll. The food came out fairly quickly. I can't say anything was memorable. They appeared to be short handed since we only saw our waitress twice. No one came to refill water. We only got half a glass with our meal. There are other sushi restaurants in the area so I would not recommend this one. read more

Food was delicious ambiance was great and service was delightful. This was the second time we ate here on this trip and highly recommend 1111 Nikkei read more

You know how there is a process of entering a restaurant and someone greets you by saying, "welcome, do u have reservations?" or "one moment, the host/someone will be out to help you." none of that happened. We walked in, stood there waiting to hear acknowledgment by the 3 males employees at the bar and nothing happened. You can tell they didn't want to engage. I said, "how does this work? Do we sit ourselves or wait to be seated?". And it was very obviously none of them wanted to engage with us as it was not their job. One of the 3 males came and said "I'll get the someone". We stood there awkwardly waiting for "someone" which was the hostess, which also turned out to be our server as well. The female server was nice and did her best. She was fine. The boy food runner was so young. You can tell he was nervous just to talk. Other staff at bar couldn't care less to work. It's obvious the staff needs to training on what it means to work. When you apply at a job that means you come in to work. You can tell who just wants to come in, do nothing and leave with a check. We really need to leave because it was awkward. The food was good though. read more

Had dinner in Friday night. Service and employees were impeccable. Ingredients are fresh and food was delicious. We will be returning soon. . read more

Since the first review we have returned for dinner twice and had wonderful meals. Please consider adding the Wagyu Toast to your permanent menu as it is unbelievably good! Small criticism...if possible, please consider improving ventilation. read more

We happened upon 1111 by chance and had a really great experience. The space is beautiful, clean, and has a hip vibe. Everything we ordered was delicious. The staff was very friendly which made up for their learning mode service. I would go back in a heartbeat to explore the menu! read more

Very good spot for ceviche and sushi. Seems new, but the staff were friendly and the service was very good. No liquor license yet when we visited so they had a complimentary pisco sour cocktail for us and that more than made up for the slight inconvenience. We tried the apalatado ceviche, a sushi roll and the miso butter fish special and all were delicious. read more

Awesome and unique dining experience. The Peruvian twist on the Japanese food is like nothing i have had before. The ceviches were all great and the rolls were all super delicious and again, so unique from other sushi experiences. Cannot recommend more, Dominick was outstanding!! read more

Food was ok but dessert was awful because when I saw the automatic 18 percent tip added I threw up my food and it didn't taste good the second time around. F des guys who add auto gear.

We had a great dining experience at Nikkei. The waiter was exceptional--kind, attentive, and gave us fantastic recommendations. The food was delicious, with the wagyu toast being absolutely sublime and the shrimp sui mai bursting with flavor. They have an extensive mocktail menu and I hope they keep that when they get their alcohol license! read more

This restaurant is simply amazing with design of their vast menu. With the ambient lighting and live music, this makes a great pick for any occasion.

Ridiculously bad from service to food. Waited an hour for food to find out they were out of rice.....

I came with my family for some sushi based on the great reviews. The food and service were definitely not worth the price. The restaurant clearly lacks organization based on how long it took to get simple rolls, even edemame came after all the sushi. My kids were very hungry waiting for their orders. The server had an attitude with me. Overall, bad experience. I would recommend going to another sushi restaurant. read more

Just discovered this brand new pop-up with fresh, mouth tempting and artistic eye candy plates to tempt the most taste driven foodie to pleasure. Being food critics ourselves, I felt the authenticity from arrival. I couldn't have been more happy to have discovered this gem hidden in plain site. Aaron had chef and Rachel front of house are a duo to be cherished. Hospitality, elegance, simplicity. What more could you ask from authentic Peruvian cuisine. Mahalo. read more

Great food but that's the only thing. Only men's bathroom was open and it was pretty dirty. The food took about an hour to order to arrive. Our waitress was super sweet but I went to order 3 items and each item was sold out. I hate to leave reviews like this but I felt it was necessary for people to know. On the other hand, the food was absolutely great and if everything else was improved it would be a lovely restaurant!!!! read more

Don't waste your time or money. We ordered 5 rolls and it took over 2 hours. Even when the restaurant cleared out we waited forever. Roll was about as thick as a pencil. Server was friendly but we sat with empty drinks for over 20 minutes as they walked by the table numerous times. Seems they had a lot of staff to provide such poor service. read more

There was dead flies in the soy sauce. The food was pretty good though. I enjoyed the unique flavors.
