Miyako Sushi is definitely your best bet if you are looking for the infamous Hawaii "maki" style of sushi roll (vinegar rice, red and/or green food-colored tuna, and carrots wrapped in nori,) or the cone sushi (vinegar rice, and carrots wrapped in abruage, which is fried tofu, instead of nori.) Why is it your best bet? It's pretty much your only choice if you need a good amount of it, say for a party, as many places do sell this but probably not in the quantity required.
ATMOSPHERE: The tiny take-out only shop is located in the Millyard industrial area of Wailuku. The shop is jam-packed with odds and ends as well as some baked goods.
FOOD: We ordered 8 rolls of maki and 12 cone sushi. A bit pricey but the quality and taste are top notch.
Inari Spam Musubi This version of the infamous Hawaii staple uses sushi rice instead of plain white rice, which is vinegary, a tad sweet, and has finely chopped carrots mixed in. Being a raw carrot hater, even I couldn't detect them. The strong flavor of the rice definitely overpowers the flavor of the Spam. Some may like it, but I'd never eat it again. Plain rice all the way! To be fair, the Spam was fried nice and crispy, and the nori wasn't soggy due to the musubi being wrapped in wax paper as opposed to plastic wrap.
TIP: Cash and personal check only.
OVERALL: 3.5 stars. I would've given them 4 but we had to run to the bank to grab cash since they don't accept...
