The 19 Best Maui Restaurants for Poke, Homemade Desserts, and More | Condé Nast Traveler
"Haiku is a sleepy North Shore town often passed over by tourists, but locals from all ends of the island will make the trek for a taste of Nuka’s seriously fresh sushi and izakaya-style eats. Start your meal with small plates like the truffle edamame or tofu drenched in dashi broth; from there, you can dive into a filling rice bowl made with shaved cabbage, avocado, carrots, basil and mint and topped with your choice of protein, or order a specialty roll made with freshly-caught fish. Then there's the Kushiyaki grilled skewers; miso butterfish and sesame chicken wings round things out. Clever, on-trend cocktails change daily and are more in line with what you’d find at a hotel bar—jazzed up tequila and vodka drinks, a few with a Japanese twist—but the sake selections are carefully consideredm and Japanese beers make for great pairing options as well." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham
