Miso Phat Sushi

The sushi was absolutley incredible! Our waiter was awesome as well. We ate the Miso Phat Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and our waiter takes us onto the TNT Roll and it was so worth it. If you like spicy have then add jalapeño to it. We also ordered the Baked Dynamite Roll and my mother in-law loved it. Looking forward to the new location opening up. There will be a lot more seating.

Definitely one of our favorite meals during our trip to Maui! Everything was so yummy. The wait staff was so kind and service was great. The TNT roll and Alaskan roll were our favorite. House made ice cream was also delicious! Highly recommend!

Went here at 3pm for Happy Hour. Food is excellent & even better for 15% off for Happy Hour. Not too many at that time. Greg our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu favorites. Their new restaurant will be opening soon just down the street and it will be 4 times bigger.

Miso phat after eating here. All the rolls we ordered were great and we're all a pretty decent size. Order featured roll and you won't be disappointed.

What a beautiful, intimate sushi spot! Everything was amazing, from the service to the fresh ingredients used. We stopped here for a quick lunch, we signed up for the waitlist online just incase but there was no wait when we arrived. Outstanding experience, this is a must if you're in Maui!

The food here was fantastic. All of the specialty rolls we tried were incredible. The TNT roll had so much poke on top it was falling off. It is difficult to tell you if the 007 or the Local was our favorite because we enjoyed both so much. The baked Rockin roll was our least favorite, although the scallop on top was excellent. The only thing I wouldn't get again is their miso soup as the tofu was incredibly bland as if they diced it up and tossed it in at the end instead of cooking it in the broth. The staff were also great, there when you needed them and having a good sense of humor. Highly recommend this restaurant.

WOW! I'm so happy we stopped for lunch. The name caught my attention, and the food was awesome. I had the Joy Rol which had a bit of heat, and I had some sushi made with scallops. The scallops were like butter.

Best sushis of my life! Service 5 stars, good selection of local beers and best in class Japanese food inside!

Food was awesome. TNT was the favorite. The local roll was also awesome. Nico helped us pick all the good rolls. We came right when it opened at 11:30 and got right in. Weso Happy!

Located in a small strip mall. We went early and were seated at the bar. It was fun to talk to a few locals while eating. I love you can bring your own alcohol and there is no fee. Something you have to try, the Miso Butter Fish! It was one of my favorite dishes of the trip. Flavors of miso, and teriyaki. The fish was cooked perfectly. The waitress said it was marinated for 24 hours. So Good! We will be back! Aloha!

We've been hearing so much about this place from our coworkers and recommendations from people.. and luckily we came during happy hour so everything was 15% off. There are bar seating and a couple of tables. The inside of the restaurant is smaller than I expected. Our server was great - super friendly and informative about the menu. Mind you, their sushi rolls are indeed PHAT... we had to take some home. Great meal! Sushi Combo B: 12 pieces of chef's choice with either a California roll or spicy tuna. The nigiri is thick and huge. The California roll is mixed with 70-80% real snow crab, and the rest are imitation crab. It was super fresh (a little salty), and I wish they mixed this with mayo to balance out the flavor. I thought the nigiri was going to come with 12 different pieces but it was 6 sets of nigiri. I believe it had tuna, hamachi toro, sake, regular hamachi, ebi, and tako. Alaskan Roll - snow crab, salmon, lemon, avocado, ikura, tobiko, scallions, sesame seeds. Fresh and amazing. Uni - Creamy! 3 Pieces of tempura with rice - went well with the sushi rolls :)

Miso Phat Sushi in Maui is a must-visit for sushi lovers seeking fresh, high-quality seafood in a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. This locally loved spot delivers generously portioned rolls and expertly crafted nigiri that highlight the island's freshest catches. The Fish Lover roll was a standout, with buttery slices of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail, perfectly balanced with a hint of spice. The quality of the fish was exceptional--fresh and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Their poke bowl, another favorite, was packed with vibrant flavors and offered a true taste of Hawaii. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a relaxed vibe that makes you feel right at home. While the restaurant itself is cozy and often bustling, it only adds to the charm. Be prepared for a short wait during peak hours, but the food is well worth it. Miso Phat offers a perfect blend of local flavor and authentic sushi expertise, making it a standout dining option on Maui. Whether you're a sushi connoisseur or just dipping your toes into Japanese cuisine, this spot will leave you craving more.

