Koiso Sushi Bar

!!!!!BOOK A MONTH IN ADVANCE!!!!! We were hoping to get even take out as we heard so much about this place. We love locals telling us the secret places, and this place is no secret, but we never got to eat their food :(. I'm giving it a 5 star because I believe the number of people, but no one tells you to do it so far in advance! Called to get takeout a week out, and they said their takeout was pushed out two weeks, and their dine-in was a month! (Yes, they say they have like only 8 tables, but still! Man. I'm a planner, so I wish I had seen this sooner, so I hope this helps someone else who is a foodie)

Koiso is hands down the sushi spot you can't miss in Maui! 🍣 Having explored sushi joints worldwide, I must say Koiso takes the crown. It's not just a sushi restaurant; it's a sushi haven. The moment I sank my teeth into their Omakase, my taste buds were in heaven. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth, and every bite was an adventure. Seriously, I've been to Japan, and this was on par, if not better, than the Tokyo sushi I savored. The quality of their fish is out of this world; it's like they have a direct line to the ocean. The freshness is unmatched. Every piece was meticulously prepared, and the presentation was art on a plate. The staff? Friendly and accommodating, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or a newbie, Koiso will blow your mind. So, don't leave Maui without treating yourself to the best sushi on the island. Koiso, you've earned a special place in my heart (and stomach)! ❤️🍣

Hands down THE BEST Sushi! The Chef is amazing and the service team is as kind and welcoming as can be. We were lucky to get a last minute reservation for 2. Book early. Just plan on coming here and start calling weeks in advance. To the Chef, THANK YOU for sharing your story with my wife and I. And thank you for allowing us to share our story with you and how your sushi has kept us focused for 10 years to get back to Maui to enjoy it! lol

The best sushi I have had in Maui. This sushi is one of the top I’ve had anywhere. I’ve been to Japan before and this experience was better than my Tokyo sushi I had while traveling. It is a small environment which means a well thought out and planned reservation is necessary but it is worth it. Order the omikase and let the sushi chef choose your meal and you won’t be disappointed.

April 2023 - got an impalas e platter which was just wonderful! Best sushi ever, so thoughtful. I love uni and it was served with salmon eggs which was delectable. We are getting it a second time in a week. Spicy tuna and the salmon avocado rolls welders great too. The miso soup tastes great, unsure if it’s worth 7 for a tiny serving. June 2022 - We got takeouts last year and we’re lucky to get it twice. Best meal we had, tho ye even sell beer if you want it but it was quite expensive. Can’t wait to return and get some more. Keep up the amazing work and delicious food

Our last day on me and my husband’s honeymoon and nothing suited it better than this amazing dinner at Koiso Sushi Bar. We were extremely lucky to get reservations last minute as they are usually booked weeks in advanced. From the moment we were seated to when we left it was nothing short of an amazing experience as well as what I would say the best sushi I have ever had. It was our first time trying chef’s choice “Omakase” and it is definitely the way to do it. The fish melts in your mouth and tastes extremely fresh. Each piece you can tell is made with attention to detail and care. If you can, make sure to make this a stop on your trip to Maui.

Every experience sushi 🍣 experience at Koiso is amazing. Hiro is such a talented sushi 🍱 chef all his creations are artful. Our multi generation Maui real estate team loves eating here together. It’s always the best place to bring family, friends and clients. We always order Hiro’s Omakase where he chooses the freshest fish for sushi and sashimi. Koiso is very poplar with locals and visitors. It’s highly recommended to make reservations WAY in advance, as there are no walk ins. Everyone is so friendly at Koiso and The SaylesTeam always feels at home.

As a chef, the sushi here was amazing. You could taste the cut on the fish in your mouth it was that good. The experience was wonderful the service was attentive and polite but the technique and the quality of the chef was at a world class level. I would suggest to bring two people and order the entire menu.

Koiso was one of the highlights of my trip to Hawaii and was so good that I went twice during my stay! Keep in mind, it is RESERVATION ONLY, so call in advance to make sure you can go. The establishment only seats maybe 15-16 people at any one time, but it truly makes for a genuine and one-of-a-kind experience. Watching the owner make sushi right in front of you is quite hypnotic, and the quality of fish you’re getting is well worth the price. Really, really enjoyed this place!

Best meal on Maui. Maybe best sushi I’ve ever had. Super fresh. Everything is prepared with care. Excellent service. Called a day ahead and got a reservation due to a cancellation, which is lucky! Definitely worth calling to get in for this meal. We felt the prices were really reasonable for the quality.
