With so few places to eat in the neighborhood and not many fine dining sushi places on island this places has a following for the locals. Therefore long waits for a table.

read moreNuka, a hidden gem in Maui, offers an incredible dining experience with amazing sushi and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Customers rave about the fresh and flavorful dishes, such as the Nuka Bowl with Salmon and the miso butterfish. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff who clearly love what they do. The extensive sushi menu and well-crafted cocktails make for a complete dining experience. While the prices can be a bit high, the quality of the food and service make it all worth it. Nuka is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious sushi in Maui, and it's a place that you'll want to return to time and time again.

read moreAfter driving for sometime we stumbled across this place We liked the feel of this place and decided this is where we wanted to eat.
Called by locals "upcountry" - it is past the town of Paia on the road to Hana.
Oh, Nuka Such good Japanese food but so far away from town Luckily my gang and I will drive any where for delicious fare.
