Very nice local restaurant that does well with Japanese food. Korean dishes were subpar and needs more work. Great friendly staff who are helpful and can walk you through the menu. Japanese food undertone throughout all the dishes.

Used to be a big menu but it slimmed down with each visit. The prices were a little higher than you’d expect for a tucked away place in Wailuku but the portions usually made up for it. Japanese, Korean, Chinese dishes, lots of family-style and also some sushi. Some fusion stuff too but I don’t mess with that stuff enough to have an opinion.
To my knowledge, this was the only place to get a bibimbap in a hotpot and once that was gone, we were kind of out, being that it was the main draw for us. The staff was friendly and was also a part of the appeal of going there. We would like to go back but we really struggled with what to order the last time and it had been so trimmed down that it got to a point where it became kind of generic: meaning, the menu items were run-of-the-mill plates you can find just about anywhere else.
The atmosphere was usually not too loud and it was BYOB for a time, not sure what it is these days – we haven’t been in many months but it was a great haunt while it lasted for us.
It seemed like they aggressively cut menu items (i don’t see any new menu photos in the past 12 months) and take note of some of the menu photos — you’ll notice things are crossed out — i recall even more things crossed out the last time we went. It was almost like reading a redacted, top secret document on some pages. Not casting blame, but it was a disappointment for us who used to have top secret clearance and saw the full menu.
It’s a bummer because we’d really like to see them succeed but it was kind of clear there was a decision from the top to ruthelessly cut costs and raise prices, which… i get everyone had to do these past couple of years and it would have been fine; we would have rolled with the punches but it lost some uniqueness and charm. I’m not surprised to see others posting how this place has gone downhill from where it used to be. Doesn’t mean the food is bad, but it was just… “more” once upon a time. It was a great haunt, and I’d still say its worth a try to anyone who hasn’t been and if you happen to find something you like, go back and get it as often as you can because you don’t know if that’ll be next to be Sharpie’d out of existence by your next visit.

Maui World Travelers
Opened in 2017, Miko’s Cuisine took over the former Asian Star spot in the Millyard industrial area.
ATMOSPHERE:
They’ve done a much needed interior refreshening since taking over. Gone are the dreary white walls and tacky decor. Welcomed are warm, inviting colors and a bigger population of dining homo erectus, giving the place life again. Unfortunately (IMO), they offer karaoke during dining hours which was the only negative thing as it’s super annoying. To make matters worse, the person attempting to sing refused to standup and sing so the microphone kept making that obnoxious feedback noise which he seemed to enjoy and kept on doing it. Come on!?
MENU:
Mixed cuisine of apps, salads, sushi, local Hawaii fare, ramen, Korean dishes, Chinese dishes. Currently, only items highlighted with pen marks are available to order.
FOOD:
Banchan
These were on the house. Six small plates came neatly presented in the middle of our table. We received some kind of green vegetable that tasted like blanched broccolini done in sesame oil and sprinkled with cheese (?), two types of kim chee that looked spicy but were not, a savory green ocean salad-like veggie, chewy kim chee squid cut into sticks and my least favorite which were uncut kim chee-flavored green onions.
Gyoza
About eight pieces came on the plate, all perfectly deep fried and stuffed full with a pork mixture. The dipping sauce was really good which was a soy-based sauce with chili notes but not spicy. Highly recommended!
Rainbow Roll
My friend loves sushi so this was his order. This is basically a California roll but topped with fresh fish which were salmon, ahi and hamachi. He said it was “okay” so I guess it’s not the best he’s had.
Kim Chee Pancake
The owner of Miko’s knew one of my friends so this was on the house. I didn’t see it listed on the menu but I’m sure they can make it any time. From how it was presented, I think they drizzle the kim chee pieces in actual pancake batter then throw it on the griddle, similar to a Japanese okonomiyaki. The taste was really good with savory notes while the bits of pancake batter added texture and held everything together.
Spicy Pork Ribs
About eight or so spare ribs came sitting atop a bed of raw onions. I’m not a huge rib fan but I really liked it. The flavor was mildly sweet and salty, but there was no spice to them at all. A bit pricey for the portion size.
Nabeyaki Udon
If you’ve read my reviews, you’ll know that I am a total ramen/udon/noodle fanatic, so naturally I had to try their version. Instead of a traditional cast iron pot, they used a modern slate-colored steel pot that almost looked like plastic. It arrived hot but not searing like you’d get at Ichiban Kahului or Archie’s. The broth was very mild, more savory with a hint of sweet. I added a swish of shoyu which helped a little, but didn’t wow me at all. Toppings were a sunny side-up egg, shrimp tempura and an overkill of white onions. Meh.

If you like spice or a kick, this is for you! It’s like a seafood noodle soup with a spicy red broth, chocked full of seafood like shrimp and mussels. It’s a big bowl good enough for a table to share as an app.
DESSERT:
Fresh Orange & Pineapple
Someone here has a clever hand at carving! The orange was carved into a panda bear with its belly holding the hollowed out fruit, neatly diced and ready to be picked up via toothpicks. A sliver of pineapple was carved into what I believe was a bird with the pineapple top resembling tail feathers. I didn’t see this on the menu but we received it at the end of our meal. Very unique!
SERVICE:
All the servers were helping each other out, so we had excellent service and were checked up on A LOT. If you have a birthday, they crank up the karaoke system, the servers come to your table, one with tambourine in-hand and serenade you.
OVERALL:
Great addition to the dead dining scene that is Wailuku town. Good food, great service. I will be back to try more!

The quality of the food has gone downhill. Over the years the food tastes less like Korean and more fusion. The spicy chicken tasted like they stir fried the meat and sprinkled some pepper flakes on top. The flavor of the meat was very bland. There was way too much meat in the kimchee soup, the flavor of the pork overpowered the kimchee and the broth was a little too oily for my taste. Not like any kimchee soup I remember. The banchan was old and tasted like it needed to be thrown out. We hardly ate any of the chicken and maybe half of the kimchee soup. We were highly disappointed, probably won’t return.

Old school venue with lots of history. A fusion of sorts, Korea meets Kyoto via Shenzhen. We had a Korean bbq dish and a type of awesome raw fish salad that was perfectly balanced.

Lots of different options, and the longest happy birthday song on the karaoke machine. Great portion sizes and reasonable pricing.

This is a little hole in the wall and its incredible. The portions are huge we ordered the appetizers different kimchee dishes, stuffed mushrooms it was different and I really couldn’t see any mushroom in it but wow it was tasty. Kal bi very tender slices of beef and korean flavor, Soft crab tempura was deep fried and very good eats,beef broccoli meat was tender and the broccoli was perfectly cooked the sauce compliment the dish bringing the perfect balance, sweet & sour chicken w/green & red bell peppers top off with pineapple crispy costed chicken tender strips with a light sweetness to the sauce, the Love boat it had Californian roll, two deep fried dumplings, shaved ginger & wasabi, teriyaki meat, teriyaki chicken, kal bi beef ribs, salmon & shrimp tempura. Garlic fried rice was the last dish. Yes it was alot of food. Amazing food!!!!

When I saw 4.4 stars and read some of the reviews, I really thought it was a good pick.
But overall we’ve been pretty disappointed.
First impression, very subjective, the music is terrible. It’s asian karaoke running constantly. I’d like to share a sample here but I can’t. It’s some kind of cheap asian dance music.
Then what kind of asian restaurant has ketchup on its table?!
The menu is immense. Like a 100 items. Which is a proof they don’t cook much on site. Which cuisine can manage to cook that many dishes?
We both took a salad for starters (they could have told us there was already some salad served with our main plate). My wife was served 10 minutes before me. Sure her salad was simpler to prepare, but I had to watch her eat. I don’t understand how it’s difficult to serve all guests from a table at the same time. But the salads were ok.
The icing on the cake was the beef teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. The beef was of mediocre quality. The chicken was barely better. The teriyaki sauce was some kind of paste squeezed out of a tube on top of the meat. Disgusting for me.
The bottom line is that if you have to come here for whatever reason, get sushis, they’re hard to get wrong.
Despite all of this, I would have given 2 stars. But the tip is included in the bill (18%) but the waitress didn’t tell us despite knowing we were tourists (we told her) and brought us the ticket with a field for how much tip I wanted to give…

Fantastic food, with large portions, only our second time at Miko’s, but we were pretty happy and amazed by their portion size. I will be back because we need to try more of their food. We were craving Sushi and arrived approx 3 pm; unfortunately, we were told the Sushi Chef was taking a break, so no sushi until 4 pm. We just ordered off their menu, and as expected, we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. Win-win, but we will be back.
