    UBE BASQUE CHEESECAKE
    Tiffany T.

    My husband and I decided to end our Maui trip with a bang and chose Morimoto Maui for dinner on our last night at the Andaz. Chef Morimoto is our favorite Iron Chef, and we had a lovely dining experience at his Las Vegas restaurant many years ago. What makes his Maui location stand out, though, is the menu, which blends traditional Japanese cuisine with creative Western and Hawaiian influences. For our appetizer, we ordered one of their menu specials, a King Salmon roll that came with asparagus and a surprising addition of fried pickle. I could have done without the latter because it made the roll overly salty, but the King salmon itself was incredibly fresh and buttery, which helped balance out the unusual pairing. For our main dishes, we ordered the Chilean sea bass and the 16‑ounce Wagyu ribeye. The fish was cooked perfectly and featured a delicious black bean sauce that complemented its flavor and the accompanying vegetables nicely. The ribeye was also well‑seasoned and tender, although for its hefty price and wagyu label, we were expecting it to truly stand out. For dessert, we went with their ube Basque cheesecake, which was generously sized and perfect for those who prefer things "not too sweet". [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant offers an upscale yet relaxed ambiance with its oceanfront setting, which is especially memorable at sunset.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It is the perfect spot to celebrate a special occasion or end a trip to the beautiful island of Maui on a high note.

    My husband and I went to Maui for our honeymoon an this was our one dinner splurge of the trip. My husband's favorite iron chef is Morimoto. I have actually never eaten at any food network chefs restaurants so we were both really excited! I didn't take too many photos because I wanted to be very present. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was at our resort which was nice. We got a table next to the pool and the bar. It was very intimate as there wasn't very many tables nearby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All the food was AMAZING 1. Wagyu Beef Carpaccio. It was super flavorful and the portion was pretty good for the price. 2. Sticky Ribs - WOW! This had to be my favorite out of the dishes we got. The ribs were so tender. The meat literally feel off the bone when you picked it up. When we're in public, I have to be able to use a fork with my ribs 3. Surf and Turf - gah I haven't had lobster in forever and I deffinitly missed it. It was all seasoned so well and a nice sized portion to be able to share. Even though everything was very good, I could of just ordered a few more orders of the sticky ribs. Trust me, if you dine here, you have to order it!!!

    Morimoto was so good we went twice in our week long trip! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's located in the Andaz, and is a beautiful restaurant with sunset views if you time it right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend making a reservation, as we still had a short wait with ours. Both visits we experienced excellent service. The servers were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu to make great recommendations. The duck fried rice and chef's choice combination sushi were highlights for us. Highly recommend if you're in Wailea!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]10 star location for sure I sat outside at the bar overlooking the ocean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nestled behind the Andez Maui a 5 star hotel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you're looking for a place to go with beautiful views go here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very attentive, the bartender was slightly gruff but it was at the end of the day. I have an amazing glass of wine albeit expensive.

    Morimoto Maui is a definite 5 star experience, located inside the Andaz Hotel. We loved every moment of our dining experience. The service was impeccable. Our server was on it, and checked in quite frequently to ensure everything was brought out in a timely fashion. The food was divine. Fresh seafood, with impeccable flavors! I couldn't give a favorite but I've attached photos for ideas! There is also a kids menu which was just perfect for our littles and we truly appreciated that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is spot on. Ocean views, pool views, and if you're lucky you'll see the Hawaiian dances in the Andaz Garden. Just lovely.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will we be back, definitely. This experience has us wanting to try other Morimoto eateries as well! Cheers to perfection Yelpers! Xx

    We LOVED our experience here. Morimoto is located at the lowest pool level of the Andaz with complementary valet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Andaz is a beautiful 5 star resort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes and atmosphere were great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] As many reviewers mentioned their sticky ribs is MUST. I also loved their sea bass and the clam miso soup. I thought the miso soup was delicious and stood out from many other miso soups I've had! We also got the makimoto sashimi which comes with 5 pieces all garnished differently and it was delicious. So fresh and the flavors meshed well. I would definitely come again!

    I love Morimoto always have. This visit was one of the best. Sometimes it can feel like a food mill. Napa comes to mind but the diver in Maui was perfect. The waitress was super bubbly, funny, and a pleasure to chat with. She sounded exactly like Margaret Cho which was a trip. The pace of food delivery was excellent and each dish got better than the last. The location is really nice too, out at the Andaz pool. Morimoto is a must for us when vacationing in Wailea.

    We are big fans of iron chef and so we wanted to try Morimoto while we are in Hawaii. Waygu beef carpaccio --thinly sliced Waygu beef in a citrus sauce . Local fish carpaccio-- love the fish texture and the citrus sauce. Ishi yaki buri nap -- so good with yellow tail slight seared. Server mixes it and told us that morimoto won his first competition with this dish. Kushi yaki -- lobster, pork belly, Waygu burger, and chicken Chef's selection of sashimi -- amazing presentation This place is amazing and the dishes are so unusual and delicious!

    Nancy was really lovely! Andrew was fabulous in seating us by the pool at sunset hour! Fish carpaccio my favorite and the cod with miso sauce! Highly recommend this gorgeous setting!

    Wow wow wow! I loveddddd this experience from world renowned iron chef morimoto! This is a must visit restaurant on the island of Maui. The fish is fresher than ever and the drinks are so unique and beautifully constructed. The aesthetics and service are one in a million. It's a bit of a difficult find unless you're actually staying at the hotel but there's plenty of people to help guide the way. I loved the sushi and I wish the tacos were all you can eat because I could've indulged myself endlessly. Thanks chef morimoto for bringing this gem to the Hawaiian islands.

    Are the different omakase courses still on the menu?

    At this time we are not offering the omakase, but we hope to be able to bring it back to our menu soon!

    Are reservations required?

    They are not required, but I would recommend them if you plan on dining for dinner just to be safe!

    Komo was one of the highlights of our Maui trip…read more Komo is a masterclass in precision and creativity. Fresh, beautifully presented, and, in my view, even better than Nobu at Grand Wailea (everything is better next door, from the sushi to the service and the finishing touches. Every detail felt intentional, from the craft in each dish to the warmth of the service. The sushi was outstanding: fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, but what really set the experience apart was the service. Brianna was fantastic; her customer service was excellent, and she made us feel so well cared for the entire evening. What truly made the night unforgettable, though, was when a staff member guided us outside to take a photo during the beautiful Maui sunset. That thoughtful gesture turned a special dinner into a memory we'll always treasure. Between the world-class food, the warm hospitality, and the stunning views, Komo delivered an experience we'll never forget. Thank you so much! We will be back! Tammy and Brian.

    I'm giving a 3 but I really wish I could give the place a 3.5. Gorgeous venue, very helpful staff,…read moreas someone that enjoys sushi, we just couldn't justify the price of the sushi. Very simple rolls for $20+. We were really disappointed that the flavor wasn't outstanding and ate quite a bit of ginger and soy sauce just to get more flavor out of our experience. You don't go to Komo to get full, you definitely go for the vibes and photos. However, we heavily enjoyed the tea it came with and the cocktails. We'd come back JUST for the cocktails and get food somewhere else. Not for us or the locals I guess ‍
