At Satori, the farm‑to‑table, veg‑forward idea means lots of rough greens, nuts, and fruit mixed into poke and handrolls that look like local favorites but taste nothing like the classics we grew up loving. We had poke bowls, a spicy handroll, and ramen, and even though we showed up genuinely hungry, my family could barely finish their food. And honestly, the food was only half the problem. The outdoor seating felt less like a laid‑back Maui spot and more like a neglected picnic table next to uncovered trash cans, with ants and other insects on the table and a swarm of flies so aggressive it was hard to relax or enjoy the meal at all. I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but in this case it feels deserved. Sorry, but we won't be coming back.

We live on the other side of the island and while we have an excellent Japanese restaurant (Takumi…read more- try the omakase) we decided to drive over to experience Nuka as it has so many fantastic reviews, and we really appreciate and enjoy Japanese cuisine. Nuka was exceptional. Authentically Japanese, the restaurant is beautifully yet serenely decorated, the staff are welcoming and well versed in the menu and flavors, and pricing is competitive for island restaurants. In fact when you know the healthy ingredients are the best available, locally grown/caught/raised and cooked to perfection it takes it up a notch. We arrived just as they opened for lunch at 11.30am and luckily managed to be seated straight away. I've read that dinner is much harder to get a table and there is a long wait so arrive accordingly ;) Parking is available in the car park next door beside the gym, free and self parking. So, what did we order?......... Grapefruit lychee spritzer - we chose the mocktail version but you can make it a cocktail too. Sooo citrusy and thirst quenching. Not sweet, zingy. Very refreshing on a hot Maui day Miso - earthy, salty, brothy, umami, steaming hot in a bowl to start off your extravaganza of a meal Shio koji cabbage - finely shredded with sesame and house milled bran and seasoning, like an elegant Japanese coleslaw, I loved it! Nasu Miso eggplant - slightly sweet because of the miso, I liked the taste but it wasn't a texture I'm used to eating, which I found a lot in Japan, eg mochi. But I can't fault the dish because of that, the miso umami was richly broiled and it was a popular dish House Nuka pickles - crunchy, fresh and sprinkled with sesame (daikon radish, carrot and cucumber), a good palate cleanser and a nice texture to complement the eggplant above. Not vinegary, just fresh Saba Nigiri - two pieces of moreish mackerel sushi, melt in the mouth with so much flavor, decent sized nigiri too Shiso Country sushi roll - on the specials list, and it was amazingly special! Ahi, habanero masago, orange masago, shaved shiso leaf, ponzu, so many flavours and textures combined into a party in the mouth, with a slight heat build as you ate it. A favourite Miso Butterfish - OMG it looked so amazing and was another popular dish, for a good reason, it is delicious. Melt in the mouth, flaky, savory cod, a nice sized serving, and the miso sauce is sooo good with the buttery fish Lilikoi ice cream - hubby only had room for one generous creamy scoop served with chocolate wafers and decorated with fresh mint. Perfect end to a delightful meal We both felt that this is definitely one of the best restaurants on island, culturally and gastronomically, pricewise and food presentation, authenticity and awareness of local produce....it all adds up to an outstanding dining experience. We will most definitely be returning even though we have to drive an hour and half to get there! "Gochisousama deshita"

Service - the server was training a new worker, which was fine, but the trainer kept asking us if we were ready for our check, which we weren't, as we were still ordering food. At the time, we were the only people there. They were also very casually dressed. Too casually in our opinion. Food - Amazing! The best sushi we've had in quite a while. The size of the fish in the maki rolls were maybe the largest I've ever seen. The salmon is from New Zealand and Unagi and Scallops from Japan. Top quality! The Jyuwari Soba noodles were excellent and made only of buckwheat, no wheat. They make their soba fresh every day. It really makes a difference. One of the best sobas I've ever had. Although the dish could have used more mentaiko, I could barely taste it once the sauce was added. The prices were very reasonable compared to other restaurants. We met one of the owners and sushi chef Marlene McLellan, who runs the restaurant with her father Shane. Her mother is Japanese. The family hails from New Jersey.

Sadly, that information is outdated or incorrect; this store does not carry healthy alternatives. Aside from that, it's a solid little local market that reminds me of a 7-Eleven. It's perfect if you need to stop in quickly to grab a cup of coffee and a standard meal to go. I love supporting local shops, so I'll still stop by for convenience, but skip it if you are looking for healthly foods!

The butter rolls were super soft and had a nice sweetness to them. I enjoyed them! The stick donut was AMAZING! I enjoyed pulling it off the stick. The glaze is delicious and the donuts have a crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. So yummy! I'll definitely be back for more! There were three sweet ladies working in the store. One was getting what seemed to be phone orders prepared and the other two were checking people out. They take credit card in addition to cash! Parking: Need to find street parking in the area or try the lot behind the store. They were super friendly too.

My girlfriend and I have been here a handful of times and it never disappoints…read more It is pretty pricey, but welcome to Maui. They are of the same company as Gather down in Wailea, and the menu reflects that. It is a high-end ingredient and creation experience. So far, we have had the curry, Mac nut mahi, fried chicken sandwich, fried noodle dish, and wonton appetizer...everything has been top-notch. We did try the crab pizza which seemed like an aberration to everything else. Definitely do not order that. Cocktails were pretty great too. Service is solid. If I had to nitpick, you are paying high dollars but the ambience is not quite the same as a four-star hotel or Gather. I mean, it is a general store...so there is a slight value to price mismatch. The setting and ambience is very inexpensive, but everything else is expensive, but the dishes deliver. All in all, this is a place that deserves repeat visits. Each time we try something different, it is fantastic. Next time, I can't wait to try the lobster cream pasta. Just like Gather, the menu is not huge. Once you go a few times, you have the gist of what it's about. If you're a foodie, you're looking to move onto other experiences versus to keep going to the same place.

However, when you have to wipe the dust off of your dipping bow and plate, that kinda concerns me. The outdoor tables are located under a tree. Who knows where the "dust" came from. Strike 1. The ahi that was served with the salad was warm. Never had sashimi served warm (and with salt n pepper on it). Kinda scared me, but we still ate it. I truly regret this. Strike 2.

My husband and I shared our plates with each other. We both ended up with painful, upset stomachs that night. Strike 3.

Unfortunately, there were no oysters. It was actually a bit tough to find a place with oysters in Maui (shoutout to Fleetwood's). It was perfect because we ended up just wanting a light dinner, and this restaurant has tapas and small portions. Not a bang for your buck, by any means, though. I was a bit bummed because I wanted a specific appetizer (similar to a wagyu beef tataki), but they did not have it. Instead, I got the hamachi carpaccio, which was still good. I also ordered a spicy rainbow roll. You could tell that the fish was very fresh on top, but the roll itself was just decent. Not worth the $25 and it was also not spicy. I think my favorite food item was the karaage. It was crispy, tender and the sauce was the cherry on top. I am looking at the menu and I realize that a lot of these cocktails are new, which is another bummer because I would have loved to try all of them (guava mojito, spicy lilikoi mezcalita and vana colada -- yes please!) The restaurant itself is so cute! There is definitely a rustic vibe to it. It could look like a treehouse because there's a big tree in the middle and string lights. It is an outdoor restaurant, and there is an extended outdoor section as well that has a little more secluded feel. There's a bar area, but it is a bit small.
