If you’re in between Hachi and any where else pick Hachi — I can guarantee you won’t regret it. I booked Hachi’s omakase for my husbands 32 birthday and it was easily his best birthday dinner yet. BYOB so we grabbed Sake at a nearby shop and shared with the chef and the other omakase guests. It was a fantastic time. Each dish was unique and expertly crafted. Chef put time and dedication into this menu and you could tell. He gave us a short description of each dish and I’m sad I didn’t write each down. Everything was super fresh. The fish basically melted in my mouth. 10/10 recommend. I’d come back here every day if I could. (I definitely forgot to take a pic of the steak sashimi..)

Excellent omakase experience. Very generous portions of fish prepared in interesting ways that did a great job of highlighting the fish. My new favorite meal on Maui. Will definitely come back next time we are here.

tl;dr – don’t think twice and make a reservation here ASAP for the best omakase. You will not be disappointed!
We had one of the most incredible omakase experiences here, and we’ve had omakase around the world, including in Japan and at Michelin-starred spots. This experience was up there with the best.
The restaurant is unassuming, in a strip mall, with plenty of parking available. From the moment we walked in, the service was friendly, down-to-earth, and attentive. The inside is cozy, with a few tables up front and some counter seating at the bar. Since it’s BYOB, we brought a bottle of Far Niente Chardonnay, which was promptly placed in an ice bucket. FYI – there’s a store next door that sells beer, wine and sake.
You can order a la carte, but we opted to do the omakase, and Chef Misao shared that we would be having over twenty courses. We ended up having 24 courses, including dessert and a palate cleanser, and every single one was spectacular. It’s hard to pick favorites, but some standouts included the cherry-smoked hamachi, the chawanmushi, uni, chutoro hand roll, otoro (topped with caviar and gold leaf), Japanese beef (cooked via sous-vide for 72 hours), and a sublime black sesame ice cream.
We were stuffed at the end of service. It is evident that Chef Misao cares deeply about serving high-quality fish – most, if not all, were flown in from Japan, and the preparation was unique and truly enhanced the flavor of the fish. The soy sauce was made in house, and the wasabi was ground fresh from the root.
For the amount and quality of food we got, the price was extremely reasonable – $185/pp. We would come back to Maui just to eat here again. It was truly one of the best meals we’ve had. Thank you, Chefs Misao and Buddha, for an incredible dining experience!

The cutest, most charming, traditional authentic Japanese sushi restaurant on Maui! The food was amazing! Every bite was melt in your mouth kind of tasty. The menu is impressively curated with an array of unique fish and flavors. They really know how to complement the types of fish and ingredients in each roll.
The space is quaint, atmosphere is intimate and reminds me of the small sushi spots in Japan. Staff were super friendly upon entering and the owner even came to our table to explain the types of fish and how they were prepared. We had the blue fin maki, red dragon maki, and chili machi trout maki rolls. They were ALL fantastic!
Definitely recommend this spot for a date night or just to satisfy your sushi craving. As locals, this just might be the spot we’re going to visit regularly. Oishi!

We love OAO in Wailea, couldn’t wait to have Omakase at their new restaurant Hachi OAO in Kihei. Went there last night, it was one of the best meals I ever had – I’m super picky and normally don’t give compliments like that. The quality of the food, the sushi rice melted in my mouth, loved loved every dish, and ended with the homemade sesame ice cream. Already made another reservation.

My girlfriend and I heard good things about Hachi by Oao. We had to check it out ourselves and decided to do the Japanese 18 course Omakase. The chef was really knowledgeable of what he was doing, and explained every fish and where it came from. Nice presentation on all of the dish. Fish were fresh and so good. Highly recommended and we can’t wait to go back again. 5⭐️ out 5

First japanese omakase in Maui! The owner and the chef were very friendly and their service was excellent. Its one of the best omakase experience I’ve ever had. They all serve fish from japan and the quality of each course was outstanding. 18 course omakase for $150 is definitely worth a price! The place and the ambiance was amazing! I will highly recommend this place if you want a quality sushi and a unique dine in experience! If I could give a 10 stars I would!