Ordered sushi to go here. We didn't have a reservation and there was a wait but we weren't planning on staying there. Our parents wanted to eat elsewhere and we wanted to try this place, so we knew we'd be waiting on our food. There was a host outside actually because the place is so small and rather crowded I guess. The host was extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. This place is clearly popular and for good reason. It's in a strip mall with other shops. They had a menu posted outside which was nice so we just ordered outside and waited for our food. We saw many ppl come to dine in while we waited. The sushi was very good. Sorry no pictures since we waited quite a bit to eat it when we got home and were hungry!

I've eaten at the Miso Phat in Kahana, but not the one in Kihei, until now. Cafeteria like ambiance with minimal furniture, although the tables were block solid wood, unlike a cafeteria. Service is good, with meals arriving within 10 minutes of ordering. The $7 edamame was heated and salted, and delicious. The $15 unagi roll came apart with the seaweed paper, avocado and unagi going well together, without need for the heavy sauce. The $25 rainbow roll would have been plenty tasty with just the California roll portion, as the crab mixture was superbly flavorful. The $28 8 oz miso butterfish was butterly flavorful, with tender scales of black cod in a delicious sauce, along with a scoop of white rice and three asparagus. Split this with the wife. Great value compared to Roy's which cost twice as much for the same portion. Made sure I ate a huge lunch before coming to dinner at this place. Too much snacking beforehand will make me so fat.

Everyone loves this place. It was recommended. I do not recommend. The music was a vibe-- reggae and hip hop. But when you enter a sushi place and you smell fish-- you should walk out. The island closes around 9p so slim pickings. Server with the sleeve tat was great, helpful. I ordered the soft shell crab hand roll and I could taste the need to change the oil. Pet peeve of mine since I know it is a hassle (I was a short order cook) but it is at the essence of good fried food. Especially fish/sushi. I had the 007 and ended up picking off the shrimp on top. It was literally mushy no flavor. 'Fresh fish has no smell' but not only could I smell the space to know it's fishy... the different fish I had on the roll had no taste. How? I couldn't distinguish between the different fish even the texture was the same. Hawaii is expensive. Maui is expensive. I wasted $50 in sushi because it had no flavor and a fishy smelling sushi restaurant's fish should at least be distinguishable by texture.

We were staying across the street so this was so convenient. Like someone else said its kind of a dive bar type of place so dont bother getting dressed up or expect a nice ambiance its not that at all. But the food was good prices were fair. Seeing them cook food in toaster ovens was a surprise but our Miso Butterfish came out great. No liquor license so we brought in a bottle of nice wine they handed me the corkscrew to open it and brought us some wine glasses we served ourselves which I was fine with as there was no corkage fee (ie we spent $50 at Merrimans the night before) so that was cool. Would I go out of my way to come here? Not really but if staying in the area its a solid choice for a good casual meal. BTW its very very small so dont go during peak hours, we ate early and had no problem getting a seat at the bar.

Amazing sushi and the service was phenomenal. I'm so Phat I even bought the shirt Highly recommend

Delicious. Casual atmosphere. Made very fast in front of us. Parking lot right out front.

