Meh. Garlic noodles were cold and just didn’t taste fresh. Fried rice was okay… “made to order” I guess means that everything is just mixed together after it’s cooked. The beef filet was pretty plain with avg BBQ sauce, which seemed weird. I expected a better sauce. Bao buns were very good.
After our appetizer, it took at least 30 mins to get our main dishes. Everyone around us ate and finished. And 2 of our 3 dishes came out cold.
We had a reservation right at opening and still had to wait 10+ mins to be seated.

Delicious all around! I wanted to try everything on the menu, it was impossible to decide! The bao buns and calamari were incredible starters, and the shaking beef noodles were a delicious entree as well, though somewhat overpriced, but it’s what you can expect in Kaanapali. The location and view from the restaurant were amazing. Service was kind and water was constantly refilled! Would certainly return if back in the area!

Terrific quality all around with many extra mahalos to Yukako. Everything we had was excellent and the unagi nigiri was especially delicious… Cajun Hamachi was perfectly spiced and seared… might be my new favorite restaurant on Maui – please open another one on North shore!!

I’ve been to Japengo four times already, and I finally had to leave a review because this is truly my favorite restaurant in Maui. Their sashimi is so fresh every single time if you love sashimi, you have to try the Moriawase Raijin. The udon is also a must, and the Kāʻanapali Roll is bomb, one of my favorites.
The only thing I wish is that the curry had a little more sauce, but other than that everything was amazing. And they even surprised my boyfriend with a free crème brûlée for his birthday, which was such a sweet touch.
Highly recommend this place if you’re in Maui!

The food was pretty good!!! The calamari was great!!! The fried rice could’ve been a bit better. A bit too salty! Overall though! Great food!! And loved the atmosphere and our waiter was amazing!!!

Japengo Maui is the kind of place that makes you understand why people come to Hawaii and immediately start speaking in sunsets. As we roll into Christmas week, do yourself a favor and make a reservation—this place gets busy for a reason. You’re rewarded with a killer view as the sun drops behind Lānaʻi, and it’s basically dinner-and-a-show… just know that if you choose to sit outside, Maui may casually remind you who’s boss with a breezy little gust that turns napkins into kites.
Let’s start strong: the Korean Seafood Pancake. Crispy, packed with seafood, and ridiculously flavorful. It comes quartered, which feels generous—until the first bite. If your party is more than two people, consider ordering a second one preemptively, because “sharing” becomes a myth real fast.
Next up, the ever-faithful Spicy Edamame. Great flavor, but a fair warning: the chili oil makes it a little messy, like your snack is trying to turn into a slip-and-slide. Still worth it.
We tried the Blackened Tuna Roll—beautiful presentation, solid execution, but for us it landed in the “good, not life-changing” category. If you’re used to excellent sushi (NYC-area standards), it’s more “respectable” than “remarkable.” Not bad at all—just didn’t steal the spotlight.
A quick public service announcement: the Hamachi Collar Bone is one of their most popular dishes and it sells out early. We showed up around 6:30pm and it was already gone. If you’re set on it, aim for 5:30pm and move with purpose.
Now—quietly, unexpectedly—the Garlic Noodles. This side dish goes with just about everything and sneaks up on you like a woman you didn’t know you needed in your life. One minute you’re “just trying a bite,” and the next you’re guarding the bowl like it’s your retirement fund. They were so good we genuinely considered ordering a second round. That’s how dangerous they are.
The Garlic Shrimp came through in a big way—good-sized shrimp with a buttery garlic flavor that stayed balanced instead of drowning everything in grease. And then there was the ribeye, cooked perfectly medium, great portion, and loaded with flavor thanks to that shiitake mushroom sauce. Steak plus sunset plus competent cooking is a pretty undefeated combo.
And dessert? The Kā‘anapali Pie is the mic drop: brownie crust, banana, macadamia nut ice cream, whipped cream, caramel, chocolate… basically a dessert that shows up wearing a crown and doesn’t apologize for it. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Bottom line: great meal, great service, and a view that does half the flirting for you. Reservations recommended—especially this time of year.

My absolute favorite place on Maui now! I loved everything about it. The spectacular views, the ambiance, service, and great food!!
We had the chefs special roll and the fuju (sp) roll. I had a chirashi bowl, he had roasted pork with kimchi mashed potatoes- YUM!!
Excellent service, very friendly!

We went to Japengo for our 4th wedding anniversary and they did not disappoint.
They have a great outdoor seating balcony with great views. The interior deco is like a modern Asian / Japanese look that was cool.
Tip* – you can just pull up to the front valet area and let them know you are there for reservations at Japengo and they will provide free parking for you. (Get your ticket validated at the restaurant) and don’t forget to tip your valet!
We had the chicken and the steak.
The steak was the best steak on our entire visit. Super moist and tender. Perfect.
The jadori chicken was tasty, nothing wrong with it but it didn’t impress. We also got the mango prawn salad which could have been more / better.
Clams were good in a white wine garlicky sauce – yum. I was eating this sauce with my spoon at the end. Many dishes were highlighting the shiitake mushrooms and the mushroom side dish was also good.
Service was good, a little slow. We were done with apps and plates taken and waited another 35 minutes for our main course to come out. Seemed a bit long.
We got an amazing dessert there that we think was the best one out of the 4-5 we had around Maui during our stay. It was a layered browny / chocolate cake and ice cream dish and it was very tasty.
We would definitely go back and try more of their dishes. We were bummed we didn’t try the fish instead of the chicken. Next time!

Great quality sushi, service and ambiance! We had the chef’s special, a bottle of sake and a few other pieces of nigiri. I’d definitely go back!

Had an incredible omikase dinner created by my dear friend and master chef Masa at japengo last night! What an experience! Began with an amuse bouche of truffle vichysoisse with sea urchin. Next was an appetizer plate with ocotpus, blue fin , salmon belly, monkfish liver, and an oyster. Followed by blue fin tuna toro and hamachi sashimi, followed by a beautiful chowanmushi with scallops and prawns and uni. Then lobster with pohole ferns. Next was butterfish with egg omelet. Then the nigiri began! First a lightly torched beautiful piece of wagyu beef with sea urchin. Then blue fin toro and big eye tuna, then clam and golden eye snapper lightly torched, then a raw sweet amoebi shrimp. Next was a negitoro hand roll and to finish a cleansing bowl of clam miso soup. The grand finale was a beautiful dessert plate with a piece of kaanapali pie which was a chocolate Mac nut ice cream pie, a mango cheesecake, a matcha cookie and a fudge pie! Masa is an incredible talented artist . I have known him for 17 years since he first began at Sansei, and this special dinner is not to be missed!
