The 25 Best Maui Restaurants, According to a Local Expert | Eater

"At this stylish sushi bar at the far end of the Wailea Gateway Center, the nigiri is flawless, paired with sea urchin and oyster shooters, and the scallops in the baked California roll melt on your tongue. Reserve a table during happy hour (3 to 5 p.m. daily) for generously discounted small plates of rock shrimp tempura and salmon karaage. Big plates are worth the splurge, too. Juicy lamb chops rubbed with aji panca have just a hint of heat, stacked on a smear of miso. The ube pot de crème is an unexpected delight. Know before you go: The restaurant is named for its executive chef JR Oao and pronounced “wow,” an apt response to the dishes served here on custom ceramics." - Shannon Wianecki
