    Awsome, awesome, awesome place! The hostess at the front door thanked us for coming and seated us right away. Smallish place but decorated very well. Our server had water at our table immediately and was very attentive. We ordered the steak bites, which may seem odd when dining at a sushi restaurant but wow, were they awesome! Kind of set the tone for the rest of the meal. We had some regular rolls to start, spicy tuna and California roll for instance, but then we had the Hamachi Jalapeño and the Red Dragon Maki specialty rolls which were superb. The first roll came out really fast, they had three sushi chefs working instead of just one or two. They timed the service extremely well and brought out different plates as we finished the previous one, which I like. The only knocks on the restaurant is that it was pretty noisy and it is expensive. But, it is Maui and you expect a good sushi restaurant to be expensive. Definitely going back and I would highly recommend the restaurant.
