Seriously, if you have a trip to Maui coming up in a month, call them and make a reservation. Walk in. Ignore the fact that it's a small place and just try to enjoy that you're on a beautiful island about to eat some very high quality sushi.
Best sushi I have ever had! Make reservations way in advance. Always booked. Hiro is great.
Well worth the wait. The sashimi combo was about as fresh and delicious as you can get, paired with a simple rainbow roll and not sake makes for an amazing dinner. Sitting right at the bar watching the prep is a real treat. Only 16 people allowed in the restaurant at a time!
I red numerous reviews on line and was told that Koiso Sushi was the best sushi on the Island and some people even say it's the best in the world, but I feel that is a bit of an exaggeration. I am not marking the restaurant down for unrealistic expectations based on reviews and recommendations, but simply because of the fact that I'm from Seattle, and can confidently say that there are 10 or 15 restaurants I have been to in Seattle many times that had better tasting sushi. I also graded down the restaurant because the omakase should change depending on the season and what is freshest, however it looks from photos and reviews that the omakase we had was the same as people being served 2 months ago, 2 years ago, and probably 5 or 10 years ago.
Wonderful place for real sushi. Only 14 seats, which can sell out weeks in advance, so plan ahead!
Overall the restaurant had some cool character, and the staff was friendly enough, but I can't justify the long wait times (I was told you need to book two or three weeks in advance).
This sushi was among the best that I have ever had. The fish was so fresh and the quality was superb. Not to mention, the quality of rice was exceptional as well. The presentation of the sushi was like artwork. Every time I look at the picture I took, my mouth waters. Service was also very good.
Anyone who gives this place less than three stars is a dope. One review said they spent half hour trying to find the place. Dude. I know it's hidden in the back of a shopping center, but it wasn't that hard to find. Another review said he was discriminated against and was turned away when he walked in. Uhhh, its called a reservation, guy. If you read the other reviews before posting yours, you would have known that you have to make one at least a month in advance. Otherwise, if you walk in without a reservation and see an empty seat, it's being reserved for someone who doesn't have a sense of entitlement and doesn't cry and point fingers when something doesn't go their way.