SUMMARY: High quality sushi, local gem in Kihei! Came here for dinner and was looking forward to having some amazing sushi in Maui. There are so many fresh fish and poke places that it could be easy to forget about actual sushi here. This place did not disappoint! We were able to join the waitlist on yelp ahead of time which I highly recommend to cut down on waiting your wait time. The interior is pretty small but feels cozy and intimate. Once we were seated we ordered food and it came out promptly. Here is what we ordered and some notes below BAKED MUSSELS: Without a doubt the BEST iteration of this dish that I have ever had. Imagine everything you like about baked mussels and turn it up 500%. The dish was balanced and exploding with flavor. I could eat 10 of these (and next time I might) ALASKAN ROLL: Layers and layers of flavor. The first bite is crab forward, then the flavor of the salmon coats your palate, then the citrus cuts through. Add some soy sauce with every bite and you've got yourself a delicacy of a roll. DELUXE SASHIMI: We opted for the deluxe sashimi platter to avoid filling up on rice. Turned out to be a good move since we were pretty full by the end of it, it is a lot of food. Chef's choice that night was snapper, tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. All delicious! Can't go wrong with any of them, but the snapper was particularly good that night. MISC: Refills of water and tea were frequent and we were checked up on often by our server and the sushi chef (we had bar seating). We felt very full at the end, but did not feel heavy. Testament to the quality of the fish. No room for dessert, all that we ordered was plenty for 2 people. Thank you Miso Phat Sushi!

I still stand on my opinion that this is the best place for sushi in Maui. Their presentation, portion, price, to service is always spot on. I've recommended this restaurant to so many of my friends. Every time my husband & I go here it is always a nice visit. The staff here are so friendly and the atmosphere is great. The fish is so fresh and satisfies my crave for sushi every time. Hands down to June who is one of the sushi chefs! All of our plates were beautifully presented.

Let's start by setting an expectation - this is not the usual sushi restaurant. This is more like a well loved back-alley divebar. We were surrounded by locals who clearly knew the staff and I suspect it's frequented less by tourists. Sitting at the bar allowed us to observe prep and completed dishes. They seemingly don't give a shrimps-ass about presentation but the portion sizes are significant. The fish is heaved into the counter display wrapped in paper towels and the 4 back to back toaster-ovens pumping out the admittedly delicious hot dishes is a unique approach. My napkin came preloaded with sticky rice, easy to ignore it if you set yourself into divebar mode replete with a plastic laminated menu. The names of the rolls are humorous and the TNT and especially TNA seemed to be very popular. If I were to stack Miso Phat up against the usual sushi places I like to frequent I'd give it 2 stars. But, this isn't one of those places and isn't trying to pretend to be. Thus, under it's own unique lens it's a pretty solid 4 stars. My criticism is mainly around the presentation of both the plates and display. Slow down just a hair and make it pretty... remember, we eat with our eyes first. Dive in at your own risk--you'll leave stuffed, satisfied, and wondering what just happened.

Always 5/5! Great sushi rolls and really cute smaller restaurant setting. Sometimes it gets busy and is hard to get a table. No ressies. But kind service and guaranteed great food. Today the host was so nice and had me come in even though I was inquiring about a table around their closing time (I didn't know don't hate me) and I was just so flabbergasted by the kindness tbh. I had the best miso soup and the classic Miso Phat Roll and my taste buds were blissfully spending time on cloud 9. Will be back soon for sure!

We realized on our most recent trip to Maui that we'd been stuffing our faces relentlessly with poke, but never sought out sushi. One quick Yelp search sent us to Miso Phat. Now, it'll be a mandatory stop for us on our trip to the islands! We ordered 4 rolls - all spectacular but my personal favorite was definitely the TNT roll. Small, local feel on the inside with great ambiance and friendly service. Doesn't get much better or fresher than this. We also enjoyed the spicy tuna, miso phat, and alaskan roll (can't recall the special name but it had the crab - so so good).

Super friendly and good quality sushi rolls. Family of 6 visiting from Miami & Orlando. Small place but the friendliness makes up for it. Only concern is that their restrooms are outside shared with strip shopping. But after you taste their food you won't mind. Their rolls are truly good and a great value, but you have to order the Miso Butterfish, truly Special!!! Good Sake as well. A place to return

A coworker recommended this spot, so of course, I had to try it! Planning to return upon my next trip to Maui! The staff is fun and they made great conversation. There's lots of parking in front and the interior gives off a chill vibe. Nice! * TNA ROLL ($25) Excellent! -Crab inside, seared Salmon outside, Scallop on top * MISO PHAT ROLL ($20) Excellent! -Spicy Ahi inside, Unagi on top * AMAEBI NIGIRI ($16) Great! * BAKED MUSSELS ($12) I took alternating bites of each roll and couldn't decide which one I liked better. Both are amazing! The unagi on the Miso Phat Roll is lightly charred which elevates the flavor. Pro tip: They offer 10% Kama'aina discount! Sweet! Also, always tip well when the food and service is stellar! Total for 2 people came out to around $85 (includes tax & tip). Well worth it!! :)

A Must-Visit in Maui! On my first trip to Maui, I decided to try Miso Phat after hearing such great things--and it did not disappoint! After a chilly outing on a catamaran (anything below 70°F feels freezing to me), I walked into the restaurant shivering. The servers immediately noticed and went above and beyond by offering me something warm to wear. Their hospitality was so genuine; I truly felt like I was among old friends or family. As for the food--wow! I sampled the Miso the Bomb, Miso Horny, Miso Happy, and Miso Polar, along with the baked mussels. Every single dish was exceptional, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Thank you, Miso Phat crew, for the incredible food and heartwarming service! I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Maui.

Service and food were great. Wait time was minimal. Give it a try and you won't be sorry.

We love this place! We called ahead and were able to get seated pretty quickly. The prices are a bit high, but quality is great. Sashimi was delicious, super fresh. The rolls were also very tasty and great variety. Ambiance is an intimate cute sushi spot. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also have some super cute merch that we bought! Cute t-shirts, hats.

Came in around 1230 on a Wednesday and there wasn't a line, so we were able to be seated immediately. The service was great! They're all so friendly and always checked in on us. 10/10! The food was amazing! We've been here before so we had to come back to get our Miso Phat fix. TNT roll: super fresh ahi poke on top and the crunch of the tempura sushi was on point! Spicy Tuna roll: typical spicy tuna sushi. Miso Butterfish with Side of Rice: it takes 20 mins for it to be ready but it's worth the wait. This was def the standout dish and the fish was just sooooo yummy! I wanted more of this! Overall, I highly recommend this sushi spot. Top tier service and high quality food!

I was so excited to try this place but it ended up being pretty underwhelming. The quality of most items were good but it just didn't live up to the hype. The biggest issue I have is that they drenched the Misophat Roll in oyster sauce when the menu description said it was unagi sauce. I don't think oyster sauce should ever go on sushi period as the flavor does not match at all. To make things worse they also drenched the fried shrimp heads in the same sauce plus a lot of other stuff that made it really soggy. The other things we ordered were good but not amazing, especially for the price. Another tip, the Yelp waitlist time estimate includes bar seating. So if you are expecting a table, it might take much longer like it did for us. Very limited table seating.

Friendly and fun atmosphere, very large rolls with super fresh ingredients! Highly recommend!

Expensive but awesome! Miso Phat Roll is amazing! Service was so friendly & sincere. If I lived in Maui, I would go broke coming here all the time.

What a delicious find! Miso Phat is a great affordable sushi option in the Kihei area. At peak hour there is quite a bit of a wait, but it moved faster than expected. I got the Miso Secretive and a peach highball and both were delicious. Only downside was the AC was far too strong, but the food was a 10/10!

We were in Maui for a day to do a mileage run to get my Hawaiian status. Spent the day driving around and eating our way through the valley isle. Located in Kihei, Miso Phat was recommended by our rental car agent and friend that lived on Maui. Reservations highly recommended or you can put your name on their online waitlist from their Yelp page. Servings are larger in size, sushi and sashimi cuts. Their spicy scallop hand roll was my favorite bite of the evening. Ample parking as they are located in a strip center. Service was great, attentive and friendly.

A must go to in Maui!! The sushi is fresh and delicious! The menu is hilarious and will give some good laughs! The staff is attentive and prompt!

