I started with their house Mai tai, which comes with a coconut foam. Food: - Hamachi carpaccio: nice with the jalapeño - Tuna kizami: great soy marinade on this, with pickled wasabi - I ended up ordering an extra of this one - Soft shell crab roll - Salmon skin roll: good crunchy texture The rolls used regular white rice as opposed to shari, but the kids didn't mind. Service was friendly, and I liked the chill vibe there. It's a solid happy hour in Wailea if you want sushi!

Amazing mom and pop sushi spot in Maui!…read more I first came to this place years ago when my sister brought me here. Had to come back and I was not disappointed. I kept forgetting to make reservations a month in advance and called them on a Wednesday to see if there was any openings for two. Luckily, there was a 7:30pm spot for Friday . Pro tip: the nigiri comes in two. We completely forgot about that and double ordered everything. Luckily, we finished everything. Sushi was fresh and on point. The chef and staff were very friendly. We loved the entire experience. The nigiri were huge in fish cuts, and small in rice so it was perfect since we over ordered. Highly recommend this spot if you are in Maui. Please call ahead to make reservations as they do not allow walk ins. The place only hold 16 seats.

The $65 12 piece omakase was delicious and one of the best we had ever had. I knocked off one star for price, the miso soup was not included and service was friendly but not the most attentive. Would go back and do recommend while staying in Maui!

All the tables were full of tourist families - it was good vibes, the tables separated by white sheer curtains giving it a little elegance. But there was really terrible cheesey top 40 radio playing which offset everything and was a little distracting for me tbh I got the Crab cake app - it deep fried with lots of filler. Not amazing. There was a lot of mahi on the menu! Their liquor selection was more limited than I'd think - so I skipped a cocktail. I got the Mac crusted mahi - sadly it was flavorless and the sauce was cold. "Vegetables"were 1 piece of bok choy and 1 carrot Grateful the Brownie dessert was the star of the show. Not sure I'd be back but am glad I went.

BUT, seafood here is over the top, my wife had a white fish like ONO, but too long a name to spell. Over mashed potatoes and grilled veges Mine was Blackened and seared Ahi over sticky rice and asparagus spears. We both had a nice small Caesar. The sushi bar no longer is here. Completely removed and replaced with about a dozen or more tables for four. Really , if you want a treat at sunset , come here. Great service.

Every part of the dining experience from reserving via text directly to the owner, to being…read morewelcomed into this small cozy place, feels like you had a sushi chef friend who invited you to their home. I had to modify a reservation due to jet lag, and the woman who handled the entire 15 person dining room, knew exactly who I was when i walked in, even though I had never been there! It's literally only the husband behind the counter and the woman taking care of taking orders, serving, and checking in on every diner. The small decorations are fun and whimsical, especially if you sit at the sushi bar. Prices are very fair for the quality of the fish and although they do have set combinations, I preferred to create my own. I got the miso soup, albacore, yellowtail, Maguro, shrimp tempura roll, vegetable roll, and negihama. I ended up ordering enough for 3 people, but since I was staying in a condo, they graciously packed leftovers to go with condiments! Count on about $100 per person if you have a drink and a hearty appetite. A beautiful gesture upon leaving was being gifted a fresh flower!

I still love Satoe and the idea of this place. I loved it so much the first time, I made a point to…read morereturn 3 years later. Sadly, the sushi did not meet my expectations this time. Traditionally, sushi chef put soy sauce and wasabi in the between the fish and rice, and it's part of the flavor. I don't remember how it was done last time, but that was not the case this time. I had to awkwardly flip the nigiri pieces and dip the fish side in soy sauce, and then they fall apart. Ugh. Also, I didn't appreciate the size of the rice. It was impossible for me to eat the whole piece in one bite, but it's kind of rude not to under the traditional Japanese etiquette. The fish quality was.....okay. TBH, I had better in Sacramento/Roseville for way cheaper. I had more elegant, delicious, and satisfying omakase in San Diego, New York, Shanghai....you name it. For the price (even adjusted for the Maui premium) and the capability of the owners, I truly believe they could do better. Sending love!

Musubi - didn't have spam but pork rolled over the rice with a teriyaki glaze. One of the best variations I've had!! The kids couldn't get enough of it. Kamameshi - slow cooked rice casserole (like Chinese clay pot rice). Infused the rice with an amazing smoky flavor. I had octopus for protein which I enjoyed but my kids weren't able to appreciate it (they like it grilled). Miso butter fish - classic black cod dish. Did not disappoint!

They also didn't have another item we wanted most likely because it was a couple hours before closing, so it another disappointment but the food we did end up getting was still amazing.

We also got the miso butter cod fish and kimchi cucumber which were both great

Each roll was beautifully prepared--fresh, simple, and full of flavor. The space is small and intimate, with limited table and bar seating, making it best suited for couples or small groups rather than larger parties.

They have adapted the counter- service which is quite popular on Maui and when we arrived for breakfast in the line they announced that they have seats available at the bar so we took it. The bartender was friendly and accommodating. FOOD: We ordered the Light Kine and Big Kahuna Omelette for breakfast and the omelette was infused with a tasty fried rice which was very flavorful. For dinner We ordered I thought were short ribs but they were Kalbi ribs which was prepared delicious and savory We also had the crab cake and greens and poke bowl both fresh and healthy looking. Ambiance: Open setting with piped Music in the morning and live local hawaiian music in the evening. What a delightful Hawaiian experience to the "T" to start the vacation Highly recommended
