Nice little spot upcountry. Crab ragoon roll had too much cream cheese for my tastes. Over powered the rest of the flavors. Everything else was good.

This place is fantastic! Probably one of the best spicy tuna rolls I have ever tasted, and if the sushi isn't enough for you be sure to try the pineapple upside down cake with homemade ginger ice cream!!

Stopped in late and were seated right away! Our waiter was quick to take our order. We got the rainbow roll and the crunchy spicy tuna which we both very good! We also order the haleakala but weren’t a big fan of it. Three rolls and our total was around 50