Miso Phat is the best. From its hilarious name to excellent service, this is some of the best sushi I've had. Starting off with the Ahi Poke bowl, the quality of the ahi was stellar and the rice... do not get me started on how good that rice was. Every single roll was spectacular. I normally don't do baked rolls but the Dynamite roll truly blew me away. A must try is the Miso Phat roll because duhhhh miso phat lol. Everything was so fresh and the food comes out so quickly as they prepare it right there at the sushi bar. I definitely recommend stopping by for lunch or dinner. It is a very small spot, you have to wait outside to be seated, and they do not have a bathroom in the restaurant but somewhere within the strip mall.

I knew I had to try this place based on the many positive Yelp reviews. We had dinner here on a Thursday night and it was truly delicious. We ordered the baked rolls, the hamachi crudo, and spicy roll- all were delicious. Service was great

4.750 stars. Phenomenal hole in the wall find for wonderful, unpretentious, and inexpensive sushi (for Maui, anyway). We heard about this place from a fellow hotel guest and had to check it out. You can put your name on a Yelp waitlist to speed things along, which we did. It took about 35 minutes of waiting after we got to the restaurant and the kind gentleman host made sure that everybody was taken care of. He was host, table busser, credit card runner, and to go order taker all at once. Not sure how he did it all, but I was a bit stressed watching him juggle 5 different parties (he wasn't though!) There are probably only about 25 seats max at the restaurant so predicting when you would be sat is probably difficult. Food was excellent. We got a baked roll, the miso butterfish (to die for and reminded me of Roy's back in the day!), and three sushi rolls. Everything came out quickly and was A+++ fresh and delicious! All items were about $25 each, which is reasonable for Maui. We'll be back on our next trip to Maui!

Hubby and I visited on Wednesday, 5/29/2024 just after opening. Such a cute, friendly, business to support. Sat at the last table near the kitchen. Sushi bar was open, but quickly filled up. The staff were welcoming and inviting making our visit more worthwhile. They serve the freshest, high grade fish we've ever had. Broke Da Mouth kine!! We ordered 2 rolls - TNT roll and Miso Happy, amaebi nigiri and the miso butterfish. Hands down the BEST! While talking story with the staff, I mentioned I wanted to try uni. So glad I did! It was not what I was expecting, it was better!! Light and fresh, creamy like butter with hint of salty ocean. Cannot wait to return to Maui. Will definitely be going back for more! Highly recommend!

Great sushi spot!! Everything was so fresh and delicious. We loooved the TNT Roll with fresh poke on top. And the Rainbow Roll with the multicolored tobiko made the dish not only super tasty but also almost too beautiful to eat!! Service was amazing - the host and our waitress were both super friendly! Overall a great spot for sushi in the Kihei area.

This place was delicious!! Everything was so fresh. My husbands friend used to live in Maui and recommended this place so we had to give it a try. The tuna was the best thing about this roll and the crab was SO good. All fresh and delicious. Rolls are bigger than I expected so one roll per person is definitely enough! The service was good as well and food came out fast. Would recommend!

Stumbled on this local gem not knowing it's DDD history. It's small and there is apparently always a wait. Used the wait list and got seated as we arrived. Sushi was outstanding, super fresh and flavorful. Edamame was steamed and salted perfectly. Must have the TNT roll and recommend the 007 roll-not only enormous but delicious. Don't write this place off by the location or looks, you will be missing something special.

The TNT Roll is AMAZING!!!!! Everything was really good & our waiter was great! The miso butterfish was top notch. Yellowtail jalapeño was great! The other roll we got was really good too - it was one of the baked ones. Love the casual local feel to the place.

We come here often because the rolls are just the best! The only downside is the restaurant doesn't seat that many people. There's a 5-6 seat sushi counter and 5-6 tables that seats 4. The wait staff are friendly and give excellent service.

Omg this place was soooooo good seriously some of the best sushi I've ever had! Not sure if you can make a reservation but we came as a party of 5 on a Friday night around 530-6 and waited probably about 30 mins or so outside but it was totally worth it!

