"Excellent quality sushi, however the menu is limited in options. If you are looking for standard sushi this is your place. If you are looking for a bit more variety and combinations go elsewhere."

"Kai Sushi is an excellent sushi restaurant. Sadly it is attached to a hotel lobby next to live music performers. The night we ate there, the music was not to our taste. Fortunately the high quality sushi cannot be harmed by music."

"Kai Sushi had been recommended as having the best sushi & sashimi on Maui. After going (twice!), I would revise that recommendation to say Kai Sushi ranks among the best sushi & sashimi restaurants anywhere in the US (including San Francisco, Los Angeles & New York). The menu of appetizers and special rolls was innovative, the presentation artful, and the serving sizes fit for a king."

"The food here is fresh and the service is very attentive. The Chef is very creative in his sushi presentation. Come enjoy the view of the ocean with Molokai in the background. You can't ask for a more beautiful setting."
