Wabisabi Soba & Sushi — Restaurant in Maui

If you are driving to Hana through Paia you may miss this restaurant that's located just past Paia town center on the left. I've been to Japan many times and this type of a sushi restaurant is a purists sushi fan restaurant, meaning they care about quality of fish and it does taste very good, a simple, basic menu but with very limited choices. This restaurant served us tap water with no filter, the noodle soup was cold and not that interesting of flavor, they had no miso soup, no avocado, no fancy rolls, and they dont ask you if you want more tea or ask if you enjoyed food, they had one dessert on the menu for lunch, I asked if I could see the dinner menu, but the waitress said it's the same. It's completely different from most Japanese restaurants. The atmosphere is unique with limited seating and with one big expensive looking table made from rare wood, so this I enjoyed the most. We live on Maui and often visit sushi restaurants, but unfortunately I wouldn't visit here again, the menu is way too limited and expensive, we spent $100.00 and left absolutely starving. But I wish them well and hope they succeed, I still give them five star for being different, but we suffered way too much from it's limitations, I would rather eat at Nuka and have a full experience of absolute delight, just...

I don’t like making poor (but honest) reviews but was disappointed and had high hopes for this place. Very limited lunch menu. The server did not bring the meals out together. They brought only one meal and it was awhile before the other meal was served. The prices are just too high for a bowl of noodles (similar to spaghetti) in a broth with a grocery store piece of tofu (the kind you buy frozen and just drop in the broth at home) slapped on top with half a teaspoon of green onions …Not much nutrition or quality ingredients for $19 USD. Really only worth $12 max. Also, take a look at the umbrella now verses in the photos online as it run down and shredded. The courtyard is pretty and the bathroom is nice but food was very low quality and ingredients ‘too budget’ for the price. The name is great and fitting but won’t come back again. Also, no parking and nearby...

This place has a very noce atmosphere and I was very excited to go there but in the end got very disappointed. The service was very slow, with a lot of wait within one plate and the other and the person who was taking order was also preparing the sushi and taking cash from people. The portion were small and the price absolutely exaggerated for the amount of food they give you. The only reasonable portion I got was the sashimi maybe. There is no choice for sushi, only sashimi and you can take only the mixed place or the temaki. No rolls no nigiri, if someone goes for sushi here will get disappointed. I have looked at the picture of other people and saw much more stuff of the one I have seen on the menu once there. Once out we were more hungry than when we got there. In picture miso eggplant, even here I was expecting something more… I would not...