If I could give Miso Phat 10 stars I would!! Hands down some of the BEST sushi I've ever had. My husband and I both ordered our own handrolls - soft shell crab and the unagi. My soft shell crab was seriously the best hand roll I've ever had in my whole life and I regret not coming back here a second time before our trip was over, we just didn't have enough time :( The TNT roll (crunchy roll) is also a fan favorite and I thought was very good. All the sushi was also fresh and the service was lightning speed. The only difficult part about coming here is getting in, but you can put your name on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time without showing up in person which cut down on our wait time substantially. We also ordered the Baked Mussels as an appetizer. They weren't exactly what I had pictured for basked mussels and definitely on the smaller side, but still very tasty. Next time I come I'd probably skip and just stick to the sushi. Awesome spot!

The service and food was excellent. We had some vegetarian rolls, miso soup and a house salad with sesame dressing. The salad was so good. It was so refreshing and large enough for two to share.

Wow! This place is absolutely amazing and I suggest everyone try it! The service was incredible and the food was even better. I sat at the bar around 6pm and watched the sushi chefs work, they even handed me my food. Order the local sashimi combo it's amazing!

This sushi is out of this world. We tried TNT, 007 abs another roll that I can't remember the name of now. It has ahi poke on top. These rolls were delicious!! They tasted so fresh, the sauce drizzled on top was unlike any I've tried before. The service was quick and the waiters were very friendly and helpful in giving tips on what to try. I loved the seating outside, modern, clean and great music! I would come here every meal if I could!

The fish was super fresh. The TNT roll was quite good, though I expected something named "TNT" to have a little heat to it. The spider roll and the tempura roll were also pretty good, through the prices seemed quite high, at least compared to California sushi prices. The poke bowls, however, were not good! The fish, as I said, was VERY fresh, but the rice had no flavor and was not sticky at all making it extremely hard to eat. There was seemingly no sauce in the bowl - it was the most bland poke I've ever eaten and at $24, the most expensive. I REALLY wanted to like the place and, maybe if we'd just gotten nigiri it would've been better but hella expensive. As it was though, I probably won't be visiting Miso Phat on my next trip to Maui.

Very crowded, popular place! Recommend reservations as there is limited seating. Sushi was very well priced. I have to say the cuts are generous, not delicately cut like I usually get them on the "mainland". Overall, freshly prepared in a fusion style topped with sauces. Highly recommend you try local the local fish.

Frequent flyer for their happy hour post a good beach rot. I love their TNT roll with all my heart but you can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Staff is always friendly and service is always super speedy!

This sushi is so deliciously fresh! I've had all of their regular rolls and a handful of special rolls. They're definitely slightly expensive but it's standard for Hawai'i. Staff is always so nice and accommodating. Excited to try their happy hour next time I go!

This is located in a shopping complex so there's plenty of parking. My fiancé and I made reservations so we were seated right away for dinner. We sat at the bar. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We ordered a few rolls to share and poke. Everything was fresh and delicious. We really enjoyed our time there.

Amazing food. The service was friendly and helpful. Must eat place. Everything was fresh and yummy.

Here are our FIVE star FAPS!!! Food (F): Oh how we miss fish from Hawaii! Looking for some ono-licious sushi, we would recommend Miso Phat! The delectable and appealing sushi is kind of pricey, but for the rising prices of fish, we think it's worth it! Our favorite of the three was the Miso Phat roll. Best looking? The Rainbow Roll! Ambience (A): It's an intimate restaurant with beautiful artwork on the walls. All the tables are full at all times, so lots of chatter and happiness! It's great for a night out with friends, families, and partners. Parking (P): Ample parking! It's in a shopping center, so it's free and accessible! Service (S): We had the best waitress! She was so patient and kind with bringing us water refills more ginger and checking in on our orders. She took the time to split our check while most places would prefer if just be on one card. Overall, Miso Phat is a Maui Place to eat some yummy sushi!

This spot gives 100% every time. FRESH seafood. Excellent sushi rice. Belly up to the bar and watch the sushi master roll his talent to table. Amazing.
