About Umi Sushi Maui Happy Hour
Umi Sushi Maui has brought a vibrant, high-energy dose of creative Japanese cuisine to Central Maui, quickly establishing itself as a favorite gathering spot in Wailuku. Founded by Chef Jayse Sato, this local gem stands out for its bold, imaginative approach to traditional flavors. The atmosphere is polished and modern yet entirely unpretentious, making it the perfect neighborhood joint where diners gather to enjoy exceptionally fresh ingredients in a warm, welcoming setting.
The culinary program is famous for pushing boundaries with its specialty sushi rolls and locally-inspired dishes. Guests consistently rave about creative items like the signature Umi Roll, which features unique combinations and rich, savory sauces. For those wanting to venture beyond raw fish, the kitchen turns out popular hot comfort foods like their flavor-packed bao buns and decadent appetizers that perfectly showcase the kitchen’s culinary range.
One of the most unique elements of the dining experience here is the restaurant’s welcoming bring-your-own-bottle policy. This allows visitors to pair their own favorite sake, beer, or wine with their custom sushi spreads, making an evening out feel personalized and highly relaxed.
The restaurant is conveniently located at 1440 Lower Main Street in Wailuku, making it an excellent alternative to the busier tourist districts on the coast. Its central location puts it just a short drive from historic Downtown Wailuku and the lush, scenic landscapes of the Iao Valley State Monument. It is also an ideal dining stop for travelers heading toward the airport or those spending the day exploring the local boutiques, coffee shops, and cultural sites of Central Maui.
Beyond the exceptional food, Umi Sushi Maui is highly regarded for its deep connection to the local community and the intimate, family-run feel of the dining room. Because the restaurant prioritizes top-tier freshness and makes everything to order, popular fish selections and specialty rolls are known to sell out fast during peak dinner hours. It remains a must-visit destination that delivers an authentic, flavor-packed taste of Maui’s modern food scene.
Reviews from Umi Sushi Maui Patrons
“Gotta love the best sushi on maui for sure! Plus y=the owner is my daughter’s classmate!”
Delamarie R., July 2026
“Hands down the best sushi that I have ever had! What an awesome experience. I’ll be going again before I leave the island”
Jonathan M., July 2026
“Real sushi. No corners cut. Worth every penny. Awesome local experience with great staff.”
Dennis D., November 2023
“We were at a private function for family and friends. Perfect venue for us in Central Maui. Our friend did the Hawaiian blessing of the food and friends. We had the food as buffet style and it was delicious. Larry Endrina was the entertainment.
He choose to sing and play the perfect selection of Hawaiian songs for our age group and gathering. There is street parking, but read the sign carefully. This restaurant is tucked away and residents favorites. They did a great event for us and we are looking forward to going back and ordering from their regular menu. Easy to get to from Kihei, Wailea or Maalaea. 🌺”

“I’ve been to both their food truck and their restaurant many times, and they always hit it out of the park. I always get the order of truffle fries, plus the Umi Roll, and once in a while I’ll get the soft shelled crab bao bun. They also change their desserts over the years for the restaurant location, and a while back I got one of their macaron desserts, it was super good!
Great place to go with friends and family. Staff are super nice and it’s always great to support local.”
Miguel M., October 2023
“Best Ramen on Maui. Mahalo Umi for always taking care of my family.”
Kalehua M., October 2023
“Ramen is bomb.”
Steven L., September 2023
“The restaurant is an amazing find. The chef and owner (Jayse) served an absolutely out of this world 20-course omakase, which is an annual tradition for Christmas. Service was impeccable and the atmosphere welcoming and relaxing. Can’t wait to come back.”
Vladimir K., January 2023
